AIYOOO SANGAAAAAAA MALAAAAAA!!!!!

Apoo today was quite a shocker noooooo. I mean really terrorism seems bit of a joke now ne. The blokes don't even know who or what to target anymore. The Srilankan cricket team of all the people.Our innocent 'poll sambolai batthui' eating cricketers. Pawu aney. Was in grade eight at the time my phone buzzed, deciding how best to drill the idea of what voltage is through their thick skulls.

Nevertheless what I was doing with a phone in a class u may wonder. Wwell courtesy to husky. I had to smuggle it into the class because his friend was bringing me a gift (from husky that is ) :D The gift was deffa the best part of the scene and it deffa was worth all the smuggling! What i liked the most was the packing. it was soo awsum with a nice blue ribbon and all that. It looked soo appealing prolly because i cant seem Even master the art of packing a rice parcel properly! got a little bit of special thanking to do tonight..ahem..;)

Anyways moving on to our terrorist ayyala's, i did get a news alert while i was in grade eight which i didn't bother reading.I heard it all from husky when he called..damn was i shocked..THE SRILANKAN CRICKET TEAM WAS ATTACKED BY UNIDIENTIFIED TERRORISTS IN PAKISTAN!!!!!seriously pictured how big ajantha's eyes would have become. That all i look at when ever i see him..seriously. The reuters say "They appeared to be well-trained terrorists. They came on rickshaws. They were armed with rockets, hand grenades, kalashnikovs." i mean really, who and why would they want to throw grenades at our boys? and attack them with kalashinikovs! I MEAN KALASHINIKOVS!!! HOW MANY OF OUR BOYS DO YOU THINK CAN EVEN PRONOUCE THAT WORD!?! pathetic isnt it..

Just a seconds later old Sam struts into the room almost screaming her head off! "Our team has been shot, SANGA has been shot!!!!" i mean really, rumours sure spread like grape vine, but it sure is as efficient as a game of secret passing..everything has to be twisted around! and there was this seventy year old woman almost in tears over Sanga's plight. She really fancies him. Letting datha take over the tedious task of calming her down i walked into grade 10.

Double physics..sukz..anyways was happy to know they didn't know anything about it yet, and knowing the girls were die hard cricket fans i delivered the news as solemly as i could.. Iinitially it was just shock, followed by damns, screws and fucks. I mean really I was a teacher but they paid no heed.. Well was really touched by their patriotism...because generally cricket is the ONLY thing they feel patriotic about! After a few minutes of hoos and haas i ordered them to settle down and i was just about to begin on boring half life of radiactive elements when this girl burst out crying..i mean really, thats the fist time i saw anyone just BURST out crying..It was Hashy, an other wise very sweet girl.

"mm..miss ddddo you th..think he's ok???"

" err..whose ok??"

I was really confused. I mean she was laughing her ass off about sum joke when i entered the class and now she was crying. My species..not the most predictable thing on earth.

the other girls around her giggled.

"Its SANGA miss! she's terrified that he's hurt. you said he was shot nooooo.." they chorused.

"jeeeeez"

seriously i just stood there looking at her..And i burst into a fit of giggles..
she was crying real hard now..her friends were by then surrounding her, comforting her and snickering at the same time.

I shook my head at them..they seemed to be in no mood for any physics..i carried my pile of books and made m way not the staff room to be greeted by grieving- teary eyed Sam. BBRRRRRRRRRRR....not again!

Give me a BREAK!!!!!

Screw the bloody terrorists!

teacher blues!!

Wow, I abandon my blog for few days and my besty starts taking over. Sooow i thought its time to regain my copyrights.hehe. Just kidding, that was an awsum thing you did azee.Was ignoring writing in here because I almost drowned in all the other stuff I had to do. Just reminded me of people who actually bother reading all this stuff ( that's husky excluded because Ive to force him to do it anyway..He's like the most not literate person on earth! Hates reading while me on the other hand spend half my living day lights reading. Weird ne, matches really are made in heaven, cause it's all a sweetly tangled.hehe ).


Been real tight these days, with the last semester around the corner. Which means EXAMMMMSSSSSS are on the way..Seriously exams suck universally..more when you are teacher than when you are student because the tedious task of having to actually mark a 'REMIX' of what you once taught them lay ahead.

Its not easy on the students either, Ive been there and i know it all. But there was nothing like breezing through a paper that you were well prepared for..it was always sunshine for me..hehe..husky has quite a vivid view on exams though..To quote him he feels 'cornered' during exams and also um 'turned on'..Can u make anything outta that??? i generally keep away from him during the 'rare' times he does study for an exams for reasons you guys pretty much can comprehend..hehe


The pre-exam period is just as difficult.People say students find it hard to deal with exam tension, but helloo, take it from me, its actually the other way around..Its really the teachers who suffer with exam tension.Its really frightning having to do revision with the kids..i look at them and pop a question and they blink black as trying to remember something that happened in some previous birth. Its a frigging turn off..





i litrally look like that..need i say more?


Its just a handfull of them who actually do this..not really worried about the bright nerd cases, its the weaker students that really matter.. And when you do succeed with them, the pleasure is mutually immense..Just one bright smile they flash makes it all bloody worth while..You can actually hear them thinking- i can do it too.. wel wel, il just keep my fingers crossed. At the rate im going, my fingers wont last for long!

I promise all you readers that I will churn out a post once in two days. I realized the importance of correct spelling and capital letters thanks to my darling friend Az. So I'll be correcting those mistakes in ALL my previous posts and will continue to write in the proper manner from now on. My good friend Az made me understand that my remarkable writing talent will not show unless I correct that. I am a person who keeps promises. As Az would tell you I am a trustworthy person so you can expect me to keep my promise on all the above mentioned things. Take care ppl. You will be seeing more of me from now onwards! :)

home sweet home

I stepped in there, taking in the refreshing salty breeze that gently kissed my cheeks. A welcome change; a secret place; a sweet escape..you name it and it was that. i walked, dazed and mesmerized by the breathtaking beauty..so serene..so tranquil..i could hear nothing but my own ragged breath..i wrapped my arms around myself, embracing, a slow smile breaking through my lips..i lowered myself onto the fresh silky green tuft..bent forward to inhale the sweet fragrance of the white roses that surrounded me..i lay there..hands behind my head,staring at the pearl blue sky..a single white dove winked at me from high above, while the cool breeze tickled my skin and soft tides kissed at my feet..i closed my eyes..



bliss..



bliss..



bliss..




"Settling in then" my eyes fluttered open, half annoyed half curious, in answer to the sweet soothing voice..the flowers smiled at me, swaying their graceful white heads. "of course" i smiled back, already instep with their dance. I looked down at myself,i looked like them.Dressed in a white flowing gown;a garland of sweet flowers adorned my head..I caught my reflection on the crystal blue water, i looked beautiful. I swirled.The wind singing at my ears, the waters slashing harmoniously on the glassy pebbles..i whirled around, feeling euphoric..ecstatic..The flowers whirled with me..i laughed..it was musical..i walked gently..wanting to memorise every bit of everything i saw..i continued for moments..long blissful moments..my feet hit on something;the first awakenings of pain..It felt oddly foreign..i looked down..something gold flashed before my eyes..i bent to get a closer look..


A lamp!


Just like the one in Aladdin's. I picked it up excitement and curiosity accelarating my heat beat..I rubbed my palm on the side, it was worth a try..All i saw was smoke..blue green gold smoke..




POP!!!!


"Greetings me fair lady"



I threw the lamp and backed away. There he was..A real gene...he grinned down at me, flashing his big white teeth..My fear overtaken by the amazment of all that mythical splendour i was seeing..magnificent he was..finally finding my voice,



"your Aladdin's gene!!are you not?"



" oh my fair maiden, do not speak of him.." he continued looking offended.



"it only insults my powers to be compared to him. He, as you wish to know, is a distant cousin."


i nodded, dazed..Nothing really registered.



" speaking of my powers,at last I'M FREEEEEEEEE!!!!! he boomed


"you my fair pretty lady set me free..i must admit i was getting bored with the lamp..high time it happened after 3000 years..and for releasing me i shall grant my fair lady anything her heart desires "


"oh u mean i like get three wishes??!"


"noo no no no no," he wagged his fat finger at me.



"not three..ask away me lady, to your heart's content..only after you are content would i be free to leave.."


"hmm..well, so you'll give me anything i ask..anything??"


"ask away me lady..Will happen at the zap of me fingers"


"zap zap zap zap!"


"aha, hear me out first..by the way, if you've been spending the last 3000 years in that lamp, u think you could give me what i want??..things have really changed around here you see.. LIKE men no longer take daggers into their hearts if their lady love happens to die..they simply find another girl or worse another man. and thats prolly the beginning of the list"



"Alas, me lady! my powers are beyond your assessment..ask away!" he sighed



"As for how you humans behave,I could never comprehend 3000 years ago.. and i have no intention of doing so now. Ignorance is bliss me fair maiden!"



" oh Mr gene, ive wished like a million times that someone would grant me three wishes..now that i doooo have it im quite clueless!"


"uuuuuuuumans" he muttured


pretending to not have heard him, i continued..


" so you think you can make us all EITHER white or black? EITHER rich or poor?


could you stop all wars, conflicts and genocide?


would you put an end to hatred, tyranny, terrorism and abuse??



can you find a mum n dad for every orphan out there?

could you mend broken hearts? could you give them their love?

could you make the blind see and the crippled walk?

could you turn back time and make it stop?

could you stop death? could you bring lives back?

could you make dreams come true?

could you atleast give me hope?

could there be one faith, one colour and one shape?

could you make us content? no want, no greed, no anger, no pain, no hurt, no loss??

could you make us all happy and ONE?

im done with the tears gene..

could just please make me smile??


i looked up at the gene, gazing into his bright blue eyes-searching, hopefull.



He looked pained..his smile no longer promising;actually he was'nt smiling at all..


"oh my poor fair maiden, i pray to thee.


Please dont set me free"


POP!!!


blue green gold smoke again..this time the smoke winding into the lamp..


I looked down at the lamp,the following words appeared on it:


"HOME SWEET HOME"

I smiled

It was time for me to return home too..i looked back at the flowers, they waved at me..they looked so calm. I inhaled the intoxicating sweet fragrance that hung in the air around me..it filled me up with hope..maybe strength as well..


"i'll be back again.." i told them

"when i need to breath"

The tiny specs girl


Im seated here, the music on full blast on my headphones. I'm hardly listning to the lyrics. I just need the sound-a getaway.I need the music to drown the loudness of this voice that keeps playing on my head. Listning to it gets me no where and i find myself thinking and thinking just to end up where i started..messed up in genral. But again who isnt messed up these days? our cricket team's one classic example.


Anyways my 19th century VDU seems to be finally showing signs of ageing and that explains the delay in the posts. I need to chuck the thing out and get a new one, but ofcourse as always im brokeee!!!!!!!!!!! ive this 'magic' wallet, quite contrary to being full of bucks, evrytime i put my money into it, it seems to suck it up faster than the black hole. Recesssionnnnn sure is here!


Was in for quite a shocker earlier this week..my besty texts me up around 10 at nite to tell me she was going to get engaged. i checked the date to see if it was the first of april..realizing that we just stepped into 2009 i called her up. It was for real. She wasnt pulling my leg. I was sooo errr confused..I know you think im being paranoid and stupid but i dont know..azee just cant get engaged like that.i mean she'd have to marry eventually if so rite?? thats the problem, i cant imagine azee married!

Its not like ive the most boring life on earth you know.I just try to get hold of the whole rollercoastric style of it and whoaaa im in for yet another shocker..at first i was just completly shocked..i mean azee just cant get engaged because she has to get married then! and i just couldnt imagine her married..my deceitful dramtic mind was already conjuring mental images of azee walking down an aisle with macho-kinda guy and then an image of a tiny azee calling me aunty. darn! it was quite an ordeal that day and i remember shaking it all off my head as soon as the images had formed.

I know u dont understand why im freaking out soo much..here's the titbit. Its an arranged marriage.So it just worked out quite suddnly. i knew it was bound to happen sooner or later but i guess never expected it to be this soon! and i guess im scared..you knw worried..i was never in for an arranged marrige..i mean i really wanted to get to know the person i was going to eventually tie a knot with..i wanted the same for azee..felt she should get to know this guy she was going to spend her entire life time with. But she's real conservative, so she's all cool with the arranged marriage thingy and from what ive heard soo far, this guy- Miffy, sounds great. so alls good..ive kept my fingers crossed anyway..


Feels weird to think she'd be getting married and all dat..i just want this to be perfect for her..because she's this girl with an amazing heart..she just simply cares n cares n cares about evryone..pretty much like mother theresa, you know the too good to be true kind. hehe. thats what i like the best about her. i mean to think of it, its this thing we used to share in common..After a number of umm mishaps ive learnt that u simply cannot be that way with evryone..its a cruel world out there..if u just happen to care too much about people, they just tend to take you for granted, use you and den they are done..and u just hang in their regretting and taking all the shitty consequences that follow..ive been through it and it hurt like hell..i just dont want azee to go throught all that.


Its sweet to think of how we became best buds.I remember being not very happy about my 6th year in school because we were burdened with the unwelcome news of the two parallel grade five clases (5M and 5H) were to be combined for the following school year. Azee was in 5M and me in 5H and i simply hated her class. I wouldnt get along very well with anyone in dat class bec i thought they were all pretty stuck up.Initially i was very subtle with azee because she was always kind and nice to evryone..But the fact that she belononged to the M class was enough for me to cut her off my i like you list.

Anyways the claseses were merged but we separated ourselves within the class; we sat on two sides of the class room. Our girls wouldn talk much with them and likewise..This continued for like a month or so but soon we were warming up to their presence..And one day- i rem that day soo wel..It was a free period or sumthing and i was writing sumthing on my book. The girl who sits next to me had left school so the chair remained empty.

"Can i sit here"

i luked up and saw azee, peering at me throught her specs..i smiled.

"Sure"

and she sat..i remember, distinctly, seeing friends whispering to each other.It was quite a brave thing to do, because her friends obviously didnt approve with what she had just done. and we sat there in silence for a few minutes. i continued with my work.

"do u have a best frind?" she asked


i looked at her, smiled and said "no"


Silence again. I went back to what i was doing.


"um ok, can we be best frinds???"


i looked up at her. She looked very excited and i smiled back at her, equally excited. The idea seemed good and i liked her.

"Allright then. Lets be best friends"

And we were and stil are!


hehe..we've laughed about it countlesst times..it all seems stupid and sweet now..but im grateful it happened..my life wouldnt have been the same without the tiny specs girl in it..she's been the best friend ever,even if ive been stupid and moronic enought to hurt her. Along the years we even lost touch because of my stupidity..but she never gave up on me..She made it a point to keep in touch and eventually she helped break the ice and forgave me for hurting her..and nothing has chnged since..


And Azee, if your reading, your about to make the biggest transition of your life and i just want you to know that il always be here for you..to celebrate the triumphant moments and to assure you we screwed up in not soo triumphant ones. Just continue to be the angel you are. Its hard not to love you and girl, ur gona win Miffy's heart in a jiffy. And hey, You rock, your my besty ne. hehe
