all that happened in October

and yes, finally, a post. lol. sorry i've been on a hiatus; it's been one hell of a month. and i really cannot remember the last time i had the time (and patience) to sit in front of my (dying) laptop. in between work, reading and tv shows (lol yes) i put my laptop on neglect.

so anyway. here's what you missed in october. which isn't much. i've got some really nice photos to update. here's one of the twin towers in KL, taken with my humble layman camera that i'm very proud of. lol. it takes amazing night shots!

oh and previously at ECP i had some nice shots too.

glorious skies! mega love~ ♥

and then finally on halloween weekend i attended my company's D&D held at Soul, a local club which used to be Supper Club i think.

yup, theme was Rock & Royale but i can tell you that a lot of them guys wore normal stuff. i mean, how hard is it to find something black to wear? this would be us. :)

but then can you blame them? even the MD wasn't dressed according to the theme! tsk. (but he smells damn good so...it's okay. lol!)

lab girls, please. ♥

did NOT win anything. boo. so much for "newcomer luck". ugh. so i bounced over to wala wala for actual rock! \m/ and took a photo with a black ghost. LOL. (i'm looking at the photo again and he really does look creepy, even with the smile. or maybe that's the point.)

amidst all the fun and great company, there was death. i mean, there is death every other second, but we don't really think about it unless it happened to someone close or someone you know. Wiyah had to cut short her vacation in singapore because her husband died and was only found 30 hours later; the door to the apartment had to be knocked down.

it got me thinking for a bit. i wanted to blog about how short life is, but it's gonna turn out hypocritical because the only time anyone talks about life being short is when they experience a death close to their hearts.

to be honest, i don't know what i learnt from this, except that man i'm a lousy comfort. i guess. i have NO idea how to put comfort into words, and all i did was be there for her. she tells me she appreciates my presence, but until today, i don't think i've done anything for her. words are so empty when she's like halfway across the globe and i cannot drop my commitments to spare her the comfort she needs.

i found this photo from 2005? when i first met her husband. i've only seen him twice, but my heart went out to her when i saw her break down.

everything happens for a reason. for a better reason. she's one of the strongest woman i know, but even the strongest have weak moments.

i won't go on and on to say how not to take people for granted. we all know that, in theory. now the challenge is to put them into action.

RIP Safwan.
