The eternal optimist in me had made fabulous plans to blog all the huge moments of Felix's arrival and his first few months, as and when things occurred. Obviously, things did not quite go according to plan and all I've managed to do was post a piccie of Felix and Jason (see below).

Well, I have finally found the chance today to blog a bit. (Read: Felix is sleeping and I'm not passed out next to him.)

Christmas Day
I woke up at 8 on Christmas morning to pee for the16 millionth time during my pregnancy. Being the grumpy pregnant late night owl, I quickly plonked myself back in the bed when I was done, only to shoot straight back up again cause I felt the "Bloody Show". No, not a drama nickname I've given to what I experienced but the actual medical term for it.

I told Jason the baby was coming, and he shot straight up as well and started saying "Let's go to the hospital" over and over again. I wasn't convinced at first but when there seemed to be a little more blood, I caved.

We checked in at 9-ish at the Hospital and were checked out at 11-ish because I was 0 (not even an-ish) dilated. As we were sent off, my doctor happily said "See you in 2 days!".

So there was nothing for us to do, but go home and wait.

Christmas Night
I can't remember what happened that afternoon, I guess we were just too anxious, but late afternoon, I decided a movie marathon would be best to pass time. So that's what we did, we watched "Love Actually", "Home Alone 2", "Die Hard" and "Batman Begins". Jason likes to say the movie choices got steadily more violent as the pain increased. I think it was somewhere between "Home Alone 2" and "Die Hard" that my contractions started and we started timing the length and gaps between. Only way to describe the contractions - worse period pain ever. Jason was so sweet and gave me back rubs and made sure my hot water bottle was there to ease the aches.

Boxing Day
At 230 in the morning, we realized that the contractions were only a few minutes apart, and decided to check in again at the Hospital. 230 to 930 was a blur of pain, falling in and out of sleep. I got a shot of painkiller/anesthesia (I didn't care what it was, so long as it reduced my misery before my scheduled epidural.) The epidural shot was awful. It took 4 tries to find the right spot, and the first 3 tries hurt pretty bad. Unfortunately, I'm one of those people for whom an epidural doesn't work 100% :S. I could still feel most of the pain of the contractions.

[Movie myth busted - in the movies when the doctor checks how many cm dilated the poor gal in labour is, the female actress never ever shows how painful/uncomfortable the check actually is. It is, oh it is.]

At 2 in the afternoon, I was fully dilated and the pushing process started. Here, I must say that I surprised myself (and Jason) by not swearing at all, but I think I was pretty noisy. I kept apologizing after screaming/moaning though. The pushing process is really not as simple as people yelling "Push!" at regular intervals and you pushing. There were so many instructions being yelled at me simultaneously by the midwives "Push!", "Think of Baby", "Look at your tummy!", "Spine down", "Pull the bars on the bed!". It was havoc. Once I was able to process all the things I had to do when pushing, the midwife tried to encourage me by saying that I was doing a great job and that a few pushes more I'd be done. In all that havoc, the eternal optimist in me was reawakened and I literally told myself, "3 pushes and I'll see baby!". I was wrong.

After half an hour of pushing, my doctor told me that we weren't progressing as well as I should and so he'd be using a vacuum to assist the delivery, Felix arrived not long after that. He was a screamer. The midwives immediately placed him on my chest, and he stopped screaming or crying, and just looked at me with his massive eyes, and he had me, I was in love. His face as he stared at me is burned in my memory.

The vacuum, and I mean this so much, sucked. Though very grateful that Felix arrived safe and sound, it resulted in a burst blood vessel for me. I was in excruciating pain, and couldn't sit or lie flat.Since it wasn't visible, nobody knew why I was crying and moaning and just thought I was being a baby about the usual aches and pains from giving birth. After I begged Jason to ask the midwives to give me something to knock me out, they finally got it that I wasn't just being a baby and that I was in serious pain. The doctor was called and he discovered the burst blood vessel. He then (Hallelujah!) gave me something to stop the bleeding and to help with the pain

I was then taken to the maternity ward. We stayed for 3 nights. An extra night cause I was still in pain, and an extra extra night cause Felix had slight jaundice. A lot of it is a blur now, but I remember being so comforted by the fact that our loved ones were there to see us and how incredibly happy I felt when Felix was brought to me later. Whenever he was taken to the nursery, I would listen for the sound of the baby cots being wheeled cause I'd be hoping it was Felix for me.

It really is all about them now :)

2011-12-27T08:49:00.000+08:00

Not happy.

2011-12-10T09:27:00.001+08:00

Me: *exorcist vomiting*.
Next morning.
Me: I want kuih kak.
J: No. No parking.
:(

Papa and Mama waiting...

2011-11-29T17:08:00.001+08:00

Felix Teoh... one day you will read this post. Please take note that your father and I would wait 3 hours to see a Doctor to see a blur black and white photo of you for 3 minutes. You better be a good boy.

56 more days!

2011-10-28T19:30:00.000+08:00

That's the number of days I have before my due date, (assuming I don't opt to induce the baby or have the baby early) Yikes!

We have not crossed off anything from our to-buy-for-baby list yet. We cleared the area in our room where we plan to have baby sleep today though. :)

I love feeling his little kicks and wriggles in my tummy, but I don't feel like a mummy yet. I have some battle wounds already but I still feel like a kid too. I hope he looks like his Papa.

I have had quite a recent bout of awful luck and had to encounter all 3 in 3 separate nasty incidences with 3 individuals I've had the ill fortune to bump into, deal with briefly and deal with for far too long. I am glad to be a Buddhist as I can always console myself knowing that these 3 deserve what they are going through now and will only have much much more to go.

Ah my love, my iPhone

2011-10-13T18:37:00.001+08:00

How do I love thee. Let me count the ways...

Taking the Phi-ss.

2011-09-28T17:36:00.002+08:00

Today, J was looking at my older entries and got me looking through some of them too. I forgot so many of them!

I came across my old '08 entries on Phi Phi Island, and they've got me thinking how bad the island now is. :(

Tonsai Bay (don't believe Google Images) - I renamed Pangsai (Hokkien for Shit) Bay. The whole stretch was littered in crap!

Bamboo Island - Jason and I actually screamed in the Public Toilets. Every cubicle had something Freddy Krueger horrible in it e.g. used tampon in a soap dish.

Thai Hospitality - Apparently now reserved for Chavs/Chavettes from the UK who spend 80% of the day stinking of beer. We saw two Chavettes smoking knee deep in the sea, then one Chavette actually runs up to the beach to put out her cigarette. With. Her. Foot. She then topped it off by covering the cigarette butt she left behind with sand. Yup. Such class! The other Chavette probably just chucked her cigarrette butt into the ocean which would then float with the rest of the debris that you will find simply floating in the sea surrounding Phi Phi Island.

The Chinese Cometh - Yes, I'm a Malaysian of Chinese descent and therefore I should feel some kinship for them. But, no. No, I don't. I really don't. I felt like punching the locals who burst into Mandarin at me.

Never-endings.

2011-09-15T18:09:00.005+08:00

I saw the series finale of Entourage yesterday, and I must say, dismal. How could it end like that? There was barely any chemistry between Vince and his Brit Fiancée. Very forced. I liked that Ari and wife reunited but the way E and Sloane got back together was really dodgy. I could envision their plane emergency landing somewhere in the Pacific Ocean cause Sloane decided that E sleeping with her ex-stepmother was as gross as it in fact is and decided to do a murder suicide.

2011-09-14T14:57:00.001+08:00

I made one one of my many many many visits to the Babycentre website today and got all emotional cause I was watching a baby's progress video and realised that I'm already 25 weeks pregnant and felt sad that the past 24 weeks whizzed by and Baby's grown so fast... Yikes. Hormones kicking in at last? Really felt like I want to keep Baby in there.

Sucking Up

2011-09-12T19:19:00.001+08:00

Sigh, one of the many things uni does not prepare us for is living in a the-client-is-always-right-world.

Today I experienced a I-wanna-shove-a-stick-as-wide-as-the-world-up-his/her-ass-client.

Ah well.. just have to suck it up. :(

Oh yes, forgot to add that I also had an AHA! moment when I realised Marnie from True Blood was Aunt Petunia from Harry Potter! At last understanding why I kept thinking Fiona Shaw looked so freaking familiar. Love how she has switched from anti-witch/wizard to witch.

More Pottermore Please!

2011-09-09T18:41:00.001+08:00

Like any self-professed nerd would, I signed up for Pottermore with the very first of them.

After what felt like ages to a Harry Potter nut like me, I got my Welcome Email yesterday. I've spent 3 hours on the website already and whilst there is room for improvement (it is just in its BETA version after all), I'm so not even 0.001% done with my visit to the website.

Since one of my major fantasies/goals-in-life is to visit The Wizarding World of Harry Pottter in Orlando Florida and buy myself a wand, it is of course no surprise that my favourite thing about the website so far was the trip to Ollivanders - answer 7 questions and get your own wand.

My wand is made of sycamore wood, has a phoenix feather core, 10 inches and is slightly springy.

Of course, the major attraction to Pottermore in the first place was the fact that the amazing Ms. JK Rowling is giving us lots of background on the stories.

The information she has provided on just the type of wand woods alone is freaking awesome. To think that she could have chosen to make even more money by publishing a book "written" by Ollivander, just makes me worship her more.

As I'm a lawyer and am therefore terrified of being sued for the hassle it will most certainly entail, I'm not gonna cut and paste the information she has placed on her website regarding wand woods or cores. I just love it that sycamore wood wands combust if allowed to become "bored", which is so me.

The day that I spontaneously combust in my office is surely on its way.

We so excited! We! We! So Excited!

2011-09-08T16:47:00.003+08:00

The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale is baaaaaaack!

Earlier than last year! Only had to wait 10 months or so.

So excited to grab my little baby boy some soft toy books (I'll get books for 0-12 months cause ), and use my baby bump to guilt people out of my way. Do wonder if it'll be harder to carry my box with my belly in the way though.

Hahaha... no fear. I will plunder through anyway! I believe in the power of my Carebear pose. It has been effective in getting me parking spaces etc. when much smaller.

I think J will accompany me. JX is in... after his disappointing performance last year, I'm sure he'll be back for vengeance despite SPM a month later. Last year, the silly fellow went into too-many-books-don't-know-what-I-want-shock syndrome and got 3 books only. Hahahaa...

The Absentee Blogger Strikes Again!

2011-09-07T23:06:00.002+08:00

It's been so long since I last blogged, I'm not even gonna try to excuse myself. Or am I?

Well since my last post, I have done the following:-

Got the keys to my new house.
Got a contractor and oversaw 2 months worth of renovations. This includes time spent picking tiles, fittings, wall colours etc. etc. (Hmm... why do I sound like I'm drafting a bill for my client?)
Got legally hitched by getting registered on 30.10.2010.
Had my wedding dinner on 21.11.2010. This includes having all my little pre-wedding dramas.
Had my first home break in. Lost my laptop.
Machine washed my 500gb external hard drive without losing any files! (I'm still using it, please bow to the power of Western Digital. Once it dried up after a month or so, it was good to go.)
Celebrated CNY in Penang with J's family for the first time ever.
Learned how to make Teoh Chew Kuan Chen.
Turned 28.
Got knocked up. :)
Puked for 2 months via mouth and nose. (No, not sexy.)
Thought of lots and lots of girl names... and found out I'm having a baby boy!
Celebrated J turning 30 today!

So, I think its fair to say that I have excused myself, non?

So very much.

2010-06-15T10:59:00.002+08:00

I love my fiancé.

Aww... this poor blog of mine.

2009-12-02T22:06:00.000+08:00

I have not been updating, was thinking of stopping.

Got all nostalgic today though (so many old posts and stuff) so I decided to post now.

What a looooooooooooooooooooong day. I had a hearing, moved office, had a loooooong meeting and had Korean food for the first time ever (Yes, yes, I don't know what rock I just came out from :)).

I also recently got a major haul of books at the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale. Haha.. RM208 but I scored 25 books!!! That's less than 10 bucks a pop!

To top it ALL off, I got an early christmas present from Kevin - Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - the deluxe heirloom edition. I'm sooooooo thankful for it. :))))))))))) Taking mini bites out of it, I don't want to finish it all at once.

Everything and nothing...

2009-10-11T20:18:00.000+08:00

You can have everything but still feel like you have nothing.

You can have nothing and feel like you have everything.

Which one are you? I know which one I am. :)

Reasons To Love Him More

When filling up a form today, he listed "Children's Future" as No 2 out of 5 in terms of priority! :)

spit please.

2009-07-09T13:05:00.003+08:00

Haven't blogged in ages.

Can't believe I left an old man sitting in a tree on my blog for so long.

Work has sort of consumed my life, and my weekends seem to whiz by ..

I've taken MC for today and I sure needed it.

I don't know when I'll pick up the momentum here, but I hope I can again soon.

No wonder she looked so familiar

2009-05-06T22:40:00.001+08:00

... She was in True Blood!

I'm gonna find pipes just like those, and stick that right there too!

Thou shalt not watch E!Online only.

2009-05-06T22:21:00.005+08:00

I've got to watch National Geographic once in awhile. I only knew about the last 2 wolverines, not the 1st! Hahaha.. Terrible.

it's not just wishful thinking...

2009-04-21T21:34:00.002+08:00

Nick wishes he had that many hats,
I wish I had that many DVDs. :)

hmmph...

This is what happens when people are too tired but stay up talking anyway...

2009-04-12T00:35:00.003+08:00

J: What do you think a female aligator is called?
LH: Aligatrix?

LH: What's a female zebra called?
J: Don't know.
LH: ZeBRA la!
J: What's a male zebra then?
LH: ZebLAN!

J: Female platypus?
LH: Platypussy!

Hahaha.. I wish we were more intellectual in the middle of the night.

It almost popped!

2009-04-09T23:21:00.001+08:00

This post is totally random. Inside joke. :)

Ron Arad's a genius!

2009-04-03T21:09:00.001+08:00

He really has to put this in the market. I'm sure people would buy this. I would! I would!

Hmm... who would I kill for the library, the books and the puppy?

2009-03-29T01:13:00.001+08:00

AWwwwWWwwWWwwWwww....

The world's smallest mail service! Super duper cute!

I want these on my wedding cake!

When are you getting married?

2009-03-25T21:55:00.004+08:00

Hmm... the most ubiquitous question lately.

Andy Lau is marrying his girlfriend of TWENTY FOUR years.

Right, I'm not planning to get married tomorrow or anything but

years... Wahliaowei.

The only redeeming thing is, Andy Lau is freaking handsome lah... so lotsa incentive to wait, I guess. :S

In the meantime, I just discovered this LOVELY LOVELY blog about wedding stuff!

Courtesy of Rolcats!

2009-03-24T20:59:00.001+08:00

Cease your protests, the deal is done! You are to make a fine wife for uncouth American businessman!

Totally meleleh for this phone!!!

2009-03-23T22:12:00.002+08:00

Self explanatory... haha

2009-03-11T23:36:00.000+08:00

Alamak.

2009-03-10T20:10:00.003+08:00

Sigh. I just realised that the laptop I bought comes with a backlit keyboard version. I wish I had gotten that. :(

It's really hard to type sometimes, and I am not an amateur touch typer...

Sigh.

It would be so much easier... DAMMIT.

Disgusting

2009-03-10T19:13:00.002+08:00

I really hope that Rihanna cancels her concert so I can have my money back.

I just read the LAPD Officer's Affidavit at E!Online and I'm really shocked at how Chris Brown is still nominated for the Kids Choice Awards, I'm also shocked that she could take him back, is this how much self-respect she has?

I don't want to take my brother to see her concert. I don't think he should ever think that it's okay to beat a girl.

Speaking of other things I don't want my brother to become, please see Kelvin Ng.

This assh*le was actually on Fly FM and speaking trash about his wife. If the things he said were true, why kneel 10 hours for forgiveness? Jerk.

I've wanted to post this picture for ages.

2009-03-09T21:19:00.001+08:00

Wo..

2009-03-09T17:21:00.001+08:00

I thought Harriet Po (yes, my laptop's got a nerdy name) had to be sent in for fixing. Scary.

The dawn of a new era...

2009-03-08T01:53:00.002+08:00

Yeay! I bought myself my very first laptop!

I wanted a Sony Vaio desperately cause it's oh so pretty.

BUT after shopping around I found me my new pet...

Just as pretty but way better specs... nyahahahaha

just me and my conspirancies

2009-03-07T00:57:00.004+08:00

Q:Why would Rihanna forgive Chris Brown?

A:Duh... He has naked and/or sex pictures and/or vids of Rihanna!

This is for Nick who wanted to see Dr Manhattan in his full glory. :)

I can't believe I spent 2 hours and 40 minutes in the cinema!

Was it like "oxygen turned to gold"?

Well, the answer is no.

OMG

2009-03-05T22:39:00.002+08:00

Hahahah I must seriously stop randomly googling my name or IC number.

The first time I did it, I was in Bristol, it was my third year in uni, and PTPTN had decided I was a loan defaulter. So there it was my name, my IC number under the heading "something-something PTPTN loan defaulter" in Malay.

I just did it again, and dammit, I found this.

One thing though, it had a really ugly cover.

Here's the cover it had.

Melanie Berliet wrote an article "Plastic Surgery Confidential" for Vanity Fair, and she managed to brilliantly describe exactly how she feels (as I do) about plastic surgery

I’ve always thought of plastic surgery as a wealthy, distant relative—

one I don’t want to know now,

but on whom I might have to rely someday.

2009-02-10T21:13:00.002+08:00

Tadaa! The Exhausted Garlic Peeler!

2009-02-05T21:48:00.004+08:00

My mom is a kitchen appliance nut. She's got 3 different fruit juicers etc. etc.

But most recently she bought herself a garlic skin peeler ---> basically a rubber tube in which you put a couple of cloves of garlic in, then you rub the tube in your hands till the skin comes off.

Anyway, the box had the best lines I'd seen in quite some time.
The exhausted garlic does not injury, rips the garlic skin such to be simple
Time-saving reduces effort, to be quickly convenient
This product uses the import high polymer elastic silica gel material to make environmental, wear-resisting, but the elder uses. The outward appearance is novel, the easy to operate, compared to the manual exhausted garlic skin quick several fold, the exhausted garlic does not injury, reduces effort quickly. Uses digs up the principle dry, does not need the water and electricity, does not need to service, is the family, the restaurant, the hotel, the cafeteria and so on exhausted garlic good helper!
Will do the big garlic cloves to put in the mysterious garlic rosser, then the keep flat on the tabletop, back and forth rolls from the fingertip to the palm with the strength 360 degrees rubs several seconds, hears after the sound, the garlic skin falls off, the exhausted garli skin relaxed, is rapid, is clean, in the hand will not have the unusual smell, the finger will not be stimulated by the garlic juice.

Jargon...

2009-01-16T16:11:00.001+08:00

At a conference of sociologists in 1977,

“Love” was defined as “the cognitive-affective state characterized by intrusive and obsessive fantasizing concerning reciprocity of amorant feelings by the object of the amorance”?

Do you think you feel that?

Tonight, on a very special re-cap episode...

2009-01-11T17:42:00.006+08:00

I just celebrated my 3rd year anniversary with Jason, we stayed at G Hotel in Penang. (Here's a tip: The cheaper "Superior Room" is much nicer than the "Deluxe Room".) So it's official, he's the longest lasting bf I've ever had... and probably the last bf I will (or want to) have. (Muax!)

I've got tickets to see Rihanna!!! Wheee... :)

I'm treating my brother to his first concert and will be going to watch it with Jason, Nick, Arch and Winnie. Nyahahahaha!

I can't wait to shout "-ella! ella! ella!" with the rest of the crowd. :)
I also can't wait to hear Jason shout "Justice Rider!" when it's "Just ain't right!"

I also managed to get a cute lil' blue dress from Topshop, 50% off! Perfect to wear to the concert. (If I can tahan and not wear it until then. :P)

CNY is just round the corner, I would go shopping for more clothes but the shops in the malls are just blasting those awful bastardized CNY songs right now... so not conducive for shopping.

What else... hmm... well work is work.

Blink and it's over.

2009-01-05T22:23:00.002+08:00

I've been counting down to my sister's wedding for more than a year. Got very used to my countdown showing 3 digits, then 2, and all of a sudden it was 0.

It was good. She looked wonderful. He looked happy. That's all that matters really.
So that's all I shall say too.

Supermassive Black Hole

2008-12-19T21:53:00.004+08:00

Hahahah.. I didn't wanna update so soon as I seriously like having Rob Pattinson's mug on my blog.

Hahahahah... My obsession has only gotten worse thanks to reading the 4 books. I am now reading the leaked draft of Midnight Sun, the 5th book (which is the 1st book from Edwards point of view.

I really really really hope and pray that MIDNIGHT SUN is saved and comes out soon! I'd so buy it anyway. I'm dying to buy the box set but it's all sold out. It's even better than the 4 books, as I prefer to see things from Edward's point of view. Duh. What girl doesn't wanna know what her dream guy is thinking???

Anyway apart from the books, I really like this song "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" by Iron and Wine. The lyrics take some deciphering and I think it'd be really brilliant for an English Literature class, cause the number of interpretations could be endless!

I was a quick wet boy
Diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
And when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map
And called for you everywhere

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big pill looming

Now I’m a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain stream

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, grounded bleeding
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big pill, stuck going down

(The whole time I wrote this entry I kinda wished I was not born in 1983... I'm far too old to be obsessing in this manner :P Thus the title of this entry: The name of a song from the Twilight movie soundtrack and also where I wish I could hide while making Gollum like sounds at Rob Pattinson's photo.)

2008-12-07T16:56:00.003+08:00

I haven't been induced into squealing "OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!" by the mere physical appearance of an actor in a long while but... seriously... Robert Pattinson is so friggin' ... no words to describe. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!

Also making Nick and Jason watch it with me, was revenge for them making me watch, inter alia, Final Destination 4, Rush Hour 3, Kids and 9 songs.

I am secretly partial to the film.

I so need this now that I don't have a bedside table.

Funny.

A coin has to be inserted, for this lamp to switch on. So smart.

Just cause I know Nick would like this.

Heh?

I'm totally confused. If Jenny Humphrey designed those clothes herself, and someone burnt her samples, shouldn't she be able to make them again? What's up with the crying and sobbing? Hmmph... I guess in the end any story line with Jenny Humphrey wouldn't be that great. Ditto with Dan, the most self-righteous character to grace any TV screen.

I'm gonna hug you and kiss you and love you forever (and never use you up)"

Below is a bunch of random thoughts swimming around in my head...

2008-10-27T23:43:00.006+08:00

I've got the evil "sleepy all the time" virus. A virus that I used to get whenever exams were around the corner. Except now, I don't have exams, just work.

Which sucks cause there's no end to work.

Which scares me... why do I equate work with exams?

Exhaustion

2008-10-16T22:28:00.001+08:00

Fatigue (also called exhaustion, lethargy, languidness, languor, lassitude, and listlessness) is a weariness caused by exertion. It can describe a range of afflictions, varying from a general state of lethargy to a specific work-induced burning sensation within one's muscles. It can be both physical and mental.

Beautiful...

My memory might be fuzzier than it ought to be, but it still feels like yesterday that we were ...

... holding hands on an escalator in an Underground Tube Station;
... studying in the garden with a barbie in the background;
... whizzing down our bikes after work at Subway;
... being silly on a patch of grass in a pretty park;
... wandering around in Bath;
... chitchatting away till its 4am;
... cuddling and watching "how clean is your house" in our house;
... giving each other quick pecks on the cheek on the dance floor;
... packing and unpacking after our little trips;
... sitting next to each other in CLP classes...

I'm so lucky to be in love with my best friend. :)

After being put through the Bar Council's Professional Standards Course twice, I certainly wasn't alone, when I felt that the exam lacked a lot.

a lot, A LOT, A LOT.

After this article came out today, I just felt I had to ask,

why? WHY? WHY?

I was especially frustrated by this statement "the deteriorating standards of the legal profession".

As someone who has only just dipped her little pinky toe in the pool that is the legal profession, I can't help but shrug and sigh each time I hear this oft repeated statement. How much more discouraging can a statement be?

Is it my fault that I came into being in 1983? Who can I blame? My uni? I studied like everyone else, did the standards in my uni drop? Is my degree not as good as someone else born in 1973? Do I lack moral values? Did I not read Aesop's fables? *frustration*

Well, I suppose I could prove them wrong.

I think that this starts with having the guts to admit that I'm an idiot, when I'm an idiot.

The story of the judge not being able to see or hear an improperly dressed lawyer before him, is one that has been repeated to me and any other chambering student (who got called recently and who ain't lying), as often as that evil statement.

Merder Murder Spoiler Alert

Seriously? Seriously?! WHY? WHY?! Just leave them alone already!!!

Rose pregnant? Why SHONDA why? Please tell us that its just a brain tumour that's causing the pregnancy tests to read positive. Pleeeeeease.

Grey's is hurting me. Its hurting me bad.

[Hahaha.. why am I so drama?]

Just saw the rest of the premiere teaser... WTH does EVERYONE have to have some near death experience? If so... do it to like George/Rose lah! Not the characters I like.

2008-09-05T22:28:00.005+08:00

I just watched the first episode of Season 2 of Gossip Girl, and the first 2 episodes of the new 90210. Who wins? GG of course! I mean Blair bagged herself a LORD! Although I didn't actually like him till the Brit accent came out! Haha...
[Too much Judith McNaught lately!]Chuck is still onz... but no accent. So Lord Marcus Beaton wins!

There's something missing from 90210. It's just not doing anything for me. Too many anorexic looking gals. I know, I know "thin is in"... but come on... the shoulder blades were a-popping! Not attractive. [S and B look so much better in their also much better wardrobes.]

Also... in 2008, do we really want a central character called Annie? Naomi (another character on 90210) also looks like a 30 year old stipper :S

OH! I also just figured out that the girl who acts as Silver in 90210 played a mormon girl in Grey's!!! Hmmm... quite a good flip from goody-goody to weird bitchy outcast.

I also watched True Blood... seriously iffy. Vampire Bill super gorgeous, lots of kinky risque stuff BUT such stereotypical Mississippi hickyness! Also I don't like Anna Paquin anymore. Just 40 minutes of the show, and I don't like her anymore!

I also couldn't sleep the other night, and was just thinking of different themes for dinners I would love to attend, and one of them was "Fairy Tales" I just saw that the coming KL BAR dinner is in fact that theme! So yeay! Can go as myself, one of the Three Little Piggies! Oinkz.

*edited.

I forgot to say, I was sooooooooo happy to hear the old 90210 theme song play again! Its like I had some weird fuzzy warm feeling of ye good ol' days!

After joining Facebook, I've pretty much abandoned Friendster. Tonight I just decided to sign in and have a look at what's going on in there, and was really surprised not to find it abandoned by everyone else I know too. I guess not everyone can abandon things for new shiny ones as easily as I do. :S

Anyway, I stumbled on someone's note, and realised that this dude has really changed. The last image I had of this person was lepak-er to the max. Now he's into politics! He even became a member of a political party. I mean this guy was seriously seriously a lepak-er.

Of course I am surrounded by lots of people who are into politics, just that this guy was such a (wait for it) lepak-er! Ah well..

I wonder if people stumble on my Facebook/Friendster/Blog and think I've changed, cause I pretty much feel like the very same person I've always been.

I also had a great chat with my sis last night. Full of hot goss' re: scrounging and bitter denial.

Ooh-ooh I also want to say that I am now a devout of the temple of Martha Stewart! Cause after the lantern entry, I went to her website and now subscribe to at least 6 different newsletters! Hahah.. I'm such a nerd.

I also have to declare here that (by no recommendation from Nick at all) I saw the preview to True Blood today, on my own, and am downloading the first episode, of my own initiative. I think I'll love it, the preview intrigued me. I always liked Anna Paquin. Vampire/loving seems to be a hot genre at the moment, no?

I seriously wanna make this!

Hmm... I really want an apartment/condo/small house. Based on the current housing loan interest rates, the economy, and the rate at which I buy shoes versus my pay, I'll have a house in 2030... never.

So what shoud a gal do? Well, I've been reading all my favourite design blogs, and sighing dreamily for the past 48 hours. Amongst the gazillion beautiful things I found and really want(Read: Eames Hang-It-All!), I saw this cool Martha Stewart DIY project, which I think would be brill for an apartment balcony, or for framing off an area in any room.

Both images from Martha Stewart

“Geometric topiaries"

Light Columns How-To
1. Purchase a bamboo stick or dowel that’s 6 feet long and 1 inch in diameter. Drive the pole deep into the ground until it’s solidly anchored. Run a 50-bulb string of lights up one side of the pole and down the other, securing it with masking tape.
2. Stack paper lanterns (ours were 14 inches in diameter) over the stick. Secure the lanterns to each other with tape. Note: If you intend to place these fixtures by a swimming pool, it is imperative that you plug the lights into GFCI outlets and use extension cords approved for outdoor use.”

Alamak.. leaving PP soon. Just an hour before I gotta get on that ferry back to Ao Nang for our last night. *sniff sniff*

Been so happy that time has just zipped by. This time we did manage to take more photos, so giant pats on my back. :)

We really lucked out with brilliant accomodation here, only RM45 a night... Hmm..rather than drone on about my holiday here (when I'll be doing that in person)... I think I should stop here, and talk to Jason who's again holding onto his bottle of beer and smiling goofily at passersby.

Sawadeekaaaa !!!

2008-08-18T14:30:00.002+08:00

We're now in Phi Phi Island (Jason's hugging his bottle of Chang beer and grinning cause its only RM3.50) and I'm blogging from our hotel, The White. Very Santorini-esque, heehee... all white!

So happy when I saw the water from the ferry, very blue as I hoped.

The weather has been very kind though Jason and I both have completely burnt shoulders.

I also fell asleep during my first Thai massage, too nice la...

I'm also sporting (kesiannya sudah chipped) barbie pink finger nails, and black toenails thanks to Krabi mani/pedis that only cost RM30!!! Planning to go again today!

Okla.. enough blogging.. more holidaying on the way

Hasta la vista!

Improve your vocabulary with the Mean Girls DVD :)

2008-08-11T21:04:00.003+08:00

The Mean Girls DVD contains the following interstitial program:

Regina: We do not have a clique problem at this school.
Gretchen: But you do have to watch out for "frenemies".
Regina: What are "frenemies?
Gretchen: Frenemies are enemies who act like friends. We call them "frenemies".
Karen: Or "enemends".
Gretchen: Or friends who secretly hate you, we call them "fraitors".
Regina: [rolls eyes] That is so gay.
Karen: [gasps] What if we called them "mean-em-aitors"?
Regina: [scoffs]
Gretchen: No, honey, it has to have the word "friend" in it.
Karen: Oh...

Neeyama... #$)@#@)$$&!!)#!@#*

I was a little bit suspicious when I went to the store in BVII and saw that the bikinis were made in Thailand... but then I put them on and I was in love.

Yes, it was RM99, but I thought "So pwetty!". (Black and white striped halter string bikini!)

So now its in a cute pink plastic bag on my bed.

Then I thought let's see what other people thought to that store's bikinis.

So I googled. I bloody found this bloody blog, the writer of which had just bought a bikini from the same place, and went to Krabi and found the exact same bikini for sale in Krabi for RM40!!! Neeeyamaaaaaaaaaaa.....

(Hahaha.. sorry J, I know you thought you got a nerd-nun gf who wouldn't swear often :P)

On the upside though, I managed to find a copy of "Wicked:The Life and Times of The Wicked Witch of the West" for only RM39, I had only seen the RM70 copies in Borders.
I'm making J keep the book first cause I know I'll probably finish it by tomorrow if I could.

I'm also a huge fan of Duck King in Jaya One at the moment. Delicious roast duck pancake rolls reminiscent of the ones in London. *slurp*

The Starbucks there is also unbelievably cosy and has one of those cool American library desks.

Matter No. 8 on 08.08.08

2008-08-08T19:01:00.003+08:00

Today was my long call! (v.v.v. ong date, plus I was matter no.8 which I hope will intensify my ong-ness in the future :)) I can't believe it.

It went by in such a blur. I couldn't sleep at all cause I was so excited. I woke up at 430!

Its just been one of those days that were perfect.

My Dad, Mom and Jia Xing were all there sitting in the front row in the gallery, beaming.

My darling boyfriend met me in the carpark with the most beautiful bouquet of lilies and the sweetest card. [I can't wait for his long call!]

My best friend woke up at 5 just to come today, and was all suited up!

Not to mention all my other friends who came today (without me even asking any of them to!) and the flowers some of my colleagues got me.

Most importantly, I had the opportunity to thank my Master who has just been wonderful to me during my entire chambering period. I seriously meant it when I said she inspires me, I certainly hope to be as brilliant a lawyer as she is, whilst still being a great person!

Now I'm simply basking in the joy of one who has realised her childhood dream!

Through the Mind’s Eye

2008-07-28T23:30:00.000+08:00

I had a long (and way too loud) conversation with Nick about 5 minutes ago, we’re now rushing to blog/bitch about it.

Well… I guess the mind’s eye of some ought to wear prescription glasses.

Guided by what they think is logic/mathematical theories, people often trip in a haze of so-called rationality.

Of course some would be quick to say, “Oh… so and so is small minded etc.” in a “Phoebe-from-Friends” inspired tone.

I’d actually say, “I’m open but I’m not dim.”

So it started whilst we were watching an episode of The Big Bang Theory (love this show), and Nick made a comment about Star Trek, and how his friend had arguments with him over whether Star Trek could exist, in its exact replica somewhere out there.

I do not subscribe to this HYPOTHESIS.

Yes, I believe that anything could exist. Yes, I believe there could be alien life form. There could be ghosts. There could be whatever. There are things not yet proven.

I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING ANYONE IMAGINES CAN EXIST.

Therefore, I cannot believe that Star Trek, in its exact replica, with Captain Spock, in the form of actor Leonard Nimoy exists out there in some distant planet. Why? Because Star Trek with its dialogue and sets, are all the creation of someone’s imagination.

I thus told Nick to prove him wrong, “I now imagine ‘A Pink and Yellow Zebra Striped Elephant with Wings of Cotton Candy, flying out there whilst wearing Paul Frank boots’. Do you think this exists?”

He says “Yes, it’s possible.”

I can’t prove it doesn’t exist, but I know with absolute certainty that it doesn’t.

Why? Cause I imagined it. Simple.

No need for all the “16 dimensions have been discovered. There could be more… yaddi yaddi yadda” “Mathematical variations bla blab la…”

It doesn’t exist,Nick. It doesn’t.

Similarly, I asked Nick, “Are you saying its possible that “A Ghandi look-a-like, with 2 butt cheeks, each in fact the face of Osama and Saddam Hussein” could exist?”

He said “Yes, it could”.

Yup, he did. He says that this product of my imagination could exist.

He also says that it’s possible for Terminator, who looks like Arnie and events out of that script, as directed by James Cameron could exist out there, in a different dimension. A Bruce Willis ghost is also putting a little Haley Joel Osment’s sixth sense through its paces out there.

Well I’m sorry. I can’t say the same. If that’s being small minded, so be it.

How do you like your eggs in the morning?

2008-07-26T17:23:00.002+08:00

I like mine with a kiss...

Heehee. I have this song in my head! Love oldies.

Anyway, I had a really fun night yesterday.

Met up with the lovely Tuesday Legal Aid-ers at Chilli's after work. We had a great time talking nonsense whilst planning the next get-togethers, which shall culminate in a trip to Angkor Wat... as well as scheming to get Tze Lin to take on the official mantle of "Chef for the Tuesday Legal Aid-ers" :)

Then, I went off to watch Batman: The Dark Knight, at GSC Signature at the Gardens. It was a real mini reunion, cause as Jason and I went upstairs to meet Steven and Nick, we bumped into Tsin Yue and Gooi. When we went in to wait at the lounge, we bumped into Boon Hong. Nick also told us that he bumped into Shirley.

Then, after the movie which was brill (Service at GSC Signature not so brill, and I now plot to write a letter of complaint... again. Hahaha.. I don't know what's up with my constant need to write letters of complaint.], I went over to Nick's house to sleep over and play (somewhat over-competitively Nintendo Wii. I am the reigning queen of Spicy Chicken.

Hmm.. backtrack a little. The movie was brill BUT what was with replacing the Katie Holmes with Maggie Gylenhaal? Yes, yes, she's a great actress, but honestly, she doesn't have the vulnerable likability factor that is so very crucial as a foil to the Superhero in this sorta movies! Plus, not being mean, but she's not really up to par in the looks department. Certainly not enough to get Batman to go batty or to get Harvey Dent to go all demented.

Ok, back to blogging. I've been receiving complaints (read Nick's been bitching) that my blog has lately been dedicated to Barney/DrHorrible/DougieHowser. So I should update more about myself.

Well, I've officially finished chambering. I filed my papers on Monday and my long call date is 08.08.08. I hope this is like some sorta indication that bodes well for the future. Hahaha. Either that, or they wanted to make the fat fat fat me, get long called on fat.fat.fat.

Right, this entry is too long, I'm stopping here. :)

SO THEY SAY

WORKMAN
So they say Captain Hammer's become a crusader
Political. He's cleaning up the streets.

WORKMAN 2
About time!

FANGIRL 1: So they say that it's real love.
FANS: So romantic!
FANGIRL 2: He signed this.

PENNY
So they say we'll have blankets and beds.
We can open by monday, thanks to you.

CAPTAIN HAMMER
Thanks to me.

ANCHORS: It's the perfect story.
MALE ANCHOR: So they say.
FEMALE ANCHOR: A hero leading the way.
ANCHORS: Hammer's call to glory.
FEMALE ANCHOR: Let's all be our best.
MALE ANCHOR: Next up, who's gay?

FANBOY: So they say he saved her life.
FANGIRL 1: They say she works with the homeless and doesn't eat meat.
FANGIRL 1: We have a-
FANS: -problem with her.
FANGIRL 2: This is his hair.

CAPTAIN HAMMER
This is so nice.
I just might sleep with the same girl twice.
They say it's better the second time.
They say you get to do the weird stuff.

FANS: We do the weird stuff!

PENNY
This is perfect for me, so they say.
I guess he's pretty okay
After years of stormy sailing
Have I've finally found the bay.

MOIST (spoken): He's still not picking up

PENNY & DR. HORRIBLE: There's no happy ending, so they say.
DR. HORRIBLE: Not for me anyway
PENNY & DR. HORRIBLE: Should I stop pretending

DR. HORRIBLE: Take the chance to build a brand new day
PENNY: That this is a brand new day.

FANGIRL 2: This is a dry cleaning bill.
FANS: Four sweater vests!

EVERYONE'S A HERO IN THEIR OWN WAY

CAPTAIN HAMMER
It may not feel too classy
Begging just to eat,
But you know who does that? Lassie,
But she always gets a treat.

So you wonder what your part is,
'Cause you're homeless and depressed,
But home is where the heart is,
So your real home's in your chest.

Everyone's a hero in their own way.
Everyone's got villains they must face.
They're not as cool as mine,
But folks you know it's fine
To know your place.

Everyone's a hero in their own way,
In their own not-that-heroic way.

So I thank my girlfriend, Penny.
Yeah, we totally had sex.
She showed me there's so many
different muscles i can flex.

There's the deltoids of compassion.
There's the abs of being kind.
It's not enough to bash in heads,
You've got to bash in minds.

Everyone's a hero in their own way.
Everyone's got something they can do
Get up, go out, and fly,
especially that guy,
who smells like poo.

Everyone's a hero in their own way.
You and you and mostly me and you.

I'm poverty's new sheriff,
And I'm bashing in the slums
A hero doesn't care if you're
a bunch of scary alcoholic bums.

Everybody!

Everyone's a hero in their own way.
Everyone can blaze a hero's trail.
Don't worry if it's hard.
If you're not a friggin' tard
You will prevail!

Everyone's a hero in their own way.
Everyone's a hero in the-

SLIPPING

DR HORRIBLE
Look at these people.
Amazing how sheep'll
Show up for the slaughter.
No one condemning
You lined up like lemmings
You led to the water.

Why can't they see what I see
Why can't they hear the lies
Maybe the fees too pricey
For them to realize
Your disguise is slipping.
I think you're slipping.

Now that your saviour
Is still as the grave you're
Beginning to fear me
Like cavemen fear thunder
I still have to wonder
Can you really hear me?

I bring you pain
The kind you can't suffer quietly
Fire up your brain
Remind you inside your rioting society
Is slipping
Everything's slipping away

So,

Go ahead, run away!
Say it was Horrible.
Spread the word, tell a friend.
Tell them the tale.

Get a pic. Do a blog.
Heroes are over it.
Look at him. Not a word.
Hammer meet nail!

Then i win, then I get
A great thing I ever...
All the cash, all the fame
And social change.

Anarchy, that i run.
It's Dr. Horrible's turn.
You people all have to learn
This world is going to burn!
Burn!
spoken) Yeah, it's two r's, H-O-R-R, yeah, right.
Burn!

No sign of Penny.
Good, I would give anything
Not to have her see.
It's gonna be bloody.
Head up, Billy-Buddy.
There's no time for mercy.

Here goes no mercy!

DR. HORRIBLE IS HERE

DR HORRIBLE
Here lies everything
The world I wanted at my feet
My victory is complete
So hail to the king
(Everything you ever)
Arise and sing

So your world's benign
So you think justice has a voice
And we all have a choice
Now your world is mine
(Everything you ever)
And I am fine

Now the nightmare's real.
Now Dr. Horrible is here
To make you quake with fear,
To make the whole world kneel.

And i won't feel-
-a thing.

ACT TWO

ON THE RISE

DR. HORRIBLE
Any dolt with half a brain
can see that human-kind has gone insane
to the point where I don't know
if I'll upset the status quo
if I throw poison in the water main.

Listen close to everybody's heart
and hear that breaking sound.
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
and crashing to the ground.

I cannot believe my eyes
how the world's filled with filth and lies
but it's plain to see
evil inside of me
is on the rise.

PENNY
Look around
we're living with the lost and found.
Just when you feel you've almost drowned
you find yourself on solid ground

and you believe there's good in everybody's heart.
Keep it safe and sound.
With hope you can do your part
to turn a life around.

I cannot believe my eyes
is the world finally growing wise?
Cause it seems to me
some kind of harmony is on the rise.

PENNY
make it slow
DR. HORRIBLE
anyone with half a brain

PENNY
he looks at me and seems to know
DR HORRIBLE
could spend their whole life howling in pain

PENNY
the things that I'm afraid to show
DR HORRIBLE
is the darkness everywhere
and Penny doesn't seem to care that

PENNY
and suddenly I feel this glow
DR HORRIBLE
that soon the dark in me is all that will remain

PENNY
and i believe there's good in everybody's heart
keep it safe and sound
DR HORRIBLE
listen close to everybody's heart
and hear that breaking sound

PENNY
with hope you can do your part
to turn a life around
DR HORRIBLE
hopes and dreams are shattering apart
and crashing to the ground

DR HORRIBLE and PENNY
i cannot believe my eyes

PENNY
how the world's finally growing wise
DR HORRIBLE
how the world's filled with filth and lies

DR HORRIBLE
but it's plain to see

PENNY
and it's plain to see

DR HORRIBLE
evil inside of me

PENNY
rapture inside of me

DR HORRIBLE and PENNY
is on the rise

BAD HORSE PHONECALL

BAD HORSE HENCHMEN
He saw the operation
you tried to pull today
but your humiliation
means he still votes “neigh”!
And now assassination
is just the only way.
There will be blood,
it might be yours.
So go kill someone.
Signed, Bad Horse.

EVERYTHING HAPPENS

PENNY
Here's a story of a girl
who grew up lost and lonely,
thinking love was Fairy Tale
and trouble was made only for me.

Even in the darkness
every color can be found.
And every day of rain
brings water flowing
to things growing in the ground.

Grief replaced with pity
for a city barely coping.
Dreams are easy to achieve
if hopeful's all I'm hoping to be.

Anytime you're hurt
there's one who has it worse around.
And every drop of rain
will keep you growing
seeds you're sowing in the ground.

so keep your head up Billy, buddy.

BRAND NEW DAY

DR HORRIBLE
This appeared as a moral dilemma
'cause at first it was weird
though I swore to eliminate
the worst of the plague
that devoured humanity
it's true i was vague on the “how”
so how can it be that you
have shown me the light?

It's a brand new day
and the sun is high
all the birds are singing
that you're gonna die.
How I hesitated
now I wonder why.
It's a brand new day.

All the times that you beat me unconscious,
I forgive.
All the crimes incomplete, listen,
honestly I'll live.
Mr. Cool, Mr. Right, Mr. Know-it-all
is through.
Now the future's so bright
and I owe it all to you..
who showed me the light.

It's a brand new me,
I got no remorse.
Now the water's rising
but I know the course.
I'm gonna shock the world,
gonna show Bad Horse.
It's a brand new day.

And Penny will see the evil me,
not a joke, not a dork, not a failure.
And she may cry but her tears will dry
when I hand her the keys to a shiny new Australia.

It's a brand new day,
yeah the sun is high.
All the angels sing
because you're gonna die.
Go ahead and laugh,
yeah I'm a funny guy.

Tell everyone goodbye.

It's a brand new day.

Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog Act 1 Lyrics

2008-07-18T23:53:00.003+08:00

This is because I've got OCD.

I was googling the lyrics for Dr Horrible, just cause I have to know all the words, and it took forever to find them so here they are, for those who might stumble on my blog! :)

ACT ONE

LAUNDRY DAY

DR HORRIBLE
Laundry day, see you there,
underthings, tumbling.
Wanna say, “Love your hair”.
Here I go, mumbling.

With my freeze-ray I will, stop, the world.
With my freeze-ray I will,
find the time to,
find the words to…

Tell you how, how you make,
make me feel, what's the phrase?
Like a fool, kinda sick.
Special needs. Anyways…

With my freeze-ray I will, stop, the pain.

It's not a death-ray or an ice-beam,
that's all “Johnny Snow”.
I just think you need time to know

That I'm the guy to make it real,
the feelings you don't dare to feel.
I'll bend the world to our will
And we'll make time stand still.

That's the plan, rule the world,
you and me, any day.
Love your hair…

Anyway.

With my freeze-ray I will, stop...

BAD HORSE LETTER

BAD HORSE HENCHMEN
Bad Horse, Bad Horse, Bad Horse, Bad Horse!
He rides across the nation, the Thoroughbred of Sin.
He got the application, that you just sent in.
It needs evaluation, so let the games begin.
A heinous crime, a show of force,
a murder would be nice of course.
Bad Horse, Bad Horse, Bad Horse, he's bad!
The Evil League of Evil, is watching so beware.
The grade that you receivewill be your last, we swear.
So make the Bad Horse gleeful or he'll make you his mare…
You're saddled up, there's no recourse,
it's “hi-ho Silver!”
Signed, Bad Horse.

PENNY'S SONG

PENNY
Will you lend a caring hand
to shelter those who need it?
Only have to sign your name,
don't even have to read it.
Would you help?
No? How 'bout you?

WHAT A MAN'S GOTTA DO

DR HORRIBLE
A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do.
Don't plan the plan, if you can't follow through.

All that matters, taking matters, into your own hands.
Soon I'll control everything, my wish is your command.

CAPTAIN HAMMER
Stand back everyone, nothing here to see.
Just imminent danger, in the middle of it: me!
Yes, Captain Hammer's here, hair blowing in the breeze!
The day needs my saving expertise.

A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do.
Seems destiny ends with me saving you.
The only doom that's looming is you loving me to death.

I'll give you a sec to catch your breath.

PENNY
Thank you, Hammer Man,
I don't think I can
explain how important it was
that you stopped the van.
I would be splattered.
I'd be crushed into debris.
Thank you sir for saving me.

CAPTAIN HAMMER
Don't worry about it,
a man's gotta do
what a man's gotta do.

PENNY
You came from above.

DR HORRIBLE
Are you kidding?

CAPTAIN HAMMER
Seems destiny
ends with me saving you.

DR HORRIBLE
What heist were you watching?

PENNY
I wonder what you're Captain of.

DR HORRIBLE
Stop looking at her like that.

CAPTAIN HAMMER
When you're the best
you can't rest,
what's the use?

DR HORRIBLE
Did you notice that he threw you in the garbage?

PENNY
My heart is beating like a drum.

CAPTAIN HAMMER
There's ass
needs kicking,
some ticking bomb to diffuse.

DR HORRIBLE
I stopped the van.
The remote control was in my hand!

PENNY
... must be in shock.

CAPTAIN HAMMER
The only doom that's looming
is you loving me to death.

PENNY
Assuming I'm not loving you to death.

DR HORRIBLE
What-ever

CAPTAIN HAMMER and PENNY
So please give me a sec to catch my breath.

DR HORRIBLE
Balls

Overanalysis

2008-07-17T18:36:00.002+08:00

I had a random conversation with my friends the other day, and someone said that in Indian Culture it was once considered alright for a girl to marry her mother's brother, i.e. her uncle. Eew right?

Then we went and analysed, what would it be like if we did?

First awful analysis:

You and your kids will call the same people "Grandpa" and "Grandma"!

Second gross analysis:

Your grandmother would become your mother-in-law!

Third killer analysis:

Your mother would be your sister-in-law!

Just loveeeeeee the concept - shows being shown on the internet for FREE and only for 24 hours!

What could make this more brilliant?

When the show is a musical about a lovable villain who's always thwarted by a dumb ass hero! :)

Hug your parents and grandparents people!

Dammit. I have real issues. As my closest dearest friends all know, I have this weak spot for the elderly. I hate Reality TV shows (read Survivor and Amazing Race) for putting them in their shows without giving them a headstart at all. I mean come on people... give them a break lest they break a hip.

Anyway I saw this poem today, which is making the always busy junk mail circuit. Sometimes there's a jewel amongst the trash.

See Me

What do you see, nurses, what do you see?
Are you thinking, when you look at me --
A crabby old woman, not very wise,
Uncertain of habit, with far-away eyes,
Who dribbles her food and makes no reply,
When you say in a loud voice -- "I do wish you'd try."

Who seems not to notice the things that you do,
And forever is losing a stocking or shoe,
Who unresisting or not, lets you do as you will,
With bathing and feeding, the long day to fill.

Is that what you're thinking, is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse, you're looking at ME...
I'll tell you who I am, as I sit here so still;
As I rise at your bidding, as I eat at your will.

I'm a small child of ten with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters, who love one another,
A young girl of sixteen with wings on her feet.
Dreaming that soon now a lover she'll meet;
A bride soon at twenty -- my heart gives a leap,
Remembering the vows that I promised to keep;
At twenty-five now I have young of my own,
Who need me to build a secure, happy home;
A woman of thirty, my young now grow fast,
Bound to each other with ties that should last;
At forty, my young sons have grown and are gone,
But my man's beside me to see I don't mourn;
At fifty once more babies play 'round my knee,
Again we know children, my loved one and me.

Dark days are upon me, my husband is dead,
I look at the future, I shudder with dread,
For my young are all rearing young of their own,
And I think of the years and the love that I've known;
I'm an old woman now and nature is cruel --
'Tis her jest to make old age look like a fool.

The body is crumbled, grace and vigor depart,
There is now a stone where once I had a heart,
But inside this old carcass a young girl still dwells,
And now and again my battered heart swells.

I remember the joys, I remember the pain,
And I'm loving and living life over again,
I think of the years, all too few -- gone too fast,
And accept the stark fact that nothing can last --
So I open your eyes, nurses, open and see,
Not a crabby old woman, look closer, nurses -- see ME!

Is there really such a thing as karma?

2008-07-12T22:43:00.003+08:00

I'm a believer in

"if you do crappy things, crappy things happen to you."

It seems to me however, that I'm a much stronger believer in

"if you do crappy things, crappy things ought to happen to you."

It'd be much more realistic to believe in

"crappy people will do crappy things to you, and crappy things won't necessarily happen to them."

Some recommend believing that

"when crappy people do crappy things to you, do crappy things to them in return."

Tempting. But...

I just don't think I can do it, I'd very likely end up just like those crappy people.

Gotta borrow part of a line from Ms Austen, cause I'm pretty sure that "It's a universal truth that many crappy people do crappy things to those they think did crappy things to them (when they didn't at all)."
