I wake up in your arms, I could feel the warmth of your body under the sheets.
Cool gloomy morning with a little drizzle. The sky wept. So did our hearts but we have to part.
I look into your eyes and wondered why did our paths crossed. Wasn't it supposed to be just plain touch and go fun? Why does it have to come to this ... again? Zero passion in my own backyard for 35 years, but it is just so easy to hit the jackpot elsewhere ... So here we are, in this charming city of Hanoi that you found me, and I you.
It is night again now, and my heart is still weeping, my dear Huynh.

Ergonomic Hazard
I've been getting recurrent stiff neck and backache since June last year. But this latest one lasted for more a month! That perpetual ache on my upper back, the throbbing sore shoulder muscles and stiff neck is really taking its toll on me. I only got a temporary respite for a couple of days while holidaying in HK.
Looking back, the shoulder, back and neck problems seem to coincide with the time I commenced using a notebook in the office. I've just changed back to an ancient Windows ME (yah... you wouldn't believe we still have units that run on ME and 98!) desktop computer yesterday.... I hope it is because of the computer not because of sitting down too long or something else!
Due to these problems, I haven't lifted weights for a very long time now. And massage has not helped much.
Urgh!

Cruisy Police
Baru 3rd day of New Year and already so drama!
So I was cruising along Jln Tun Razak yesterday evening, missed a turning and decided to do an illegal cut across to a service road, and then I got cruised back by the traffic police. Ish!
Since the police cruised me, I have to stop lo. I could almost see RM300 flying away to pay the saman. I never, ok la .. ahem.... rarely, flout the traffic law one kay. But I got caught this time.
A smartly dressed policeman walked up to my car and politely told me of my offence. Hmmm... there's just something about men in uniform....
Sinner: Oh ye ke.... baru tukar ke? Dulu boleh belok masuk kan? (pretend)
Policeman: Papan tanda ada beritahu tak boleh masuk... sejak November 2007. Sudah 2 tahun! Bagi IC and lesen. (Ok, yes, it's been 2 years and I lied that I didn't know about it. Another sin!)
Sinner: Oh, maaf Encik. Jadi macam mana ah? (Feeling guilty of lying and gave my IC and driver's license)
Policeman: Kena saman la. Macam mana? You boleh bayar?
Sinner: Har? Mesti mau saman ke? (My hard earned money! Gosh!)
Policeman: Apa pekerjaan you?
Sinner: Kerja di PJ la... kerja ofis (what has my occupation got to do with this offence? but ooo... he looks cute)
Policeman: Jadi macam mana? Gaji cukup boleh bayar saman ke?
Policeman asked me to wait and walked away to talk on his phone for a moment.
Policeman: I nak tulis ni. You sudah kahwin?
Sinner: Belum. Kenapa?
Policeman: Ni... IC tahun 74, belum kahwin lagi? (friendly smile)
Sinner: Haha... belum la, tak laku ma! (he's so cute teasing me, my voice becoming manja liao)
Policeman: Ye ke, tak laku meh? Macam mana boleh tak laku? Boleh bayar (smiling)
saman ke?
Sinner: Berapa saman? (Ooo... he's got a nice bulge too... just half a meter away... my gaze lingered there a little longer than it should)
Policeman: Dua ratus.
Sinner: Kalau nak bayar, memang boleh. (Tapi kalau nak hisap pun boleh)
Sinner: Tapi, kalau boleh, encik jangan lah saman. (smiling, but still nervous, my voice getting even more manja now)
Sinner: I memang tak biasa kena saman. Sejak I mula pandu, tak pernah langgar undang-undang. Satu kali saman pun belum. (oh god he's hot!)
Policeman: haha! Jadi yang ini lah you punya kali pertama!
Sinner: Ye.... tapi kalau boleh... satu kali pun tak nak!
Policeman: Kereta ni belum pernah kena saman?
Sinner: Belum (Oh, did he just checked out my traffic offence status when he put me on hold a moment ago?)
Policeman: Ok la. Bagi you IC balik. You nampaknye orang baik-baik. Tapi jangan buat salah itu lagi, ok? (smiling)
Sinner: Oh terima kasih! (smiling ... slurrrp!)

Signs
Haiyu, I tell you ... spooky ... in less than 24 hours on New Year's Day, on two separate occasions, Fable and I witnessed the side mirrors of a car and a motorbike kena hit and dropped off. Is it a sign to say "be careful ... be on guard for backstabbers or unfortunate events"? Choi! It's not my side mirror la, but still!
And then hor, I went to KLCC to park car 3 times in the past 5 days, and every single time, I got the exact same parking spot. Almost as if it's reserved for me ... vacant ... just waiting for me to come and park! Not that I'm complaining or anything cos it's very near the escalator, but still!
Nah, here's my favourite Justin Timberlake song (see I'm not really stuck in the 80s tau!), also a track in BJ35. Me likey.

Flashback and Forward
Happy New Year 2010!
Well, apart from a very recent disappointing event and what seemed like a perpetual neckache, shoulder ache and backache throughout the 2nd half of the year, 2009 wasn't too bad at all. I had two very enjoyable, relaxing and camwhoring trips to Hanoi and Jogja/Boro/Pramb with my lovely sistas. And I had my first but brief love affair while in Singapore, and of course a few naughty encounters. Haha!
I have met so many new people this year as well, probably more than 25 - a record for me - mostly bloggers and readers. I usually rather shy and passive one, but it's all because of friends introducing me to their friends lah. Of course, there were Jaslene's blogger friends early in Jan for that January Soldier's birthday party, and then another group of bloggers via Fable on the very last night of the year itself! Sometime in March, I met up two sinful and sexy bloggers from Singapore! And a Filipino reader sometime in September. I realized I like meeting new people. Hope it wouldn't be just a one-time meet-up.... but become long-time friends.
After many, many years of staying away from the city and all the crowded but happening places for Xmas and NY countdown, it was time to make my way back to see and be seen again, and to be part of the celebration. And what better way to spend the night with close friends, and new friends as well. :)
It did seem like it's snowing at Pavilion on Christmas Eve.
Vicious snowspray, or rather foamspray at Bukit Bintang on Christmas Eve. Tricia and Eva got some of the worst hairsprays among the 4 of us. Can wash hair liao with all the foam! Wakaka!
At KLCC with Fable and the gang of new blogger friends. I have not seen so many people in my life!
