ticking away

i can feel it

right there in the middle of me

waiting to come out

i may not look it, No

But i feel it

it keeps getting stronger

and stronger

and at any moment

it might explode

i might break

u may be wounded

and still ............,

My Life so far

Today was as interesting as any day can get.

1) I almost fainted in the counseling room after listening to a client describe her injuries.
If I'm not mistaken, the word that set off a series of bio-chemical reactions that finally forced me to sit with my head in my hands was "BLOOD".
And like that wasn't bad enough, my client came out and announced, "She (me) pening d after listening to me". And my colleagues laughed and laughed and......LAUGHED!

tom i'm being de-briefed by a psychologist!

2) Aanantha from THR raaga called and since the only other Tamil speaking Social Worker was out to lunch, so guess who's appearing for a 5-min WAO-promoting stint on air?

Nervousness giler!

3) I agreed to emcee for the Annual Gathering (WTH!) i'll be fine now, wait till the day, i'll b a bag of nerves!

4) Me with my BIG mouth, told my colleague that i would like to do presentations and talks, without knowing there's one on thurs. Now, i might have to do that talk.
so soon!!

5) Lots of she says, s(he) says down in the shelter and nobody seems to be admitting their mistakes. The Result??

Stressed staff and a happy panel psychologist :)

Never a dull moment eh??

Chic & Cute

Last Sunday was the Chic Charity Event in Zouk KL; In aid of Women's Aid Organization.
And so Arrienne, Di and I were there from 11am to 6pm (on a Sunday! i know!)

So yea, we didn't manage to sell much merchandises but what ever we did sell was unexpected sales as well, so all's good =)

The event was actually a bunch of e-boutiques coming off9 to sell their stuff. and we even had S.W.A.G (Stuff.We.All.Get) aka freebies at the entrance and RM5.50 (dies!) burgers near the entrance, plus loud music, chill-to-the-bone air conditioning and lots of irresponsible lung-cancer causing smoking. In short it was like clubbing minus the dance and make-up plus loads of awesome goodies.

I spent my $$ on a cute baby-tee, a dove-charmed bracelet and a really beautiful peacock feather inspired hairband (such a steal!).


Have i mentioned I'm a sucker for charms? they had 3D snowflakes, cute Santas, Doves, Angels, mistletoe, christmas trees, shells, stars etc.

My peacock feather inspired hairband


my dove charm bracelet:


**On second thoughts, it's too big for my hand, maybe i'll substitute it with my fairy charm and hang this dove in my car. Yup! now all i have to do is get the Chains,Bracelets+Anklet lady to fix it for me.hhhmmmmm**

On a separate note, Uma made me in charge of the gifts for teenage girls(Annual Gathering), and I've decided to get them all earrings :))))))
So yours truly is gonna shop for 30 pairs of dazzling,gorgeous, traffic-stopping earrings soon.

See..., work aint depressing all the time *smiles broadly*

Anyone wanna loan me their Harry Potter set?? Wanna read againnn.

My Constitution

Yesterday was the Launching of the Bar Council's MyConstitution Campaign. With a row of talented, intellectual, and dare-to-speak-my-mind-kinda speakers it was totally informative, truthful and yea very blunt , frank and totally void of sugar-coating = kick-ass!



It is basically a campaign to educate the public on the importance of the Constitution, Our Constitution and not just what it is, but also what it contains.

We let the politicians feed us their version of the constitution and we follow it blindly.

We let ourselves be governed by a new type of colonialism by our very own.

We signed away our freedom to live and let live.

All these a product of our ignorance.

AND because of our false assumption that the constitution is a document only for law practitioners, we are not bothered that The Malaysian Constitution has gone through 500 amendments in 52 years! (America is still in it's 13th). If we continue to let it happen, it'll soon loose the true spirit in which it was first made by our fore-fathers.

Simply put, the constitution is a legal document that decides the type of country we live in, the powers that the government has and a way to limit that powers.It is (contrary to what we were made to believe) a universal document that does not aim to create a 2-tiered community that we, the people, have been used to.

The Constitution underlines my right to live my life, the way i want to and also allows me to grant my neighbor the same privileges.

Thus, the current campaign by the Bar Council aims at allowing this Document to be accessible and comprehensible to every, EVERY citizen of Malaysia.
yes! This includes the mamak anne, chinese rice uncle, nasi lemak mak cik and also the Mr.,Mrs., Datin. Datuk. etc.

So go Download your copy of the constitution at:

Also be a Fan of the MyConstitution campaign on Facebook or be a Tweet. Links to be found in the Website.



Love your Constitution, Love Malaysia. =)My

Food+Girls+Shopping+Rain

Thursday brought with it the expectation of seeing my girlz again *smiles broadly*

Since i started work i haven't actually been hanging out as much as i would love to, so ...

after lunch in Kausi and waiting for the *heavy* rain to stop, you would think that we would head home. NO! we sent dev back and went window-shopping in Blook!.

and guess what it starts raining heavier than before and we are stuck there, go Mcd la. Eat again, keep pushing the cup to one another for refills (we are all lazy like that (;)

And....,

What else?



then,



Then we wanted a pic of all of us together, got creative and Ta-DA!(after manyyy attempts)



**If you're planning on stabilizing a phone camera on a wobbly handbag, be ready to pose gazillion times till you get a non-retard looking photo of everyone**

bodoh

Do you need proof that sometimes (some) people are just plain stupid?



See the guy on the bike on your far left?

He is looped by tyres.

Not only that, he tries to swerve in and out of afternoon traffic near Taman Paramount.

Mati ok Jugak, If become OKU, anak bini cam mane?????

No Brains la!

Friday the 5th

A friend sent me this today.Since i'm born on MArch 1st; teal is my color (apparently)

TEAL
You are mostly interested in your looks (go ahead make me sound shallow; like everyone else isn't). And have high standards in picking love (explains so many things). You think and make a solution precisely, and hardly make stupid mistakes (yeaa riteee). You like to lead, and is easy for you to make new friends (really???).


Tuan-tuan dan puan-puan, example orang terlalu free pada pagi hari
*my language teachers migt die of stroke if they read this*

Someone's watching "the time traveller's wife" tonight =)
Tidak Boleh Tunggu! :D

Aduhai!

Choices. Options.

Why do people always say they want more of these? People start up franchises, add pages to their menus, stock up on many, MANY things all based on the belief that people love having choices.

Me?

I completely loathe-macam-nak-mati it.

It's confusing, time-consuming, too much of effort and doesn't even come with a guarantee.

I hate going to Chillies and turning pages after pages of food without knowing what to choose while the waiter taps his notepad impatiently.


I hate going to stores and being handed down a budget to work under; while having gazillion dresses waiting for you to make up your mind.
(not to mention waiting for the line at the dressing room, hoping that the other girl doesn't take the baju you like, dealing with the looks from your bored family; who will eventually swear never to come out with you again, praying the baju will suit your body and your pocket)

I hate walking in Body Shop and being mesmerized with their pelbagai collection while having the nosy salesperson stick to you like your shadow.

you see, the problem is I'm very intuitive; i work on instincts and the Heart. And i truly believe..,

Shopping is like falling in love.

When you see something, You have to have the initial attraction,

You should feel your heart sinking when you leave it in the shop,

then it conquers your thoughts every waking moment, You dream about your future together, The places you'll go, the people you'll meet, who'll admire and stare till their eyes pop out (all while you're still in the mall OR some times after you've left)

Your heart skips when you see it again,

your heart beats faster when you walk towards it to finally make it yours.

All this before someone else snatches it away from you.

You have this connection that only you understand.

When i have TOO- many choices, I get TOO-stressed and end up falling in LOVE with A LOT of stuff ($$$$ issue) OR HATING it all.Either way, I sedih =(

And my mom thinks shopping can be done quick and easy.

Sheesh!

p/s: I still love Shopping and i found my shopping-philosophy twin; Di! The odds people!
the odds!

=_=

Tomorrow will be a sad day for me & shereen.

Tomorrow we will with heavy hearts bury our dreams of seeing Beyonce perform Live (in the near future).

Tomorrow we will return our tickets and wait for the cheque.

Tomorrow we will snap ourselves back to reality; The concert is ........*i can't say it*

Today i sat in the train.

Today i switched on my *hot pink* i-Pod

1> Ave Maria: Beyonce
2> Halo: Beyonce
3> Flaws & All: Beyonce

Me: Okayyyy that's weird. Give it one more song.

4> Dejavu: Beyonce.
5> Irreplaceable: Beyonce

Me: OMG! the Irony of it all. The Universe has a message for me

Today i flip my Pod. The shuffle button is off!=_=

But STILL... the chances of it playing B first!

Sigh!

Guarantee for life?

*for the umpteenth time*
I love my job. talking to people and making them see the tough-stuff that makes up their core gives me immense satisfaction. It truly does!

But...,
It is also very depressing at times.

At the age i am and I'm guessing most of my friends reading this are, we often look at our world through lilac pink (coz i like it better than rose :P) lenses and dream of a lifetime of love, undying loyalty and the ability to look back in our old age and see a family complete with children, grandchildren and by god's grace, great-grand children all happy and healthy.

Then again,

everyday I'm bombarded with people who once had these same dreams as you and i; being subjected to all kinds of heartache that many of us have only read about. There's no guarantee that the guy who seems to be the love of our life now will remain that guy 20 years, 10 years or even 1 year down the road. If its only the relationship that breaks, it's still fine but more often than not, they lose a big part of themselves,who they are, their identity, their faith in life and what it has to offer, and their beliefs. On top of that they have a string of children to tend to, zero bank balance, no shelter or food. and the guy, well he is off marrying someone else or busy building up his life somewhere. *this is the worst of scenarios*

but there's always the possibility *tiniest as ever as it may be* that this can happen to anyone of us. to me.

and that scares me. it really does.

then again life doesn't come with any guarantees does it?

p/s: I sat one seat away from MarinaM at a Bar Council seminar. And IvyJ (my Boss) introduced us; hands and all. I kept a straight-face throughout and after we were seated i was like ZOMG!!! to Di (my colleague) :D
