Was out with 2 friends for dinner last night. Thereafter, managed to catch a movie 'The Brave One' starring Jodie Foster. The story tells of a girl, who lost her fiance to group of muggers, and how the experienced changed her life from then on. Changed her perception to life & changed her personality entirely. Learning to stand up for herself, she took matters into her own hands and tracked down the guy who was involved in the brutal murder of someone so dear to her.
Of late, we hear of many cases of murder, rape, torture even in our own homes. Even the innocent & young are not spared of this inhuman deed. What is the world coming to? What happened to all the values that were taught and instilled in us ever since young? It is sad to see that as the country develops, the caring nature of the society diminishes. Home, which was once safe for the family, is now turning its back on its own. Where else could children find peace and protection? Where else could they run to for help?
What is all this telling us? That our environment is no longer safe. It teaches us not to trust anyone. It teaches us to be selfish. It teaches us to be weary of our surroundings.
If only we could love our neighbours as ourselves, then maybe, just maybe this world can be a better place to live in.

Bad Night..!
OK, last night was NOT a good night for me man! Went to the city to have dinner with manlok and had to wait for AGES to get our food. Then when I got home, picked up the mail and got a mail from the tax office telling me my ABN (for those who do not know what that is, its Australian Business Number) might be cancelled due to inactivity! Incredulous! I have been paying my tax into it for both my office work and private jobs and they claim that its been dormant! And manlok's ABN which HAS been dormant did not even receive a mention!!!
And like asthough that is not enough for the night.. I switched on my mac to check my mails and got one from the library in uni reminding me that ALL my books are overdue!!!! URGH!!!!!! and they are all in my flat in college and not at home! Imagine that! cialat.. talk abt a bad night! *_*
HOPE TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER!!!!!!!

Yes, it's Monday AGAIN *sulk
What did i tell u last week? Monday will come before you know it. & it did. Smacked right in front of my face. It's the hardest day to wake up to. I didn't bother much when the song 'Fast & Furious' by terikayki boys went from soft to very loud on my alarm. Tossed my feather pillow ,hit the snooze button and fell right back into sleep. Lovely dream. By the time i realised i had to get up for work, i had no time but to freshen up and get going. The jams in the mornings and after-office-hours irritate me to the core. This is the reason why Melaka is still closest to my heart. Everything is peaceful there. No headaches, no rush, simply PEACE. I guess Melaka is a fine place for an unambitious girl like me. Small town. Close bonds.
It was nice chatching up with Pat over the weekend. It's always nice to be home, be in familiar territory and be updated on current happenings amidst my physical absence. Put two hot single girls together on a Saturday night out and what do you get? FUN. Nothing is better than a nice cup of vanilla afogatto and a slice of white chocolate cheese cake with a great pal after a scrumptious seafood meal with the Sims and Irudayams. The weekend is what makes me sane this week.
Oh well, this week will come and go again like the last. & in no time, we'll all enjoy a good break for Raya. Cheers ppl!

Gr8 Weekend!
Weekend was great! Mic & Steve touched down in Melbourne VERY early on Sunday morning.. picked them up from the skybus station in the city and brought them to the flat where they will be living while they are here. The day before, I managed to squeeze in a game of golf with manlok! Didn't do quite so well.. since I havent 'golfed' for nearly 3 mths!!!
Left them in the flat to have a rest while manlok & me went to have brekky in St Kilda. It was a nice day although quite windy! After brekky I manage to pull myself into Lit'ya Health Club to enquire about that massage theraphy that I have been meaning to get myself into. OK! I DID IT! Booked myself in for next weekend!! hehehe... NICE! Right beside the beach too!!! *@* This is the brief description of the therapy:
LI'TYA KODO ROCKS
INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIAN STONE THERAPYKodo Rocks integrates the rhythmic melody of the Kodo massage with ancient stone therapy. It uses ancient Primordial stones from North Western Australia that have been hand-carved to suit specific needs. These ancient stones are combined with Kodo Body Massage as the therapists skillfully use the rocks on pressure points to ground and uplift the body. The powerful healing properties of these unique stones, integrated with the Kodo Massage, achieves powerful healing within the body, relieving muscular and emotional tension. A choice of native aromatic oils is also used to either rejuvenate, harmonise or detoxify.

After they rested, we picked them up and went to the Royal Melbourne Show, its an annual pilgrimage manlok & me do and this yr, got them to join us! hehe. spent the WHOLE day there.. till nearly dinner time. Had a yummy dinner together before we called it a night.. oh well.. tomorrow is yet another MONDAY!
