'Dinner Afterwork' by Seh Hui

In one way, I pretty much have settled down and have my lifestyle shifting gears down to a more relaxing pace: something that I personally enjoyed a lot. Despite not having its own annoyances (found myself in a pretty shocking surprise on the second day of Eid/Hari Raya that virtually no eateries was open around the area that I stayed at. Only consolation that there’s always 7-Eleven with its ready stock of overpriced cup noddles :p), I’m pretty satisfied being in such a seemingly desolated high-tech suburb.

These days have observed my brain going on an overdrive as I pored deeply into information sources both at home and work. Having just set up my ideal working environment, I’m pretty much putting a lot of effort studying code and jotting down notes …

'Silver Lining Among Gloom' by Seh Hui

…しっかりして…ね?”

All the while I have been able to respond to others that “I’m OK, I’m already used to it.” when being asked that question, and later ending the sentence with “Besides, I always have ways to entertain myself.”

Then just recently, this feeling all came back to me again, as if I revisited something that I have long forgotten.

“自己一个人不会闷吗?” (“Aren’t you bored being alone?”) was the question. That’s the Chinese way of asking do you feel lonely.


It has been a month I have moved out to live on my own. Surprisingly life has been pretty pleasant, having my own room in an apartment with a nice night view that looks out towards rows of trees along the main road next to MMU, and being able to see …

Today’s Drifting Thoughts: Trying Again

'Driving Towards' by Seh Hui

Be careful to what you wish for, and make sure you notice any red flags when it seemingly becoming true.”

Seriously that’s not being paranoid but realistic, in fact I’m not implying that we should avoid mistakes but to actually look out and be prepared to whatever that lies ahead.

The other day I had a slight chat with Hui Ying, which goes like this (I only summarized my part of dialogue, since I think that’s the meat of the conversation):

Personally I’d say that just do whatever you feel is right, despite the fact that I’d testify that it’s easier said than done. Either way, fear only gets real when you perceive to be so, (therefore) personally I would say that developing personal courage is one of the …

'Closing In' by Seh Hui

It’s been close to a month now, lots had happened even though none was being mentioned: Coming back from Sabah, immersing into a completely new environment at Cyberjaya, shifted to a new office on the fifth day of work, attending my best friend’s wedding…

Yet it seemed that I can’t seem to find something to say. ^^||

Guess the intent of this post is just to say hi to those who are following this :p.

In other news, I sort of working on a few experiments in life, which includes adjusting my sleeping patterns (trying to sleep at 10:30 - 11:00pm nowadays) and reducing my Internet and computer usage. Probably will post thoughts about this one day.

'A New Dawn' by Seh Hui

After coming back from Sabah two days ago, I moved into Cyberjaya the next day (Plug: thanks for Theen Gee for the help :). Eight hours from now I’ll be reporting into my new office, so it’s sort of like a D-day for me, after all the anxiety, excitement and overwhelming emotions: A completely new environment, complete different set of people to interact with and a completely different ballgame to be in.

The days being in E-Genting R&D seemed so near yet so far away after a complete nine-days absence from all the hustle and bustle there. Not particular sure whether is it due to the distance, all of a sudden everything that I used to know years ago seemed to foreign to me and same goes to what I’m feeling now …

Warming myself up to new challenges

'Realities in Life'

As life slowly transitioning to the next phase, new variables will be introduced while some will be eliminated. And sometimes, you just have to accept the fact that there’s challenges that you have to face at one point or the other.

In my case, I’m currently finding myself warming myself to the idea of driving and taking up a car loan to get my first car. Which, to most, is one of the most ecstatic experience you can get in life. To me… let’s just say that I’m overwhelmed, for the opposite reasons.

To be very frank, I dread driving - heck, it seemed set in my mind for quite a long time that the worst way to die is to die in a car accident. Inhumane torture would be even scarier …

'Vacate Notice' by Seh Hui

For some reasons I just felt that these few month, the more major events for the year in my life have uncanny timings and coincidences.

As time starts ticking away and I’m counting down towards a complete change of environment, the major concern for the people around me was either my career decision or, should I stay firm with my decision to make the switch, where would I be staying. At that time I was still considering to stay put and commute to Cyberjaya, which will take me about two hours per trip. By all means whomever concerned was indeed concern about the duration of the journey, by all means four hours of commute per day was indeed excessive.

And now with this… I think I was left with no choice ^^||||.

With such a …

'Where's My Phone…?' by Seh Hui

For some reasons my brain cells seemed to dropping today ^^||.

I sort of find myself in a situation of noticing my phone was not in my pocket hours after I was outdoors… it’s only until I dig into my pocket that I realized that. Then I was like… hmm… is it another theft/lost case or that I had become absent-minded today. ^^|| Then I sort of dig into my brain and vaguely (and not really sure, actually) remembered that I didn’t bring my phone with me.

Sure enough that it was on my computer desk when I reached home.

Phew…

with limited sight, one can only have faith and work his way towards his vision”

Once upon a time, I felt completely in a loss of direction in life — and that marked the beginning of my journey, where “In Hues of Blue” was all started from. Throughout the four years which I religiously marked my journey, the world seemed to slowly unfold of me: presenting me with a new world of challenges and opportunities beyond my small gray universe.

Four years has since passed, to think that how much I have progressed since then… all of a sudden all these feelings that I experienced before gushed back into me again.

When I thought I have grown up, more often than not there’ll be experiences which would …

'A Fresh Life' by Seh Hui

Finally, some green on my table! 😄

Just got this potted mother-in-law’s tongue from my parents after hearing about it’s air purifying properties (apparently it’s true based on Wikipedia stating a NASA study). Actually I got two of them, with one intended to be placed on my office desk. But considering that I’m switching jobs, I left it back home for my mom to cultivate another pot of it.

Am sort of thinking that it’d be nice (and pretty) to have a mini-aquarium by it’s side. 😊
