I am blessed
Due to an unfortunate miscalculation of how fucked up money grubbing drivers can be, my colleagues and I were left stranded in downtown Los Angeles.
Our hotel is in Torrance.
If anyone should know anything about LA, is that everyone drives. Public transportation is practically unheard of, except for local bus services. There’s no subway, cabs are hard to hail if you’re walking on the streets randomly.
So there we are, royally fucked. No car, no driver.
But thankfully, I met some of the nicest strangers I have ever came across in my life.
The nice lady (I think she’s Japanese) working at guest services in Beverly Center, gave us a detailed printout of the buses we have to take, the bus stop we have to take it at, what time the bus arrives and reaches its destination and the cost of it. She worked out our transfer time and pointed us to where we should take the first bus. All i was expecting was a verbal instructions.
She gave me a printout, highlighting the name of the bus and the time.
We headed out to look for the bus stop, it is not like Singapore where there’s a definite indication that the place you’re standing at is a bus stop. Sometimes it’s just a bench, with an obscure sign saying “bus stop” hanging off somewhere and it’s the size of an A4 folder.
There were these ladies who were trying to help us locate the exact stop to go to, and when they cldn’t, directed us to Sofitel where there’s definitely a Concierge who can help us.
The receptionist at Sofitel went to get a map for us even though we weren’t even the guests at the hotel. And even brought us out of the hotel and pointed us to the direction we should be headed to.
The bus driver, whom despite her bad day at work probably, told us when our stop is near.
I am extremely grateful to these strangers I’ve met today and all in a span of a few hours, I am blessed and overwhelmed.
Thank you very much.

What I’ve been busy with
Hi guys,
So you might’ve thought I was dead (once again…) unfortunately I’m not.
I’ve been busy with another project collaboration with my BFF and it is finally coming along.
I present to you:
Please give it your support as you have done so for this one.
I’m very sorry I have been neglecting this blog as the layout has been getting on my nerves for the longest time. The comments STILL don’t work and it is annoying the shit out of me.
do leave us a kind note. 
ILU all~

Left 4 Dead.
Okay, so you may have noticed my disappearance…. and also that zombie bumper sticker on the right sidebar.
I did not get kidnapped by zombies.
But still, I recently discovered the joys of first person shooter game (fps usually means frames per second to me I’m sorry) and have been playing with my dear friends.
In any case, I am going to the LAN shop to play today.
If you see a bunch of people with the weirdest usernames, it should be us.

The Anti-technophiles
I am very bothered by people in this time and age who are technologically handicapped (granted not our parents who might not even own an email address.)
But people like you and I who have been on computers since the Internet boom.
I’m not speaking about how they should’ve been able to code C++ or speak binary by now. But by the simplest questions like:
“How do I set up a blog?”
“How do I use Bittorrent? What is it?”
I mean, I’m not the guru of the Internet, but information is presented to you online. You just have to search for it. Asking someone else you know doesn’t exactly help so just do us all a favor and just fucking GOOGLE it.
The level of intelligence by someone in the day and age is no longer largely dependent on genetics or wealth, but by you sheer willingness and determination to seek information when a problem is being presented to you.
So next time you have a fucking question, don’t ask me. Do me a favor and fucking Google it.
PS: unless it is personal.

strange dreams.
I had murderous thoughts in my dream.
I wanted my dad dead cause he pissed me off. The broken marriage between him and my mum has never bothered me much. He’s never done anything personal to me except not being there… and well, hurting the person I love the most. It was a weird feeling growing up without a dad, only those in my shoes would understand me fully so don’t fucking judge me.
It felt weird. I haven’t even seen him in a while.

little things
I took a moment, to enjoy a view from outside my door.
I took in the last moments of sunset and savored the aroma from my neighbor’s dinner.
Peace.

Random rants
I don’t get my mum.
She tells me not to spend too much money on bags and shoes and clothes…..and try to save money.
….the next minute she tells me that there’s this nice bag from Coach that her friend has.
So does it mean I shouldn’t spend money on my -own- bags and shoes and clothes. Instead I should spend them on her?
Women are so confusing~!!!
I got chided for buying toy cameras~!!!

Slumdog Millionaire.
After having the movie file since the Golden Globes, I actually have not watched it until today while I was on the plane.
There is a reason why it swept 8 oscars.
It’s been long since a movie with a lesser known cast far outshines the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. Such is the power of a story so moving and so real it chills you to the bones.
Relating to children operating in syndicates, it is not something that has been conjured out of thin air. There are people like that and it is -still- happening.
I’ve seen children in Mumbai begging for money using the [e x a c t] same methods as those portrayed in the movie. I’m saddened and horrified. I hope this movie sheds some light on the situations in India.
And oh, about Dev Patel. It is amazing how his acting has matured since Skins. I am actually not really used to him being “Jamal”, I prefer him as “Anwar”.
Enough said. GO watch the movie already.
