Dacryocystitis

I have been in blog void, writers block or whatever you choose to call it.
Needless to say the cause.

Currently recovering from an allergic bout of a really irritated opthalmic nerve.
I am thinking of alcohol syringing while meeting a really old acquaintance really soon.

The End of the Too-Much-To-Do-In-So-Little-Time Syndrome

Well since November technically didn't exist for the blog; my humble apologies. I just had a LOT to do then. Tests followed by exams ... hey even to the extent of skipping a religious holiday, I was so caught up with work. Papers, pens, lack of sleep, fast food, coffee, towering dirty laundry with exceptional weather; I wonder why I didn't stew myself in that mess. Though it would be a pretty noxious one.

Hopefully I justified myself there even though I am not convinced. Most of the above could have been avoided if I planned well and more importantly kept to it. My current brainwave is to put that into the new year's resolution.

Speaking of which; the year is coming to an end as another is waiting to begin. Well what a year has it been (a terrible cliche on my part). With a new course, a growing blog (which often gets neglected) and people and my discovery of many new things, 2008 is itself something to be reckoned with. I might do justice to that with a post on it.

Speaking of posts now; I thank all the readers of Truly Home which credits on being my personal favourite. I sincerely hope to bring more good stuff to the blog.

Though there is not much good happening around us to cherish about; to put it simple: a lot of short sighted people out there y'all. And there is not simply that much money to go around these days and even more disheartening is the growing disparity among all of us. Yet life must go on (another cliche and film adaptation). There are still many simple pleasures in life which cause less than a dime and most of the best ones are F.O.C.

Unfortunately for me, food is not one of them. I'm making a mental note to learn to cook better in the holidays along with internet social networking (Facebooking and to a lesser extent Friendstering), researching, reading, bargain hunting, meeting old acquaintances and the general crappiness of my seemingly-dull-yet-exciting life.

With that, I am done with this post. Look out for the coming days; I might come up with something and pray the internet connection gets better.

P/S I am planning to watch the Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons in which the original version is available at the External Links section of the Wikipedia article of the short story.

Return to Reality

After gauging on food and books for the whole week, I at least feel better now. Typically, it means the usual psychotic amount of work is going to start soon. The holidays are given just so that we don't die by mistake and we can recharge our batteries to discharge them effectively for the coming months which indeed are grim and scary looking.

I feel that I have a plan but then again reviewing my past records on plans .... Umm lets just say that best laid plans need not only be thwarted by obscure things like luck and by the smallest of things; big things: like being carefree (other words: lazy) and unnatural contentedness are sure fire holes as well.

But then again, you can never be sure without trying and this is what I am going to do. I at least minutely improve each time so let us see how this goes ...

I am not all sunshine yet but it takes a little while to get there after what I have been through these past weeks ...

Post 300 Rant

With evaporation of the jubilant feeling after 300, with all the work consuming me ... I was at the end a living zombie with caffeine toxicity and with don't-know-what-else maladies. Feeling crappy and mundane on the whole.

Some had their funny-bone tickled by me, probably they had just brains of cuttle-bone. There was the idiotic fellow in the bus station blithering in a language he thought I could not understand on how we booked the tickets beforehand without paying. Oh you self-consumed snake, if you knew that we live in a place where access to the nearest ticket counter sets us 30 minutes back, you would know to keep your orifice shut. Plus all you had to do was ask the person at the counter not spout venom at people who were already late for their bus. It was his only silver lining, if not I would have given him a taste of my acidity. pH 0 that is ...

Though thinking back, my RM55 had probably gone to waste since I was squashed like a sardine in the bus back home: my seat could not recline while the seat in front of me hyper-reclined. PERFECT.

On reaching back, I was so tired that I spent and am still spending the days sleeping to rid of the tiredness of the past weeks. Minus the fact that I nearly killed myself eating too much yesterday, there is pretty much negativity flowing from me.

Hoping for sunnier skies at least today to stop sounding hysterical and undead.

WE HIT 300!

Not the movie 300 or anything but the blog has finally crossed the 300 mark thanks to some new readers and smart advertising.

Either way, it should just get better and I am deeply appreciative to all of those who drop by to hear what I say or stumble upon.

So, many thanks and great content will follow once I am free which is like 3 weeks from now.
Till then I am going for a slumber on the blogging front ...

Weekly Digest and An Announcement

This week on the whole was just filled with excessive BP with a surprising final exam on Monday followed by one on Friday which was known for quite sometime (nevertheless still an exam). How the exam timetable eluded the whole class with none of us knowing is a mystery worth a Bermuda Triangle or shows how bad inter-department miscommunication can be.

Besides that, everything was simply as usual busy with added pressure thanks to this.

And I have added the Youth Says Broadcaster thingi in the blog, so don't be shocked or anything if anything pops out.

Confused Circadian Rhythm

Finally, I am supposed to have begun writing but well I am just so confused because my sleep pattern got so botched up that I can't even differentiate day and night. So, no afternoon nap for today and it is Sleep-All-You-Want in the bus back home.

Interesting things around the neighbourhood:

1) There are increased number of dogs.
2) This naturally is bad news for me.
3) Not only they restrict my mobility, they yelp all the way through the night when you are trying to elucidate the relationships between the internal thoracic artery and posterior inter-costal arteries.
4) They look cute when they are young, but still...
5) ... (Nothing to add here, just to fill up the space ... I am confused, remember).

Depressed

Why do we get depressed when everything is going alright?

Sometimes, depression looms when people without arms and are impoverished lifelong seem to be happy.

Not that it helps anyway...

Feeling Numb

Too-Much-To-Do-In-So-Little-Time Syndrome has caught up on my blogosphere activities.

Frankly speaking, I haven't got that many ideas to post nowadays. In fact, no ideas at all. The passion, spirit and essence has drained away due to excessive slave hoarding.

I am just feeling senseless, numb and intoxicated with nothingness.

When I wake from the stupor of dullness, I will surely post something.

Till then, hang on and keep on visiting.

P/S Thanks for acknowledging your true nature, CHILD.

Between 29th of February till What Day is Today (???)

For being inactive, I blame it on my Too-Much-To-Do-In-So-Little-Time Syndrome. The days were passed in a haze of tiredness, work, work and more work and playing with colour.

However, so much has happened within the few weeks yours truly hibernated. The country got shaken up, some people were happy and generally most people in shock. I got myself a new roll of mahjong paper (How does it fit in here, I do not know)...
