Something Light

10 June 2008 – Ok, enough heavy stuff. Those heavy issues can make me feel down. All we can do is try to make our lives better and try to be a better person and try to treat other people with respect. And humor works so well in making my live a little better. This is why I love humorous writing, articles, columns, etc. When I was subscribing Reader’s Disgest, I always read the humour sections first. The laughter Is The Best Medines, Life’s Like That, Humor In Uniforms and things like that at the end of each article.

I read The Star paper and some of the columnists that I love to read are Mary Schneider, Kevin Cowherd, A. Asohan (excellent article on love story in non rom com movies J), sujesh pavithran, dzof azmi, Brenda Benedict, Alexandra Wong…and others. Any article that has humor in it, I’m in. I am such a sucker for anything that can induce laughter. Sitcoms, rom coms, dot coms hahahahahahahaha, no, just kidding. I would like to think I laugh enough. I frown too much sometimes so a laugh sure exercises the face muscles. Though I heard that we use more muscle to frown than to smile. Funny how that is, isn’t it?

Anyway, I love comics. I read them first when I read the paper followed by the sports section of course J. In The Star paper, I like Calvin and Hobbes, Zits, Hagar the Horrible, and though I am not really a fan of Garfield, I do read it anyway. The others too, except maybe Brenda Starr, and Spiderman (oh no, the wrath of spiderman fans) the former because I don’t get it and the latter because it just does not compare to the real comic books version. And I used to love reading Preteena that can be found in the Star Two section every Wednesday but no more. I tried to find it online but no luck. But I do read other comics online. Like Rose Is Rose, Agnes, Andy Cap, Baby Blues, Dinette Set, Jerry King Cartoons, Mother Goose And Grimm, Non Sequitur, Speed Bump, Red And Rover, Doonesbury, etc.

Laughter is the best medicine. A laughter a day keeps the doctor at bay. Hahahaha.
10 June 2008- I think writing is therapeutic.:) I sure feel good writing about anything and everything. Putting into words your thoughts. At this very moment I am listening to this song I’m Yours by Jason Mraz and I kinda like it. There’s a feeling of a Hawaiian guy on a ukulele singing on the beach as the sun sets.



I like Jason Mraz from the start. He is such a unique person. Like Mika of Grace Kelly. Hehehehe. And James Morrison though he is a bid melancholy. Marie Digby, Colbie Caillat, Sarah Bareilles(that song Love Song) and Gavin Degraw. Oh, and that guy who starred in One Tree Hill. He’s singer who hits on Nathan’s wife Haley. Tyler Hilton is the real name. His voice is distinctive. Beck, Jamiroquai (though I only like this one song and I can’t even remember the title but it is catchy), and others. But I kinda realize that I am not really a fan of singers or band but more a fan of songs. Some singers, I don’t even recognize them but I might love one of their songs. This is like how I show my support in sports. I like Kimi Raikkonen, so whatever team he ends up in, I will still support him. Except for maybe Arsenal whom I support no matter who the coach or the players. I digress. But music that is good to listen to will still be good no matter who the singer is. :)

Now, this is what I call a character :)

I was watching MotoGP last night on RTM1 while lulling myself to sleep. My mak is not feeling well (caught the flu bug from me) and I was not sleepy. Then I saw one interesting helmet. Yeah, if you guys are a fan of MotoGP, you would know which helmet I am talking about. :D

That Valentino Rossi is sure one kooky character. His helmet rocks I tell ya. Made me smile. Some people are just funny in a cool way. Check out the helmet that I am talking about :

Can you imagine the guy riding in front of him and seeing that in the rearview side mirror. Hahaha. No wonder he won the race. :P Awesome! Glad to know there are kooky people out there still. We sure need more of those. Go Rossi!!
