How often do you get the opportunity to forget your worries, cast all burdens aside and simply immerse yourself in the present, in the moment, and appreciate what you already have rather than worry about what you lack. Yesterday night was one such opportunity, and i'm glad i had it. Thanks to Roslan, Arzish, Frinn and especially Fatin for the precious few hours of escapism. Sometimes the simplest things are the most fulfilling. I guess pictures describe it better than words do.

I really suck at smoking shisha...always end up coughing alot of it out instead heh
Roslan likes his Malboro mediums better LOL
In contrast, the way Fatin smokes shisha is kinda entrancing
they look really good together
you know what this shot is about
really really nice shisha place
Today, in comparison, was like being brought down from heaven to hell. I don't want to ruin the mood. But i'm really sorry Roslan for not being able to join you tonight.
Thanks for the comments. I guess thats it for now, take care folks.

Occasionally i get inundated with a whole mass of thoughts which ultimately leave me suspended in a temporary state of bewilderment. I don't think its particularly good or bad, but it is certainly unsettling when you fail to comprehend your thoughts and resolve the issues which continue to linger and eat away at your once blissfully ignorant life.
Have you ever wished you could read a person's mind? What good would that serve though? Nothing would really come out of it. Neither would it make very much sense if it were possible. Despite being aware of this very fact, it still gets incredibly frustrating when attempting to interpret (without much success) a friend's feelings/thoughts. Sometimes i long to somehow just simply procure a cursory glace...just a peek...into that person's thoughts. The knowledge that that would be impossible and the lack of that ability will strive to plague your mind can be overwhelming.
It doesn't help that i am horrible at interpreting people's emotions. Being blunt has its benefits sometimes. Although it could be pretty damned dull.
I hate feeling like that. So incredibly vulnerable. Teetering on a fine line which threatens to push you over to the side you dread yet tasted several times before. A vicious cycle which never seems to end but only serves to embitter you, unable to purge past memories. So trivial it may seem, yet incredible tormenting it may be from time to time.

Work has been piling up alot lately. Normally i'd say "this will help me in the future why not just take it as a challenge" but i'm simply really irritated by certain things.
Anyway allow me to introduce two characters who make life at the station much more bearable. They'll probably crop up in other posts as well as i rant about work and/or play heh.
Roslan, Arzish and me
I had an eventful weekend though. Have a good one ahead folks.

101 Ways to Get Yourself Awake in the Morning
No. 12
Wake up at 6.45am in a zombie-like state, haul your lazy butt out of bed and make your way to the pool for morning training. It rained the night before, so you expect the water to be freezing and a long wearisome set ahead. Still feeling half-dead, you trudge to the poolside with your swim things with the cold morning air biting your skin. The coach motions you over after you've greeted him. He then says, "hey Jame, you're in Blue Team, swim 50 and 100 br". Jaw drops, eyes open wide, dream-like state is snapped. Wala, you're AWAKE.
Surprises can be good.
And public holidays.
