the future's not ours to see
so arefaben (whom i will now address as 'bhen', which means elder sister, for the rest of my post) left for dubai last night. sure she'll be back, but then she'll leave for real in april again. and i can't imagine what might be going through her head. leaving everything behind for a completely new place. new country, new house, new faces, even new hairdresser and optician. all i know is that she's gonna leave me to start her new life there and i can't even begin to describe how sad i am.
and if i've lived with her for 17 years, out of which 4-5 years i don't even remember, and i'm feeling like this, i really don't know how my parents are feeling. they'd lived with her for 22 whole years, and they remember every single one of those years. bhen if you're reading this, i didn't cry at the airport because i didn't wanna make you cry. i comforted myself with the fact that you're coming back. but i don't think i'll be able to control my tears in april. bhen, i will miss you very very much. heck, forget will, i already miss you so much. i pray that you'll have all the happiness you want and need in your new house. and no matter what, i'll always be there for you. i know you still see me as your little sister, not grown up enough. but i hope that'll change one day and i'll be grown up enough for you to confide in me when you need to. i don't think i say this often enough bhen, but i love you, fiercely and very very much. and if you're reading this jiju (which means brother-in-law), take good care of bhen k! she may seem all strong and independent, but i know she's a bit scared. so take care of her k! sometimes i worry too. and i bet i'm not the only one. many girls worry abt this too. right? coz i'd probably get married one day too, and i'd possibly have to leave s'pore, my life, my parents, alef, my friends, my house. and i'd most definitely have to give up my surname. what will my life be like? will i have to change my lifestyle? eat some different kind of food? dress differently? will i get to work? it scares me sometimes, thinking about all this. someone told me a long time ago that i worry too much and i should just learn to relax. and so i decided to live life for the moment, worry when the time comes. but after bhen got married, the teasing began. people telling me how i'm next in line and asking me whether i want a guy from london or america or dubai or india or australia or timbuktu. and then without my wanting it, the worrying began again. but then this song helped: When I was just a little girl I asked my mother, what will I be Will I be pretty, will I be rich Here's what she said to me. Que Sera, Sera, Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours, to see Que Sera, Sera What will be, will be. When I was young, I fell in love I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead Will we have rainbows, day after day Here's what my sweetheart said. Que Sera, Sera, Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours, to see Que Sera, Sera What will be, will be. Now I have children of my own They ask their mother, what will I be Will I be handsome, will I be rich I tell them tenderly. Que Sera, Sera, Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours, to see Que Sera, Sera What will be, will be. there is some truth in that. whatever will be, will be. i just need to relax again, take it one step at a time. and then maybe the future won't be as scary as i make it out to be.

for you, a thousand times over
i hadn't read a good book in a long time, not since i read The Alchemist, until i read The Kite Runner. someone recommended it to me a long time ago, but i never got down to reading it. now that i have, i must say that it hasn't disappointed me at all. and it's not those kinda 'good books' that really piss you off because you have to read it with a dictionary next to you. TKR uses vocabulary and sentence structures that are so easy even primary school children could read it. but it's still so wonderful because the author weaves this simple language into such a nice read, i don't think anything i say will do it enough justice.
for instance, i'm a rather impatient person, and thus reader, so i tend to skip descriptions when i read novels so that i can get on with the story. but with TKR, i found myself reading every single word in the book, savouring it. the author describes the scenes so vividly i could imagine the scene unfolding in my head. and another thing about this book is that everytime you think things have settled down, you flip the page and suddenly something completely unexpected has happened! and then you're sitting on the edge of your seat once again, your head buried in the book, unable to put it down. the book basically revolves around the life of a boy named Amir, his relationships, his fears, his betrayal and his redemption. i hear there was a movie made based on this novel. i've never liked movies made based on novels. they rob you of your imagination really. right now, after reading the book, i have imagined Amir's house in Kabul in my head, imagined Amir, Hassan, Baba and all the other characters, and watching the movie might just spoil what i'd imagined. like the time i watched Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. After reading the book, i had imagined the Oompa Loompas in my head, and the Oompa Loompas in the movie didn't even come close to what i had imagined. it was disappointing because after a while, i had forgotten the Oompa Loompas i had imagined earlier, and now only those ugly dwarves in the movie pop up in my head when anyone talks about Oompa Loompas. you know what i mean? and ironically, it was the Oompa Loompas who sang this about television: It rots the senses in the head! It kills imagination dead! It clogs and clutters up the mind! It makes a child so dull and blind He can no longer understand A fantasy, a fairyland! okay i know you must be thinking Oompa Loompas? what a rotten example. but oh well x) just trying to bring a point across! but anyway, i still love The Catcher in the Rye more than any other book in the world. and now i really really want to read A Thousand Splendid Suns! does anyone have it?? and now moving away completely from books and stuff, i've just realised that the Secret Santa thing is so difficult! i have no idea what to get her =( how now brown cow? not that i'm racist or anything haha so you can give me suggestions even if you're not brown. or not a cow. actually on second thought i'd prefer it if you weren't a cow. i don't think i'd like advice from a cow. and all this talk abt Secret Santa reminds me! HAPPY BIRTHDAY IZZAH ABDULLAH! i love you! Monday, November 24, 2008
i'll be alright =)
hello all! i watched Dostana some time ago, and no matter what people say, i loved it. i never stopped laughing throughout the entire movie. it is true that the movie was portraying gays in the wrong light, but come on, just take it lightly and the movie will be a joy. there was only one thing i really didnt like abt the movie, and that was how they made fun of abhishek's mom's pain when she found out her son is gay. i dont think a mother's pain is something funny. but then again, i have to admit that i even laughed during those parts because the actors really left you with no choice. anyway, there's this song on friendship from the movie which i really like and would like to dedicate to the nicest friend anyone could ask for, OS AGARWAL! Jaane Kyun I’ll be alright Tu hai toh tedhi medhi rahein Tu hai toh jhoothe muthe vaadein Jo dil mein taare vaare de jaga Jo roote roote de hasa Jaane kyun dil jaanta hai Jaane kyun dil jaanta hai Saari duniya ek taraf hai Har khushi to door bhage But when you smile for me Yeh meri zindagi Jaane kyun dil jaanta hai Jaane kyun dil jaanta hai [Yeah yeah yeah O Jaane kyun Jaane kyun dil jaanta hai Jaane kyun dil jaanta hai Tu hai toh tedhi medhi rahein Tu hai toh jhoothe muthe vaadein Jo dil mein taare vaare de jaga Jo roote roote de hasa Jaane kyun dil jaanta hai Jaane kyun dil jaanta hai Movie: Dostana for someone who isn't in my class or any other group with me (other than rmep but that doesn't count haha) and so who is in no way obliged to be anywhere around me, i'm touched that you still choose to be, Os =) and even though you laugh at my chem answers, my empty blog and my other misfortunes, you're still always there for me =) i hope i have been for you as well and hope i will continue to be. and just like ida and tania from the amazing race asia say: friendship is not about accepting someone despite her weaknesses and shortcomings, but because of their weaknesses and shortcomings. I LOVE YOU OS! omg i think we sound totally lesbian, considering that Dostana was a movie about gays and all hehe. but not to worry loved ones of mine and Os'! we are not ever gonna point at each other and say: hum lesbian hai! yeh meri girlfriend hai! coz BOY oh BOY are we straight x) Sunday, November 23, 2008
