reading weekend!

i'm off this thursday! boss has declared free holiday in conjunction with hari raya on 10-11 sep (fri-sat). 4 days in a row. nice.

my big plan will be to rest at home. and bury my nose in nelson mandela's biography. the book is too heavy to be carried along to read in the train. will try to finish reading it within this 4 days. can i make it?

i have read 3 books (consecutively) about china, during Mao's era. started with falling leaves, then wild swan and then mao's last dancer. i like the last book the most. easy to read. not as heavy as wild swan.

My mid life crisis in Y2016

Y2016, I have decided to resign. After 14 years, I needed a break. It's not that I didn't like what I was doing, just that I would like to take a break. And just do nothing. Or maybe something... As I handed my resignation letter to my 2 bosses (ex now), both accepted it quite calmly. Only one was more surprised. But nevertheless, she accepted my reason for leaving. So, what reason did I give them? I told them my sisters & I were discussing of opening a yoga centre on our own. Since it's own business, there is no reason for them holding me back.

He even advised us to open in KL area as the return will be higher and we would have different exposure with different ...

came in early this morning. it has been awhile since i took the 642am train. taking the earlier train means have to wake up earlier! usually i take the 657am train. but for the past 1 week, the 657am train has been cancelled. for no reason! we have to wait for the next train which was scheduled at 712am. due to the cancellation, it means JAM PACK in the next train because the 657am crowd will be merging with the 712am crowd. imagine, i could not moved my hands to scratch my face. it was that packed! so, i have no option but to take the earlier train. my working hours starts at 830am. but it's good also lah. early means less crowd in ktm and also monorail. and it's cooler when i'm walking from kl sentral to monorail station. and i can enjoy my breakfast in the office :) friends asked me before, "no plan to buy a car? you can stand (endure) taking train everyday?"... my answer, "everyday i ' stand ' in the train to go to work (no seat ma). i could not s...
