Okay i havent done ne revision at all and the hols gona end. i was at Arch's house the whole day today. Her family's a vegetarian indian and her mom was so awfully sweet. Her mom makes really lovely potato curries and thosai(Indian fried crispy pancakes) ..Arch is so lucky she's got such an amazing mum. My mom doesnt even know how to cook! we rollerbladed. Its been three years since the last time id rollerbladed so i started off a lil shaky at first but got the hang of it soon after. The key to it is confidence. once i had it, i could skate rather well. then we walked back to her home all tired, we watched the tv then went into her room to play with make-up sets. Eye-liners does make ur eyes look bigger. we played with gloss, mascara, eye shadow bla bla. Arch had a glow-in-the-dark nail polish with glitters and thats mega-cool. when i got home and tried to wipe the stuff off my eyes, they smeared on the corners and below. I looked like a satanist bitch with all that dark eye shadows smearing below my eyes. :
okay so i had loadsa fun and came home quite late at night. b4 10pm though. and i watched the news earlier and it is said that the death toll's gona reach to 60000. Its the saddest thing on earth. Serena called me earlier this morning and told me that her Sri Lankan ex-Maid had called em from italy whilst working there in a rather devastated tone. She had recently bought a beach house in Sri lanka by the beach obviously..with all her hard-earned money for all her daughters to live in. they're very poor. And currently serena's ex-maid doesnt know what to do cos she doesnt even noe what happened to her daughters, there was no way of contacting em since all the infrastructures were destroyed by the tsunami. She doesnt even know whether they're alive. But since they live by the beach and thats where almost everybody who were there died, im not so sure. I would have died crying losing my love ones and posssessions. I guess the only thing i could do is pray for those pple. Too much misery. If i were there watching all these sufferings, i would have fainted from depression. Its much too saddening. This just tells us how lucky we all are to still have our homes and families watching all these on our televisions. How can anyone be so self-obsessed and over-worrying over minor issues caring only for themselves when there are pple out there suffering from poverty and losing everything they have in the world. I think we should all be feeling lucky and happy and helpin others who need our help instead of drowning over self-related unimportant issues. Mayb someday id like to be a social worker and help as much pple as possible. If only there's a magical crystal ball to show the pple where to look for others who need serious help.
