Finally Found Someone

Baby, although we are hundreds of kilometres apart, trust that you are never far from my mind. In fact, you never left my mind or my heart in every single thing that I do. As I get by each day without you here, be it work or days off, or even hanging out with the guys at mamak, my mind would always wonder off to the thoughts of you my love.

Each day passes bringing me closer and closer to seeing you again. Long distance is not easy but I believe that we will make it work no matter what because we are meant for each other. The challenges will keep on coming bee but trust that I will always be there for you.

This particular week that you've been busy-I just want you to know that I understand. Don't get me wrong, i feel left out at times but I know that it is something that you have to do and I'm standing by you every step of the way.

Four years of studying is a long time to wait baby, but i would wait forever, just to know that you are mine.

Baby, whenever you feel stressed or faced with tensioned, know that I believe in you and you can overcome any obstacles once you set your mind to it.

I guess good ol' Bryan Adams is right...

When you love someone, you'll do anything,
You shoot the moon, put out the sun,
When you love someone.

You'll deny the truth,
Believe a lie,
There'll be time when you believe,
You can really fly,
Your lonely nights,
Have just begun,
When you love someone.

Baby, I know that I could be overbearing at times and for that I ask your forgiveness. I know sometimes I could be hard to deal with and for that too I am sorry darling.

Life is a wonderful mystery my love and I want to figure it out with you baby. You are the breath of fresh air in my life after more than 24 years of wondering the world searching for 'the one'.

I know I have found 'the one' to spend the rest of my life and that someone is you. My soulmate, my bestfriend, my future-wife, my life, my everything.

In the words of a song we both know and love...I've finally found someone...

The Wrestler

Photobucket



I watched the movie 'The Wrestler' on DVD (yes pirated wtf) the other day, partly because I am a wrestling fan and proud of it. (I know what your are thinking-why watched a fake sport to begin with rite?). I had no expectation of the movie as I thought it was only a fun-watch.

However, lemme tell you..I was blown away by Mickey Rourke's performance as he did the professional wrestling industry some form of justice. The story line was not what I expected. It tells a story of a down and out wrestler, who is trying to find his way in life.

The story shys away from the glamour of sports entertainment and instead focused on how wrestler Randy 'The Ram' Robinson (Rourke's character) gets by every single day by earning minimum wages and doing something he loves-wrestling. It shows how hard a wrestler had to go through in the first scene itself where Randy just came home after a house show (wrestling event) and to find his trailer locked by the tenant because of overdue rent.

He had to juggle working at a supermarket during weekdays and wrestling during weekends with just barely to get by. The story hit a turning point when Randy suffered a heart attack and had to retire from wrestling.

After a heart bypass, Randy realizes that he is all alone with no family nor friends except for a stripper named Cassidy played by Marisa Tomei. He tried to make amends with his 20 something daughter, whom he left behind when she was younger. However, tried as he did, he kept making the same mistakes and failed to connect with her.

All the heartbreaks of everyday life took its toll on Randy until he snapped and quit his job at the supermarket and decided to return to the ring for one last match.

Cassidy tried to stop him because of his heart condition but before leaving for the match, he told her 'Out there, everyone hurts me, here is where I belong' .

Randy wrestled his arch-nemesis called the Ayotollah for his last ever match. Sadly, he died after completing his signature move.

I was really moved by this movie as it showed the challenges that a wrestler had to go through. People think its fake, yeah at least as far as a story line is concerned but the injuries are very real.

It showed how professional the wrestlers are as they are friends with each other even if on TV they are supposedly enemies, who beat each other out. They even look out for each other.

I really feel for Randy as he tried to make amends for his past mistakes but to no avail. It showed how professional wrestling ought to be portrayed. The movie's success is largely due to Rourke's performance and I think he deserved an Oscar.

As a wrestling fan, I am glad that such a movie was made. I am really thankful that these guys are given a fair and balance portrayal for a change.

By the way, I don't watch WWE anymore because of work and other commitments but once in a while it is fun to see the show dubbed the male soap-opera.

3-YEAR-OLD GIRL ABANDONED

I was having a very mundane Monday until i stumbled upon the story of a little Chinese girl abandoned with just a plastic bag filled with clothing and nothing more near a flat in Skudai.

At first i thought it was normal as i had encountered other more gruesome stuff in my short years as a journalist but then after awhile it hit me. What kind of parents will leave a child to fend for herself.

Luckily a passer-by noticed the girl at about 12.10am on Monday and sent her to the police station. If that good samaritan hadn't done so, who knows what would have happened to her.

Worst still, the police don't know who she is as she had no documents such as a birth-cert. The search is still on for her relatives and next of kin.

I felt angrier at the parents for abandoning their child once i saw her very very cute pix. It is unfair to this child as she had done nothing wrong to deserve such a fate.

I truly hope that the child's relatives will come forward and in a way rescue her. I will definitely pray for her well-being.

The story may or may not be published in the newspapers but i just want people to know my feelings on it.

Alas, mundane Monday became a much profound one.

MONDAY BLUES!!!

After three days of bliss with my soulmate, its back to work..AArggh!!!.From the moment i step into the office,the boss piled me up on work. I'm like..relax dude, i just got back and still pretty much zombie-like (saying it in my head of cause and not directly to him, wtf).; Im still getting the hang of things at the office but my heart is still in Nilai. However, i will do the work to the best of my ability as i know that one very special person is rooting for me. Wish me luck in getting rid of my Monday Blues (blues as in not Chelsea wtf!!). Today's mission-finish up or rather start the Sunday Focus story on retrenched workers and crime checks. Status of mission as in 10.15am-10% progress!!Time to get a move on, until next time.
