I read 2 news articles yesterday which really brought grief and anger to me. It is not personally related to me, however, just reading the articles could bring about such emotions. The first that I read was about a lady which was reported to be hitting a guy, assumed to be her boyfriend right under his belt area with her high heels. She later used the heels to slap her boyfriend across the cheek. Looking at the video made it worse. It was really agonizing to see the guy just bearing with the pain and not doing much to avoid it, yet, I felt angry because as a guy, he failed to protect himself from a woman smaller and i believe, weaker then him...gosh...

The second article was about a girl who was kidnapped in California when she was 11 and only found again 18 years later. By then, she was already a mother of 2,impregnated by her kidnapper. It was sad that, after 18 years, she was still treated like a sex slave rather than a proper human being... Is there no feelings of attachment for the poor girl after living with her for so long? Surely, she can be treated in a nicer way... instead of locking her up in a backyard filled with tents and all...hmm...

These 2 articles really spurred up dissatisfaction in my mind and as mentioned earlier, even if it did not affect me personally, I felt upset that such things happen in this world. It is as if people have forgotten that God is the one who owns us and not we ourselves..life oh life...

Went to Geylang Serai 2 days back on the 1st day of the fasting month. Hmm... not much was set up yet. The crowd was still manageable and I am anticipating more to come as the days go by. All in all, the trip to Geylang was a-ok..

My mom had been bugging me to find her this particular entry in the newspaper a while ago on how to make good fruit cake. We tried emailing the newspaper but they did not reply, so, when my mom got to know I was going to the library 2 days back, she reminded me to help her find the entry from the newspaper archives. So there I was at the newspaper section flipping through pages and pages of old newspaper articles.

Now, I am not an avid reader of newspapers, neither do I read them for leisure, I ONLY READ THEM when exams are coming up and I have to know the current issues that's happening. Even then, I only SKIM through. So, you can see how much I love my mother that I am prepared to open up piles and piles of written nightmare.

found it eventually, so, I am happy I did something good for someone after all *pats back*.LOL.

--> Life's trials and difficulties...how bottom can u go if you're already rock bottom? If you think that something worse can still happen, it means that you're still falling and not reached the bottom yet.

--> good things don't last. Be thankful that you have at least managed to embrace them while you could

--> Simple things mean alot. Don't overlook small matters in hand. In fact, handle them just like how u'd handle the bigger matters.

I have learnt alot.
Even if it doesn't happen to me.
I have learnt.
I have learnt when people tell it to me.
I learn by seeing.
I have learnt alot...

The fasting month is coming round the corner. In fact, the fasting month starts tomorrow...wooh...actually, I cannot wait for it cos that is the time I feel most 'religious' and... nice?haha..

Oh, by the way , had my first presentation yesterday after 2 years of not presenting in a class(or lecture). I must say it was pretty scary and even though I managed to get rid of the weird chatterings each time I got nervous, the chatterings have travelled down to my knees. And yesterday, my knees were shaking so bad, it looked as if I was doing some hula dance..huh...

The haze is back and my world is looking so foggy right now. When I looked out of the window yesterday evening, I thought it was my glasses that was fogging up my vision. After wiping them, my vision still remained the same. Not wanting to scare myself into thinking that I might be going blind, I quickly looked around my house.... all is clear. so, it must be the haze right?

The night is also getting unbearably uncomfortable with extreme temperature hitting me whether if I decide to on the fan or not, or if I use the blanket or not. I just don't understand how I can get hot 1 minute and be so cold the next.hmmm...

Anyway, I have to get cracking on my assignments now before they start piling up again. so, have a nice weekend people of the earth!bye!:)

Is it over...?
Does it still exist?
Don't know...?

Well...

THE BLOG IS BACK TO BUSINESSSSS!!!!

haha, after the rather long hiatus from don't - know what, I am back to blogging again!

Actually, blogging is pretty much like running. Once you start running on a regular basis, you cannot seem to stop. It's in you. But once you stop, the inertia is there and you just can't seem to get moving again. I got tired of looking at the same entries every time I looked at my own blog, so, I decided to blog. But deciding and really doing it can be 2 very separate entities.

Anyway, everything has been rather good so far. School has been taxing, that took up about half of my time. The boyfriend and I are on pretty good terms which means we are doing very fine=D...Running is good too. Just participated the singapore bay run and I guess I had a good time running with the bf.hoho...

Besides that, having the best friend back from Dubai was great....if only it was the hols and I had more money with me, we would have done more activities together. oh well...

All in all, the 1 month has been pretty mashed up with work and play. Tiring at times, but still fun too....not all has been good, but...lets forget those for now. fasting month is about to zoom in pretty soon and I am rather hyped up abt it!:):)
