CNY 2012...Happy Dragon Year...!

Its Chinese New Year on 23rd February 2012. I need to go for outing. Because its going to be a long holiday for me. So I planned to go to Sunway Pyramid where I found the decoration for this festival was awesome. I wanna take some photographs...of course! So I went with my friend Barathi akka. Here are few shots which were beautiful to my eyes.

The lantern decoration above the ice skating...

The "burning" lantern.....

This decoration was at the main entrance...

This is the temple decoration view from the 2nd floor...

The cultural dance was being performed by the dancers...I am not managed capture the close up because this is the last performance and its almost to the ending. And I think if I run down to take a snap closely, I would have missed even this piece.

Its nice...kind of feeling like you are in CHINA.....:)

The flower deco backing man made waterfall...

The wording meant Dragon arrived at Sunway - Cheerful every where...! (*thanks for the translation by Paun Cher Chin*)

This lantern is so simple yet beautiful and outstanding..

 I like this because this is the only trademark that will tell you "its about CHINA"

Lovely blossom...can you see through what is hidden behind?

Ahaa...you are right...!

 So here I'm presenting you Mr. DrrrrrrrrRagon...:) 

So the Mr Dragon says : "Ladies and gentleman...Welcome to my Year of 2012...! Grrrrhhhh....:)))"

Ohhhhh.....What a outstanding pose!

This is called....Dragon Ball...:))

The authentic view...the real theme....Happy Dragon Year All..!

So after the photo session, we walked for a window shopping...and was looking and grading the beautiful cheong-sam dresses at the Parkson and Jusco...! All were so good looking and the price is "good-looking" too. I think I can buy 4 sarees for 1 cheong-sam. But the thing is you can't make 1 real cheong-sam using that for sarees though...hehe..:) Make sense rite..:)))) 

Then we walk and walk and walk till we get tired and planned to have some tea break since  its only 6.50pm. So we walked-in to the Cinnabon and ordered something that we've never tried before. I ordered cinnamon classic and Barathi akka ordered chocolated classic and for the drinks we both go for hot choc. The cinnamon was not to my favor and I was like wanting the choc when it was served. I always have a habbit that if any of my friends (only the close one) ordered different item than mine, I will offer them to taste my food item. Because I wanted they do the same...hehe:) So when tasting the choc classic...I felt like grabbing the plate from her and run away. But what a great coincident, Barathi akka liked my cinnamon classic very much and we exchange our food item. So nice of her. I tell you guys....the chocolate classic is sooo....delicious and mouth watering! Look at the picture below...you'll know it!

Chocolate Classic...

Hot chocolate...

So that how our evening has ended as sweet as the above two...! Next time I'm sure gonna order 2 servings of this Chocolate classic only for me....!!!

Such A Loving Dad....:)

It was drizzling early morning today! While driving to work...near the PJ Vivekananda school I saw a dad was pushing his punctured motorbike with having his kid sitting on it, towards the school which is 200m away. He can ask the boy to get down and walk with him but he was happily chatting with him. Such a loving dad...:) That makes me to remind my school days...the same school and the same bike ride...! After I get down from my dad's bike he will remove my helmet, take his comb from his pocket and hold my jaw...and comb my hair before I say "bye pa"....:)))

Mottainai...!

This guy was standing in front of me in the queue when I and my mom were waiting to pay for our purchase at Giant counter. Reading what is written in his t-shirt, I told my mom to do the same. My mom was shocked and then smiled and asked me back, "ohw...! how come...? may be he doesn't know the meaning..?! or it must be some other language..!" she said. Well I have the same thoughts too...!

You must be thinking...why there so many chaos in us for that specific word. WHY NOT...? because that word has very different meaning in Tamil. Which is "mottai" means bald and "nai" means dog. So it sounds like a humiliating word when both combined together as"bald-dog". This type of words been much used in rural areas. Very often can be watched in Tamil movies whereby if the story revolves around slums.

But after reading the other words in that t-shirt, I found out it must be an universal word. So here it goes. The actual meaning of MOTTAINAI is Japanese term meaning "a sense of regret concerning waste when the intrinsic value of an object or resource is not properly utilized". Okay that one was stolen from wikipedia. You can read the full explanation here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mottainai 

For short and sweet explanation lover, here you go. A Kenyan environmentalist Wangari Maathai was impressed by the depth of similarity between the Japanese meaning with English which is equivalent to "What a waste" or "Reduce, Reuse, Recyle". So she takes the courage to promote the word and spread the concept to the world as an international expression by wearing T-Shirt with the word printed on.

Not All The Guys...And Not All The Girls...!

I found out something today. I've heard people saying about it and of course as a girl I used to argue and disagree in that issue. But today I watched it by myself and I have to zip up my mouth and remain silent. Isn't it silence is a symbol of agreeing something? Yes...I agreed!

Its about LOVE...!

I met a friend of mine today for an appointment. We were college mates...not same batch...but same gang. He was my junior. When we got to know him, he was in love with a girl. They were school time lovers since he was in Form 5 and she was in Form 1. We've met her few times with him and once did a big drama to her family just to make both of them to meet up. Yes...sounds like Tamil movie rite! Few years later, we got to know that both of them had break-up after our college days. I don't want to talk about the reasons because that is not important here. But my friend had admitted that all was only his fault. 

After the days goes on, once a while we used to meet up. He always asked me to introduce any of my gal friends or asked me to intro him to them in the FB. I know he wasn't serious. Because he likes to tease other gals or likes to give tackling type of look whenever we go outing. Well that makes us laugh at him. He is very funny and kind of happy with his life. 

But what I found out today was he told me that he still can't forget her and regretting very much now and will be for his whole life. He told me she is married, with kid now. I was just listening to his stories and his past year memories. I couldn't speak anything so I was just listening. After had our dinner and lil chat we left the restaurant.

While driving back home something was playing and paused in my brain. Its about another friend of mine. She was a love failure from her 7 years old love whom the boyfriend had done a big betrayal to her. When I met her those days, she was crying and mumbling that she can't forget him, not going to marry anybody, can't think of any other man and so many 'NO's to men. A year later I found out that she met with someone and fall in love again. Then their relationship was not going that well...so they break-up. And again the same dialogue comes out from her...I meant that so many 'NO's. I was just quiet and was listening to her. I was trying to console her but it doesn't work out. At last I told her, "whether u remember or not, but you told me the same dialogue a year ago and you will be telling the same thing again if you break-up again...!" She stopped crying and was looking at me and gave a little smile. (believe me what I said to her had happened 2 months ago).

So the moral of the story is not all the guys who goes after gals and behave like Romeos are bad and cannot be trusted. And not all the girls who break-up with guys will never fall in love again or meet any men after that. If you see they are the one who will get married soon or will be walking with their new boyfriend in a month or two. The girls are looking for "love and security" the most. But the guys are looking for "secured love" foremost. I think that is why a girl's wounded heart is easily can be stitched then the guy's. Because it is easy to get love and security...but hard to get secured love!


*I have mentioned the words saying "not all the guys" and "not all the girls" in bold, underlined, coloured and italic so that I ensure that I'm not blaming all okay...its about "not all"...remember...!*
