Not sure what to call this Blog!

It’s Friday. It’s been a week now since I had my fall and my bum still aches. I think I need to get an X-ray done! Well initially the medicine given by my doctor was working well but knowing my itchy head did some major jumping and also sit ups two days ago that I think it had aggravate the pain. Someone up there must be really cruel to me because when I’m beginning to be weight conscious everything I want to do seem to be getting me into trouble! Geezzzzz

So many things have been happening the past 2-3 days. Wednesday my best friend called me up to say that her boyfriend had proposed to her. Being in shocked at that point of time I just told her I was not feeling well and hang the phone down. Sms’d 2 friends of mine asking them why is it her happiness hurts me to the utmost; they just had the same thing to reply. I knew my friend was dating but never knew the proposal was coming by anywhere near! Anyway I called her yesterday to tell her that I’m sorry I was indeed shocked and that I’m happy for her. I guess that cleared everything. At this point I’m feeling kind of desperate to be hitched but I guess it’s just a normal phase I’m going through. As my cousin sister said when I confided in her “you’re 28 and we’re Indians and knowing your mum… it’s only the normal phase”.

Weirdly, my dad knew I was down on Wednesday that he offered me a glass of wine! That was definitely weird, for my dad never ever allow alcohol in the house but I knew he knew I was hurting from something deep within. I drank 1 glass and I hear my mother’s voice at the living room yelling her way on. After the wine session with my dad I just hugged him and tucked myself in bed. Yesterday my dad offered me another glass but I passed because I’m on a diet and therefore thought wine would make things worst so I declined very politely and kissed my dad on his cheek. I think it made him feel good because he had that very cute innocent stare at me at that point of time.

There was a blackout at my housing area from 11pm till this morning 5am! Grrrr and I am so sleepy and grumpy. I’ve lost my voice which makes it great. Hope I have a productive weekend and lots of rest!

Day two since Ash Wednesday without rice… I’m pretty impressed with myself! Let’s just see how far this goes!

Back to work after a long HOLIDAY!!!!

Today back to the office after a long break. To add things worst I’m having very bad flu, cough and fever. I guess it must be the water or something to do with my trip because my boss seems to be having flu as well. He was in the camp with me. Anyway, so much work to do. Just can’t believe how much work there is. Gosh I have to start my engine soon in order to be back on track. Anyway ‘Ghost Rider’ was a good movie. Had lunch at Kenny Rodger’s that day and after movie went for ‘teh tarik’ in Devi’s corner. Overall it was good.

Yesterday night I went to Joyce’s house for about 30 minutes. Jessy was there. I was not at the usual spot because I was having the flu. Anyway not my usual today and gosh it’s only 10am!

First Day of Chinese New Year

So today is Chinese New Year. Happy Chinese New people. I went to the doctor for a second opinion yesterday and he has added more medication for me. He warned me that if the pain persists then I may have to get a jab next Friday. Just keeping my fingers crossed that nothing is too serious till I got to have a jab.

Anyway after church today I told my parents that I was going for Chinese New Year celebration and they dropped me off KL Sentral. I took the train to Mid Valley and just bought tickets for two shows which were ‘Music and Lyrics’ for the 11.15am show and ‘Norbit’ for the 2.30pm show. It was really cool to watch a back to back movie after a long time. The last back to back was with Jenny when we went for “My Super Ex Girlfriend” and “Click”.

I remember Suresh calling me and asking me what mischief I’ve been up to. Hehe. It was truly so cute. Anyway I had a good break. After the first movie I had KFC and then headed back for the second movie. It was cool. Anyway tomorrow I’m off to watch “Ghost Rider” with Jessy and Shamini. You guys think I’m crazy? Hehehe welcome to knowing me now. Good day.

Trekking Experiance

The past two days have been hectic. We got to retire from last night only at 11.55pm. By the time we girls got our bath and headed the bed it was close to 1.00am. Just when you dream of that thought of final relaxation, suddenly we were wakened up with a loud sound of bell. Gosh it was time to get up for our jungle trekking adventure. We all gathered in our groups at the assembly ground by 2.30am and were given detailed information about our trekking.

Guess what? We actually trekked without lights! Our hand phones were confiscated and our only guidelines were some reflecting red lights. It was a very cool and scary adventure I would say. At first I wanted to pass the trekking experience but thought what adventure I’d be missing so decided to trek. It was truly an adventure. Can you imagine, trekking in your group with no surveillances, no guides, it’s just you and the road. You don’t know when you’d be passing a hole pathway or hiking or if there are rocks and river in front of you. So cute how a few facilitators just planted themselves on certain pit stops just to ensure the contestants are not cheating by having a torch light with them or hand phones. It was scary when the facilitators purposely just made owls noise just to scare us. Anyway we walked in groups and I’m glad I had good supportive group members who really understood that I’m wounded and they really cared for me.

The first half of the trekking took us 40 minutes till we came to a pit stop. Here we all gathered and waited for the Malay prayers time. While waiting some people just dozed off at the give matt. At about 7.15am we were given Maggie Mee and egg to cook on our portable truly camping stoves. There were nothing but just charcoal and a container to cook. The best was that after that we had to eat using the small branches because no spoons or folk was provided. It was truly a survival camp. After that about 8.15am we continued our jungle trekking. Everything was so cool I would say. We had to walk through tunnels, cross highways; I got stuck in the muddy areas. It was all cool. Even the fact how we got conned in not succeeding the mission of the track towards end of the day was so funny. Over all it was a good trip! There’s a lot to tell but I don’t think the memories can be blogged here. Perhaps someday I can tell you the story.

It’s almost 11pm now. I’m home and got MC for tomorrow. My back is truly swollen. Anyway I’m not happy with the doctor. Shall go for a second opinion tomorrow with my panel doctor. Just so glad that finally the camp is all over and today is a night for me with my pillows and blanket and bolster……….. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Valentine oh Valentine!

I remember last year I spent this day with Joyce where we watched two movies back to back. “Derailed” and “Prime”. This year I did plan to take the day off till my MD told my boss that I’m off no excuse and need to join the Camp.

Anyway I had a gift from the man above! I slipped and hurt my backbone. Right at the anus bone! Ouch… Now I can’t sit nor can I stand without having a bad pain. I feel a hump there… my guess would be that it’s swollen. I think I’ll pass jungle trekking tomorrow.

It’s my 27th Valentine’s Day and for the first time I’m stuck in a place with no entertainment, no phone line, no friends and no luxury of life! Totally lonely in this survival camp. Luckily I still could manage to send sms to some of my friends from my room because that’s the only place I could get reception. I’m very surprise that Ish (My long lost friend) called. It was truly funny because when I told him I’m stunned he called, he just replied “I knew I better call before I get a long lecture from you”. He he. So cute how he knows me so well. I also managed to speak to Anita and Suresh but Suresh had forgotten about talking to me but he remembers talking to Anita. He he, signs of growing old I guess! Can’t blame him. It’s just so sad Suresh is in Tawau and may not be down for Chinese New Year… there goes my hopes of meeting him.

Anyway a question I ask myself always is how I would want to spend my Valentine’s Day. How do I have everything without making my husband or boyfriend spend a lot knowing how prices of things are hiked up during Valentine’s. Maybe he can buy the roses and gifts two days before the day and keep it fresh and then on Valentine’s midnight present it to me. Maybe take a day off and go for an early movie where there would be less crowd and then head back for a romantic candle light dinner at home. It could be something cooked together or take away. There’s nothing like finishing the night with the finishing touch of strawberries and ice-creams for desserts. Perhaps white wine or champagne could be ideal too.

Gosh I can’t wait to feel it all. A question deep in my head, would I be lucky enough to feel love or not? I just hope there is someone for me to call my own for I’m someone who will just die fast being lonely.

I quote a sms which I received from my cousin “Love makes life so confusing and difficult but without love, would you want to live? Without you I cannot breathe also because my heart always and will always be with you”. Who ever you may be, May love find us soon. Happy Valentine’s Sweetie.

To all my friends and cousins and relations and readers, A blessed Valentine’s to you all too.

Cheers

Jati Diri and Survival Camp

I feel like I’m in a trans. It was just yesterday that I was sleeping in a suite at the Boulevard hotel and today I’m in this irritating and annoying camp. I don’t understand one thing for sure, this is supposed to be a course held for the Bumi’s yet they drag us non bumi’s in the picture. Damn! And there are no phone lines here. Just great! Gosh and this is only the first day man!!!! Anyway I’m in Kelab Warisan in Air Keroh, Melaka for a Jati Diri camp.

Graduation

Today I stand as a graduate in Nikko Hotel. As it is I’m annoyed that my second brother did not attend the graduation! As a substitute we took my cousin Angel for it. Everything was great. The family photo I planned for was cancelled and I took an individual one. Met some of my classmates but they just ignored me. End of the day I don’t care what others think or feel or say for I’m proud to say I’ve graduated despite the hardship I went through in getting my certificate. My mother hugged me and kissed me in so much adoration. It was as if she was in a trans. I know she was very proud of me. My dad was totally speechless only trying to hint to me that he wants to take more pictures with me.

I was sure my mum was in a Trans when she gave me the green light to do my Masters. She somehow came out of it while we were driving home saying “your next plan is to reduce weight, find a boy and get married and THEN you can do your Masters!” Very typical of my mum I thought.

Anyway I was glad to have met my Vice Chancellor finally. I would comment that he was damn cute for an old man with great sense of humour. I was also surprised that the graduation was not only for my college but 7 other colleges too. My eyes were just drooling all over for there were many cute guys! Anyway back to the vice chancellor. He shared with us a very nice meaningful story that I thought I’d share here with you guys. Here it goes…..

Once a professor took an empty jar and filled it with rocks till the jar was full and then asked his students if the jar was full. The students all nodded their head in agreement. The professor later brought some small pebbles and filled the jar, again asking the students if the jar was full, they just nodded in agreement. Finally the professor brought some sand and filled the jar saying “It is only now the jar is truly full”. The moral of the story is that the jar resembles our life. The stones are actually the important things and people in our life such as our parents, spouses, girlfriend, boyfriend, siblings, friends and food just to name a few. The pebbles are the other important things in our life such as job, education and house for example. While the sand talks more on the entertainment side of life. In our life, if we look after our stones - look after our family by spending time with them and also by making them the priority in our lives then you’ll see the love and support they bring will just bring in the pebbles and sand to make your life full.

Just then a student opened a can of beer and poured the beer in the jar and then said “It is actually only now that the jar is truly full”. The real moral of this story is that, no matter how busy in life, a can of beer will always fill your life!

You all have a nice day…………..

Movie Yesterday

So I'm back at work today. My head's still spinning and I wonder if I really to go for another check up or not!? Anyway yesterday I went to watch "The Holiday" with my cousin. Sadly my date canceled on me. I'm so furiously mad at him for cancelling. As it is I've not seen him in a long time. Anyway some idiots are just meant to be that way I guess. Anyway there's a lot of things in that movie that I can relate to my life. At some point I'm like Amanda and most of that time I'm like Iris. Jude Law was so damn freaking cute there!

Anyway a good movie to go and watch. Can't be giving synopsis here or you'd not go! SO GO GO GO!!!! (smiles)

Trip to Ipoh

Last Sunday after church my parents dropped me off at Puduraya. From there, I made my way to find the Transnasional Bus platform that leaves to Lumut. Upon arriving I was suprised to hear from the other passengers that the Lumut bus does not stop at Batu Gajah! Damn, feeling so panic at that moment I quickly made my way to the information counter of Transnasional. There I was told the same thing. Thankfully I managed to get a ticket to Ipoh with a bus company called the Bunga Raya. Well whatever it was I'm just glad to have gotten a ticket.

Left KL at 11.00 and reached Simpang Pulai by 2.15pm. My cousin who was expecting me at Medan Gopeng was restless when I told him I was in Simpang Pulai Police Station! Hehe, that was actually the landmark as to where I was standing. So he picked me up at 2.45pm and there we headed to my aunty Veda's house. Dumped my tummy with spicy chicken with vege and rice and at 3.45, my cousin took me to visit Klang Mama ( He is in ipoh but i call him klang mama), Pandi mama, and Kanne chitti's house. My Kanne chitti's daughter Angeline is following me back to KL for a week.

Anyway at 6.30pm my cousin Sly picked me up and dropped me off at the Subramaniam temple to attend Sivennes akka's engagement. Engagement was suppose to be at 7.01pm but hardly saw any crowd. Managed to eye Puvanes (Sivennes's sister) from the corner and then met her mother. Shortly Puvanes asked "Shall we go and see the bride?", I was so excited and agreed. Sivennes looked so cute in her green and orange saree and then later she dressed into her santhename colour plus red saree. Her make up was natural so I was salute to that because the main thingy for bride is their make up. I managed to yack with her for about 30min and then left her at peace. While I had my seat at the hall I got a call from my friend Suresh. It was so funny. The funny thing is that he has 2 phones. Apparently now one of it is with his mother so he just asked me and also to tell Anita not to call him at the number his mother has because he got into hot soup with his mother when one of his friends sms'd that number. The cutest part was when I questioned him about the girl, the way he explained about her was all so cute to me. I guess it's something you'd not understand unless you are a girl whose's a sentimental fool (smiles).

Anyway after talking to him for almost 20 minutes, I got myself inside the hall again. Everything was so cute about the couple. From the time they sat down till the time of taking pictures. I will say they both are benchmarks for innocence. Anyway after dinner my aunty picked me up and we ended up in her in laws for a while then headed home. It's so cute how my uncle has grown up to be a very sporting old man, not to forget very cheeky as well.

Monday me and my cousin took the 5am bus to KL. I boarded her on the train to my house while I got my ass back to work. That day was rather slow I will say. I was too sleepy to do anything.

Anyway I'm on MC today because pressure seem to be very high. So time to sleep and rest. Tomorrow I'm on leave. PLanning to go for a movie with my cousin and Baby Phil @ Baby Boy (read my old posts and you will know him). Can't wait to meet him tomorrow. Of course my mother thinks I'm going with a whole bunch of people... Managed to tell her that I'm going with Anita. hehe. I know I'm no saint!.

New Look

After much considerations and approval seekings from Dewan Rakyat (Father) and Dewan Parlimen (Mother), finally I was given the green light to change my hair style. Lately my long curly, freezy, wavy hair has been a burden to me. My hair just drops while I comb my hair. I decided if this continues I might get up being bald someday.

I left to the salon at 10am in the morning and only reached home at 5.30pm!. And the first comment I got from my dad was, "You look like a donkey!". So much for seeking approval I thought to myself. Anyway I trimmed a little and also straightened my hair. I will not disagree with my dad that it does looks a little awkward. Well can't help it. It's just the first day of straightening, it is a norm that it looks all flat. The maintainence for the next 3 days is going to be mad. I can't wet my hair nor can I sweat. Gee there goes my dreams of exercising to look fit for my graduation next week!. What has been done can't be unwind I guess. So no point regretting and asking questions like WHY, WHAT, WHEN and all.

I better go get my things ready for tomorrow's trip to Ipoh. So excited. I think it's going to be a day I haver very little sleep today. I've got to pick my brother up from KL Sentral at 12.30am tomorrow because he's taking the last flight from Sabah to KL. OKay need to go and pack now. Shall update more later.

Two special people celebrate their birthday on the 12th. Not sure I'll have the chance to meet either of them. But I guess I’ll call them to wish them.

I’m not sure if I’m happy at this happening 2007 for me or not. In a way it all seem to heavy because it’s a drastic change overnight. I guess I’ll just have to make a weekend to ponder and digest everything that has happened and will be happening this year. Until then I’m just not sure what to feel.
