Dad was right... hehe!

Last week, I had been working at the office till really late. Sometimes 8 something, sometimes 9 someting. Go home sleep and next day repeat the whole process.

My dad asked me few times during the week if I had enough rest or not. Seriously I dunno how I did it.

Friday night was the end of my week as not coming in on Saturday. I have been coming in on Sat for like the past 3 weeks. Talk about having a life! Haha!

Suppose to meet up with the boss for some "Happy hour" that night but the boss cancelled suddenly. Pretty last minute. No worries. He promised me this week we'll go. Haha!

I parked at Snake Temple after work that night and gave a call to my friend on the mainland. Ask her what she doing and if got plans. So in the end went out with the gang for beers! Her sis just came down so I also long time never met her. So meet sekali gus! Venue : Sega Fredo @ Autocity (need to take Penang bridge or ferry as on mainland).

Had my dinner there at Sega (first solid meal of the day). Followed by beers! Muahah! It was really a nice time catching up and reminising on the past. Loads of laughs and fun! Well, what can I say, great company! It was such a relief for me as it was a busy week.

Actually wasn't bad lah going all the way there. Coz these friends also come over to Pulau Tikus sometimes for beers. Now I know what it feels like to drive all the way home after few rounds of beer! Haha! This what they call give and take mah!

Woke up on Saturday and felt like head spinning. Took a bath and drove to Alor Setar. Took the ferry accross. It was so nice and relaxing to see Penang in the background, waves coz of the ferry, the Penang bridge and of course the mainland approaching. I saw jelly fish!

Drove all the way to Alor Setar. Reached my aunt's boutique, she ask me follow my couz run some errands. So this 18 year old guy who just got license decided to drive me in his Gen-2.

We reached a one-way road and he had to go opposite. He ask me how so I said should be ok lah. Heck I am not from Alor Setar mah. So he decides to zoom by, came to a junction and did not stop.

The car had been hit on it's side wheel by a silver Kancil. Two of us got out and apologise to the aunt. Being the older and mature couz I talked to the lady and kind of cooled her down. Me and couz were like speaking broken Hokkien with her but thank God it worked!

I was a bit annoyed coz I came all the way and got stuck in an accident. I told that to my couz. It is a darn waste of my time. He called his uncle, uncle came and kautim the whole thing. Took the lady's car to repair.

Couz was feeling in a state of shock. I grabbed the keys from him and drove the car. His legs were like shaking. Fetched my lil couz from his drum lessons and went to their house to fetch their sis.

Basically had lunch with aunt and family, drive around and drove back to Penang.

But wait, there was this classic car exhibition so went to Autocity , AGAIN! Hahah! I just learnt there is a difference in cars; vintage is like Henry Ford era, classic is like 1960's and modern classic is like the age of the Volvo 240 (my era, well almost)... Haha! I dun really dig most of the cars that were vintage.

Went home, mandi, went out dinner with dad, uncle and aunt.

10 p.m. left home for clubbing. Clubbing was ok lah. Met up with friends from another department. Really crowded that day at Momo and the place we sat was like the highway of Momo. So keep getting ppl bumping into u.

Sunday, as promised, had to fetch my aunt for church. Then it's the ussual shopping time where I have to drive her.

Told her I was in a bit of a rush. Went home had lunch and out the door again.

Myvi gathering at Bagan Ajam mainland. This weekend was the most I used the bridge. 3 days in a row! A lot of members came so something like 40 ppl.

RS autos organized the gathering at their shop. Mostly a promotional thingy so that we buy there stuff. Had a very interesting conversation with the guys about cars and how to improve the little machine. Hehe.

This was my third time and beginning to feel part of the group. Everyone becomes a little dramatic when about to leave. Some went to Pacific to play bowling. I had to shoot back to Penang again as had appointment with dad.

I told myself I am not leaving the house for the rest of the evening. Right now I am getting ready for bed. Tiring week indeed but it was great! I can't believe I did so many things. Hehe!

Can I be honest?

Honesty sometimes can be risky. This with regards to friendship can test the strength and closeness of the friendship. It is never easy.

You know a friend like too well and fear that being honest is gonna create a confrontation in a friendship. The friend may just like freak-out or even be offended just because you tried to be honest.

So there are ppl who keep it to themselves in fear that it would complicate things with their best friend. Sorry... I dun think it is a pro-active approach(yeah, only now I can say it... lol).

The best is to get it out in the open. The good, the bad and the ugly. Sometimes friends surpress how they feel to someone and in the end the other friend dunno sh*t what's going on.

If your not happy about something with the person, just say it. But say it nicely. Be open! That would be the best way rather than to keep anger and frustration inside. No one knows how you feel until you actually tell that person.


People often say that they can take honesty at no extra cost but in the end feel offended and upset with the person who spoke to them.

Could it be the way the message is conveyed? Feeling a little "understanding" to the situation, empathatic and the feeling of "I really wanna help you" should be applied.

They say that only your friends will tell u the truth because they care and they want to help you. Ur enemy could not be bothered and would like to see u in the pitts.

Being a listener of a friend being honest, interpretating the message can be a subjective thingy; no right or wrong.

It all depends how a friend can take it. Sometimes if interpreted, the message could have been sent by someone who cares or means something to you. Otherwise, it could be seen as your invading my privacy----> tension ----- > piss off.

I sometimes have been told by my friends and somehow get upset at what they say. Haven't we all? But I guess they care and it may sound like just human-nature to yell. But there intention could be quite clear in helping you. It may be some sought of advise to improve or just their way of conveying the message.

I guess in life, it's good to look at things in general positively. If everything was bad, life would be so demotivating and nothing to look forward to. But in the end, it's all human nature. Everyone has growing feelings and personalities.
