Singapore , I expected MORE!

Last week i went on a vacation to Singapore and i was so exited, obviously because everyone told me that it's a wonderful place.. so i was looking forward to see a spic and span city without dirt. But it was a total disaster from the time we landed..
first the hotel we booked told that we only booked for 2 when actually we had booked for 3 and when my dad asked whether we could change it in to a family room , they said NOOOOOOO, i donno why was that though, we were exhausted and had no place to go, then after about hour we found this place which was an apartment like place which was very very clean and EXPENSIVE it was 115$ per night, which was same as a 3 star hotel , then anyway since we were so tired we took it, guess what the room was two storey one, my place was upstairs with a bed and a chair, i could hardly stand in that place because every time i stood up i banged my head .

Anyway the next day dad wanted to take me to SENTOSA ISLAND which i was very looking forward to, the Hotel ppl told that taking the bus was easier and cheaper so we took it, but when we got inside the bus , the driver shouted at us to get down because we didnt have exact change. DUH! actually we had but he didnt give us anytime to find it, how the hell were we supposed to know that we had to have exact change and anyway we didnt know the fare either, my dad was soooooo pissed he said let's take a taxi , i think that's the way Singaporeans show hospitality...
Anyway Senthosa was nothing like i expected, i have seen much nicer places here in malaysia, believe me SUNWAY in malaysia is 10000 times better..

Then in the evening we went to Little India, that place made me faint, it was so smelly and filthy it was like i was in chennai, covered with dirt, and it smelt like rotten meat.. and even though i heard u were not supposed to spit on the road , i saw many doing so... my father was like Oh God! what happened to Singapore it was not like this 5 years ago.

I have to say Orchard road was very nice and clean , that part was like Singapore. i hope it remains so!
I donno whether u guys have seen but I have seen these huge bragging adds about MDIS in srilankan papers, telling what a great place it is, and i saw the place it didnt look that great to me..

Stuff is overly expensive there, one parata(roti) is 2$ where as in Malaysia its only 0.90 cents in Rm, and by the way to keep u in track 1 sing$=2.5Rm..

Once one of my friends told me that even Singapore air is so much nicer but this time i went, i only felt dust and smoke... so i clearly made up i mind to cut off Singapore from my holiday destinations

Who is guilty

OK this is something we had to discuss in our work place communication class, and there were some heated arguments about this , so thought of getting u guys opinion as well . OK this is the story , a 16 year old year kid is caught by the police for drug trafficking, and when he was questioned ,he told that he did it to help his father to pay a loan he took from a lone shark ( a place who loans u money with a HUGE interest and which is illegal) because the lone shark has threatened to kill the father if not. so in Ur opinion who is Guilty? the boy (who is still a minor) , the father or the lone shark. and what should be the punishment for the guilty party??

TRY TO MIND UR OWN BUSINESS

Why do people have to be so cynical these days.. why cant they mind there own business? Why do most people think that they are perfect? What if I am skinny or Fat? What is their bloody problem..
Have u ever heard someone telling,”oh my god loook how fat she is”? “or ewwwww she is so skinny”, “she is so dark, his hair looks weird”, oh why is she/he wearing that it looks horrible. What the hell, it’s their own wish. Not as if their making others uncomfortable right?

when ever I see my nosy relatives I here this phrase alot oh !u have gone fat... grrr and when they see my cousin ,they will go ohhhhhh god gal try to gain some weight u look sooooooooo thin.. At one time i wanted to shout at one aunt telling GET LOST U COW. But since I am not in a community like that I had to give the plastic smile and go away dragging my cousin..
people telling you how u look to your face is quite ok, sometimes some people who really care about u do that to make u look better, but it really hurts when u hear someone back biting and laughing about u. I know some don’t think too much, they tell what they think out loud , but next time u come close to doing something like that , think how she/he will feel if she / he hears u. believe me if u here someone telling something bad about u , u will understand about the feeling I am talking about.

When I was in Grade 1, there was this dark girl and everyone called her KALU APPE (black hopper) but even at that time I thought she had a nice smile, I was the only one who played with her most of the time...I think its the way we have been told, from small days we have this concept in our minds that dark is ugly and fair is prettier, and many more like that. But for me I find dark gals more attractive, most of the time they have a hidden beauty inside themselves...

So whether your Dark or fair, fat or thin, Just know that there is someone, at least one person in your life who loves u for who u are, and not for how u look (it can be your mother ,father ,sister friend, boy friend girl friend , anyone). Always remember that beauty is skin deep..

I am not telling I haven’t done it, I sometimes do comment on peoples dress ‘s or hair styles, but not about they are body or skin color, never in my life. I don't judge people by they are outer appearance, but by what they are inside. So from today onwards I will try my best to, not to comment bad about others... hope u will too!

THERE IS NO DISTANCE TOO FAR BETWEEN BEST FRIENDS, FOR FRIENDSHIP GIVES WINGS TO THE HEART.

When everything goes wrong Friends are the one I turn to, there are 3 women in my life ,who has been there for me through my ups and downs. The special thing about these three women is that they know each other through me and they are not best friends themselves, but when ever we meet they get along very well...

One of them is my childhood friend A, the weird part is we were only in the same school for few years, but all the years which we were apart we wrote to each other (I still have those letters filled with huge letters and spelling mistakes) for this 15 years we have known each other , I cant find a day we were mad at each other.

Then there is N who has been my friend for 10 years, she has been an amazing friend to me. She is the most easygoing person I ever met she can brighten my day just like that...

Then there is K who stuck out A/L s with me, K was my savior, she was the one who did all my biology drawings, saved me from being embarrassed from the most torturing chemistry teacher in the world, and the plots we made on Saturday mornings to bunk classes were almost all the time successful. Even though the 2 years of A/L is the most horrible years of a person, K made it so much easier and happier. But I do have to mention how many times we have got mad at each for stupid things.

These three women have been victims of my mood swings, because I only torture people whom I love, who I know wont get fed up of me. If u ask my family they will tell what a fuss pot I am. They love me for what I am, when ever I felt stupid and ugly they had a way of making me special and wanted..

Last night while going through some old Photographs I Realized how much I love my Gals and how much I miss them, it reminded me of a time before boy Friends and breakups (but at times like that we were great at making those idiots feel like jerks), A life which was filled with ditching assembly's and sport practices....Magical school days which are over forever.

Even though now we are oceans apart, its amazing how we can catch up when ever we meet from the place we left off.. People will come and go in my life but my gals will always be there with me ,because we have a special bond that won’t be easy to be broken or forgotten. LOVE U GALS!
