You know, I was looking through the dictionary hours back to get in touch with words that seem so ancient to me now compared to back then. Army makes a person stupid. It's evident. I can't help it. Anyhow, have you ever wondered who invented the dictionary? And how he had to memorize so much words to write down and explain the meaning for? That's a tough piece of shit I kid you not. But of course, as much as he did his best, he conveniently left out a few words. And he left out words so obvious that sometimes when I see people doing something, I wouldn't know how to explain it to my friends what they were doing. Coz there are no words in english to explain what they are doing. So, let's make things simple. Let's unword them. Like this:
Alcological [Al-co-low-gi-cal]a. (adj) Things that seem logical only after consuming large amounts of alcohol.
Disconfect [Dis-kon-fect]a. (v.) To sterilize a piece of candy that dropped on the floor by blowing it. This is perfectly useful for my mum.

Abandick [Ab-an-dig]a. (v.tr.) To leave a man in the middle of sex just because you think you're going too far cause you're Singapore's most innocent girl and a family throne, causing him to be left behind in frustration and physical discomfort.
Benefriend [Ben-e-ffrr-end]a. (n.) A so-called friend with whom one partakes in devious activities, often stereotyped as sexually immoral acts, without fear of ruining the friendship and without any commitment. A friend with benefits if you ask me. [Please do ask me actually!]
Elecelleration [El-a-cel-ayshun]n. The mistaken notion that the more faster and harder you press the buttons in the lift, the faster it'll arrive.
Frust [Fr-ust]n. The small line of debris that refuses to be swept into the dustpan and keeps backing a person across the rooms until he finally decides to give up and sweep it under the rug.
Neonphancy [Ne-on-pan-cy]n. A floresant light bulb struggling to come to life.
Phonesia [Fo-ne-zia] The affliction of dialing a phone number and forgetting who we are calling just as they answer.
Kidiot [Key-di-ot]a. (n.) A highly annoying kid.
Nipply [Nip-li]a. (adv.) Condition caused by a cold room, excitement or fear.

Brunch [Brun-ch]a. (n.) A meal taken on behalf of the missed breakfast and lunch.

You know, I can't hold much longer. It's about time I came back to doing what I used to do best. Put everyone on fuck while the fun lasted. And god damn, did I miss this blog and everyone I put on fuck carefree. It's me. Once again. This time, to stay on.
Fresh out from the army, I is looking for a job. And trust me, it ain't that easy to find. Especially when I am trying to find a job that is flexible. What adds fuel to fire, is the fact that I am indian. What adds kerosene to fuel is the fact that I'm the kind of inidan who prays and NEEDS to visit the temple more than I visit the toilet. Let's face the fact. Unlike YOU, I visit the temple everyday. If I'm gonna be working shift jobs, it's gonna eat up the amout of time I visit the temple or go for bhajans. I was looking through the papers today when I saw all kinds of job advertisements. Now, do you really think they mean what they say? I'll tell you what they really mean.

It's about time what I started came to an end. The end is now I guess. I've had a hell of a time blogging and I think this blog has went places and back. Made me know more people. And change some people's life in some way or another- good or bad. Blogging's a good way to distress if you ask me. Anyhow, I won't be blogging anymore. If you were one of those who read and enjoyed it, I appreciate it. If you were one of those who read and teared, I LOVE IT! I've made my mark while I was still around. It's about time I concentrate on real proper things. With love, and as how I always love to say it, A-D-I-O-U-S! Praba

If there was anything at all I could return the man who made me, it would be nothing more than myself. And come december, you will see the last of this blog and the old Praba you knew. Come the end of this year or the early 2010, Praba's gonna convert to a Brahmin. And he's becoming a priest. This is the longest ever dream I've had and finally the puzzle pieces have been put together. I am now getting ready for the transformation. You get ready for the disappearance.

You know, the gender war between men and women will NEVER end. It's just how nature is. I will never get along with any girl. I just somehow get put off at some time. And so will they. It's just not me to click with a girl. And they too, on the other hand, will never understand me. And I don't need them to actually. Sometimes, things are better left unsaid and untouched. But I will answer basic questions. The ever honest me.
Q: Why are men such jerks? A: It's in the testosterone. Much similar to your PMS thingy. We men suffer from testosterone poisoning. Why do you think the average life span of a male is typically 10 years shorter? [And it's not just from all the bitching and nagging we have to endure] Hormones modify behaviour. We're just misunderstood.
Q: Why do men always have to ogle at other women? A: Again, this is a testosterone thingy. Do you honestly think all that testosterone fell off from our bodies the moment we met you? Besides, women do it as well. Women are just better at not getting caught. It's some sort of photographic memory deal. Women take one quick look and memorise it for later reference. Since men lack this ability, we tend to stare longer and as much as we can to try and burn this into our memory.
Q: Why do men always touch themselves, especially in public? A: We occasionally need to adjust our little friend and make him happy. It's much like adjusting your bra. Being in public just doesn't give me the excuse to not adjust him. It's uncomfortable you know?
Q: Why do men always say such stupid things? A: We like to. It's actually a whole lot of fun to see you women get frustrated by a few simple [and well chosen] words.
Q: Why are men so uncommunicative? A: So that you learn to shut that big fat mouth of yours too if you always get into trouble by opening it and saying the wrong stuff.
Q: Why do men have to act such retards? A: Actually we don't have to. We do it because we enjoy it.
Q: Why can't men just share their feelings? A: Do we look like women to you? Why is it so hard to understand that men and women are different? How are we supposed to share how we feel when we have no idea on how we feel? Unless you're talking about a brick landing on my head from the 30th storey, I have no idea how I feel.
Q: Why can't men just say "I love you"? A: Men are taught from tender young age to be self sufficient. To say that we love you is equivilent to saying that we need you. Most men consider this a character fault. It's not easy to admit one's character fault, is it?
Q: Why do men say "I love you" when they barely a women? A: Haha! Aren't you supposed to be special? Some men consider this a special way of saying that you're special. And some think it's a sure fire way to get into your pants. [And quite surprisingly, it still works. Ho ho ho]
Q: Why doesn't a man sometimes answer a women?
A: We simply don't have the energy to answer every single one of your stupid questions. If we think we do not have the answer or that you will not like the answer, we will keep quiet and preserve the energy for other things.
Q: Why do men just fart out loud and not maintain it on the low?
A: Actually, I was doing up a post on farts. I will release it on a later date but the reason why we fart is to show that we're comfortable with you. Believe it or not, it's a sign of affection. [Besides, holding it back for hours causes stomach cramps]
Q: Why do men hate shopping?
A: This, I need to badly answer. It's an evolutionary thing. Men hunt. Women gather. We just want to go out, kill it and bring it back. Who the hell wants to spend hours to look at things we don't intend to buy? Besides, what the fuck are your female friends for?
It's in the human nature to believe that the worst, only happens to them. Nothing peculiar. Always happens. Everyone's guilty of it. But, you'll never know. As listed below, things could be a lot worse actually.
Bad: Your vibrator is missing Worse: Your daughter borrowed it
Bad: You find a porn CD inside your son's room Worse: You're in it
Bad: Your children are sexually active Worse: With each other
Bad: Your husband's a cross dresser Worse: He looks better than you
Bad: Your son's involved in satanism Worse: As the sacrificial
Bad: Your wife's leaving you Worse: For another women
But sometimes the good don't last. Like this:
Good: Hot outdoor sex Bad: You're arrested Worse: By your husband
Bad: The secretary said 'yes' Worse: But your wife says 'no'
Good: The teacher likes your son Bad: Sexually Worse: He's gay
Good: You came home for a quickie Bad: So did your neighbour
Good: Your boyfriend's exercising Bad: So that he can fit into your clothes
Good: Your child's waiting for the prince in shinning armour Bad: Your son that is.
Good: Your wife's kinky Bad: With the neighbours Worse: All of them
Ah damn! Now I am convinced fate has it's cruel jokes. So long!
