Finley Quaye - Even after all

soundtrack for sunday morning drive down to PD

Where fore art thou ocean?

I woke up super early yesterday as I went to bed at 10 the previous night. I had planned to watch some TV to pass the time but that went down the drain as the maids had monopolised it with sinetron after sinetron. I could've played Nazi and ordered a complete wipeout of the TV room anytime I walke in there, but I'm a pussycat when it comes to my maids and pretty much let them have their way with what little time they have to chill out. (and my sisters wonder why Kak Enti is fond of me)
It was a beautiful morning, slightly cloudy and cold, mind you, because it had rained the night before. I sat on the front porch, being in the moment when I realised that I miss the ocean. Mornings like that would be perfect if I could hear crashing waves and look far out into the horizon, not knowing where the sea ended and where the sky started. I thought to myself "If you miss the ocean so much, why don;t you just go to it"....and so I did. In the next 15 minutes, I got dressed, got my camera, Ipod and cruised down to PD. Although PD isn't exactly the sort of beach I had hoped for, but hey, a beach is a beach. Besides it was the journey which was what I was most looking forward to. I'll post some pics up later as I have stupidly forgotten my memory card. In the mean time, enjoy the soundtrack...

A Brokedown Melody - Clipe(Jack Johnson - Home)

GONE

I saw a cat got run over this morning on  the highway. It was literally right next to me, on the merging flyover. It wasn't even a cat, it was a kitten. It sat there clearly distraught, not knowing what to do. Cars weren't even moving fast because of rush hour traffic and still it died. I stopped my car to try to get to it, but a huge jeep ran over it before I could even open my door. I
I'm sure he and a few others who had passed it saw it. How could they have let that happen?
I cried...over a kitten....all the way to the office. If only I was a little bit quicker....over a kitten

The traffic jam was in a way related to my emotional state. I just can never get Malaysian traffic. Monday- clear, Tuesday building up and come today, chock full of cars. It's almost like people don't go to work on Monday and then just barely pulling themselves out of bed on Tuesday and only in full working mode in Wednesday.
I slumped in my car, thinking what all this is worth? Why do we put up with it day after day? Where are we getting to? and for what?
That got me to think of a slew of other questions.....
I'm tired of living in a place where people have no respect for other living beings and I'm tired of wasting my life in traffic jams......it's just ridiculous....
I need to get out of here...
10th July.....

Name Change

I thought it was appropriate to change the name of my blog to something shorter and much more identifiable- something that snaps at people's tongues.
Curious because I'm often looking for the who, what, where and why of things. Hobbit because I'm only 5' 6" in height....well, 5' 5" actually....
