I've always wanted to know where the tradition of cutting cakes on a person's birthday came from. And why is it cakes? Can't we buy pizzas or a burger? And why do all cakes look the same?
Why am i asking this?
Cause I hate cake. More than seafood.
Yes I actually hate some food items. Hard to believe given my immense appetite (If you doubt this statement, then you've been majorly mis-informed). But I hate cake. The softness, the crumbly-ness... Just cake.
Now that I've gotten that out of my system, its my Dad's birthday today. Not that we did anything hoo-haa last night for him, just surprised him while he was sleeping with a cake and the usual happy birthday song (which by the way may I add, sounds like it was composed by somone with intelligence akin to a half-eaten millipede)
My relationship with my Dad nowadays is like using handphones to make IDD calls to India. You rarely get any signal, and when you do, you're shouting at the top of your lungs. But thats how its like. Everyday its just silent acknowledgement of each other's presence. Occasinally 9Once a week) he'll ask me if I've eaten. I'll ask him back the same question. We'll both say yes.
That's it.
We've filled our communication quota for the week.
This is what long-distnace relationships with your parents does to you. After a year of being seperated, I find it hard to connect with him on any level. I know he loves, I know I love him. But communication is dead.
Its not uncomfortable for me. I dont see it as a problem. I've already outgrown my need to depend on on a fatherly figure. I don't know if he sees it as a problem. I hope he doesn't. I barely have time for anyone else.
But there are some times when we feel connected, or our communication breaks the usual quota of a few words. Last night, when I told him the news, he was more than happy. We talked about it while they ate cake. It was good to be able to connect with him on some level. Maybe today I'll talk to him a bit more, find out how's work and everything.
Just maybe...

Back to Work
Monday again. Why are weekends getting shorter and shorter? Im actually missing school. Learning new things on a daily basis is much more fun and challenging. Not that work is boring or anything; I discover interesting things daily, especially in morning panels, but life here CAN get routine after a while. Typing out reports for prolonged periods of time is not exactly fun, but hey I'm just an intern. It's my job to be a SKW.
Peter Pan auditions just finished, and I'm actually happy with the fact that we saw new fresh faces. Quite a fair bit of new people. Don't bother about the fact that we didn't manage to fill up all the roles in the Cast and Crew; be happy that we actually managed to fill some up.
Fluk! I sneezed so hard I banged my head into the keyboard.... Yes I typed Fluk! Still trying to keep my profanity levels to a bare minimum, even in the cyber world (yeah right)
Should be getting back to work now, lots of reports to type... Haix... I hate Mondays.
Maybe you're right about what you said... But then again maybe you're wrong... I hope you're wrong...

To the Girl Crying in the Mirror
You and I have never talked in God knows how long. Its been months I should think, maybe even a year. I dont know why we stopped. Maybe its because we had our own circle of friends, or that things happened between us that only time could heal, but i want you to know I'll be here for you...As a friend.
To make you laugh when all you feel like doing is crying...
To make you smile when everyone else is frowning...
To wash it away when it everything hurts
I don't know how, or why or what happened... But just know that if you need someone to talk to, I'm here.
Even if you cant see me, I'm always here.
-Woof-

9 1/2 Hours
Weekend's here! Woots!
And that means 2 days of fun and relaxation. Actually no, Peter Pan Auditions on Sunday, and a lot of prep work lined up over the weekend.
Office is quiet cos everyone is out on their way to some CNA thingy, but I have some work to do in office. Life sucks? Not really. I can lay off a bit when no one else is around, plus there is something relaxing about having the sunlight stream through you window and you can look out at the city skyline from your the comfort of your seat while playing songs out of your speakers... Calming really.
But 9 and a half hours of not-much-to-do and Internet access does eventually get to you, as demonstrated below:

Oh wow....
Teabagged!
Now I know why we dont take terrorists seriously
It has finally happened...
This is really one of the most hilarious vids I've seen. Its old, probably fake, but you can help but chuckle:

2 Sides of the Coin
I find myself to be amusing. Not saying I'm funny, but for once, I want to grab a Jumbo hotdog and a large Coke and just sit down and watch myself for a day and see how i get on with Life.
One day i wake to find my table filled with notes and to-do lists and emails in my inbox and lots work piling up outside my door, and I actually sit down and try to do it, well, I've been trying to do that for the past few weeks. One part of me wants to grow up and out of the loud, nosiy me to something less loud and noisy.
Then there's the other part of me that wants to scream in the middle of the office, get a tattoo and go create trouble and wreack havoc. Im not a troublemaker, but there are times when I have done stupid things on purpose with the intentention of creating trouble, or attracting attention.
I have to find a balance between the two, which to me will be the amusing part. While my two sides try to figure out the solution, Im jsut gonna chillax with my all time favourite song:

So Passes a Decade..
I wrote this on New's year's Day itself, thought I'd publish it now.
Well, a new year is here. Most people are out, reveling in the this major holiday. Many are making new resolutions, others promising to fulfill their resollutions of last year. But I'm at home, in front of my laptop.
Why?
Refelction.
Ok, fine. Not a word I'd associate with myself. i do stupid things first then ask why I cant do it, but for once I'm actually just sitting down calmly (The Cult is blasting off my speakers...) and thinking of life (While my brother is scremaing for me to turn the speakers down).
2010...It's not just a New Year.
It's the start of a new decade, and that to me has more impact than anything else... It marks the start of my second decade of my life... Epic shit yeah i know..
Lets recap what Happened this Decade, starting from the start..
- Marked the New Millenia which i spent at my Grandma's house with all my cousin... Can still remember the party and the love we all had for each other, before everything went to shit.
- My first Drama performance ever. I played a tribal dude out to find his palce in the world... Can remeber the last minute practice at Priya's house.
- My first Dance performance. It was to an indian song, Don't judge me. but it was nice.
- Skipped countless lessons and after-school classes to hang with Satish and Loges... Those were nice days.
- PSLE Year. Crazy and boring at the same time. Got shouted at almost every single day cos I couldn't be bothered to do homework. Teacher said I would enver make it...Got 244 points... Suck my dick bitch.
- Sec 1! Caught the Trading Card fever, stoel money from Dad's wallet to buy cards for my bro and me.
- Got caught for trying to climb into a classroom cos our God-dammned key-holder was missing. Sorry Shaam...Got you involved...
- Shaam, Azrin, Azhar and me tried our hand at a class newspaper...Failed after edition 2... Oh well, we had fun with Daniel's 'downpayment' which by the way we never returned... Loser.
- Watched a movie with the guys...My first movie with friends. Can't remember the movie though...But that was good.
- Sec 3, joined drama club. Time of my life... All the stupid thigns we did. Not jsut in drama club. Outside of school (Remember Yishun Sec Sl**?) This was also the eyar when SIndhu found out I crushed on her...Embarassing
- Defaced the backstage of AI's hall with anarchy signs and 'F*** You!' messages. Climbed up into the flybars and hang upside-down from the bars 20 feet off the stage... Emptied all the fire-extinguishers into the hall... Everyone was wondering how come the hall was so dusty? yeah that was us. Got caught and were caned... Not so bad...
-Sec 4... 1st girlfriend, 1st breakup, 1st patch back... O'levels and other stuff too. Pretty decent year, not counting the number of times we tried to drive off our geo teacher.
- Poly life starts... 1st sem was awesome. Met new people, new friends, new campus, new place... 2nd sem started with major let-downs... Break-up the night before. But fuck that...
- Year 2 was full of life-changing moments... 1st sem started with me deciding that I needed to change my life. Joined SDZ, Cinderella: Revamped!, dropped out of SDZ, major emo moment towards the end of the year, finally got over her when in India...
-Year 3, new home. Final year Projects and AFT starts... Clash of the schedules, but pulled through.
- MJ passes away. (If this isn't epic enough, God Knows what else)
- Start of Peter Pan: Revamped.
- End of the Decade...
It was a good decade. I want to see if I can make the next better...
As I publish this from my com at work, I look out the window at the sunny sky with Hinder screaming in my ears, I wonder what the next decade has in store for us...

Usher into the New year of Madness
So its been a while...
Understatement of the Year...
And the year is only 6 days old now! Not even a week!
Countdown performance was GREAT! (I'll hereby reserve the word AWESOME for really cool stuff) Me, Kanitha, Isabelle, Colin and Jason managed to chunk together body movements and put a good dance performance.
But the really AWESOME stuff is that some of us have been infected with L4D2 virus and cant seem to get enough of it! Almost every toher day we are at some Indian lan gaming centre (dont ask dont tell) blowing off undead heads and screaming at each other...
By the way...
To whoever keeps lighting us on fire by throwing badly-aimed molotov cocktails...
If I find out who you are, I'll kill your ass with friendly fire...
Cant really think right now. I have a swollen eyelid the size of mothball and im blogging from work. Com's down again so I have to wait for tech to set it up for me before I can finsih my work. I'll go home early i think... Cant see out my left eye right now.
Why having a swollen eyelid is fun:

Why having a swollen eyelid is fun:
- You can wear a sunglass and NO ONE CAN SAY SHIT TO YOU!!!
- Looking at the world through one eye kinda makes it entertainingly scary cos you never know when someone comes up on you from one side...
- The look on that kid's face this morning when I took off the sunglasses...Priceless...
