Gals in the Zoo

Finally after so much planning and deciding and stuff, we managed to get ourselves to the zoo today-3 girls, all with really poor senses of directions, who could never read maps(geography students by the way), who could even forget to take maps from the entrance and happily start walking around aimlessly, who mistook live pelicans for figurines.. I don't even want to go further.. Although we started in the wrong direction(surprise, surprise) and ended up seeing monkey after monkey after monkey, I guess we did have a lot of laughs especially each time we spotted the guys in blue and attempted taking photographs.. And I don't think I'd forget how Vic ran after the peacock or how Sai constantly succeeded in dropping the sunglasses or how we managed to look really pathetic till passers by started to offer us directions without us asking.. haha.. Oh well, anyway Im glad for the time spent with you guys! *muakz* And btw, I still think Yakult bottles should be manufactured in bigger sizes *winkz*Orang Utan busy tryin to get electrocuted Gambir and his trainerThe extremely cute penguins looking like they were all dressed and standing at attentionChupa Chups :)

I just want a man who... :)


Some of the lines I liked :)
I don't want a man who ties me down
Does what he wants while I hang around
I don't want a man who's crude and loud
Wants a pretty wife to make him proud
I don't wanna man who can't be funny
Who tells tall tales about making money

I just want a man with a real soul
Who wants equality and not control
I just want a man good and smart
A really sharp mind and a very big heart
I just want a man not scared to weep
To hold me close when we're asleep
I just want a man who loves romance
Who'll clear the floor and ask me to dance
I just want a man who likes to sing
Makes up words when I play the strings
I just want a man who gives some back
Who talks to me and not my rack
I just want a man who likes to cook
To read my dreams and share my books

I just want man whose spirit is free
To hold my hand, walk the world with me

That's How You Know

Just for Geeta *winkz* Such a sweet song.. :)

Giselle:
How does she know you love her?
How does she know she's yours?
Man:
How does she know that you love her?
Giselle:
How do you show her you love her?
Both:
How does she know that you really, really, truly love her?
How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?
How does she know that you really, really, truly love her?
Giselle:
It's not enough to take the one you love for granted
You must remind her, or she'll be inclined to say...
"How do I know he loves me?"
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?)
"How do I know he's mine?"
(How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?)
Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind?
Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey? Heyy!
He'll find a new way to show you, a little bit everyday
That's how you know, that's how you know!
He's your love...
Man:
You've got to show her you need her
Don't treat her like a mind reader
Each day do something to need her
To believe you love her
Giselle:
Everybody wants to live happily ever after
Everybody wants to know their true love is true...
How do you know he loves you?
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you need her?)
How do you know he's yours?
(How does she know that you really, really, truly-)
Well does he take you out dancin' just so he can hold you close?
Dedicate a song with words in
Just for you? Ohhh!
All:
He'll find his own way to tell you
With the little things he'll do
That's how you know
That's how you know!
Giselle:
He's your love
He's your love...
That's how you know
(la la la la la la la la)
He loves you
(la la la la la la la la)
That's how you know
(la la la la la la la la)
It's true
He has to wear your favorite color
Just so he can match your eyes
Plan a private picnic
By the fires glow-oohh!
All:
His heart will be yours forever
Something everyday will show
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
Giselle:
He's your love...
Man:
That's how she knows that you love her
That's how you show her you love her
Giselle:
That's how you know...
That's how you know...
He's your love...

Strangeness

Strange isn't it, how different people can be.. So many different ways that a person can behave in.. The human mind is so strange.. Works in so many differing ways on different people.. So many contrasting characters, displaying multiple emotions and thoughts..

-There is the one who cannot appreciate the beauty of a sibling, who thinks the whole world owes her a living and that everyday must be a bed of roses for her..Who doesn't give two hoots that people with feelings live with her and who can't care less if her little sister has been putting up with her nonsense for years...

-There is the other sibling who keeps quiet and remains patient throughout for the sake of her mum although she gets so badly affected by the actions of the elder sibling

-There is the elder brother who thinks he is way above what everyone says and thinks and believes that his little sister is useless.. Who doesn't think twice about causing her harm by contaminating the wash she uses for her contact lenses

-The elder brother who hates his sister cuz she is loved by everyone else and decides to chop her hair off in her sleep

-Then there is the Dad who gives his daughter everything she wants and asks for and is the perfect father to her but at the same time denies the son anything he wants..

-Not forgetting the friend who selfishly screws up her friend's future claiming it's in her best interest

-Another friend who cries because she sees her friend hurt

-The guy who celebrates after getting the girl he wants, not realising that he is upsetting her and clipping her wings, disabling her from flying among the clouds like she used to..

-The guy who tells a girl he loves her like crazy only to prove otherwise when his needs aren't met

-Then there is the girl who was willing to do all she could to make the guy she liked smile, only to have him take advantage of her

-The guy who left a girl he loved so much cuz he felt he might hurt her by being with her

-The guy who cheats on his present girlfriend's best friend's friend and expects the best friend to adore him

-The family that treats one member with double standards yet complains when that member isn't close to them

-The parent that made the children lie so that the other parent wouldn't know..

-The guy who gave the girl wings and let her fly although he knew that she would only be able to fly from him and not towards him..

-The guy who was willing to lay everything down in front of the girl and not want anything from her except her love..

-The girl who could get all she wanted from one place but decided to sit and wait outside a door that never seemed to open up for her..

-The guy who could have all he would want and more in terms of love and affection, who would decide to let it go for several reasons

-The girl who would be confused by the words of a guy and remains being positive because of that guy although he may never return

Strange, isn't it.....



There are times when even the best of us have trouble with commitment, and we may be surprised at the commitments we're willing to let slip out of our grasp. Commitments are complicated. We may surprise ourselves by the commitments we're willing to make, true commitment, takes effort, and sacrifice. Which is why sometimes, we have to learn the hard way, to choose our commitments very carefully.
(Grey's Anatomy)


*Btw, don't bother trying to figure out who all these people are.. That isn't important..

SIA Diwali 07

Yesterday was pretty entertaining.. Went for the SIA Diwali Dinner and being volunteers for doing henna for the guests, Vasaantha and I managed to quite successfully do what we do best-embarrass ourselves.. From panicking each time someone started to choose their design, to trying our best not to screw up, to trying to pretend that we didn't notice that the bright flashes of the camera were there, to trying to act cool each time the video camera was focused on us, to even getting close to a marriage proposal from a Punjabi lady.. We never fail to amuse ourselves.. And the classic moment was when my Uncle gave us a grand entrance into the dinner hall by announcing the arrival of the '2 beautiful ladies' as he went past all the chairs to our table.. We could have dug a hole to bury ourselves.. And I have to mention how we spent a good ten minutes or so looking all over the hall where the food was served for the cutlery and then realised that it was on our table all along.. Oh well, haha, as idiotic as always, but we sure did have quite a memorable time, lugging around bags of oil and ghee *winkz*, right Vas? The dance floor, I shall not even mention, haha.. We were TOTALLY embarrassing oursleves in front of people we shouldn't have been.. Aiyo.. But oh well, it's over and Im praying we never see them around anywhere.. Or that everyone was too drunk to remember our spastic moments :)
I'm really considering the national library offer now.. Please please please God, let INVENT be available!! *fingers crossed*

Perfect

Im happy :) .. Just came back home after catching the 9.15pm show.. These are the times I'm thankful for the theatre nearby.. Last minute plans that turned out perfect.. All started with me craving for Oreo cheesecake and then I thought I would take Neleena with me when she came to stay the night and then it went one step further, whereby I started to consider the possibility of catching 'Enchanted'.. I was so upset when I heard she wasn't coming over anymore as I saw my plans come crashing down.. I called my aunty and told her all the plans I had visualised.. Being such a sweetheart, she brought her daughter over for me anyway cuz she knew I really wanted to catch the movie and somehow we all made it on time.. Early, in fact.. The highlight of course, was how Sailu so coincidentally called me as she was leaving Woodlands station by train and I was just on my way to buy tickets.. I remembered how she had wanted to catch it as well and asked her if she would like to join us..She actually hopped off the train and joined us for the movie...Soo cute! We then managed to get my Oreo cheesecake and split it among us and even had time for ice cream as well.. What more could I want? Nice company, a surprise appearance by Sai darling, the movie I had so eagerly awaited and ice cream and cheesecake to top it off! Perfect!!! :)

The movie was beautiful.. Full of joy and castles and princesses and happily ever afters.. Such a feel good movie and something that made us all smile.. Really sweet and nice.. Giselle was so cute
and pretty and her animal friends were adorable.. Not forgetting Pip and the antics of Edward.. :) Overall I liked it.. And I was just telling Neleena that it was something I wouldn't mind watching again with the little ones if they wanted to .. :)

Anyway, I'm a happy girl today :)

Clip from star singer

Ok for the rest of you reading this, just ignore.. Only Vasaantha, Sunitha, maybe Geeta and a few others would know why this is up... Haha.. Ignore the pronunciation of certain words.. :) It's from a malayalam programme so certain words may not sound accurate..

Haiz

I'm rotting away.. I want to go out.. Somewhere.. Anywhere..I am soooo bored.. It is highly depressing that nobody else seems available right now when I stopped working.. Oh well.. Too bad.. I just want to spend some time out of the house.. Not dinner or something.. But to go out.. Do something else.. Haiz..

Changes

I am in too much discomfort to think anymore.. I think I have no energy left to blog right now..Im on the verge of crying from the pain.. Going to lie down.. Sadly, the one who made me smile yesterday wasn't here today :) Oh well.. I hope all is well with you.. My darlin's singing was the one thing keeping me up tonight..haha. And as usual, he performed so effortlessly and impressively.. Sigh!! If only, if only he wasn't a mere figure on the TV screen... I could go on listening to his voice... :)

The karaoke session today was hilarious.. I have come to the decision that we all CA
NNOT sing.. Haha.. Everyone was just passing the mic around to each other not wanting to scare off people with their beautiful voices.. :) Vaarsha and I however had a better time chit chatting about High School Musical and the Bee Movie.. :)
Anyway got to go and check up on more henna designs right now before stones are hurled at Vas and me on Saturday.. If anyone is interested in a sixty dollar Diwali dinner, let me know, k? *winkz*

Changes.. They seem to come when you least expect them to but they affect you a whole lot more than you can ever imagine... And, adapting to them is the only solution.. What if you can't?

:)

I'm smiling again.. There is something about you that makes me smile inside. Thank you. For being yourself and telling me so many interesting things and happy events. :) All the best.

Choked

I wanna say stuff.. Alot of stuff.. But I really don't want to as well.. I'm so tired. So drained. Mentally and emotionally.. I have sooo much to let out but somehow I don't feel like it.. I feel like I should start thinking about myself.. I have to learn to..

Im just sooo numb right now. And super super sensitive and emotional so please don't even try talking to me now.. Haha.. Im going to sleep.. Nothing to look forward to tonight.. My darling isn't even singing tonight.. Haiz. At least that would have made my day..

Anyway Vic darling, I really hope you feel better soon and you recover quick.. Your cough was real bad but I never expected it to be this terrible.. Please please take your medicines promptly and start taking care of yourself a bit more.. Stop neglecting your health, ok? Get better quick and we can start our nonsense again, k? *muakz* love ya babe..

By the way, Vasaantha has an interesting way of eating cheese sticks.. Remarkable.. *winkz*

Okay then, Im gonna try to sleep now. I don't want to think and I think Im gonna die from all the bodyache.. Night!

Muddles

-I like how my dance classes get called off last minute although the teacher is still in school and we can make it for the lesson
-I like how I talk to someone regarding a job not knowing I'm talking to my cousin's future mother-in-law
-I like how I have 8 tickets and 4 people *winkz*
-I like how my uncle wants to follow me to meet someone on Sunday when he is flying off to Scotland on Friday
-I like how my aunty assumes we can do henna patterns effortlessly although we really cannot make it
-I like how I'm automatically expected to babysit the minute others have plans
-I like how I still haven't caught my Bee Movie although I was looking forward to watching it even before it started playing
-I like how an astrologer claims I have ego when it comes to God (I have no comments)
-I like how its harder to make people go for something that's free compared to something that needs to be paid for
-I like how my Uncle offers me a permanent position as an accountant at his office when firstly I have no financial background, secondly I hate numbers and thirdly I tried so hard to run away from that place
-I like the way how my uncle also later said the accounting position at his workplace has no potential for growth so maybe i shouldn't consider it (yay)
-I like how my mum and aunty make me apply for positions requiring technical expertise in shipbuilding industries despite the many times i keep telling them it's pointless
-I like how my application for relief teaching finally gets through now, when the students are on holiday
-I like how my life is such a muddled up mess and a whole bunch of contradictions.

Reflections

"A candle never loses anything when used to light another.."

A very familiar phrase.. Something that made me smile once.. Was just browsing through something that was so significant to me, something that I woke up to each morning :) Read the contents of it again, although it's been abandoned for some time already.. Some of the things made me tear again.. Some of the things made me smile but what was really sad was the change that's come about.. From someone whom I could turn to anytime for words of comfort, now i feel fear and a possibility of coldness. I guess maybe i asked for it, from that point of view cuz I had to change my ways, I had to stop caring and showing that I cared.. Cuz otherwise, I would have caused alot of hurt at the end.. I just didn't want that. I had to do what i did.. and the price now is possibly anger.. Oh well.. No matter how many times you keep saying no, I think I know you better.. I know the other side of you, the way you used to be..

Reading those things, certain lines were so disappointing cuz I truly believed them then.. How you would never leave and stand by for my best interests and support me all the way to my happiness.. Oh well.. I guess your situation was such as well.. And I suppose I had to make it harder.. Can't say anything.. Anyway, although things are waaaay different now from how they used to be, I just want you to know that Im happy for you and Im glad you've found your happiness :) Take care and don't overwork yourself.

Ridiculously random

I went to JB over the weekend and managed to try out having curls instead of straight hair due to the constant persuasion of mum and uncle. So I decided to try it out, although I felt the after effects left me looking like a poodle gone wrong .. Oh well.. not too obvious in the pics, though cuz the curls were disappearing by then.. My personal make up artist, what do you think? Haha :)

The pic isn't very clear but oh well...

Ok, i think that's enough of the nonsense ;) ....

On another note, met Lavin after his long field camp and although I never thought it was ever possible for Lavin to lose weight, considering how he has nothing to lose, he proved me wrong.. That boy shrunk.. Shocking, huh? Anyway, here is a snap since Geeta requested for one.. :)That's all for now :)
