WELL WELL WELL
we have finally come to the end of year
its incredible how fast time has passed!
2007 has been sort of a mixed up mashed up year for me..
Good stuff,bad stuff
I just hope that 2008 would be waaay better.
I know its not Thanksgiving but I wanna mention certain people in this final post of 2007
These are the people that made life worth living..
especially in my darkest hours when I feared that I'd lose my sanity.
Mary,Rathika,Ganga- The reason why I grouped them together is bcoz these 3 gals are my heartbeats..I have known them since 1993,when we were in sec 1..and to this very day we are still close.We have had loads of ups and downs in our early teens,our mid teens,our late teens,then our early 20s and now as we are in our mid 20s..we have shared our joys and sorrows with one another..we have learnt to adapt to the different ways of each individual in the group..Mary is the sound practical advisor of our group..but she is also very sporting and always involved in several activities at the same time..BUT..she is always there as a friend when you need her.Rathi is a very enthusiastic,gung-ho kinda person.She is always on the move and eager to pick up new skills.I remember the fun we used to have in sec school..our idiotic exercise routines,our IMPOSSIBLE diet plans,food fantasies etc etc.Ganga aka Koko, is the fun loving party girl,but with strong family values,she makes friends and mixes easily but don't try to be funny with her,she BITES!We liked to tease her for her dreamy way of walking..so blur!!hahahaha..I remember the times we would just sit around till late night snacking on chocolates and talking about guys and family..our impromptu trips to the beach at times..our imaginative story telling for innocent passer-bys..I can go on and on talking about them..there would not be enough space to describe a friendship going on for 14yrs strong..I can safely say out of the 4 of us,I am the most naive and soft hearted.They have always been there for me as a look out and as guides..Thank u girls..or should I say..ladies..hehehe
Sanjit aka Billy-I got to know this guy in mid 2006 sometime before my 26th birthday..and I must say this has been one of the most solid friendships ever..Sanjit is a very unique person with a drive & ambition that really impressed me from the beginning.Initially I thought that he would be on a totally different frequency with me as I am a dreamer and a take it easy kinda person..but I was wrong.He is one of the funniest guys I have come to know,and we have very similar music tastes..and he has been always around for me..I love asking him questions coz he patiently answers me hahaha and I have bestowed so many nicknames upon him..we do have our verbal battles but that only serves to make our friendship stronger..along the way there have been some jealous people who try to create a negative atmosphere between our friendship..only to fail miserably.Well Sanjit has influenced me in a very positive way and he is a very special person to me..now and always..thank you dear
Lata aka Twinny-I got to know this fiesty,gorgeous cutie just this year but we hit it off from the start..oh my we have soooo many similarities its freaky I tell ya!All our outings are filled with uncontrollable laughter EVEN when situation is serious we find something hilarious in it..hahaha..even now as I think about certain things I can't stop grinning..and most importantly I can trust and confide in her.She is one person who encouraged me to be strong and positive when I was on the verge of despair.She kept me company thru smses,phone calls,chats whenever I started to feel troubled and lonely.Truly she is a blessing.Thank you so much my dear twinny..for being there for me
Yugan aka A.K- I got to know this guy in late 2006..everything about him was hilarious..the way he msged me on Friendster,the way he smsed and in our very first phone conversation instead of saying hello..he started belting out some tamil folk song as a way of greeting..I almost died laughing..what really impressed me about this guy is that rain or shine he is always jolly...even when he is stressed or upset,he quickly forgets it and starts joking as usual.He is into music,and the performing arts.Cool rite?As time passed I started to treat him as a good bro..he dishes out good advice hidden within his jokes..and he has been there for me too..so bro...thank u..
Glashryl-What can I say..sometimes I forget that we are cousins..coz we talk like buddies!There is a whopping 14yr age gap between us but honestly sometimes I even forget that!She is my long lost cousin and I finally ''found'' her in 2006!!whoa..that was a very good year actually.. hehehe..well Glash and I hit it off from the start thanks to our insane laughter at the smallest things..our looooong telephone conversations...her crushes on some TV stars..hahaha..wink wink..well jokes aside..she is a good listener..and sometimes she can be practical too..she knows most of my secrets coz I trust her..and sometimes she dishes out good advice too!Lil sis...thank u..
Feliz Año Nuevo.. Bonne année..Happy New Year..
Just got home
Had a fun time at the function..
whoa 50yrs of married life and still so in love..I really envied the couple..
anyways the food was good,the atmosphere was good,everyone laughed alot and had a merry time..
it was too bad we had to leave just as the dance floor was about to open..
well we wanted to catch the MRT back..
oh my we took a cab down and the taxi fare came up to almost 22 bucks!
all thanks to the peak hour 35% surcharge newly imposed & the traffic jams along the way..
I remember the previous time I paid just $13-14 bucks for travelling the same distance...
c'mon la at this rate people are not gonna wanna take cabs often..
I admit to being a taxi queen coz sometimes I just wanna ride in peace and comfort away from the bustling crowds..but now..I think I'll really think have to think twice.
Good luck to cabbies..the fares may have increased but the customers are gonna disappear.
Been having a headache ever since I got home..
I am not really sure if its the blasting music at the celebration or the alcohol or just
plain fatigue catching up on me after non-stop partying the past week..
I guess I'll just read a bit then go on to bed..
I am SUPPOSED to go out later(Sunday) I hope that's gonna be cancelled
coz I really need to rest indoors for a bit..
not to mention its the last episode of Planet Galatta..I don't wanna miss that!
Well Glash told me she'd be online and I wanted to send her some pix but I'm really tired so I guess I'll just log off and catch up with her later..hmm
Au revoir for now loves
YAAAAWNNN.
just woke up like around 2-ish
waiting for mum to get outta the shower
I have yet to even decide what I wanna wear today
Hmmm
I regret RSVP-ing the invite last month..
Every inch of my body was yelling in protest as I stumbled out of bed earlier
Sigh.Anyways the function Im goin for today is the 50th wedding anniversary celebration of Uncle Simon & Aunty Alice.They will be renewing their nupital vows today too.Awwwwww
They aren't my REAL uncle & aunt but we have been family friends for a very long time..in fact I remember him even as a little kid..he was the one who walked my own aunty down the aisle at her wedding coz my grandfather passed away long time ago..so in a way he's like a fatherly figure to my mum and her sisters.
Since they call him uncle..somehow we kids in the 3rd generation also stuck to calling him that.I used to love going to his place when I was a kid..it was this bungalow at Wolskel Rd,off Serangoon.Its been ages since I saw him.Heeheheh I dunno if I looking forward to this at all actually but oh well.
I know there will be a few faces that I would really like to avoid..I just hope everything goes well.
Ok its my turn to use the bathroom..
Catch ya later people
Had a fantastic time out today with Glash,went to watch Alvin & the chipmunks..
what can I say?
I knew it would be cutesy but I didn't expect it to be this fun..
we caught the movie @ Jurong Entertainment Ctr since we had to meet my mum after that so it was all kinda rushing but FUN!
As usual we could not stop laughing...
everything went on perfectly till Glash got herself entangled in the red velvet drapes as we were exiting the cinema..
and she blamed me for not holding it aside for her...
OIII!!HELLLOOO..
hahahahaha I laughed all the way out..the scene was precious la I tell ya..
After the movie,met up with mum,we went grocery shopping bought dinner and took a cab back to Glash's home..then all of us exchanged the latest morsels of juicy news over dinner..Jaryl called from camp in the midst of dinner & we managed to exchange a few words with him!
Man it had been ages since I heard his voice but glad to know that he is coping pretty well with army life..
Then mum and I decided to get back early that my uncle and aunt could rest.. so we took a cab back around 10.15pm..and well yeah that's it..I have just one more function to attend tomorrow then I can rest after that..yippeee..so many days on leave but barely stayed at home..
So Glash my dear..the year is coming to an end..I know we did not get to hang out as much as we would have liked to this hols..but hey we managed to catch 3 movies so thats not too bad,and we went shopping a couple of times,and then there were all those crazy photo sessions..hehehe..so my dear lil sis..I hope that when u look back it all brings a smile to ur face...
Well I hope I can catch up with my buddies soon too..it feels like ages since I saw Koko,Rathi and Mary..oh wait I saw Mary last week but I STILL MISS HER!!Then of course I miss playing online games with twinnny & those mini speedpool tournaments between sanjit and us...hahaha..everyone has been so busy lately..
Au revoir darlings
Ok Glash im updating im updating..
sheeeeeeeeshh
merepek la u
hahahahahaha
Slept at freaking 7am yesterday morning and woke up at 3pm..just had time for a quick shower and a bite to eat b4 getting ready to go to the airport.
Managed to catch the 858 service just in time and settled in for a comfy ride all the way to Changi airport...my mum protested at first..unlike me,she hates travelling in buses..she is more inclined to feel comfy in the MRT..
as usual I got my way
hehehehe..
Anyways had a good time at the airport..after sending our cousin off..the rest of us wandered around the place..my cousin Helen wanted to sit down and have a good gossip but ended up running in circles around her kid Audrey..so her sister Sheila and myself contented ourselves by taking photos and laughing at Helen and her kid..the activity soon came to an end when poor Audrey bumped her wee lil nose on the concrete pillar and started bawling her head off..well we then went to have dinner and Helen still didnt wanna go back home coz we barely get the chance to hang out much these days,and especially since none of us were working the next day..so it turned out to be that we finally left the airport around 11-ish and came back to Yishun exactly at midnight.
Since I woke up so damn late I was unable to get to sleep again..alternated between reading and chatting online..then finally went to bed around 7am..AGAIN.
I know its bad but this is ALWAYS the case during the pre-Xmas & post X-mas season...all these long leisurely holidays make me sooo lazy to get back to work.
Well then as usual I woke up late TODAY..and I was not alone..everyone else seemed to be dead tired,I guess the after effects of the festivities started to kick in.
I didn't feel like staying at home and since Metro and JL seemed to be having their post-Xmas sales I persuaded mum and aunt to come shopping with me.
i bought some casual tops and am still contemplating on buying some pretty sandals and shoes..the thing is I seem to have spent so much this time round..WAAAAY too much..I was griping about it to Sanjit on the way home..and when I got home I was grumbling about it to twinny online...hahahaha...
smack smack
Guess I know what ONE of my new year resolutions is gonna be.
Speaking of which..I wonder if any of you have already made your NYRs?
I used to do it till I was in my late teens
Once I reached my 20s I have stopped..coz I never seemed to be able to stick to any solid plans.
So I just make a silent decision in my heart and if it happens I just give myself a lil pat on my back.
If it doesn't happen..its ok..at least no one KNOWS abt it..
hehehehee...
Its close to 4.30am now I think I shall charge my mp3 player and then try to get some sleep..I am meeting Glash tmrw as promised..to watch a movie..
So will be back later to update.
ps: life is beautiful..at the moment..hope it lasts
Hello daaahlings....
Christmas day came and ended in a flash but I have to say it was pretty unforgettable and especially memorable this year.Firstly we went for the midnight mass instead of the earlier mass..and we were for once ready to leave our house at the arranged time and get to church an hour before mass started!We had arranged to meet up with my cousin Helen's family..so for once the whole pew was occupied by our family members..which is VERY rare for us since we do not have much relatives here..well sadly some others did not turn up but..I hope they had a nice time anyways..well too many things happened in the space of 2hrs in church itself...I shall not mention them here..hahahahaha just in case Helen sees this and yells at me..but after a long time I can say that I really felt the Xmas spirit that night..and I'm sorry to say I spent half the mass controlling my laughter & the people sitting behind us must have been puzzled as to why my shoulders kept jerking and twitching repeatedly!!
I CAN'T CONTROL MY LAUGHTER PEOPLE!!ONCE I START IT TICKLES ME NON STOP!!
oh well..at least I wasn't alone...
After mass which ended around 1am..we trudged back in a large group to Helen's place..
where we cut the yummy choc Xmas log cake and opened up bottles of wine to kick start the celebration.
Its been a long time since I laughed so much..I can't remember how much of liquor flowed thru the house that day..since it was Xmas the men took full advantage of their drinking privileges and the ladies just let them be ..as for me..Im not much of a drinker..I totally HATE the taste but I can drama a bit..hahaha..as in I hate NOT to join in when the rest are boozing away!!I cannot remember how much wine and pepsi I had that night..the glasses just kept getting refilled... THEN we had some very comical behaviour once the alcohol started to sink in..Its a mercy the neighbours didn't call the police!We finally trudged back home around 6am..it was kinda fun since we stay so nearby..just a carpark's walk away!!
Needless to say we all crashed at around 7am..I think the rest woke up early to start the Xmas breakfast preparations..
I slept rite thru breakfast AND lunch...and stumbled out of bed around 3pm...
I had a headache and yet I felt light headed..WEIRD rite..but that's how I felt..
then the rest of the family & some family friends started streaming in and we all sat around chit chatting and serving goodies while Xmas dinner preparations was going on full blast in the kitchen...
everyone tucked in to a delicious dinner then around 11.30pm we walked over to Helen's house again,this time to pass them some Xmas goodies and just hang around chit chatting and laughing..came home at almost 3am!!
Now its almost 5.45am but I just can't get to sleep coz I feel so full..
arrrggghh
all that rich food and alcohol and goodies and fizzy drinks and blahs..
Well am gonna do some reading then will crash..will be seeing Helen and family again tmrw..this time @ the airport to send off another cousin to India..
Xmas day may be over but the glow & warmth is still radiating thru the family..
I miss my buddies so much!!
Hardly had time to even chit chat with them!
So damn tired
Tired of endless shopping trips..tired of getting shoved and pushed around in the Xmas crowds..tired of walking and walking and walking endlessly looking for that perfect bag/shoes/outfit..tired of pretending to be a good sport when all I reli wanna do is walk off and hail the next cab home.
Sigh.
Xmas brings out the best AND the worst in my family every year.
Well anyways had a perfectly fun day out yesterday with my mum and cousin sis Glash..
Did loads of nonsensical stuff..shopped quite a lot..
TRIIIED taking loads of photos but mum kept staring arrows at us whenever we paused to pose...
so yeah...
from Yishun to Jurong to Paya Lebar to Orchard to Jurong again..then back home to Yishun finally..
we were all tired out from shopping ..as well as laughing too hard hahahaha..
omg I wonder what the mrt passengers would have thought of Glash..
she went completely HYPER
like a monkey on a sugar rush...HAHHAHAHAHAHA...
remember the milo gerl???eeeeeeeeew soooo grosssss!!!
Well that was yesterday and today the family headed down to the heartland of woodlands..yes..
Causeway Point..
which is already usually PERPETUALLY packed..need I say more about the crowd today?
Then stopped off at Sembawang to collect some goodies which I had ordered from my buddy Najib...his mum makes the most delicious murukkus i tell ya!!!Been a loyal customer for past 3yrs!Then all rushed home like hungry hippos to devour the yummylicious dinner which my aunt had thoughtfully prepared for us before we left home to go shopping...
Oh shoot
I have YET to do my hair..and its already Xmas Eve.I must must must try to sleep early and wake up early..I've got a long day ahead..chances are that we'd be heading for the midnight mass since parents cant make it in time for the earlier mass..
With loads of stuff still undone...I shall stop here now..
My dear dear dear friends...
MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!
OMG OMG OMG
ITS CHRISTMAS AGAINNNN!!!
0133hrs
Took a break from running around and watched Vallavan on Youtube..yes yes I know I'm very backdated
well it was a complete waste of time lah..i like a couple of songs but that's about it..Simbu was over acting and what's up with him always portraying females in a negative light eh?I usually like Nayanthara and I reallly love Reema Sen but he reduced them into such blathering fools in here..I couldn't help but think that HE needs help in reality...well for those of you who watched the movie..I guess you'd agree with me when I say the ending SUCKS big time.. oh well..wasted 2hrs of my time but at least now I know what it was all about...apparently its to be continued ..YEAH RITE...couldn't think of an appropriate ending more like!!! I'm not a Simbu condemner in fact I really liked Manmathan alot..but this one..sigh
Well the night is still young guess I'll disturb a couple of my friends before I call it a night... or maybe I'll spend some quality time with the likes of Carol Beer,Marjorie Dawse & Vicky Pollard.
Dunno who they are?
Characters from Little Britain la..

Hi Ho!
Meaning to blog since Wednesday but was too darn tired..the past 2 days were kinda hectic...on Wednesday I headed down alone to the infamous ''Joo Chiat Complex"" to get curtains..I had never been there alone and I must say I wasn't comfy in the environment..amongst the steady hagglers and mums with large families in tow..I must have looked like a lost lamb..and as I circled the complex again and again I felt like an idiot..I was reminded by my mum n aunt that I MUST bargain at this places..and when I came across this store assistant in one shop,who seriously informed me that the sofa covers I wanted were $115 a set I was like whaaaat?!Now..Im not one to compromise on quality just bcoz of pricing but this was a bit too much..I knew that the value of that set had to be somewhere between the $65-85 range.Either they realllly raised the price up or she must have thought that I was an idiot.
Suffice to say I waved her off and walked away.Well then after buying rhe stuff from another shop after 2hrs of wandering here n there...I walked out and kept walking trying to get a cab..no luck..so I crossed the road and tried again but no luck..so I CROSSED the road AGAIN..and you know what?It started raining.
I was cursing my luck as I heaved my heavy bags and walked into the complex again to seek shelter.After a while it occured to me that most of that taxis were not at the main road coz they were turing into the side lane.So instead of crossing up and down earlier..if I had just walked to the side of the complex I would have been in a taxi ages ago!!
What the hell rite?
I finally got a cab in like 2-3mins..while waiting I noticed I was opposite ANOTHER landmark..the Hotel 81 Classic..hehehehe...nice nice.
Well then to fast forward..went home,put up curtains,changed sofa covers,went down to my friend maya's place for a while..came home started unpacking deco,finally put up the tree,cleared up the after-mess in the hall..then took a laaaate dinner,did more cleaning,then went to bed coz next day I had an important appointment with my close buddies!Yaaaaaaaaaayyy..talked on the phone with Sanjit for a while then slept..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Thursday
Met up with my buddies..we had ice cream @ Swensens..both my twinny and I for some STRANGE reason could not finish our fave ice-creams..sigh..well went to watch Billa..and lemme tell you the cinema was conquered by INDIANS hahahaha..they should change the name of the cinema to something more Indian LoL..anyways am not a fan of Ajit but curious to see this so -called remake..and the trailer brought to mind images of Shahrukh Khan's Don...well the movie was very funny thanks to the ''enna kodumai saravana'' fame Prabhu..we were laughing at his clumsy but cute ways...namitha...bleahh nothing much to say ..Nayanthara oh gosh..that babe is re-inventing herself..I sometimes do sort of prefer the old nayanthara..she used to look so cheerful..oh well..anyways the costumes were so niceeeee...I loved the outfits Ajit was wearing and nayanthara's outfits were stylishly cool too..
After the movie we went phone hunting coz my hp was long past its expiry date hahahaaha it was literally hanging on to life by a thin thread..I bought a simple Nokia 6300..coz somehow the newer models didn't really impress me that much..Later Sanjit and I went for a drink and caught up on some work related stuff then we headed home for dinner..
all in all I had a good time with my buddies...oh and my twinny gave me a Xmas present...so sweeeeeeeeeet rite?!Hugssss..Thanks guys..had a great time we should catch up again SOOOON...
0107hrs
Had a long day..was caught in the rain..had chores to do..nearly caught my hair on fire...too engrossed in peering into what's cooking IN the pot..failed to notice the flames licking out beneath the pot..narrowly escaped doing an MJ!
Then my cousin from India popped in for a visit and since no one else was at home besides my cousin Clif..I kept him entertained till my parents got home..I tried my best to come up with interesting topics to talk about..but I soon realised that my Singapore version of Malayalam was reli way inferior to the authentic Kerala version spouting from his lips..its weird coz I prided myself on being fairly GOOD in my mother tongue LoL yet I was forced to stutter my way thru the conversation and there were several times I started a sentence in Malayalam then would meander into some form of Tamil n weakly trail off in English....
Oh well..another odd thing about me..if u happen to know me in person u may or may not have noticed this but...I studied and understand Tamil well yet I'm unable to communicate in the language..I guess u could blame my Tamil teachers partially..they allowed me to escape with answering in english for the entire 6yrs in Primary school!!It didnt help that I had no one else to push me to speak the language since we all spoke in English or Malayalam at home.
When I went to secondary school..I suffered BIG time.My tamil teacher..whom I very seriously am nursing a grudge against till today..went ALL THE WAY out to make trouble for me.She assumed my reluctance to communicate in Tamil as some form of arrogance..and she picked on me quite a bit.It made me sad..coz I felt it was so unfair of her to not understand..besides the communication bit,my reading and writing skills were in fact sometimes better than my tamil speaking friends.Sigh.I was so lucky to have had my besties next to me..if not for their encouragement I think I would have murdered that old bat!
thankfully my Tamil teacher in upper Sec was cool Mr.Veerasingham..NOW that's a fine teacher.He didnt have to raise his voice or bang tables to get our attention.A flick of his finger and someone would run to clear the board.A wave of his hand and we'd open our books.LoL..
along the way my buddies spoke in Tamil and I understood them perfectly if they went along at a decent pace..and well..thats the way it has been..till today my friends speak to me in their mother tongue and I answer in English..in fact the only people who are stunned by this are the people who overhear our conversations..LoL coz all they hear is one voice in English and one voice in Tamil! no connection whatsoever!Well I could go on and on ..but let me tell u this..I don't regret the fact that I took up Tamil as a second language.
When I was in school I used to ask my mum why she didn't choose Malay or Mandarin instead as most of my cousins did..but later I realised it wasn't too bad at all.I enjoy being able to understand Tamil AND Malayalam..
So for the next idiot who comes up to me and starts lecturing me about not being able to speak Tamil even though I'm an Indian( u know who u are)..please remember..I am an Indian and yes I do know how to speak in my mother tongue which is Malayalam..I can't communicate in Tamil much but that doesn't mean I don't try..how many languages do YOU know besides your own?Not much rite?So..please..don't make me go on a loooong rant like this again..I know myself very well indeed..I do not need your approval to live my life.
Tsk Tsk.
2345hrs
I was just browsing thru the net and finally settled on watching various snippets of the brilliant comedy
Little Britain...
omg I was literally kicking out and banging my fists on the table..that's how hard I was laughing at the skits..the Brits reli rock..albeit, in a raw crude way..
Well then happened to chance upon this old Larry King interview segment with Prince.Or the Symbol.Or the Artist Formerly Known as Prince..ermmm what's he called now anyways?i'll just stick to Prince..yeah well its real funny how as a growing teen I used to hate Prince...maybe it was coz loads of people back then were comparing him to my idol Michael Jackson..and I remember reading articles(tabloids actually as I came to find out later)about the rivalry between these 2 artistes..so yeah being a die hard fan of MJ..for some reason I loathed Prince.
Even though for a short period of time I did have a poster of him on my wall...coz a doting uncle of mine bought like so many MJ posters for me and somehow the shopkeeper kinda gave him a Prince one wrongly..not wanting to hurt my uncle for his mistake..i gamely put it up in a far corner of my room..hahaha I still remember being impressed by the poster..Purple Rain..it was so purply n glossy and oooohh just so pretty hahahahaha..gosh its been years,all I have left of my poster collection now is one large black and white glossy of MJ..which I had gotten from another MJ fan in Holland in the mid 90s.
These days..I wonder why I never liked Prince..his music is actually different and mind blowingly GOOD.not as good as MJ...hahhahaa..but still
GOOOOOOD
Talking about music..I hate it when people proclaim to be music lovers then go on to diss the kinds of music they do not like..HEY HEY HEY PEOPLE...that is SOOO not the way ok?Music is international & spread over different genres..if something sucks just bcoz you can't embrace different cultures,different languages then how can you possibly proclaim to be a music lover?Get real ok..lose your self in the flow,the rhythm,the beat..for THAT is the true language of MUSIC..
0150hrs
I'm not even close to feeling sleepy as yet..another weekend has passed and I did practically nothing the whole day..just lazed around during the afternoon and took a long leisurely shower..then watched some variety shows on the telly..and somehow in a burst of enthusiasm started cleaning up my room..I didn't realise I had so many pieces of clothings which I've hardly worn..and books and papers in every nook and cranny..I managed to sort out & shift the excess stuff...did some sweeping and vaccuming..will do a thorough cleaning again tmrw...oooh look at me..so
DOMESTIC..hahaha
There are days when I've gone to bed with a heavy sinking feeling.
Sometimes..I feel the
void within me.
Then there are times when I feel light hearted and content..and hopeful..
Thankfully this is one of those nights.
I guess I did have a pretty ok day after all...
Well..its gonna be Monday again ..and gosh..
NEXT monday it would be X'mas Eve already!I'd prolly be coming home from midnight mass around this time...
I'm gonna do some reading..trying to finish this book called
'The Executioner's Daughter' which I had borrowed from the library...I have been reading quite a lot this past coupla months in fact...I would say an average of 3 a month at least!
Its amazing how much the mind craves nutrition..to me reading is a joy and I'm always hungry for more info..another amazing fact is how my mind automatically switches off & loses appetite when it comes to
study matters!
LoL..
Once a dreamer always a dreamer I guess..
Now this dreamer is gonna fade away...
Hmm I'm already wondering what kinda music I wanna fall asleep to later...
People keep asking me if Im attached..or married..or GETTING married..or SEEING someone..its so funny how 2yrs ago this kinda things never reli seemed to matter..people asked..BUT they used to ask in a joking manner..THESE days the interrogation is flung in a more serious manner..and sumwhere along the lines of ,
" WHAT!STILL SINGLE?WHY?!"
I dunno why but I find dis kinda reactions damn hilarious...
What's wrong with being single...as in what's wrong with living a life without a commitment to another party?I make my own decisions,choose the places I wanna hang out,eat the food I wanna eat,watch the movies I wanna watch,no need to compromise what I don't like...if u ask me...this is the way to be....
Of course Im not saying that I wanna die single...what Im trying to say is when it happens,it happens.
I can't MAKE myself like someone just because Im under loads of pressure..
Hell..its not like THESE people are gonna live my life
So yeah I just turned 27
Half my ex-classmates & pals are married
So?
Good for them.
Its not as if Im living a LOVELESS life
Im getting ALL the LOVING I need for now & seriously Im content with this level for the time being
So for those who keep going tsk tsk
YOU people should get a life & not be so absorbed in appearances
Saturday again .
Am supposed to go out with my close friend for dinner tonight but somehow things cropped up on my side and I have had to postpone it.Well I feel bad about it coz I was kinda lookin forward to it..but then things at home were making me irritated..and mum kept giving me errands to run so..I lost my mood.Pffft.
What a way to start the weekend.
I used to be a very emotional person..the slightest hurt would bring a tear to my eye..but these days Im controlling my emotions.
Yes I STILL am emotional but Im learning to hide my emotions once again.I find that its better to withdraw into the darkness sometimes rather than fighting it out all the way.It does help u know..to a certain extent..
So here I am sitting here unblinkingly typing this post as my mum's verbal bullets bounce off my invisible shield...
FOCUSFOCUSFOCUS
I am not weak.I will NOT be hurt by your words.I have come a long way & Im not about to crumble and fall now.
Oh man im so so so so tired..
Uber shagged out..was exactly midnight by the time I got home..mum and I were so engrossed in arguing about something in the cab that we didn't even realise our driver was heading towards St.71 instead of St.21...hahaha apparently the cabbie thot that I was directing him when in fact I was responding to my mum!Now tell me how weird is that?!!
Anyways..told the cabbie its ok and we proceeded on..this time I made sure I kept an eye on the route..

1. Flying - You like to see the "big picture" of life and how things fit together. Little details annoy you. You enjoy being free and taking risks.
Career clue: You'd make a good pilot or astronaut. Consider a job that will let you affect policies, maybe in government or a public research group.
2. Time travel - You are interested in the causes of things and how past mistakes can be used to shape the future. You're very curious about how different people live.
Career clue: A career in scientific research, history, or human behavior might be the place for you. You might enjoy a job where you can affect the future.
3. Invisibility - You tend to be shy, or a very keen observer. Or both. You like to know everything that is going on around you.
Career clue: Some good careers for observers, a writer, artist, or private investigator.
4. X-ray vision - You like to "see through" problems and go to the heart of an issue. You enjoy finding problems that other people can't even see. You also enjoy solving problems.
Career clue: Physics, politics, math, and medicine are fields that need skilled problem-solvers.
5. The power to change forms - You are a sociable person who likes to fit in. Perhaps you want to be admired by the group. Either way, you're a real crowd pleaser!
Career clue: Entertainment might be the field for you. Actors can "change forms" and be other people.
6. Mind reading - You're good at guessing what other people think. You can "see behind" what they're saying by reading between the lines.
Career clue: You might be a good counselor or psychologist. It's important for professionals in those careers to understand how other people think and feel.
7. Seeing into the future - You're very creative and love adventure. You would move right into the future if you could! You're always looking at what might be possible, and wondering how to make it happen sooner.
Career clue: A career on the cutting edge of things might be right for you. Think about becoming an explorer, research scientist, inventor, or science fiction writer.
8. Super hearing - You pay close attention to sounds and patterns. You like to be fully informed about the latest news. Some might even say you're nosy!
Career clue: You might make an excellent reporter or gossip columnist. Or you might decide to become a musician.
Its such a cold cold night
Tried to ignore the pangs of loneliness
Yet they stab at me relentlessly
Mercilessly reminding me
That beneath all the laughter & fast talk
I am painfully
Alone
Hola mates...this is my brand new blog,having migrated from my Friendster blog of almost 2 years..I finally found time to make the transition!
Well for starters..my name is Patricia and I hail from the shores of sunny Singapore..I am your typical heartland girl..been staying in the northern part of Spore all my life..thats 27 freakin years y'all... I am the only child in the family but you will soon hear about the entire extended family of cousins and uncles and aunts! I am working in the administrative line..for NOW that is..hehehe..I am mostly found in a world of my own,daydreaming..I am an optimist by nature,though I do have my emotional ups and downs at times.
Raised in a very Malayalee-Catholic infused community..I do tend to be the black sheep at times when it comes to family matters..perhaps its bcoz I believe in airing my views,maybe coz I don't like to be instructed,not me.. thank you very much.
I have many wonderful friends..and a very selected group of absolutely fantabulous besties...whom I shall talk more about in my upcoming posts..
Well I tend to get carried away at times coz I have got sooooo much to say..but I shall end it here for now..shall I?
It may be some time before I start posting on a regular basis,since this is the Xmas season and all..but will pop in as and when I can..
Cheers loves..
This is me,Patricia
