July last year I wrote about regretting for not going to BSB concert
Well, guess what???
I’m going this year baby!!!!! and double slam wham bam… the BSB concert in Belgium is on my birthday!!! Swweeettttt….
Being a fan of BSB on Facebook really paid off.. so that is something good coming out of Facebook! hehehe
I saw their posting about announcing European tour dates and I straight went on the ticketonline website and bought the tix..
And gues what?!!! triple slam wham baammm…. there will be 5 of us! yes we are more than BSB themselves hahahaha… yipppiiee yaayyy!!!
Now I’m waiting for their new album to come out
This week witness the lost of 2 important celebrities. They are icons in their own ways.
Farah Fawcett, known as one of the angels in Charlie’s angels. I remember her when I was young seeing her face in the magazines and most importantly in hairsalons. I think she made layered hair famous.
As for Michael Jackson, king of pop… in a special way, he managed to capture everyone’s heart.
I remember dancing to Beat It and Thriller with my brother and sister. It’s so funny to think of it. I think I was only 10 years old or so, and I like his songs. However, I don’t think that I am his big fan. But then, I danced to Beat it and Thriller when I was a kid, I loved You are Not Alone, I participated in a school choir singing We are the World and I just danced to Billie Jean last week in Vienna!
Above all, I am happy that my heart decided to go downtown to the Sydney Opera House where Michael Jackson made an appearance. It was amazing!
I ran again after work today. Something wierd happened… Someone wanted to hi5 me. Whadeheelll… But it is good I think because it is not easy to run around one of the famous lake in Brussels. You have people passing by, picnic-ing, traffics. So you are either very healthy or like me, just wear my thick skin and run! So I think joggers supporting each other is an energy booster.
So hi5 back to ya!
Brussels is a city of jogging. Everywhere you go in Brussels, you will encounter a jogger. I don’t know what inspire these people to jog. Is it a belgian thing? or just in Brussels? Anyway, after 5 months living in Brussels, I finally get over the “shyness” to run. Yes, today I jog. Honestly, I don’t know what to call the thing that I did. It is more like small jog. I won’t say run because I am far off from running. It is like I am lifting my feet and stay at the same spot! I started off jogging around the lake. By almost 2 rounds of the lake and merely 10 minutes, I’m kaput. I think my face is all red and I wouldn’t surprise if someone approach me and tell me I need to stop coz I look like I’m going to faint LOL
Then I walked back, then get the urge to run a big more. So I went around a block…twice, mind you. Then I’ve completed 1hr of exercise.
I don’t know in what state my body will be tomorrow. Hope that it is not too shocked. I wish I could run again tomorrow. I had my iphone on me. Good musics motivates you to move along…
Hope for the best….
This is a saying in french that means everyone has his/her place in the world/soceity/community/Universe. People often ask me how I managed to live in a foreignland, and not in Malaysia where I was born. How I survive the long winters, the language, the food and so on… My reply is simple: Everyone has his/her place, and I am where I feel I belong to. I am not saying that I don’t remember my root. Remembering/cherishing your root is different from living your life. You can be an African living in Greenland, or in my case an Asian living in Europe. I am not saying I am unique. My brothers and sisters are the living proof that this thing happened all the time. I have friends who are on the same boat as I am. Then au contraire, there are people who just want to live in the cocoon of their own roots. There is nothing strange there. I won’t ask those people to go out and experience different things, because that is not what they want. Let it be…
My first experience in this is when I was finishing highschool and I was eager to futher my studies overseas. But then there is a schoolmate, who received more and better offer than I did, and she refused all the offers and said that she wants to further her study locally. At first I was dumbstruck by how stupid she was. But then as I have been to other countries, I could see some of my comrades failed the foreign surviving tests. As for myself, the moment I stepped on the foreign land the first time, I grew a set of wings! These wings had been progressively growing, and I am proud of it
Sometimes it is funny to see people just can’t survive, but on the other hand, I can’t survive the system back in my home country!!
So as I said, chacun sa place… You just have to find your place and be in joy
Peace.
I was thiiiiiiss close to reach the American soil. Damm you swine flu!!!!!
I don’t how bad it is now with the swine flu since I did not really watch news or follow any news as a matter of fact. But it really affects me big time. Ggrrr
I suppose to go to this meeting in Chicago this week. But it was cancelled at the very last minute. Like a day before I take the flight. Seriously how close I was? huhuhuhu
Even Josh was there (last week though) but hey.. he posted vidblog from Chicago! huhuhu (see josh blog link at the side) I managed to cancel my hotel, my train tix with no fees but for the flight it has 50 euros cancellation fee. Which it is not me who has to pay it hahahaha
Anyway, I should go to work tomorrow like any other day, like normal Monday. Again… damm you swine flu!!!!!
Should I see this as a way of saving my life? Or are we scared out of nothing? Am I like skipping death? hahaha ok I am going over board.
Without noticing, I am actually looking forward to be on the American soil again. Last time was 10 yrs ago mind you. Really…. 10 years???? Shit! What was I like 10 years ago? Younger for sure hahahaha… but I must have been stupid, NOT.. Naive, Maybe… Excited, Definitely. Geez.. as far as I know I feel the same now as I was 10 years ago. Is that good or bad? hmmm
Anyhoo… I don’t think that the meeting will be re-scheduled any day now. The client told me that for North America we might have to settle with vid conference. Can you imagine what the organisers and the hotel feel? They could have a big meeting with 100+ room booked, and now they are down to zero!! Damm!! And I thought I am the most frust person in this story. NOT. OK that makes me feel a little bit better. Misery loves company. So deal with it.
I’m all Visa and nowhere to go. Sux!
Guess I look forward for the meeting in Vienna. Sigh.
Looking at the bright side.. I avoid risk of getting the flu, I could manage my projects that are in crucial time this week.
Hope for sunny warmer day. Chicago can see me next time.
and soon shall be Spring cleaning.
So, what am I going to whine about this time.. argghh I keep on forgetting to snap picture of the smoothie I made. I need to update my kitchen blog too…
There are so many things going on and to do that I almost loose my head (and my brain and my patience). Just have to keep things rolling and rolling and going. Most importantly is to keep myself intact! That is a bit hard, but I’ll try.
I still have the boxes in the living room since the first day I moved in the apartment. Seriously I just don’t have the courage to do them.
Been to the US embassy for my US visa, but then I kinda forgot to ask the guy when I should expect to get back my passport with the visa. Dammit! So I hafta call them I suppose.
And where am I going? To Chicago.. yes the Windy City. I will blog on that when I have my visa and passport back in time *gulp*
Nope I still do not have my resident card. Which reminds me to call the commune to reschedule my appointment. tra la la…
Job? It’s getting tougher now that I suppose to have the whole control of the projects. I keep on reminding myself that this is what I’m looking for. To manage projects. I am just 2 months, and I have a lot to learn. I just hope that I do not let go all the good experience that I had before. Things that when you say that you will do it if you’ve been given opportunity. I have to think of the bigger picture, of what this experience might bring me to.
Entertainment? Not much as I am on a tight budget. Though I wish to go to the cinema, and also to do some shoppings!! huhuhuhu
Anyway, I’m happy as long as I managed to keep my head and body together. hahaha
