Social issues, inter galactical problems, technology as a reason for dispute.
This is a must watch...

Pains everywhere
Been trudging through the past few days with little or no sleep but things are good. Lectures and tutorials at NUS are going well.
My body is aching from muscle pulls from netball training on Wednesday.
To top it all off, my feet have blisters on them from dancing for tomorrow's performance. We're performing the violin version of 'Smooth Criminal'. I posted the youtube video of the song by David Garret in one of my previous posts. Check it out because it is freaking awesome!
Anyways, I've really got nothing much to say right now. It's not that I don't have anything to talk about. Trust me there is plenty but right now, I'm extremely content with keeping most of it to myself...at least for the moment.
Anywho, here's a song that I thought you should hear. I've added on the lyrics beneath the music video because I find that the song is extremely meaningful ; ) Plus it kind of expresses my mood for the week.
Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a soul
Beautiful melody, when the nights alone
Cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy (Yeah)
When my world is falling apart,
when there is no light to break up the dark
That's when I (I) look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore and I
can't find my way home anymore
That's when I (I) look at you
When I look at you
I see forgiveness, I see the truth
You love me for who I am like the stars
hold the moon
Right there where they belong and I know
I'm not alone (Yeah)
When my world is falling apart,
when there is no light to break up the dark
That's when I (I) look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore and I
can't find my way home anymore
That's when I (I) look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore and I
can't find my way home anymore
That's when I (I) look at you
You appear just like a dream to me
Just like a line of school colors that cover me
All I need every breath that I breathe
Don't you know you're beautiful (Yeah, Yeah)
When the waves are flooding the shore and I
can't find my way home anymore
That's when I (I) look at you
I would like to credit Synta Mae for writing out the lyrics.

Ponder About It
1) Take a paper. An A4 sized one preferably.
2) Now draw a line half way down the paper. Done?
3) Now take 2 pens, each a different colour.
4) On the left side of the paper write, using one colour, Like. And on the other side, with a different coloured pen, write, Dislike.
5) Then, take 5 minutes to think about your day, your week, your life. Done?
6) Pick up your pen and fill in the right side with whatever you didn't like about your day, your life, your personality, your appearance, school...basically anything.
7) Then, fill up the left side, with all your likes. Your character, confidence, your smile or hair, your work, the flowers you saw while you were walking home...anything under the sun.
8) Fill each side with at least 10 things you Like and Dislike.
9) Take a ruler and rip down the line, seperating the Like column from the Dislike column.
10) Read through the Dislike column one last time and crush into a ball. Now close your eyes and throw it into a dustbin. Read through your Like column and fold it as many times as possible. Slip that piece into your wallet, your pencil box, anywhere you'd like.
We dislike alot of things in our lives and even if we refuse to admit it, these things bog us down and prevent us from doing the wonders we are so very capable of.
Don't hold on to these things. Let them go. And when you close your eyes just before throwing that part of the list away, imagine your life without these Dislikes.
Why do you think God put walls in our lives? Why do you think he made it difficult for us to gain happiness? Why do you think pure joy, trust and true love is so very hard to achieve or believe in?
Why?
Because it makes us appreciate the things we attain more when we do finally get it.
Because even if we feel joy for only a second, it is that moment that reminds us what we're fighting for.
It's not for money or for power. It's not for control or respect.
It's for that sense of knowing.
Knowing that one day you will be able to write a line down a piece of paper and only fill up the column that says Like.

Simply Delightful
It was almost as though he knew I was slightly down that he sent me friends who would make my day.
Prabs stayed over with me at Raffles Hall. We played pool, studied, edited and ate until 4am in the morning. Slept and got up at 8am because I had a lecture at 9am. She followed me down and we saw Han Zhi : ) So Prabs just crashed my theatre studies lecture. After that, Prabs, Serena and I headed down to University Hall and hung out at the cafe while we ate breakfast. It was delicious!!! Yoga joined us and after Serena left for another one of her lectures, the other three of us just hung out. I spent some time doing editing.
Then Serena returned and I went out to talk to someone very important : ) You know who you are darling.
After all that nonsense, the four of us left NUS at 4pm and headed down to City Hall where we actually went searching for food first. But we were constantly deviated.
Here's what we did instead...
1) Went into 'That CD shop'. That's really the name of that shop lol. Why did we go in there? Because we were all attracted by the Pirates of the Caribbean song we heard. And when we went in, it was discover that the piece was done by a guy named David Garrett. On top of that, we realise that in his CD, he also did the violin piece for 'Smooth Criminal'. I've placed both songs here for your listening. You have to hear this because it is so very impressive.
Pirates of the Caribbean:
Smooth Criminal:
2) Found a pen shop. I love calligraphy ink pens. Used one once but never managed to own a set. Would love to have one though and am going to save up to purchase those gorgeous pens.
3) Found a notebook shop that had notebooks which were gorgeous. I love shops like that and was distracted with the others for another good 15 minutes : )
4) Stumbled upon an art gallery. If I could show you two of my favourite pieces, I would do it but I can't : ( But the pieces were absolutely beautiful. One was of a paddy field that was done in acrylic paint that gave the art piece a 3-D effect while the other was a grey painting of a nude female who was swishing her hair around. You should have seen it to have appreciated it.
So that's what we found randomly. Soon after, began the walk to substation. Along the way, we stumbled upon these things.
5) A concept shop for interior designing. Serena had been eyeing the place so we all decided to enter. It was such a stiff yet exciting experience. None of us had the money to purchase anything in there but it was fun to walk around checking out every single piece. Even though, the sales assistant was watching us very closely, we drank everything in before moving off.
6) An art gallery at substation. We peered through a glass window that had Yoga kneeling to look through : ) Prabs took a picture of this.
7) We discovered that on the first Monday of every month, Substation shows a local Singapore film for free. So that's where want to go : )
And then we arrived at our destination. Dinner was good and so was the company.
After that, walked back to the MRT station in the rain. Serena and I had a good talk on the train. I <3 you girl : ) And then Yoga had to leave. And then Serena said bye to Prabs and I.
Then the two of us walked back.
Now I'm home, sated and satisfied and I have to thank everyone for today. Espcially the three of you.
PS: Darling, I'm very very very proud of you.

What is the reality? What is the truth?
All our lives we search for answers. All our lives we search for the truth.
But what are these answers and do we really want to hear the truth?
It's been a weird year in which I've realised several things.
No, I don't have the right answers.
No, I don't know the truth.
But I'm starting to suspect them.
When I look around me, I begin to see that what we used to think was our reality might not really be the right reality. Some may argue and say that there is no such thing as the right or wrong reality. True. But what I mean is the right reality in terms of personal preference.
Do we want to carry on leading a reality that in our mind is right or would we rather lead a reality that exists beyond that in which we live in. When I stop to think about it, I begin to note that I'm stuck in between and it is time that I pick the reality I want to live in.
My choice is not going to make a difference to anyone but me. No one would know the difference but me. But it is important that i make that decision because it will affect the personal choices I might make in the months to come.
People around me also live in realities that are of their personal choice. I'm not accusing any of these realities to be unreal. Like I said, there is no right or wrong reality. There is only our choice of what a right reality is. Ultimately, we face the consequences of the reality that we choose. As long as we're sure it is the one that fits us fine.

3) Had a nice lunch while watching TV.

Perfect Day (I'm starting to think next week is going to suck)
Today was brilliant. Got up and left Raffles Hall for my first lesson of the day; Theatre Studies. Had it with Serena and after that the two of us headed down to the University Hall to submit her giro form. There, we found a nice nice nice cafe where we ate absolutely delicious food. She had apple crumble and I had ham and cheese sandwhich on some unknown bread that was toasted to perfection. I had hot chocolate and it was not too bad although Serena and I are looking forward to Prabs making us cups of it with real melted chocolate with milk and marshmallows : ) *hint hint*
Then, we split ways and headed off to different lectures. I had a sociology module from 12pm-2pm. Then headed off for a module I was really looking forward to; Community Service and Social Action.
It was as interesting as I had anticipated and I'm in a group with three chinese guys and because we had no better name to put in, we are now officially known as the 'InnoPandas' while there are groups out there named 'transformers' and 'justice league'. Go figure...
After that, headed off to meet up with Prabs and Ganesh and Naathan for dinner. It was nice although I didn't finish my food. Naathan and I caught up with stuff and Prabs gave me a set of speakers she was not using anymore!!! Woohoo!!!!!
Thank you Prabs for carrying that heavy equipment around!!! Naathan, FML....and Ganesh, hahahahaha (inside joke).
Got home, did the laundry and dried the clothes. Always feels good to do a house chore. And there's my day. I loved every second of it.
To Person I owe an answer to,
You once asked me a question and I feel that I really never gave you a proper answer. So here it goes; My answer would be yes. If you asked me again, if you asked me a second time, I would say yes. You're probably not going to read this but I feel better writing it out because I'm being truthful to myself.
Okay guys you can laugh at my nonsense now. And Sameer, comment on that as being cute and I'll take a gun to your head.
Love you guys!!!!

Moving In
Sadly, I wanted to post this up yesterday itself but couldn't because I couldn't get internet connectivity. Thanks Rajiv for trying though : )
Anyways, yesterday was tiring but pleasant. Went to school with Serena in the morning and attended my lecture for that day; Intro to public Administration...So many readings to do.
Then, Serena and I ate lunch at Burger King before heading over to Woodlands Regional Library for Splat! Rehearsals. By the way Serena, I'M SO FREAKING GLAD YOU'RE IN NUS xD
At Splat!, Yoga just had to drama mama one part but he had all of us laughing hard...espicially a certain someone hehe.
I had to rush off before the rehearsals ended because I was giving tuition. Damn it because Serena, Prabs, Naathan and Yoga met up and had dinner and script meeting.
By the time I got home after that, it was 9pm. My mum looked at me and asked, "Are you sure you want to move in tonight?"
I nodded my head and she packed up the stuff for us to shift over. Honestly, I love the fact that she came along because it made a hell of alot of difference that she was there.
And then, Prabs calls as I'm placing my stuff into my dad's car and says she wants to pass me something. As I was rushing off, I just asked her to get into the car. lol She hopped in and there we were, my dad, my mum and Prabs on our way to NUS Raffles Hall.
Once there, my mum and Prabs helped me carry my stuff up to the room and we organised everythin. Thank you guys : )
They had to leave of course but not before Prabs passed me a package with these items in it:
1) A box of my favourite chocolates!!!
2) A joke that she and Ganesh Wrote. I hate you'll for that btw.
3) A few pieces of paper and a pen for me to write stories xD
4) A pirates book from the kids section of the library.
Thank you Prabs cause the stuff really did help.
And mum, thank you for being so supportive and understanding.
Seriously, the day was nice.
The week has been great.
Anyways, yesterday was tiring but pleasant. Went to school with Serena in the morning and attended my lecture for that day; Intro to public Administration...So many readings to do.

Special Day
I got up from my bed realising that I was not going to use the good old room much. I'm shifting out to a room on campus at Raffles Hall. It's rundown and all but with my mum's help, we managed to make it comfy for me. I'm bringing down some more stuff to the room later today at around 8am. And I shall have officially bunked in.
Anyways, got up, settled some Splat! matters and buckled down to study abit for my first lecture that is today : )
Then, had a nice chat with Ravin over the phone about random nonsense that had no relation to each other whatsoever. Evantually, Prabs, Ganesh, Ravin and I decided to meet for dinner. We ate at Pastamania! There, we realised Ravin giggled very much like a girl although we already knew that.
Then, headed over to the RC where Sameer, Idham, Gautham, Kanitha, Sathim and my brother were studying. Ganesh joined them while Ravin, Prabs and I hung out abit more and chatted, once again, about random nonsense.
We went over to Sun Plaza bought chocolates and sweets before walking back very very very slowly xD. Prabs taught me how to harmonize with her on a song. I tried...lol
Then, Ganesh joined us and we crooned to several songs we knew. "Go on now go! Walk out the door!....I will survive! I will survive!!!" hehe
The Ravin and Sathim left and Prabs walked me back to my block. On the way back, the two of us started hearing a cat whining. We thought it was from above but it ended up being from below. There was a cat stuck in the gutter. Prabs, being the brave knight she is, lifted the gutter and rescued the cat. Brilliant job Prabs!!!
And so there's my special day. Nothing overly bombastic. Everything was simple. But special.
PS:
To someone special,
You know you are loved by each and everyone of us and obviously so do I. I don't mention it much, I rarely say it but I do care about you dearly.
No matter what I say, or the words that slip from my mouth, I will always have your back.
So trudge through the remaining months in army and suffer the blows of life. Because at the end of it, there will always be a group of us waiting for you.
No matter what.
PPS: PSLE Kids, 'O' Level and 'N' Level monkeys and 'A' Level darlings, a few more months to go so hang in there. After all the mugging and cramming and exam papers, we'll make sure you'll have fun!

The weekend was nice.
Saturday started off rather painfully with rehearsals at Woodlands Regional Library for the production under Splat!. Painful because I was in literally in pain. My whole body was aching and because of that I didn't want to travel to NUS for a discussion forum. If I had, I would have had to rush back for Splat! at 1pm. That was the original plan but because of the pains, I just couldn't do it.
Prior commitment with Spalt! had me at the library. AFT's name was on the line so we did our best. It was a grueling few hours where the actors had to remember their lines and their blocking while I managed the backstage with my 5 man team. Thank you Serena for coming half way! Honestly woman I don't think I could have survived the rest of the day without you. Hopefully the production goes well this coming Saturday.
After that, immediately went off to meet my mum and sis where they tried buying clothes. I was slightly out of character so I refused to purchase any clothes. I knew I was being unreasonable but couldn't help it. Then went home and trudged about wearing a dress and a simple chain. By this time, I was in a terrible mood but had controlled myself enough for everyone to think I was okay, everyone except my mum.
The drive to the restuarant where Avinesh's birthday was taking place was alright. I kept thinking things were just going to get worse. But it didn't.
When I got there, I ran to Haresh and Avinesh (ofcourse my sis and I pushed each other aside). Seeing the two of them reminded me why I was there. Despite being tierd and weary, family is family. My mum ingrained it into us that family was everything and hence being present at special occassions was essential.
Then Prabs came and the two of us sculpted balloons for the kids. She did most of the work : )
Then the cake was cut...this is the cake...
Brilliant isn't it? Care bear Cupcakes. And some of the cupcakes had care bear rings on it. lol we all grabbed them. I practically went around hunting for the rings. Found 3, gave away 2, left with 1.
We then dropped Prabs off and headed home. And that was when the pain returned!!! But you know what, it was all worth it.
Sunday came and it was obviously NATIONAL DAY PARADE!!! It was awesome. Started off with heading over to Arts @ Canberra to support Henry and Naathan. Henry emceed and Naathan was Stage Manager. Yoga came along and the two of us basically watched and enjoyed the hip hop performances. Then had to suddenly head back home to grab something important. Then headed back and by then, the live telecast of the National Day Parade at the hardcourt was starting.
And all of sudden, Archana asks us to become the motivators. Sameer, Idham, Yoga, Naathan, Prabs, Ganesh, Henry and I recived bagpacks and just started to rouse the crowd. It was so much of fun because we banged on the hand drums and switched on the heart shaped lights while shouting out the words to the songs. By 8.30pm, we were tired but still interested in heading off to watch UP!
It was brilliant and I watched it with Prabs,Naathan, Yoga, Ganesh and Ravin.
Up! is a movie for all ages as is every Walt Disney production. There is so much to remember and laugh at and I loved every second of that movie.
After that, headed back home with them all and ended up hanging out until 5am doing nothing but talk. We all enjoyed it and it was definitely fun.
Haresh had stayed over at my house and so had Soorya. Love Haresh so much. He was so adorable sleeping in sis' room. The little tyke was holding on to the lollipop my sis had bought for him like his life depended on it.
Anyways, once i got home, slept for 2 hours, got up and set off with my family for a picnic at Sembawang beach.
It was cool cause we played dog and bone and found like a gazillion starfishes along the beach. Had so much of fun that I almost forgot I was tierd xD.
Once we got home, slept abit then my mum and I headed of to NUS so that we could clean my room. YEAH! I got a room on campus lol. We attacked it like soldiers would take to a battlefield.
With that done, we headed back, did some shopping. Went down, printed some stuff, talked with Isabelle and Ganesh

Ignore the annoying woman speaking at the beginning of every video. I couldn't embed the originals without her so just skip it if you want and watch the trailer.
I had to put these three movie trailers up because I thought they were brilliant and have excellent storylines.
1) Daybreakers
2) The Road
3) Shutter Island

You're Mine to Push, Bully, Love and Protect
I can't apologise for the words I utter or the actions that I carry out. They are choices I knowingly make.
You know I would push and pull you just to see how far I can go before pricking your pride. You do the same to me sometimes.
You know I would bully you by tapping on your most vulnerable side just to see you tear from the corner of your eye. You do the same to me sometimes.
But you know what others see?
I would love you more than anyone else in this world not because we share the same blood or come from the same womb. It's because you let me fight with you when I'm agitated and pissed. You let me argue with you for no comprehensible reason. And even when we hurt each other so badly that all I want to do is curl up in bed and never get up, I hear your voice the next day and we both forget what happened the night before.
I would protect you fiercely from anyone who would hurt you and not because we share the same mother.
It's because, you are fragile and vulnerable in my eyes.
It's because you can be overly trusting most of the time.
It's because, I know you would do the same for me and our two little brothers.
It's because you're my little sister.

Musical, Bidding and MJ Tribute!!!
Seated at my dining table with my mother's unmarked worksheets beckoning me to flip the pages for her, I just had to swtich on my trusty, at times failing, Acer laptop just to update my blog on what's been happening for the past one week.
I've been MIA on the internet with my facebook left to accumulate nearly 103 updates, my yahoo email account to gather 168 unread emails, of which by the way only 45 were worth reading and ofcourse, my blog to rot and my words to gather dust. So this is going to be a rather and I would like to think interesting update on the happenings for the past one week.
But I must warn you though, if you intent to fall asleep while reading my post here, just change the webpage...and I'll blame your drooping eyelids on a long tiring day rather than on my long winded blog post.
So....let's talk MUSICAl. I had been busy for the past one month moving back and forth from the comfort of my own home in Sembawang to the National University of Singapore (NUS) campus based in Clementi. And for that 1 and a half hour ride, I travel to build and paint sets for the production I was aiding in. Let me tell you that for the past one week, it has been hell. Traveling early in the morning to the University Cultural Centre's theatre to bunk in the sets and carry them about has not only been physically exhausting but mentally exhausting.
Physically for obvious reasons; each piece of set had to be more than 10kg. There was a moving train that spewed smoke from the chimney and ofcourse the facade that lowered from the flybars. I painted two 15 feets horses and I've never been proud about my artwork lol. And let me tell you, the other sets were brilliant!!! There was a large fountain, a mansion scene, a cowboy street during festive seasons and so on so forth.
Mentally simply because I like to know everything and in this case it was impossible. Most of my friends would know that I'm a freak for details and information. I rather know everything about what I'm about to do before I do it. I think it just makes me feel more in control of the situation as I would be able to contribute ideas and such. But in this case, I had no leadership position in that department none whatsoever. But therein lay the lesson I learnt...
Plus it helped that Yoga, Prabs and my sis were there backstage. Thank you Yoga and Prabs for coming even with you throat infection and fever respectively. And my sis, thank you so much for coming even though I know you hate getting dirt under your nails...although you did in the end!!! But seriously the three of you'll were awesome : )
And to Uwa, Pru, Sasi, Suran, Sara, Anitha, Anu and Prakash, thank you for making it all worthwhile. You guys are force to reckon with and it was a pleasure working with you'll.
Right then, moving on. Bidding!!! Yes, well, only one paragraph will be dedicated to this. While the production preparation was going on, we had to do bidding for our modules and I nearly died outbidding others. God. Seriously there must be a better way to attain the modules you want.
So on a Friday night, I trudge back home, tired, with a gash on my bag, blisters on my hands, bruises on my legs and nail punctures on my fingers, I fall onto my bed exhausted only to wake up the next morning recalling that we had an MJ tribute to do. When I reached the CC, there were only 7 of us there and I have to admit, I was disappointed with a few people who promised to turn up but never did and having 7 people do an MJ tribute was kind of ridiculous. Even then, I reminded myself that we were doing this because we respected Michael and wanted to pay respect for his work as well as have some fun doing it.
As we set off for our first stop, Bugis, we start recieving messages from unknown numbers telling us what colour shirts they were wearing and confirming where to meet up. And so from a 7 man team, we turned into a 24 man team. And so, we performed at Bugis at precisely 1pm.
Then, having made new friends,we set off for Orchad, Taka. After having lunch and chit chatting most of the time, we performed at exactly 4pm and by this time, our 24 man team had turned into a 35 man team.
Excitement surging freshly through our blood we decide to perform it once more at Orchad, outside Ion. This was at 4.20pm.
And finally, we went to Vivo City where we slacked at the rooftop for nearly 2 hours. We played games, made friends with drunked people from Belgium and Spain, performed forfeits where I ran around the rooftop trying to imitate baywatch (failed attempt obviously), ate dinner on our laps, danced to the beat of a drumline group that performed there and finally ofcourse, at 7.40pm, performed 'Beat it' for the final time. We did twice though, one after another.
And why 7.40pm and not 7.30pm as we had orignially planed? Because, our speaker's battery failed and we had to find a power point. Thank you Sathin for doing so and tolerating my scolding. This video is kind of dark but if you do want to see a clearer one, click on this link...

Sometimes being a good leader means being a good team player. And when you're a team player, you're job is to make your leader's plan successful by all means possible.
