Lessons to be learnt in Scotland

Lesson #1

NEVER EVER leave ur house without an umbrella.

it doesnt matter even if u r wearing a water proof jacket, or if ur shoulders are gonna fall off, or even if u think u'd drop dead on d middle of d road due to tiredness n excess baggage, NEVER LEAVE UR HOUSE WITHOUT AN UMBRELLA

WHY? cos u can never trust the weather in Scotland now the weather forecast, just like how u can never trust a man who says trust me



Lesson #2

if it;s already raining when u have to go back, dont bother waiting under the shade for the rain to slow down.

WHY? cos u can wait until next year at d same stop, but the rain is a merciless, heartless thing. it'll never wait for u to reach ur destination before it starts poring!



Lesson #3

Make sure you wear many layers of clothes even if it looks sunny when u leave the house in the morning.

WHY? cos the weather is bound to change in a matter of seconds. so if u wanna reach home in one whole functioning piece, just wear many layers. u'll never sweat in Scotland anyways.



Lesson #4

If you are wearing boots, no matter how late or busy you are, make sure you wear skin socks or any pair of socks.

WHY? cos u wouldnt want to end up with sore feet at the end of the day



Lesson #5

If ur umbrella is broken, go n get urself another one in a one pound shop. NEVER buy expensive umbrellas which u think might last.

WHY? cos no umbrellas can stand the wrath of the Scottish winds. u'll just be wasting extra cash



Lesson #6

NEVER carry sling bags or fashionable bags.

WHY? cos it'll only kill ur shoulders. just get good water-proof bag packs



Lesson #7

DO NOT leave the house without a pair of gloves.

WHY? u go n see la.. then u'll know why!





to be continued when more lessons are learnt the hard way

a quiz that is at least 75% accurate... in my case

Finally... i come across a survey or quiz thingy that is at least 75% accurate. I've never really been a fan of these things, but i sort of do it anyways cos i think its a good laugh in the end when u read wat a computerized program tells about u. give it a try... it hardly takes more than 5 minutes...n d questions are pretty interesting. http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx the link is called 'get to know urself better'. if u need a computer and a webpage to tell u about urself.. then u seriously need help. i'd rather call this thing as '............' *five minutes later* okay... i dont know wat i'd call it, but i'd definitely not want to call it as 'get to know urself better' anyways, this is wat it said about me.. not all is true, but 75% of it is... Your view on yourself: You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally at

i feel like i've missed a lot all these years.. like i do today

this is a very spontaneous post. i never even thought about things like this before... In my quarter of a century of lifetime... never have i ever felt missing out on something being the only child. but today i do. almost all my friends in malaysia have siblings... infact ALL of them had/have siblings... i was d only one who didnt. most of my friends in india have siblings and it didnt bother me. at that time, i felt having a sibling was not all that important. (even now i dont think its all that important). even when i used to go to India for holidays every year ( all the members from my mum's side of the family was there... now most of them are all around the world.. just like my dad's side of the family), i never really felt like i've been missing out in the sibling thing. all my mum's siblings are very closely attached and the love they have for each other is so obvious even when they are talking about them to ppl not in the family. like, one of my aunt would say.
