I'm Yours - Jason Mraz



Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chilled but you're so hot that i melted
I fell right through the cracks, and i'm tryin to get back
before the cool done run out i'll be givin it my best test
and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

but I won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i'm yours

mmm mmm

Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
a look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
we are just one big family
and it's our god forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved

So, i won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i'm sure
there's no need to complicate our time is short
this is our fate, i'm yours

*scat*

I've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror
and bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer
but my breath fogged up the glass
and so I drew a new face and i laughed
I guess what I'm a sayin'is there ain't no better reason
to rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
it's what we aim to do
our name is our virtue

but I won't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, i'm yours

well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
a look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
so please don't, please don't, please don't
there's no need to complicate
cause our time is short
this is or this or this is our fate, i'm yours

The day I am a bummer

a bummer sure sounds like obama.. but i aint gonna talk about the day i become obama. i dont really know him by the way. it was the day that i sure hope that i can turn back time.

so this was the day that the girl that i like a lot asked me to join her for shisha socializing with some old friends. in fact i actually know some of the friends she was mentioning about. so i were to meet them at castle jalan damai in which i was very excited about. first, and foremost i got to met her and then i got to try for the first time shisha. friday night 10 pm, it wasnt that late at all.

alas that friday was really tiring for me. just before lunch that afternoon, i discovered some parameters that i entered wrong in the simulation. the simulation was for the base case where everyone had to follow in order to simulate their other cases. so being a responsible fellow engineer, i could not just ignore the error and hence i informed everyone. so i had to re-do the base case with the correct parameters, ran all the other simulations i have done, put it in the server and then informed other fellow engineers. i felt bad but there was always lesson in doing mistake right? so all that have to be done within one hour before lunch time since after the friday prayer i would have attend a workshop in bukit kiara. i managed to finish it by one hour and i hope that i did not make any other mistake. God forbids since the meeting on the simulations would be held on the monday. thus for them to complete all the other simulations they have to refer to the base case that i simulated.

my lunch wasnt that smooth either. since my sister left her keys at home, i have to hand her the keys at the lrt station. just in case i have to be home late, she wouldnt have to wait outside the house.

after the prayer, i went in to the office to finalize the files in the server. i copied all the related files from the server to my thumb drive so i could look at it at home. when everything looks ok then i rushed out the building and zoom drove off the bukit kiara.

sure what they said about the sprint highway is true. complicated and very misleading. i took the wrong exit and ended up going to sectiom 16 which is far from where i was supposed to be. realizing that i made a u turn and tried the same road again, again i felt that that i was going in the wrong direction. looking at the time it was already 2.58 pm and omg the workshop would be starting at 3. my heart was pounding really fast and i decided to stop at shell to ask for direction. true enough, i again missed the exit to bukit kiara and the tauke told me how to get there. so i called my senior telling him that i missed the exit but then he assured me to try again since the workshop had not started just yet. people were still enjoying the refreshment in the lobby.

so luckily i made it before the event started (which exactly started at 3.15pm) but as in the other workshop we had to interact and discuss the subject matter with other participants. i believed overall that the workshop was an eye opener. so then i reached home around six after all the hustle in the traffic, i guessed every friday the traffic is worst than any other day. so after shower and maghrib i laid down on the sofa and fell asleep. damn it was really good sleep till i woke up to find that i missed the night out with them.

wow i am a bummer and what a stupid mistake to lay down when you were really tired knowing that you will fall asleep and at the same time knowing that someone is expecting you. not just any someone but someone you want to impress. haha i felt like an idiot actually. so early morning next day i text her to say how sorry i am for last night. but still i felt really bad for letting her down.

Changes

Change your life style or change the government? Somehow, i've been hearing this frequent. To me, nothing really changes except for prices. Prices that i have to pay to buy things.

it all started with the fuel hike. i used to fill up my tank for RM 80, it was then, now i have to pay near to RM 120. that's an increase of RM 40!! for the same amount of gas... fuyyoo. wow now i am driving more smoothly, no jerking and no going over 100km/hr. they said every 1km/hr above 100km/hr will drain your gas by x percent which i dont remember but i believe that holds true for my car. when it is ok, i will not turn on the air conditioner unless its freaking hot and im starting to sweat like a pig. (is it true pig sweats profusely..? I'm not sure but i always hear that .. :/

then everything else started to rise.. since i am not a frequent buyer of goods so i dont know, but then again, i hear that a lot. but what i re ally felt is the increase in price of foods in the canteen. i used to buy 3 karipaps or other kuehs for RM1 then now it is RM1.20. other things such as goreng goreng, nasi lemak, etc went up by 50 cents. duhh

but one thing does not change yet, but i'm hoping and waiting.. which is my PAY.
common man.. pay me more because i have to pay more for things.
but i heard that my CEO and CFO are to get 100% increment in their salary. WTHeck??! are you joking? freaking joking when you say they do not pay you enough. i have heard that someone read that CEO received a total of 1.1 million in their remuneration last year. what else.. still want more but then ignoring those getting only something like 4 figures or even 1k? if Pak Lah let it go then i am speechless.

so i am hoping that the new CA will bring some smiles to ppl like me. some satisfaction for the hardworks in tnb, in getting all the awards. to CK, "PLEASE PROVE THAT YOU ARE THE MOST prihatin majikan OF THE YEAR!!" like the awards say.

at the same time, power sector experience more than double the fuel cost. gas has risen to RM14.31/mmbtu and coal has gone up 125 USD/tonne. so that is the main reason for the increase in the electric tariff.. NOT BECAUSE WE WANT TO PAY OUR CEO or CFO MORE THAN THEY SHOULD BE GETTING.
