FISH PEDICURE....!

Every busy person in stressful Singapore needs a place to relax themselves besides the comfort of home. In search of a convenient place to relax and abandon all stress, we need to relax and have a good laugh after a hard day's work using the simplest and cheapest way available.I had been contemplating on Fish pedicure for quite sometime now... Today was the day when I put my thoughts into actions!My hubby and I finally visited a fish farm to pamper ourselves ..Fabulous experience being "eaten" by the fish, and not to forget the 'affordable' price!



The fish nibbles away the dead skin leaving the feet soft and smooth!The fish consumes the affected and dead areas of skin.Scary in the beginning as all the fish swarmed at ,my feet like
like how an army would charge on the enemy in a war!Thousands of fish all over my feet!!!


Does it hurt?No. Since the fish don't have teeth, they can not puncture the skin, and because of that there is no pain. But, it does tickle quite a bit, but it's not uncomfortable just a tingling sensation!
A must try!

THE GIRLS DAY OUT.....

Hi,

First of all my anniversary pics am not there in many pics!!!! considering my love for pictures..a pure case of NARCISSISM!the photographer forgot it was MY DAY!!!! And am still fuming about it!
Anyway yesterday Manju left to India and i had a girls day out with my (best) friend(a filipino) .We went to IT show, saw all gadgets, ate all kinda food , got free massages,in massage chair, feet massage, eye massage(all free ) Then we got ourselves EAR-CANDLED!!!!
Ya they burn a candle in ear and that removes all impurities and toxins out of the ears! In office people call me deaf,which i am(left ear partially).Now i can hear even a pin drop!!!!!! CRYSTAL CLEAR!It worked wonders..
Anyway ear-candling takes about 15 min for both ears and then they show u how much toxins ooze out!!! Its a YUCKY scene but it fascinated me!Am not posting those pics..! AM definitely gonna do this monthly!! And only $12!! We even got hand parrafin done...It takes away the dead skin from hands and moisturises it!! WOW wat a great time we gals had...
ANd it gets even better,... We were window shopping (We walked for 5 hours up and down the suntec mall!! 5 HOURS!!)Thats when i saw the CURLERS~!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so so sooooooo bored of my hair style..Never had anythin else but the straight hair(mind you its natural!!! )I've always wanted to try something different,a make-over was what i needed! I had to buy it...
Am a CHRONIC SHOPOHOLIC . I SEE, I BUY ,I BUY MORE...... aNYWAY SO IGOT THIS LADY TO CURL MY HAIR AND WOW......i loved it!finally i can look different... I did buy it after some speculation... $150!! SO WhaT???? Carmi says as long as it makes you happy do the craziest silliest and wackiest thing!!! So i bought it!! Been saving some monety to buy some electronic gadgets for my bro! Hey sorry bro.. but i got some more dough stashed up somewhere just for you:)a SECRET FUND

Anyway Carmi took some pics .. dO post your Comments :)

Just now I had the most intriguing argument ever!
It started with discussing about my short term memory problems with my friend...We spoke about vampires,mermaids,hypnotism,and everything under the sun...Miracles and magic and scriptures...I cant remember the rest(See i told u.Memory problems..!)
Thats when we came up with this question...WHEN DOES A FETUS GET A SOUL??
My friend was of the opinion that it is said in the scriptures that after 4 months of conception!I had to argue on that!!ON WHAT BASIS???Why 4 months??
This is what we came up with ...
-----> The Soul moves in and out of the fetus right up until birth. After birth it is locked into the idea of the body until the death frees it from the idea of bondage .
----->Well it depends from religion to religion. Hindu's believe that the soul enters the womb at the time of baby showering (sreemantham)
----->In Islaam it is believed 90 days after conception, the soul enters the fetus.
------>When the heart has its first tick. From then on, the heart has to continue ticking; until death, when it stops doing so, for ever. Medical science is reported to be still researching for the 'cause' of the first movement of the heart.
------->the christians believe that the soul enters at the moment of conception.
-------->When the brain is formed

Well its like "What came first?Chicken or the egg???"Some questions just dont have answers....

if u have any views lemme kknow.

IS HIDING CONSIDERED AS LYING??

Is hiding considered as lying?? Recently when we were out at my hubbys friends place someone came up with this question...Ever since I cant take it out of my mind..And thats why am gonna post my views ..
The moment this question was raised my instincts told me that hiding is lying. I've been thinkin about it lately and the more I think ,the more I am convinced that I am right..
I feel the only difference between them is that one you are telling a lie and the other is living it. If you are hiding the truth, you are living a lie. .One is a lie of confession - the other a lie by omission - bottom line is both lies..
I think its morally wrong to lie but so is hiding the truth. Some of my hubbys friends(now mine too) disagreed with me because 'hiding the truth' is totally a different thing altogether.
But then again am just posting my views.. It is hard to say at what point something becomes a lie.If u have any views please do lemme know...

P.S :- I never said I dont lie or I never hide

REAL OR REEL....

Reality shows....I'd call it rather unrealistic..! Simply creating an illusion of reality.. Reality Shows have found their popularity in the past few years..

Abnormal "situations" are fabricated or scripted previously to create sensation among the viewers!!What I cannot digest is the viewers accept the drama and actually enjoy it!!!Everything, well almost everything is a fake!!They enjoy the cat fights and conflicts ,the back
stabbing and the demeaning behavior and not to mention the filthy language on screen[everything is pre-meditated of course] Where is the world going to???

Reality shows are as 'real' as you can get when you take 1 + days (depending on the show) and EDIT them down to 30 minutes to an hour...!!Now thats reality for you.. I think the only way to have a reality show is to hide a camera somewhere so no one knows what is going on. Any time people are in a room and they know there is a camera on them, they are going to act different. Turning on a camera changes the reality. They always are aware of the camera and want to be seen by the viewers to get maximum exposure..Wheres reality in that?

Reality shows can be misleading too.. Sometimes the audio and the videos from different situations are combined and edited and the whole situation is manhandled, manipulated to create drama and conflicts...Always the contestants in the confessionals say something to provoke a rivalry or "ignite the flame". Some participants of reality shows have also stated
afterwards that they altered their behavior to appear more crazy or emotional in order to get more camera time(Rakhi Sawant, Kashmira Shah)Contestants love to defame themselves to get attention..STAY IN THE NEWS FOR GOOD REASONS OR BAD is their motto..

Just to increase the TRP's & to generate advertising profits channels come up with wacky ideas!! Rakhi ka Swayamwar??? Big Boss,Mujhe is jungle se bachao... Now again does that ring a bell??They are not even original!!!

I must confess it does have its merits...Ordinary people can become celebrities too!!Some of the reality shows that involves bringing out new talents like the American/Indian idol helps in nurturing the new-found talents of commoners and overnight you are a celebrity!!!

Some have claimed that the success of reality television is due to its ability to satisfy the desire of viewers to see others humiliated. "Do we watch reality television for precious insight into the human condition .We watch for those awkward scenes that make us feel good about our own boring uninteresting lives.Human psychology... We find amusement in others humiliation. Am not talking about any reality show in particular..Generally they are all made up and fake and what disappoints me more is that viewers believe it and follow it up more than their own personal lives...! They sit wide eyed in front of their idiot-boxes with popcorn savoring every abuse, humiliation and disgusting challenges.Then again there are some humorous situations (pre-meditated???I dont know..)Some of the shows are not even for family viewing considering the language used (Splitsvilla, Mtv Roadies to name a few)

If you ask me...the movie "lord of the rings" is more real than reality tv :-)

From my Heart and Soul...

Finally !!! Now I can put in words my innermost feelings and perceptions!!What a way to vent out my frustration, depression & conviction!!Sometimes my postings might not make sense or might strike you as contradictory... but then again I write them in different states of mind(And remember, 'a girl can always change her mind, cant she??' )
Blogging is better than therapy... and cheaper too :) I've got lots to unload from my mind...So wait for it...Its gonna be soon....
