So Diwali has come and gone. Unfortunately, the weight we have gained has not.
Just in case any of you were wondering what “Diwali” means, it’s from the Sanskrit and it translates to “Festival of Carbohydrates”.
What’s the difference between “Deepavali” and “Diwali”, you may ask.
Simple – “Deepavali” means “Day of Obesity”, while “Diwali” means “Festival of Carbohydrates”.
Both terms are related to the occasion and hence, interchangeable.

I got into a minor scrape while on my way to Holland Village for dinner last night.
It was raining but I was doing my thing i.e. being safe.
However, this hmstrfckr of a driver came along and nearly sideswiped me after the right turn from Farrer Road into Holland Road.
As a reflex action, I jammed on the brakes but Le Poots skidded and I took a tumble.
(Yes, I know I could’ve corrected the skid but hindsight is always 20/20.)
Anyway, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. I took the impact of the fall on my left side so I have contusions/abrasions on my elbow and left leg.
My phone bore the brunt of it though:
Guess Gorilla Glass ain’t as strong as Titanium huh.
Anyway, I picked myself up, dusted myself and my bruised body/ego off and continued on to dinner.
It was only after dinner that I realised Pooters was missing a cylindrical plate.
I was, like: do I go look for it? Do I just send Pooters to the mechanic and ask him to order a new part for it?
On a whim, I thought: OK, I’ll just sweep the area and if I find the plate, I find it; if I don’t, I don’t.
I found it!

My favourite quote of the day: “What does she have to bring to the table?”
Not in the context of the link I provided because there was a lot of male bitterness/female bashing going on there.
But more of a reminder to myself not to settle for less – even if that someone was the benchmark to begin with.
