On the train this afternoon...

On the train this afternoon, I saw a pair of brothers sitting opposite me... I had my headphones on, but I could tell from the body language that they were very close. Even if they weren't related by blood, relationship wise, they are as good as brothers. The elder brother wore a TPJC PE shirt, I presume he's abt 18. The younger one, wore a primary school uniform. Initially, I was curious to see a TPJC student boarding the train ar Redhill, so I observed his interaction with the primary school kid next to him. With my headphones on, I had no idea what they were talking about. But the little boy was smiling so brightly that I knew it was not because of his bulging front teeth. He was enjoying the company of this elder brother. The elder brother was bending slightly to listen to his brother speak in the noisy train, devoting his attention to him. They must like each other alot. When they finally got 2 adjacent seats, the elder brother handed one side of his earpiece to his little brother. The little boy still smiling blissfully as if he's the happiest boy on the train. If not the entire train, he must be the happiest person in the crowded cabin. Kids, they're so easily satisfied.

Their sibling love is precious and rare. I wonder how they develop such close relationship. Looking at how the elder brother took care of his younger brother, (probably even went all the way from Tampines to Redhill to fetch his brother), how I wish I have someone like that for me too, or at least, hopefully I can be someone like that to someone too.

My Short Hair

I know I should be studying and preparing for my lecture tomorrow. But my hand seemed to have a mind of its own. My photo album on FB reminded me that I have been snipping my hair shorter and shorter since last June. I've tried in total, 5 different styles!

Right now, as my weighty hair, stuffy scalp and heavy head, bothers me, I find myself browsing for the next hairstyle.

I love having short hair. Low maintenance and conditioning. I just have to ruffle my hair with some wax when I want some kind of style, or simply with water to keep it volumised. I don't even have to comb my hair.

But the irritation comes when hair starts to grow and slowly goes out of shape, and the messiness no longer look stylish, but untidy. As my hair starts to weigh my head down, as my scalp become stuffy, as my shoulder starts to feel the burden of supporting the new weight, I know I need a haircut.

What is bothersome is also my monthly visits to the salon. It's costly and time-consuming! If only I can find a good one just at my doorstep. Still, the short hairstyles seem to appeal to me more. Any good and affordable stylist to recommend?



Totally random, but I love the leathery smell of my new sofa :)

Just Being Philosophical

With the hormones messing up, I looked for quotes to calm myself down before starting on my first assignment for the last semester in nus. Also read up about meditation. The calming of body, mind and soul might be the remedy for my paranoia mind and elephantine appetite these days. Samatha and Yoga might be a good combination for me.




Surya Namaskar: Sun Salutation. Learnt this yoga movement two weeks back and re-capped last week. we sweated quite a bit in the air-conditioned studio. I felt my entire body stretched and extended after one cycle. If done properly, all parts of your body will be stretched. No wonder the instructor said, "If you remember nothing else throughout this course, remember the Sun Salutation."
Hope you can make it for lesson next week, tricia. If you want to know what you have missed past two weeks, here's a brief description of the movement :)

Super Accurate Daily Horoscope

"Today's New Moon is the beginning of an astrological month. These effects are not just good for today, but for the entire time until the next New Moon. For you, Gemini, the cosmogram today features the New Moon in the Third House. The emphasis of this Lunation is on communication, the acquisition of information, travel to places where you are expected, being a host or a guest, siblings, your neighborhood and visiting. This would be a good day to take care of your backlogged communications, and deal with unanswered messages, emails and letters, and for exchanging ideas. You may feel that you need to express yourself, and you should take any opportunity to do so. Take your driving tests during this Moon."

This last part is soo accurate. I am indeed going to take my driving test during this Moon~!!! Does that mean that I will pass????!! I really really really wanna pass!
I'm going to have my first driving lesson after stopping for a month. Because the slots in Aug have all been taken up 2 days after the slots open~!! Kiasu Singaporean.

Ok, I need my revitalising sleep for tomorrow's challenges~!!! Give me luck, MOON~

Lost love letter reunites couple after 16 years

How fate can sometimes be so cruel to people who are fated to be, or maybe there's a reason for such arrangement?

Lost love letter reunites couple after 16 years

LONDON (AFP) - - A British man and his Spanish former sweetheart have finally married 16 years after they drifted apart, reunited by a love letter lost behind a fireplace for over a decade, reports said on Monday.

Steve Smith and Carmen Ruiz-Perez, both now 42, fell in love 17 years ago when she was a foreign exchange student in Brixham, southwest England, and got engaged after only a year together.

But their relationship ended after she moved France to run a shop in Paris.
A few years later, in a bid to rekindle their love, Smith sent a letter to her mother's home in Spain. It was placed on the mantelpiece, but slipped down behind the fireplace and was lost for over a decade.

The missing missive was only found when builders removed the fireplace during renovation work.

"When I got the letter I didn't phone Steve right away because I was so nervous," Ruiz-Perez told the Herald Express local newspaper.

"I nearly didn't phone him at all. I kept picking up the phone then putting it down again.

"But I knew I had to make the call."
When they were reunited, it was as if time had stood still, said Smith, a factory supervisor.

"When we met again it was like a film. We ran across the airport into each other's arms. We met up and fell in love all over again. Within 30 seconds of setting eyes on each other we were kissing.

"I'm just glad the letter did eventually end up where it was supposed to be," he said, after the couple married last Friday.
