Like seriously?!
I'm a thinker. I guess I've always been. I micro analyze everything whether its boys or toys. And very so often i find my self not living the moment but contemplating the future that will be shaped by the choices i make today.
I Always thought that when you're meant to be with someone, the first time you meet them, its gonna be magic. Then it progresses. But really, there's no evidence for this (besides the media). Think about it, does everyone feel magic when they meet the person that, leave alone getting married, they wanna date? No they probably don't. But still, we. I. don't progress with people coz it just doesn't feel right. So much so that i'm unclear of whether the prob's in me or them.
I guess my real prob is the dating system here. We don't date, get to know and THEN fall in love. It happens backwards. And i x like that. How do you fall for someone without knowing them?? If i wanna get to know them and don't like what i find out, it's my fault as well. Like seriously!! WTH? If i just date without actually being in love, I'm perceived as cheap. Or worst, the guy thinks i'm playing him out. I don't get them to buy me dinners or expensive gifts coz I am in fact truly financially independant . But still i guess some people might think it's wrong.
at the end of the day I just wanna have fun and seriously i don't give a shit anymore. If that makes me cheap. Then maybe i am. So...?

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

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? :)

Dolled-up
Its 0030 on my K530i and I'm still feeling as full to the brim as I did hours ago.
It all started at 6 something when I was getting ready to go for dinner with a friend. I first decided on wearing a black and red blouse with boot-cut jeans, then i opted for skinny jeans with a blue and cream colored empire waisted blouse, next I thought lose the blouse, and got into a white chiffon blouse with a black clincher. Still, I'm not happy. I get into a navy-blue blouse. No. Revert to first option. Yes.
Then the hair, first all loose, a pony-tail, then a bun, then all loose again this time with moose, up, down, up, down. Down. Now that's settled, make up's a breeze.
So now you think I'm going out on a date kan? Nope. I met Sheryn (who is a girl btw).
Yes I know. I'm weird like that. I have been couped at home so long that I will jump at any opportunity to play dress-up =)
We went to ChatMasala, Brickfields. We ate, Cheese Kofta, Chicken Manchurian (vegetarian of cause) and I had Aloo Paratha (potato stuffed chapathi). As if that wasn't enough, we had to come back to Maduras and have Nescafe. I knew I should have just taken a Dosa or plain ol chapathi. Haiz!
Now i'll just go and read some no-brainer book (read: Mills & Boons) till I can sleep.
p/s: Anyone has the new Dan Brown book? Buzz me.

Incredible India
Today was a uncharacteristically busy Saturday, Breakfast in Maduras, movie in Brem Mall, Lunch in the Green Curry Shop, Gombak, Coffee at home and Dinner in Sin Kee. Awesome!I'm gonna eat as much as i can before i go on the month vegetarian spree starting on the 17th this month. It's the Navrathri (which literally means 9 nights) festival coinciding with the Prattassi month when people generally observe vegetarianism. It's my first time going a whole month, wish me luck! =)
We went to visit my ex-nanny today. She's really old but still remembers me and kept kissing me while telling me how much I've grown and all. It was really heart warming to be seeing her again, knowing that she can still have good memories of the menace i was back then :p And we were talking about their (her daughter and her) pilgrimage trip to India. It was really amazing the stories they had to tell about the temples and their histories. Hopefully my family's plan of going to India will materialize soon. Can't wait!
Laterz!

monday blues
First things first, I'm not in the mood for MERDEKA so don't bother wishing me a happy independence day with the widest smiley you can get coz i'm not interested.
I love my country, i just don't love the nonsensical things that go with it and the inaction that accompanies it. i wasn't wrong to be sceptical about 1 Malaysia. Lets see what the authorities do about carrying a cows head to a Hindu temple construction site. ISH! I could rant on and on but i don't wanna end up counting bars do i? How to BLog then? :p
Moving on to happy thoughts, i just read one of my seniors blog. she's is so in love that i wanna be in love too :D
Hahaha.....seriously reading her blog, makes me smile from ear to ear, she's writing her very own fairy tale and its so hopelessly romantic!
awwww...wish her all happiness and many more sweet times.
I was talking to a distant cousin about job prospects in Singapore and he was telling me about the perks and all. and of all the things he told me, u know wt I'm excited about? They are in trend with the US, so what ever comes out there, comes out in Singapore too! Awesome kan!!
Happy Monday everyone =)

thru my lense
Since my last post was very heavy, i m now gonna revert to some light-hearted observations I so easily can make day in and out.
1) Malaysians love their pasar malam. We really do! What else are we gonna do rather than carry our thick purse out once or twice a week to hoard on food that can feed an entire 'kampung' or two. And besides, it's not like we can go anywhere else because the dedicated pasar malam vendors would take the liberty of setting up their stalls WAY to early in the afternoon in the blazing madness called sunlight and block the on-going traffic!
2)There are 3 lanes on the road. 1st track slow, 2nd track slightly faster, 3rd track: you catch a glimpse of the car and the 'whoosh' of speed. Everyone is happy in their tracks and going at a pre-determined pace. Then you- Ms. middle lane, wants to overtake the car in front of you. To do that you put your signal to the left and attempt to move in the 1st track. and SUDDENLY mr. 1st lane remembers an emergency, triggered by your signal and blocks your every attempt to enter the first lane by deliberately going faster!
3) Notice how most advertisements, pictures etc showcasing the multi-racial composition of Malaysia specifically looks for a really dark boy or girl with a 'bindi' stuck on the forehead to represent an Indian. Since some people are ignorant enough, let me enlighten you, Indians are NOT all dark, oily haired, "bindi' wearers who speak with a bob in their heads. And when we do shake their heads it's because it is called Bharata-Natyam; a classical indian dance. We DO NOT walk around shaking our heads like we have a joint out of place in our neck. Chinese are NOT all flat eyed, with a killing obsession for money and Malays are NOT all lazy and self-indulgent. The only way to OneMalaysia is to STOP racial stereotypes.
4) When you are about to make a turn at a junction, waiting for the on-going cars to cease temporarily so that you can take that turn and go back home to use the toilet...URGENTLY! that is when some stupid, air-headed people (and I'm sorry to say girls/women of all ages, mostly) would walk slowly, and gracefully, shaking their hips from side to side, sharing some latest gossip about whose husband ran away with whom without a car for the bloody traffic, the cars or somebody's almost bursting bladder! And it gets worst, they have the nerve..the BLOODY nerve to stare at you if you horn at them after which they continue their pace of walking!
5) If you're feeling like getting an instant recognition date Giggs or any of the MU player. You'll be granted a title in no time. Malaysians have taken to a very generous behavior in granting titles to people these days. Dance around the tree in Bollywood, play football and strike goals like you are supposed to against MU or just jump down KLCC, you'll get your 'Grandpa'-title in no time =)
p/s: non-Malaysians are invited too. What can i say? Malaysia Boleh!

sky-rocket (just cause i'm lazy)
arathy has been my friend for half my life i think, since we were 9!
and among the many reasons i love her is this, she always says the smartest, funniest and also most nicest things to me:
"no matter what they say, a broken heart can be mended but the scars..well thats another story"
-my MSN personal msg
and she asks me why and if ethin is ok. then she asks me if its the ex. and ...,
puveshini:haha...nope
puveshini:he's not worth it. i'm too good for him
arathy: he certainly is NOT
arathy: we all know that.. ur beyond good..good does not suffice
but then again.,for what its worth,he taught u a lesson that ur too good for any average joe like him
see this is why i love her. she always says these stuff that makes u feel so great. and before you think i'm bimbotic and shallow, i KNOW i'm not all that. but still.....its nice to know that you have friends that have your back and think you're great even when you're doubting yourself because of some dude who doesnt give a rats ass.
and lucky me, i have a whole bunch of them =)

tv : the dumb-box!
isn't it funny how Oprah can be both inspirational and depressing at the same time?
i see all these people who are special in some way and they are so strong about it, goin on with life in the best way that they can and not compalining though they might be lacking a leg, an arm or both. but still they preservere and watching them makes me ashamed of the minude things we make a fuss over and the many things we take for granted.
we complain about zits and frown, some ppl x have a face or rather have reconstructed faces and they still can smile.
we complain about doing work, some ppl have lost their hands and use prosthetics to even take care of their babies.
we complain about walking a distance, some people would give their all to be able to do that.
we complain that we're havin a bad hair day, some people have their whole bodies full of hair that can't b covered with a cap
thats why i don't watch Oprah, you see, i get depressed. then i get some sort of a "survivor guilt" for being blessed and it progresses to me being anxious over the uncertainties the future holds. i've always thought of myself having a bright, spotless future, but i bet that's wt all those ppl thought till their lifes got turned 360 degrees.
haiz! i need to find other things to do than watch tv. maybe i'll go watch E! that's a no-brainer, no-depression, no-anxiety channel.
oh and might i add that watching the BIGGEST LOSER has made me opt for carrot stix instead of chocs. i can't say my fwenz are gonna be too happy if i start counting the calory value for everythin i eat...see why i shouldn't be watching all these shows? i absorb it and then its stuck in my head!sheesh!

anyway from the moment i entered i see all these newspaper cuttings about how contact lenses can cause all these eye infections and in some cases leading to blindeness. yikes! i was freaked out n went to read further (coz i gt my own pair a month ago). so as i was reading on, basically it says that if you arent meticulous enuff it'll cause parasitic infections *swallows* and then lead to well all other eye-tragedies :S. and most of the time happens to ppl who use it for cosmetic purposes than remediation...so i'm lik phewww...i'm short sighted so i'm not exactly using it for cosmetic purposes and i specifically asked 4 non-color; but my power was too low for it.problem solved rite? now i'm feeling all good bout myself n my contact lense.
till this girl who was waiting with us comes out with a bandage on one eye. and the mom is explaining the procedure the dr used; sumn involving, expanding the eye and cutting and....i-don't-know-coz-i-tuned-out (it's too much for me! i might faint of nausea!). then after a while the anaesthetic starts wearing off n now she can physically feeel the cut n pain and pedih-ness of it all! she started crying n shaking her legs (in attempt to control the pain)...and her mother says this " thats y wen mommy told u not to wear contact lens, x wanna listen".
Me: *looks in horror at mom*
Mom: gives me the i-told-u-so look. ish!
then after million light years we get called in n wt is the first thing i see?
a board saying all the eye-diseases that happens with lack of care for contact lens. with gruesome pictures!
is this some sorta sign?????
in the anxiety of how the future my vision (literally) is gonna be i stupidly asked the dr...."erm, i'm wearing contacts, how do i take care of it"
Dr: din the ppl who sold u the contacts teach u to wear it?
Me: yea....*trail off*
thank god my mom rephrased n asked wt the dr thought of contacts. n she said, u have to be very careful, if it irritates take it out immediately n see a dr, u shud b fine.hhhhhmmm....expected ans but at least she din say its totally completely bad.
i think i'll stick to my glasses for some time....unless its really really reeeaalllly necessary. :(

shoppers day out
carrying lotsa shopping bags out from the car after a days worth of shopping is one of my many fav things in the world!
the excitement i feel wen i get a good bargain, the feel of puttin on that new dress, skirt, blouse and lookin at urself in the mirror, and the sound of the machine goin 'ka-ching' as the deal is finalized and the pretty stuff are urs to love and treasure...awwww =))))))
i got 4 tops and 1 pencil skirt all for RM160! and...my mom din flinch once at my choice of clothes. now all i have to do is somehow get exempted from NS, hunt dwn major companies and get myself a job...simple as that.
...or NOT!. damn! i knew i had to get back to reality sooner or later.
anyhow, the day was still great :)
looking forward to an awesome week ahead with my chickas!
p/s: i'm proud of myself that i did not give in to temptation and buy shoes or casual clothes. i stuck to my to-buy list *pats self on back*

F.R.I.E.N.D.S
it's been four years since i stepped into HELP.-the awkward phase of entering a whole new chapter in your life in a new institution in a new town with complete strangers! (gombakland-ers wud knw coz we are basically in our comfort zone all thruout school with fwenz)...i even had thoughts of stoppin coz i thought i was too 'kampung' to fit into the whole college culture. anyhow, days turned into months, months to years and after 4 years, i look back and am glad that i stayed on. A degree in psych, friends from all over, many many memories-some painful, some sweet, and gazzilions were.... hillarious!!
i went in as a girl with tonnes of insecurities as a person and in others n i now leave with my head up high with certainty about who i am, what i'm made of, my values and of coz the people that helped me go thru this self-discovery process and who have been a big source of inspiration and help...then and now.
this post is dedicated to the main cast who have held prominent roles in my life and have been, my support system in good and bad times these past years. in no particular order:
*YUVanI Sidhu*
My first and longest fwen in college; since orientation day in Foundation. followed me on my first sorta-kinda- date out; tho she din lik the guy. loved sungai wang and times square with me and my first shopping kaki; she always questions n questions n questions and i have to say had a very..."interesting" way of perceiving things. nevertheless, it helped me think out of the shell and question what i had held on as universal truths. she also was there on my first clubbin session and told me that everything is gonna be ok. hugs for always texting me even tho i don't text back as often. i DO appreciate it :)
*Michelle Renu Singh*
The person i can be myself most with. has always been there if i need to talk to someone whether its somethin serious or just to let off some steam. never judging me and always being my teman in so many things that its hard to keep track of everythin. does my make-up for me wen we're going out, always watches out for not only me but everyone else and my go-to person in every imaginable situation. she's so comfortable with being herself that i started feelin comfortable with myself too. the thing is, i always thot that being quiet n introverted was bad and i shud change and she proved me wrong..gladly. Hugs for always being my rock on land and even in the deep, wide, blue sabah sea ;)
* Jasbir Kaur*
one of those rare people you hit it off with the moment u talk to them!she is my another temaning partner all thruout degree and has been such great company together with her sisters and brother all these years. she's is responsible for my first clubbing session ;) n has always helped me and stayed by me even at times when i felt abandoned by everyone else. a day out with her is definitely filled with lauffs and giggles about things that basically dusnt make sense to anyone and not even to us, but we'll still lauff our heads out first and secondly at ourselves for being silly! she reinforced the family values in me which i dont find in many people out there. hugs for always having my back.
*Ann Nicole Nunis*
the life of a party, and someone you go out with if all u wanna do is sit back and chillax. got to say the road was not always smooth for us but we're made it for four years and i daresay many more years to come. introduced me to the art of online shopping tho she has to take the cake as the online shopping queen of all times. ann is a huge contributor to all our outings as she brings kelini (her car) that has angkuted all of us to so many different places al these years. the only euro-asian person i knw and prolly will only knw that can understand and even attempts to speak in tamil and watches tamil movies, and goes gaga over indian actors! an avid animal lover and always trying to show me the cuteness of cats which i still DONT see :p hugs for always planning trips that have turned out to be memorable for all of us.
* KohilaH Sivasamy*
the most outspoken and straight-forward of the lot! thanks for making me see that it's ok to speak ur mind and be honest about wht u want n dont. my dancing partner in the short-term contemporary lessons and also in performing in sarees :)i was always getting mistaken for being her during foundation and its a compliment coz the women is a hottie :)she's always striked me as being strong and levelheaded; two terms that i don't completey identify with which i knw is crucial to me now and in the future. hugs for being yourself all thruout and being true.
* Devanand Raj*
the clown! he comes up with so many craetive names for ann that more often than not annoys her and their antics are so funny that u cant help but l.o.l! has been accepted as one of our GFS!!!! and knows boutgirls-stuff as much as us coz....well he din have a choice, we made him listen :p hugs for always making really good jokes and making us lauff.
...these six were the major reason i survived college and had lotsa fun while at it. while our lives take us on different paths, our memories together wud be etched forever on....well, FAcebook for one :p and in my heart and mind :)
here's a long over-due
THANK YOU! =)

munkee or no munkee, we still did wt we do best---> took pics!
halfway up
ahmed trying hard to catch up....go go go ahmed!
almost there d..see the entrance?
and finally we were in!
after that we went to Hock Lee's for char kuey teow.
ahmed kept dropping all his chopstix and nishta had to keep gettin him extras..till a point he just used the fork.
