My weekend

I can’t believe that I’m practically out every week since New Year’s! Knowing that I’m surprised my mother allowed me to stay out on Friday night. My mind has been hurting for the longest time and I just needed some time to myself. Managed to make plans to go watch a movie with a friend and decided since it’s going to be a late night movie, it’s good to stay out and have an all night fun. Due to unforeseen circumstances he had to cancel on me. I was damn frustrated because each time I plan something with this NUT something’s just seem to happen but then again I can’t complain much because I understand his reason of absence. What time do? Can’t do much now can I? Anyway during lunch hour I went and booked the room. Jacky and I met and we had Burger King for lunch in the room. About 2pm I left back to work and by 5.30 I was already back in the hotel room. I had my bath and managed to meet another friend for tea.

That afternoon I actually sms’d a friend asking him if he wanted to go for a movie but he replied that he’d be busy in Devi’s corner with his office mates and friends and in fact he invited me over. At first I thought he was joking but when I replied him asking if he was serious I was glad that he was indeed serious. Thank God I had my Jeans and my white short sleeve blouse to wear. So I got my friend to drop me off Devi’s corner by 9pm. It was really great to meet N again. I was afraid I might not recognize him because I’ve only met him once prior to this. Actually he’s the one I met at KL Sentral for lunch the Sunday on my way back from Klang. That was the date I had which till now I’ve not updated about it.

Anyway it was a good thing I went. I enjoyed every moment of it. I met a new friend called Sham. It was good. We were at Devi’s till 11pm and then left to Social. I was surprised many of my clubbing drinking friends did not know what Social was. I guess it’s true what G said, I’ve started the New Year by visiting Finnegan’s and may end up that way the whole year! Anyway ‘Social’ is a cool place just like Finnegan’s. They had really cool music, mostly 80’s that I can recall. It was definitely the first time I see a real life original pool table. If I’m not mistaken the place was crowded. N had this bottle of whisky with him. He asked if everyone in the table wanted Whisky with Ginger ale or tea. I was told that whiskey with ginger ale is good. Though I was tempted to have a sip but I managed to pull myself together and stayed away. I left the group about 12.45am to stop by the office for a while due to work and then joined the group at 3am in Devi’s again. N dropped me off by 5am in Cititel. Had two hours sleep and went to work by 8.15am.

By lunch time I was already falling asleep. Thank God I managed to finish whatever I wanted to in time. I reached home at 4.30, had ‘Rojak’ and had my bath and headed straight to bed. That was it. The next thing I knew it was already 10.30pm and my house was in darkness. Called my parents that instant to check on them and they were already nearing the house. Managed to open the house gates (they attended a cousin’s wedding and did not take the house key), got little updates of the wedding and then back to sack. The next thing I know it was already 9am Sunday and my dad waking me up to go to town to have breakfast!

I’ll say Sunday I spent the time just sleeping and looks like I’m still sleepy… geezzzzz….

It's finally over

The relationship I’ve been having for the past 5 months comes to an end today. Did I seriously have a boyfriend many will ask and I’m guilty as charged. Why did I not mention about him in the blog or to close friends will ask but then again I’ve got no answers to the question. Knowing me well, many people get very confused as to who I’m dating at the moment as there are many people whom I meet and loose within minutes that I guess friends are loosing track of the number of names I mention so decided this to be a surprise for I seriously though that this was going to be the ONE I live my entire life with so guessed let it be a mystery….

A was introduced to me by my family. So we went out. I kind a like him and my guess is that he liked me too. The problem was his mother. Well he’s Pentecostal and I’m a protestant. His mum eyes me like a hawk. I am not allowed to stay late at work or reach home after 8, I can’t even ‘lepak’ with my cousins….. This is all a little too much. I’ve told A many a times, in fact I tell him exactly where I am and what I do and who I hang out with but towards end of the day it’s most important what his mother thinks!!! He can better off marry his mum I thought and therefore let him decide our future and today morning he messages me and says “I think its best we live our separate ways”. I’m not disappointed as I saw it coming. Screw him anyway, I’m better off doing what I do best. If he has not seen the good in me I’m just so sorry for him. End of the day it’s his lost and not mine!

No idea what this post is all about

I’m traveling home now and I would say I’m rather late for today. Guess I can’t complain much that I’m blessed with a job while many people with higher qualifications and experiences are jobless out there. This young couple in front of me captures my thoughts for now. I know for sure that they are not married nor are they engaged. The girl is having her ice-cream while the guy is on the phone. Shortly she started showing her teeth to her other half while he replies “nah, you’re alright”, and she continues licking her McDonalds ice-cream. They were rather cute I would say but the question that’s leaving a big question mark in my mind is “how long you think this would last?”

Sorry to be very negative thinking here. For all we might know they could end up together but still it’s a question mark in my head. I have many friends who are divorced, married but not happy whom I call them MBA’s and some does not even want to consider commitment either because they feel they’ve grown that old or simply because they are all afraid of commitment.

I wish I can tell the single and afraid ones that I’m available but I think its best not to appear desperate but actually the person is. Anyway that’s complicated so let’s get back to the initial story…….

I look at it this way… two people madly in love, gets married, has kids and one day when everything is suppose to fall right in place suddenly BAM!!, takes the ‘tornado’ turn! Love which seems like a blossoming garden suddenly is equalized as the Sahara desert. Could the desert bloom a garden in it again? I guess that answer will depend on how deep the wound is! I guess this is one of the reasons the elderly experienced people always advice us to never ever trust our spouse or other half till the very end of their lives or your life!

Divorce I believe is equally as bad as loosing the one you love before marriage. A friend calls me a cynic to love. She says she senses my hate, annoyance, irritating and jealousy whenever I’m surrounded with couples. Seriously I feel that I’m normally but she doesn’t. For all those who go through a bad relationship before marriage I believe is considered blessed for they have not really lost everything. I wonder why I posted this now… I must be missing my ex I guess……

Day 3…. Fraser’s Hill (Home Sweet Home)

Uncle Aravind, aunty and their son Hem Raj left earlier than the rest of us. Though our check out was from 9 -11 am, but I guess it was too boring for the annoying nephew of uncle’s that he kept bugging me to call the caretakers and say we have to leave early. Anyway I managed to leave at 8.30am. So much for bugging to leave early, sadly we were caught and delayed. There seem to be landslides and therefore the authorities have rationed the hours of going down or climbing up the hill. So we were told that our gates to move down will only be opened at 10am! There goes everything. Annoying nephew got bored and started fiddling with his laptop. Anyway it was a good stop. Some of us trespassed the primary school today for nature called it’s day!. Prakash then made a comment “we should have made those sandwiches”. I could have guessed he was very hungry. Anyway we reached home by afternoon. I was damn hungry when I reached home too. Mum managed to heat up the leftovers the night before. After lunch I headed straight to bed and only got up at 9pm. Thankfully the next day was a public holiday for my company due to the public holiday falling on Saturday. This was definitely a good rest for me.

I really enjoyed every moment of my trip I will say. The drive down was giving me a dizzy feeling ironically I did not feel anything while we were going up! It must be because when I was going to Fraser’s I followed Uncle Aravind whom I was surprised that he was a very cautious and caring and calm driver. Unlike his nephew whom I think would have wrongly made a profession in sales when he should have auditioned for Formula One! Anyway can’t wait for the next holidays. Shall plan sometime soon……………..

DAY TWO – Fraser’s Hill

I could hardly sleep the whole night. Praveena and I sat at the balcony till close to 1.30am. It was really cold because it has been raining the whole night on. The cold warm chilling wind did not scare us but in fact we really enjoyed every minute of it. Well of course we had girl talks. A part of me I’m assured that she trusts me and therefore we just sat and talked a lot of stuffs which I consider to be personal. It was truly a nice experience of her talking about her current relationship while I compared notes as to how it was when I was dating my ex! Seriously it was truly a road down memory lane. To add things, Praveena’s brother is an 80’s music lover… absolutely beautiful. Songs that not only reminded me of my life but more as to my feelings when I was loved the way I wanted to be loved.

Anyway I did not catch much sleep. I slept at the hall yet I’m not complaining. Wished I had a bear next to me because it was freaking cold. Anyway I was up when uncle Aravind and aunty got up at about 6.30am. It was easy to get up because the house was more like a kampung house all made from wood except for the kitchen. Again I assure that I’m not complaining. Well I’d say it was a good package and bargain for RM10.00. Tried to help aunty in the kitchen but was eventually chased away with a ‘Parang’ (big knife used to chop chicken).

I tried to blog from Fraser’s but writing out my innermost thoughts down but kept getting interrupted from the night before. Everyone was making fun as to what I was writing. Everyone was just trying to get a peak at what I’ve written while I’m like almost stuck all the time. Thankfully I managed to capture some interesting images which would help me write some things now. Last night aunty made nasi lemak with friend chicken. Today lunch we had chicken curry (made by auntie’s cousin) with sizzling tofu kicap. Morning was western breakfast –sausages, burger meat and also baked beans. I don’t really like baked beans so I just had my share of the sausages and burger meat. Dinner, well I just had the chicken curry with bread. I had not been feeling so good. Guess what!! The irritating cousin is back tonight! Am I happy to see him? No but I did feel that the life was back in town. We had a small boy’s birthday celebration that evening. After all was done, Praveena and I cleaned the kitchen but not as perfect as her mother would have done of course.

Hem Raj (Praveena’s awfully quiet brother), Prakash (the irritating cousin), Praveena and I were out at the balcony just talking for a while. Then Praveena said she was tired and retiring for the day. Well I thought it would be weird for me to sit all by myself with these men and also excused myself. That night, Praveena and I were in the room cramming with Priyanka and Sonia.

That was end of Day 2………… it has been raining the whole day.

DAY ONE... Fraser’s Hill

I’ve been working in my company for the past 4 plus years now. My company has its own rest houses in certain parts in Malaysia. I’ve never really had a holiday away from parents before, well of course besides visits to my uncle’s house in Klang. Anyway it all started when we had new neighbours, Uncle Aravind and family. They have 2 girls and 1 son. Well the eldest girl works in KLCC while her mother in PJ. I follow them everyday back home. Somehow we’ve become close like a family. Compared to my family members I guess I’ve grown to be rather close to them.

So there was this once uncle asked me if I could book the company rest house so we all can go for a holiday. Surprisingly my parents approved the idea! I just could not believe my ears at that point. Anyway I did apply for the bungalows in Fraser’s and adding another surprise! I got the bungalow from 19th January to the 21st. I would say I was lucky because it’s the public holiday weekend.

The summary of my whole trip is that it was really good. We reached at about 3.30pm that Friday and the balcony had this view of mountains with gentle air breeze running through my delicate skin – a noble winner for best moments of my life. At the beginning I was a little shy and off because firstly I had no reception to my 012 line. That was really frustrating and secondly I have indeed missed home being apart from the usual noisy, hot environment. I guess there is a part in life some things have to change. It’s time I had a little change too …. Probably it would be good.

Day one was just really fun and cool. Along the trip I met an irritating character who was uncle’s nephew. He was talking ghost stories and I called him a liar. His immediate reaction “you hardly know me and you’re calling me a liar!” Well it all started there. I would say he was annoyingly cute. Haiyoooooo don’t think anything… Married guy la!! He has 2 really hot looking daughters. Haiyo don’t look like that again la…. Small kids’ la dei!, but all I can say is a well candidate for a bollywood actress someday….. They are young but damn cute and sweet. They have the daddy’s big charming eyes. As for uncle Aravind and his family I’ve got nothing to complain for they have been close like a family otherwise my parents would definitely have not sent me with them. The things to think of uncle will be the orange cloth he was wrapping himself with at the balcony due to the cold wind which I named the cloth (MGR’s cloak). That was utterly cute because uncle just laughed, not forgetting some serious questions like “Do you miss home?” and “tell us la what you are writing”. I’d say those were the lines used by uncle which I’d never forget. I think everyone was a little worried if I was having fun or not because I was a little tired and quite. The truth is it’s not because of anything but I had visitors that day! (If you know what I mean)!

Anyway total of 12 of us went for this trip. Auntie’s cousin and his family joined us plus Priyanka’s friend Sonia also joined us. I thanked my lucky stars that the annoying one did not stay over. He just drove up to send us all. But now that he has left home everything seem so quiet! I wonder if it was a wise decision to hate him that much.

Anyway End of day ONE!

Traumatized

I stayed the whole night awake not knowing how to sleep. Each time I closed my eyes I saw 3 guys with Turban’s flashing like negatives in my eyes. It’s because just hours before that I saw 3 Punjabi guys in turban making out at broad daylight at the entrance to a housing area. Just to assure my readers that I’m not against any race but I’m just blogging exactly what I really saw and my experience of it and I’m very sorry if I have offended anyone along this blog. At the beginning I thought a guy was being bashed down and then later thought perhaps they were all just taking a leak but I just went speechless when I saw what I actually saw. A guy was bent down while another guy behind him is moving in motions, front and back. Well we see dogs making out and we roughly can guess the actions and oh my GOD!!! It was all guys! What are they thinking!!!? Making out at broad daylight, though behind bushes but visible to people in the main road because we were all practically crawling due to the normal routine traffic jam!!? How can people be so stupid and desperate I thought to myself!!

Anyway this morning my friend Suresh called and I told him the whole story. He laughed and said “you’ve not been traumatized but more like Turbanized”. It was so funny for him to think something like that in an instant and thought I should blog it. Hopefully today I don’t see those morons and be able to catch some sleep before I take my trip to Fraser’s Hill with my neighbours.

Centenary Celebration (Part Two)

Anyway when the clock struck 12midnight we all stopped and wished my cousin Janet “Happy Birthday”. Her birthday and the centenary dinner were on the same date! Anyway it was good overall and back we headed to sleep. As usual we had minimal sleep because my cousin and I were exchanging notes. I was very impressed she trusted me by telling me what her boyfriend messaged her that morning at the mamak shop. I’ll say I’m happy that my cousin trusts me. I guess it’s true what people say, trust is not something you ask but it’s something you’ve earned. It feels really good.

Anyway Saturday morning my uncle dropped me and my cousin Janet in the saloon. Yup I ironed my hair just for the occasion. Anyway my cousin left early while I was at home lazing watching Judging Amy. It’s so sad that it’s already the grand finale of the series. My uncle bought nasi ayam and that was really filling. It was almost 3pm and I got ready to have my shower. This is the joke I did not know the shower was broken and when I opened the tap, there it fell straight on my hair! Geezz there goes my RM25!!!! Thank God it was just the front portion either way it was spoilt no point crying over it. Managed to dry it and by 5pm we left to the dinner hall which was held in the Klang Executive Club.

I would say the whole evening was just moderate. It was not as grand as the Dinner and Dance night. My cousin and I started exchanging notes the night. I had someone looking at me and commenting “you look really elegant and sweet”. I was truly surprised at that comment because I thought I was underdressed for that occasion. A comment like that from the person I admire was truly something that made me feel good. The summary of the whole event was good. My table won the table draw which we all got 1 free ticked for a TGV movie. Gee I wonder what movie shall I go and watch and with who? Anyway my cousin got a DVD radio player and later when we got home we found out that actually that ticket number was her boyfriend’s. Gee, luckily she was sweet enough to give him the prize which I doubt I would have done something sweet like that! Yeah call me stingy and mean!, but then again you might not know and so wouldn’t I. Again we slept late, almost 4am. Anyway it was good that we managed to rush to church the next day.

After church we just had a lepak session, all cousins and of course my cousin’s boy was there too. At 11am Sandy (Janet’s boy) dropped me off at the Klang commuter station. There I was taking the train back. But I had a stop…. And where did I stop? Well that’s for another blog……….

Centenary Celebration of St Barnabas Klang (Part One)

I can’t believe I’m actually attending a 100th year celebration of something! At first I did not feel like going but since my cousins and uncle were the main leaders and organizers, I thought why not… after all it’s going to be something like the Dinner and Dance night they organized in 2005 and FUN was the only reflection when my dad bought the ticket for me.

So Friday I reached Klang at 6.30pm. My uncle fetched me from the commuter station. It was good. We had this talks catching up with what’s happening and all. I had my bath and by 8.00pm we left to the church because my cousins and uncle have this one last meeting before the event. While they were at the meeting, my aunty and I had a stroll and shopped for a pair of slippers for I did not realize mine was broken. Since I was using Punjabi suit, it was only fair to look of appropriate sandals as closed shoes would not suit and attire of such. Thankfully I managed to find this sandals which fit my leg and at reasonable price. My tummy was already rumbling due to hunger yet I have to wait for my cousins and uncle to be done because I owe them all a treat. It’s a small agreement my uncle and I have. I know its funny when people read this blog to understand how can uncles and nieces have bargains and agreements when it comes to food and all but that’s they way my uncle and me work. I’d not deny that it’s weird but I’ll say I enjoy it and it has always brought us stronger. People change at one point especially as they grow older but some things about me will always be the same. Okay back to the event.

Anyway that night we ended at the mamak near my uncle’s house at 11.30pm. We had dinner or we shall call it supper for many. I ordered Maggie goreng ayam. It was just what I needed since the last meal was breakfast at 11.00am. ……… end of Friday………..

My Saturday (Again)

I can’t believe my long written blog about my Saturday just vanished into cyber space. Who am I to blame? Is it the cyber world or the earthquake in Taiwan? I guess I’ll just have to blame myself for having over confidence on this unreliable system. So here I am rewriting everything. Hopefully it is as good as or better than the previous post.

So it’s Saturday and everyone is asleep but I’m stuck at work. It’s already sad enough that we don’t get paid anything to work but I guess some things just never change! Work is Work and whether you like it or not you just got to DO! So I worked my ass off till about 4.00pm. At 4.15 my dad picked me up and we drove to Banting for my niece’s 21st Birthday function. I’m 28 this year and I have a big niece!!! Gee it didn’t strike me in the beginning but it does now. Well anyway Karen is my cousin’s daughter. The whole thing is just so cute. I have other nieces and nephews. The cutest part of it all is that all of them call me either Chitti (mother’s sister) or Athai (father’s sister). A part of me becomes old at that point of time but I did not mind one bit because I feel like I’m respected and love. I know it all sounds too weird but I guess it’s just a nice fuzzy feeling I have. The food was great, the music and the people were all just great. My cousin really did pull up a great gathering for his daughter I would say. I will admit there were many cute guys… but sad no one my age!! All thambis (younger brothers) la… Cheh!! Sad Sad… hehehe Anyway that’s what cuci mata is all about right?

Overall I will say that my niece who is taller than me looked great with her black gown. She looked really pretty! I have a picture of me and her. For now it will be on my friendster account since blogging picture’s here is a little too complicated for me. Anyway I shall try my level best. It was good to see my other cousin’s boyfriend attending family functions. I guess Sandy is now officially announced to be a part of the family since my aunty and uncle have officially announced that Sandy will be the future son in law! I’m so happy for them both. It’s cute that I learnt a secret about Sandy from my cousin. It seems he snores a lot. Hehehe I told them I’ll get them a muffler as a wedding present. He was annoyed but in a rather cute way.

Next week Saturday I’ll be in Klang for the 100th year celebration of St.Barnabas church. What happens then will be another blog.

I got home at 10.30pm on Saturday. It was a nice great outing with my cousins and loved ones. Can’t wait for next week’s gathering!

Cheers all…

My Saturday

I asked a good friend how did he start his New Year's and he replied "With my loved ones". When paused the same question back I told him I got drunk. He then replied, "good la, this is how you are going to spend your 2007... being drunk 3/4 of the year". I was so pist mad with him. Thankfully it was a phone conversation and not a life one or I'd sure to have kick his butt.

When I got home I started thinking about what he said and I realized I'm NOT going to be drunk 3/4 of the year but I'm going to be in church 3/4 of the year because I started my New Year not being drunk but more of being in Church!. Gosh..... me being an angel!? I'm sure many toes are laughing at this moment! If only they knew me! Hehehehehehe

Love you all....

and G, I'm no DRUNK! :)

History Created by Friends for 2007

HAPPIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! Wow so fast 2006 passed. I just got back today at 4.00am. Church took that long this year. The whole service was funny. We have a new priest and things were different. I managed to catch the fire crackers high in the air from the back balcony of the church. I would say it was all good. To my surprise even my praise and worship leading was a success. Big HIT! What a blessing to start the New Year in church.

Well I got up at almost 9.00am and saw a message from my friend Suresh asking me what time we (Anita, Suresh and Me) are meeting? Immediately I called him to tell him I just got up and he was surprised because he was already all set to meet. Anyway managed to tell my mother I’m leaving early and so I took the 11am train. Suresh was waiting for me and Anita in Midvalley. He managed to book the tickets for the movie “A night at the Museum”.

So it was 12pm when Anita met Suresh and me at the food court. I had watermelon juicy. Yummy! Now we had a situation. It was time for lunch. I’m known for being the queen of fast food or Indian food. I don’t eat anything else but fast food most of the time. There I sat being lectured by both of my good friends as to what type of person can I be, without even trying any other food like Spanish, Italian, Thai and etc. I’ve been getting this nagging since 2006 and thought yeah why not I just shut my mouth and thoughts by agreeing to have Thai food. So we went to this Thai restaurant in Midvalley. It was good. Though I’ll admit the Tom Yam was too spicy for me. But it was alright.

After lunch it was time for the movie. The movie was hilarious. I’d say this movie is definitely something you got to watch! Before the movie started I just whispered towards Suresh saying, “thank you for lunch” and he replied “you’re most welcome”. That was my candid moment of one to one with Suresh, not forgetting the things I went through to keep this guy from sleeping in the theatre.

Okay now comes the biggest History in my entire life. I’m not bragging here or anything like that but this is the truth. I’ve never had wine nor drank beer or any alcohol in my whole entire life. After the movies, we took a drive to Sri Hartamas and ended up in Finnegan’s. I can’t believe myself that I, a person who has not touched alcohol before in her entire life had 3 glasses of white wine! I remember feeling very sleepy while in my second glass. My head just dropped down towards the table while Suresh was trying to keep me awake.

I drove home and reached home by 9.00pm. Thought of heading straight to bed but thought I should blog first. My father is already giving me that look that he smells something fishy with me. Anyway time to sleep. My friends are right; they have indeed created history in my life. Wonder if I can ever trust them again……………………………………. But they both still are angels to my heart!

Love you guys!
