[sometimes] They are affectionate. Shower them with love and they will give their love to you. No hanky panky there. They are so genuine with their feelings. I see that with Bobby - such an adorable pet of mine. They protect you. Its no secret that dogs make excellent guards - hence we have the phrase "guard dogs". Do you know some dogs can be very protective of you regardless they are

..with my schoolmates And this happened 3 weeks ago. How could I miss a post on a grand reunion, held for the first time after 14 years? The idea came when I realised there were so many of ex-Dharmarians (former students of SRK / SMK Dharma) in my Facebook list. Writing in each others' wall, sending virtual gifts and exchanging messages in private were proofs that we are still wanna be in

It's a pity that we often found it out late. Be it sale at the nearby mall, empty parking slot or some people's behaviour. Last week, I came across a series of news articles on various crime convicted by people least expected to. Some excerpts:JOHOR BARU: A Form Five student who refused to marry a man who befriended her less than a month ago was abducted, tortured and molested by the man. He also

What a news to start my morning with!! Opened my eyes only to see a sms from sis saying the King of Pop is no more :(I am a fan.Born in the 80's, I grew up listening to him and watching him moon walking. His personal life might be filled with scandals and court cases, but he was a true entertainer. This man was called the KING for a reason ok.I remember his sold-out tour to Malaysia when I was 16

After battling with the new blog template for about 3 weeks, I manage to customised it to what my blog looks now. A tedious process *sigh. The previous theme will remain as one of my favourite.How is the new look, people?Usually I always receive complaints that tulipspeaks is loading very slow. But whenever I check with my own pc, it loads perfectly fine. How about this template? Is it still

That was the name given to the 'advance blogging session' organised in conjunction with PJ Challenge '09 Bloggers Karnival. Frankly, I didn't go to attend any of the activities, just wanted to attend the one my friend, Rames was going to talk in which I later found out to be "Blog 411".Mala, Mahen, Puvanan, Anitha and I were there around 10 something in the morning.

Roller coaster ride. That is ONE phrase that summarised my last 5 years on the bumpy road called life. While I shined and succeeded in one part of life, I failed with a huge zero mark in the other part. Life is, after all not all rosy as they say. If there was a single thing I could not accept, that would be betrayal. And amazingly, that was what I experienced the most. It happened so

I will never claim myself to be an excellent driver, but I certainly follow the rules on the road and loathe at those who do not. Beside the long drives, there is another thing which attracts me to driving - the independence that it gives. It's a pleasure to know that I don't have to depend on anyone or anything to get me going around. Just hop in, start the ignition, slide the gear to D and

It was a weekend away to the beach. For the first time, I spent time by the beach without getting into the water. It gave me opportunity to experiment my Lumix. We reached the beach around 4pm and it was still freaking hot. The sun was not showing any sign of going down at all. It felt like 1pm, rather than 4!Some shots to share:Some photos are available in my facebook album and I will be adding

There is story of a red string which I always share with my girlfriends whenever they come to me, confused with their choice of partner. I'm not in a successful relationship and I never was. But I held on to this story, told by my friend when I was in Form 4. I don't know where she got the story from, but I remind myself of it whenever.. hmm.. well, whenever I need it :PThe story behind the red

Felt like I just posted this on the New Year Day, and right now half of the year is almost gone! Time certainly flies at rocket speed nowadays! Looking back at the past 5 months which was eventful and full of drama, I can't help it but to shed tears. Tears of happiness and sorrow kinda get mixed there though. I remember this Bollywood Girls Day Out with Mala & Sundra. Spent half of the day eating
