one tree hill
season 3 episode 16

does this darkness have a name ?
this cruelty
this hatred

how did it find us
did it steal into our lives
or did we seek it out and embrace it

what happened to us
that we now send our children into the world
like we send young men into war
hoping for their safe return
but knowing that some will be lost along the way

does this darkness have a name ?

is it your name ?

received an email from mufy96 alumni this morning that literally brought me down memory lane…. and made me chuckle to myself (thank god everybody else had yet to arrive at the office!).. just had to place it here – who knows, next year he’ll write another one for our 1st year at monash.

got me recollecting quite a few more memories of ye olde days kekeke.. prolly time to do a full-blown reunion.. with partners and offsprings in tow?

Happy 10th yr anniversary. each one of us now represent 1 yr of our batch’s existence.

time to go a-rummaging thru those boxes i brought back from melbourne but never did get ’round to unpacking – mostly photo albums and aussie accounting standards (?).. got me a project for this weekend!! (apart from completing both amir & my tax assessments)

it’s been ages since both amir & i been to the movies. the last movie may have been spiderman 2 or was it the first installment? i can’t recall.. it’s been thaaaaat long. post-delivery we’ve been to movies like 4-5 times – all of ‘em after setting up m.o.u. with mama & papa to look after her in the evening.anywho, so last week we both decided it’s time for another foray to the cinema.. to catch pink panther – and to bring kya along! weird choice of a movie to bring a 2.5 year old along – but if you’ve seen her watch pirates of the carribean, you’ll know that she’s ok with grown-up movies.so we booked the tickets online for the early bird show on saturday @ tgv suria klcc – last row, of course, just in case we needed to make a quick exit.she was happy enough to arrive @ klcc – her mama works there, y’know. but when i took her to tgv itself to collect tickets – she freaked a bit due to the lighting & the big posters, i guess. managed to coax her to the ticket collection booth by showing her the lovely stars on the carpeting. the same trick was also applied when we entered the cinema halls.the cinema hall air-conditioning was on full-blast – good thing i came prepared – so on went another layer of clothing on kya. she was also quite concerned when the lights went off, prompting a ‘mama, pasang la lampu baliiikkkkkkk‘

for the first half of the movie, we left the cinema hall a total of 5 times (incl. a false poo-poo alarm) but finally managed to settle down when inspector clousou started his accent coaching.. aye woooodd lie do bey ey dembeger and kya remained glued to the big screen til the end with her hand in the popcorn box & cheezels packet.

all in all, it was a good outing – i hated feeling guilty whenever i went for movies with amir, leaving her at home with her grannies.

next planned movie outing : over the hedge

this should have her glued from start to end – since the producers are from madagascar - and that one is on her list of absolute favorites (alongside doraemon, mickey mouse & friends, mr bean : the animated series)
