Smart?


Woke up groggily and came to work. Was late... sleep early but still late. Yeah I know, No matter how much Sumitra sleeps she is still, always and forever sleepy. Tomorrow Raya holiday la so can sleep.

When I came to office, it was quite drama... Yes, 6 laptops have been stolen. The one sitting next to me lost hers. Thank god i always lock mine in the pedestal as i do not have lappy lock. Hence mine was saved.

The security guards are all indians. Sad case man ... CID came and was questioning everyone and also the INDIAN security guards. Taking reports and scouting for finger prints. For a moment I felt that I was in some CSI drama man! Quite interesting I should say.

But than again the whoever must be really dumb. Cause this has become a police case and this person is gonna be charged with trespassing and theft. SAD SAD... but more sad for the hardwork of my colleagues whose lappies have been stolen. They have so much info and best part is they never do a back up....

F1 and Dhool 08 is OVER


F1_ The Ultimate Craze

Yesterday night, everyone in my family was watching the F1 race on TV. The first ever night race held on city circuit. Erm, just fast cars wizzing by... nothing interesting for me... After watching for about 10 mins I was in bed with my lappy. I like cars but I don't really racing and cars...



Dhool 08_ Dance competition held on Vasantham

Finally no favourism at all. AEROCRATZ won. Unique style of song selection and dance. Simply awesome. This time there was no usual NUS, Anarchy 99 or Kali Dancers. Yes. A new era of dancers.

Maybe we should now look forward to The Singapore Youth Olympics 2010....

Torn!!!


I guess that its just ever so difficult to be torn between your family and your better half...

At times I feel so sorry for that person.. what mental torture. Life is such, never so easy to please everyone. All married gals out there, am I right to say so? Ya tell me...

Some things never change...



such as a man's love for his family.

Parents' teach us girls patience, love and harmony. We grew with so much of protection and love. I have always benn a daddy's girl. Yes, my dad is a hero and i adore him truly. He is a man who did not send my mom to work and insisted that only a mother can bring up her child best. My mom though educated stayed at home to look after me. On her part it is indeed a huge sacrifice. But she did it for dad and myself. On the other hand dad was not an egoistic man. He made sure as a man of the family he provided the best for his wife and his daughter. At that time, his salary was not that high but he was not hesistant to hold two jobs to support his family. And he gave the best to both wife and child. Men of those days.

Men of today... Loves his family too... not his wife but his mom and dad and siblings... no matter how much the wife has sacrificed for him.

FILIAL? TO.................

A day at HDB and IMM


Went as early as 9.30am for our appointment. Yes, our first appointment to sell our flat. Our love nest of 5 yrs has partially, officially belonged to someone else. Thats ok.

Alot of things have changed with HDB now. Our appt session took a real long time. By the time we finished it was lunch time. Finished about 1.30pm to be exact. We were famished. So many signing of papers to do. Our case was a little complicated coz we took a bank loan for our flat. Yes, DUMB la. You know at that time of marriage, where everything is so rushing, it was just too much for us to handle. With insufficient cash amount, we had to opt for a bank loan. And our agent also conned us. Not only that... we also did not do our home work properly.

But this time round, we did our homework properly and opt for HDB loan. I think we should move to our new place by end of Nov if our calculations are right. I hope HDG will make everything smooth. Thanks to HDG.

After settling the HBD stuffs, we made our way to IMM Jurong... I think this is the first time I am going to IMM... not sure if I am right but the place looks the least familiar to me.

IMM has a lot of household things. From renovation hubs to furniture shopping to electrical stuffs. Yes. We made some casual checks with renovation contractors. We quite like Chew Interior. Very sleek designs... we got sme quotations from them. After that went shopping for aircon. We thought of having aircon for the living room... but still contemplating! as there is no barrier between the living room and the kitchen....

CONTEMPLATING.....

Decision


I guess i have to put a stand somewhere. It as to come to a stop somehow. I have to open my mouth and talk. Yeah, if I keep thinking only and not talking, no way that the opposite party is going to understand or even come close to understanding -- ponders

I can't always be giving!! I have to take sometimes too. I guess its all in the game and it has to be a smart game if course. Coz what is it that is at stake? All these years of love, care and many many sacrifices!

Time heals all hurt but not always. Certain things stays fresh at the back mind. No matter what, they can never be erased. So before we do sometime or even before we say anything, we have to be double or triple sure that we are ready for the consequences.

One of the most beautiful lyrics I have come across in recent years...


Azhiyile mukkulikkum azhage
aviyile thathalikkum azhage
un kuleloadu vilaiyaadum kattraage urumaari
mundhanai madiyerevaa moochodu kudiyereva
un idaiyodu nademaadum udaiyaage
naan maari ennaalum sooderevaa
en jenmum edearevaa

Azhiyile mukkulikkum azhage
aviyie thathalikkum azhage
un vimmendre kannaththil
vimmendre nenchaththil ichchendru
idhal vaikkevaa ichchaikkor vilai vaikkeva
Un oom endre sollukkum vim endre sollukkum
ippodhe nadai vaikkeva
mounaththai kudi vaikkeva

Agum baadhi mugum baadhi paayum sugam meedhi
maraiththaalum marekkaadhe azhagey
adivaanum sivandhaalum kodippookkal parandhaalum
unnai pole irukkaadhu anbey
Adivaanum sivandhaalum kodippookkal parandhaalum
unnai pole irukkaadhu anbey

Azhiyile mukkulikkum azhage

The above is one of the most romantic songs I have ever heard in recent years. The lines are just simply so awesome. Make me wanna fall in love all over again!

Is it a Merry Day?


I think HDG is turning his eyes on me after a series of DOWNS... yeah only 29 many more wonderful years to come but I feel like I've been through alot. School, Teens, LOVE, Marriage, Life, Family and Work. Or is it just me.

At times I really regret alot of things. Alot of mistakes done cannot be undone. And to live with the mistake is a real pain. Or is it just me.

Does pain really change a person? Does pain bring a person real far in life? Does pain encourage hate? Does pain isolate oneself? Does pain drives a person to sucide? Or is it just me?
