The La Di Da World

Hey everyone!!! =D I have since of late resorted to keeping my mouth shut. After all, "Silence is Golden" .... lol. Instead I use a "Little Green Book" to note down my "spiteful comebacks "... Here are excerpts... which of course have no meaning now that the issues are history, but nevertheless give me giggles =D

• Don't take life too seriously, you will never get out of it ALIVE!


• Who gave you the right to judge me??


• Nothing like a nice new shoe to boost your confidence..


• Is there anything else that brightens your day, than a little puppy or kitten?


• Contrary to popular belief around here, I DO have a lot of work. It's just that I don't take-up all that much time to do it (like you do =P ) ... but there are instances when I need to fully concentrate on what I am doing... not listen to your bickering ..


• If I am not talking to you and I am trying to read the newspaper, why do you feel the need to poke yourself into my world???


• Being miserly is not poor nor is being poor miserly..


• Almsgivings are not about showing how much money or status you have, it's the thought that counts


• Organizing an exorbitant Almsgiving but not lending your family money, is sooo not cool >=[ ... even more UN-cool is, boasting about it in office !!


• Why does everyone forget my birthday nor get me any presents, but remember that I need to give them a treat?


• Does keeping your mouth shut, entitle you to free "kick-on-the-ass" ??


• Why do people expect less from someone just coz they are supposed to be WEAK and more from you if you are healthy? Is that really fair??

rant

Hey Chavie =) sorry men, been busy with wedding stuff =( I DO read all of you guys' blog posts though =]

...TSC's new rant :
Absolutely flabbergasted at how naive and 19th century some people can be with regard to religious and racial issues...
How people can change at the blink of an eye, how they hide their real thoughts and it's only a mask you see ...
How can we talk about uniting the country.. of forgetting racial and religious differences, when you can't even get over it among your friends??? =[

There was a Dog show by the Kennel Asso. on Sunday - sadly, TSC missed it ... *snif, snif** ='(

.:.:. P.S. : Hey Surani & Harumi, can I have your comments on Chavie's comment and my post please? =D .:.:.:.

hah!!

=) =D ;D =P

PS : Check out Rehani's blog people ... She has a post on work here, kinda like I can relate to =) http://theniceblogs.blogspot.com/2009/07/at-work.html

Now that the war's over, I would love to STAY alive...

.... and enjoy life a bit more.

I do hope the higher-ups would awaken from their long slumbers and celebrations.. and take notice, now that university students seem to have added daggers to their study kits; now that the people of SL seem to have resorted to taking the law into their hands... everyday the newspapers bring us fresh news of stabbings, shootings and murders; where the others take the initiative (maybe in the absence of acceptable laws) and the suspect is killed...

What about all the university students turning to stabbing each other (or trying) with daggers and swords.. veritable fencing schools they have turned into... We should offer education at a prize (yes, I know it's a loooong standing argument) maybe then they will learn to use their time more profitably.

What about the suspect who was killed by villagers, coz he killed his wife and in-laws?

Heard about the prisoners turning against the government and starving themselves, just coz the army was asked to check them extra hard?

How about the Staff at Cancer hospital refusing to hand in transfer forms when the Minister threatened to transfer them coz they were on strike? What about the patients who may seriously have only a little more days to live??

How about our ministers arguing (it was on radio today morning) about what sort of sword it really was that disappeared (is it a sword, a dagger, a walking stick???) and not what they should do about finding it?

No offence, but I do think Lord Buddha, Jesus and all the others TOGETHER, would have a hard time putting our people right!!

Well, so we won the war... so now what? Do I have to peek around trees in Col. 07, hoping I won't be another poor victim of a university student clash??

And the roads are still closed almost every day, whatever the newspapers may deem to inform you....

On a better note, I caught a young traffic policeman petting and talking to two dogs near Police Park =) Some hope reins at least .... **sigh**

Through the looking glass - so to speak!

What a way to start my day :( Woke up to a text saying Michael
Jackson had passed away. The wording itself seems so unbelievable, I
felt as if I'd been hit by a truck!! I grew up with MJ, his music,
his voice, I loved the way he danced, the way he managed to emanate real emotion through his songs, his music seemed so uplifting at times
when I was down... I love nearly all his songs, which seem to actually
change according to my moods and moments... believing that the moon is
indeed made of green cheese is actually way more easy than the fact
that "The King of Pop" is no more...

He was just 50 =( It's kinda hard to think of MUSIC without him. Some
of the first music sheets I learnt to play were his early hits.

I'm guessing this will be the first post in most blogs today. I'm also
guessing that maybe this is actually a FAD that belongs to my
generation. Whatever he may have said and done in his life, you cannot
overide the beauty and sheer wonder of his music. The incredible
ability he had to let the music flow through his body and actually
manage to let the listeners feel it themselves. The extrodinay twists,
turns and zwinges executed in his brilliant dance acts, that never
failed to catch even my mom's attention although she pooh poohed him.
The admirable determination and self-assurance he must have had to get
to where he is (was) from small means...

We tend to take people for granted when they are alive and when they
pass away... it leaves me flabbergasted....

Rest in Peace MJ ...

I seem to love to make the same mistakes each time. (Come to think of
it, I remember chavie blogging on these lines, so maybe I'm not
alone...) I still have not managed to really figure out my career :(
Most jobs tend to bore me after a time, maybe the work is too NORMAL
(?), I don't learn enough new stuff, its just the same old story
everyday... I don't mind even typing letters every day if it is really
interesting to me, if only it would lead me to a new adventure... I
know I sound like a spoilt little rich kid (so shoot me, who cares? :P
) but I seriously need to get sorted out.
So, that's my resolution today ... the day "The King of Pop" ceased to exist...
I need an interesting job which involves writing, ideas, and creativity =D
Any ideas people??

**
Much like Alice through the Looking glass I guess... Speaking of
which, I'm definitely looking forward to the new movie version. I
loved the book, the magic, the story, the adventure... maybe I should
pop downa rabbit hole.. really to see Johnny Depp of course =]

**

This wedding stuff is making me neurotic. I don't seem to be getting
anything done, I keep putting it off for later, and in the end I've
spent a whole day doing nothing... maybe I should contemplate a
"moonlight rendevous" =)

**

My office browser seems to have blocked off blogger, facebook, yahoo
and a host of other sites.... I won't even TRY to START writing what I
think about this.... !! *%#$@@!!

**

Many billboards in SL tend to have weird spelling.. ha ha ... which
makes me ponder on what is really being promoted in the particular
shop. ie: Cha**'s Pasty control (Pest control), Lunch and Dina for
sale (maybe a dinasour OR a nice girl? >=] ) and the ever famous
... "Tak-away", Take-a-way", "Takaway", "Takawe".
Oh well, at least it keeps me in good spirits ....

**

My dog seems to have developed a taste for "Mangosteens" !! err...
hope the rabbit doesn't follow suit!! =]

**

I'm fed up with FB anyway. It's so boooorrringggg... Just a spot for
people who want to publicize and boast about their personal lives,
achievement, photos and so forth!!
I'm gonna miss blogging!! big time... ='(

**

How on earth can you smoke 15 cigars a hour and still be alive???

**

Has it crossed anyone's mind that we are still a nation on the verge
of collapse ... that we need to seriously think about development
after the war??? Is it just me or has everyone forgotten this???

**

" I KNOW I'M STRANGE, BUT WHAT ARE YOU? " That's what the
gal-with-an-attitude-and-black-cat on my desktop wallpaper says...

I ♥ this post by dontwannabe
http://dontwannabecool.blogspot.com/2008/09/are-you-sri-lankan-or-are-you-christian_29.html

I'm quite a mix in religion and culture =] and have had to listen to
all sorts of stupid stuff from people who have never in their life
practised their own religion flawlessly!! I came to hate some
religions just coz the people I knew never practised it right... I
think everything depends on how you "practise what you preach"...
Everyone to his own beliefs and NO "Holyier than Thou" stuff!! =)
After all, we all need some sort of belief in our lives, and who cares
what it is, if it works!! ACTUALLY, I think I'm quite fedup of
arguing and counter - arguing and fighting for and about religious
beliefs.... =(

P.S. : This post came up late as a result of the 5th point mentioned in said post. However, I do manage to read all your blogs, so do keep posting guys... and help me out of my misery :)

jerk

YOU call people names
you scroll thorough someone elses pictures in their computer, when they are not in, AND show it to everyone... AND email it around
what ever happened to PERSONAL SPACE people?

you go to innumerable expenses to prove your point
you crave attention
you stoop to untold limits
you smoke endlessly
you annoy me to bits
you think you are bloody IT in office
you yell loudly into the phone - i can hardly hear my conversations
you interrupt my conversations (who do you think you are?)
you swear, you cackle, you cough
you sit there staring at me, from morn to dusk
you creeps, you bore the life out of me

yep, forgive your enemies, but remember their names... MOST CERTAINLY

what happened to gentlemanly behaviour, dude??

Tell me, is this the way you GUYS really behave or is this just another know-it-all ATTITUDE, yo?

An octopus grabbed me today...

yeeek.. the new manager has a handshake worthy of an octopus.. :P :P

Why is the owner of the cows at Wijerama not warned by the police? I feel sorry for all those stray cows and bulls and calfs on the roads...

Why do Sri Lankans have this in-born talent at disregarding law and order?

I really should try to learn more about economic stuff :(

According to a friend/CEO in the garment industry, it takes around 4 hours for them to arrive at a price quote for an inquiry, mainly because they have to source all the materials and accessories from around the world. A Chinese manufacturer on the other hand, will be able to quote a good price in 20 minutes, because all the necessary stuff is already inside his country... and we talk of GSP concessions and how to develop the country etc etc...

The best job is when you are seriously interested in what you are doing, when you can learn new stuff, face new challenges and when the job is truly difficult.. hmmm.....

Why do performing artists prefer the stage to television or film acting? Wouldn't live acting on stage be the hardest? Therefore, would it not give the best satisfaction?

Just random thoughts....

randoms

Figured out what to call the idiot next to me .... "a pathetic loser" =[
whoever gives these guys jobs??

why do people try to pretend they are God when they are not even worth a penny on Earth??

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
On a happier note, won a short story competition =D

A..nd, made pancakes last night and had them with loooooots of honeeyy!!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Met a long lost school friend and chatted into the wee hours of morning =)
miss school :[ hah... not much though..... maybe I might miss it if it didn't include any of the exams and assignments and stuff...

And.... an office colleague walked into a wall. Yes, just WALKED into a wall.... and no one has any idea why, let alone him...ended up with this almighty red bump on his forehead and squawking he..he.. okay I'm sorry, I won't laugh.

Get's me thinking maybe I'm working with a bunch of lunatics :P

Easy way to loose weight...

Walked from glass-house to Colpetty ... in the sun ... drenched in sweat.....
One guy in office had to come in at 6.00 am...
One guy stayed over last night..

What CAN I say... =S

If I'm optimistic of course, it means I should have lost around 5 kilos today.
On the pessimistic side, I had to try really hard to gain those 5 kilos....

Totally agree with Dee's post.
The other thing is, since they are so into people coming in and watching these shows or whatever, wouldn't it really be easier to get more crowds down too, if the thing is held on a holiday??

Also guys, does anyone know where they have wedding saree's for hire? =]
