beauty and brains...

I told my friend, Puteri once that "beauty and brains like us (refering to myself and her) are hard to find...". She really had a good laugh at the statement. Well, I laughed too. Anyway, last night i watched this reality program which had many many beautiful girls, mostly models...guess what some of them cant even spell simple words...i am joking really really simple words...so now my dear friend, I am really convinced that "beauty and brains like us are really hard to find."

good things...

it has been many days since i wrote anything here...not that i didnt want to write, it is just that i do not have a pc in my office at the moment...it needs to be reformated so i m going through a life without a pc for almost one week now... gosh...it is not easy. i have never thought i am that addicted to my pc or internet until this week...anyway, today i decided to write something nice... i want to list 5 good things about myself (since it is my birthday, i have to let the world know that it is good to have me around sharing this space, air etc)...he he he...well this is my point of view, it does not matter if the world disagrees with me...

• persistence

being persistent in anything that i want...i guess this is the one quality that i had that got me through my phd.

• laughter

well, many people have commented on my laughter. some like it, some dont. the truth is i do laugh easily. i laugh at many things, my weakness, my mistakes, my stupidity, the world's stupidity, my understanding of the world and even at things that i do not understand about the world. basically, i can laugh at anything and i am glad i m like this...

• listening

i am very proud about this actually. i always considered myself as a good listener. sometimes by listening to someone, i can make them feel better about themselves or their lives.

• not judgemental

generally i am not jugdemental but sometimes i do judge a person based on how they treat me but not on personal things like beliefs, sexual preferences, or the type of relationships they are involved in. i believe these are all very personal and people have their own reasons to be what they are which might be very different from my own reasons.

• independent

well, generally i am able to or try to do things by myself. but that does not mean i dont enjoy being with friends and family but am serious about something i will do it anyway, even if my friends and family are not able to join me...

definition of love...

love means different things to different people...to some it means caring, for some it means attention, for some it means sacrifice and the list goes on and on...i always pride myself as being someone who is not jugdemental...but even then, i find it hard to believe some of the things my friends have done in the name of love...particularly one person, who sacrificed or compromised many things to be with this person she loves...i was talking about this to another friend of mine...and she said well that is love...so i asked her again, "is that what you call love?" . my friend then told me that, " well, if that is how she defines love..."

ya i guess my friend is right. if that is how one defines love...who am i to disagree???

a good laugh...

i wanted to write about so many things last week but somehow never got the 'mood' to actually do it...anyway, last Monday I was sitting in my friend's car while she went to the bank. Her car was blocking another car...therefore when I saw that the owner of that car wanted to go out, I just jumped from the passenger seat to the driver's seat...the moment i did that, the look in his eyes...the seemed so amazed with what i did...his look is so hard to described but it amused me...i had a good laugh...

life is...

life is a game of football...last saturday, i watched many epl matches on epl...i saw chelsea defend their title and their celebration, i watched birmingham city relegated and also portsmouth surviving another year in epl...all this remind me about life...i no i no football is just a game, but if that is so, why did i see so many birmingham fans crying when they drew with newcastle...they also know it is just a football match???
