Verbal Constipation.
I feel like if i dont say or write something, my head is going to explode!
But yet, when i sit here infront of a blank skrin i got nothing to say! (Haha..fickle minded teenagers)

So just to entertain myself, and since i already went thru all the trouble of signing in, im going to post up a no-meaning, pointless, as good as not there post!
Fake holidays does weird things to girls.
Nites.

God Blessed The Broken Road. (by Rascal Flatts)
Okok.. so i admit he's not the most good looking fella around, and he's pretty old,and normal teenagers dont usually go 'gaga' over country music with weird accents, and most of you probably asking "Rascal who???". i myself never heard of Rascal Flatts till now, but this song is really nice. Reminding us that things happen for a reason, and no matter what our circumstances may be we can always trust that our God is in control.
Lyrics:
I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love, along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
wipe my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign, pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yes he did
I think about the years I spent, just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost, and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan, that is coming true
Every long lost dream, led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yeah
Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lovers arms
This much I know, is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Lyrics:
I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love, along the broken road

Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true

For those who cant grow up.
What is a bully?
A bully is when you know someone is vulnerable and is depending on you and THEREFOR you take advantage of that situation. Why? Because it’s the only time you get the attention you crave for.
I hate bullies.

"Mona Lisa Smile"
It’s the sem2 rotations now, meaning semi holidays for me. Not a real holiday cos there are still classes to attend here and there, yet not a proper uni term either, cos half the time we aren’t paying attention =P
So there I was, trying to pass time in my apartment watching old dvds. Brought LOTRs, Grease, and a few chick flicks from subang to make sure I didn’t die of boredom here. I just finished watching “Mona Lisa Smile”
It’s already the third/fourth time I’ve watched the movie but I still loved it as much.
And this time, I got the chance to reflect a lil about the movie.
Women are indeed complicated but amazing creatures. Have a look at this song by Elton John
“ The Heart of Every Girl”
In the heart of every girl
There is a woman waking up
Like sunlight spreads across the world
A smile for us is just enough
In the heart of every girl
There is a home-spun family dream
Of life that’s filled with so much joy
From a curly head cutie to a teenage queen.
Honeymoons and summers prove
We’ll always love a bride
The gift you gave us all
Is the one you hold inside
This lucky life, this crazy mixed up world
Is all because we love what lives
In the heart
Of every girl.
In the heart of every girl
There is always room for valentines
And boys to kneel and take their hands
With words as sweet as summer wine
And in the heart of every girl
There is a rose for every spring
A peach that’s fragrant and divine
She shines just like a wedding ring.
Her eyes can light up any room
The moment she steps in
Intoxicating everyone
Her laugh alone should be a sin
Sweet right? Come to think of it, I haven’t met a single girl who wasn’t totally sweet in her own way.
But sweetness, and loving flowers, or lace or pretty gowns doesn’t mean that girls are bimbos or air-heads.
Women… I mean wow.
To think of how much things have changed in the past few decades, its amazing! We came from having no say in anything except what gravy to go with the chicken, to being allowed into all-girls colleges, to given the chance to compete equally with our male peers. All this in a few decades. The scene 50 years ago would have been so much more different from the freedom we are getting now.
Its really humbling to sit down and acknowledge the work so many women and some men who have given us a chance to be where we are now. If I were born just a few decades earlier, and wanted to choose medicine as a career, it would have been whispered behind my back that I was “abnormal, and would grow an enormous head or suffer from severe bowel disruption”
(this is true by the way, read it in a book about describing women in medicine, cant remember the title but it was from our very own IMU library actually =P)
We look around and smile because we pride ourselves as being a society that has already gone thru so called 'progression', that gender oppression is only a thing of the past. But we fail to realise that the great 'progression' we've experienced, that the 'past' was only very recent. And we take it for granted.
The fact that I am NOW, given the chance to sit in a lecture hall, enter discussions as an equal and answer the same question paper as every other person, is so…..I’m just thankful.
I not even half as brave or smart as those women who strived to prove our gender worthy to be considered, but yet it is our generation who is given all the benefits of their labour.
Quotes from the “Mona Lisa Smile”
-To change for others, is to lie to yourself
-I’ve heard her called a quitter for leaving, an aimless wonderer. But not all who wander are aimless. Especially not those who seek truth BEYOND TRADITION… BEYOND DEFINITION… BEYOND THE IMAGE.

*splish splash*
Altho my toilet light is currently busted and i'm depending on Eugene's trusty "waterproof" torchlight to find my soap and shampoo,
I love bathing these days.
Its the only time i dont have to worry.
