The project this time around was a bbq…The challenge, starting a fire and getting some meat cooked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We decided on Thursday there was going to be a bbq, I said I will do the food preparation and needed her to start the fire because I know I cant. And when Saturday came, we found out that we both had google-ed “BBq” …me for marinade recipes and she for “how to start a fire”…It was amusing but we succeeded…but not without burning ourselves at some point and dropping some food into the grill :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end, with the fanning help of Rangee..we had some “cooked” chicken marinated in a soy sauce mix, pork in beer and honey sausages…It was a decent meal with some corn in a pot, stir fried veggies, mushrooms, Cherrie tomatoes and baked potatoes and an interesting attempt at sangria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sha also proved a sport by getting over the pork issue…ahhaha…teaches me to speak better English when clarifying food preferences, “do u have pork issues?” is different from “do u eat pork?” :P my bad&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and sha made chocolate bananas with marshmallows yummmmmmm….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you Nal, Tirath, May and Hong for coming by J it was good fun and great company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sha, this is one of the few occasions we have spent alone since highschool…and eventhough I realize that over the years we have remained close, but it was on Saturday that I realize how much we have both changed, grown…and it’s interesting. We both have become different people, more prominent identities….none of us are like how we were in school.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32107922-116521511685004358?l=lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com/feeds/116521511685004358/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32107922&amp;postID=116521511685004358' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32107922/posts/default/116521511685004358'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32107922/posts/default/116521511685004358'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com/2006/12/art-of-bbq-ing.html' title='The Art of BBQ-ing'/><author><name>Lalitha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12507674763897623982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32107922.post-116434102220925929</id><published>2006-11-23T19:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-23T20:04:08.423-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Malaysian Eye, 20-20 vision..or not</title><content type='html'>Rm30 million is going to be spent on “the Malaysian Eye”…the what? Exactly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Malaysian Eye is a project (if I can call it that, more like a ruse) under the Visit Malaysia Year 2007 (wonder who’s brilliant idea it was and who the contractor will be) It is suppose to be like the London Eye (very original), a ferries wheel ride that will give you a view of KL. It will be setup in Titiwangsa and is suppose to have air-conditioned carriages that fit 8 people. Seriously how long do you think it will be well maintained for? I foresee vandalism and bad smelling carriages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do we really need this? No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We already have the Twin Towers Sky Bridge and the KL tower for those looking for a great view. Not to mention the many bukit’s and buildings you can get the view from…but really is there really that much to see? With the rain and haze, how many clear days to we have in a year??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My suggestion on how to entice tourist for Visit Malaysia Year 2007:&lt;br /&gt;1) fill in the potholes and sinkholes that have become worse due to the rain&lt;br /&gt;2) improve traffic conditions&lt;br /&gt;3) rehabilitate natures attractions like the waterfalls, beaches and campsites&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We should make it a rule that every time the government wants to spend a large sum of money, they should get pubic feedback and make all matters pertaining to the project transparent. After all, its tax payer’s ringgit that is being spent and it is us who will have to endure potholes, bad traffic, crime and low standards of living in exchange for some fancy- schmancy project that will not benefit us.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32107922-116434102220925929?l=lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com/feeds/116434102220925929/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32107922&amp;postID=116434102220925929' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32107922/posts/default/116434102220925929'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32107922/posts/default/116434102220925929'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com/2006/11/malaysian-eye-20-20-visionor-not.html' title='Malaysian Eye, 20-20 vision..or not'/><author><name>Lalitha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12507674763897623982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32107922.post-116409808401170651</id><published>2006-11-21T00:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-21T00:34:44.023-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hormone Levels/ Age = Level of Sincerity</title><content type='html'>I was at MPH yesterday and an article in one of the women’s magazines caught my eye. “What men in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s look for” …essentially, they all go for “butt, boobs and body” which is slightly disturbing, where did personality, poise and persona go?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I read on I realize guys in their 20’s are the most dangerous. All they seem to be after is a good looking girl to show off and sex. The article goes on to say as men grow older they slow down then other things start to matter. Hmmm…wonder if that is true. What is it with men and their fascination with Barbie? Generally, it’s the slim girls with long hair that tickles their fancy. But why is it women make such an effort to attract and please men by going through such painful antics like diets, slimming programs, surgery etc just to entice these creatures? How many guys actually bother?? Body odor, unsightly aspects of the human anatomy yet they expect nothing less then perfection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now as a girl in my 20’s, I’m concerned. I do have several guy friends and as my buddies, I do know what they are looking for in a girl. Most of them are looking for companionship above all else their intentions are good, but when they check out girls, their comments are nothing short of plain mean and insulting. I know what is said about me too, my colleagues remind me every day, they feel the need to be honest so it seems. But whats wrong with me?? Can’t I be loved and appreciated just the way I am? If I was 5’8, measured 36, 24, 26 and had long cascading hair would you still know me as me or me as my looks? would you have taken the chance to know me before deciding?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flipping through the papers today, I read a news report about a lady suing her ex boyfriend of 4 years for misleading her and causing her shame and mental anguish. Apparently she had sex with him 31 times in the past 4 years, believing that he loved her and planned to marry her (in the Indian community you must remain a virgin till you marry and if you are not, well your future husband might not accept you, hypocrisy if you ask me). Anyways, his reply is that she was “just a friend”. He never said he loved her, much less he wanted to marry her and he had sex with her cause she wanted to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So basically, he played her... how do u as a lady know if his intentions are sincere? It might be easier to get a guy if you are 5’8, measuring 36, 24, 36 but something tells me the game is still the same.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32107922-116409808401170651?l=lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com/feeds/116409808401170651/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32107922&amp;postID=116409808401170651' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32107922/posts/default/116409808401170651'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32107922/posts/default/116409808401170651'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com/2006/11/hormone-levels-age-level-of-sincerity.html' title='Hormone Levels/ Age = Level of Sincerity'/><author><name>Lalitha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12507674763897623982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32107922.post-116409382301554500</id><published>2006-11-20T22:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-20T23:23:43.026-08:00</updated><title type='text'>When shit hits the fan...u get colored walls</title><content type='html'>When shit hits the fan...a bad situation could actually work out for the best...shit happens for  a reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example: One of my good friends got into a very bad car accident some months back, at that time the car was a wreck and her face was badly cut from the glass and was admitted to hospital for a few days and she had to take off work for a while. At least 6 months later, she is looking pretty damn good, better then before if I might say. The scars have healed, she got her eyebrows done(the accident kinda ruined it) she got a new hair do and in the process she gained a car. But one more thing im waiting to see is how her relationship with her boyfriend will work out. He was the driver of the car and in those months they got much closer as he and his family cared for her. But due to some unforeseen reasons, they are now on “a break”….something tells me that its gona work out. And if it does, I would say the accident brought them closer..and somehow improved their lives in the long run.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another example is a friend of mine, at the age of 27 he started loosing his hair (due to stress he says) but I think it’s a good thing cause the look really suites him. Besides, after hearing the plans he has for his half bald head, its scary to think what he would do with a full head of hair!!

being supportive, understanding, trusting/trustable...? let me know...i got to run its gona storm and i just wased my hair this morning! :) Did i mention my hair is orange! hehehe....but i kinda like it, ads character :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32107922-116194054848235039?l=lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com/feeds/116194054848235039/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32107922&amp;postID=116194054848235039' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32107922/posts/default/116194054848235039'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32107922/posts/default/116194054848235039'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com/2006/10/on-subject-love.html' title='On the Subject Love....'/><author><name>Lalitha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12507674763897623982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32107922.post-116116173203284736</id><published>2006-10-18T01:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-18T01:55:32.966-07:00</updated><title type='text'>To my Friends</title><content type='html'>I dedicate this song to my friends, namely Sha, Cheryl, Nal, May &amp; Emc (in no specific order).....

What more with the music so loud in the bakery. So I walked fast, skipped a little...toward the door and BAM**! Right smack into the glass sliding door that evidently wasn’t as anxious as I was....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Very very embarrassing....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My head realllyyy hurt...and i answered the phone with a big "OUCH**** then explain to boss why I was in pain....he was very concerned....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was hilarious...of course my colleagues laughed at me, being the sensitive guys that they are....and i have yet to go back to the bakery...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yet another Bridget Jones moment by me J&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32107922-116099307305271170?l=lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com/feeds/116099307305271170/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32107922&amp;postID=116099307305271170' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32107922/posts/default/116099307305271170'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32107922/posts/default/116099307305271170'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com/2006/10/glass-ceiling-and-its-effect-on-women.html' title='The Glass Ceiling and its Effect on Women'/><author><name>Lalitha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12507674763897623982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32107922.post-116099212372713327</id><published>2006-10-16T01:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-26T00:06:43.743-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Flaws of the Human Brain..mine to be exact</title><content type='html'>Apologies to my friends for not updating my blog... I forgot my username :P hahah but I remembered my password....ironic being the user name is my name :) oh well....typical of me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This festive season will mark 2 years (am i rite?) of single hood...i decided its time to change that. Its time to begin the search for Mr. PerfectForMe....Time to live a little, I'm not going to live forever....key word is "suitable" and not just any pretty Joe or sweet mouth. But I seem to be unsuccessful. Is something wrong with me? does it say "DANGER - Stay Away” on my forehead?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To give you an idea of my failure so far, let me tell you a story of 2 cookies: -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I met a burnt cookie a year ago.. he is quite a few years older then myself (in this case, age isn’t the obstacle).... tall, dark and handsome (subjective) ....I enjoy conversations with him very much; he is smart &amp; knowledgeable...when in doubt, I trust he can help me, i guess i look up to him in that way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there is the cookie dough, he is sweet, i guess its innocence but he has a lot to learn &amp;amp; experience in life... went out a few times...found him a lil "duh" lacking in the gentleman department, possibly a lil shy too....don’t know if there is/was something there....don’t know if I want to pursue.....hard to say...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now...which is better...a burnt cookie or cookie dough? What i can tell you is the burnt cookie looks good and smells fantastic....with its chocolate chips and nice golden brown color...but its a lil burnt round the edges....might taste a lil ekkie....as for the dough, you can mold it and watch it bake...but you wont quite know how its gona turn out....OH WELL...anyone has a perfect cookie?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7297/3502/320/cookie_desktop.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32107922-116099212372713327?l=lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com/feeds/116099212372713327/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32107922&amp;postID=116099212372713327' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32107922/posts/default/116099212372713327'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32107922/posts/default/116099212372713327'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com/2006/10/flaws-of-human-brainmine-to-be-exact.html' title='Flaws of the Human Brain..mine to be exact'/><author><name>Lalitha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12507674763897623982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32107922.post-115649572643247773</id><published>2006-08-25T01:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-25T01:52:36.256-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Reward for Missing Man</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;Have you seen him?

(i remember several ocassions when francis, boss and i would go out and discuss work over some drinks) then came jimmy, bryan, abraham and now rajesh...and a few more ladies...the company has grown.. things are different ....its a raving party!  i have become fond of a certain few, they make my day in the office brighter...but i know that this probably wont go on very long...in time they or i might change career paths...etc etc...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) the most obvious change that i have noted and i regret is highschool and uni...i was so busy anticipating growing up that i didint quite stop to realise those were the best days!seeing my best friends everyday, playful games, parties, gossip,  etc.... now Cheryl and Nal are in aussie, May is married, Sha is in Kepong and emc is travelling the country...all on differnt paths...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All i have is here and now....i dont know what tmrw will bring...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32107922-115615305047431110?l=lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com/feeds/115615305047431110/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32107922&amp;postID=115615305047431110' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32107922/posts/default/115615305047431110'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32107922/posts/default/115615305047431110'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com/2006/08/change-is-inevitable.html' title='Change is Inevitable'/><author><name>Lalitha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12507674763897623982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32107922.post-115580006368747738</id><published>2006-08-17T00:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-17T00:40:32.756-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Untouchables</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;Why is it so many people feel they are not susceptible to illness or bad faith?&lt;br /&gt;Why do we live life taking unnecessary risks ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is my illustration of 2 good friends of mine...naive...&lt;br /&gt;I hope for your sake you are right....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7297/3502/320/the%20blonde%27s.1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32107922-115580006368747738?l=lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com/feeds/115580006368747738/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32107922&amp;postID=115580006368747738' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32107922/posts/default/115580006368747738'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32107922/posts/default/115580006368747738'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com/2006/08/untouchables.html' title='The Untouchables'/><author><name>Lalitha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12507674763897623982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32107922.post-115570325421889069</id><published>2006-08-15T21:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-16T00:45:14.743-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Of God &amp; Relion</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An atheist I am not....i have no doubts about god... just religion...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;When it comes to religion, i just cant comprehend &amp; abide. I have so many questions, so many doubts. Some religions are based on epic tales and mystical characters...its hard to base my faith on that...magical powers... (could it be someone misconstrued this story a long time ago..or could it be the efforts of a saint has become more then it was down the grapevine?) or could it be me asking too many questions...don’t you?Next question is why are certain rules in place? Some don’t quite fit the times we are in...Some I don’t understand how it affects us in anyway?? Why does it matter what we eat or what we touch or if you listen to rock music??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another concern is why do people police religion.. so what if you don’t follow, religion is a personal choice. Its  a private relationship between the maker and you...why do people feel the need to force &amp; pressure?? We are meant to be abide willingly ... not out of fear. Also i cant stand it when people are hypocritical...they say they cant do 1,2,3 and 4...but they will make an exception for 5 and 6...what is that about??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m not pious, i don’t conform to any one religion at the moment...yet i do not judge those who do. There is one god...he comes in many forms for different people and its a personal choice. Its important to believe in god, to have a relationship and carry it with you all the time, for it gives us faith and helps us get thru the day be it a good or bad day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To me god has no face, no name but god exists and he watches over us.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32107922-115570325421889069?l=lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com/feeds/115570325421889069/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32107922&amp;postID=115570325421889069' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32107922/posts/default/115570325421889069'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32107922/posts/default/115570325421889069'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lalitha-rambles.blogspot.com/2006/08/of-god-relion.html' title='Of God &amp; Relion'/><author><name>Lalitha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12507674763897623982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32107922.post-115554325174426643</id><published>2006-08-14T00:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-14T01:20:19.430-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Questions...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Am i a grumpy snob?

I must say I was captivated! I really liked how they left vast open spaces of greenery untouched, made it a point to emphasize nature with the lakes, park, water features, big windows etc...and what I liked the most is how they retained the old buildings...amazing...simply amazing! I salute the visionary..cause his vision to some might have been crazy, so close to the city and they didn’t go all crazy by building on every square inch...amazing...truely lifestyle a development...i also liked the KL PAC building...i could live there...wish our office was like that....and the koi farm?? ok it doesn’t quite fit the rest of the development which is pretty much colonial meets modern... (Maybe it fits with the Japanese occupation??) I don’t know...but its preety...and the koi's are huge!! It’s as long as my arm!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- wana buy property in Sentul?

(they plan to tie the knot next year..Woohoo!) Congratulations...!
