Landing Lights

A prelude for what is to come.

Okay… Singapore. I was really against going at first. I thought it’d be boring, awkward and not worth the travel. Some of the worst assumptions I’ve made ever!

Sure I was down with the flu throughout the whole thing and the journey was long a dull but the people there made it all so damn great. They’re my family and they know how to have a great wedding. My cousins there broke bread (BOOZE) with us, took us out, partied and made my sister and I feel like we weren’t left out.

We even got to friends with people from places like Fiji, Hawaii and Australia. And weddings are always fun (despite the scandals & rumors) which are part and parcel of every wedding. Seriously some of the things that were happening were amazingly messed up but, they’re family. They’re Rajwani’s. And I’m a Rajwani and proud.

Overall, it was a good way to spend 4 days.

College visiting this week. Flipping a coin between Monash and Taylors. Signing of the next 5 years of your life to something is quite exciting actually. But I have till March before the whole rigmarole begins again. Wonder what I’ll do with all that time =D

It was a hiatus of sorts

I'm turning the tables
I'm changing the time
I'll do anything just to keep you mine
You're one of the angels yeah it's true
I'm standing in heaven when I'm with you

Well it has been quite a while. 1 month coincidentally. Wasn't planning on blogging when i woke up today but it is 8.46 and I'm feeling spritely!

Spm. I feel compelled to give it at least a passing mention. What can I say about it that hasn't been said already? Not the torturous hell we thought it was going to be. Not as stressful as trial. As hard as trials (except Add Math - paper 2 which was mind blasting as Russel Peters would say). Two thirds of the way through it isn’t that bad although it has somewhat lost it’s feel. It’s lost its thrill and its ‘wow’ factor. Another 3 subjects, 9 papers, 15 hours and 45 minutes spread out over 9 days.

Moving on from that countdown of sorts, MUSE CONCERT IN SINGAPORE ON THE 3rd OF FEBRUARY 2010! I’m there bitches!











I'm pacing myself =) See you soon

speechless

Graduation day left me feeling like that. One of the rare times that happens because I consider myself to be someone who is quite verbal.

And today morning a phone call left me feeling puzzled. Not sure what to think, how to feel, what to do.

But I think I'm just going to ride the waves. Simple is hard enough now anyway so why complicate things with decisions?

Crossroads

Going to reach it soon enough.

Engineering.









yeah i have a thing for bridges =p









or Psychology?








Either one is just as a backup in case piloting doesn't take flight. Literally.


Decisions...

Mannschaft

Which means 'THE TEAM'



Going to get this soon.Don't think I'll get it printed though. Why not the Malaysian jersey? It's not that I'm not patriotic or anything. It's just that Germany are so bloody cool. They're not the best but everything about them (the precision, the efficiency, the ruthlessness) and the fact that it's red makes it so appealing.

Cirque Du Freak

Forget Twilight and all the other vampire shows you've seen. The saga of Darren Shan ( 12 books ) by Darren Shan is the best vampire story out there. And now, they have made a movie which probably won't justify the books but yeah, still pretty excited =D I've been waiting for the movie yo come out since i started reading it back in form 1 or 2








And take a listen to Dead By Sunrise, they aren't half bad despite the really emo name.





It's Chester Bennington's (from Linkin Park) side project so the vocals are expectedly good.

The jar of life

Quite a famous story but for those of you who haven't heard it -

One day, an old professor, was invited to in front of a group of 15 psychology students.


Standing in front of this group and said, ‘we are going to conduct an experiment’.
From under the table that stood between the professor and the listeners, the professor pulled out a big glass jar and gently placed it in front of him. Next, he pulled out from under the table a bag of stones, each the size of a tennis ball, and placed the stones one by one in the jar. He did so until there was no room to add another stone in the jar. Lifting his gaze to the managers, the professor asked, ‘Is the jar full?’ The students replied, ‘Yes’.


‘Wrong’, replied the old professor, now pulling out a bag of sand from under the table. Cautiously, the professor poured the sand into the jar. The sand filled up the spaces between the stones. Yet again, the professor asked, ‘is the jar full?’ Without hesitation, the entire group of students replied in unison, ‘YES!’


‘Wrong again’, replied the professor. And as was expected by the students, the professor reached for the pitcher of water that was on the table, and poured water in the jar until it was absolutely full. The professor now lifted his gaze once again and asked, ‘What great truth can we surmise from this experiment?’


My interpretation.

~ The main things in life (the big stones) should be prioritized. Family, friends and god are the things that matter most.

Next, comes the sand (career, studies, hobbies) are still essential to fill the jar (to complete or lives).

Lastly the water, this could be interpreted differently to some people but for me, it’s doing my part in protecting wildlife and preserving the environment, charity or community work, appreciating nature and the beauty of the world.
