She’s the girl that has a few best friends & doesn’t need anymore, the girl that laughs the hardest at her own jokes. She’s the girl that will hang up on you, but then call you right back & say sorry. She’s the girl who will never leave your side when you need her, the girl who will go out of her way to cheer you up. She’s the girl who never sleeps without...

Heart To Heart
My mind’s oscillating! So many memorable and exciting things have happened and I don’t know where to start or what to start with. The past few days have been awesome and, at times, breathtaking. What a fantastic build-up to the highly-anticipated stayover on 31st! HMM, alright I have made up my mind. Instead of the usual (and boring) chronological order that descriptions prefer to...

Alex and the Glasshouse
When Alex first opened his eyes, he knew his name was ‘Alex’ and that he was part of something larger. What that something larger was, he had no clue as of yet. He knew he was special - he could think, breathe, see, and, most importantly, he could aspire for his dreams and desires. He could learn and adapt. He could be independent.
The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a...

Xmas thoughts
Christmas is a time for thanksgiving, reflection and basically emptying thoughts (both good and bad) from your mind so that you can focus on larger issues for the coming year. I have no idea where this tradition originates, but it is often said that on Christmas you tell the truth. So, whether there is truth in that statement or not, let’s just use it as an excuse to be honest - with others...

Stardust
There is magic in the air! Can you feel it trembling with excitement already? Close your eyes and take a deep breath – imagine the membrane of your mind expanding to envelope your surroundings. In the silence that ensues, feel for the pulse of the – oh! can you hear it already? You must have! The air seems to be throbbing to an ever-quickening beat, like the background music in an apocalyptic film...

Why do you believe?
I AM BACK! I am in such a spontaneous mood and I’ve just briefly chatted with a friend I haven’t spoken to in AGES :D Add to the fact that I have been spamming Bencakes with intermittent nuggets of thought and wishes for the past ?-hours while trying to access some trailer Vinod was telling me about, as well as putting into place my beautifully hectic schedule the next few days...

It feels so SURREAL.
Just yesterday, I was having Teriyaki Chicken (oh, I almost got conned into ordering Chicken Chow Mein which looked quite exotic but is actually just Fried Chicken Noodles) at Oceans 27 (what a cool name for a restaurant!) with Giraffe, Jevon, Joseph and Shihua, and I vaguely remember telling them about this peculiar dream I had the night before. It was about this faceless...

You see the smile that’s on my mouth? It’s hiding the words that don’t come out. And all of our friends who think I’m blessed, they don’t know my head is a mess.

Homeostasis I
Political intrigues make good stories, I feel. It’s just… the entire scintillating package of skilful manoeuvres, subterranean motives, and the whole hey-I-am-actually-frontstabbing-you-and-there-is-nothing-you-can-do-about-it episodes of dark humour, among other twisted (and often amusing) tales of course. That is, until the spotlight of this all-too-real theatre is shifted onto you – then,...

Full throttle
Life has been on full throttle in recent weeks. I have been:
Watching Glee (and listening to the OST)
Sending long emails (and reading equally long ones :D)
Reliving the good ol’ DotA days with Carmus, Chicky and Jos
Ending one project and starting another
Settling the Bali trip (2 more days! I better start packing…)
Planning/going for outings: Club of Clerks, A 5Aucy Affair (I...

It’s a little early, but -
It’s all bad; it’s all good.
It’s all coming to an end; it’s all starting anew.
Goodbye winter; hello spring.
And from time to time, let’s not forget to
rent a heart to the homeless heartless.

Gleek
I got the Glee OST.
haha you know what that means?
It means everytime I finish watching one episode…
I get to listen to more songs!
(because I really hate spoilers! and listening to the song before I’ve even watched it is like spoiling myself)
Yes, I’m on my way to becoming a Gleek.
MLIA.

Glee is truly awesome :D It’s nothing sophisticated, nothing different, in fact it’s cliche and common and wholly predictable, but that’s not it. It’s the way the whole imperfection comes together to leave you feeling genuinely happy for the characters and their lives as they each recover from those lows that life invariably drags us into. Enough talk. Just watch it.
Oh,...

less flunk, more fluff please
The flu is seriously sapping away ALL my positive energy. It not only wears you down physically and mentally, it also wears you down spiritually. By that, I’m not referring to anything religious but rather I’m referring to that intangible energy that pulsates in each and every one of us - the part of us that keeps us looking forward to being surprised by life, and the part of us that...

My 'Alice in Wonderland'
Being sick is a terrible ordeal. It feels like a fragment of your soul is taken away and hidden somewhere else, only to be recovered when all is well. You are still you - but, at the same time, you aren’t really you. So you spend long hours in dreamland searching for that lost shard, but somehow the only thing accomplished is having your thoughts tied into intricate knots which cannot be...
