What Men Want


Pan is a body-builder trainer, athletic and good looking. Yet out of the stereotype, he leads a double life. He is a self-made porn star earning lucrative income through his personal cum business website. His apparent conservative client(s) from body building training become(s) not so conservative after all upon discovering his other side of life. He loves money and sex.

Gerard is a model photographer, slim, tall and handsome. His life is teeming with women and lust. He enjoys meeting new girlfriend and finds life excitement through one night stand. He believes women who come into relationship with him are well aware that their encounter is purely for fun without commitment. He loves sex.

Farrer is a macho-looking man with high self-esteem and confidence. He strictly holds to his life principle, conservative, responsible and hardly change for the sake of others. He knows career and family are his priorities.

Keith is a good looking guy who always put his mother to his first priority. He has a gorgeous girlfriend. He doesn't know what he really wants in his life. Yet he is pretty sure he wants to give the best life he can provide to his mother and younger siblings.

I am a "street" man with a trapped mentality living in his teenage world. I used to hunger for a car, a house and a family.  Ever since abandoning my previous career, I do not know what I want heartily. I am a floating wood in the ocean. Leave me alone.

Interchange in Kuala Lumpur

On my way to Singapore, I had to transit in Kuala Lumpur. The long-awaited Pudu Sentral  is finally open for revenue service after a year of massive renovation. It looks as modern as the new Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) at Bandar Tasik Selatan. I decided to go to TBS instead for south bound bus. 

One of the convenient way to reach TBS from Pudu Sentral is via LRT towards Sri Petaling from Plaza Rakyat to Bandar Tasik Selatan. I was surprised that LRT has changed their ticketing system from using ticket card to ticket coin. I guess the ticket coin is more reliable than ticket card which is prone to failure.

#1 LRT ticket coin

I stopped at Salak Selatan station initially as being misinformed by ticketing personnel in Pudu Sentral. I had been to TBS once about a year ago but the confusion arising from the place name itself is inevitable. TBS is located in Salak Selatan but the nearest LRT station is named as Bandar Tasik Selatan and there is another LRT station named Salak Selatan.

Awakening from Slumber

Deception in Slumber: She spies.

While I was browsing books in Public Library at NEX, I chanced upon a book entitled "Awakening from Sleep". I took couple of minutes if not half an hour to read the introduction, the first part and partially on the rest. It's a "breakthrough" attempt for me to actually read the book thus far as I had never really read a book for a year. A year of working aimlessly and reluctantly has thrown my mind into a deep slumber that I barely able to put concentration into focusing task like reading. "Why am I living here for?" is the stereotypical quote in the book which easily strike the cord with most people. Peace, security, money, greed, evil, jealousy. Here it goes.

"For what purpose she is living here now, taking breath in and out. She has few which have been out track since she changed job.

Life has been seclusive since then; she has been avoiding interaction with anyone including family members. She has physically and virtually cut off connection with old friends, university friends and ex-colleagues. Apparently for a year since, she has been living by herself and growing hatred towards her employer. 

With gut feeling and hatred, she manage to infiltrate into the management team. Like others in the team, she looks like them outside; sweet talking, obedient, hardworking and ambitious. Yet deep inside her, she is waiting for opportunity to sabotage the company before she quits. Revenge is one and only motivation that help her to stay on. The downside is that she has been depressed yet she can't let it be detectable by others. Her cognitive ability has been deteriorating in her daily life yet the damage doesn't prevent her to carry on her deception plan. 

"Don't be so naive! Life is that unfair. Accept and move on with life". "No, I don't. I don't give in without a fight. No, I won't be so naive to be a religious suicide bomber to resist and fight against enemy causing innocent sacrifices. Yes I am that naive to get myself into an unnecessary trouble for a revenge."   

Until the day she accomplish her mission, it is a worthwhile slumber she has been putting herself in for others including herself whose careers have been stagnant and exploited."

Life may be so unpredictable and vibrant with complex factors, yet I feel relieved to have someone with same life principle or faith.
