a day in 2009

yes i've been busy. my F**king internet is down at home. and i've got a new hobby :) and it's HIM.

I'm officially 3/4 in a relationship..ok make that 1/2....oh god!

Is it normal for people to get cold feet just to be in a relationship???

word of advise: prolly not a good idea to tell your over-protective-capable-of-killing-people-who-hurt-you kinda family everything about your would-be/might-be bf.
If you aren't having cold feet d, they'll make you have one!.

But that's the reason you love them ;)

Can't wait for Sunday.

xoxoxo
Is it just me or 2010 just looks like it's gonna be an awesome year?

random

Yesterday the interview was aired!

and that was scarier than the interview!but all was good, my MOM is a celebrity now (yea i knw!) she got more calls than me.. but that's probably because how many of my friends would watch the tamil news anyway???

today is another day at work, and i have piles and piles of case reports to write and annual gathering is this weekend, plus Ivy's X-mas party next weekend AND i want to make time for my friends, those around and those who just came back from diff parts of the world. Sigh! So much to do, So little time and only ONE me.

Digi has something against me. It's official! I keep getting my cdt cut way too much even if it's FnF. WTH?!!

i wanna watch couple's retreat, new moon and ninja assassin. Any takers??

I'm smelling christmas in the air ppl. Gosh! i love this time of the year =))and i've just been made secret santa for our christmas party. any ideas ppl?

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!

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!
=)

Sheesh!

Since I'm on the look-out for a job, I've been keeping myself busy with doing household chores. And I cook more frequently now than I did. There's something about the chopping. crushing. sauteing. that is extremely stress relieving. As much as i love cooking, more than that i love the reactions of friends and family when they seem to be enjoying it.

BUT.... I do not appreciate comments like "you'll be a good housewife", "you can get married now" yada-yada-yada. A simple "It's delicious" will do.

Thank You.

i went to watch a Tamil movie with Kohilah today.

We had Nandos =))))
I love Peri-Peri chicken..its so yummy! tho our waiter was the same guy who served us the last time. errrr....he's polite and all but he just sounds very fake and i x feel good bout him, and Kohi agrees too! Why I'm blogging about the waiter i don't even like?? just to fill up the space :S

So anyway this movie is called Kanthasamy (i laughed like mad first time i heard it, haha!) it was super-duper-crazy-giler-babi long! but i liked the camera-work, everything was projected beautifully wit lots of vibrant colors and taste (if i might add). and for once the actress had something to do; by that i mean a more substantial screen time rather than just appearing for songs without actually delivering lines.
overall i guess it was ok, your average Tamil movie with awesome art direction.

I wanna go watch movie tomorrow also!

oh, btw we don't have to go to India to experience chaos in the cinemas. feel free to walk into the nearest Tamil-movie-playing cinema in Malaysia to experience whistles, cat-calls, jeering, clapping and ooh-aahing. i guess we only fall short to Indian (read: in India)cinemas in that nobody dances and fights.......yet!

quick updates

I purposely sleep freaking late every night just so that i can sleep in in the morning but guess what?

i wake up at FREAKING! 6.30-7.30am. What am i gonna do being up so early? and then i try hard to sleep back downstairs with channel E! on in the background; which is not a good idea cause i wake up unsure if Reggie bush and Kim Kardashian got back together or it was just my dream. Weird subconscious stuff :S

Then i feel disgusted cause all i do is be a couch potato while the bright side of the globe is up on its feet and working their asses off. but well not for long :)
better enjoy it while i can :))

and i write stupid blogs bout random stuff.

OH! i got myself a shoe which is a cross between a gladiator shoe + fringe shoe.
and i've been wearing it all weekend...even to pasar malam! :)

pics coming up

The week that was

Update for the Week when-kohilah-came down-to visit

Tuesday
The Plan: Baking at Yuv's.
Guest List: Ann, Kohi, Michelle, yours-truly and Yuvani.
Reality: we are a bunch of bums who like to laze around and talk about random stuff, sometimes about random people as well. and in our defense, the electricity went off so we couldn't bake even if we wanted to.

Wednesday
The Plan: Jusco Sale (on a personal note, NO shoes for me)and Nandos
Guest List: Michelle, Kohi and me
Reality: i bought another pencil skirt in brown (pencil skirts are my official favorite work-wear; very sexy-secretary ish :p)AND a pair of peep-toe flats. I couldn't resist it!my craving for Hot Peri-Peri chicken has been satisfied!

Thursday
The Plan: Lunch + Harry Porter and The Half Blood Prince (opening day!)
Guest List: Kohi, Michelle, Nishta and me
Reality: Nishta couldn't make it for lunch. I found a caterpillar in my food! (names anonymous coz the owner came and apologized) and i got free lunch =)
Movie was awesome!! (minus an annoying couple who kept narrating the story as it happens..geez)

Friday
The Plan: Lunch at OU with Jasbir, Hit the clubs at night
Guest List: Ann, Kohi, Jas, Mich, me and yuvani
Reality: Jas couldn't make it for lunch so we saw her a while AFTER lunch and dessert. We went for dessert at Secret Recipe (marble cheese cake.....such a sweet sin!) we skipped clubbing and went to Rasta for late dinner except for kohi.

Saturday
The Plan: Pasar malam and a BBQ party with Sheryn
Guest List: Sheryn and me
Reality: I couldn't get the car and her's rosak. So i just lepak-ed at home.

Therefore, it is evident that
Plans Aren't Meant To Be Followed.
Thank you for reading.
Laters!

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! =)

random

i have two more papers next week.
Exactly 1.15pm next wed i'll be done with my 3 years edu in HELP =)
ok exam finishes at 2 but its mcq n i usually come out that time coz after 1.30 we have to wait till 2. the rule x make sense to me...but well, most rules dont anyway!
i'm thankin my lucky stars coz 2 outta 3 papers this sem are all MCQ and btw they are both thought by Dr. Logan.

good night world.

my fav quizzes

Puveshini took the Which type of woman are you? quiz and the result is Lovely Lady

You are lovely and caring. You help others and spread out a lot of sympathy. Your life aim might be to serve the people. But your weakness is that you forget about yourself, your own needs. All your time is hold back for your friends and family. You are always there for people in trouble. Ready for any emergency. You make a lot of sacrifices just to be a good human. But every woman has her needs, her longings and a destiny. Don't loose yourself in work or curing other people's souls. You will have your own problems in your life. Another problem is that you don't say your opinion when it's right and important to say it. People trample onto your soul if you are always so kind and lovely and helpful. They will play on you. Though you should try to relax more and enjoy your life, you should not loose the gift that was given to you to help others . Not everyone is created this way... You are unique and rare!

this post feeds my narcissistic side that's hidden deep within =)

Time: 10.45
Listening to: the click of the camera as mich surfs thru genting pics
Lookin at: Kohila sleeping.

Wishing: I don't have to take the train back n by some miracle, mom comes to fetch me =)

Genting pics tonite peeps!

the time when i almost wanted to die

so the telugu community in malaysia is really small right. that everytime u meet another telugu, u get all excited and start sharing stories like u've known them for years..at least for those who are friendly la. but u knw when u stop being too friendly, when they start talkin bout match-making. u don't talk about stuff like that without ur daughters knowledge and definitely NOT inFRONT of her!!!

gosh i almost wanted to die!

after all that..u lauff n say " oh she's just 21. long way to go".

hello??? i was oledi 21 when u guys started all the "talk"

ish..ish..ish..

bah!

i've been lazy, unproductive and a couch potato this weekend.
must finish assignments,:S
must fin writing notes,:S
must fin studying 4 exams,:s
must go buy new saree..:)

oh n i'm on a no-chicken diet at the moment.
gone 3 days without it.
i'm in 'trying-food-other-than-chicken phase
wish me luck.

do u knw how much i love Dr. suguna's classes? how much in awe i am of dr.suguna?
it's lik i wanna grow up to be her...i'm lame, i knw but hu cares.
i never liked being a lecturer or spared it even a moments thot. but now after seeing her, it dusnt seem that bad.....=) *imagines ann rolling her eyes*

do u know how great it is to meet up with ol' friends?
its lik feeling nostalgic n at the same time being totally in the moment (i'm not making sense bt bear with me). met sheryn today, and as always it was fun. she's the only person i knw who has remained authentic and unchanged since we left school and yes thats a good thing!ppl change and get so caught up being "sophisticated adults" but meeting up with her is like we're back in school, no inhibitions, talking as loud as we can-about anythin we can-wereva we can . like we're the only one's in the shop..wait a minute, we were the only ones..... till after some time *winks*

i M.I.S.S my fav bitch in town! YUVANI SIDHU.
she has exams and is on her way to becoming a kick-ass accountant.
faster fin exams we go shop 4 ur room in ikea.
u sure bout vampire green???

p/s: lets hope dr. suguna isn't in the habit of googling herself :p
