The Best Things
Ask yourself:
"If you had to lose everything you ever remembered, but you could keep only ONE memory, what would it be?"
I wanna keep memories of Corus, KL.
From the planning, to the execution, to the end, and everything in between, I want to keep all that memory intact.
I think its the May 2005 post. It's somewhere in there. Go find it here.
There was the radical invite.
There was the unexpected reply.
Then there were the sleepless planning nights for our 1st trip overseas w/o the parents.
Then there was the point of no return when the booking was made.
There were more planning nights, things to see, places to go, food to eat.
There was the anticipated morning (where she was late as usual)
Then there was the bus ride.
There was the food along the way.
There was the revelation of the hotel room.
There was the fun in the trip, with abstinately memorable evenings under the stars listening to old American songs.
There was the nostalgic bus ride home, marking the end of the holiday, but the beginning of something new.
And that was the start of a long journey, now arduous, sometimes painful yet fulfilling at times.
And yes, I do miss her.
And yes, a promise is a promise.
And yes, it's Sue.

The 3-ines make me Superman

I've been at this for a while, the 3-ines to keep me awake and thinking. I think I'm addicted to it.
Since Wednesday night, to be exact when I had to save a particular damsel in distress from a state of complete annihilation, self-mutilation and disintegration.
Lo and behold, the 3-ines... Adrenaline. Nicotine. Caffeine.
Adrenaline. The stuff which your body produces when you're excited. This increases the speed, and the force of the heart beat. Hence pumping more blood around the body and makes you more active. The after effect? When you're in rest, or when the adrenaline stops pumping, you get really really exhausted.
Nicotine. The toxic substance in cigarettes. 'Nuff said. Nicotine is good. Tar is bad. Keeps you awake, cos it stimulates the effect of adrenaline. Nicotine stimulates the release of the hormone epinephrine, which further stimulates the nervous system and is responsible for part of the "kick" from nicotine. Nicotine promotes the release of the hormone beta-endorphin, which inhibits pain.
And lastly, Caffeine. The stimulant found in coffee, tea and cola. It results in increased alertness and wakefulness, faster and clearer flow of thought, increased focus, and better general body coordination. It also results in restlessness, a loss of fine motor control, headaches, and dizziness. In greater quantities, iot leads to insomnia, agitation, tremors, and rapid breathing begin to appear. Caffeine stimulates the heart, dilates the vessels (increasing blood pressure), causes bronchial relaxation (can be used as an antiasthmatic drug), increases gastric acid production, and boosts the metabolic rate.
So, put them all together. Adrenaline, nicotine and caffeine. Kind of makes you feel that you're Superman.
So, start smoking, taking coffee, and lots of good fun. Realise the Superman in you.Labels: adrenaline, bad habits, caffeine, nicotine, superman

My Bike.
I lost my keys.
I broke my ignition lock.
I hot started my bike.
I took nearly 2 hours last night.
And I was fucking happy. No, I was damn ecstatic.
I became McGyver for 2 hours last night.
All it needed was a broken pair of scissors, and a needle. And voila!
Then today, I decided to *cure* the had work by installign a switch. A bad idea? I don't know. We shall see..
Probly tomorrow or Tuesday, I'm gonna replace the keys... We shall see.
Haiz.. The Hari Raya present from the Government all spent on absolutely intangible things. And I haven't even included the Hari Raya packet Bonus from everyone else. But I think that's been spent too. On petrol, and smokes.
*dig deep adi, dig deep*
