A wee landmark...

Hi everyone! I'd never thought i'd complete 25 entries..I mean, everyone i know has 100's of them....hehe...so it's a teeny-weeny-thing...

It's finally rained here..and it's beautiful. ...when the wind blows like that, throwing up dust everywhere, normal people shut the windows and rush to their homes...(note: "normal people")... cracked brains like me go up to the terrace to get dust in their eyes and to get wet in the year's first shower...absolutely heavenly...it's so amazing to inhale the intoxicating smell of wet earth...with a hundred drops falling on you..and the wind blowing like it's got an extremely important and urgent task to attend to...leaves whisper to each other....and then there is the sheet lightning and thunder i enjoy (yep shail aunty, i looove listening to it, hehe) and i keep getting wet till the fork ligtning starts (i'm terrified of that)...that's my cue for rushing back to the safety of my verandah...the thought of being hit by lightning doesn't appeal to me too much, u see...

and it's raining even as i type this...

thing is, i've noticed that mostly everyone has an entry where they kind of introduce themselves and i never did such a thing..so well...better late than never...

It's tough man...coz i'm different with different people and so i'm getting confused...describing myself is something I attempted and gave up ages ago...but i'll give this my best shot...

in case i don't succeed, kindly read "the taurean woman" chapter from Linda Goodman's "Sunsigns" coz it describes me darned well (except the part abt taurean women not being very talkative...hehe )..okie so here goes...

AT HOME: I'm the middle kid, with an elder sis and a younger bro, but i am the pampered one in the family.... my role is that of the entertainer...telling jokes etc...i'm the clown - clumsy, careless, cuddly...and the emotional punchbag (everyone, including younger bro, shouts at me ) but that's ok coz if they don shout at me, then who will they shout at? so i just keep quiet till they shut up...also serve as mom's assisstant where housework is concerned (for proof refer to earlier blog entry :Dust)...sometimes i am really truly lazy...that's usually when i get sick and tired of the nagging and complaining around me (i mean, even the sunniest disposition can't be sunny all the time, can it?)...so being lazy is my way of fighting back (i'm too lazy to get angry and shout back, u c)...when i don feel like doing something, i say so.....at home i'm immature and a real baby...

AT SCHOOL/COLLEGE: Ok...complete image makeover... my sister was shocked when she saw me like this at school....here i'm mature, responsible, very very serious, efficient and hard working...entrusted with all kinds of responsibilities...usually 3 or 4 big ones at the same time (for eg: school head girl + editorial board for school magazine + imp part of history exhibition + volunteer for guides exhibition...phew...i learned multi-tasking that time!!)...also the person to consult when anyone needs any help with studies or anything else....the one the college reps turn to whenever there is an inter-college fest....

WITH FRIENDS: I'm crazy, humorous, trustworthy of deepest secrets, fun and understanding....but my friends tell me i'm the worst person to gossip/bitch with (that is one thing i can't do)...they keep making fun of my inability to get angry (and worse: my complete failure to stay angry with ppl)...

IN GENERAL: There are some things, however, that I am with everyone...I'm honest....I lie very rarely...and if ppl ask for my honest opinion, they get it. And so i appreciate honesty in return. I'm very very VERY stubborn...when i decide to do/get something...I DO/GET IT... but then again, u cud call that determination or perseverance....Oh right, i'm very loyal...i'll do anything for the ppl i care about...I am protective & possessive (which, before u say anything Tenny, is different from being jealous ) and ppl usually don harm/bug/irritate my friends (especially if it is generally known that they are my friends)....I believe in God and take Him as my best friend.....I accept people just as they are (a habit which makes it all the more difficult for me to gossip/bitch *sigh*)...I have mood swings about once a month... I loooove the rain....

i'm very polite mostly...but sometimes, suddenly, out of the blue..i can say something that's very sarcastic and cutting....and sometimes i'm very very talkative and sometimes i'm not...quite unpredictable that way... and i cannot stay without working hard. yep.....that about describes me..

If there's anything else i remember, i'll add it later....enough of narcicism and self-praise for now...hehe u must be sick and tired by now...

oh ya...as a teacher (just a tuition teacher which i have been for abt 4 years now)...i teach pretty well, my kids and i spend much of our time giggling...they mostly do well (the reason why their moms don wanna let go of me) I do teach them much more than simply their syllabus....have a lot of probs getting angry so i have to pretend to be angry when homework is not done (i don shout...just pretend to be real disappointed and hurt and it works wonders! hehe)

goodnight folks! sweet dreams!
