Tonight I'll be departing from KUL to my next destination BKK for a short getaway. I'm taking advantage of this festive holiday to catch up with my uni mates except this time we are meeting at a place that we are all not too familiar.
Marriage and the "Side Effect"
As I was reading this article from Gawker, I couldn't help but to share it. I find it a little hilarious however it does make some sense. To be fair I do think men put on a fair bit of weight if they are being well taken care of by their other half. Enjoy the read.
A new study that followed more than 10,000 people for 22 years showed that women tend to gain weight in the two years following getting married and men typically gain weight two years after getting divorced. Every couple is doomed!
The scientists behind the Ohio State University study attribute the weight gain in women to having more duties around the house after tying the knot, which gives them less time to exercise. They don't take into account the months of dieting, starvation, and idiotic juice cleanses that women endure so that they will not have one ounce of back fat on their wedding day. Once the honeymoon sets in, that weight is going right back where it was and will probably get even worse. We blame you, bridal industrial complex!
For men, there is apparently a "health benefit" to being married, which disappears after divorce. The health benefit, it seems, is a wife who forces you to eat green food and tells you that living off of beer, Hot Pockets, and Cool Ranch Doritos is not a suitable alternative for an adult living as a human being in the universe.
There's only one solution to staying thin forever: don't get married! It's simple, people.

Up in Heaven
Dear Lord,
Many thanks, and in your mighty name.
Amen.
Up in Heaven I know you are watching each and every actions that we've made. I just want to let you know, my buddy a pretty and sweet lady is leaving to Singapore soon and deep down in my heart you would've know what I wanted but I'm leaving it behind because truly I want to wish her all the best. Lord you will take care of her worries and you'll make her realised that you can be somewhere in the equation of life hence I commit her life to you Lord that you will continue to guide her and watch over her.
Many thanks, and in your mighty name.
Amen.

Haven't woke up early during for a period of time as i usually sleep in after working hard for the entire week. Today was an exception because I've actually went to MC for 1 1/2 days due to some serious flu & fever.
No doubt life lately has brought me to a test of faith which I've sorta reached the verge of contemplating whether its worth the effort and time spent with God. However action speaks louder than words. I've worked my way to church despite being sick and persevere through it. The story doesn't end there. I felt awfully terrible the next day and I insist on heading to work as I had an appointment with a listed co,'s Financial Controller. I was told by my bosses to take the day off and cancel the meeting however without me making the decision, I prayed. God answered and the Financial Controller called to postponed the meeting till a later date.
Today, I've recovered nearly as I've a wonderful team of people praying for me light speed recovery. I have to as well because I'll be out the entire day from lunch till late. Meeting up with a bunch of church mates for lunch, follow by church, dinner and movie late at night.
I'm really quite ignorant to doors opened as I've come to a stage where my focus lies on my career and hoping God will naturally put my other concerns into place. Never have I failed to love my previous partners well just that they went off track hence sometimes I would think that in comparison with the meaning of true love defined as love till death do us apart, I've totally no problem abiding simple covenant like this.
Just before I end my note here. Being a gentleman, I would like to dedicate maybe a line or two on my clean space to my ex-gf whom had found new love with a London born Chinese which she met during her cousin's wedding a month ago. They were both the best man and bridesmaid during the event. So I shall give my best blessings to them and may the love last forever.

White lie, black lie, polka dotted lie... a lie is still a lie
Beyond the line:
I came up with this line this morning as I was humming songs with my earphones on in the train catching lotsa uninvited attention. This line simply pass my mind because somehow I believe we are vulnerable creatures when it comes to emotion related matters. We should always manage expectations regardless of the signs which we receive from another homosapien. Afterall most of us love to have the feeling of being wanted and hence we do get signals which we might think its a green light only to find that we are running into a wall.
Moral:
Be straight forward and stop beating around the bush, if you don't intend to take responsibility on words being said then don't even give the slightest hope to your "admirer".
Let me guess, I have an appointment this Friday for lunch and I strongly believe it will be called off even if my ex don't I will as I find it not appropriate to be lunching with someone having a long distance relationship, she will also tell me all sorta nonsense bla bla bla I was the one she truly love back then..... hence the verdict is not to attend the lunch appointment when time comes.

Crazy
Hell of a song which is more than meaningful.
I was just speaking to a friend during dinner that I heard that my ex hooked up with another guy and apparently fell head over heels. He was congratulating me and saying that I should probably start taking bold steps and live a better life instead of being the nice guy which ends up looking as if I'm unwanted.
As I was saying this, coincidentally I was being bless with opportunities and whether or not it materialized I shall not put much expectations as I was trained well to manage clientele's expectations. Nonetheless my emotional feelings for the day stinks for a moment but turned into joy in no time.

Full stop
I was previously hesitating to put a full stop to this blog of mine. I don't published it nor do I go around telling people I have a blog. None the less I am glad I didn't end it as I am a strong believer that memories should be stored in one way or another. Some stored physical items which signifies certain important event or person.
I've been away for quite awhile busy with work with some travelling involved, morphing into a suitcase banker. Well I must say much happened during the hiatus moment. I didn't just went missing in action as I could still meet my buddies once in awhile. However I was more of mind blogger whereby I've sort of brainstormed what I wanted to blog and stored in one of the corners of my mind. I kept reminding myself to at least blog walk my own blog to at least try to add some colours to my ever clean blog.
I've managed to at least made an effort to revive this blogosphere and hopefully I will come back with a little more salt and light of life to share with some of you who still enjoys listening to my playlist everynow and then.
Cheers.
