Malaysia once again...

After 7 long years I'm finally back in Malaysia again. I'll be traveling around Singapore, Thailand as well as within Malaysia until November 1st. This time back, I've brought my HS friend,Noah on this trip. She is also a foodie so we will be fine.

The flight from JFK to HK felt like an eternity with 15 hrs straight watching all the latest movies released on DVD and then a 2 hour layover. Passed out waiting for the connecting flight to KLCC and then passed out once again on the plane for 3 hours. Once we landed, I went through the immigration line pretty fast and waited for Noah because those of foreign passport had to see immigration officers for their stamps while I had the smart card which scans your thumb print and passport.

Since it has been so long, I almost didn't recognize my favorite uncle. Had to take a closer look before I recognized him. As we drove away from the airport, our car overheated and we were just chilling on the side of the highway until my 2nd uncle came to pick us up. We sat on the railing as we munched on our beef jerky and drank out water.

Once the 2nd uncle picked up us, we got dropped off my aunt's place to settle down and chow down. My (1st) uncle bought us a ton of food--satay with curry sauce, fried shrimp crackers, moon cakes as well as cokes to drink. Chowed down on the satay but two orders of like 20 skewers were a bit too much to have for dinner at 10pm. After eating, we finally had a place that wasn't a 1/2 bent chair and it felt AWESOME to lay flat and pass out.

9/26

Woke up pretty early due to jet lag (6:30am) so I decided to empty out my big suitcase full of vitamins and ginseng. Chatted to my uncle for a bit and watched the news which consisted of China's grand opening first fleet operational with 5% of the sailors were women. Then came the hard topic of Japan vs China on the Diaoyu island. News is the most depressing thing ever to hear about! After that, my aunt came back so we headed for FOOD! Went to SS2 for breakfast and had two different kinds of dosa and a roti. I also tried the new 3 layer tehrik with 1/3 milo; 1/3 nescafe and then the tehrik... I DEVOURED my food in less than 10 mins of getting them...I was starving and trying to make up my 7 years of not getting decent malaysian food.

Afterwards, my sis came around and saw her puppy. Went to a mall near by to get the necessities like shampoo and toothpaste. After the mall, we headed to dinner and stuffed our face with nasi lemak, grilled tom yum fish, blackbean sauce lala (clams) as well as chow kuai tehow served with the side of 100 plus!!! I AM IN FOOD HEAVEN!!

Deadmaus5 concert at Roseland Ballroom 10/4/11!

Deadmaus5

Deadmaus5 is my 3rd DJ I've heard live. The first was Tiesto and then David Guetta at Pacha NYC. I hope to go to more shows if my budget allows it. It's an awesome experience and very liberating to just be there where music is blasting all through the night.

NYT Personality Quiz

According to NYT Personality Quiz I'm an Adventurous Spirit: You have got a fresh positive attitude to life which means you are naturally drawn to anything that is modern and original. You have strong views and opinions and your adventurous spirit means that you are not afraid to ruffle a few feathers in order to voice them. When all is said and done, you are a bit of an intellect with a tendency to do a spot of soul searching from time to time.

You're a fast-mover and feel energized about anything that gets your pulse racing! You're enthusiastic about life and an upbeat spirit who knows how to have fun and tends to value all which is fresh and new in the world. You tire quickly of old conventions and outdated ideas, wishing to experience new methods with youthful innocence and vigor. It's all about big thrills and exciting antics that take you out of your comfort zone. You want to feel connected to the world around you and actively seek out opportunities to get closer to nature. For you, it is all about broadening your horizons and living life to the fullest!

Pain/Love

Love--what is love? It's the age old question that scholars, romance novelists and ordinary people have tried to wrap around for centuries now and even centuries to come.

How can this invisible thing, not even a thing--but rather a feeling which cannot be grasped, kicked, let alone see cause so much pain--physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

When you do have love--you feel invincible and it does not matter how slow or fast time past, you only care about love.

But,

When it's gone--you rather die or better yet just disappear forever never to walk the earth again or see anyone. You hole up in a dark room, eating your feelings away, disregarding any social or personal etiquette and just want to say 'FUCK YOU WORLD. AND YEAH, FUCK YOU TOO _(fill in the blank)_'.

The question is then--when and how do we get over it? Do you find anyone person to subdue the pain until you're bored and find another? Do you sulk away your life and say FUCK OFF LOVE, I DON'T NEED YOU! (Gives finger) or does time actually heal all if not most...

Are we just programmed to always need someone in our life no matter how minuet their role may be: a simple 'hey, how are you?' to 'let's get hammered and forget!'...

What would happen if I just wake up one day and just forgot everything--forgot anniversaries, forgot places associated with the feeling, forgot the favorite food, forgot everything they said, forgot them...

will I still be scarred somehow?

Where am I now at this point?

I've been asked a lot recently about what I want to do with my life. Seriously, I don't have a fucking clue! Who does at this age? (unless you're like a genius or something...) I know I want to travel a lot now when I'm young even though I hate the plane rides to and from the place, but I do love being in new places. I still have the travel bug in me, but I'm also plagued by my sense of responsibility which will NOT allow me to travel at least for a long while. I have to pay my debt--aka STUDENT LOANS!

My plan though is to try to pay 1/3 of my loans by the end of the year and then think of another plan...

I think everything is easier said than done....
