Mid Sem Dreams

I want to look hot and sexy with a tight tummy. I wanna get that tankini (not bikini, i still shy) I saw the other day. I wanna go lounge at the pool overlooking the sea, like I did in Bintan 2 years ago, with a long-island tea in my hand. I wanna feel the cool breeze on my neck as I watch the sunset.

Take me away.

Gee Whiz.

We had people over for dinner today. My dad’s friend from the In*dian High Co*mm had come over with his wife and daughter. We used to meet more frequently when I was in JC and before they left for South Africa. They were back in Singapore again for a short holiday and had swung by my place for old times sake.

First thing the man did when he entered the house, looked at my youngest sis and mistook her for me and told her that I had not changed a single bit. That was until he saw me. He was like ‘OMG’.

Thanks la. It happened again when we had moved to the living room for coffee and dessert (which I am proud to say I didn’t touch. sigh… it was chocolate cake and gulab jamun) and there was an ad for the sony vaio laptop and I was like that is not a very good laptop computer if you are looking for one, he turns over and looks at me. ‘Rajendran, the last time we saw your daughter she was this big (gesturing the size of a peanut butter jar).. and now, wa wa.. she has opinions!’

WTF DUDE!

This guy is also into astrology. In between representing the Indian Consul, he went to study astrology in Delhi. He takes out the laptop he brought along and opens up a program in it. Then he asks my mum for my DOB and the time and place where I was born. He presses enter and voila! my horoscope has been derived. (You see this the perfect example of ancient and modern India coexisting! Ancient astrological science made easy by computer programs. You conniving Indians!)

From reading the charts, which have symbols and letters decorating a grided square, he tells me about my future, especially my profession and my married life. By golly! Am I not happy to know!?

So, here is the verdict, written in the stars. I am destined to get married in 2008-09. I will dominate my husband. I should be very careful about my partner and not trust him too much. (hmmm.) Professionwise, I cannot be my own boss. I am easily swayed so I cannot be a strong leader. I cannot do PR jobs. However, finding a job is easy for me. I apparently love my dad more than my mum. I will also not have any chronic illnesses.

Firstly, I don’t believe in this. These are self-fulfilling prophecies. But when he kept saying so much, I was tempted to ask some other things as well… only on profession though… he was curious why I never asked him about my love life. EH! YEE. Why do I wanna find out about it from him?

Oh well, I didn’t ask him in the end. Why restrict myself?

I still can’t believe he said ‘Now she has opinions!’ %^%&%&%

There Is No One Reason For Having Sex. There are 237.

Reading the article, it is amazing that having kids is not even one of the top reasons for having sex. The study was done in the U of Texas on a ‘fairly homogenous sample’. 400 students gave reasons and another 1500 rated their importance. Researchers divided the responses into 4 categories: Physical, Goal Attainment, Emotional, Insecurity. The top 10 reasons were the same for both genders, ranging from, ‘I was attracted to them’ and ‘I was sexually aroused and I needed the release’. Lame ones include ‘I needed the exercise’ and ‘I was on a dare’. Heh.

I was just thinking  that if there wasn’t the consequence of getting pregnant, the taboo of abortion and the cost of bringing up a child single-handedly, more women would be promiscuous. If women didn’t have the ‘burdened end’ of the casual sexual relationship…

Verbal Catharsis

How’s the new look?

That is a picture I took in Monaco from the Royal Gardens. I love it because I was feeling contemplative and at peace when I was walking around alone over there. Nice, know?

Piecing things together never felt better.

My Life, The Movie

Music is a very very very important part of my life. In fact, I always have a song running through my head or a song that pops into my head when I am feeling some big feelings (wow great choice of words Rosh!). Like the other day when I was getting confused about some guy in the middle of the night, I had the song ‘Trouble Sleeping’ by The Perishers playing.

Ok so to cut the story short, I did the little thing that has been doing the rounds of the blogsphere, to which I have returned to. (Hears a rush of cheers from fellow inhabitants)

Switched on my iTunes and put my music library on shuffle and listed down the songs as they came to fit the soundtrack to my life’s movie. So without cheating (very hard but I tried), here is OST: Roshni.

Ok la, I have a lot of strange, unrecognisable music in my laptop. It’s what you get when your musical taste is so varied. But I kind of like what turned up though I have a feeling I may be doing this regularly til I get the perfect soundtrack. HA! And this is supposed to be a random churning of songs to match the unpredictability of life.

CHRONIC NEED TO CONTROL. EVERYTHING.
