THE ENCOUNTER AND THE LESSON

It was a funny thing about judging someone by the looks alone. i was thoroughly shocked just that day when ffound out something so unsuspecting about a friend of mine. a nice fella whom insisted in buying me tissue papers when i scraped my left leg, just a little bit when riding his bike. it was my fault actually, being so clumsy. with innocent looks and voice tone, i had always thought him to be a junior as he is 3 years younger than i am. yet the thing that i hated most came to me that fateful day.

i was in that situation where i had to reconsider my values again and 'restructure' my perception of my 'actually more mature friend' junior and of my ownself. phew, i had surrounded myself with good people and thus learn from this encounter.

isin't is always annoying to have to change perceptions of ourselves and others? however i had judged and concluded it in my own ways..... and it proved too early.

The Right Wait

Every day, one inevitable yet can do without activity comes to us.... the act of waiting. Even when switching on this computer, i have to wait 3 minutes for it to load completely.

What strikes me is the much time wasted whenever we do this activity... time that is innocently lost. We wait for ourselves and most annoyigly, others.

From young, we waited for our parents or caretakers to take care of our every single needs. Then, there was the irritating adolescent periods of our lives where we wait, almost zealously and impatiently for our body to grow up. To the desirable adult form. Many of my friends kept wondering when will they start to get taller, stronger and leaner after shedding those baby fat.

Sadly, at the back of their mind, they know that they will have to wait.... to wait for their body to keep up with what they want to become.

I had become accustomed with the act of waiting myself quite frankly. I waited 45 minutes just to consult a doctor for less than 5 minutes. Then, i waited another 1 hour for my prescription to come. An act that requires no more than 15 minutes had 1 and a half hour wasted.

The requirements of wait is demanding, yet with good time management, much could be achieved if the waiting time allows.

As for those friends who arrive 10 minutes late always, they should have known better.

Road Trip

Accident on the Highway

It was a normal day with traffic jams and a little dizzle. My brother was driving me and Ponty to Plaza Semanggi (right beside Thr Aston) for a little retail. On our way, across the highway, we drove past this scene. A real huge truck had toppled. Hmmm, must be the slippery road and the unbalanced truck in a high way that is quite narrow. Sadly, i learnt afterwards that the driver of the truck had died.

Then, the road cleared and after taking some pictures with my mobile, we left the scene and arrived in Plaza Semanggi. I love Plaza Semanggi. A new mall that i would give a class B+ is really cute as it had lots of little booths that sells those small and adorable keychain that may come across cheap but if you buy a couple, it really cost quite alot. Ponty picked up a pants and some Naruto keychain. There are also alot of resto in Plaza Semanggi, note the Duck King. It was a pleasant trip indeed.

We had to fetch my eldest brother's girlfriend from work and drop her to the orthodontist after Plaza Semanggi. She works at Standard Charted in Mega Mall. Mega Mall is a place close to my heart as i was there every single day a few years ago. My dad had a resto there before. A class B- mall that had the Mega Mall Supermarket and Carrefour. I love this mall for the pet shop and i saw the most gorgous Chow-Chow there. White and big. I also saw this Chihuahua that is from a champion breed. It is brown and really small.... a little more expensive than the white one beside it. The shape of it is so mush nicer than the white chihuahua (which is also expensive since it's coat colour is the rare solid white).

After that, we head to Celebrity Fitness for some gym session. We had been hitting the gym for a few days now together with Christanto aka Crimex. Celebrity Fitness is located in Puri Indah Mall, a class B- mall which had Carrefour and Hero. Puri Indah is a housing complex that is near my place =D. Realising that we were late for RPM or the Power Cycle class, we decided to do some equipment before heading the Sauna. WE LOVE THE SAUNA. Really relaxing...

Then, it was home sweet home, what a day... and i slept well.
