Madhuisms

Bimbotic, witty and dadima-type of things I've let slip from my head or stolen or always say...

(Lali’s migraine is making her pukish and she is fighting it) Are u feeling better? You need to be distracted. Shall I sing to you?

The light at the end of the tunnel…might be an on-coming train.

Can I make you into a ball and carry you in my pocket wherever I go?

If anything can go wrong, it will, expect it….this is my life we’re talking about.

There is something to learn from everyone. Even your 3 year old neighbor. Even if you’re the chairman of Mensa. The only smart people are the ones who understand this.

Don’t bother arguing with know-it-all self-centered men. Shut up, smile, and leave them for the bimbos.

Fishah: Don’t worry Mad, there are many fish in the pond.
M: But there is only one goldfish!

To my brother: Humans are flawed. But if you use that excuse to cut your principles some slack- you’re flawed before you even tried. I am idealistic, and knowing full well that it’s unrealistic, I’d like to stay that way to be the best I can.

The delight is in the discovery.

The only reason you’re talking to me is cos you like my hair.

Guess what? I think.

Dips I know I whine cos things keep going wrong and never do look up, but I never stop trying again and again and again.

I’m your best friend, if I don’t understand then who will?

All my life I wanted to be someone. Now I realize I should’ve been more specific.

Before yelling at someone, think about whether their intentions were in the right place.

I want to get out of this country...But I know no place will sing to me the way home does.

You cant go to the loo until you tell me the password.

Feb 07: After 25, it’s all downhill. I am not going to get quicker, prettier, thinner, or more energetic. Life is now now now.

It’s not the waitress’s fault the cook takes a long time to make your dish. You have a right to complain, but no one needs your attitude.

Say, hail priceline?

If you go out with the cute guy who yells at the waiter—you deserve him.

Vig, if only you’d marry me dowry-less, I wouldn’t have to date such ridiculous men…Can I have a discount?

If he likes you, he will call. Everything else is an excuse.

Vig, those who matter wont leave yr life and those who leave dont matter.

At work: They pretend to that you’re overworked or underpaid until you open your mouth and say it. And say it loud.

At least 10% of clients and projects are from hell. Always.

Your strengths are so easy you think everyone can do them. They can’t!

Delegate your weaknesses. If you can’t, ask for advice and help!

Only promise something you’re 200% sure of….100% surety isn’t enough.

The secretary is not your slave. You’re not the only busy one. Book your own family holidays, redeem your own coffee coupons.

I do not want to be the prize in some competition for your ego.

Spare me the “let’s be friends” bit. It’s all or nothing.

Who says Singapore’s concrete creativity, cleanliness and man-made gardens don’t count as beauty. I think they’re beautiful in the fact that they have been labored over by several people. Someone planned this, someone implemented it, and someone maintains it. Nature has been granted to us, but what the human mind and hands can create is beautiful too.

If I was bald, would you still talk to me?
