and it's almost two months since i last posted.
just to blog abt a few things.
this evening, i sent off two frens whom i've made only exactly twenty days ago. it's odd, cos i met them on the very first day they arrived in singapore - the first person marc introduced to them upon embarkment. and now i've sent them off together with marc. it's like a perfect cycle of receiving and departing, sorta like a full-stop to their first trip to singapore..
and i wish sooooooooo hard that i will go over to their place (sri lanka) soon after my exams... mahi's such a sweet gal, she learns things fast.. nilumi's veri nice to talk to, veri pretty as well.. the two of them are such wonderful gals!
and then marc gives me this small hope that i'll be able to fly over to sri lanka with them :( so mean!
and they got me presents! so sweet...... but they got him better presents!! HUMPH. hahaha, that is of course since he's been a great host and he's their boss anyway... i got them presents too! oh and one of the presents they got me, is a small teddy bear! i am sooo gonna bring it along everywhere i go!! by hook or by crook, i will bring it. dangle on the neck or smth.
aw man, i miss them oredi :( mahi's eyes were brimming with tears but she kept giggling.. and nilumi's bought to many things that her handbag was literally bursting! hahaha, such a cute duo.. to think that they were saying that i looked nice in this dress which i wore to bring them for shopping, and that i looked great in my new tank dress..
when they were talking abt the dress i wore today, nilumi was saying "i like your dress!" and i immediately replied "yeah, ten dollars!"
the two of them burst out laughing sia..... maybe im the cheapskate queen to them now :( then mahi was saying that she's envious that i can wear stuff above the knee (they have strict attire codes back at home) and so i said "that's why im wearing in front of you guys! to make you envious!" MUAHAHAHAHA....
after that while we were munching on food and seated, i crossed my knees and then heard them talking in their mother tongue, so i turned to them and gave them an enquiring look.. mahi then said that they were admiring my legs that it's so fair and no blemish and all those.. and then i pointed my scar on my right knee and going "THERE, i have scars....." and they were going "nonono, it's just that your legs are so nice!"
i was like -.-''''''''
first time that two gals are admiring me.
oh and they gained 5kg each during their stay in sgp!! only 20 days. and they gained 5kg.... and i lost 1kg. hahahaha, the two of them are so adorable!!
however, their pay is soooooooo low. cos the wage rate back home is soooooo low :( the rich there is farking rich though. so marc and i were discussing about finding ways to raise their pay, like treating their current pay as a probation salary and if they reap good results within 6 to 12 months, they would get double the pay! their pay rite now is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo low! haiiiiiiii..... i never got to know about the amount until just now, when marc was going "do you want to know how much they're being paid? are you sure you wanna know? you're going to cry when i say it..."
and i went ooooooooooooooomigawd after he gave me the sums.
oooooooooooomigawd.
and i so wanna go there.
sigh........ but air tix alone is 500 bucks.......not to mention accomodation and all those...............argh.

racism
I know, this is a controversial issue. I have met a few instances where others have become victims of discrimination simply because of their skin tone.
I was in this cabin on the train. opposite me was a lady who looked like she was in her mid thirties, she had settled down onto her seat around the same time as i did. And since there were empty seats at both of her sides, ppl would naturally just SIT right? And so an Indian national happily sat down beside her and beckoned his friend to come along. Then the lady stopped whatever she was doing/thinking (including breathing) and stared at him. Then he sensed her looking at him and looked right back at her.
There was that moment of silence between them.
The woman then hurriedly stood up and "fled" to another cabin.
The guy amazingly turned to his already-seated friend and laughed as he narrated what the woman did.
I was actually sniggering to myself as well. She looked at him as if he was a leper. The narrow-mindedness of that woman, made her look like a clown. Well, i was just laughing at her "extreme"-ness at avoiding the foreign workers.
Another instance, was after Marc and i were at the cinema. The movie had ended, the lights had been switched on.
There was this middle-aged lady sitting right at the end of the row, making it a definite thing that Marc and i would have to bypass her in order to leave the place. And i had already noticed that when the two of us were making our way to our seats at the start of the show, she was staring at us. But when we were getting off our seats and moving off, i noticed her eyes.
Her eyes were wide open, as big as saucers. And she had lifted her legs up so high that she looked like she was performing an acrobatic stunt for us. Her entire body was giving us the message that she STRONGLY wished that we do not have any sort of physical contact with her.
Oh, guess who was she staring at with her eyes wide open?
Marc.
Not because of his "striking good looks". But almost definitely, the colour of his skin.
I was infuriated but didnt do anything besides frown. Marc saw me frowning and told me to smile and be happy because it's so seldom that we can have time together and so i shouldnt be frowning the precious time away. I replied with a "Yeah, but......" and trailed off.
Why didnt i go up to her and do what i could have done? I could have went up to her, smile politely and ask her if anything was "wrong". And maybe slap her in the face. She looked like a real refined, elderly lady who was definitely educated. But why is she behaving in such an unrefined manner of ostracising ppl of different ethnic groups without trying to understand them better and see that it is only skin deep?
A person's character is not defined by his skin colour, hair colour, or whatever colour. You cant simply judge them just by looking at their appearance (even though some ppl do look very sneaky)!
Was so pissed at that woman that i couldnt sleep.

this feeling is special. veri special.
he makes me feel special.
he treats me like an adult and at the same time, he looks out for me.
he would walk on the outside of the sidewalk, he would shield me from the rain even though it's useless, he would give me his elbow to hold onto as if we were in a grand event and i was the princess.
he would hold my hand and kiss the back of it. and continue holding it. and den kiss and rub his face into it and kiss again and rub again, as if it meant everything to him that i was by his side. and that it gave him the comfort that almost nothing else can give. even though his stubble was out and his face was being veri veri rough.. that pain was actually veri veri welcomed.
he would let me know how much he appreciated wad i've done for him.
he would encourage me.
he would be interested in wad i wanted to say.
he loved making fun of me and seeing my reaction. and he would always have a good laugh AT me. but i feel good cos i managed to make him laugh.
but all these. makes me extremely stressed. wad would become of me when he leaves me?
i love him so much.

i'm my own grandpa
Many many years ago when I was twenty three,
I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter
Who had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her,
And soon the two were wed.
This made my dad my son-in-law
And changed my very life.
My daughter was my mother,
For she was my father's wife.
To complicate the matters worse,
Although it brought me joy,
I soon became the father
Of a bouncing baby boy.
My little baby then became
A brother-in-law to dad.
And so became my uncle,
Though it made me very sad.
For if he was my uncle,
Then that also made him brother
To the widow's grown-up daughter
Who, of course, was my step-mother.
Father's wife then had a son,
Who kept them on the run.
And he became my grandson,
For he was my daughter's son.
My wife is now my mother's mother
And it makes me blue.
Because, although she is my wife,
She's my grandmother, too.
If my wife is my grandmother,
Then I am her grandchild.
And every time I think of it,
It simply drives me wild.
For now I have become
The strangest case you ever saw.
As the husband of my grandmother,
I am my own grandpa!

This Kiss lyrics
Songwriters: Chapman, Beth Nielsen; Lerner, Robin; Roboff, Annie;I don't want another heartbreak
This Kiss - Faith Hill
I don't want another heartbreak
I don't need another turn to cry(no)
I don't want to learn the hard way
Baby hello, oh no, goodbye
But you got me like a rocket
Shooting straight across the sky
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's (ah)impossible
This kiss, this kiss.. unstoppable..
This kiss, this kiss
Cinderella said to snow white
How does love get so off course(oh)
All i wanted was a white knight
With a good heart, soft touch, fast horse
Ride me off into the sunset
Baby, i'm forever yours
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's (ah)unthinkable
This kiss, this kiss..unsinkable..
This kiss, this kiss
You can kiss me in the moonlight
On the rooftop under the sky (oh)
You can kiss me with the windows open
While the rain comes pouring inside (oh)
Kiss me in sweet slow motion..
Let's let everything slide
You got me floating, you got my flying
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's (ah) subliminal
This kiss, this kiss.. it's criminal..
This kiss, this kiss
It's the way you love me, baby
It's the way you love me, darlin'
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's (ah) subliminal
This kiss, this kiss.. it's criminal..
This kiss, this kiss
It's the way you love me, baby
It's the way you love me, darlin'
