Re-Charged! Finally...

YES!!!! I'M SANE AGAIN!!!!

Finally got some time off to visit Godma and Granny and Grandaunt...
A female-side-of-the-family get-together!
Think about it...

From the oldest and sweetest lady...

1. Granny
Someone Assie relates to as Tweety bird's Granny
(Oui... I ain't no Tweety...)

2. GrandAunt
Ever smiling, ever loud, ever wise...
(ever gambling....)

3. Godma
Ever sweet, ever generous, ever supportive
(I can cook what I can cook because of her)

4. Joey (GrandAunt's daughter) (My cousin)
Super Funky, the family's WildChild
(She's gonna ask me out clubbing the next time she goes)

5. Evelyn (Cousin-in-law) (Married to Joey's Older Brother)
She was featured in the Newpaper recently being the Director of Carnival & Co
(Endless cupcake orders...)

6. Me
(Heck, I ain't gonna do a write-up about myself...)

6. Glennise aka Guni-Face
Sweet-16 smarty with whom I have an air-hug-bump thing with
(She makes me laugh... with her.. and at her..)

Life is good...
Sitting at the kitchen table, piping patterns on cupcakes and just talking, laughing and being yourself without the fear that you might be judged.

My soul is rested, my heart is calm...
I'm ready to face the world!
Cupcake-in-hand...

Hear me...

I don't know why...
I don't know how...
I try to look up,
But somehow feel the look-down.

I'm all messed up...
I need a day
Where I can just relax, play and pray...

So bear with me, make me smile
Make me dance... for awhile.
I would love, to remember,
Why live?
When life's such a blunder...

I need a hug, maybe a shoulder
To just sob, to just whimper

Look into my eyes, and understand
That even jokers need a friend.

I'm getting tired...
Eyes wide shut.
I'll see you soon.
Thank you very much...

Hugs and Kisses...

As I sat... waiting for inspiration, clearing my mind, I got bored too...

Hence...

Your Kissing Technique Is: Perfect

Your kissing technique is amazing - and you know it. You have the confidence to make the first move. And you always seem to know what kissing style is going to work best. Sometimes you're passionate, sometimes you're a tease. And you're always amazing!

Are You a Good Kisser?

Hehe... I practice on my teddybear...

My Faith in Mankind is Restored...

Lightning flashed across the cloud-laden dark sky...
Water fell onto our land as if a divine vessel had overturned...

Ok ok... so it rained...
I'm a little dramatic mainly because I've got all this pent-up energy in me and there is no one to release it upon (manifested as corny / totally lame jokes).

I was in town, getting a new phone (a smashing new N 6280 in ORANGE!) and feeling really happy about it because my previous phone had died on me, when it started to rain...

Mom and Evonne (a family friend) were with me and sadly, we only had 1 umbrella.
It was those fold-into-nothing sorts that are rather useless against anything with a force stronger than Dog Pee...

In any case, they felt that it was not worth taking a cab to where the car was parked so we had to walk...

2 roads to cross...

Honestly, it might have looked sweet to some... 2 grown women trying to conform to the shape of a spike-edged umbrella...but to me... it looked plain hilarious!
I bet only the top of their heads remained dry...

Not having any form of shelter, I could only get soaked while trying to make it look as if it was intended...

Felt a little sad though... did Mommy not think of how cold and wet I would get?

I trudged on, head down, silently staring at the rain pattering on my sandaled feet...

Suddenly, the constant pattering of rain on my shoulders stopped...
A huge shadow overcame my own...

I looked up...

There was shelter over me!

A nice tall bloke with wavy blond hair and the violet-blue eyes was standing with his umbrella over me.

The best part of it all was his warm smile.

He sheltered me all the way to Hotel Phoenix before giving me a pat on the back (his response to my "Oh gosh... Thank you very much..."), flashing his smile again, then leaving, walking towards where we came from...

There are nice people in this world... those who make the effort to restore that lost faith in our graciousness... those who inspire goodness in the rest of us... and finally, those whose littlest actions show that...

You matter.

A Chunk of the Amazon

Finally!
A fully planted tank.

I spent up till yesterday trying to decide on a theme.

Tropical Rainforest?
Feng Shui?
Amazon?

Finally decided that if I wanted Tropical Rainforest, I could easily walk to MacRitchie Reservoir... So Amazon it was!

I've put the 'test' fish in already... Just 1 Zebra Danio, to test the water quality.
I'll be going 'fishing' tomorrow... Not too sure what fish to get, BUT I'll definitely have Congo Tetra...
Do I sound like a nerd and totally un-cool?
You try pulling something like that off...

I'm at peace with myself.....

Shades of Purple

You Are Iris

You are an interesting blend of fun and wisdom. You definitely make people think about themselves and their place in the world. But they'll have fun doing it. You definitely epitomize laughter therapy. You are a very enriching and entertaining friend!

What Color Purple Are You?

Really? Gee.. I hope so...
Talk about 'Shades of Purple'...
That's also the title of M2M's first album.
I still remember squeaking to their tunes.
No joke.
My cousin and I recorded ourselves, harmonising too!
I've still got it all on tape.. it's not too bad actually.
Dare I put it out for public ears?

Heck NO!
