Princess and the Pea

Remember the little princess girl who was made to sleep on top of a huge pile of mattresses with a tiny pea underneath it all - all to verify if she was a princess?


(at the risk of sounding extremely narcissitic and absolutely dumb)
.. I feel a bit like that princess.

I changed my bedsheets and mattress protector yesterday. My scrunchie must have slipped in under the mattress protector when I was putting it back on. The whole night, I tossed and turned. I thought I my small towel must've got stuck in there.. cos it felt like huge pile was sticking out under my back.

So this morning I stuck my hand under the mattress protector.. to find my scrunchie. It's a small scrunchie. Would never have guessed.. it felt like such a huge pile.

....

So.. princess?

Half princess ?? ~~

Changing Tides

Speaking to a friend last night, he reflected on how circumstances and experiences have changed him in the last year and a half since he started working.

No longer as naive. No longer as keen to be noble.
Somewhat hardened by life, no?

>>>>>>>>>>>

Point is, things have changed. My priorities and demands are no longer what they were when I first started this blog.

My goals and aspirations have diverged - just a bit, not too far off from before.

I'm not shutting down this blog. But, I don't have as much to say here anymore.

I will continue blogging.. but it's gonna be .. different.

Now I know why DT is never depressed..

Apparently, Salmon prevents depression. The fish oil (Omega 3.. a name that increases the price of everything, including eggs) reduces symptoms of anxiety, sleep disorders, unexplained feelings of sadness, suicidal thoughts and decreased sex drive.

He eats truck loads of salmon.

Before you go and cause havoc in Salmon prices, tuna works too. So do walnuts..

Oh well, just another excuse for me to eat sushi !! :D

My Mind - the wonderer

My crazy burst of energy pushing me to soar to greater heights and to conceive larger than life dreams seems to have subdued a bit of late. In it's place, I have an engaging book. I've spent all my "free" hours, since I got the book, reading it.

Such an inanimate object, yet so capable of keeping me calm.


Numerous thoughts pass through my head, countless tingles of emotions.. Nothing overwhelming enough to inspire passion or action. I wonder with a sense of laziness, like the neighborhood cat that likes ever so much to lay on the cool surface of my dad's car.. or under it, during the warmer hours of the day, when that spur of energy will return.

Will it be too late then?


My twiggy body is expanding, with every day of my lying idle. "Oh, how I hate it..", I think as I stay lazily sprawled on my bed.

Persecuting Jews

In the book, people were burnt alive on the stake for heresy.

"The smell of burning flesh..."

It's inconceivable that one could commit such inhumane acts, with such pure intentions.

When the intent is nothing but good, does that make it right?

At that time in history, they (the Spanish King and the English Queen) can only be accused of irrationality? lack of an open mind? keeping to their faith and believes.

Such is the concept of faith - belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence, without doubt. A concept I simply can't accept.

..................

"I urge the Chinese not to become like the Jewish in America, where it is not enough that they control the economy, but they also want to dominate politics,"

"Consider this a warning from the Malays.. The patience of the Malays has a limit. Do not push us against the wall, for we will be forced to turn back and push the Chinese for our own survival."

It still shocks me. I want to think that this quote had been tampered with; that it has been distorted in some sense from an essay of a speech, as reporters commonly do.

How can it be that anyone could utter this (outloud)? Have we not achieved anything from our 51 years of co-existence?
