Tough Call

I wanted to post this earlier but it slipped my mind.
And no the situation is not related to my life in any way (important/necessary disclaimer lol).
I just like it for some reason.

In Grey's Anatomy S6 Ep 12 (I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked).
This conversation happened (somewhat abridged to highlight the relevant discussion at hand).

Christina: If you have to choose between the thing you love (surgery) and the person you love, which would you choose? you cannot have both. you have to choose. doing the procedure is the only thing that matters. like if you don't get to do it you'll die. that't what you have to give up.

Izzie: For what?

Christina, Alex, Meredith: Love

Meredith: Why?

Christina: You know you couldn't do it. you know you'd choose the procedure.

Meredith: Fine! if i had to choose, gun to my head, i would choose surgery.

Christina: Oh well thank you! its that so hard to say? i don't know why it's so bad to say that out loud.

Izzie: Because its crazy.

Christina: How?

Izzie: Its crazy. surgery. its just a job. its just a job. its a thing you come home from, not a thing you come home to, and if you lose your job, u get another one. cause there's always another one. but if you lose your love. if you think you're losing your love, then suddenly nothing else matters.

Alex: Love comes and goes. surgery doesn't.

I think its easy for most of us to choose the big L coz we're not head over heels with our job, unlike these characters in GA. But say all is well and rosy for us in the working world.. would you choose uncertainty over security? Just a thought.

First Time

Music: Widow Wake My Mind by Smashing Pumpkins.

Its 10am I'm supposed to be sleeping after night shift but here I am typing away.
I have some things to settle and phone calls to make.
Plus the grammy's showing on star world right now, live.
Anyway, still in the mood of posting pictures, I can't believe I forgot this one.
Its my first ever time being an emcee, at a wedding to boot!
Thanks Bon and Alin for trusting me.
I was happy to help out (last minute ok).
Although I was severely criticized by my friends.. hmmphhh!!
hmmm 3 posts in a day? that's a first.

nasib baik got script. but there were times when we had to speak impromptu.

tak cukup tidur.. that weekend got 1 nikah, 2 receptions, and work night shift.

Kevin my fellow partner in crime. So lucky he got the english parts. Aku kena cakap bm siap pantun2 semua.

New Ventures

I have a new project coming up.
Still a work in progress, a collaboration.
I don't know if its gonna work or not, just giving it a try for now.
If results are good, i'd be totally happy and busy..
But busy is not such a good thing for me coz I plan to do another thing soon that would probably take away more of my already scarce time during weekends due to work..
I hope it all works out.

My Mika phase has been over for a few weeks, but now I'm into another band called The Weepies...
Their latest album Hideaway is awesome!
A mixture of fun and melancholy.
Kinda suits my mood lately coz I've been having a lot of fun but at the back of my mind i can't stop thinking about this particular thing that's been making me sad for a while now.
So yeah, I'm digging The Weepies... but the band name is kinda funny.

After a month of waiting, finally the second song of Smashing Pumpkins's Teargarden by Kaleidyscope was released slight more than a week ago.
SP is doing this project, ok more like Billy Corgan... you must be thinking, what??? SP is still around? well i'm happy to say, yes they are! thankS god. although Corgan is the only remaining original member of the band, but so what. he's the voice and sound and life and soul of SP.
The one that matters.
So back on track, they're doing this project of releasing 44 songs progressively in a span of 3 years, which started end of last year.. all the songs will be free for download...
When all the songs are out, they will be compiled into 11 EPs of 4 songs each.. and the box set will be available for sale..
So far i reallly loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee the first 2 songs, Song for a Son and Widow Wake My Mind.
I can just drown in them.

Ok back to Cappie and friends.

Socially tired... can ah?

At work. Taking a break from watching Greek S3.
I feel like posting pictures.. so here are shots of some of my activities for the past 2 months...
