Tamil Songs

• Just wanted to share with you guys, I've been going crazy over these 2 songs since quite some time. Both of the songs are in Tamil and the 1st one is from the movie "Anna Nagar Mudhal Theru- Medhuva Medhuva". This movie was released on 14th January 1988. It's kinda very old & touching movie though. Starring Sathyaraj, Radha, Prabu and Ambika. Music Director by Chandrabose.
• The 2nd one is from the movie "Masilamani- Dora Dora". Music by D.Imman, honestly fantastically superb. It reminds me of few memories. Hehe. Acted by Nakul & Sunaina. Movie released on 17th June 2009. Very nice music.

Enjoy!!!

Roasted Chili Rub Chicken

Ingredients:

(Step 1)

1 tbsp Brown Sugar

1½ tbsp Chilli Powder

1-1½ tbsp Olive Oil

Salt & Pepper

2 tbsp fresh Thyme

Unsalted Butter

2 tbsp Dijon mustard

(Step 2)

3 Rosemary

3-4 cloves of garlic.

Method:

Baste all the ingredients onto the chicken as in Step 1 & insert rosemary into the chicken & also few cloves of garlic to add fragrance in Step 2.

Preheat the oven to 260°C. Rinse the chicken inside and out with cold water, then dry it very well with paper towels, inside and out. The less it steams, the drier the heat, the better.

Salt and pepper the cavity, then truss the bird. Trussing is not difficult, and if you roast chicken often, it's a good technique to feel comfortable with. Well in the beginning I had some trouble to truss the bird but after some time I had a hold of the bird. When you truss a bird, the wings and legs stay close to the body; the ends of the drumsticks cover the top of the breast and keep it from drying out. Trussing helps the chicken to cook evenly, and it also makes for a more beautiful roasted bird.

Now, salt the chicken. I like to rain the salt over the bird so that it has a nice uniform coating that will result in a crisp, salty, flavorful skin (about 1 tablespoon). When it's cooked, you should still be able to make out the salt baked onto the crisp skin. Season to taste with pepper.

Place the chicken in a saute pan or roasting pan and I add butter as in cubes around the chicken. You also can add in onions, potatoes, carrots and celery if you wish. When the oven is up to temperature, put the chicken in the oven. Roast it until an instant crisp colour, use a fork or any sharp object to check whether the chicken is cooked. The whole process is about 40 - 50 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and to the plate. Baste the chicken with the juices and let it rest for 15 minutes on a cutting board.

Tip: Pour all the juices from the tray into a sauce pan & heat it in slow heat. Add in few small cubes of unsalted butter and stir evenly. While stirring, add in corn flour and dissolve it with water in a cup and pour it little by little. You don't want your sauce to turn too thick. Add in salt & pepper to taste. 

And Serve.

Freshwater Rod & Reel

When it comes to the word "Fishing" what do you actually know?? Some may say fishing is actually catching fish. Some it's called recreational fishing. Recreational and sport fishing describes fishing for pleasure or competition.

I wouldn't say I've been fishing since I had my memory..hehe but I've been fishing at the age of 4. First, started to follow my dad & my uncle's to fishing spots & picnics... At that time, all I ever did was sit on a mat & eat junkies or biscuits in the middle of the jungle. I knew fishing has something to do with the water & the fish, but I never knew fishes eats the bait n the process goes on..

Owh well, lets get back to the topic. Hehe.. I've loved fishing equipments alot. And what I mean alot is from tackle which consists of rods, reels and travel kits. Lures and lines are in too, sure ain't forgetting that. Additional accessories are optional though.

I love Daiwa's rods and reels because it's like the most perfect quality assured equipments and it is also one of the best brands in the world. It's hard to find Daiwa's stuff here in Malaysia but if your a die-hard angler, most people say "when there's a will, there's a way". Daiwa's first spinning reel rolled off the assembly line in 1955. Since then, the company has grown into one of the largest and most influential tackle companies in the world today. Well it's about 54 years of experience they have on tackles. From the very beginning, Daiwa's emphasis has been upon innovation and quality. The result is a long list of product features, design and materials that have become standards for the fishing tackle industry. It is a long-standing record of innovation, the type of innovation that has left a visible mark on the majority of tackle manufactured today, innovation that continues to advance the sport of fishing.

There's a few main fishing style actually. Freshwater fishing, Offshore fishing, Inshore fishing, Surf & Jetty fishing and Fly fishing. Different style of fishing requires different type of rods and reels. You can't use the same rod for all the events. You definitely wouldn't wanna be called a "wierdo" or "estate" in our language. Hehehe.

Final Letter

To;

          You

All the words you said to me,
That seemed to be so true.
Were nothing but thoughtless lies,
That I thought would never come from you.

They seemed so real and seemed so true.
I was beginning to think
That I was in love with you.

But I should of known it was all an act, 

That I was just another part.
Just another guy to add 

To your list of broken hearts.

I wonder why I still think about you, 

After all your lies and sweet talking words.
I think its because you made me feel 

Like I was your special guy.

I thought I was, I thought you cared, and that I was the only one. 

But all you wanted to have was just fun of breaking my heart.

I could never be with you
After what I knew.
You never had time for me... 

Thats what this is mostly all about.

I'm not telling you exactly what I know.
You can deny it all you want,
But i'm deciding to let you go.

But I will never forget you not matter how hard I try.

Cause you were a part of my life before.
I will always remember you in my years to come
Until my eternal good-bye.

Wishing you all the best & good luck in your wonderful life.

Memories are the best souvenirs,

and never be sad for what is over,
just be glad that it was once yours.

From;

                Me

Collection of Broken Heart Quotes

A few collections of some quotes which I would like to share..

Don't Cry Over Someone That Won't Cry Over You

No Girl Is Worth Your Tears & When You Find The One That Is She Won't Make You Cry

If You Really Love Something Set It Free.
If It Comes Back It's Yours, If Not It Wasn't Meant To Be

Some Day You'll Cry For Me Like I Cried For You,
Some Day You'll Miss Me Like I Missed You,
Some Day You'll Need Me Like I Needed You,
Some Day You'll Love Me But I Won't Love You.

Time will make you forget me but time will make me love you more than before.

If I never met you,

I wouldn't like you.

If I didn't like you,

I wouldn't love you.
If I didn't love you

I wouldn't miss you,

but I did, I do and I will.

Forget who hurt you yesterday,
But don't forget who loves you tenderly today.

Love can make you happy but often times it hurts,
but love is only special when you give it to who its worth.

The hardest part of loving someone is knowing when to let go,
and knowing when to say goodbye.

The day you finally decide to love me will be the day
after the day I have given up on chasing you.

Moving on is simple,
it's what you leave behind that makes it so difficult.

Should I hate you because you hurt me?
Or should I love you because you made me feel special?

Money can't mend a broken heart;
that's Love's job,

and you can't get that job.

I was born the day you kissed me,
died the day you left me,
but lived for the time that you loved me.

One day you will seek love
and be sorry that you threw mine away.

Now that I have loved so purely and deeply,
I have realized how lonely I really am.

Don't ever give up if you still want to try,
Don't ever wipe your tears if you still want to cry.
Don't ever settle for an answer if you still want to know.
Don't ever say you don't love him if you can't let him go.

You said you didn't want to see me get hurt,
so does that mean you closed your eyes when I cried?

Ways to Rekindle Long-Term Relationship

Well I was going through some articles on the net and I found this very interesting page about Rekindling Relationships. I read it and I felt it would be great if I could share it with you guys. A healthy long-term relationship is something to be proud of, and couples need to celebrate that.

Make it clear to family and friends and especially to each other that your relationship as a couple is the most important relationship in your life.

Don’t Take Your Long-Term Relationship for Granted

"The mistake most couples or one person makes is they're so much in love with their partner that they assume the relationship will last forever," says Robert Billingham, an associate professor in Indiana University Bloomington's Department of Applied Health Science. "They don't think it is something they have to work on."

From a biological standpoint, human beings are not built for long-term romance, according to Billingham, whose research interests include interpersonal relationships, parent/child interactions and the long-term effect of divorce on children.

Biologically, the body chemistry that makes our hearts flutter during a new relationship is replaced after several years with body chemistry geared more toward attachment, he says.

Couples, therefore, need to work at keeping romance alive in long-term relationships.

Make Time for Romance…It’s Good for Your Health

Billingham says research indicates that people who divorce experience poorer health and a diminished quality of life, so longevity and overall happiness are additional reasons for keeping romance alive with the right partner.

Finding time for romance is crucial to a marriage or committed long-term relationship, and it shouldn't be limited to anniversaries, Valentine's Day or other special occasions.

5 Tips for Rekindling Romance in Your Long-Term Relationship
Billingham offers the following tips for couples who want to rekindle the romance and improve a long-term relationship:

1. Date Your Spouse or Partner
   Find ways to spend time together and enjoy each other.
   
   
   
   "Individuals change. The relationship changes," Billingham says. "This core behavior (regular dating, emphasizing the relationship) says, 'No matter what happens, we find time for ourselves, find time to celebrate the relationship.’"
   
   
   
   
2. Make Sure Your Children See Your Love for Each Other
   Parents spend 18 to 20 years preparing their children to leave home, and parenting requires sacrifices to properly care for children. But investments in a long-term relationship as a couple can benefit parents and kids alike, and make the "empty nest" seem not quite so empty after the children leave home.
   
   "If the kids don't see an emphasis on the relationship, what we model is that the marriage isn't as important as work, sports or other activities, Billingham says. “When they do see the emphasis, what we're modeling is that the marriage, the committed relationship is important.
   
   “[Emphasizing the long-term relationship] is crucial because we need to teach our children that our relationships are more important than things like work, movies and sports. We do a very poor job of this in our society."
   
   
   
   
3. Start Today
   It's never too late to rekindle love and romance in a stale long-term relationship, Billingham says. Start from where you are, and begin doing things together that emphasize and celebrate your relationship as a couple.
4. Should You Quit or Recommit?
   Obviously, rekindling romance is much more difficult if one of the partners has fallen in love with someone else and is experiencing a new surge of attraction hormones that is pulling them away from their core relationship. It really comes down to conscious choice and commitment. If both people in the relationship can honestly say "I want to get this back on track," then there's hope.
   
   
5. Sex and Romance
   Sex and romance can make life and your long-term relationship as a couple more pleasant and rewarding. Couples who are healthy, and who can sustain an active sex life, tend to live longer and be happier, Billingham says.

Collection of Love Quotes

Everybody have something to say about love. Either love this or love that. Be it cynical, meaningful, sad, cute or funny and the beloved list goes on. Some quotes may inspire and strengthen your belief about love while other quotes can be treated as cute jokes that reflect the unpleasant parts of your love. 

my lost love quotes:

Even if she doesn't like me tomorrow,
I knew she loved me yesterday.

They say no matter how dark the night is,
the sun always rises again ...
I say lost love makes one realize that
no matter how bright the day is,
the sun will always set again.

Love is strong yet delicate.
It can be broken.
To truly love is to understand this.
To be in love is to respect this.

To love and win is the best thing.
To love and lose, the next best.

Harsh words break no bones but they do break hearts.

What is the point of life if you are
not spending it with someone you love?

Deep in my heart, I'm suffering, knowing that I've lost you.
On the outside, I'm living, pretending that I've forgotten you.

Everytime I think of you, I'm sad.
Everytime I hear you're name, I'm mad.

But everytime I think of how you made me feel, I'm glad.

Some say it is a sin to love,
I never did ask why,
But, if I sin in loving you,
I'll sin until I die!

If I knew missing you was going to be a part of my life,
I never would have let you in.

No matter how much it'll hurt me to see you,
my most loved lost one,
all that I wish is look into your eyes once again.

Losing you is like losing my heart.

It's a horrible thing to see your lost love walk past you with another guy,
and it's the worst thing to know that you made a mistake in letting her go.

I thought that by telling myself and everyone else that I hated you.
That sooner or later I would come to believe it.
But I now realize that by lying,
it makes me want you even more.

Once you find someone you really love
try your hardest not to lose them,
because you will never get over
the feeling of loneliness.

The biggest mistake in my life that I
have ever done was to let you go.
And, I realize that if you come back to me,
I would never leave you again. I Promise You.

I spent last night dreaming of your eyes
But your hair kept getting in the way
Your lips dropped in to tell me how you'd been
But when I tried to kiss them
My pillow told me I missed them.
I Miss You.

The hardest thing I've done is acting like i hate you,
When really i love you more than you will ever know.

I wanna be remembered as the guy who always smiled.
the one who could always brighten your day with love and care.

How can I forget you when your always on my mind?
How can I not want you when your all I want inside?
How can I let you go when I can't see us apart?
How can I not love you when you control my heart?

Without you there is no love.
Without you there is no me.
Without you there is nothing.
So I'm asking, baby, please don't leave me!!

I always knew looking back on the tears
would make me laugh,
but I never knew looking back on the laughs
would make me cry. I want you back!

You're not worth the tears,
you're not worth the heartache.
I don't know why I gave you the time.
You're not worth the pain,
you're not worth the emptiness.
I don't know why I wish you were mine.

I understand that with loves comes pain,
but why did i have to love so much?


Its hard to pretend you love someone when you don't
but its harder to pretend that you don't love someone when you really do.

to you:
I LOVE YOU...
