Driving on the Highway - Dilemma

Imagine.. you are driving along a long long long looooooong highway. You wanna get to your destination pretty much badly.


You have no idea when and where will it end, will your petrol last, if there's any petrol kiosk along the way.

Basically you have just started out on your first leg of the journey. Will you turn back before you get stranded in the middle of the highway? Or just try to make your way there, hoping the journey will be short, your petrol is sufficient and/or there's petrol kiosk?

I don't know if I'm game enough to be gamble on it.. shucks....

Crossroads and Deserts

Heard of the theory of parallel worlds? A mirror world is created whenever you have to make a decision - 1 world with you choosing A, and another world with you choosing B. This thing actually has been showed in many movies like "Butterfly Effect". But will thing eventually end up in the same spot like in "Sliding Doors"? Anyway, this has no link with my main topic. LOL!


Bumping into crossroads in life is pretty common. You come from 1 direction, you can choose to move in any of the other directions or even choose to turn back and turn to retrace back to the previous crossroad. At least @ a crossroad, you know where you are and you know there are directions for you to choose from. It's just a matter of do you know where you wanna go and is that a right route.

But currently, I think I'm like in the midst of a desert. In all directions you don't see anything in sight. And you don't know where to go next. Sucks... How did I even get ended up here in the first place? Where should I go?

I don't know.... The dynamic of my life is getting slightly messed up recently. Shucks...

Guava

When you eat guava, do you dip/soak it with the sour plum powder?


For me, I don't. Guava actually taste sweet and nice without the powder, unless it's not ripe yet. Furthermore, the powder contains sugar and salt. No no no...

In fact, I'm chewing on it now. =D I'm being random here.... While chewing, I start to wonder why many people say guava is good for health. So I went to google on it a bit. Found out it has a lot of many benefits! One of such is that guava actually has more vitamin C than orange! Well, that is if you eat it with the skin. The guava skin contains a lot of vitamin C. It has also other benefits to stuff like prolong menses, obesity, constipation, etc.

Anyway, I'll just do some copy pasting here.

KL Work Trip 23-25 Feb 2010

Last week went for a KL work trip. It was a last minute thingy. Well, work here is dynamic. Not the first time like that already, informing just the day before flying. Used to it. Monday morning informed me flying the next day, and next morning off to KL.

I refused to bring office laptop, so I brought my own laptop. And guess what? That morning when waiting for the boarding gate to open, I tried powering up my laptop. It's not working anymore! SPOILT!!! I brought a big and heavy paperweight to KL. Nice.....

Details of my work cannot be discussed. If I tell you, I'll have to kill you!

As usual again, during normal operation time, I had little things to do. Then evening came and as I waiting for them to prepare some stuff for me, I decided to do something "constructive".

Not bad.. Work ends at 8+pm. It's a good sign. While walking out, I saw this office @ the entrance. That's Pam's company! Okay, nothing else.

Hot Dog + Curly Fries + Root Beer Float!

The service there quite slow. The counters not very efficient. Not their fault, it's the flow of operation. Sucks.

Breakfast @ the cafe just @ the ground floor of the office building, T-Break. Their pie is very nice, but they didn't have it that morning. Don't know why. So I had their special-dunno-what-omelette. It's nice too.
