Perfect Weekend.

I wonder..

If all weekends could be like this weekend?

It had the perfect balance of fun, tiring activities, work and sleeeep..

Saturday brought out lots of emotions that have been suppressed by work. Emotions that only good friends and Touch can bring out in me. Had a healthy dose of both so one can say that it was a good day.
The touch tournament at SAS sure brought some interesting insight of my own. Made me realize how much I miss the game that molded me. The sport me that drove me to obsession. The sport that defined me. Now when I see the new team playing, it stirs a mixed feeling of swollen pride and unresolved pain in me. But nevertheless, Addy and Kasbi has to commended on their outstanding job with the ladies. They are definitely the cream of today's touch players. Amazing! The U-18 girls nearly made it to the Plate Finals and that is pretty outstanding if this is the first time one is playing as a team. But more than tries and touch downs, the girls gained in character with touch and that is definitely a good thing.

And then went to B's place to spend the last day of her non-parents week before heading to Tif's place for a good party. It was quite a party. Meeting new people, laughing with all ones. Just being there made me feel blessed.

 

The amazing photographic skills belong to Joey. Thanks mate for the amazing photos! You're truly a talent.

And of course on Sunday, naturally after all that Saturday had to offer, one would only sleep till 4pm. It was extraordinary. A rest that I needed for a long time. And got some work done so now I'm feeling pretty darn good about my self.

I truly wonder if ALL weekends can be this awesome!

Doncha ever stop ya wondering child!

Wondering abt the lazines

Doncha stop your wondering, child!

Wondering through the flu

Today I wonder...

Since I am feeling under the weather ( where did that term even come from? Hmmm..) I decided I should explore the cause of the common flu and maybe get a lil insight on the culprit that's messin with my head. I feel like my head has been converted into a water catchment area and if I did a headstand (hehe.. Sofia!), all the water would rest on the upper part of my skull and eventual splash out through my head! Sighh.. all the SAW images have rewired my thinking. Everything has potential to be turned into a gore fest!

so here's my half hearted research :-

What causes influenza?

The flu is caused by three types (strains) of viruses - influenza

A, B and C. Type A is responsible for the deadly influenza pandemics (worldwide epidemics) that strike every 10 to 40 years, whereas type B causes smaller, more localized outbreaks. Type C is less common and causes only mild symptoms. The influenza virus is generally passed from person to person by airborne transmission (i.e., sneezing or coughing). But, the virus can also live for a short time on objects -- such as doorknobs, pens, pencils, keyboards, telephone receivers, and eating or drinking utensils. Therefore, it may also be spread by touching something that has been handled by someone infected with the virus and then touching your own mouth, nose, or eyes Influenza virus is spread by inhaling droplets that have been coughed or sneezed out by an infected person or by having direct contact with an infected person's secretions. Handling household articles that have been in contact with an infected person or an infected person's secretions may sometimes spread the disease.

I guess I come under Type B eh? or Is it Type C? Sigh.. whatever type I am, It better end soon. It's disrupting my already scattered thinking process.

In other news...

Army Major goes on killing rampage at Texas military base

A US army major killed 11 people and wounded at least 30 others in a bloody rampage at Fort Hood military base in Texas. The only shooter is still alive according to the base commander and is in hospital after undergoing surgery for his wounds. 

Apparently the shooter is an army psychiatrist named Major Nidal Malik Hasan. So immediately, our minds race to fill in the gaps - 'He must be planted there to kill from the inside because ALL MUSLIMS are terrorists and blood thirsty'. But look at the facts, his cousin said that Major Nidal's worst nightmare is to be deployed to Iraq. And we must ask ourselves, why? Why do American Muslims feel so frightened to serve their country; country in which they were born in, and grew up in? A place which built their value system, defined them. Doesn't it make you wonder, that maybe Non-Muslims from America just maybe fueling the terror by their prejudice and discriminatory ways. IF Major Nidal wasn't treated with accusing eyes and discrimination, maybe the psychiatrist wouldn't turn psycho. Afterall, he was human too. I'm not justifying his act, I'm merely wondering about what could the cause be.

Makes you also wonder about the life of Muslim Americans in America and the Defense Industry now huh? I hope they highlight that point, rather than the fact that he was Muslim.


By the way....

I read through alot of different ideas of where the phrase came from but I like this the best!

Under the Weather - the phrase under the weather originally had nothing to do with weather. The correct phrase is under the wether. It refers to the fact that female sheep resist the efforts of the castrated male sheep (Wether) to mount them. When the female is so ill that she cannot resist the wether's attentions, she is literally under the wether.

SAW VI. all the gore.. little brain

Went to watch SAW VI yesterday. It was the preview and Addy won tickets on Friday.com. Which basically means a whole bunch of gay people in the cinema being totally traumatised. That show is all about the gore. It wasn't fascinatingly thought-provoking or anything (maybe cause Jigsaw kicked the bucket?) but it sure had its more than fair share of gore. I mean, the first scene itself had a dude slicing his fucking fats off. That is insane! But it does make you wonder - Is it true that you will only appreciate life when you are faced with death?

Anyway I went to do alil reading up on the movie trailer because I am sick and seriously am brain dead, so am at home trying to make my blog all fancied up but tryna do it in the simplest manner as possible. I chanced upon this Fan Website for the SAW series. I think it kinda sums up what I think- SAW Movie Fan Site.

Bu hey if you are all for gore, people butchering their own limbs, bone crushing and all that fun stuff, it comes highly reccommended. The direction is nothing to rave about cause you know, when the wonderful series comes down to this, it's a final ditch attempt to milk the series for its money.

I have to say this tho, it's Man's sickest torture fantasies materialized.

And guess what else I found out:
"Well, it’s official, even before the new Saw movie comes out, Variety has told the world that Saw 7 has been given the green light. According to reports, the new movie is to begin production in January of 2010 and they are going to be filming the new project in 3-D. Yes, the Saw series is going to the next level of kitsch; they are showing you a 3-D horror film." - SAW Movie Fan Site 

Sick people.. Rejoice!


Ok.. This Friday - Paranormal. 
I am such a chicken shit, I don't know why do I do this to my little heart? The hassles of a Free Loader!

I learnt a new word:-
infallible [ɪnˈfæləb^əl]

2. not liable to failure; certain; sure an infallible cure

3. completely dependable or trustworthy

n

a person or thing that is incapable of error or failure

infallibility , infallibleness n

infallibly  adv

busy.. busy .. busy

Have you woke up in the morning and believed that everything is gona be alright? Well these is one of those days. it is truly quite an amazing day. I know I haven't really doin' much blogging lately and that's because I've been crazy with work. All kindsa work. The girls I'm tutoring are have exams, my company's got immense amount of paper work to get done and I still have to get over my final leg of school! yay!

There's a certain jingle on radio right now that's driving me nuts! ' let's make our world the most beautifullll hommmmee'.. STOP!

Anyway, went to BELLINI at St James Power station for Halloween wit Bie and her friends. It was all good but the crowd was abit dead-er than expected. What's going on?!I had 5 shots, 3 glasses of wine and 2 bottom-uped whiskey coke; and I remained perfectly sober.
Seriosly, what's going on?! Such a waste of moolah. Next time, I'm sticking to beer. Dependable ol' beer.

Anyway, some time back, discovered a quaint lil place at arab st - THE NEXT DOOR CAFE. Its quite cool actually. It's very cosy and they had UNO! I was sold. The pizza is really good and of course, they didn't need that. They had beer. It was love at first sight. This place is just opposite Al Majlis. The lady runnin the place was real nice. oooo but they should reconsider the placement of the toilet cos it's a bitch to get to when it's up a flight of stairs. What I really remember is that right outside the toilet, was the sign that said 'HAPPY DEEPAVALI!'-handwritten. It was damn amateurish but hey it brightened my toilet journey, especially after the long flights of stairs.

Time for me to go discover more places! Weee..hungry go where...

Addy gt tickets to SAW VI for Wednesday, so I went to check out the trailer.

Girlfriends and Indian Mothers

How do you have a relationship with someone and not let your closest friend in on it?
That's weird as hell! Okay. That's what I heard actually. A certain 'Q' is having a relationship for five months with one 'R' and Q's best fren/ex have no idea because well shit would hit the fan (as the common saying goes. who came up with that anyway? have shit actually hit the fan before? Can you imagine the after math of it all? Deepest condolences to the dude/dudette who first witnessed that shitty event.)

So what, you say? well, this is what. both Q and the bestie/ex belong to a group that balances on a seriously warped dynamics. Which can only mean that the fan that the shit would hit is on high speed, darling, and crap is gonna spread far and wide. Which brings me to a deeper ponder-ation.

Having a group of close girlfriends, is like having 3 lovers who know one another but don't really like you hanging out with the one or the other. They can sit at the same table and sometimes, they might joke with one another, but all the while they are holding a cleaver close to that well-loved love handles of yours. I mean you love all of em, but you also wanna change your address sometimes and pretend that your answering machines broke down or that famous line ' you smsed me? damn! must've been lost in the virtual space somewhere cos I didn't receive it', while you reach in your bag and quickly delete any evidence.

It's alil sick. sometimes you're even more afraid of your close girlfriends than you were of your mother when you know you had been caught sneaking out. Of course, for Indian daughters, that fear NEVER goes away. Cause where i come from, mothers have the eternal right to test that butt even when you are fifty. And that is not a joke.

Anyway, good luck to Q. I'll keep ya updated on the sad drone of my life by leeching on the excitement of others.

Those baby's eyes and Marley flash mob

Have you ever encountered one of those babies that have such criticizing eyes that seem to know you, you're inner thoughts, your sexual fantasies; eyes that seem to judge you and ACTUALLY frighten you? I mean we are talking about a child.. not even a child, an infant.. That thing with legs and hands that hang oh-so-precariously from one those baby carriers that seem to train the young ones to be astronauts.Well I got one of those pair of eyes asking me what the purpose of my existence was. I have never felt emotionally naked in my entire live! That baby is so mean-looking!And it happened in the morning as I was waiting for my bus to go to work.

Lucky for yours truly, Michael Franti saved the mood for the day!

That dude is as cute as hell. He's like the modern day white Marley!A Man after my heart!

Weeds had his song in one of its episode with flash mob! Wicked stuff!


*Note to self - Plan a flash mob/ be part of it at least once in my life! I love that stuff!

Anyway sick me will get back to a wonderfully mundane work day again.
I'll get more stuff coming into this blog real soon.

PS: blogging makes you realize how un-alive you can really be.

back from the dead!

We're doing the freshARTproject event now and it's driving me positively insane. And worse of all, thanks to Ms Low-Blow-Slow, the words 'boomz' is haunting me. I mean, I actually feel sorry for the girl - she's getting blows from left, right and centre. I mean it's not her fault that although Singapore is home to a large pool of beauties who can actually speak proper English, the organizers when straight for her. She's not bad or anything; and let's admit that it takes alot of balls to get up there in front of so many people and strut your stuff. But somewhere along the development of the beauty pageants in Singapore, balls became the focus instead of brains or, even, beauty. I mean, who are the organizers and judges whose actions caused one Ris Low to be the momentary sacrificial goat. sigh.. I digressed. where was I?

Oh yeah, freshARTproject - Flea & Artist Call! event.. whoohoo.. it's gona be huge!! I can feel it in ma tingly Indian bones. We've already some interested sponsors so it's gona be awesome.
We're looking for

• performers

In other news, oktoberfest is apparently in town but there's no hype what so ever about it. Unless they ostracized me from the beer-drinking community (which is so just damn mean!), I have not heard of anything big and fancy happening during this jolly month of drunken october. OR maybe people already know about these event and so they don't really need to spend the moolah on high end advertising to reach out to the inner drunks in us. ALCOHOLICS HEAD TO PAUL LANER!

and and and... there's Singapore Reggae Festival coming to town on the 28th November 2009. Partayyy.. I am actually thinking what my look is gona be.. RASTA maan!
