Better hope it's in English

it's 8.35 am in the morning.

I just walked 15 minutes through unkept backyards, downhill between concrete walls, crossed a road, walked a long (LONG!) stretch of houses, thought i was gonna be chased by 4 stray dogs (who were minding their business, fumbled with the office keys and finally! sitting at my desk, alone in this office of 7;listening to Miley Cyrus-Climb, hhhmmm.... how very appropriate.

I need my green tea.

My feet is sore. Damn them white shoes!

I'm thinking if a resident has given birth yet (she had contractions while i was still around, last night...YIKES!)

I'm wondering where on earth Sungai Besi is and how totally uncool (AND UNsexy) is it to tell people "I'm from Parit Buntar" LMAO!!!God bless parit-buntarians :P

It's Halloween this Sat. Anyone have plans that don't involve me going out to get an outfit? wait...did I just say that??

Is my salary in yet?

I have an entire family to shop for. Checklist!

In a while, i'll see the kids jumping up and down outside the office door and i'll know my day has begun ;)

உப்டடேஸ்!

gosh! after a tiring week and post-diwali fatness, i"m finally blogging again.
Hope u guys had a awesome Diwali, i know mine was =)

I'm officially eating meat again *yaay!!*

I had my first and i would like to think successful child counseling session, and a follow=up as well.

My first adult counseling, which my colleagues teased was more like a gossip session coz the client was vibrant, loud and all willing to share. Interesting personalities i tell u!
Not a day is boring here in the Refuge.

You know we always here of people having weird name spellings because the JPN or Hospital staff misspelled it, well news flash: apparently they can even miss-look *wait for it* GENDER! WTHHHH???!!

Sheesh! Malaysia 'memang' Boleh la!

Fri nite was spent in Zouk. Vinod's 24th Birthday. Finally after so long was clubbing again, but music sucked. Company was good tho, and of coz it was a friend's birthday..So mesti go kan.



Even met some new friends, Jan, Sandra and Meghaa (whose not in the pics...sowie)


while Vinod entertained guests, we entertained ourselves *as usual i knw!* :D

NOW i'm sick :( And tom got conference on Domestic Migrant Workers.

Woofie doo

why are there so many cats in malaysia? ok i seriously x care about other parts of the country, but why selangor? why PJ? why Gombak??? WHY???

Today i almost ran over a cat coz it stops when i stop and exactly when i press the accelerator, chooses to run across. Bodoh!

I'm not a cat-hater, i do feel bad when i see any animal being the victim of road-kills or torture, be it cats, dogs, rats and the occasional birds.

But yes! I'm not a cat person and I have tried and tried but I can NOT like them,i'm scared of them, I bloody run from them!!

on the other hand, i'm partial towards these cute lil things..awwwww



One more day of work, then holiday till mon!
Happy Diwali!
=)

first day at work

And so i had my first day at work..woo-hoo!!

guess who's the friend i have waiting for me on my table,

i'm gonna have to think of a name for him..anyone?

The people at work are really friendly and the kinda go-getter women who can inspire and intimidate at the same time. The moment the kids in the shelter saw me they kept going "It's Uma akka under disguise!" And this name I've been hearing since the interview when i was again compared to this Uma person coz of my appearance. I think she's really good and they keep sending her to do all these talk shows with the tamil channels. So naturally Indians generally call in for her. And my luck, she was on leave today, for the whole week act!

Generally, I wouldn't have had to answer calls from clients on my first day, but there were people calling in for Uma and since i was the only other social worker who could speak tamil, I managed to take two calls :))) the thing was, i had to speak to them in tamil!. Now i can speak tamil here and there, but to actually carry a whole conversation in tamil to people who can't speak anything other than tamil? I was freaking out! but i think i managed fine la, for a first timer.

which explains why i was and still am all smiles till now =D

oh and i have this rock star to keep me happy too,

There's somethin so kick-assy feminine about black bags with gold studs while not being overly girly. i like!

My latest stationary addition,

colorful pens! i've always wanted a set, but couldn't afford the pricey Stabilo ones.

New Days

Finally it arrived in the mail,
My offer Letter reading,

Dear Ms. Puveshini Rao, you're hired! (the gist la)
I'm now officially an employee of Women's Aid Organisation =))

No more pain-in-the-*youknowwhere* interviews

and to actually work in the organization Sham and I have been talking/fantasizing/discussing (all in our free and boring BM and Sej times); about since we were teeny-boppers is really something i tell you.

To a new beginning,
=)

Quickie

I made a startling discovery about myself last night!
You know how you tend to do some stuff subconsciously and because it's so norm for you, you don't actually realize you're doing it? Well I'm not so lucky anymore, I do realize now...,

I mentally correct (not like there's anything wrong with it) the language in sms while reading it. For Eg. someone says "why did you do that? are u a gay" There's nothing majorly wrong with it, but I want it to sound/look "nicer", so i might correct it to sound "why'd u do that? u gay or sumn?"-in my head! And sometimes I even restructure the whole message!!

Sheesh! The after-effects of having too much free time and the pre-disposition of being a control freak, doesn't go too well does it? And now i read word-for-word rather than just glancing at messages just to make sure I'm not correcting it.



Pizza and breadstix anyone? :)

Couch-Tomato (coz i like it better)

Since 7 this morning, I've heard my stomach rumble non-stop (early dinner-part of a new healthy diet regime; dont ask!), watched a re-run of F.R.I.E.N.D.S & The Nanny, got my dose of gossip from E! News (the only news i watch btw) and the Daily 10 (they are practically the same-minus the countdown bit..ppfff) and an episode of (my favouriteeee) Glow.

Bless E! Channel for the awesome shows that make you feel like kicking yourself for not having the money or facilities to say; have custom-made lipstick colors, nail polish, celeb make-up artist..... or seaweed facial (hey, its good for all skin types!).

And since the death of M.J, the new fuss in town is Khloe Kardahians wedding. As drama-fied as they are, seriously! can people stop calling her a fat slob and expecting her to be as small as her sisters? the woman has gone from a size 12 to a size 6! 25lbs! Hello!! She's tall, so no matter how much she loses weight, she'll be always bigger than her sisters; at least she's healthy (physically and psychologically secure). And what kinda non-sensical morons call people stuff like this on their wedding day? Shame on you magazine people! AND you wonder why eating disorders are on the rise.

FYI! Fat is not an adjective pertaining to size; it's part of the skin structure which often acts as an isulator to shocks and maintains body temperature among others. The term is Over-weight; which means weighing much more than the cut-out point for your structure (in a nutshell); Khloe is NOT over-weight!Have you seen her in the navy blue bikini shoot?

Yes I like the KUWTK (They aren't as Diva'ish as Kimora); but I'm not biased, this is just so stupid!

read it if you're as bored as me

I'm bored! BORED! BOREDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh..I finally got my Boyfriend-Tee :))
And I found it in Pasar Malam! I totally Love Gombak Pasar Malam la.
Seriously, I saw the same BF -tee in Jusco (Applemints) going for RM79.90,
In E-Boutiques going for RM 35-45.

In Pasar Malam, RM 25 (actually RM30, but if you're mom is like mine, you'll never pay the actual price :P). The quality is good, vibrant colors, great fit, adjustable sleeves, such a STEAL! kan?!!

Now that I've mentioned that, I'm bored again!

UPDATE! (for Jade :P)

Sedih

I want the funky owl ring I saw in an online store!

I'm not a big fan of all things owl, but I'll make an exception for this.

But RM25?! for a ring? after getting tix for B! I don't think so.

Haiz!
