don know don know


jack: what do you mean you don't know? i thought that you already know.

jim: no. what do you mean i already know? i don't know about it. i don't know anything.

jack: cannot be.

jim: what you mean cannot be? i just don't know. so what is it?

jack: you are kidding right?

jim: hello! i don't know means i don't know. lets just leave it as that. now, just tell me what it is.

jack: thats strange. i would think that you will be one of the first to know.

jim: can you stop it and just tell me. this is getting on my nerves.

jack: ok ok. i just wanted you to know that...

(just then, john arrived and sat down at the table)

john: whats up man?

jack: ah! john is here. i'll bet he can tell you. go on john, tell him what you know.

john: know what?

jack: what do you mean know what? know about me. you know...

john: (wide eye) i don't know at all. what are you talking about?

jim: you mean you don't know what this guy here is talking about also?

john: no! of course not! what talking you? what is it that i should know but i don't?

jack: come on! you guys are just pulling my leg, right? john, you should know.

john: this is getting ridiculous. i have no idea what you are talking about and it is killing me to know that i don't know something that i should know.

jack: well, i just thought that you would know and that...

jim: stop it! none of us here knows, so for goodness sake, just tell us already.

jack: ok ok. keep your pants on. its not like it is some life and death thingy and that without it...

john: enough. just go straight to the point will you.

jack: ok ok. i just though that you guys by know should know that i am...

jenni: hey guys! whats up? whats happening?

jack: ah! i'm sure jenni will know!

jim: know what?

john: yeah know what?

jenni: yeah. i know. so what about it?

jack: see. told you jenni will know. fancy you guys calling yourselves my good friends.

jenni: now you know who is your closest friend, right?

jack: yeah yeah. oh well, better than these 2, for sure.

jim: all right. this is too much. what is it already?

john: yeah. what are you both talking about?

jack: we are talking about what you both should have already know but don't. some friends...

jim: we are obviously not going to get anything out of this man here. woman, you seem to know, you tell us.

john: yeah spit it out, now... please.

jennie: thats better... well since you all don't already know, it will have to be up to me then.

jim: yes?

jenni: nothing much actually.

john: so, out with it already!

jenni: jack is gay.

jim: what!?

john: what?!

jack: what?!?!?!?!?

jack: stop looking at me like that! i am not gay! what do you mean that i am gay? i am definitely not!

john: you sure?!

jack: i'm sure! jenni, what do you mean you know? you don't know at all and here you are going around, anyhow talk.

jenni: well, i just thought that...

jack: don't anyhow think lah. you almost humiliated me. you are wrong. i am not gay and so i concluded that you don't know about it either.

jim: 2 things. one, i'm glad you are not gay. two, jenni, you are no better than us.

jenni: oh well. thats what i thought.

john: now that we have your sexual inclinations cleared up, what is it that we don't know anyway? tell us.

jenni: yeah. what is it that even i don't know about?

jim: quite a lot, from the looks of it.

jenni: shut up.

john: quit it both of you. jack, don't delay and tell us now.

jack: right right. basically, all i want you to know is that i am...

(just then, jack's phone begins to ring)

jim: what the hell? what was he talking about?

john: (shakes head)...

jenni: another teh C?

thinking cap

today must have been 1 of those days that i had my thinking cap on, since my mind was just filled with thoughts. even though i am still at work right now, it does not necessarily mean that all them thoughts were about work.


everyone of us had made decisions that changed our whole life. and i don't just mean finishing that cheesecake and putting on that extra 1 kg which can never be lost, no matter how much you exercised. nope, what i meant were things like how you said something mean to someone and in 5 years time, that someone actually became 1 of the ten most richest person in the country and who happened to buy up your company and you became the first person to be sacked just because you did not dot you 'i's and cross your 't's.


i asked a close friend today on whether he would choose work first or getting a life. his answer was if work was good, then work would be my life. hmmm... if work was my life, then i think i better be re-looking at my life.
work cannot be my life. work has just got to be work. work has got to be something which helps me live my life. face it, without money, life will be just that little bit more harder, don't you think so? than again, i'm not saying that i'll be busting my ass over making money, thats just not me.


my colleague was telling me that maybe my work is not challenging me enough now. maybe i am getting too comfortable with my work and so i might be finding it a bit boring? nope, that is nothing wrong with my work. in fact, there is nothing really very wrong with things, or is there? its kind of a subjective question. what do you think is wrong and what can you say is right? or maybe, there is never any right or wrong, just a matter of perspective.

tomorrow will be a good day. can you feel it in your bones?
trust me, tomorrow will be a better day. it always is.

makeup blog

what has happened over the past month that i was gone from here?

let me try and put down some of the interesting stuff.

came back from a fabulous but short holiday from phuket.
for beach lovers, this is the place to go. patong beach is absolutely fantastic and be sure to stay on till the sunset because you will be able to catch a really glorious sunset, barring any cloud cover. ironically, the waters are cleaner than before the tsunami, or thats what i was told from those who had been there before.
furthermore, we stayed at these 2 really nice resorts. 1 of them had a private jacuzzi for each of the deluxe rooms. we spent hours soaking in our jaccuzi in the night, after hours of running around in the day.
the other resort we stayed at had this beautiful swimming pool that looked out to an equally beautiful beach. needless to say, we spent an entire afternoon in the pool, till it was way pass dinnertime.
did i mentioned that each night of stay at these resorts cost us less than 50 dollars per pax? believe it.

i came back with tons of photos (from my friends who took them, all 300 plus of them), nice memories and a really nice tan (though painful!). i believe i'll be going back there again. All the whole trip cost me was about 450 dollars, including airfare (budget no less) and taking note that we had seafood dinners on 2 of those nights.


i was completely swamped with work when i came back.
i had to come back to work for the last 2 weekends. in fact, i was working over the labour day weekend and the holiday itself. well, i guess i am really earning my pay now.
i have to come back in to work this sunday morning too.
looks like it is going to be a very hectic month. the month of june and july will be a bit calmer, just like the calm before the storm, because from august till november, it is going to be 'no day, no night' work again. aaahhhhh... i sure am looking forward to that!


where do you think i should go for holidays?
yep, i need to look for some places to good. does not matter that i just came back from one. i have 19 days of leave to clear before end august, end july, if you consider that i might be tied up with work for the whole month of august. oh where oh where, should i go.
somewhere cheap and nice... with the glut of budget airlines coming online, it will be a waste to not make use of them, don't you think so?
