My dear friend, tagged me in a survey about weddings. She of course knows that I am a dreamy romantic whose ideal past time is to set up her friends.
The thing is, I don't believe in marriage.
Coming from an Asian background,a marriage appears to be a licence to have sexual intercourse. You see,people in my country can be trialled under the syariah courts for having premarital sex. Telling your parents you are sexually active is still taboo in most homes. Sex is evil. Period.
From an Indian perspective, it seems like girls are treated like fruits, needed to be sold before they rot and stink. Marry them off before,god forbid they are old maids whose biological clocks has chimed!
I have seen many powerful man in my life, and their trophy wives. Many men who love their wives, and also several others. How many business meetings consist of going with the flow ,of drinks and women? Do brothels survive on the hormones of 18 year-old boys with no money?
And women, the so-called fairer sex.The marrying for money, status and security.
I don't want a marriage, it is scary.
I want a friend.A friends who is as crazy as I am. A friend whom I can make silly nerdy jokes with and fight with everyday; from politics to the Doppler effect. A friend whom I trust with my life. A friend whose company is home and shoulders are heaven. A friend who doesn't comply with convention and would rally against the world with me. A friend with abundant optimism; we are going to change the world you see. A friend whom appreciates the beauty in little things, in us.
Needless to say, I know fairy tales are not true. But,just in case I get lucky, eloping would just be fine by me, dear sir.
p/s: need to make parents happy, hence the need for eloping. Just finished an exam, pardon the grammatical errors...ok, must go noe...sleep becons

What are you looking for?
Dead,dry, red roses.
Lay there bookmarking the imminent ticking of the clock.
Passion and responsibilities.
We choose. Time doesn't stop. We waver. Time doesn't stop.
Walking down,down and up,searching.
Repeating, waiting, hoping.
Does it feel right?
Does it scare you?
Does it take your breath away?
I hope you find it.

Reaching, touching and living
There is so much insanity, so much cruelty.
Men wage a war, a war on thousands; the young, the frail, the poor and the innocent average joes just because "his" people were killed in a freaky,flighty terrorist attack. The same man who would not condone a child whacking another into a pulp for provoking him or her,would use millions of dollars to build a merciless, incredibly high-tech army to bring his enemies into a broken,ashen state.
It is pride. It is a statement of power.
You can argue, when in fear, men are reduced to animals. Their first instinct is to attack, to keep their family safe.
What about the second war?
We see so much hypocrisy,racism,fanaticism and blood.
What are we leaving our children?
A scary world filled with zealots of all kind?
Well, yes, we are but then some.
There is enough,enough love I see, to keep the faith.
Enough compassion,honesty and care. You see, there are beautiful fragrant souls that will keep us breathing, giving us time to nurture another.
And one day,we will change the world.

Lesson learned.
It is time. While I watched displays of others bitching,shunning and basking in an orgiastic display of ego, i learned. My views changed, vacilated, bounced around and now has settled down.
1) Walk away. Dignified. You may choose to set the record straight, but your friends will still see the best in the imperfect you.
2) People will let you down and you will let people down. Do not punish or beat yourself up.
3) Remember the kindness and only the good attributes of your friends.
4) If you can't, they are probably not your friends anyway.Separating from toxic people is the first big scary step. But when you finally do it, suddenly, it isn't anymore.
5) You don't need everyone to like or love you.
6) Respect is a pretty good alternative for popularity.
Thank you for those who stuck around and knocked my head while I was down with the self-destructive habits that almost veered me off the track. It is ironic that i am thankful for all that happened too. The lessons gave me a big fat blast of self-awareness and confidence. I will never be that naive or stupid ever again.

PMS
When I was a teenager, I used to laugh at pms articles. Headstrong with clear black and white view of the world, I scoffed at the so called outbursts by women were actually caused hormones rather than lack of self-control.
Besides the pain and discomfort, emotions seem to be all over the place during these weeks. Thoughts and feelings that I push away and refuse to acknowledge come back smoldering. Sometimes it ends in tears, and sometimes that makes it better.
We force ourselves to finish the bare minimum for the day, with back aches and muscle cramps, while trying not to be rude and unreasonably cranky, where no sitting or sleeping position relieves the pain. Sex better be as great as they say it is.
aNd why on earth we bleed when all boys do is wank themselves, and enjoy themselves in the process?

Dolphins at riverside.
Soft,warm and purple,the shiny steamed eggplant was stuffed with deliciously marinated meat. Next, we tasted seafood wrapped in delicate sheet of white flour. Yum Cha. Where my best friend and i pig out late on a Sunday morning.
We ate with a gusto, after a great night out. It started with Trina's graduation dinner at a lovely Italian place.It started with Freakonomics, the conversation. Floating in the realm of ideas and opinions, it was almost relaxing,natural and joyful. Some people prefer light banter, but it seemed too tempting to ignore, to explore, to challenge my belief system. What is right? Inherent feelings and its warping with logic. Another perception,another detail, another principle,another reason. Spiritual growth and friendship. Are they one and the same?
Little Jumbo, for such a cute name, the place seemed a little too sophisticated. Lilting, jazzy music wafted around the candlelit tables. Pretty cocktails. Happiness. Perfect place to reward oneself. I hope for a lot of nights like this when I am working one day, hopefully with someone whom i regard as my soul mate.
Back to the jasmine tea at Yum cha. We walk out of the restaurant satiated and like all girls, start shopping. We were goofing around when we tumbled upon Shlix, a gelato place as good as Il Dolce Fredo in Melbourne. Winter in Brisbane is not really winter, and the creamy, soft coloured flavours of gelato is just what we could not resist.
Impulsiveness goes hand in hand with a quirky sense of adventure. Kylie and I decided to walk the hilly roads all the way to New Farm where we found a magnificent view of the Story Bridge. We also saw beautiful newlyweds and their family. The bride was radiant.Her blue eyes were dancing with joy whereas the groom's eyes was tender and never wavering far away from his lady trapped in layers of crushed white lace. Mellowed with thoughts how lovely life was,we walk down the hill to stroll by the river.
Dup.dUp.DUp.DuP.Same feelings,same urges,same trains of thought.
The strangely hypnotising music under the massive bridge kept us rooted on the spot. Then we screamed. As loud and as long as possible before bursting into fits of giggles.
A little glimpse of a fin. Was it a shark? I yelped excitedly and grabbed Russell and Kylie. We waited and waited, but nothing seemed to be in the water. I saw it!..so i waited. A while later we spotted not only one but two dolphins! They were swimming playfully in sync in the stinking Brisbane river. We decided this was the highlight of the day and followed them all the way to Riverside. Then,we watched sunset in silence.
Later, we walked into the Groove Thing for the first time, and i liked wine for the first time. The classy yet homely interior design, the river and the gorgeous food is probably what that made Rachel choose this place for her birthday this weekend.
It was now getting dark. We were wrong about the highlight of the day. We had two. The moon was so large and low on the horizon,I thought it was the streetlight. City ferry ride across the river to our favourite fish and chips place. We had dinner and I head to Batavia to wait for another set of friends to watch Batman.
Batavia and a book.oh boy. I am definitely doing this again. They make the best tea. The chai aroma captured the beauty of the heavy Indian/Arab decoration. I read a book that was almost decorated similarly. Beauty was strangely tangible that night.
Batman. It was violent. Why does the society shrieks at physical violence and treats emotional violence lightly? Heath Ledger's acting was great, and his emotional depth made me wonder what was really going on with him. My heart hurt for him,and i wondered how many more people in the world, look alright from the outside but are in a spiralling turmoil, slowly withering away.
I cried all the way home.
It was such a perfect day, my first day of holiday.
p/s:Christian Bale was hot.

Happiness
She could almost taste it, the constant beginning of smiles.
A few pages to dwell on first. Relaxing, sunny morning ferry ride, passing the tall, formidable buildings. Bright blue, glimmering water by riverside, the cold air kisses her plump cheeks, letting strands of hair run astray. The yachts dance lightly with ripples from the citycat on the left while the smartly dressed crowd sip on their coffee in the trendy cafes littered on the right.
She peeks again at the lapping water, then the sky, calmness sweeping over. Confidence.
Up the curvy stairs. Magnificent architecture.
Keep walking, trying to be graceful in heels, till she reaches her destination. She now sees herself, for what she could not perceive before. The difference is, now she also envisions what others perhaps, did not see in her.
A dream, of values and mind, fused together.

Of trust and friendships
Friendship is weird.
Full laughter and sillyness.
Happy times and tears.
Respect and kindness,
Tenderness and trust.
No standards to be lived up to.
It is a funny feeling.

Conversations and friends
Perspectives and attitudes.
When life is harsh, how people react is the next page of the past.
If you swam with sharks and reefs, then i think you prefer stargate to ugly betty.
If you got all you want, you may become a spoilt brat with a sweet naive finishing.
Romantics, second chancers, forgive and forget-ers.
The optimists call them, well optimists.
As for the realistic breed, is that adulthood?

Sex and engineering
"It is good for a woman to keep her senseof humour intact and at the ready.She must be see, even if only in secret, that she is the funniest woman in the world, which she should also see as being the most absurd world of all times" - Maya Angelou
This quote was lingering in my mind, as I sat with my friends discussing shafts, lubrication and hardness. And I giggled to myself, not wanting to shock the serious-looking guys with the direction of my wandering thoughts.

Work?
Planning,dreaming,discipline.
What do you want?....fuck reality...what you hope,you can become.
Reality is imagination in action.
I have a problem.its perfectionism. I am not sure how to deal with it. And at the moment, I am too busy being perfect.

Sleeeepppp! And I wake up fine.
It is so easy to forget to count my blessings, to remember to cherish all that i have. And what I have is in abundance.

Tired
I am really really out of at the moment, waking up even more exhausted than when i hit the bed. At this moment, just for a while I want to leave it all. Perhaps it is a momentary loss of sight of my goals,lost of motivation, drive and reason. I just wanna go home, back to mum and dad where it is safe and warm.

Healing
It is a sinusoidal path, the cure for an addiction
Clear-headed and in focus, it is easy to fool yourself that you are in control. Fleetingly feeling almost as good as new. Not lost. Nor broken. The next thing you know, waves of familiarness rushes by, washing away painstakingly placed puzzles.
Thank God for damping.

sOLITUDE
Hugged by four creamy walls, shaded by the lake at the window, I watch, as the colours splash across the canvas of the horizon. Flowers litter in the rolling green grounds while the playful birds sing at a distance. There is so much beauty, where I live.
Quiet time for reflection.
Strange yet familiar, the tinge of calmness sweeps over. Heartbeats slow own. A launch-pad outside the membrane of your world; serendipity.
It is not what you have accomplished, what you have or what you look like.
This is you, peacefully indulging in a realm above superficiality.

Lost
Contradiction.
There are moments of pure panic when the real me surfaces to strangers. Yet, I like myself. Once I trust, however, it takes a bulldozer to shovel that faith. Of course, in the process you have the green card to shard me.
It was scary, but you were my best friend, I let you in, put a hole in the old fences. When I found out how far back all these took place, it felt like someone ripped my heart apart all over again. Why did you lie to me?
You made a choice, and I had a right to know from the beginning.Grieving and second guessing what went wrong between us was so confusing and wrenching.I really tried hating you, but I do not have it in me. So here I am, letting the undeserving you trample all over my heart.
For the first time,it feels like a sham, the memories cheapened and respect lost.

Fear
Your past, commitments, ties and loyalties
They are a sense of belonging.A sense of worth and balance.They envelope you like a warm mothers hug. A the bed of soft, balmy grass you can fall back on when you suddenly turn around and find yourself lost among kaleidoscope of time.
How do they cloud your judgements , views and actions?
Sometimes the fear of the unfamiliar. Freeze.
Avoiding a new experience,demonizing a new theory, shunning the unconventional.Fear. Where a dolphin appears as a razor-sharp, blood-thirsty shark
