So, we went to watch Wild Hogs on Wednesday. And it was, HILARIOUS!
Yes, very very funny. Those who haven see, please do go see it.
Today, i took cab to my tuition place and had an interesting conversation with the taxi driver. Firstly, he asked if there were any place in Yishun (my destination) selling durians. I don't reside there, so i said i had no idea. And, i was telling him, my place sells. He replied saying he knew cause he resided around the same area. Then he went on to tell me how to make durian gravy/sauce, very detailed mind you. haha. Also, extending it as how you can go about eating it, stating all the alternatives again with detailed explanation. Quite interesting.
He also said he couldn't buy a house near to the area which I was heading to, but he got it in
another area but still in Yishun. He sounded very young and from the back, well, he looked young. So i assumed, that he just got married and was getting a new house or was shifting house. But no, he said his daughter also got a house.
So i was like, "ok.. *pause for couple of seconds* huh, wait a minute, your daughter bought a house?"
Haha. Yes, this taxi driver whom i thought was newly married actually has a daughter who
bought a house. The best part, his daughter is 19 and she's married. Her husband is 23 yrs old. I was like oh my god, she's younger than me and married. Not that anyone who is younger than me shouldn't get married. But yeah..So i told him, it's interesting cause not many parents are quite supportive of early marriages. He went on, to tell me on how his daughter dropped out of school when she was Sec 3 and started working. And how her then-boyfriend approached the father and said he wanted to marry his daughter.
Also, on how the uncle (taxi driver) was and still is supportive throughout. I was quite
impressed. Though i have no idea how I will react in his situation. It's also good that his son-in-law and daughter are not with any bad company and actually lives with the girl's parents. Not bad. He mentioned that he tries his best to be supportive and also teach them responsibility at the same time. I wonder if most parents were to think like him, how many shotgun marriages/ suicides would we have prevented?
Yesterday, I received my test results for my previous term. I thought i would have failed or get a miserable average pass. But no, i got 77 out of 100. wooHOO! Though, its just adds up to 40%
of the whole module but still. Next, I'm just awaiting my final results which includes my project results! Hopefully I pass, then I would have one more final term before I finish my adv dip.
The boy has uploaded the pictures. So yeah, once again, ECP moments!
Before heading to ECP.
My big-eyed boyfriend.
Trying hard not to laugh. Lol.
Irritating Bf with a very roasted brown Gf.
Bliss. But, Im vertically challenged. sighs.
Deceived. He thought i was gonna kiss him. Hah. Dream on. :P
Waiting for the damned bus.
Woosh. Have you teared after hearing your bf give loads of kisses over the phone?
I have. I have no idea why i teared? haha.
Im still clueless. Maybe I dont like my bf giving me kisses? lol.
Maybe it's tears of joy? Lol.
Maybe Im depressed that he's giving me kisses? wakkaka.
Ok, bread with egg anyone?

wooo. and im back with a new skin. haha. well, i saw something which i didnt like at all, and it had something to do with my blogskin. So, decided to get a new one. But then, i realized my punctuation marks are infront of my sentence. Not all, the title and the last sentence. Its quite irritating, but im too lazy to go and change another blogskin.
Its interesting how people talk so much shit and then later calls and apologizes to you for their obvious rude behaviour and then later, deletes you off from friendster. wahahaha. Its really funny. Anyways, good riddance to bad rubbish. :)
The boy and i headed down to ECP like after god knows how long. and it was worth it! We saw many babygirls and cute dogs. Walked and walked to get a good seat but was too crowded. Finally, we saw one and sat there..and the place seemed too familiar. Turned around and saw the seat, that seat where he and i first sat on our first date. No wonder the place seemed too familiar. Without wasting time, we ran towards the seat. hahah, that feeling is irreplaceable. Did some cam-whoring and left for dinner. Komala's.. the first time where we had our dinner. U can say it was the whole re-enactment of our first date. Just that, we were holding hands, been through thick and thin for 2 years and grown fatter.
But only, the journey back home was terrible. We spent about 15-20mins getting the right bus to Eunos, but we missed the stop. We ended up getting down in Geylang. For a moment, i felt as if i was in Thailand. Thank god, the bus behind was going to Jurong East. We quickly got in but didnt know we were in for a ride of 1hr and 15mins. Sighs. In the end, we reached home at 1145pm. Mind you, we left ECP at 9pm!
Our ECP moments.

Ok, there's only two pics.. the rest are in his digi cam. heh.

Simply having children does not make mothers.
How true. Why this topic? No, i'm not pregnant. I came across a scenario today between a child and her mother today and it was rather disturbing. Thus, this topic. Ok, the child is none other than one of my p1 tuition kid.
Today, i had to go over to teach in the evening. When i reached, the kid's mother and her maternal grandmother was sitting in the living room together with the younger daughter and maid. I acknowledged the mother and went to the study room. 20minutes later, the grandmother left and the mother went to her room and closed the door. At my side, my student wasn't paying attention and was irritating the hell out of me. She started coughing, thinking something was irritating her throat i told her to go get a drink. But even then, it proved useless and i could hear wheezing sound. I suspected she was asthmatic but didn't want to ask her. I told her to drink more water but it still didn't stop and she had difficulty in breathing even.
She said she needed her medicine and told her to go ahead and take. She went to knock her mother's door and i heard her mom come out, call for the maid to take the medicine and went back to her room. The maid came in..gave the inhaler and all. After that, the mother didn't come out to check whether the child is alright or not. The younger child, went to knock on her mother's door and kept calling for her mother. She kept knocking for about 3-4 minutes..but the mother didn't open the door nor did she answer her daughter. The younger one did this 2 times, 15mins apart but no difference. Still, the mother didn't do anything. And, the rest was history. The girl kept saying she was tired, headache, sneezing. arrgh. i left early. oh, did i mention that the parents had a fight? ok, this info the maid told me.
I feel sad for the children. The father is working and sometimes dont even come home for the night. The mother is always on the phone. Everything depending on the maid. Ok fine, you had a fight with your husband, but what did your children do? Don't vent it on them. Can't you even come out and give your child the inhaler and some rub ointment? Or at least, come out and ask if she's ok?
My maternal instincts always work strong for me. I can vision myself taking care of my babies, but it will never be like the one above. I hope not at least. In my view, i think motherhood is the best. Pregnancy, morning-sickness, maternity clothes, swollen feet, less-than-an-arm's-length child. haha. Nope, im not experienced. But yeah, and experiencing parenthood, you can only bond and play with your child to a certain age. Once, they reach a particular age, you can no longer play with them, their friends will become closer, they will be at home less and they wont come and tell you what happens in school.
It's that particular phase of parenthood. Embrace that, be with your children as much as you can. For when that moment is gone, its gone forever. I hope i will never be in that situation.

Tamizh Puthandu Vazthukal En Iniya Tamil Makkalae!!
A Very Happy New Year to my fellow Tamilans, Machiz and Machans!!
Finally, our Tamil New Year has started. Hopefully, it will be a much more successful and happier year ahead. Ok, this is gonna be some real random post. I have many things which i want to blog about. So, its not gonna be in order. as i said, r.a.n.d.o.m.
Firstly, i dont understand why Vasantham Central is repeating dramas claiming as "brand new." They sound like SunTv. Seriously, and they are still deleting unnecessary parts. I'd rather watch Channel 03. About, Pradhana Vizha (ok la i know its old news), but seriously looking at the nominations, i was quite surprised with the nominations for the male singers. Why Shabir? Ok avid Shabir fans, Im not against him but as to on what basis was he nominated? The rest of the singers has sang for quite a number of tamil shows. But Shabir, he comes and sing once in a while. sighs. this is what happens when someone gets voted to be Vasantham Star out of popularity not by singing talent.
Secondly, I read Aarthi's latest entry on how this girl got molested or rape, either one. And the victim managed to catch him and also did a blog entry. Something like that. She was applauded for her courage, but some slammed her by saying she asked for it because of her skimpy outfit.
As for Aarthi, her personal opinion was girls do not ask for it when dressed up skimply.
Ok, my personal opinion is girls are not what they dress. Just because they are dressed up in mini skirts and tank tops with no bra on doesnt mean they sell their body. But, there's a difference in ways girls dress up. There are those who dress up because they like and are comfortable being in mini skirts and all. But there are those who dress to show their non-existant or unavoidable cleavage and whatever. My appeal to all girls why even myself, is that dress appropriately. If you want to wear skimply or at least dont sit or behave. Dont dress to invite trouble.
Thirdly, I'm a staunch believer of freedom speech. The same belief applies to blogging as well. I've been going on a blog hopping spree recently and i realized that there are a number of angsty bloggers. Im included in the group. But the line of difference is these people blog about dramas that go on in their lives. Ok fine, i agree that your life is filled with a many SunTv + Vijay Tv dramas. But then again, do go on ranting about it. But please, do not exaggerate or lie openly if u know there are chances of people getting to know the truth. Its really pitiful. And, if ur blogging a so-called sadist entry with evil plastered all over, and still think its logical/practical then stick by it. Do not run away or try to hide. If you think what you have blogged is right and logical and if there are people to slam or defame you, stand up to it. Its plain coward to just rant about this and that and in the end, run away when people are standing there pointing fingers at you.
Fourthly, its sad to know that someone hates you. But then again, you cant avoid it. Somehow or rather, you will have someone whom u dislike or more harshly, hate/despise. But what if, the list keeps increasing? Wont u tend to wonder whether its the person's fault itself? Especially if the person claims to be victim all the time.
Hmm.. anyways i was in a sugar high just now. Took 2 cans of redbulls within a period 1.5hrs. Lack of intelligence on my part, but heck, i love the sweetness. Influence by the loverboy.
I hate people who go on about how they would never do this in their life and how they make it seem like doing that thing is committing the biggest crime on earth. But then, a year later, you can see them bragging about them doing the very same thing they once 'despised.' Interesting. I dont know whether to call them attention-seekers, or followers. Just because their friends do, they do the same thing and even post pictures about it. hahah. Hilarious. As obvious as it seems, I've entertainers around me.
This is not an angsty entry. But if anyone wants to post their opinion, you are free to do so. :)
Please be original. Be yourself. Dont be a follower.
Cant wait for tom. :)

I'm in a blogging mood today.
heh. Thank God, i tried calling my lecturer again and i GOT him!! I don't have to go down and sign that damn form. heh. and i was worried whether my documentation got misplaced but no it did'nt! woo hoo! he was telling its alot. sadly yes. my source code itself took up 400 over pages. Sighs. Hope it gets paid off man.
It's 545pm now.. and i have tuition to teach at 730pm and i've not gotten ready yet. Im so lazy. i just want to stay at home and not do anything. especially 2 weeks of stress and 1 week of major stress. heh. Btw, i would like to thank those who helped me genuinely and those who helped me for the sake of helping.
and, after some friends who knocked some sense into me,
I realized,
its time for you to get out.
Too much good is bad afterall.
GoodBye.

OK!
I have finally completed my project. and ALSO submitted it. but the thing is, i did not submit to the lecturer himself as he was invigilating some exams. The other thing is, when we submit our project we have to sign the attendance form in order to signify that we have submitted. Sighs.
He will be only in school in the evening, But, i have tuition! So, as you can see, even though i've submitted the project, im still stressed! Furthermore, im not sure if he has received my documentation. Hopefully it doesnt get misplaced as it is in 2 parts. argh!
Moving on, the new seaweed range in BodyShop is fabulous!! Plus, to those who use the shower gel in BodyShop has to definitely try the BrazilNut shower cream!! It doesnt foam that much unless you use it with the shower sponge but it smells great! But the seaweed range is for combination/oily skin.
The love and i headed down to Plaza Singapura on Sat to catch his much awaited movie "The Reaping." It was a good movie but it left me with many questions reeling in my mind. But it was a much needed break for me, breaking away from the stress. Been neglecting him alot and venting my frustrations on him. He dont deserve it. Hope u understand, baby. :)
Recently, I realized that i have been getting real angsty. Like really really angry. I still can't put my finger as to why im reacting like that. I guess i need to start going for yoga class. Been neglecting it because of my project.
Yesterday, met up with my bestie like god knows after how long. I guess i entertained her by just making her stand infront of my bookshop for 15mins. She should know why. hahha.
Btw, there's some really irritating photo album virus. Firstly, it was in my bf's comp. Now its in my comp!! It goes around messaging pple saying that I've created a photo album and there's some nude pics!! oh god!
Hopefully i get to sign that damn form. sighs.
