Look Out! An angry person!

I've finished reading 'Sputnik Sweetheart' and am now reading 'The Wind-up Bird Chronicles'. Yes, as you can guess, I really like reading Mr Murakami's books, and the fact that I have no new books to read. I really should check out the library on the third floor for any new books, or books that I haven't already read.

I might actually get 'After Dark' this weekend, in the hopes that I'm not too busy with weddings and stuffs. Three of my coming weekends are already fully booked with weddings, so I may have to get my soon-to-be-mine 'After Dark' after work. We'll see how it goes.

Am currently pissed off with someone. That person is being very unfair and discriminating. The thing was, the person emailed me something which was very unclear. And so I replied to the person with very clear answers and some very clear questions. But then this morning the person replied with very vague statements, and didn't even bother to answer the questions I posed. Bluddee "f-word with 'er' at the back!".

Enough of that.

Yesterday, we had this singing competition during office hours in the auditorium. I went there with a friend just to see the contestants. My friend will be singing today. Anyway, after two contestants, I told my friend I had to be getting back to work, since there was something that needed doing. So I left. About half an hour later, he came to see me and told me that the competition was postponed till today. He said one of the curtains caught fire from the spotlights, and one guy actually tried to douse the flame with water from a small mineral water bottle.

My First Time

Yesterday, something happened to me. It was the first time for me. But before I get into that, let me start from the very beginning. In the beginning, there was light. Hehehe. Not that far ahead, ok.

This was how it started. I saw this video of an overweight guy who did this simple exercise regime and within 5 months, had lost all of his fat. So, since I saw that it was just a simple regime, I decided to try it out.

We have this gym in our office and I decided to give it a go. So, I brought along my soccer jersey (Real Madrid), shorts, and my futsal boots with me that morning. After work, I went straight to the gym and changed into my exercise gear.

There was only one other patron there at that time. I started my exercise on the treadmill for around 10-15 minutes next to this doctor. We chatted for a while about our families and work. He seems like a pretty decent guy. He saw I was using an iPaq, so he showed me his Dopod. He said he got it for below RM1K, second hand. Which was a really good deal.

After he left, I started with the regime. By that time, there was one fat Malay guy, one thin Indian guy and one equipment technician. After completing 8 of the 10 steps, which consisted of 30 reps each step, I stopped and had a breather.

I felt weird. Extremely exhausted. And I was perspiring non-stop. All of a sudden, I started seeing bright colourful designs all over the place. They were in my vision. Then I knew something was wrong. So I sat on the bench, closed my eyes and concentrated on not passing out. I took short breaths, but it seemed that I was about to pass out any second.

So, I laid down on the floor and closed my eyes. Then, the thin Indian guy, who happened to be a doctor, thank goodness, came over and ask me. "Are you ok?". I told him that I was about to pass out. He checked my pulse and told me to stay the way I was and relax.

A couple of minutes later, he came back and checked my pulse again. He then told me that my pulse was very weak the first time. But now it was normal. So he told me to stay where I was, and only to sit up once I felt better. So I just laid there and tried to relax.

After a while, I sat up and drank some water. And I felt a lot better after that. Then, I stood up, packed my stuff and went home. I thanked the doctor profusely for his help. I think if I hadn't laid down, I would have passed out.

That was the first time for me.

After Dark

Saw Shrek 3 the other day and I must say, I was very disappointed with it. I mean, it's not as funny as the first two. And the storyline is kinda weak. And the jokes aren't what they were in the first two Shrek movies. Luckily I haven't gotten the DVD yet. I don't intend to get it now.

Saw '28 days later' again. I saw it a long time ago, so I saw it again just to recap what happened in the movie, because I intend to watch '28 weeks later' soon. And it is a brilliant movie.

And before that, I saw 'Pathfinder'. And I must say, it's crap. Seriously. And I actually saw the whole movie. Even though it was crap from the very beginning. The only thing it has going for it is the starting, I mean the credits before the movie, and that's about it.

I'm still reading 'Sputnik Sweetheart' and I'm taking my time with it. I'm planning to get Mr. Murakami's latest book called 'After Dark'. According to one website, it has this to say - "A short, sleek novel of encounters set in the witching hours of Tokyo between midnight and dawn, and every bit as gripping as Haruki Murakami's masterworks The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and Kafka on the Shore."

Norwegian Wood

I've just finish reading 'Norwegian Wood'. And yes, it's an extremely good read. I'm currently reading 'Sputnik Sweetheart' by the same author, Mr Murakami himself. I've just started, though this is the second or third time I've read it. It's the same with all Mr. Murakami's books.

I just saw 'Transformers' with my other best buddy, since it was on a Wednesday morning, and my best buddy couldn't take leave on that day. I, on the other hand, was on leave and was loving every minute of it. The movie was great, no doubt about that. The story line is ok, but then again, we all went to see the movie to see the Autobots and the Decepticons, right.

Been extremely busy with work. And with my family. My beloved was suppose to go to a workshop in Pangkor Island for four days. And I assured her that I could take care of our daughter. But on the night before she had to go for the workshop, our daughter suddenly fell ill. Her temperature was high and she was restless. And she threw up a few times that night. My beloved and I couldn't sleep that night as we were caring for our daugther.

We then decided that my beloved couldn't go to the workshop since our daughter needed her mother more than her father in times like these. So, that morning, my beloved had someone to take over her place at the workshop.
