A bit dumb, but good. Semi professional bathroom singer and full time raccoon enthusiast. Aspiring sea hag. Feral and chaotic. Donβt touch me! She/her
Helicopters flying over my house in Kandy. You reckon Namal and co are coming to steal the tooth relic in a last ditch attempt to be the rightful rulers of Sri Lanka?!
A long time ago, back in 2019, my friend Ellie and I were having dinner at Slightly Chilled. Some members of the Lankan team walked in and Ellie got very excited because Malinga was there and her uncle and aunt back in the UK were huge fans and she wanted to send them a picture.
My Sinhala teacher told me Iβd fail my O/L Sinhala paper because I was too stupid to teach. I got a Distinction for it. And she said my English knowledge wouldnβt get me anywhere in life and Iβm now an English teacher at the BC and a speaking examiner for IELTS.
Flex your lowest academic low score.
To remind us that almost everyone fails at some point in life but it isn't the end of the road. Just a memory in the end.
Mine was 27/100 in Engineering Math 2, just a year after I'd scored 99 in 12th boards. Much needed kick in my butt.
I see a brave man here. He's terrified but he still got the vaccine. To quote Nelson Mandela, "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.β
Ok fun police. The country is broke so all Sri Lankans should stay at home and be miserable and think about what we lost. Let people have what joy they can, especially in a time of crisis. Sometimes a little ice cream can go a long way.
When I was a little girl, my dad was my hero. He worked abroad when I was that age so when he was in SL Iβd follow him around wherever I could. Ammi found this picture today π₯°

IELTS Writing. A thread. You have 1 hour to do both writing tasks so use your time wisely. They recommend you use 20 minutes for task 1 and 40 for task 2. This is because task 2 is longer than task 1 and carries more weight.
I used to think my dad would live for ever. And today itβs been a year today since he passed away. I canβt imagine how quickly time passed and it still feels like heβs away at work and will come home at any time. Hug your dad if youβre close. Youβll miss him when heβs gone.
I went for a Toastmasters club meeting. No one spoke about Toast despite their alleged mastery over it. There were speeches but no one spoke about the best way to make toast. There were also refreshments and still no toast. 3/5 βοΈ 2 stars have been deducted for false advertising.
Itβs on days like this that my heart is glad that I was born in Sri Lanka. I get to eat and enjoy food like this. The mangoes and the Jack fruit are from the garden, add that to fried coconut sambol and hallmassi badum, and I could not ask for more.
I realized that while I have a lot of tattoos I donβt have one that symbolizes my home and my country. So with a little advice from a friend I decided on a sprig of curry leaves because whatβs more Sri Lankan than karapincha? This was the end result. Art by the talented KhoΓ«lie.
If anyone calls you a slut, instead of getting sad and upset, just say βAnd yet I still wonβt fuck you.β And blow them a kiss as you saunter away because thatβs the closest they are ever going to get to the magnificence that is you.

Poor Jessie is sick. So I have to hold her paw. This is for two reasons. Comfort and to keep her paw straight so the medicine goes in. Spear a thought for my girl please.
He tried to call Malinga back but he didnβt come back so he and the others stood with us so Ellie could have her picture. We had no idea who he was back then, he was just a lovely person who tried to make us feel better. Turns out the lovely person was

Condoms are one of the most environmentally friendly things invented by man. A single one has the potential to eliminate the carbon emissions of an entire human over the course of their lifetime.

All I can think about when I see this is how if I ever did something like this my mom would give me a thundering smack and say βDONβT HANG OUT OF TRAINS! If you fall and die donβt come crying to me!β π₯Ή
I have a credit card. Iβve had one since I was 20 and in Uni. In 18 years Iβve never paid more than what I actually used because I know exactly how much I can spend so I can pay it back in full at the end of the month. I make the scam work for me, and Iβve done so all this time.
I don't use credit cards. I don't even have one. Whenever I tell people I don't have a credit card, they assume I'm lying to them or am just joking.. Truth is, I don't have one. I am anti-credit card. I know how this scam works and I'm not that naive to be fooled by scams.
This is called an βΰΆΰΆ§ΰ· ΰΆΰ·ΰ·ΰ·ΰΆ½ΰ·' and itβs what bananas originally looked like before we domesticated them and turned them into the bananas we all know, love, and eat now. This is the real OG banana, behold its glory and weep!
Today we have Spaghetti Bolognese for dinners with ammi. This was the last meal I cooked for my dad that he asked for, before he died. And this is the first time I made it again since then. Itβs good though, and I think he would have approved.
Go sit on a cactus. I have a theory that your butthole is so wide because your head has been up it all this time, it wonβt hurt even a little. Again, this is just my theory.

Thank you thoughts of dog. My country has been through so much these past few days. We are heartbroken and devastated. Your account has been one thing that has made me smile. Thank you.
Today is a bit of a weird day. I lost my dad 2 years ago today but my baby gorls turn 10 years old as well. So in the morning we went and helped some people to remember dad, and then we had a birthday party for the gorls. I even baked them a cake. I have a feeling dad approves.
If you are going to do IELTS, for Godβs sake go for a class before you do it. It doesnβt matter how good your English is. Trying to examine people who have no clue about what to expect or say is taking years off your examiners lives!

Most people assume I canβt make Sri Lankan food because I mostly make ΰΆΰ·ΰ·ΰ·ΰΆ»ΰ· ΰΆΰ·ΰΆΈ. I would like to dispel that myth. I give you, sambola and parippu. Lunch of champions π
The Indian national anthem is sung in Bengali, which is a minority language, and is not sung in the official language of India, Hindi. Therefore, by your logic, the national anthem of Sri Lanka should be sung ONLY in Tamil.
