This weekend, since you’re already here, whether you’re a male or female, I highly encourage you to watch Oprah’s inspirational speech.
Because in your fellow sisters, daughters, nieces, baby sister cousin, wife, aunt, mom and grandmomma, there’s a little girl in us that deserves to believe that with hardwork, dreams do come true.
Regardless of skin colour, ethnicity, religion, which country you were born in, whether you’re straight or lesbian and irregardless of your grades – whether you’re a straight ‘A’s’ student or not.
Afterall… not everyone is made up for ballet. Not everyone is (also) made up for maths.
‘Maybe life isn’t about avoiding the bruises. Maybe it’s about collecting the scars to prove we showed up for it. -unknown’
To those who rolled your eyes and say she’s a hypocrite and whatnot. You cannot deny the fact that her speech will help girls rise up to do things of their choice right and better and of course… It’s cynical people like you that will not make the world a better place.
Just finished my itinerary for later’s trip. Instead of sleeping, I need to finish my essay draft submission. Bummer.
BUT FIRST! I HAVE TO LET THIS OUT. HERE.
Watched Dilwale with the cousin just now. It was AH.MAY.ZING.
The song, the plot, the cheesy-ness, the errthang. Nothing short of amazing. I’ve said amazing thrice (including this, go watch people!)
Certain scenes were just too (funny kinda) corny that if you’ve watched Hindi movies since you were young, you kinda know what to expect and when it really happens, as the actors were really saying what went through your mind, trust me, you mouth will just say, “Oh my gawddd,” out loud (and facepalm while you’re at it).
But, oh, I have to say this. The action scenes is WON.DAH.FUL. The sound effect, fuuuuh, don’t bother comparing against American or English action pack movies genre. The Indians know they’re sound effects.
This is also the few movies with good moral values in a long while. Y’know, not just good girl likes bad guy and bad guy likes bad girl and oops! popcorn & movie finito. Think Frozen, but better.
The downside of Hindi movie is…. it’s veryyyy long.
After 154 minutes of Diwale, my cousin and I went for quick Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park for an evening walk and quick Boxing Day looksee, more like to wash off the realness of the movie in us. Y’feel me? But when we got back, we sat for another Hindi movie. Bahahaha.
Within the first two minutes of the 3 hour movie (YES, 3 HOURS!), the first song started and my cousin went, “Aik!? Just started and there’s already a song?”
2 Hindi movies in 1 day. That’s half a Suit season okay!?

So much love for Ramlal and Pogo combo. (Gotta watch to know what I mean.)
I’ve tried reading children stories to my nieces and nephews and also had a public-read-a-loud session when I was in Primary School. Clearly my voice is one of my strength. (Euphemism for chatterbox).
But after reading the story to the kiddos, my cousin told me I suck. DURING the public-read-a-loud session, the teacher in charge kept coming to the stage to slow me down and correct me.
SO! This clearly shows how baaaaad I am at telling people stories from books. I’m adding movies to this list. Self-awareness guys. I’m growing up aren’t I? Teehee.
I hope this post won’t deter you from watching this movie (cause I’m so watching this again! Gonna wait for Blu-Ray, hehe.)
Till the next post, I’ll leave you two good songs from the movie.
I’ve got a same age cousin but we’re always known for our stark differences. One of em is boys.
Apparently, I’m the weird one with no crushes whatsoever – they refuse to include michael jackson, cause loving him since 3 isn’t good enough to make the cut, pfft – while the other, like others, have crushes and relationships.
My cousin even once said that something must be wrong with my hormones. bahaha. too much soya bean milk I guess, cause y’know, soya beans can mess up your hormones. Not forgetting the fact that I used to drink looooaaaaddddsssss of it.
Anywho! apparently both male and female have a (physical) feature (or maybe not) in opposite gender that makes them attracted to the other. Say … a guy likes a girl with thick hair. Or, a girl likes a guy with one missing front tooth, I don’t know. You tell me. haha. But you get my point don’t you?
For years…. macam paham (like real only), I’ve been asking myself, ‘If I were to evvah like a guy, which feature will I be attracted to?’
Today, I found the answer.

Itzzz the bad boy on his shoulder.
*drools at Abang*
I think all it takes to win me is errr …. pointing a gun to ma fayce? Haha. Ishhh… Naudzubillah.Mintak dijauhkan yalls. Teehee.
Oh and, stop it with the Muslims are terrorist jokes ah.
With reference to the previous post, I’m gonna give this a shot.
I was scrolling my facebook page and came across this and I thought, Hey! One of the public challenge that I can probably do without cheating’.
Once, I tried living without dessert for one week.
First 4 days was hell. Almost went into spasm. *drama* But after the 5th day, it was alright. I could continue after the 7th and final day, but, I decided to treat myself to a nice strawberry cake for going cold turkey the previous 7 days.
Fail.
So!
This seems like something doable.
As C. Fisher from Bonesonce said, ‘Hey, the only difference between try and triumph is a little ‘umph’,’ I’m gonna give this a shot a little umph!
