Too much of something makes bad things… or perhaps make things bad.

Thousands and millions of the ‘literature review’ phrase finally got me up to my nerves. Plus the ever tail-gating due dates and due dates… due dates!! I’m feeling half-hanging now… kinda like going nowhere. I started to hate this phrase already… it got my brain heavily squeezed in the past few weeks and I became more and more bengang unless it will end one day.

Kicking away the rush and numbs in me, I ran away with Marcus for a breather just few hours before the clock strike that signified the arrival of the nation’s 50 years of independence and glory.

I even managed to catch a glimpse of the fireworks on the Kota Laksamana flyover and uttered a faithful ‘Happy Merdeka Malaysia’ while sliding down the road with free gear. Met some friends and settled down at a Pakistanis open restaurant. At our table, there were Chinese, Eurasian, Chindian, Indonesian, Indian and Pujerati among ‘em – a good depict of multinational indeed. I wasn’t in the mood of talking much, but was stuffed with plenty of nice stories sharing, thanks to Ms D and Pris. Not much words were uttered but indeed had a good smiles and laughs – I guess much needed for the healing of my bengang-ness??

I bought a DVD for myself before call it a day. I was flipping to many titles and compilations, but most of it didn’t really seemed exciting for me… eventually I settled down for a choice and this is what I got.

Ms D: Asyik cartoon only. So many nice titles you pointed to me just now, no other better one to buy ah?
Me: (With the bengang face) 最近生活压力大，所以需要看很多卡通片…… (Translate: Baru-baru ni banyak tekanan hidup, jadi kena tengok banyak kartun……)
Ms D: (Shakes head and speechless…)

I’m feeling bengang, but still sane and clear enough to wish my beloved country for a stronger, better and more united tomorrow…

Mood: Bengang lo…
