Me and my stuck car.

I had my car stuck when I was trying to park the car today. I thought I was totally screwed when the car wouldn't move an inch.

It all started when I couldn't find a shady place to park my car near my auntie's house. So I decided to park on the pavement of my auntie's neighbour's house, which was shady because of the bamboo trees. I had parked my car there before, so I was confident that I could do it again smoothly. As I drove towards the pavement, a motorcycle that was parked by the side of the pavement caught my eyes, but I didn't give in to the internal alarm that rang in my brain. I just accelerated my way up to the pavement. As my sister, who was sitting next to me, started to tell me that I shouldn't be parking there, I heard a screeching sound. The first thought that came to my mind was, "Sh*t, I'm in deeeeeeeeep trouble".

Summer 2012

Summer break's gonna end soon. That was fast. Long, but fast. In these four months, I think I've spent most of the time looking at my laptop screen (as usual). My brain's a bit too rusty, but I'm ready to reverse the redox reaction during the second year (I think). I heard it's gonna be a killer year. I barely survived the first year (due to my own mistakes), but I'm gonna try really hard to do my best this year.

The summer break was not too bad. I..
  1. learned how to swim (barely)
  2. burned my skin numerous times (it's still healing)
  3. tried various Malaysian food for the first time (notably nasi kandar and char koey teow)

நடுவண் (Naduvan)

Recently, I listened to a Tamil song. I was amazed by the song, because it is the first ever Tamil rap religious song that I've listened too! Well, it didn't exactly sound like rap for some reason, but Athiruban Manoharan Naicker, famously known as Dr Burn, has wrote the song very well that he stole my heart. I am just wowed at his excellence in writing and pronouncing Tamil words. The song is basically about Hinduism, or more specifically, Shaivism. I myself am not really familiar with the religion, but the message in the song is basically about life, death and Lord Shiva. Humans make sins, not realising that the body and life that they have is just temporary. God is eternal, and surrendering to Him shall cleanse all the sins from humans. It's something that I've heard many times before. But, like I said, I was amazed by the words Dr Burn picked to convey this message. I tried hard to find the Tamil lyrics for this song (not transliteration of the song lyrics in English, but in actual Tamil words), but I couldn't find any. So, I decided to write out the lyrics in Tamil using Google Transliteration. My Tamil usage has been rusty nowadays, so pardon me if some of the words are spelled wrongly and feel free to comment the right way of writing them. :)
