628. Silent Suffering
4/9
I flew to KL for a visit to a supplier's factory. It was a very educational trip. Flying in I felt invincible, nothing really to do with the visit. Just generally feeling good about myself, maybe it's the lack of sleep, maybe it's the coffee early in the morning or maybe it's the flight. Oh well, The visit went well and despite the heavy rain and all, my spirit wasn't dampened at all.

This morning however, woke up with the feeling of impending doom. Got my work done and headed to the airport for the flight back. The flight was awesome. I've been on many flights, but this was interesting. I sat on the 2nd row and had a window seat. Looking out I could see a very cloudy, yet bright sky (hmmm, that doesn't make sense). It's really extrodinary. Grayish at the bottom and bright blue up above. Words can't do it justice, too bad I didn't have my camera with me, it's safely stowed in the overhead compartment. Darn it! Just staring out the window makes me wonder what if I had pursued my career in aviation. Sigh. would've, could've, should've.
I've always looked out the window during flights and wondered wouldn't it be nice if I could fly the plane throught those clouds. Just as I was thinking that, I could see clouds approaching from the front and we flew right into it. Woo Hoo! The plane climbed rapidly and dropped as we flew into the clouds. Awesome! On this particular flight, we flew into clouds many times. And everytime the dense clouds would cause the plane to rise and fall quickly. It would be intepreted as a very turbulent flight, but I loved it! Beautiful skies, bumpy ride, seat up front, made me feel like I'm flying the plane, what's not to like? Too beautiful a day to be down.
As we flew into Penang, the skies quickly changed. The beautiful white fluffy clouds and blue skies quickly dissolve into dark the background. Soon, there were droplets of water streaming across my window and I could barely see anything as we land. Now this is the perfect weather to be feeling down. Very suitable. The rest of the day didn't get any better. When I finally got home, there was a blackout in my neighborhood. Hmmmm, thank You God? Well, can't blame the Big Guy right?
6/9
Today weren't any better in terms of weather and mood. It rained the whole nite last nite. Stopped for a bit before it started again during lunch. It got heavier to the point that flights into Penang were cancelled. The drive to How's place for dinner will be interesting. We made it & basically stayed till the rain slowed. Just what the doctor ordered; good food, company and wine. Oh, speaking of good food, finally tried J.Co Donuts while I was in KL. Well, there's nothing fancy about the toppings, but the donuts itself was much softer and not as oily as Dunkin Donuts, but I don't think it's worth queing for 45mins to get it.

Feeling much better now, headed out to Sunset Bistro, then Gurney and later QE2. Just keeping myself occupied since I took Monday off, there was no hurry to get home.

On leave today & have lotsa time on my hands, so decided to do some DIY. My PS3 & the Onkyo amp gets really hot while in operation, so decided to make some fans to cool it. Got some power supply and salvaged some fan from some old PCs and put them together, Voila! Free cooling system. :) Time well spent!
