Curls gone fuck...
This sucks! Seriously! I hate the cafeteria food here!!!! I'm relying on sandwiches from the clubhouse and i'm getting sick of that too!!! Argh!!!
The spread on the table...
Rathika being the 'responsible mother and wife'...
Siva shy...*bleh*
Minah 'cracking' a part of the crab...check out the evil grin behind that smile...
I had fun, just watching them! :)
I'm just controling the urge to go rebond immediately!! ARRRRGHHHHHH!!!!!
This is really going to be super busy week! Its the peak bin peak of P1 registration! God knows how many people are gonna screw me and how many i'm gonna screw! Lord save us all!!! Damn!!
Thank god I had a good 2 days of dining. Friday, Rathika, Me and Minah met up with Kavi who is 3 months pregnant, and had dinner at Thai Express. It was good. Looks like Minah and Rathika both had a 'Chilli Crab Craving' and they immediately made plans to have seafood at the coffeeshop near her place on Saturday and me tagged along, together with her hubby and kids.
I'm messy when it comes to crab-eating. I prefer eating crab at home where I can peacefully gorge and splash curry/gravy on myself and wash up after i have had a good attack.
So I skipped touching the crab while the rest of them had a good kill with the crabs. It was really huge pieces of them! You should have seen their faces after they had finished eating. Very very happy...I was also happily taking un-glam photos of them (as Minah says it).

Curly / Messy / Frizzy
I finally permed my hair after contemplating for like a month! Not that I don't like my straight hair. Its just that the look was getting too flat and boring. I needed some volume in my hair. My hair is now curly, messy, frizzy, difficult to manage and maintain...But I'm not complaining! I'll stick with this look for some time till it gets on my nerves. Katijah told me i have to keep it for a year...I'll give myself 6 months! Hehe!! Hopefully I'll be patient till then!I feel so imprisoned helping out with the Primary One Registration. I hardly get to go out for lunch since I'm on duty most of the time. I have to stick to eating the shitty food from the cafeteria or bringing food from home. I can't go out and run any errands or get things done. I can't take leave either! Argh! Frustrating! I can't wait for it to end and there's still another month to go...
That aside, out of all that unhappiness, I had fun yesterday, with our branch's Racial Harmony Day celebrations. We managed to get most of our colleagues to dress up for the occasion. Either in their or other traditional outfits. 90% of them gave us their support!! It was so cool! Even my DD cross-dressed traditionally! I borrowed my colleague's cheongsam top. Wearing it with black pants almost made me look like a waitress. But it still looked good on me.
We all had lots of fun, taking photos, posing for them!! I love my branch!!
Me boss and me! He looked quite nice in a kurta suit.
That's me helping Maggie with her saree 
Maggie loved the saree back, not only her, most of my colleagues did too! I didn't know my saree looked this gooood!
These people borrowed my clothes from me. 
The Staff Welfare Committee! 
The colleagues who gave us their support! 
I think this AD was waiting for this moment for a looong time, given the wide smile on his face. (He rarely smiles) 
Cam-whoring for Katijah and me didn't end after the event. We took more photos! That's my workstation!

All that work before hand was worth it! :)
I caught 'The Black Knight' on Saturday. Boy, its was good but looong. My ass was aching at the end of the movie! Christian Bale is sooooo freaking hoooooot!!!! Aaaaahhhhhh! *drools*I wouldn't mind sitting for another 3 hours just to see him again!!!!
Victor is going to Brunei today...He'll only be back on National Day...sigh...

Dating Trouble...
I have dating issues - My school of thoughts with regards to that is totally screwed - explains why I'm still single...
I can get to know only one person at one time. I can't multiple date. When it comes to dating, I can't multi-task. I can only concentrate on one guy at one time. And if I see that this is not what I want or its not going anywhere, then I give a picture that I only wanna be friends and nothing more than that. I really don't like to lead a person on. And, I expect that from the person I'm dating too. Wierd right...I know that its only dating and I can't possibly expect that from someone but then I do. If I kinda know that that person is getting to know other people too, then I get out of the picture or just remain as a friend.
I know, this is soooo tough to expect from a guy nowadays! But this is me. I tried changing it but I couldn't. I decided to live with it, whether it does me good or bad!
Ket's Dating Theory: You wanna date me, you date only me. You wanna get to know other people, then go ahead. Dont do it with me in the picture.

Parenthood
Being involved in the Primary One Registration these few years has shown me the different kind of parents that exist.
"Weekend Parents" - This refers to parents who leave their children at the grandparent's place or aunt's/uncle's home from Mondays to Fridays and only fetch them back during the weekends. There are instances where the children don't go back home to their parent's place due to the parent's work commitment.
Ask such parents why and they are armed with plenty of excuses. "I can't afford a maid so I have to leave my kids with my parents.", "I'm too tired after work to fetch my child back home so I only fetch them during the weekends.", "I live very far from from my parents and my workplace is nearer to my home."
Valid reasons, aren't they? But give it a deep thought...
The children see very little of their parents. They are only able to spend time with their parents during the weekends. 2 days a week. The children would not be able to bond with them. They do not get the attention they need from their parents.
At the same time, you can't blame the parents too. They would rather buy a flat at a cheaper price and as a result, it may be a distance from their parents'/siblings' place. Their work might require them to work long hours. Its difficult trying to work and family and strike a balance. And all these just point to one conclusion : Having a family in Singapore is not easy anymore.
"Overseas Parents" - These are parents who work overseas and leave their children with their parents or siblings. They spend a few years working overseas and return occasionally during holidays. Work commitment is important, understandble. But isn't family commitment equally important too? I know that parents work hard to provide the best for their family and children. But then money can't replace the love and attention parents are supposed to shower on their kids. This is essential for a good long lasting relationship between parent and child.
Is it fair that the person work away from family and kids, make lots of money, come back after a long time and expect them to bond with you?
"Smelly Parents" (My term for them) - Those who should be shoot dead for becoming parents; Parents who neglect their children. These are those people who understand the basic responsibilities of their roles. They go missing, leaving their children with unsuspecting parents or siblings. They go to prison, not bothered that their children are the ones who suffer out of their actions. They re-marrying, shunning the children and expecting someone to bear their burdens.
Becoming a parent is easy but fuifilling the duties as one is not. If you thought being a parent is tough, I say being a good one is even tougher.
I understand that aborting a child is a sin but its better than committing a bigger sin by not taking care of the child properly. At least the child wouldn't have the chance to experience the kind of hardship that it should at all.
God already made life unfair. He can do that...coz he's God. Let's not try to make it unfair to someone else.
