Enjoy today

Yvonne has officially labeled me a walking zombie in the office since Monday and I wonder why. In only three days, I now look like this...



I was given strict instructions after the 20th person asked me why was I looking gloomy and sad faced. Instructions were simple, smile more or die (nola not really die but something along the same lines). Today I'm smiling more and its because of a certain someone.

Xiang Yu (項羽) was a legendary character of the old warring states more famous than his rival, Liu Bang who would be the founder of the 400 year Han dynasty. Xiang Yu of the province of Chu was the first to use the title 'par wong' and was the inspiration behind the adoption of my name. According to history, Xiang Yu was defeated by backhanded tactics of Liu Bang after the latter reneged on the pact to divide the heavens into two.

But all legends tell of how Xiang Yu at his end with his concubine, Yuji (虞姬) (couldn't marry her as she was not royal blood but she was the love of his life in the feudal days). Some say he lost because she was killed and some said he lost all will to fight after she was gone. The great tyrant brought to his end because of his love. What more for a blogger who has the same name?

Zhao Zilong, the great general of Liu Bei of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms fame, once said, "I seek fame not women". Thewreck says, "I seek my baby and nothing else!"

I messed up

"What is her surname?"

"Evil"

What is her last name?"

"Janet"

And with that, I was connected to her hotel room. But along the way, I messed up and alerted the whole world. Racked up a huge phone bill and had to harass the hotel staff in broken Mandarin to be connected to your room which probably shocked your room mate and made you embarassed. For that baby, I'm truly sorry that I made a complete ass out of myself. I would like to say I was tired and could not think clearly but the reason I panicked was simply because I was too worried for you and I think I seriously over reacted. Sorry baby.

With the apology being made official, that was not the reason why I'm writing this post. I'm writing this to let you know that I'm smiling today because I know that you're watching. And I promise to live everyday to the fullest until you get back because you complete me and make my life perfect. You complement what I'm not and make me want to be a better man.

And I want you to also smile for me because:-
1) You should be and deserve to be the luckiest girl on planet earth
2) I'm also watching that you smile and nothing means more than you smiling because of me
3) Because when you smile, I smile more and you're my international weather channel

I don't have much pics to share with you but I'm hoping that you like the ones I took below on the way to work.







Hope this warms you on a cold day. Ticking off the days until you get back and KL becomes "sunny" again.

PS. Baby, I love you (sorry Cecilia Ahern, just had to steal your book title) today, everyday, and I hope if you allow me to for forever. Have I told you baby that you look wonderful today, because I see you too everytime I close my eyes and you're perfect.

Two telephone calls and Häagen-Dazs

Woke up twice last night. For two phone calls. One was meant to be and the other not planned to happen. And I am now seriously love with Häagen-Dazs as well.



Came in the office this morning still reeling from the now officially greatest weekend of my life. Woke up the first time out of no reason at 2.30 and stayed up for half an hour to wake evil janet up at 3 and the other at 5 to say goodbye for a week :( (how in the world am I going to survive the week???). Just couldn't let her go just like that for a week right?

The magic just seems to live on. When she got there and called, I was right there beside her.

Yesterday was simply the happily ever after finale to everything. Yesterday was casual but stil so special. We held hands again, walked in the rain and had ice cream after the rain. And that was on top of visiting four shopping malls and endless cuddles up and down the escalators (baby, love it when you cuddle).



It was definitely a sweet sweet weekend. Just wanted to include this song which came out in Shrek 2 (not your favourite one baby from Pocahantas but yeah summarises it best right now).

Hooked on a feeling

I can't stop this feeling
Deep inside of me.
Girl, you just don't realize
What you do to me.
When you hold me
In your arms so tight,
You let me know,
Everythings alright, ahahah

I'm hooked on a feeling,
I'm high on believing,
That your in love with me.

Lips as sweet as candy.
Their taste stays on my mind.
Girl, you keep me thirsty for another cup of wine.

I got it bad for you girl,
But I don't need a cure,
I'll just stay addicted, If I can endure
All the good love, when we're all alone
Keep it up girl, yeah you turn me on.

I'mmm, I'mmm Hooked on a feeling.
I'm high on believing that your in love with me.
All the good love, when we're all alone
Keep it up girl, yeah you turn me on.

Ahaha I'm hooked on a feeling,
I'm high on believing,
That your in love with me.

I'm hooked on a feeling,
I'm high on believing,
That your in love with me.

I say I'm hooked on a feeling,
And I'm high on believing,
That your in love with me.
I'm hooked on a feeling.

PS. Now seriously, how am I going to survive the week????

Earth Hour = Love Hour......A Story

This is a story that happened on the 28th of March in a distant year that people might or might not remember. Its a story about two individuals called Jamal and Lathika. Any similarities with any fictional or real characters are purely intentional and meant to be.



Now, it was an early morning and Jamal was tired finishing a card for Lathika on the 28th. I would like to say the birds were chirping and the sky was crystal blue but no..the greatest thing that could happen was when Lathika woke him up. That was the tone for the day from hearts racing to stopping to galloping to craziness.

Jamal found himself lost in front of Lathika's home and he was early, mind you (hey, the road numbering was funny and had to twirl a few times arounf the block). They had their fist hug which then time stopped for approximately 0.1 seconds before reality came back (which really sux). Lathika had fruit drinks for breakfast which she had been kind enough to share with Jamal which really was the first heart mealt of the day.

The entire day was a fairytale run and if everything was written here, there would be no ending. Now, the Bible says that "Man shall not leave on bread alone". Heck, it could not have been more true, everything was sweet and Jamal and Lathika lived on air, water and love alone. Estimated time spent on gazing at each other was an Olympic record 14 straight hours. Everything was perfect although the movie, Taken would not have been a great first date movie because 1) the movie spoke about 2 travellers who got taken (pun intended) and Lathika just got back from a 2 people trip 2) the violence was 'painful'. But, it ended well with a few instances of Jamal constantly peeking to see if Lathika was allright and it must be noted that Lathika's reactions were cute. This was in between Jamal picking caramel popcorn for Lathika from the other tasteless ones.

The most awesome part was dinner. The place was practically deserted and it was like Jamal and Lathika had the whole restaurant for themselves. An then, "Excuse me sir and madam, now is earth hour. Would you mind if we turn off the lights and use candles?". Imagine a whole restaurant, great ambience, excellent music, fine dining, wine, whole restaurant empty, candlelight dinner and all the time in the world. I wish the English language could invent words to describe these happenings which extends beyond euphoria, perfection and absolute romance. Or maybe there is a word, but the author simply does not know nor cares.

There was wine, eye gazing, ahem, hand holding and that moment was pure magic. It was so thick in the eye that it would suffocate you. Jamal and Lathika were in love and nothing could steal the moment. Nothing on earth could have disrupted that moment. After a slow meal, it was onto the veranda after the lights were turned back on. Magnificent view of KL Tower and KLCC. The only imperfection was the absence of stars in the sky. Finished the wine but the shock came when Lathika was tipsy and had to get to the washroom. Won't go into details, but Jamal and Lathika shared their first kiss right there and then. It was the most magical moment of the night if you ask me.

Lathika told Jamal that she got tipsy on purpose to be daring. Now if love is not the best anectode for bravery then I do not know what is. It was love that made her brave enough to be tipsy and so was it really love that made her brave enough or was it the wine? The answer is written.

The heartstops, heart melts, time stopping moments would have destroyed the earth and put global warming to shame.

Well, the night ended with Jamal racing back driving with one hand and the other holding onto Lathika's. End of story which will stay in their minds forever the author hopes, forever and ever.

I wish to say I was making this up but the author also has been biting his own fingers to ensure that this was real and the many more that happened that day was pure magic. The author hopes to write more magic tomorrow, next week, next month, next year and forever to come.

This also explains why there were no new comments on the 28th of March on the AirAsia blog. Jamal needed a day off, one day just not to look at the blog and live a proper life and the greatest day of his life was just perfect.

Now excuse me, I need to stop daydreaming of the 28th and start thinking about her and missing her.

PS. Baby, I luv u...forever and ever baby!
