News of the day!

It's 6 o'clock now. As usual, sitting in front of the PC, in office. Had a bad arm since yesterday, probably for lifting some heavy files few days back.. 6 more days to go and well, lots of things in my mind. A round-up of some events today:

American Idol 5: as expected, Taylor Hicks is the winner. Some said he's not talented enough to deserve it, but seriously, he standouts from the start of the season. He left an impact on everyone that follows the show, and I've only seen him thrice. Perhaps, it's unexpected after the favourites were voted out.. Many felt unjusticed for Chris Doughtry, but hey, it's ur decision, ain't it? And now, the more important thing is what does Taylor Hicks got for his "Soul Patrol" (his ultimate fans)? That, we'll have to see.

FIFA World Cup 2006: Friendly matches results:
Ecuador vs. Colombia: 1-1
Australia vs. Greece: 1-0 (half-time), interesting match to watch. Let's see how does Australia fare in international matches, and in this match with Greece, the champions of EURO 2004. Ahhh.....15 days to World Cup.. Good that I'm back at home.

Electricity up by 12%: Another price hike?! First gas, than poultry, and now electricity. Thought PM said there wouldn't be any price hike few days back.. Talk about uncertainties.. Maybe we should resume to candles and matchsticks again. Seems that everythings is going up, except our salary. Sad day for Malaysians..

KLCI: Another dip of 3.78 to 923.97 points at closing. What the hell do I care about composite index? All I'm concerned right now is how prone people are to stress nowadays, after losing money, lots of it in the share market. There'll be a big hike in mental illness' cases i presumed. India, has been cautious and aware of the possibility of a rise in suicide cases after the big drop in their sharemarket. I think, Malaysians should be more aware of this too...

So, that's pretty much of what I've read today. It's certainly covers up the current issue, economy, sports and entertainment. Hey, I didn't realize that!

And as Patrick Teoh said in his blog (Comedy tragedy, and everything else in between), reading newspaper nowadays has been such fun. It's full of mysteries and entertainment (in a sarcastic way), way better that TV shows.. A good one there..

Why Germany? It seems that they are lacking in something, couldn't put it which aspect though. They'll be in semis, but winning it? Not so sure about it..

My Donkey

Remember the annoying, big mouthed yet good in nature Donkey in Shrek and Shrek 2? Can you remember any friends that resembles the Donkey? And seriously, I DO NOT MEAN PHYSICALLY!!! Recently, I've come to realized that there are lots of " Donkeys " in my life. Don't feel offended if I'm referring anyone as a donkey, coz do put in mind that at the same time, I'm an Ogre too. Yep, it's funny how some friends tend to annoyed us so much that we would like to tell them to shut their mouth sometimes! They will keep on going just to keep us annoyed even you've give out all the possible signals and hints that you're really not in the mood to join in their play. But their patience is somewhat last for eternity. They'll follow you around just to keep you in their watching distance. Although some may not resembled the loud Donkey in Shrek, but they do have other ways to annoy you. I have this particular friend who were so choosy and annoying, and somet...

Whirlwind

It has been a whirlwind like for the past month. Had a depresive episode and anxiety attack last month, and still recovering from it. This is not the first time in depression, but it scares me alot compare to the last one some 12 years ago. I find myself gasping for air, reaching out for help, so that i can stay afloat in the midst of darkness and drowining. I remembered Kel alot during the past month or so.. the mental image of him lifeless, reminds me again and again, that I need to hang on in there, and put in effort to be alive. I am thankful to God in many ways, to give me the courage to walk out from this unscathed. Rather, I was given the chance to learn who I am as a person. I was exposed to my own shortcomings even when I refuse to see it, I was challenged to 'let go' to things and emotional burden that I have been carrying all this while. I spoke to more people in the past month then I ever spoke to in the year before. I knew I was desperate, and I needed to see and...

Anger Management

M   : Aunty Sharon, I am angry now.. Me : Why? What happened? M   : Daddy wanted to share my biscuits, I don't want to. Me : What should we do when we are angry? M   :....... Me : Let's breath, and count. M   : Ok Aunty Sharon.. Me : Breath, 1.... Breath... M   : 2... Breath, 3..... Breath 4....(chuckle) Me : Are you ok now? Are you still angry? M   : No, its funny! (Burst out laughing) 13 days in to Movement Control Order, I have spent a lot of time with Matia for the past 13 days. This little boy is turning 5 this year, struggled with some TV addiction, but he did so well today. From spending time playing on his own, painting, trying to read (even when he complains it is difficult), eating lunch by his own without leaving the table, taking in the vegetables which he usually manage to pick out with his tongue, and yes... anger management. We found that he was talking spitefully to both his parents on every small rejection...
