Ahhhh the cold weather is making me crave for hot and spicy Indian food. Yummy curry with a teaspoon of curd to put off the flame on the taste buds. Hmm.. I love!

I will never get sick of Indian food. Never. It is something I can have everyday and never get tired off. Unfortunately, what I get from home is not authentic enough. That is why I look forward to my Sundays where my grandfather's maid prepares one of the most tasteful curries ever. My grandmother taught her well =).

I LOVE food. Not in a glutton like way but just for the whole story behind each cuisine. The 5 Ws and 1 H. I enjoy flipping through menus reading about the origins of the each dishes which in itself is a mental trip to the country of its makings. Whatever the ethnicity, no food has left me grinning with satisfaction as wide as the Cheshire cat like Indian food does.

I prefer vegetarian over non-vegetarian because somehow, the spices used seems to blend in better with vegetables then we meat, or so I think. Or it could simply be because I am not really a meat person. Seafood yes, meat a no-no. I wish I could prepare food s good as my grandmother did. I have yet to taste any food as delicious as hers. Nope not at all. Close to hers yes, but not like hers. Then again, a person's style of cooking is as unique as the individual so I shall stop with the comparison.

Man, I need to learn to cook so that I can just whip up whatever I want whenever I want without having to wait 6 days or at times, months when there are family gatherings and scrumptious food is assured. hmmph!

There is no love sincerer than the love of food. ;)

I WANT to Travel (period). Just throw everything and go back packing.

And this would be my parting song when I finally leave on my jet plane with an empty book in hand and a pen ready to tell a story - my story. =)

All nature is but art unknown to thee.

Updates: My father did not make any noise. =) Either he has given up or he knows I am a BIG girl already.

I did it. I changed my hairstyle and I love it! It stops right on my shoulders so it one of my shortest after a long time too! It was something I did without a plan. I went to school to finish up some work and the air-con in the staff room was switched off. Feeling sticky and irritated, I ran my hand through my hair and the heat radiating from the thick layers added to my irritation. My hands felt warm and the tangle it was in did not make it any better. Thats it, today is going to be it, I told myself. I picked up my phone, smsed my sister what I thought and went on with my work and hours later found myself sitting at the hair dressers and yes, 5 hours and 15 minutes later, I am out with a different look.

The hair dresser was surprised that I wanted to get rid of my curls as she thought they were really nice and was surprised at how curly they were. I don't get it, condisering she has been in these for years, this hair of mine should not be a surprise as I have seen people with much more curlier hair than mine! She was not the first to tell me this. Hmm..strange. I always get this reaction whenever I go for haircuts. (I hardly stay with the same stylist because I am always cutting my hair out of impulse and so land at the nearest salon I am at, no different for this though I made sure this time, it was a place that was reputable.) The straightening cream longer than expected to set in because yes, my hair was too curly for it to work on and this plus all the others added made it a 5 hour long butt-aching experience. But it was all worth it. =)

Finally. I have never changed my hair style except for its length because of my curls and I won't say that I do not miss them, I am just feeling a little relieved without them. They always had a mood of their own. They would be the envy of many one day and a boon to me in another, it was not easy maintaining them. they had a diva-like personality and a tantrum could be thrown anytime leaving me looking like Albert Eienstine's distant relative for the day. I cannot afford having such days now that I am working. The students would run at the sight of a teacher looking like that!

Anyway, am not putting up any pictures just yet because my hair is still settling and thus is looking flat so maybe another time. Oh wait! I did not rebond my hair per se just did a soft rebond so that I could get that wispy look I have always wanted since years ago but never had the guts to do so.

Surprisingly, my grandfather, a traditionalist, likes it, so now I am left with my father. Yup, he has not seen it cause he was already sleeping when I got back home at 8pm. (He was sick) so am keeping my fingers crossed. =) But oops! too late! Nothing can be done now so I have to just maintain my cool and let one ear in and the other out.

At least my head feels cooler and lighter now. I can finally feel air passing through when I walk and I never knew how haggard I looked with the weight of my curls pulling down all these while till I saw my new self in the reflection. I looked so alive and awake AND YOUNGER. =)

If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.

Feeling so negative. Have a pile of things to complete and have no inkling of a clue as to where to start from and they are all due freaking next week! I have 2 assignments to submit for DAS, 1 oral procedures test the same week and my SEN room to finish with! To top it all of, MOE is taking us out for 2 additional days for training in ADHD which leaves me with just Wednesday and Friday to SQUEEZE everything in!

I feel like puking cause my head in aching and caught in a whirl wind of thoughts.

Please PLEASE help me get through dear Mr BIG guy up there. I need all the strength I can get to just focus and I believe that with that, half of my battle has won.

On a lighter note, feel like having a haircut. Something different, something a little drastic just to help me relax. hmm..maybe, maybe not. I want to but have no guts to.

Well, that is the last thing my mind needs to boggle over.

Peace out!
