just me =)

god! its my few last days of holz:(
i just stayed home this last week but it was fun 4 me; coz i somehow find ways to kill time at home.i dl songs, i read, i tv, i cook n clean then i take a break n cont dl songs, read, tv, cook and clean then break then.....(u get it) but i still like it.
ann says i'm an old soul stuck in a body of a 21 year old. but i like staying at home. do i enjoy going out? yes! i do. but i x have a prob staying home and i x have the craving to get out n about (most of the time at least). i knw its a bit ...different from most ppl my age. but hey...who said i wanted to be like everyone else? *winks*

therefore im gonna blog about the lil seemingly unconventional things i do :
(in no particular order)

some pics from today, while we were supposed to be joggin in taman tasik, :P


yummy cakes at secret recipe... =)




1> in this modern era of electric guitars and drums and loud head banging music, i find myself identifying with classical indian music & instruments.

2> i dont take any ice in my drinks (hot days are an exceptional..reeeaaaalllly hot days).

3> i x take any fizzy gassy sugary drinks ie: Coke, Pepsi, F&N etc. i like teas ie: earl grey, jasmine, green, chinese etc

4> i blow my ice cream before putting it in my mouth (as if its hot)

5> i hit the clubs occasionally but i (much to ppl's surprise) i do not drink. so stop asking me if i do and save me all the shocked expressions.

6> i x take much fast food coz -based on my own theory- MSG gives me itchiness all over my face esp my nose..its annoying n goes on lik forever!

7> i'm single. and have been 4 quite some time now so if u think i'm guy-hopping, believe me, i would knw if i was!

8> i like nando's betta than chillies (and ann is goin "what the...." now) coz too many options (Chillies) confuse the heck outta me while i'm deciding which food is more worth my money.

9> i don't like dancing with random guys who just feel free to dance with me on dance floors and while at it get a bit touching here and there. have the decency to ask first (tho i might say no anyway but still....) and keep ur paws off me!

10> suha is gonna kill me for this but when i DONT make plans to go jogging with her i semangat to jog with her. the moment i make the plan, i malas d wan. i x knw y..hhhmmmm......=P

i just watched a heart-warming episode of desperate hsewives. and it revolves on how a handyman (the namesake) touches the lives of the ladies of Wisteria Lane. in the real world we usually dont even knw the names of our plumber, the grocery store owner, the nice petrol bunk guy who cleans my windows everytime i refill and all those seemingly unimportant ppl who do us little favors. wasnt there a saying that goes "its the small things that matter"? but no. afterall they're doin their job rite? we pay them n thats it. human relationships are coined in terms of currencies these days.

and isnt it amazing how being there for someone during a crucial point in their live, just saying a few nice things or just sitting dwn with them can go a long way in helping them deal with their situation. for the person in dilemma its like a sign from God. imagine u ran out n cash n are really hungry. and your friends treat u to lunch knowing that ur short of cash n ur too embarassed to ask. or a friend who buys u a present just coz she knws ur sad. or ur gfs holding ur back n trashing ur ex to make u feel betta and boost ur esteem. these are the things that bond ppl and ultimately its these bonds are what moves your life forward when the going gets tough.

so from now on im gonna smile n thank every waiter, petrol boy, plumber, ice-cream man, gradeners that work for me and maybe throw in a few words in good spirit. u never knw when u might be making a difference in someones life. and isnt that y i took up psychology in the first place? ;)

wed-ditch out

i'm gonna blog abt a recent incident which i never actually bothered about till someone changed my perspective.

so on sun evening suha n her bro (my cousins) are goin to this wedding dinner reception. actually their father was supposed to go but uncle had a meeting so sent his children and suha invited christy (her bf) n me along too.

so there we were (only suha + me) all hyped up about getting dressed and we donned our sarees and accessorized and got our make up done and all that. the boys were ok i guess. and we left, laughin n joking along the way. good times.

the entrance had at least 4 slideshows of the bride n grooms studio pics. they are both Drs and ethin looks fancy and beautiful. then we reach the registration place right and my heart stops, they are checking ppl in. its based on RSVP. i could almost picture getting thrown out of a wedding reception before even entering (and did i mention i have no idea who the bride n groom are). heres the deal uncle din rsvp coz he said that its not a hotel dinner so y all the fuss (it was in HGH convention center, Sentul)but he did inform someone about his children but the tag-alongs? ok don't panic. someone gets us a table at the far back of the room. Table 101. wth rite!thats like the 2nd table from the back. i knw tag-alongs x complain. hey its my blog!

the bride n groom were telugus so naturally the mc spoke in telugu, they had telugu songs all along and yess lotsa telugu ppl. christy wasn't too happy bout it. hahah!then my fav part: FOOD! heres the deal the first 60 tables get served the next sixty have to q up. n the line was freaking long and slow moving!! so wat does suha's bro dcide? screw the wedding we're leaving. my first time ditching any kinda event. even if it sucks i just stay there coz im all dressed up n all kan and ppl just x walk out of wedding receptions.

so we leave and eat at a nice indian restorant-where i tear my banana leaf with my fork (my nails were painted la). then in my saree and glammed up-ness go to bangsar 4 baskin robins.yummy!

**********************************************************
the moral of the story is:

i) always always always rsvp. no matter the location (hotel or not) ppl need the info to book seats and order food. i x knw if its a general thing but all indians i know x rsvp incl my mom.

ii)showing double standards during events is bound to get ppl pissed. u either table serve e1 or dont. however unintentional it might be ppl might get offended. i wasnt really offended coz i was too busy watching the performance and loving the elegance of the place and me in it (im bimbotic like that)but i knw it isnt rite. thats why i always think call lesser ppl but make sure e1 has a blast.

iii) if tamil weddings can have tamil songs and malay weddings can have malay songs. y cant telugu weddings have telugu songs? and yea the mc did talk in telugu BEFORE speaking in english. afterall majority of the crowd were telugus.

iv) it takes sheer confidence to strut around in a saree+ accessories in bangsar and take the side-looks of all who are passing. but hey isnt that the essence of malaysia? variety. we are used to LBDs and tank tops in bangsar. but not sarees. its about time!. hahahah

v) if u x agree with something (of if ur just tagging along, in that case anythin goes =))have the guts to stand and leave or stay and fix it.

vi) indian weddings are awesome to 'ceroboh' coz families are so big anyway n u can always say ur a person's long lost aunty's daughter's husbands, cousin's wife's sister. and ppl might fall for it. or dont say anythin and ppl come up with their version of "this girl is related thru......"

nevertheless have a blessed marriage strangers! =)

ok this week has been crazy. but good crazzy.

Sunday-26/4
jas comes over n we finally decide to dance for aaja nachle for kalo's snageet (jas's sis). we complete 2 minutes of the song which is a major accomplishment for both of us-we rarely get non-coll related stuff done when we are together. then we sit around for lunch n watch a bit of tv. finally when she leaves we are feeling damn good bout ourselves =)

Monday-27/4
i cant stay in jas's hse on mon coz i've been out since exams ended (last wed)n jas cant come over. guess what? our half a sunday's work down the drain, no more nach-ing (dance-ing).

Wednesday- 29/4
maiyaan (oil ceremony) & mehndi. i dragged myself up at 6am, i swear i was stil; half dreaming while walking to the bathroom. dress up and drive n drive n drive till i reach jas's hse. guess what? jas is all glammed up n i'm looking my worst. in my defense, i din knw we had to dress up and i usually m not up to getting dolled up in the morning. besides me..everyone looked good. then we did the rangoli which turned out nice as well =) and the best part, i FORGOT to bring my clothes n saree to leave in ann's hse which means i have to carry all of it n travel by train the next day. *hits self on head hard*. what do i do? around 1, i drag ann and drive all the way back to gombak, get my stuff and drive all the way bak to kj n the entire time i'm roasting in hot afternoon sun. god thinking bout it makes me hot!
p/s: did i mention we danced n danced while waiting 4 kalo to get dressed after the oil ceremony? was fun :)

Thursday-30/4
Sangeet...good food, my dazzling blue saree.i like. my buddies ann n dev and and and....i tied saree for ann! ahhw i've taken that step in becoming an indian women.jas and feto were looking amazing and even kalo who was supposed to be dressed simple was glowing!. then the real fun started 4 me.. DANCE!!! god i love indian/punjabi weddings for the dance. i danced n danced n danced in my heels! n the dhol was so encouraging n just makes you move to the beat automatically. we even did a train dance all over the hall and accompanied jas to cash out from the men present (its a custom la). i 'kong' upon undoing my saree n wishing my mom goodnight.
p/s:lil did i knw my phone battery 'kong'd' as well.

Friday-1/5
mom screws me over for not answering my already dead phone. n i hear lectures for a good 2-3 hours about all the things which could happen to me because my phone died. then dad picks me us up 4 lunch in bangsar. food was so-so.

Saturday-2/5
kalo's wedding. may i add that i'm so proud of myself that i followed instructions and reached pj gurdwara without getting lost and early summore! ok the bride kalo is usually pretty but today she was just totally out-of-this -world kinda gorgeous. my head scarf was totally falling off my head coz smart ppl pin it to their hair which i obviously din. sheesh. overall the ceremony was ok and they are married!
oh and at night i follwed suha to this wedding dinner reception, but this deserves its own blog page.

Sunday- 3/5
Happy Birthday Kohilah!! i rush to music class in brickfields at 10. come home get ready for kohilah's bday lunch in ou. n rush out. like mati2 punya time-limit. and heres the best part, everyone except for yuv and i were late. yuv n i were not even on time we were early! but anyhow service at italiannies was terrible today. it took ages for just ice-lemon tea n water to arrive and don't even get me started on the food. anyhow its kohi's bday and was a pleasant lunch treat. after a desseart of strawberry cheesecake and some coffee-wateva cake. i came home n watched a slightly dragging telugu movie. and finally after havin an argument with my mom and giving her the game back, i'm blogging.

the comeback

its been days- ok an understatement- centuries since i've blogged but its not my fault really. ok first i had exams, then after that my mom had to go introduce me to this computer game which i am totally addicted to and ann lends me this book called 'a boy called it' (or maybe it was a 'child called it'..hhmm...anywayy) then i have this problem of blogging in my head that by the time i sit in front of the comp i think nothin i write beats the blog in my mind n thus i facebook instead. so as u can see its not really my fault :p.

pre-dating haloween!

in the days that pre-dates halloween,
four friends skip class to go to bangsar. they are
A, D, M & of course Pu. first they drop by HSBC to have
"authentic BAngsar cuisine"
then, they park in Bangsar Village coz there is a freakin yellow line everywer else!
and they walk to Czip Lee, then PArty shop.
its all HAloween in here, masks, spears, outfits, streamers, gooey-ooey stuff.!
A, D, M and Pu have fun trying on different masks and cam-whoring! Pu tries on this big Afro hair and is still lauffin at the thought! =D
then the awesome -foursome go to the Pet-Shop
Here, M and Pu stare at the chart with pictures of dogs and decide which they like best. Pu goes for Golden Retrievers, while M likes German Shepards. but they both
agree that bulldogs( and variations that look like it) aint nice.
A and D are looking at cats and A almost squeezes Pu's hands off at the sight
of persian kittens.
