Guys are sooo dense. D-E-N-S-E. Why? I have been pretty annoyed with someone and showed it every possible way I could think of (besides breaking things on that person's head), but to no avail. How come? Makes me even more agitated. I am mad about a topic which I don't want to share with anyone else…but most people seem to be in on it (in on the topic, not on me being mad...what's worse they think that I am so...understanding, patient etc....LOL). So every time we are at a social gathering everyone pokes their big nose as if it was their business, aggravating me. No I am talking about having/not having kids. It’s totally a different matter.

I have tried talking, explaining, shouting for the entire street to hear and even written a letter explaining things and the consequences...actions that solve the "situation"...NONE! Whilst I understand the reason behind the actions, I am getting more and more angrier because there doesn't seem to be a limit. I think I am on the verge of exploding. However much talking/explaining/arguments isn't helping. Maybe I shouldn't have been so lenient in the first place!!!

I am wondering if it is possible to interact with someone without forming any opinions of that person? Why is it so...that we DO form opinions...because these opinions do not let us SEE the person as they are. we are looking at them through a filter.

OK...so you have already an opinion of this particular person. Is it possible/ or feasible to look at them objectivly, without the opinion you have of that person interfering or altering the view? Are there any people of whom we donot have any opinions??? I thought of some people whom I thought I didn't have any opinions of, but after some contemplation I found that I DID have an opinion of them. Does that throw the question in green out the window? somehow...I don't think so. because I think the human mind is something that can be taught or trained. so, if you tried hard enough maybe ..just maybe you might be able look at and interact with people, without forming any opinions!

It's been raining since Monday night. Even though I am welcoming this cool break from the scorching heat, I am not very happy about it. The reason is that my outings are restricted; that is because I do not want to venture outside and be carrying an umbrella. so..basically that's not the fault of the rain, it's just my laziness..or something.

I am sore, and in pain... that is to say my right hand is. From the shoulder, extending even down to the ribs @ the bk. it is because our house became the grounds for our cricket "practices". Since I was complaining that we don't get enough excercise or do more things together, hubby thought it to be a good idea to play cricket indoors. ( we have done this before, but ofcourse this excruciating pain NOT being the result!) We played for a good 90 minutes. I am sure neither of us have sweated like that in long time.While my hits were saying hello to the kitchen cupbord, his were of a different calibre. Even tho' he managed to put dents in the fridge and the rice cooker, the crowning moment was when the ball bounced off the kitchen wall and picked a fight with the water pitcher. Ofcourse the ball emerged victorious having smashed a hole in the pitcher.

while he was hitting in all directions possible, I was trying to bowl properly...trying to get him out. Thus I overworked the already overworked right hand of mine. Little did I know it was going to take revenge on me. so, now I am aching. I hope to get relief from some balm and/or ice. but for that I have wait until hubby boy gets home. I wonder how he's holding up...whether he needs the same pain alleviation as I do.

I have crazes. Fleeting crazes. I am deeply interested or obsessed with something...and a week later I am into something else. Take for example..the year 2003 - I was into:

Crossstitch
Kolam / Rangoli
Hindus Valley Civilization (I even mailed Asko Parpola!!) So badly wanted to be working at an archeological site!
Collecting baby names (that has come full circle..I am into it again)
Making cards
Collecting and pressing leaves and flowers
Downloading music ( I still do that but the intensity is not there anymore)
Buying this Real Robots Magazine and assembling /putting together a "Cybot"
Going to Garage sales where I never bought a thing!
Creating my website

the list goes on....

Does this happen to anyone else too? or is it just me? My mom knew my "impulses" I guess. whenever I started something she had this look on her face - Thinking back, I think she was secretly shaking her head at me, wondering from whence came these weird obsesions of mine!

Aari was right abt the South African music. it does capture you. It even brings to the surface the carefree dancer within you. You are not aware of, or rather do not want to be aware of the people in the room - all you want to do is move to the rhythm. away from it all. there's only you and the music. Absolute harmony. Beautiful.
In case you were wondering ... NO! I was not at a tribal dance of any sorts. I listened to some music. After along time I had this uncontrollable urge to dance. And dance I did. didn't have to worry abt anyone seeing me as there was no one else around. It was like being synchronised with the music itself.

Wanted to go boating ever since summer was the season. So, off we went to the Lane Cove Park, thru the motorway and it's Toll booth which generates the "one long beep". But boating it was not to be, because they close at 5pm, and we arrived there at 5.15pm! Can't they open for more hours during summer?Hoping the weather is not so warm next weekend.

I have decided I should work out more often(realised that exercising once a week is not enough get rid of the fat). The problem with exercising daily is the motivation, or lack thereof. especially during winter!! it would really be great if I managed to convince myself to leave the warm, cosy bed in the morning to exercise. Evenings are prbably the best.

Well, Siren is starting DegreeLink so that should count for some exemptions at uni. Thnx Siren for letting me know abt it. I think I will join too. it ought to be much better than looking for jobs(and NOT finding any!!).

Anyhoo...life goes on, Population grows steadily. Joining the league of recent contributors are my bro and sis-in-law. Parents of a baby girl. that brings the number of nieces to the grand total of...3! This might be the perfect time to rant on abt the " Not So Good " of the child(ren) bearing and rearing, to point out the obvious health, economical and social benefits of NOT adding to the ever expanding population. But Nyeh! I think I shall go finish the welcome card I was making for niece #3 (not that she's going to read it anytime soon!)

I just played a game of "literati" in the Yahoo Games. I won, but my rating went down, and my opponent's rating went up!!!me no understand!!

well...there's a lot of things in life I don't understand. one of them would be why a plumber knocked on the door today. Apparently he was here to fix a leak, under the bathroom sink/vanity. True, there was a leak there and the water almost got to the carpet outside the bathroom. but that was like a month ago and after muuuuuuuch hassle,a week later the real estate agent sent in a plumber who worked his magic stopped the water flow. he said that the water was not leeking from underneath the sink but from the cistern. Then there has been another employee of the real estate agent calling up our old number for the past week and talking abt this leak(what prompt service!!!). and the plumber came today to fix it. I am thankful that I pestered the agent to send a plumber to fix the leak. Just imagine, had I waited until the agent thought it the appropriate time to send the plumber in...OMG! the thought scares me!. maybe they should update and syncronise their data eh?

Atlast we got the E>Way Tag. So since Hubby Boy wanted to test drive it, we went to the markets. one long beep...just as the brochure said!! =o)

We have decided that we need to see/visit more places, as he has been very busy with work after he got back from from his trip overseas and I did not get to go anywhere during the christmas break. Atleast to the beaches if not anywhere else.

I had a weird dream.(but then, most of my dreams are weird). In it, I gave birth to a baby. it was sooooo vivid. And then there was some sports event in the dream too. I tell my husband this, and he asks me if it was him playing cricket and if the baby was a boy!! I mean, no regard or worry abt my state of health after giving birth (even tho' it was in a dream). MEN!!

Yeah, so basically I am still looking for work. is it my fault that I have no experience other than the 2 weeks of TAFE work?Every advertiser is asking for experience. er..shouldn't someone employ us so that we can gain some experience?(unless they come in various sized packs of 1, 3 and 5 years and at affordable prices!!) I mean, if nobody employed inexperienced people where did all those experienced people get their experience?
