Memories

Memories...can be happy or sad, worth remembering or worth forgetting. The memories that I used to hold dear to me, that are close to my heart, has now turned into memories that hurt and brings tears.

Today was yet another day when I was reminded about how lousy a person I am, how unknowledgeable and ignorant I was in his eyes. Enlightening indeed. And this time round, Im definitely super, extremely disappointed...and decided I shall not be stupid again. I shall not elaborate more...I think those who know me will know what I'm getting at. Even if i speak in riddles, somehow you'll understand.

Trying to stash away those memories deep deep down so that I cannot retrieve them...yet things that are handed to me on purpose just dug them all up once again. Things at my door, things in my home, in my room, on my laptop...so many. Enough is enough.

"Don't cry" were the words for me...so were "things you've lost shall be restored". Sweet sweet comfort amidst of the turbulent times in my life.

On a happier note, I had a great, great weekend despite all this. Thanks to a sweet friend who happened to have extra tickets to the Formula 1 race. I opted to go for qualifying, and it was a great experience.

These are the stuff I got to remember my first-ever F1 experience. From left - F1 survival kit, ticket, brochure and the tag from a Ferrari tee. Honestly-speaking, I would prefer watching the actual race itself, hence I only opted to go for qualifying to experience the real thing itself. The tickets were just too expensive for me...I would rather go for a holiday than pay so much for this. But it was worth the money. The race was beautiful, set against the nicely-litted CBD. It was well-organised and felt like a carnival with a great party atmosphere, instead of a pure sporting event. Though there weren't that much to see on the race track, except for cars zooming past real close, it was fun. Watching the race on TV, hearing the invigorating sound of the cars zooming by and the smell of burnt rubber, it's not exactly pleasant, but that's what the real experience brings. Food is expensive, toilets are jam-packed, roads are blocked and human jams every where....nevertheless, i enjoyed the experience. At least now I can say that I've been there once. But to pay over $300 for that ticket, hmmmm there's still a whole load of convincing to do.

Sunday was family day. We headed over to big aunt's place to eat Satay Zulut (no idea how it's spelt). It was yummy! Though nowhere near the authentic Malacca one, but yummy all the same. And to see my nieces and nephews, it was a real treat. They were just so entertaining, so funny. I enjoyed visiting my relatives, especially this side of the family. My grandma has moved home, and is stay at my aunt's place for care-giving purposes. She looks frail, but is able to walk now. Still needs help though...hope she gets better soon.

Just finished watching the race on TV and Lewis Hamilton won. He's quite a personality...charming and a good, distinctive driver. I enjoy watching him race...and I like watching Button, Rosberg, Vettel and Alonso. Ferrari was disappointing, but I'm glad to see the non-favoured teams shining this season. It's great for a change....makes the sport exciting and less predictable.

Well, now I wonder, what's next...? Crying is definitely not on my list.
