A New Kind of Fanaticsm


Today something weird happened. It wasnt that weird to me but all the people around me found it really weird that it happened. I was sitting in a review meeting of what is to be presented during a in-company training session and at which point i discovered that i had not brought a pen. With as much cool-ness s possible i reached out to a yellow pen from across the table from me and opened the cap.

What happened next caught me off guard. I was amazingly impressed by how well the pen felt in my hand. I felt like i could write the world on it. Then i realized the tip of the pen. Its like the picture above. And i loved it. After the meeting i gave the pen back, but i loved how it felt in my hand so much and how it wrote so well i actually gathered enough courage to ask.

"Saya nak pen tu boleh? Saya beli dari awak bleh tak?"

And everyone who heard me turned around and made faces. I didnt think it was weird. Then i remembered, not everyone is a writer. Not everyone writes in a journal and have found from time to time how pens can be so unreliable. How a pen that feels weird in your hands makes you feel like NOT writing. And hence my admiration for the pen or for pens in general. None the less, i didnt get the pen. I wish i had a pen just like that, but the guy told me it costs like a hundred something, which is way too much money anyone should spend on a pen. Once i have some extra money though its the first thing on my I-Want-List. Buhbye people!!!


p/s - Im sorry i havent had time to update the blog and seems like Sabrinas the only making this place a warm place to visit. None the less. Holidays are coming up and will try to write more.
