And, the word "bussing" is new to me

Yesterday,I...

What a blissful morning! After 12 hours of sleep ( I know, I am a natural sleeper , is there such a thing? hehe), I feel so good, bursting with energy. It is almost a month since I shifted, and I am getting use to this place. I discovered a jogging park last week and thought I shall go explore the area. And, I did yesterday morning. It feels soooo good. I love this jogging park-it is filled with people and sort of gives me the feeling like I am in touch with nature with all the jungle like trees and with sounds of the insects and birds. In one corner, there was the aerobics group and the other end the tai-chi group. A real stress free place. After the jog, it was visiting a friend time & than early lunch, and reading the papers while watching High School Musical 2 & Oprah.Because I liked it a lot, I went for jogging again in the evening=) Than I discovered more things. There was a man in the corner who sells hot dog & drinks, there was also couples dating, & a playground “infested” with kids & a photo shot. Yup, a photo shot by a Chinese couple that will be tying the knots soon. She wore the prettiest white wedding gown. All eyes were on her. That’s because we are all in clothes soaked in sweat- a- T shirt & track suit while she on the other hand looked like she got lost among the joggers, thus all the attention. I had a beautiful day. How was yours?

S-U-S-H-I

Now, this is one of my must eat dish each time I am back home-sushi! I know tons of u guys love it. Is it tasty? Well, I wouldn't really classify it as such.So, why do I like it? It is fun to eat! Really it is. Try it if you haven't. The idea of putting the tiny tiny pieces into your mouth along with the wasabi- not only it is fun, plus the wasabi brings out funny and different expressions in all of us.The sauce ( referring to the wasabi, not sure though if that's what its called) gives you the "shooting" sensation. I don't think there are words to describe the feeling unless you give it a try! So do try and let me know how it is.

Caution= For the first timers, please consume a very tiny amount of wasabi! You will see why Chilling out with mum in Sushi King. Chechi joined us after work. I love this place. Besides the dish, the ambiance is definitely the other aspect. Oh and the
moving sushi plates on the table top too!

My spectators.While I eat they watch=) Mum especially, it is so hard to get her to try anything outside-miss fussy pot! I even tried the emotional blackmailing thingy to try getting her to eat like how she use to do to me when I was a kid " Ruby ma, if you love me, you have to eat the vege" Sounds familiar?=) Anyway she tried a pinch of the wasabi and held on to the table,hehe.

The Good Thing About Exams

How was your day? Hope all is well. Yes, you, I am asking you=) So, today I came back 2 hours before the actual time from the hospital.My legs are aching due to the on call yesterday and my eyes is constantly falling "asleep", it is as if they are living in their own world. Both the upper and lower lids just never asks me before meeting up with each other. To add on to that, the sun outside is practically piercing through my skin. Can someone please patch up the ozone layers? And I woke up late today morning + Aunty "flow" came visiting yesterday. So, I was totally exhausted!Now, instead of sleeping, I was reading the papers( felt like I have not read them in ages).Thought of browsing the net before starting my studies. And, with that said, this is where I ended up. Anyway, while studying for my professional exams last year, I sort of got in touch with the artistic person in me. And this is what I created during my holidays, thanx to my exam induced ideas.

( Yes , it is the elephant god- I totally love Him! So how, is this nice?)

I am planning to create more "stuffs" in the future and I am finding the time to start painting once again.Hopefully that happens soon. With that, adiyos! May God fill your life with happiness.

Fire-y Morning

Good morning.I woke up today morning with the dream of fire. Twice the fire broke out in my neighbour's house at different corners of the house but we manage to put it out.I felt a little uneasy with the dream, so I thought I will just check it up anyway. So here goes...( from Dream Moods: Your Dream Symbol Interpretation)

Fire
Depending on the context of your dream, to see fire in your dream can symbolize destruction, passion, desire, illumination, transformation, enlightenment, or anger. It may suggest that something old is passing and something new is entering into your life. Your thoughts and views are changing. In particular, if the fire is under control or contained in one area, then it is a metaphor of your own internal fire and inner transformation. It also represents your drive, motivation, and creative energy. Alternatively, the dream may be warning you of your dangerous or risky activities. You are literally "playing with fire".

To dream that you are being burned by fire, indicates that your temper is getting out of control. Some issue or situation is burning you up inside.

To dream that a house is on fire, indicates that you need to undergo some transformation. If you have recurring dreams of your family house on fire, then it suggests that you are still not ready for the change or that you are fighting against the change. Alternatively, it highlights passion and the love of those around you.

To dream that you put out a fire, signifies that you will overcome your obstacles in your life through much work and effort. If you are setting a fire to something or even to yourself, then it indicates that you are undergoing some great distress. You are at the brink of desperation and want to destroy something or some aspect of yourself.

Just To Lighten Your Day

So, this is what happened. My big sis was ironing, mum and myself just chilling on the bed when Thejas walked in. Thejas is my sis's kid by the way. He was complaining that he did not like the toasted bread that my sister packed for him to school that day. So, he decided to instead " teach" her how to do it. .....He came back after 5 minutes with this piece of paper. Oh Boy, we sure had a nice time laughing! Love the kids!

What he really meant was to "put the jam and peanut butter on to the bread." Haha.I am not exactly sure how well the "jam with the beard" taste. though.Anyone want to try? Where do I buy the beard from anyways?=)

That's Him & Me.

Only 2 Minutes- To Fall In & Out Of Love

This is still about the wedding- not entirely=) Well , I thought of just posting it separately anyway. Just so that you know, that, that night at the dinner, standing at the gazebo, looking at everyone coming forward to congratulate her...suddenly my eyes just stopped wondering. I caught the sight of the most beautiful, gorgeous, to-die for pair of eyes shining under the light.It had a very magical colour and was crystal clear. Something about it was so different. Mysterious. The feeling of "warm butter sliding down the hot toast" was surreal that moment! After he left, I walked to my sister, and...

Me:"Chum, I saw this friend of yours with such gorgeous eyes shaking hands with you. Who is he?"

Sis: Huh, G..... la. That's his girlfriend by the way.

Me: Omg, he is the one. How come I have never seen him all this while. No NOOOO, he did come to my house quite often but where the hell was I? Why only now I realized his presence ( Where is the wall----need to bang my head......)

Sis: He is getting married in June.

.....And, there goes the warm butter, sliding all the way to the table top...*sigh*
