More Numbers...

As usual, its almost 2.00 am and I can't sleep... Hmmm this looks like an opportunity to squeeze in a fuel consumption update...

Petrol: Shell Super
Value of gas pumped (G): RM 60.29
Volume of gas in litres (G / 1.92 = L): 31.401 litres
Starting value on the odometer (A): 2053.2 km
Ending value on the odometer (B): 2499.1 km
Total distance traveled (B - A = C): 445.90 km
KM / L (C / L): 14.2 km/l
Ratio of city driving to highway cruising: 3:1

Fuel consumption was slightly better this time around because I behaved myself when I was on the road...

Well enough of the fuel consumption thing... You see, I can't sleep because I've got lots on my mind... its not like I am some sort of profound thinker... its just that my mind is filled with many random thoughts right now and some of them are pretty scary... Before you idiots think I am going insane, please allow me to correct you dumbasses by assuring you that I am very sane... well actually more sane than most...

Anyway, I have been thinking alot about the impending wedding and I... urm and I... urm... and I have been working my butt off for so many years that I seem to have lost sight of most of my friends... heck I can't even name more than 10... all the people I know these days are either suppliers, clients or coworkers...

I mean is this right??? Have I really forsaken them all by doing the responsible thing of working my butt off to try to earn a living... Have I given up on forging social networks without placing an objective on the endeavour??? What have I done??? What have I become??? Its come to a stage where I have more business cards of work contacts than photographs of friends... Heck even 6 out of 8 numbers of my speed dial are work related... I don't even recognize the names in my phone book anymore... Is this right???

You see its thoughts like these that keep me up at night... I keep telling myself I need to do something about it but, its always the same... I just get caught up with work until I forget about it again...

Who will I invite to the wedding then??? Who??? Relatives??? Heck I haven't kept in contact with them either... I can't even remember most of them... Work contacts??? They may tolerate me at work because of my rank so who knows if they will really come... Clients??? That may be construed as a conflict of interest... so it might get messy... Who then I wonder??? Who??? Would you like to come???
