goodbye 2011

My final post of 2011.
I think i like 2011.
A year of transformation.
I'll miss you, 2011!
Hello, && welcome to 2012!

end of 2011...

Thought i shall sum up 2011 for this post.
Well... in a nutshell, 2011 went in a blink of an eye.
I can still remember the beginning of 2011 and now i cant believe that its going to end.
Why does the time fly??

It was a significant year for me. Some unfortunate events happened. A big barrier in my life was removed... (Is it a good thing??.... time will tell!! :P) Some unique experiences... Met a lot of new people. Life was more of a roller coaster ride in 2011.

I hope the year ahead is a much better one.

Happy New Year! May the year ahead bring peace, prosperity and love to the entire world!

beach... after a loooong time.. =)

Merry Christmas!!

'twas a good day i should say =).
Let's start from the morning. Woke up at 5.30am to go to temple with aunt and cuzzies. Reached temple at abt 6.30am. It was extremely cold!! When we spoke, it looked like as if we were smoking!! We could actually see the water vapour condensing in the air when our warm breath came in contact with the cold air outside. First time in my life am i experiencing such a thing! =)
Well the temple was a very old temple. There weren't much people at that time. It felt good being there. It had a very old and authentic feeling. Since it was not crowded, there was a very calm atmosphere. That's what i like about Temples and Churches. There is a calm ambiance there. (Didn't get an opportunity to go to other religious worship places.. if i do get opportunity to go, i would love to visit... =) )
The comes the highlight of the day! On the way back home from temple, I drove!! after a looong time.. i think the last time i drove was for the driving test and once i got my driving license, i didn't drive. So its almost after 10 months that i'm driving again! And the surprising thing is that i thought i forgot how to drive. But it wasn't as bad as i thought. hehe! Of course it wasn't good either. My cousin helped of course but still... i'm happy that at least i remember which is clutch, brake and accelerator! =D!
Then came back home.... then in the eve we (together with mummy) went out to the beach... for a carnival.
My most favourite place in the world... The Beach! I've been wishing to go to the beach for a loooong time. But.... but...... (*dang* here comes the word again!)
Anyways, we went there. The carnival was disappointing. There was nothing out of ordinary there. The usual stalls and rides and stuff... looked so boring... Then we went to the beach nearby. That was much better than the carnival. While walking along the beach, it reminded me so much of my friends and the time i used to spend with them and the time we used to go to the beach and how we used to enjoy ourselves.......... felt kind of emo...

well, i didnt do anything much there.. just walked along the beach in the water.
Anywayz, we went there quite late in the eve so couldnt stay too long and had to leave soon.

so much more to say... but i'm tried!.. =).... basically, had a good time.... after a loooong time... wonder when i'll get to go to the beach again.... =(!

but...

My most hated word in English Language : 'But' !
Wish there was no such word as but.. It spoils everything.
" Hey 'But', erase yourself from this world of language..." "Go away!... shhooo off..." =D!
*************

Isit getting colder and colder everyday??.... In the mornings, water from the tap feels like refrigerated!
If over here it feels like this, i wonder how it would be in places where it snows...

Wonder how different of a person i would be if i were born somewhere else... I wont look like this i wont speak like this... i wont have parents like this... i wont have friends like this... i wont be .... well.... i wont be ME! Hehe!
But i think of all places, my place is the best! The one and only God's own country.
Yaya... it may have lots of short comings and problems but nothing can replace my dear Ker. Its where i belong. Its where my heart and soul is.... Its where my home is....

I feel so patriotic all of a sudden!... =)!!

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Just finished reading the book The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I would say this book was inspirational to the core! No words can express the wonder i had while reading it. Some parts of the book seemed like it was written for me... yea.. just for me. Its like as if the book was talking to me. It was too deep for me to understand everything. But i got the fundamental idea. Wish someone would explain everything that it was trying to say.
Through out the book, it was filled with exceptionally catchy and meaningful quotes.

The main character of the book is a boy called Santiago. Its about his life and how he fulfills his dreams.

Some of my favourite quotes:

• - "The only things that concerned the sheep were food and water". This line kept on repeating at least 4 or 5 times in the book. Its trying to say a lot in it...and i think i understand it too... =)

• "its the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting"

• i couldnt resist this even though its not much of a quote...

"When someone sees the same people everyday, ... they wind up becoming a part of that person's life. And then they want the person to change. If someone isnt what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives but none about his or her own".


I think i can just go on like this.... So better stop for now.
********************

Maybe i should........ should i?.... a lot of ppl have told me "dont stop dreaming". And i've tried not to..... Or Did i really try not to.....??

a letter to Time

i cant believe that tomorrow is Friday! Gosh!... is time flying or what???
***************

Dear Time,

pleeeze slow down.... Y are you in such a hurry??? The only thing you do is run around and fly around and make my life miserable! Y dont you take some rest? No one appreciates your constant hard work anyway....

yours loving friend.

Sometimes things are better the way it is... even if it seems bad. .... hopefully??....

***************

Life almost always gave me chocolate ice-cream in a filthy glass!
Can i complain?... no obviously not.... it gave me chocolate ice-cream you know...
But its my fault that i dont have the heart to eat it from that unclean glass... Its all my fault... everything is my fault... i've got no one to blame...
or isit really my fault....??... maybe it is meant to be that way... maybe it's actually a blessing in disguise. Maybe.
