My precious... ice cube!!!

Having a habit of waking up in the middle of the night to drink water and staggering half-blind in the dark to the tap in the kitchen and almost drowning to quench the thirst is not something we are not used to. But having an urge to put that tasteful, glistening, beautifully transparent little cube into every single liquid that touches your mouth is a bit of a problem when having a midnight drink.

This was the seemingly humongous problem I encountered at midnight this Saturday. My newest addiction of the sweet and sour little water cubes gave me some quests to conquer during those two days.

My belated birthday treat followed by the fun time I spent at my friend's house was quest No.1. It was raining and cold, and when I asked for some iced tea with actual ice cubes I got some weird looks followed by comments about being a weirdo from my friends. But I had to keep my lovely ice cubes and my love for them, a secret. So I strengthened my mind to the comments about my mentality and sanity and drank the peach ice tea with my loves in it and ended up shivering.

And then the quest No.2 came up at the middle of the night to prove my love for the gorgeous ice cube.I harshly opened my light-less refrigerator, and groped around in the biting cold for my love, grabbed it and put some into the water and gently put the ice tray back and banged the fridge door close. So ended my quest No.2.

When I woke up in the cold morning of Sunday thinking of drinking some hot Ceylon tea I remembered my love, and then after chastising myself for forgetting my current inhuman obsession I filled up my cup of cola and drank with some lovely ice cubes. And so during the day I had to live with ice cola, ice water and sometimes just ice with all my heaters on.

Because of my secret obsession that existed for 24 hours, I put up with the beautiful ice cube and ate it, drank it, chewed it and even kept it in my mouth (as an experiment of seeing how long it takes to melt it). Then I had to part with my precious ice cube this noon and took the first gulps of normal water at the fountain. So my current love has been transferred to normal water from the ice cubes, as it had always been. So I guess it is true that you never forget your first love.

My firsts'


My first book.. i don't remember the first book i read.. but i remember reading archie comics live crazy when i was 13 or 14.. and then transferred all my reading ability to goosebumps, fear street, Jurassic park and sydney sheldon books, Harry Potter,Meg Cabot books and Lord of the rings . My fave books so far are 'Jurrasic park' and Lord of the rings.. haven't found anything to top those, not even Harry Potter.

I don't think anyone remembers their first movie.. i have a bad memory of those stuff.. my sister, since she's older always watched the 'mature' movies (she was only 2 years older.. oh well) and i snuck into watch them with her or irritated her until she promised me to give the movie to watch before slamming the door on my face. My fave movies are Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the black pearl. I like the sequels but the first is the best. The Lord of the rings trilogy is my favorite movie, and also 'Star Wars'. My parents took me to watch Jurrasic Park when I was 7 or 8 and had to leave the theater because I was terrified and had started to cry.

I didn't get into anime until I has 16.. I found a friend in a forum who read those things.. the younger dude told me he watched naruto and that it was cool. So to find something to do instead of studying for the exams and also to irritate mom i started to watch naruto and got hooked into it.. then after that it was browsing manga and anime and watching them. I like mangas better than anime. My fave mangas are 'Death Note', 'Naruto', (I'm hoping Itachi will miraculously come back to life), '07-Ghost' (good story line), D-grayman (so cool!) , and 'One Piece' (since it's SOOO much better than naruto and bleach)

I have to get back into the reading rave again.. I probably will when I go home and raid my mom's library.. can't go into dad's because.. actually he doesn't have anything interesting.. what a boring dad... geez

Home sweet home

My dream place to live in is Sri Lanka. Being my home country I know it the best and all my relatives and friends live there too. It's a bit boring and lonely here since I don't have my parents. Sri Lanka is really beautiful and nice, there's no winter and I hate winter and also Sri Lanka is enough for me.

There's lots of places to go for holidays and there's city life and also the country life for whatever preference people have. If anyone wants a cold climate 'Nuwaraeliya' is the perfect place since it's always cold and winter-y there.

But I'll probably live here for a while doing a job and then go to Sri Lanka. Money is worth a lot too :P

is one week even enough?????

The picture is the 'Sigiriya' mountain in Sri Lanka.

Okay.. first of all I am past my deadline for this blog.. and I have to apologize because i severely overslept..kinda.. I slept.. woke up and slept again because the bed was so comfy..


If I had one week to live.. first thing I would do is book a plane ticket (without thinking of the $2000 something price tag) home. Then I would go home and eat and sleep my way through jet lag.. which will take one or two days. Then for the remaining five days I will go on a trip around Sri Lanka with my friends, and I will drag every single one of them with me. I'm dying so I can be selfish for the last week of my life right?

I want to go around the world, but I think one week isn't enough to see the beauty of this world and I will die regretting the fact that I went to see the world but didn't have enough time to see everything.

Even though I'm from Sri Lanka there are loads of places I haven't seen and am dying to. Because of the war the regions the terrorists were in were closed off until this year when the land mines had been cleared off. The whole north side of the country was closed off for anyone who wasn't from there, and even people from the north didn't want to go and die in a bomb blast.

There's Trincomalee, a naturally made port for ships, as I've been told and the 'Nilavaly Beach' there is said to be the most beautiful beach in the world. There also 'Arugambe', it's a bay on the eastern side of the country and is really beautiful. We went there once but didn't get to stay long.

I want to go see 'Yapahuwa', it's one the last Sinhalese King's palaces and I want to climb the 1000 something stairs again. The view when you climb up is really gorgeous. I went there on my school trip once. You could actually sit on the throne! Or what's left of it anyways.

I want to climb 'Sigiriya' again too. It's a rock that shaped like a lion, which I fail to see no matter how many times I see it. But at the foot of the rock mountain the huge thing has two enormous carved paws and the stairs lead straight to the rock carved like the mouth of the lion.. it's super cool!

And most of all... I want to eat my mom's cooking again. Her 'buriyani', a sort of fried rice in Sri Lanka, and homemade chocolate cake are the best in the world! I miss it so much. And on the last day I want my dad to make his barbeque again, even if he keeps over cooking the meat it tastes good. And I'm going to scavenge my telescope and watch the moon, because I couldn't do it the last time.

And this is the list of things to do in my last week among the living.. then say hello to the ghost of me!

I know what you're thinking!!!!

If I had a superpower it would totally be mind reading. I know it's creepy and it violates human rights and stuff.. It's not like I'm going to be using it always.. maybe during an exam I'll use the power to get the answers from the brainiest kid in class or something (It won't be my fault if the kid wasn't thinking about the exam at all!! I think..) But most of all I want to know who is lying to me and who is not.

I've been having trust issues for a while and I know that a lot of people do. But it's getting really annoying when you can't even trust your own friends. I think I'm getting paranoid too, but most of the time my paranoia turns out to be actually true so I stick with it.

But I guess mind reading is a power most people feels disgusted or annoyed with. I know I wouldn't want to hang around someone if I knew that person is going to read my mind. Oh well I guess that makes me contradict myself but I would love to have that power. It'd be so awesome! :P
