I know I haven't blogged in a while, which is unusual for me. I've just been a leetle bit more busy than usual.
This is going to be a short post. The video that will be up, is not related, not really anyway, to what I'm going to ask.
Of all the 7 Deadly Sins, which do you think are most susceptible to contract?
Here's the list of sins.
Lust
Gluttony
Greed
Anger
Pride
Sloth
Envy
A little explaination of what I'm asking. Of all the sins, right, which do YOU think is the one that's in your nature the most? And don't say that you don't have any, because, you're human and humans sin. Its natural and you don't have to be ashamed about it. well you should but at least you don't have to feel alone. And it only becomes bad when you GIVE in to these sinful urges. Or at least go overboard. You don't have to tell me, or anyone for that matter. Just think about it and "reflect". I know I did.

Moving beyond our comfort zone
Today, I discovered a way for me to get home without paying SINGLE CENT.
From school.
I explain. We were supposed to go to temple today at the Sindhu House, because my mum decided recently that we will go ever Monday for Shivan prayers at 7.30. Now, I finish every Monday at 6 because of my GEM lecture/tutorial. So today, she told me and Sister to meet her at Dover MRT station, the SP side, where she'll pick us up. I figured since Dover is RIDICULOUSLY near NUS, there should be a bus going there. Apparently not.
However my brilliant friend A, found out or remembered that NUH has a shuttle bus to Dover. So we waited for like 20 minutes at least for the internal NUS bus A2 which from our bus stop to go to NUH. Then we walked to NUH since the bus stop wasn't located right at the entrance, it took some time to find it. When we get to the queue, we got worried because the queue had like 50 people in it. I could NOT be late otherwise my mother would slaughter me, and so would her mum. And the bus felt like it was taking forever but I suppose it was only 15 minutes. Then this HUGE bus came and oooooohhh we got excited!
Pathetic as it sounds, but we were excited because we actually had hope of getting into the bus instead of waiting another 15 minutes for the next one. I had to jinx it by saying that if the capacity is filled with the last guy in front of me I'll cry, because technically it did. All the seats were taken up and technically it said no standing, but we were already IN the bus and we were desperate. Plus I figured we were young and (fairly) agile so we'll be okay. So we took the shuttle to Dover.
Okay, so far all I have to do is to take the internal bus service A2 to NUH, then get on the FREE shuttle bus from NUH to Dover.
Well obviously you'd think I'd HAVE to take a bus from Dover to my house.
WRONG!!!!
You see, from Dover there is a connecting path to this canal path and this canal path goes all the way to my house. Yes the canal path is 1km long(its written on the path itself) and the connecting path is not short either, but the whole journey costs nothing at ALL! Cool right! Even is nobody thinks its cool, I definitely think so. Of course I'd arrive home all perspiring and stinky, no matter how slow I walk, because Singapore is humid and I perspire easily, like my mother (though of course it could also be my fats causing me to perspire easily but whatever), but that's okay because I'm just going HOME where there's a shower! And its exercise!
Only thing is this plan of a free journey home depends on the internal bus service working and the free shuttle bus working. But!
I'm still very proud and happy for myself *grins widely*
Oh! To justify my title, I shall note that I DID do some exploring of a place I've never been before in NUS. So there!

Innocence
You know what I miss? I miss the innocence of childhood.
I was walking home from the shop today, after I had bought something "illegal"-i.e. not supposed to eat because I'm not feeling well, and coming out from my block was this little blonde boy with his maid who was pushing his sibling in a pram. He was on a scooter thingy and as he rode past me, he looked up and said "hi". I was surprised but I said "hi" too and then he just rolled on.
Why does this incident make me want to blog?
Well, I miss the ability one had to just say hi to whoever you remotely knew. He said hi to me because I assume he had seen me before and I was headed to the same block that he lived in. Similarly, I run into a number of acquaintances in NUS these days and yea I do say and bye or just smile, but what if we were to say hi to basically anyone I knew was in NUS, who made eye contact with us? I mean without people wondering what the hell is wrong with me of course.
But I guess that's just wishful thinking.
A big sigh.

I thought it would be weird. Like strange and awkward. Was kind of stressing about it for some time. Well, not exercising THAT much energy on it but, a fair amount. And as usual, I was over-reacting. Had a pretty good time, though there were some external factors involved too.
Overall verdict: I had fun!
Lesson learnt: do not over-react. JUST CHILL.
If only it was that easy for...... THE WORRYWOT!
P.S. urgh, i think i'm getting a sore throat from not drinking enough water. And here I thought I had recovered. Sighs.

NOTE
I'd like it to be noted that noone bothered to even try and answer my questions that I had posted up a while back in the "Random" post. What, did you think they were ALL rhetoric? I was actually wondering about some of the things I asked about! Humph. This is obviously proof that noone but ME reads this blog.
Oh god, strange bout of grumpiness just came over. Better get off before I type something I'd regret. Going to listen to happy music. and Fall asleep. tata

Cupid?
Does anyone believe in Cupid? I mean who came UP with the concept of Cupid?
Right now I do believe in such a thing as Cupid, but only because I've been watching old episodes of the series Charmed and the last episode I watched had a character who was supposedly Cupid in it. So my brains are a little addled.
But yeah, while I was watching, I wondered, how did we, as in humans, come up with the concept of Cupid? And why? Oh yeah, the more important question is definitely why. Why was there a need to create a character that apparently is in charge of people falling in love? Can't love happen on its own? You see I'm wondering about the logic of creating such a character, not debating on whether or not it exists. I suppose more love is always a good thing, and not just boy-girl love but all kinds of love.
Oh! I know! Cupid may have been created to explain the more strange couples! Not strange, like the people are weird, but like the pairing. In the past. When it wasn't common knowledge that opposites attract. They don't usually work out but they definitely attract. Apparently in the past, people came up with other-worldly beings to reason out why different things were happening to them. Now however, with science explaining to us about every "phenomenon" or strange thing, we no longer believe in these other-worldly beings. Like Santa and the tooth fairy and Cupid, though I'm certainly not in the mood to reason out and explain about the first two.
I personally quite like the idea about Cupid, and believe me, it would definitely explain the weirder pairings of people, but I guess I've been brought up too well in this Science era to believe in such things. Especially when the common image of Cupid is of a cherubic baby with wings and a bow and arrow. I mean seriously. How is a BABY supposed to even know about boy-girl love? Are they trying to make something like "love" more innocent and pretend that lust doesn't exist? I mean isn't it a little disturbing? The idea of a flying baby pairing you and this hottie up?
Sigh. okay, enough rambling. I think its the late night doing it, plus the many many episodes of Charmed. Oh god, second week fo school. And already I feel like I'm behind because of all the reading I HAVEN'T done. Urgh! okay, must be a good girl tmr and wake up early to go and run, and to do the reading and to go for the usher interview and to go for lecture and to buy the textbooks. TO DO MORE READING. BUT BUT BUT, if I don't run tmr, I won't beat myself up over it. If I don't do the rest, I WILL. Good night.

OH MY GOSH. 10 years or so on and the cough medicine STILL tastes the same! Its amazing isn't it? And it even comes in the EXACT same bottle too!
Let me explain if you're lost. I'm sort of recovering from a cough. Practically cured but I want to be rid of it asap, so I'm taking this medicine. And it looks, and tastes exactly like the one from when I used to take as a child, when I got sick! I remember because when I was a kid, once I was really sick. Fever hit 40 degrees Celcius at one point. After I went to the doctor, I got 2 types of medicine. 1 white, which was kinda powdery, even though its liquid and 1 brown. For some reason, after I took those 2, I puked it out immediately. So yeah, I remember the brown medicine. Which is why taking it today, brought up so so many memories of when I was sick as a child. Of course not pleasent, but still.
Anyway, leaving that awful topic behind, I just thought of a brilliant birthday present for some people to give me! So modest right, and subtle. I say birthday present, because I don't think there's any way for me to get it on my own. People will laugh, but I don't care. Drumroll please...
I want the entire series of Charmed. on DVD.
You heard me. I know people think its lame, but I really LOVE it and I have a craving to watch it all over again! Like RIGHT NOW! urgh. annoying right?
Well, I got nothing else to write, so I'm gonna go. ciao!
love love
