I Started Driving Again

As far as I can remember, two things happened today. First of all, after the whole morning of waiting and waiting, my mobile phone suddenly worked right after lunch. Not bad. I am very pleased about it.

The other thing is that I drove Alvin Koh from the office to our apartment and back to the office after lunch. Well. Such a long time since I’ve driven. Those good UK time.

Life continues to be interest. Not lonely no more. In fact, I don’t feel like flying back to Singapore this weekend. We shall see.

A New Beginning in Malaysia

No Comments on A New Beginning in Malaysia

First day working in the new AC KL office. Kind of disappointing with Malaysia. Maybe it is not really fair to compare it with the AC JKT but everything in Jakarta seems so classy. And the apartment especially.

As said by Alvin Koh, seems to us that “all eight legs” have to tie together as there is only one car at the moment. To me, I think it is not much of a problem as I do have great companies here. Hate to be alone, you know. Friends are important. And just like tonight, three of us watching Cantonese TV together, quite fun.

Being obsessive, or anything you wish to say, I have got my Malaysian SIM card now. Truly mobile. Kind of. We shall see how my social circle is going to be developed from now on.

Swamped

It has been exactly three weeks which I have not been writing any diary. Surprising how time flies and how much I have lost touch with my inner self.

So what has happened in this three weeks’ time. A lot.

In terms of work, it has gone quite okay. Or more correctly, more bearable. But in terms of my love life, it is still in a mess. Last night had a minor argument with CC. She doubts if she is still the most important person in my world. And of course she is! Think about all the sleepless night because of her. But work really gets in between our relationship. How sad it is. I just hope that it will turn better as time goes by.

Edit 2008.05.12: Now that I read this, it is interesting to see how I am just not able to see something that is so obvious right in front of me.

What Can I Possibly Do?

So finally CC is on her own. But as expected (not as hoped) she becomes quite distant from me. What can I possibly do?

Know My Place

Sunday, that is. Forced myself to wake up this morning. Accompanied the maid and bought some household stuffs. Went over BUN and worked a while. CC called me back to chop up the chicken. We all have a lunch gathering. Then I went back to work a while and they all watched VCD.

Seeing CC and her boyfriend being so close hurt me so much. But I must always remember I am the third party and not the one in her heart.

To Be or To Be Not

To be frank, let’s hope that I have already hit the lowest point of my emotion. And I shall see a bright and clear path soon.

Easy said that done but at least I shall try to seek true happiness.

And not at all simple.

Got to sort out my work, my love, my friends and my family.

To some people, I may be lucky. To be single and lead a non-commit life. Free to see any body I like, free to do whatever I like.

The bottom line is: I have to experience as much as possible when I am young.

My heartbreaks, my disappointing role in the project, the slipping of my friends, the family back in Hong Kong I need to take care of really soon. The question is: shall I emerge in my non-prosperous love life, probably pursuing something that will end up like soap bubble? To be or not to be …

But which way to go?

C’est La Vie

Last night I have stayed up very late Powerpointing. And today’s training was so successful and they applauded at the end.

Not bad, huh?

Seeing CC and her boyfriend so close to each other hurts me so much.

C’est la vie.

How I Miss …

One good news is that I have finally be able to compile all the Replication programs.

And we went for a project dinner with the AC team on third floor. Very nice restaurant and we were sitting near to one of the partner from Australia.

In the lift, I gave CC good hug and a kiss. Damn, I miss those feelings.

Weekend in Singapore

Gone back to Singapore for the weekend. Living without time is really something like “break the habit”. More or less, I have achieved what I wanted to do in Singapore. How much have I spent? I hope is something less than SGD 700.

I think I was very depressed over the weekend. Even I went out with Annie on Saturday, I was not happy. But right now, I feel a lot better. I have got what I want to have. All my CDs and books, the kettle and coffee machine, all went through the custom. I hope I will be happy for another six months.

After starting reading the book “Mars and Venus on a Date”, I realise that if I close my heart (i.e. still feel very sad over my last heartbreak), I will not be able to find anyone close “the right one”. As for CC, I need to go through the 5 steps probably. Or do I want to mess it up again? I guess not.

Have a happy life in Jakarta, Wilfrid!
