Thinking of e Future.

March 29, 2008 kruder 1 comment

Easter came and gone. Now it is the end of March and before I know it, April is nearing. I am surprise at how fast time is passing by.

So much has happened this past 2 weeks and I don’t know where to begin. Work has been pretty intense and there are so much to learn and pyschologically wise, it is really stretching me quite a bit. Way out of my comfort zone… way out of what I used to do…

Been spending quality time with missy j which is a good thing considering how much we have not seen each other since January.  It is good as we get to explore the cities nw and try different places for good dining experience. Also, we get to know more about each other living together :) and also as husband and wife.

I really enoyed the time together and I begin to wonder why is that people have a hard time committing to a person they love? Is it because of fear? Is it because the thought of being with one just person for the rest of your life makes it a lot more scary? If you really like someone, then that sort of thought would not exists. It is only if there is a hint of doubt that will makes your mind thinks twice. Perhaps there is no real answer to this. For me, it is the feeling and you are able to see yourself spend a lifetime with this other person. It is a feeling that comes to you naturally and it did for me.  Frankly, I don’t see much of a difference between now and prior to our marriage.  The only difference is that you put your name on a dotted line and bounded by the laws of man and wife. That’s about it and we still are the same person and nothing else have changed. We are still pretty very much in love with each other. In fact, right now it gives us better focus and direction where we can plan together our future. This is something that is so much more fulfiling and bringing our relationship to another whole new level. All I can say that i’m enjoying my status now and I’m not regreting that I get to be with no other woman but missy j.

On a side note, we just participated in Earth hour earlier on. We simply turned off all our lights and living in an hour of darkness and candles. This is our way to support the conversation of our environment and actively supporting the causes towards climate change and sustainable future. I am happy that we made an active effort to do it.

TV is showing American Beauty again… Always a classic and it reminds me sometimes how dysfuntional people can really be while trying to live the image of a ‘perfect family’. A thought to ponder.

I enjoy preparing dinner with missy and I’m looking forward to more meals together.

High Definition Living

March 14, 2008 kruder 1 comment

My High Definition LCD TV is here! My first big ticket item.Something which I wanted to get all this while back home but never really go about doing it. Picked it up last night and on my way, missy j called me. It was really nice to hear from her and I was very happy to hear her voice. It is a pity that we got cut off…

I was ‘playing’ with the TV last night. Playing with the options, tweaking the settings and I am amazed to see that it is a whole new world out there for digital TV. It’s like they have so much channels and it is more informative as well where there is even channels dedicated to the program guides and others such as traffic watch, weather forecast, parliament news etc. There are even radio channels like jazz. Very interesting. There is a very big difference once you switched between analogue and digital.. it’s like you don’t want to go back there to those crappy analogue channels after viewing the clarity, sharpness and colours of the digital ones. It is even better for those channels with High Definition. I am happy with my new toy and I have a feeling I will be doing a lot of channel surfing the next few weeks. :)

APproaching MidWeek

March 11, 2008 kruder Leave a comment

missy j is away in Taiwan for the week. It is tough for me where I am having one of the toughest period in my time here at work. Having to juggle multiple engagements. It has certainly put my time management and prioritisation skills to the test. Pushing myself to the max and on an adrenalin rush. I can feel the pressure cooking up. I didn’t had time for lunch till 4 pm today. Sigh. I am hoping that things will get better.

It does feel a little weird that I see a different number calling me… and it is missy j from Taiwan who seem so cheery and happy and enjoying herself. It is nice to hear that she is having good fun over there. Of course, I wish very much that I could be there too with her. It really sucks when one party is out on a trip, seeing the world and not worry about anything while here I am, trudging through each day like a battlefield.

Just a few more days to the weekend.. I am really living like a single guy here… feels weird not hearing her voice every night or in the cyberspace. Life is constantly evolving at the moment. Nothing is constant except the routine of me going to work each day.

I just got myself a 32″ HDTV and the best part is I paid it in cash! Sheesh. I have never paid for something so much in cash before. I am supposed to pick it up this Thursday and I’m looking forward to it. It was tough deciding which TV to get and I am still deliberating till this moment… Too spoilt for choices. Plus, my housemate and I signed up for Foxtel too. I guess we will be staying at home more often now and be a full-fledged couch potatoes. It doesn’t help that Euro 2008 is coming too this june!

It’s here!

Finally one of the parcels has arrived. Thank god. All the worries are partly put away. HOwever, I am a little disappointed that my usb cable and power adapter went missing from the box. Apparently the box went through a lot of battering and it was really in bad shape. I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that there will not be other missing items anymore. The reason why this happened was due to the gap in the box where small items might have dropped out. Bummer.

Oh well, whatever it is on a bigger picture,  I am hoping the rest of the parcels will arrive this week.

No Excuses

March 7, 2008 kruder 1 comment

The whole week has been very draining and tiring. There were so much going on at work. I felt the stress piling up and thankfully, despite all the pressure, i managed to get some work done and I definitely feel much better about it. It is certainly not easy especially in a new environment where there is so much you have to learn and pick up in such a short span of time. It is tough but I always tell myself that, it is in times of challenges that you will progress.

Luckily I had good music to accompany me at work. To get by the day by immersing into a world of music that makes my life feel that it is a perfect one with pure harmony. I am so glad to have listen to them and I am beginning to slowly like some of the artistes myself… such as James Figurine, who is one half of The Postal Service and the group, The Postal Service itself.

Music makes my world go round!

I can finally apply for my driver’s license after paying off the fines that were outstanding from my uni days. It is scary to know that they still have those records all this while. In a way, it is good that I clear it off.. which means, I’ve move on away from my past and now no excess baggage to bother me anymore.

TGIF

I don’t know why but the past week, I have been feeling very giddy and head heavy. It’s like a headache that does not go away. It all started on Tuesday and for the rest of the day, I felt nausea and wanting to throw up from time to time. I contributed it to the lack of rest but i have been trying to sleep as early as I could and it seems like it’s not enough for some reason. I keep on waking up earlier than my alarm clock buzz. Not sure if it is the stress at work that is creeping up on me… I need a proper good rest eh and I think it would be better once missy j comes over.
