overheard

8:26 AM
'yes, they are looking for a nice girl from a nice family. so i thought of _____. and the boy is also nice and so is the family.'

what is nice! if someone was nice i wouldn't want them. nice is generic. it could be anything. it is dubiously general.

so nice is a marriage criteria. like that everybody is also nice. why don't we all draw lots and pick future partners?

now you can divide eligible (read: unmarried) people into 2 categories: nice and not nice. and you can get the nice people to pick from the nice lot and the not nice people to pick from the not nice lot.

tadaa! the world is in balance again.

happy VD

11:20 AM
valentines' day of course. otherwise known as Snog In Public Day.

apparently this week is also International Flirting Week.
it is also International Use a Condom Week.

i don't think there's any reason as to why they coincide. do you?

open letter to the parentals

9:07 PM
dearest daddy,

if we dress like how you insist we do, i predict your kids will end up as nuns and devote their lives to the lord and our saviour fill in the blank with whatever catches your fancy. which means we will be forever virgins and will not give you any grandchildren who will be the pride and joy during your retirement years.

mother dearest,

when you go to one daughter and tell her don't tell your sister that i asked you this, the first thought that runs through her mind is i am going to tell my sister whatever you are going to ask me. when will you learn!

love,
A

ps: i have found a fantastic solution to predicted parenting problems: never have kids. duh.

and counting

10:00 PM
my alcohol tolerance might have improved after exchange, but my maximum vadai intake has dropped sharply since. it is ridiculous! when i was younger i used to gobble about 8 or 9 temple vadais (the temple ones are the BEST, you can solve the world's oil crisis with them) and STILL have space for the banana leaf dinner.

but today, after number 5, i was stuffed. and i struggled to finish the delicious ponggal and the puliyotharai. only 5! that is disgraceful. about 10 years ago i could have 14 pooris at one go.

and i had good reason to have those 5.

number one was because i smelt them and i had to have them.

number 2 was because i was scared that if i waited there would be no more vadais left, after round 1 and 2 of giving vadais to other people. legitimate fear okay!

number three involved my strict don't waste food policy (otherwise known as anuja is a receptacle) i couldn't see one of the monkeys not eating his vadai so i volunteered to eat it.

number 4 was the most legitimate vadai of all, it was served on to my leaf and how can i NOT eat it!

number 5 - couldn't be helped. someone left the entire vadai paathiram in front of me and without thinking my hand reached out and grabbed one. and the chutney got refilled so i just had to take the fifth so that i could enjoy that right?

i am so stuffed. seriously. i swear i will wake up as a vadai tmr morning.

when i don't feel like doing anything productive

1:47 AM
i think about kent ridge and exchange. it's painful. i miss the personality that used to exist in her first 2 years of university, and that danced for a fleeting 3 months. i miss her. being back has made me bleak and tired.

life is being sucked out of me and i don't like it. this country makes me high strung.

i refuse to get depressed over this.

on the good side, i like this vaguely more confident, independent and adventurous character that has emerged. i hope she lasts.

white

6:18 PM
i now know that you don't wear white when you volunteer to help with some cooking. that involves different types of chili in all dishes.

i also know now that you don't wear white in the case that the chocolate fondue machine is switched on. and there's a lot of chocolate. and there are 4 rowdy boys and 1 messy eater (me, btw) who are overenthusiastic about chocolate and will go to any lengths to camp by the fondue machine stuffing ourselves with s'mores and bananas and apples and did i mention chocolate?

you get chocolate all over the table and all over the chairs. and over my dress.

argh.

three cheers to clorox!
