Blackholes & Revelations

Heikal and Wardah were fooling around with the camera and recording me doing something embarassing. When I played back the clip, I realise my eyes kept blinking, with very short intervals in between blinks. It’s very distracting, and I can imagine how annoyed a person I’m talking to face-to-face must be feeling. Even I’m irritated by this fact.

I guess I should start putting on glasses, but damn, last time I remember, I lost 4 spectacles back to back. I don’t want to buy a fifth, and only having to lose a fifth.

It’s nice to write after a long time of not doing so. My internship at Ria has forced me to convert my tongue to a full-time Malay. The good thing is that I finally have an avenue where I can use all the Malay words and idioms I have learned back in secondary school. However, the bad thing is that, if I recall correctly, I didn’t really absorb that much from Cikgu Zainal then, which pretty much means that there’s nothing much I can apply or show off at work.

Nevertheless, these days, in spite of all the late nights at work and tons of money spent on taxi fares, I’m a very happy man. So I guess it’s true what they (who the hell is this “they”) say: you will enjoy your work if what you do is of your interest. But I can’t really confirm yet whether radio shall be my next path, but right now, it doesn’t seem like a bad choice at all.
