warning. long long long long long post.
hey there!well well so sorrie for e long absence..there's just been so much to do and so many things out there for me to complete before i start a new sem tmr *gasp*
well im now 2-1. I JUST FEEL OLD. hahaha was watching dhool and they all look so young. sigh. there was a time where i was actually dancing in dhool. hahahahha. time for me to act responsibily. so my next aim -> get a tatoo. hahahaha. seriously.
my actual birthday was ok. small and quiet and spent it with the people who matter. thanks for those who remembered my day. :) esp sunitha. who waited till 12mn and called all the way from aussie. had a good 20 min chat with her. miss that cow. and to 3 very special people who made my day. i was beginning to think nothing special was going to happen. and that sucked. esp since i have done so much for others.(ok so the expectations thing was going down the drain abit there). but u guys turned the day around and made me realise, i have just these few people who realli know what i want. and that's enough.
well the much awaited PARTY came and went! it was realli good! this was the time i realli saw all those people i haven seen in ages. mp, yx, dar and wanrou. wow those guys realli, have been there the longest. hahahaha. im so glad we're trying to get in touch again. my crescent friends, my jc friends, my nus friends, my irc peeps, , ebians. the guys, everyone. it was just great seeing them that day. and you all looked damn good in yr RETRO do. hahahahaha. im just so touced that so many people out there sacrificed so much for MY BIRTHDAY! it was a much needed ego-boost. hahahhaha.
thanks for everything guys seriously.
thanks sangithah for sacrificing so much, for co-ordinating the dance, for everything,

thanks meenal, for providing all e support, the timeless shopping, the constant smses asking if i needed help, helping me coordinate for praga n shafiq and all.
thanks all of u who came, for sharing this special night with me.
and thanks to all those who couldnt come, but wished me :)
there was some sourness as well, but i really hope we work through that and come out as better people. it's just a shame to throw it away. noone's at fault. there's just tooooo many misunderstandings, lost conversations and assumptions.
i admit, im hurt as well, cuz these are the people i consider to be one of the closest to my heart, and when they forget about yr 21st birthday, when they dun bother when i have done so much for their 21st, trying to make it special, it pricks.
but life is not just about who remembers yr birthday and who celebrates it with you. its about who sticks with u and who remains there through the good and bad. they have. so yes, we all deserve another time. its time to throw away all the demons building up inside, its time to stop blaming, its time to confront all the anger and hurt and come out as better people and more importantly, better friends.
my birthday photos just came by today, and by the time i scan them all in will be a million years. im trying to ask the photographer for a digital format but till then, i will try to upload whatever my friends have, by stealing from them. i loved my dress and punjabi suits, and so did many others judging from the many sms-es askin me where i got them [daniel yam for the short dress, v2 creation for the suit. HAPPY?!]
BUT i was not too happy with the way i looked, cuz i thought i looked genourmous. then i realised, i didnt LOOK genourmous, i HAVE BECOME GENOURMOUS. sighh...
but oh wells, ive decided STRICTLY, this is unhealthy, all the binge eating and only excercising once a week for one hour at dance. so yes, its time to turn health freak again. yes again.
once upon a time, i was a health freak. i ran twice a week, went to the gym once, on top of dance, kept track of what i ate. and my running was long distance mind you. not those 3-4 Kms, but more like 6-8 Km. yes, there was a time i could run more than the distance from my house to the bus stop. i wasn't slim. i was still plum, but i was healthy. my weight was dropping, and if i had kept up with it, i probably will be very happy with my body size now. but the demons of laziness and excuses took over and i stopped. and once i stopped, it was so difficult to start over. but i AM going to start over. i NEED to. Navina pointed to my tummy, patted it and said "hello baby" which is what she says to my preganant sis's tummy. so i NEED to.
after the party (it ended at 1 30am), i went home and yoges and her bf came over while i cleaned my house then unwrapped some of my presents. oh gosh, thanks guys for everything! i got almost everything on my list!!! hahaha except the handphone and digital camera though (arunan, im going to steal yr camera sooner or later kays.) yup everything else i got. thanks so much guys! much love, much appreciateed. especially those who bothered to find out what i want. :)
the next dae, new years dae, my mother's side family and i (excluding my dad as he was not feeling well), rode down to malaysia to visit our relatives. i love going down to malaysia with my relatives, esp if my cuzins are coming along, as its bound to be fun.
this time round was no exception. although it was a horrer getting up at 9am as i only slept at 5am, i somehow made it and climbed into my uncle's camry. and then it was a looooong 5 hour ride to seremban, ulu pedas with a lunch stop in between. this ride was more to make up for my lost sleep and that's wad i did.
once we reached my grandaunt's house in seremban, it was all chaos from there. all 3 cars of relatives descended there and made so much noise i tell u. hahaha it was realli funny. in the evening, we made our way down to the kampong house where our other relatives were living. that was really fun, as we ate vadais (the most delicious i have EVER TASTED), drank milo and played games with our younger nephews and nieces. yes all my cousin's childrens. lol. we played stupid games like chopstick, arm wrestling, finger wrestling, slide scissors paper stone (this was e big hit where i almost tore my jeans), pepsi cola 1-2-3 and many more. it was a ride back to our childhood and it was realli good.
we left the place after eating some good kampong food and with promises of returning soon to our malaysia counterparts. that night we went back to the bigger house uphill and stayed there. started playing bridge at 11pm and only stopped at 2 am. hahahhaha. in between our uncle tried to scare us with stupid stories of ghosts and even going one step further to walk ard the house and howl as one. we tried to scare him back but were too petrified to go out to the backyard. it's realli scary ok! hahahha.
bridge was hillarious with all the leg rubbing and acting and cheating. lol. and just a note, i won all the games. wahrharhahra. after which we settled to watch the soccer match, man u vs newcastle. the guys i.e my uncles and my malaysia cousin were engrossed in the game while the rest of us were ordered to keep quiet. not a easy thing to do for 5 teenage ppl. and we were laughing over the stupidest of things and covering our mouths with towels to shut up our squeals. hahahahaha.
soon we slept ard 3 am, me at the sofa nearest to the door. not a good idea as the cocks starting shouting at bloody 4 30 am. i grogiily woke up to my aunties shouting at the top of their voices. im NOT a morning person, the sofa was NOT comfortable as it was a 2 seater. at 7 am i gave up and drudged to one of e rooms with my pillow and blanket(niran's hammock) and wedged myself between my mother and anu auntie. as the oldies woke up, my cuzins followed my suit (we were all sleeping in e hall) and came to the room to continue sleeping. wrong idea. our overactive aunties and uncles who themselves return to their childhood at times, started squealing and jumping on our beds giving us no choice but to wake. its quite a hilarious sight actually.
we had a very very hearty breakfast of roti canai, sambar, goreng pisang, and kuehs with kopi-o. after which we headed to a temple with a HUGE sleeping baby sivan statue, i had been there before and was amazed at the rate of the renovation, the temple is simply beautiful and so serene, being set in the middle of nowhere. the ride there was fun as we passed by many many cows. i just love cows. and being in the car with my uncle and 5 other cuzins squuezed inside the chevrolet, screaming to rock music.
after that we returned and packed, and went over to another relatives place for a birthday lunch for one of my malaysia cousins. we went there, ate like pigs and slept. lol. hahahahah it was fun too, poking each other, forcing to stay awake and listening to my uncle's lame jokes and fake laughing. rain started pouring (it was pouring on our way there too), and we started on our drive home where i sat with krishna and sathya and just talking crap and sleeping. reached singapore arond 6, tired and yet refreshed. it was good, bathing in cold water, returning to yr roots, but i dun think i can survive there for long. there's no form of entertainment, the "city" is an hour's ride away and is seriously not much of a city, houses are secluded from each other and the tv is the only connection to the outside world. i will DIE.
after the trip, next day was my family's obaiyum at the temple. the yearly one. i think this year's was extra special as it was actually raining heavily but stopped just nice for us to brings the Gods around the temple and regained raining once they were inside the shelther. such a blessing. it was so adorable seeing navina with her fake hair. hahaha. i had fake hair too! lol put a long plait with my deepavali saree and looked like a kudumba kuutuvillaku ( family light?)
the whole wednesday was on the obaiyum as we had the morning prayers AND the evening one. had to wake up at 6 for the morning prayers so i spent my afternoon watching tv and sleeping.
thurs and fri just flew by. thurs i spent 7 hours cleaning my room from the aftermath of the party. arranged my presents ( i have 78 pairs of earrings now!) and throwed out all notes, rearranged the ones i'll be needing and kept the ones i wanted to sell. cleaned the room from head to toe but it looks so clustered cuz i just have far too many things. sigh. i need a bigger room.
fri i went for driving in the morning, spent the afternoon with umaka and navina and went to eat kenny rogers for dinner with yoges and sangithah. it was a much needed night out as we laughed, ate and gossiped. hahahahaha. sigh, thank god for dance class or i would never have met yoges. :)
saturdae i went back to sitar after a month of holidays, ah forgot everything! had nice scolding from my teacher and im recharged and determined to stay on track. no more beginner got to buck up! went sister's place after that for her 8th month thingee where mum made food for her and all. came back with navina and brought her swimming!!
weh its been 3 years since i last swam at a pool i think. hahahaha my swimming costume needs to be replaced. lol. swam with navina abit, then left her with my mum and did a few laps in the adult pool. but i kept bumping into ppl as there were many kids having lessons so i gave up after 20 mins and just lay by the side and enjoyed the cool water and cooler breeze.
went home n got ready to go over to pearl's for hotplate. the food was good! sorrie i made u guys wait!! and it was a fun dinner where we just ate, cooked and caught up. its been SO LONG since we gathered just for the purpose for gathering and not for birthday or some event. but still, gra minah and jo were missed. they all went town for supper but i was tireed from the long day and went home.
woke up at 8 for navina as she was screaming for high-5 and im the only one in the whole house who can operate the dvd ( or so my mum thinks). went back to sleep and woke up 3 hrs later, had a lazy lunch and then tada, my missing 3-mth painful friend came to find me. one way i was relieved, another way i was like "sheit why now, when i have dance!" sigh. but oh well. endured e cramps and went to class. was real tiring but i liked it, as i felt i achieved something. the aftermath was not good, as the cramps became worse. haiks. came home and my sis and brother-in-law were over to fetch navina. watched e dhool competition which sangithah is crazy over. haahha. and now im here, preparing for my day tmr, deciding which notes to print, what to print, and most importantly. WHAT TO WEAR. hahahaha.
ok for those who survived reading till the end, WELL DONE!!! hhahahahahahaha.
lets see if the new semester allows me to blog regularly, if not its more long posts. till then, its been a tough year, looking forward to a great one.
