If only carrot can run…

Y’day evening called J, whom I met on Monday morning on the way to work. We both boarded the same bus and soon after we landed, she asked me where she could wait for bus after work. I gave her a few alternatives and promised her that I’ll show her the shortcut to a bus stop.

So, y’day I called her around 6.30pm, whether she wants to join me to the bus stop. She and me met after 15 minutes. So, both of us, hardly know each other, walking towards the bus stop, in a drizzling rain, sharing a blue umbrella. So, we started to talk and getting to know each other.

It was a shock for me to find that she’s married. But it wasn’t as shocking as finding out that the small Indian lady (well, slightly bigger than me of coz), already have 3 kids! The eldest was already 7 years old! And before this I thought we could hang out together like what I did with MJ whom I met by the same way too. Anyhow, I did enjoy the conversation with her and hope to see her again~

I have to make an important decision in a very short time. The final programmer found a job and will leave by end of this month.

The new programmer changed his mind and won’t be coming at all. So, by end of the month, I’ll be the only one in the KL office. Everyone will leave by end of this month.

My boss got to know about this today too. So, she gave me two choices. Either I go to work in S’pore office for short term (3 to 6 months) or long term. I have to go by next week if possible.

She’s even talking about moving my things to S’pore and where shall I stay. I just can’t think straight now.

Persimmons, the bright orange fruit that seems to be way cheaper nowadays as it is available abundantly. I remembered it was quite expensive some times ago.

I love the firm crunchy texture and the taste of persimmon and I found that there is many great benefits from eating this colorful fruit. As it contains twice as much fiber than apple, it has positive effect on the cholesterol level with the soluble and insoluble dietary fibers. It also contains antioxidants such as carotenoids and polyphenols which may also affect fat metabolism.

Persimmons are also good for your heart as it reduce the risks of cardiovascular disease such as heart disease and stroke.

Besides that, the fruit also is a good source of sodium, potassium, magnesium, manganese and iron, vitamin A and C, good for your lung, relieve diarrhea, treat hypertension, senile asthma and cough with mucus.

Elton John sang ‘Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Words’.

AZ Yet sang ‘Hard To Say I’m Sorry’.

But I think the hardest word to say is GoodBye. It makes me turned & tossed at night till 2am in the morning.

I am still dreading it but it will have to come out eventually. The process of making a decision is the toughest.

But when a decision is made, you can feel your heart is light and the sunshine is bright~

After a few late nights, I finally felt so tired so I decided to call it a night by 9.41pm y’day.

I switched off the light and my handphone. This time it didnt take me long to doze off. As usual, I had a string of dreams before my alarm rang off this morning. I woke up, feeling more tired than before I slept!

Now, I felt that my head is oh-so-heavy and my eyes are puffy and dark. What happened? I am just trying to pay off my sleep-debt.

Taking my daily coffee now & hoping the dark clouds that hover over me now will go away soon~
