Nil was thinking of what to wear to prom, so he took out his suit but instead of wearing it himself, hehehehe, Nayna tried it on :D!

Ah,yes,that's my baby sistah,alright.

:p

I had a goooood dinner with the family at our usual dinner spot :)

:)

Here's to a productive Sunday, full day of studying. 3 more days!

This picture, yes, it's the same picture that's on top ^

I was browsing through old holiday photos and found this :)

It was so serene there oh and there were seals on the beach! I love animals.

La Jolla, San Diego. It exudes perfection.

My Nayna has her own blog now :p

Being the big ol' (and good d:) sister, I decided to help her with the layout,title,da da da.

You aaaare welcome, baby sis :)

And yes, may this be a good fresh start.

Love you.

These wounds won't seem to heal.

I think I'm in love. No,really,I really think so.
I remember posting a video of him(ortoPilot) a couple of weeks ago.
I never really cared for this song before. I suppose I just didn't like it much? But after listening to his cover, I was in awe, mostly of him.

He's really really good and notice his accent when he sings this part :
"When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years"
It's so.. *big huge happy in love sigh*
I get butterflies in my tummy listening to that :)



So good :)

You left me feeling high and dry.

I couldn't sleep at all last night :/
So, I was listening to songs on my mp3 in hopes that it would stop my mind from thinking so much and well, to ease my mind.

I was listening to a few Rooster songs and *sigh* I miss them!
I remember how crazy I was about them. I absolutely looove Rooster.

I don't know, some of you might not like them. Actually, I've heard alot of people telling me how much they don't like Rooster but I kinda like 'em. They've got a different vibe. They're just.. different but I love :) Their lyrics are so so, but for some odd reason, their music makes me happy. Their live performances are actually pretty good too and and the lead singer, Nick Atkinson,oooh, I looooove him. That husky,rough voice can melt,literally and his extremely good looks is a plus :)

Two of my favourites :)





Unfortunately, the band split after their second album :(

I found this pretty pretty flower/plant in my backyard.

I just realised that I haven't exactly taken the time to observe the things around my house.

Mm, the wonders of beauty, the wonders of God :)

I think everyone knows what the right thing to do is but yet, we do the complete opposite,including myself. I get so angry at myself sometimes.

Sometimes, when I'm about to do something that isn't quite right, I find myself arguing with myself almost,contradicting myself. I realised that my inner voice is always right. I need to remember to listen to it more often :)

Despite knowing what the right thing to do is, we keep doing the total opposite.
and some people say "That's just the way I am, I can't change who I am" or "Why can't you except me for who I am?" How is it possible that doing the wrong thing makes you who you are,right?

But then didn't God create all of us noble and good and pure?
So, isn't that who we really, truly are?
What I'm trying to say is that, we shouldn't put in our mind that we do the wrong things because we have to or because that's just the way we are, we should at least strive with all our might to make the right choices in life, and to remember how we were created in the first place.

"Noble have I created thee, yet thou hast abased thyself. Rise then unto that for which thou wast created."
-Baha'u'llah




Okie dokes, off to study.

Hello :)

Yuna - Deeper Conversation from adam on Vimeo.

I was browsing through Soul Pancake when I came across this question,

If you were to write a one-line message on a paper plane that a stranger would find, what would you say?

I have yet to figure that out.

But then again, I think a simple "Hello" and a warm smile can make a person's day. Well, I know a simple "Hello :)" would make my day.

Society today almost makes us think that it's just "weird" and "confusing" when a random person says "Hello" and flashes a big,bright smile at you but why?
Is is wrong to be friendly and say Hello or Goodmorning? or smile at you, just.. because.

Some people might think that it's a small step for society(in Malaysia) to overcome this, but I think it's a big step. Our culture has yet learnt this.
But then, some people are scared due to safety reasons. Mhm, I remember talking about this during Ruhi last Saturday, and you know, to me, in my opinion, it's okay to say Hello and smile at someone you don't know but I'm not saying you have to cater to eeeeveryone. Everything we do requires thought and wisdom. For example, if a suspicious looking person were to come up to you and say Hello and started asking you personal questions and it didn't seem safe, you shouldn't just follow him and da da da, you get what I mean.

I just think it would be nice to walk out of your home, and to have a neighbour you've never met before say "Hello", or even to walk in the street and to have someone smile at you and wish you "Goodmorning :)". Wouldn't that make you feel so warm,happy and loved?

I remember in my visit to the U.S. a couple of years ago, the people there were so warm and welcoming. People in the street would say Hello and smile at you and that made me feel so warm,happy and loved inside.
Even the cashiers at the grocery store would just start random conversations with you, asking you "How are you today?", "Has your day been good so far?" and things like that. Wouldn't that be so nice?

I think that's one of the things we should learn from Western culture, to be friendly and warm to everyone.

You are my heart, little sister.

I managed to patch things up.

For my baby sister, Shayna ;

I had fun with you today.
Doing a few covers with you,
Jogging with you, laughing like idiots trying to pull my shorts up that kept falling down while we were jogging and ended up stopping because I couldn't jog with falling shorts (hehe)
So, at the park, we sat on the swing, and talked, alot :)
I cannot remember the last time we did that. I don't think we've ever talked like that before but it was good, a good change.
Now, I really feel like we're sisters(haha). Well maybe because we've never really just... talked? but ah anyway I looove you.

For my little sister :)

Jess Delgado's voice is amazing.
She reminds me of Norah Jones.

Okay,huge shift of emotion from my last post.

I watched this from Soul Pancake and it's just.. hillarious!



A true born speaker, indeed :p

It's time to repaint myself.

Mummy and I were just talking about it yesterday.
About the person he is, or rather.. was.
The doctor asked Aunty Molly to call the family to go down to Singapore.
I think everyone knew it was time.
but there was still a slight doubt in my mind that it wouldn't happen so fast.

I don't know him well and we weren't very close but the times when he was around, I could feel the warmth and love he had for the family and for everyone he met.
When we had the big family reunions, he was always the funny, fun loving, happy, and loving one. Despite not talking to him, I could see that he just really wanted everyone to be happy.
Mummy said what he really wanted was for the family to be united. I think he made it happen.
I've never really experienced loss, except when my great grandmother passed away, but then again, I was really little back then, only 5.
I see things differently now.


Like how Mummy was telling me yesterday when we were talking about uncle,

Life's too short for hatred and anger.

I realised, on my death bed, whenever that may be, I'd want to be satisfied and happy and fulfilled about who i am, and know that I have given more than enough and hopefully contributed my part to better the world.

Mhm, which reminds me, I've got alot to work on and I'm not going to wait another day before I start to change or at least to try my very best.

I have some things that I must patch up today. It kills me to think that I'm only doing this now, after what happened but I guess.. at least, now, I know.

I hope he's happy, wherever he may be.
I know that he's not suffering anymore. He's in good hands.

God bless his soul.


9th October 2009, 1.45 am : My granduncle, Jayattan, passed away.

In such an ugly world, something so beautiful.

This never gets old :)

Please,stand by me.

I had a long Saturday yesterday.
A good Sunday today,I hope.

I had Ruhi yesterday.
Uncle Naren told us to watch this clip about three siblings in Africa struggling to survive.
It's just terrifying and painful to watch.
But that's reality and that's what's really happening today.



It's too sad.

All we can do is keep breathing.

Sometimes, listening to other people's take on the world is a little painful, it's almost.. depressing.
I feel that alot of us have lost hope, and given up on the world.
I wouldn't blame them. Yes, the world is crumbling right in front of our eyes, with murder, rape, kidnapping, war, prejudice, stereotypes, hatred, and disunity amongst everyone.
We see it everywhere. So, how can someone actually be positive anymore, right? How can we possibly have hope if times are just getting harder and harder, if the world continues to get worse? Maybe that's why hope is lost.

The conditions in the world are indeed getting worse, but yet, we wait and watch other people try their very best to make it better, instead of ourselves.

We cannot possibly keep saying that we want peace and unity if we ourselves don't create it. We mould the future of this world, of ourselves, and if the world comes to a state where it is beyond bad, then, we only have ourselves to blame.
I don't think that service to humanity is the job of only a fraction of the world, it is the duty for everyone one of us.

I think what we need is people that HAVE hope and people that help contribute to making this world a better place.
To me, both must go hand in hand.
Hope is what will keep us going. It is what will inspire and empower us to do our part to create a better world.

It seems like such a big thing to do,to "cure the world" and well, it is but we start here, where you live, with your life, the environment around you. We have to open our eyes and see that there are so many things that has to be done just around us.

That reminds me that I still have so much to do. We all do.


The day before I had to speak at the forum, I watched this video.
She moved me to tears.
She was only 12 when she spoke in front of thousands of people at the UN EARTH SUMMIT. She spoke there!
So if you think you cannot make an impact, think again because you know, you reeaally can.
Maybe not through public speaking, but everybody's got their own parts to play.

Amazing.
