This entry should have been a few days earlier....but I didnt have the mood to blog till now. Alas, better late then never.

So this entry should have been on 15th June 2005...

Met Maygs my cutie pie after a long long long time (read, 5-6years). She looks the same and actually it didnt feel odd at all to meet her. I admit I was a little apprehensive at first. She is so cute and she still looks like the little girl I got to know many years ago. I think maygs was about 6 or 7 and we were in the same Veena class.

Anyways, Maygs graciously agreed to meet me at Plaza Singapura because the squid-brained ME didnt know how to get to Parkway Parade. We adjourned to Swensons and it was so funny because when we were seated, we realised that the place was empty except for us. We ordered food and yakked away...Maygs really gets into all sorts of situations. And the poor girl has a scar near her eye from her accident. I dont think I should disclose certain 'details' about Maygs 'situation' at the moment. *Ahem* Maygs dont hit me ah.....I think you would know what I am talking about :P

Sadly, I had to rush off for a seminar after that so we only managed about 2 hours. But I can say that Maygs is a sweet sensitive soul who has a tough exterior which she uses to protect herself from being hurt. Hei Maygs, if you are reading this, I just want to thank you for taking your time to meet up and stay sweet.

Thats a wrap for now....

Funny...

A married couple in their early 60s were out celebrating their 35th wedding
anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant. Suddenly,a tiny yet
beautiful fairy appeared on their table and said, "For being such an exemplary
married couple and for being faithful to each other for all this time, I will
grant you each a wish."

"Ooh, I want to travel around the world with my
darling husband" said the wife. The fairy moved her magic stick and -
abracadabra! - two tickets for the new QM2 luxury liner appeared in her hands.

Now it was the husband's turn. He thought for a moment and said: "Well
this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this only occurs once in a
lifetime, so, I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger
than me".

The wife, and the fairy, were deeply disappointed; but a wish
is a wish.

So the fairy made a circle with her magic stick and -
abracadabra! -the husband became 92 years old.

The moral of this
story.....Men might be ungrateful idiots....But fairies are......female

.

What is love? I dont think there in an appropriate enough definition for it. Love is when you care enough about someone that when they hurt, you hurt too and you want to make it right for them. Love is when even the smallest words or actions bring much joy and laughter to one. Love is when you miss someone so much you feel as if your heart has been ripped away and nothing will ever make it come back. Love means you make others happy even if it means making yourself sad. There are lots of kinds of love. parent-child, lovers, friends, pets.....too many to count
Is this why love hurts so much? Even though you dont expect anything in return, it still hurts. I have yet to find love...It still seems to be a very elusive thing.

Had a somewhat normal week. The realization just hit me that I have not gone out anywhere for the past month. That's pretty weird for a person like me. I usually like having some 'me' time and I make sure I go out for a movie or to the library and hang out a bit and then come home. But so far I have not had the urge to do so. Wonder what's come over me....

Anyways, I saw the vcd of Stuck on You yesterday which left me laughing so hard my tummy ached. Its a hilarious movie about a pair of conjoined twins who share a liver and live their lives stuck together. Being a twin, it was especially funny to me :) not that I am stuck to my sister in any way. In the movie, they decide to separate and what happens after that is what the whole movie is about. Very well taken movie by the Farrelly Brothers! Bravos to them.

Argh, I just scraped my little toe on the door and its smarting like hell. I have to go put a plaster on it now....toodles~

ARGH PMS SUCKS!

I have never had PMS this bad before. This time around, I have been having cramps since thursday and I just got my red flag today. I have been feeling like a big grouch the past week and I feel so bloated that I can hardly breathe! Now I am constipated, and I feel irritated and my back ached like crazy AND I feel nauseous. I just feel like digging a hole and burying myself. WHY does being female come with all these tortures? Its as if being the species that has to endure all the cooking and cleaning isnt enough! What happened to equal rights. The GODs are downright unfair. I protest. Males should at least have stomach cramps once a month; it shouldnt be just us females who have to bleed to death each month. HUMPH! That said, I am going to drown myself in painkillers and hit my bed with a book. literally! BYE

Guests from ENGLAND! Why is it that I have to start cleaning as though they are royalty. Its not as if the QUEEN is coming right? I cleaned from morning. I dusted and wiped till my fingertips wore off. I polished every ounce of the silly coffee table which seemingly attracts lots of fingerprints and dust the moment I turn around. Must be a conspiracy going on between my mother and the coffee table to get me to clean some more! HA! I am annoyed. I wanted to run off and go watch a movie but I was ordered to stay put at home. Now I am stuck in my room while they are all having a chat in the living room.

Thank God for the pc or I would have dug a hole and buried myself or squeezed myself through the window!

I warned you that I was back with a vengeance. HA! See I am here again. Ok yesterday I made stir-fried yellow noodles for the family. (Yeah, I had an ambulance on stand-by, but thankfully we didnt have to use it :P) I didnt follow any recipe though so measurements will be by taste. Here's the recipe. Picture will be up soon!

Rathi's Noodles
Yellow Noodles- 250gm
Prawns- 10 cleaned and de-veined, keep prawn heads aside for stock
Fishballs- 5 cut into halves
Chye Sim- as much as u want! approx 8-10 stalks washed and chopped into 4cm lengths
Ginger- 2.5cm thinly sliced
Garlic-4 cloves, chopped
Red Chillies- 2 sliced
Soy sauce, salt, pepper according to taste
a few leaves of coriander and spring onion chopped
oil
water


Heat some oil in a wok, add 1/3 of the chopped ginger and garlic and fry till fragrant. Throw in the prawn heads and fry till cooked. Add 2 cups of water and allow to boil. add a pinch of salt and add in the coriander and spring onion, let boil for 1 min and pour the stock into another bowl and keep aside.
Using the same wok, add 2 tablespoons of oil. Once the oil is heated, add the ginger garlic and 1/2 the chopped chillies and fry. Add in the prawns and fishballsand stir fry for 3 minutes or till all the prawns turn pink. Add noodles, followed by salt, soy sauce and pepper. Stir fry for 3 mins, add the chye sim and continue stir frying for 3 minutes till the vegetables and noodles are cooked. Taste and add more salt/pepper if necessary. Pour the stock in, toss the noodles around and you are done. Serve with a bit of cut red chillies on the side. Noodles should be served immediately or it will get too soggy, so cook it about 20 minuted before you want to eat.
