"May God bless you and keep you always.. May your wishes all come true.. May you always do for others.. And let others do for you.. May you build a ladder.. To the stars.. And climb on every rung.. And may you stay.. Forever young.."
was over at the boys' for dinner (as usual) and john & jay were there too. zakir was the chef tonight & he cooked his "famous" mee goreng. wiyah & i still don't have a television in our house so the only time we watch tv is when we're at the boys'. watched The Honors on tv just now.. one of my all time favourites. felt guilty watching it cos i think the boys wanted to watch the soccer match that was showing on Foxtel but since i was watching the movie, they didn't make a fuss about switching the channel. i think it's also cos they are occupied with the x-box that just arrived via DHL.
i remembered watching The Honors the first time years ago.. i cried at the end of the film. it's an inspirational film i must say. and i love the moral of the story - it's more important to earn a lesson about the world and life than being too occupied earning a degree. there's more to life than that piece of paper. yes, i agree that earning a degree is important.. it's like your passport to many places, mainly professionally. but one must always remember that learning what life is about and how the world works is more important cos this knowledge is more valuable to one. and the mind needs to be stimulated constantly.
ripped this off a friend's blog (which has to remain anonymous).. i hope she doesn't mind me ripping from her. it'll be the same thing i'd say to my partner.. when i have one that is..
"I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man. I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked... believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster. I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden. I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded. I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive... he just has to be worthy. God made woman to be a help mate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself."
at this very moment, i wish i can have just a glimpse of my parents. i wish i can transport myself to my home in Singapore (sort of like the invisible man) and just watch my parents doing their everyday thing. i miss my parents. so much. it'll really make my day if i am able to see their faces. even for a split second. am glancing over at the family photo as i type this. i want to sit with my parents and have conversations with them, like we always do. wiyah and i have set a tentative date to fly home. we're both looking at 4th september. 2 weeks down and 11 more to go before the end of semester. we will be sitting for our exams throughout the whole month of june. winter break will be in july (and results will be out then too) and we have the whole of august to prepare for our return. we're both planning to have a little holiday together, maybe travel to sydney and melbourne between july and august.

I Want To Hold Your Hand - Beatles
"And when I touch you I feel happy inside.. It’s such a feeling that my love.. I can’t hide, I can’t hide, I can’t hide.."
Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance. Or a stranger
to colour or not to colour..that's the question. have been contemplating for a while if i should colour my hair. i coloured my hair auburn on my last birthday. thinking if i should do it again this year. and if i colour, what colour should i get? i love auburn but i want something different this time round. should i get a reddish shade? or maybe something brownish? but then again, i miss my original colour. am afraid if i colour my hair i will regret it. i regret cutting my long hair and now i can't wait for it to grow. so what should i do now? i think i will sleep on it. again.

Russian Jokes Translated to English
There is an alligator sitting near the river and smoking joint.
A beaver swims to him.
- What are you smoking?
- It's a funny thing, wanna try? Take a deep inhalation and hold your breath for some time.
The beaver takes an inhalation, dives and swims underwater to the other bank. There grass takes an effect and he starts to smile and giggle. A hippopotamus looks at him and asks what's so funny. Ask the alligator for an inhallation, then you'll see what's so funny, answers the beaver. The hippopotamus dives and swims to the alligator's bank. When he emerges from the water, the alligator looks at him and shouts in terror - Breathe out, beaver, breathe out!
The wolf and Little Red Riding Hood.
- Gotcha, silly girl!
- Why do you call me silly? I'm not silly, I'm Little Red Riding Hood. Look, I have red hood, red blouse, red skirt, red socks, red shoes.. Damn, I really look stupid.
It is spring. The man comes through sunny green field smiling to green grass and shiny sun. He comes to the birch grove and sees the little girl who is hanging on the birch biting birch branch.
- What are you doing, girl?
- D-d-drinking j-juice.
Beautiful morning. Glade full of flowers. Sun is rising. Birds are singing. Lieutenant Rzhevsky comes out of the white tent, his underwear is snowwhite. He looks around, raises his hands and shouts.
- God, how could I live before and didn't notice such a beauty!
- Fuck, fuck, fuck - answered accustomed echo.
Lieutenant Rzhevsky at party talked to Natasha Rostova but suddenly asked to excuse him and went out. When he was back he was all wet.
- It is raining outdoors?
- No, it is windy.
Lieutenant Rzhevsky with young countess walking around the park.
- Lieutenant, do you like children?
- Not really. But process..
- Do you know why programmers put two glasses to the bed-side table when they go to sleep?
- Why?
- Glass of water in case they will become thirsty and empty one in case they won't.

The Way Children See Things!
NUDITY
I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a Woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat, "Mom! That lady isn't wearing a seat belt!
HONESTY
My son Zachary, 4, came screaming out of the bathroom to tell me he'd dropped his toothbrush in the toilet. So I fished it out and threw it in the garbage. Zachary stood there thinking for a moment, then ran to my bathroom and came out with my toothbrush. He held it up and said with a charming little smile, "We better throw this one out too then, 'cause it fell in the toilet a few days ago.
OPINIONS
On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a Note from his mother. The note read, "The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents."
KETCHUP
A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup to come out of the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone. "It's the minister, Mommy," the child said to her mother. Then she added, "Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now.She's hitting the bottle."
MORE NUDITY
A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, "What's the matter haven't you ever seen a little boy before?"
ELDERLY
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. The various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs, unfailingly intrigued her. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, "The tooth fairy will never believe this!"
DRESS-UP
A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, "Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit." "And why not, darling?" "You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning."
SCHOOL
A little girl had just finished her first week of school. "I'm just wasting my time," she said to her mother. "I can't read, I can't write and they won't let me talk!"
BIBLE
A little boy opened the big family bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He pickedup the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what I found", the boy called out." What have you got there, dear?" With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, "I think it's Adam's underwear!"
