Our miserable attempt:

Natural Selection

A shot at the dark, I deem that the world was a little fanatical experiment.. Im certain that the big man up there, and his group of friends were bored one day, n made the universe to give some sort of thrill or productivity to their existence. So.. they started out with creating pretty stars, and the nebula’s; caused them to explode, make more stars, and planets.. each with different properties. Good fun.. but then again, though Neil Armstrong gets a kick outa watching rocks and meteoroids, and galaxies and what have you not, after a while, it does get a little dull. Randomly, the mighty dude up there picked one planet and functioned, THE SIMS MICROGALECTICA (EARTH EXPANSION). But kudos to the brain for making Earth absolutely perfect for catering life. What are the odds of having a planet with such perfect properties to cater life; a) We’ve got just the right amount of Oxygen. Any more, we’d ignite a spark with the flick of ze pinky (not in a good way). B) H2O! oh so glorious H20. Though he did cheat certain aspects, like allowing water to be the only liquid to float when frozen, when all other liquids sink when frozen! Well, he had to do that to prevent Tsunami bombardment! , c) Perfect temperature , d) good atmosphere, e) hill n mountains to prevent tornado bombardment… ;and the list goes on, but we’d stop there. SO its definitely not a mere coincidence that Earth was PERFECT for habitating our bumz. Yes yes, though Miller-Urey’s experiment did prove the possibility of life on other planets, which is probably just another expansion package, it still cant be luck! Moving on, so then we had dinosaurs, but what good were they? They’re the modern equivalent of sea monkeys! Fun for a good coupla days, but lets face it, u wanna flush them down the toilet bowl after a while. SO we’ve got the cretaceous-tertiary extinction event and the Permian-triassic extinction event. Both expansion packs he got bored of.. And his latest creation? Homo Sapiens! He did take sometime to get to us homo’s.. Having to trial and error with monkeys, and australopithecus and poor old Turkana boy, he finally did a decent job at getting to us. We started out pretty normal, adam and eve, eating, learning, mating.. But lets face it, after a while, sea monkeys get boring. Point of this lil trip down SIMS UNIVERSAL EXPANSION pack? Lets bore the crap outa the lil man up there, and be good model citizens just to give him a new expansion pack to work on.. UFOinvasion package or Venusmiraculouslycoolingdownto inhabitlifesowecantaketripsdowntoourfriendlyneighbour or perhaps newmysticcreature package?

Divi dino..

Skeptic

My fav line “If we’re lucky we’ve got 80 years to live”.
80 years might seem bloody long, but when we’re dead, if there’s no heaven n hell, or rebirth or ghost or whatever not, 80 billion years of a dreamless sleep is bonkerz! Its so bizarre, in such a tinsy time on Earth, so much is done, learnt, experienced. The whole ‘god’ apparently gives a sense of direction to have some meaning in life? In the short span, we over spend analyzing, trying to earn money, trying to fit in instead of just living and experiencing and learning. We take things for granted, our family, friends, shopping, studying and look at them as a chore, asides from shopping. :D Most of us are born in this world with a decent life style. So we end up abusing it.
Nature vs Nuture. In childhood, life seemed so innocent, and the people around u, the things that happen, make u less n less naïve. Its bloodcurdling knowing that the path you take, the people u mix with, the environment u live in can determine whether ur the murderer or the murdered. Is the murderer guilty for just being and the wrong place at the wrong time in the wrong circumstances, since he/she was once a kid with the same naïve outlook on life;
It’s a long 80 years, and the older you are, the more you get why our folks call us a billion times from the bus stop to the MRT station 2 mins away. The world might be god’s greatest creation, but circumstances, environment and influence do create monsters out of us. It might sometimes be easier to be the murderer than the murdered, but its easier to shut the world off and live in a naïve world, taking what we have for granted..


Misanthropist Divanthropist

The kitchen is a evil place

Firstly, wow my hubby is soo talented! Lol.. cause he’s a ‘ho slaaa’ hahaha..
And Secondly, this post goes out to Pauline, Chitra and Ambika. I am pleased to informed you, your bestfriend in Australia, almost DIED, AND it is solely because of the 3 of you. After your constant scrutinies about me not being a good Indian girl and not being able to make anything asides from instant noodles and cornflakes, I decided to change. The outcome is as follows:


1) Firstly, Pauline taught me a simple cabbage paratal thingy, which turned out to be pretty decent.. Decent meaning tastednothinglikewhatiswasmeanttotastelikebutwouldnotgiveyoudiarrhea. Thus I decided to be more venturous since my first attempt was not overly revolting.

2) Watched how to make eggplant curry and eggcurry videos from http://www.showmethecurry.com/ TRICE!
3) Went to purchase all sorts of curry ingredients from the overpriced curry shop beside my house.
4) Started with the eggplant.. Accidently poured a whole can of tomato dices instead of half a can.. End result:
Looks: 7.5/10
Taste: 3/10

5) And then I proceeded to the eggcurry. Followed ALL the instructions in the video promptly. (made a tiny bit cause the eggplant curry wasnt that great)
End Result:
Looks: 5.5/10
Taste: 3.5/10


6) The last bit of the egg curry was to chuck in the eggs. And this is when my near death experience occurred. After I microwaved the eggs, I proceeded to peel them, WHEN THE F*ING THING EXPLODED IN MY FACE! That’s right! IN MY FACE! Thank god it wasn’t too hot so it didn’t burn my face. But I did burn my wrist pretty badly. To save myself from further humiliation, I DID NOT take a picture of my face and the entire kitchen covered in egg. I am however, attempting to score some sympathy votes by putting up a pic of my poor bruised wrist.
End Result:
Looks: 2/10
Taste: 3/10


My poor bruised wrist:


7) So.. i went back to basics..

Moral of this entry, I vow never to cook Indian food without parental supervision from henceforth.
Oh and RAjan, I put the camera to good use :D Took a coupla shots here n there.. Check it outtt..

Oh, and keep up the good work.

You're adapting well to the not so Singaporean life.

And i went bowling with your husband.

Figured you missed him.

So celebrate his victory!

-Hi i'm Yuvarajan S/O Chandra

funny little men

Hey lil bro,

Ok, this nerd business is not that bad.. In a week, ive managed to clean my room, organize my books, cook a gross cabbage paratal thingamajing, wrote out a grocery list, bought half of my sch books, look up universities which offer honours within my intellectual ability (which is pretty darn low may i add) anddd ive watched 3 online curry cookin shows and am gonna attempt makin eggplant curry tomorrow! ALSO, i started reading and found a little book deepthi bought me last year by Allan & Bambara tittled 'men dont have a clue'. lol

aite these cracked me up..

1) Men dont get lost, they discover alternate destinations
2) Why dont men fake orgasm?
Ans: Because no man would pull faces like that on purpose!
3)Having a sense of humour as a woman doesnt mean you tell jokes. It means you laugh at his jokes!
4)Moses wandered in the desert for 40 years. He would'nt ask for directions either.
5)Most men only have a shopping attention span of about 30 minutes. If you take him shopping do it near a large hardware store so that he can road-test the latest double electric reverse router saw which would let him drill perfectly round tiny holes upside down in a plaster ceiling without a ladder (should the need arise)
6)In public rest-rooms men always look silently directly in front and never talk to strangers. Men's motto is 'death before eye contact'
7) If washing machines came with a remote control men would prolly consider doin laundry! (hey i would too! lol)
8) since roman times, the size of a man's nose has also been equated to the size of his penis but there is no research to substantiate this myth, much to Pinocchio's disappointment.
9) Why does it take 4 million male sperms to find and fertilise an egg?
ans: Now one wants to ask for directions (hahahahaha! pissa!)
10) the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys
11) Why do men give their penis a name?
Ans: Because they dont want a complete stranger making their major decisions (And thats why we call skantha, 'pathish!', lol)
12) What can you say to a man who's just had sex?
Ans: Anything you like, he's asleep
13) what can you tell from a well-dressed man?
ans: His partner is good at picking out his clothes (you need a girlfriend rajan! hahahahahaha! kiddin kiddin)
14) To many women, it seems as if men are hardwired to buy ugly clothes for themselves and this is not far from the truth. For at least a hundred thousand years, women dressed to attract men while men have dressed to frighten away their enemies. Men would paint their faces, put bones through their noses, wear a buffalo on their head and have a rock connected to the end of their penis. So dont expect him to be able to coordinate his own clothing.
15) A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worried about the future until he gets a wife (this is for you chitu! lol)
16) it is important for a woman to understand that if she continually mothers a man, he will see her as a mother figure and respond by yelling, throwin tantrums and running away
17) men miss the finer details. A man will know every good joke his friend has told him but not be aware that his friend has split up from his wife
18) How many divya's does it take to change a light bulb?
ans: one
She just holds it up and waits for the world to revolve around her. hahahaha. oh and switch divya with mother-in-law. lol
19) If you are lost, while driving, a quick, safe emergency strategy is to tell him you urgently need to go to the toilet which will force him to stop, and preferably at a service station. While you're in the toilet, he'll have time to pretend he's buying something and to ask for directions.
20) If you insist on taking a man shopping, always ask him what he'd like to eat , give him lots of positive strokes and buy him a special treat such as chocolate. SHopping is not hardwired into the male brain, so incentives are needed (Rajan, if i ever end up with a guy who loves to shop, please suggests this to him. thanks)

wow that was long.. now i know how chain emails start. bored students, with brilliant typing skills, and a book! NICE!


geeky divi..
