When 16 Comes Knocking

2011-08-25T12:15:00.006+08:00

When you are 16, everything seems complicated. Life becomes a confusing puzzle. It always seems like a never ending journey to complete the puzzle. And, of course, 16 would be the age when no one understands you. Parents never understood your feelings. And your status on face book and friendster and many more social network to come will always be "it's complicated". Exactly what is this complication that we are referring to?Everything! Relationship with parents, sibling rivalry, peer pressure, studies, clothing sense and of course not forgetting love. It is the age when we all need attention. Looking and dressing like teenagers from one of our favorite Hollywood dramas becomes a necessity. And, idol, is something that we all have. Never anyone who created any history, idol to us have always been some actor/actress that we adore. Oh, and having a crush on that particular boy/girl sitting next to us in class is an absolute norm.Oh, the glorious love. Often one sided or if your lucky enough you could both be in love. It is also the age when popularity is a must. You have to be the best student in studies, in sports and every other activity in school. At 16, when someone confesses their love for you, you never think, you always believe he/she is the right one for you. ( because somehow you always think no one understands you especially parents and siblings and you need that attention, care and love from someone else, who better can give you what you need other than the opposite sex!) It is very common to think from the heart at 16.

Fast forward at 22-25, well, it is still complicated=) BUT, only in certain matters. The maturity sets in. The thinking capacity heightened. You don't fall in love randomly with anyone sitting next to you. You eventually look for a man/woman. Responsibility becomes your priority. You develop a sense of providing. At 25, you will understand your parents. You give yourself some time to think about the consequences of that decision you are about to make. It is the age when every incident teaches you a lesson.Learning to fall and rise and to achieve something becomes a part of you. It is a phase that will make you want to make every moment worthwhile. To live each millisecond with meaning!

Certain Song Does Make A Difference

2011-07-16T13:07:00.003+08:00

I want to share this song with you people.I find this song to be very motivating. The tune , the meaning especially. It gives me the sort of energy that pushes me and not to give up.So, here goes.Enjoy!

Aas pass hai khuda from the movie Anjaana Anjaani

dhundhla jaayein jo manzilein
ek pal ko tu nazar jhuka
jhuk jaye sar jahan wahi
milta hain rab ka rasta
teri kismat tu badal de
rakh himmat bus chal de
tera saathi mere kadmon ke hain nishan
tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
khud pey daal tu nazar
halaton se haar kar
kahan.. chala re
haath ki lakeer ko
modhta marodhta hai hosla re
to khud tere khawabon ke rang mein
tu apne jahan ko bhi rang de
ke chalta hoon main tere sang mein
ho shaam bhi toh kya
jab hoga andhera
tab payega dar mera
uss dar pe phir hogi teri subah
tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
mit jaate hain…
sabke nishaan
bas ek woh mit-ta nahi.. hey..
maan le jo har mushkil ko
marzi meri
ho humsafar na tera jab koi
tu ho jahan rahoonga main wahi
tujhse kabhi na ek pal bhi main juda
tu na jaane aas pass hain khuda
tu na jaane aas pass hain khuda
tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda

Gym- Dont's!

2011-07-03T11:01:00.006+08:00

Image taken from here

Following are some of the observations I have made in the gym over the last few months, and it really caught me by surprise!

Please don't run on a treadmill wearing a punjabi suit with a shawl and a pair of slippers
Weight lifting with a saree? Seriously?
If you have to talk on the phone, please do it outside the gym, none of us really wanna know your personal stuff and its not a bloody fish market, so please don't scream
I know you have eyes, but that does not justify why you gotta go on staring at people (absolute bad manners!)

The rule is simple- proper attire, proper shoes and talk but not loudly!

Just Babies

2011-05-14T09:36:00.002+08:00

Holla,

It has been 2 months since I have blogged anything,have been pre-occupied with tons of things. A lot of events took place that made me wonder-Life is too short, make it worth living while you are alive! The phrase seem so easy to utter and yet the action taken to make it come true is scary. It is a long journey and a battle. Hope all turns out fine*winks*. Now, coming back, what I really want to talk today is about babies=). Yuppy yup, oh-so cute babies. Do you know the influence of a baby on people? All the little fella has to do is smile and coo, and it turns every adult into a baby! We start talking ridiculous things( in fact worse than the baby at times). We seem to possess extra facial expressions than an average normal adult when we are around a baby. And I used to think who is amusing who. The baby seem to be really amazed and amused with all the facial expression of ours. If you ask me, there is always a "baby" hiding in all of us that is waiting to be brought out in the right circumstance. And for some, we forget they are also humans, we treat them like teddy bears, from cuddling, squeezing, hugging, rubbing noses, pinching cheeks, and that includes me( hehe, cant help it at times). So the next time you see an adult beside a baby, observe him/her, it is really cute. Love you people.Have a blessed day!

When Shah Rukh Proposed, I Said Yes.

2011-03-11T10:23:00.005+08:00

The smell of jasmine flowers and rose incense permeating the air adds to Meera's anxiety. It is not uncommon to get the blend of these sweet smell in an Indian household.But, today, the scent is irritating her olfactory nerve making her nauseous. It is a day she dread-her marriage is to take place this evening.She simply loathes the thought of it. Meera has just turned sixteen two weeks ago and is blessed with a fertile reproductive system seven months ago. When the news of her fertility spread across the neighborhood, as it is celebrated splendidly with the finest sarees, great amount of various Indian food that can feed an entire family for days, the large ladoos and sweets-palkoas, Mysore paks and the blasting Tamil, Hindi and folk songs, it is not a surprise that those who don't even know of her existence are well aware that she is capable of reproducing. As such she got her marriage proposal. Meera happen to be the only daughter to her rich parents and hence very tiny details concerning her is dealt with with uttermost importance and very often in a large scale.She had always felt like a princess. Yet, she had always felt trapped. Her mama and papa are still very orthodox in every way. And that squeezes the life out of her. Meera has a soul of of an eagle. She loves to soar high in life and explore the world is what she intend to do.Like all girls her age, she loves shopping, going through teenage magazines and drooling over John Abraham's six packs and had always dreamed of marrying Shah Rukh Khan and to be a successful working women one day and to fall in love with a man. A man as Meera defines it would be one of those characters in the romance novel that she reads- broad shoulders, smokey eyes, sexy smile and a dashing look that melts any woman's heart, a little mix of Abishek, SRK, Imraan would be amazing!However the news of the proposal had crushed her dreams and discussion with her parents is a battle.Meera knows she can always win a war but never a discussion with her parents.Thus, she gave in without a fight. But she worked up a plan to escape this marriage without bruising her parent's ego.She has decided to talk to the groom into disliking her. "Chechi, the groom is here!" exclaimed Mona, the servant girl. "Hmm, okay Mona." Meera looked out of the window. The welcoming ceremony was grand. It was easy to find her groom in the crowd. He had the most outstanding sherwani. Unfortunately, Meera can't make out his face. But, he was thin build, like any other 20 year old his age. After a while, her mum came running to the room " Mol, Sid wants to talk to you, make sure you talk like a girl.Always be soft spoken and Meera, remember, don't spoil our family name" mum warned with a straight face looking directly into her eye as if she is able to scan through and read Meera's intentions.Mothers and their instincts,creepy, Meera thought to herself.There was something bothering her with the fact that her future husband to be, wanting to talk to her. It was to her advantage however. She can smoothly cajole him into believing she would not make a perfect wife and she will do it simply by showing him the true her- by bringing out the outspoken and extrovert person in her. It was a simple theory that she had known for long.Indian man are never to keen to marry a woman that outshines him in every aspect.They have always been the hunters, the providers and she was sure if she were to show her independent side, she is going to scare her so called future husband to be. The thought of it boost her energy and she is looking forward to meet Sid.

*******************

"Meera?"
His eyes was somewhat a mixture of brown and green.His nose is not all that perfect, however his smile is heart warming. His eyebrows are a little bushy but weirdly it seems to suit him and adds to his charm. He is moderately built, not thin she observed. She can give him credits for his voice, deep, very manly."Manly? What is wrong with you Meera? Tell him that you don't want to marry him, go ahead girl, you can do it, just te......" the voice in her stopped abruptly. She has managed to quiet the voice in her that have been her companion and her guide in deciding what is good and what is bad all these years, but, today, she had manage to take control of that voice.What was happening to her? Why isn't Meera, the extrovert talking!

"Meera right? Hi, I am Sid...(with an akward smile) which I am sure you have heard of. You did didn't you?

"Did what?"

"Heard of my name at least?"

"Oh that, yes, yes, I did, I heard mum mentioning just now"

(smiling shyly)"Thank god, I am glad. You are at least aware of it a few hours before the ceremony.It is bad enough that we have not meet before , it would have been worse if we don't know each others names"

Meera wanted to put on the stern face that she has been practicing the whole afternoon to shoo him away, but it was pointless, she could not resist her laughter.

"Meera, there is exactly two hours left before we tie the knot. I,well... this is not exactly how I had planned for us to get married,Meera. I have all that I need, abundance of wealth, that working hard is not really a requirement.I can provide us both. But, I am a dreamer. I want to craft a name for myself. Earn enough, fall in love and build a home. This is not how I planned everything would work out.You know how our parents are, getting married and producing babies keeps them happy and are their only priority. I am not saying it wont make us happy but it is just that there is still time and there is a lot more that I haven't explore.We are still young, Meera.

Is she dreaming?What was he trying to say? He sounded more like her. She was afraid that he would call off the wedding. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU MEERA SHREE! You dont want to get married and he is making life easier for you. Why are you afraid??? You cant be falling for him!"She could hear her little voice screaming into her eardrums. But she was already falling deep into the mess called love.She liked how he uses us.Somehow it feels complete. Love at first sight? That is so not Meera, but the feeling is pure.

" I never believed in love at first sight."

"What? Meera almost screamed. Was this man reading her mind just like her mother does?
I mean, sorry, what were you saying?"

"I was saying I never believed in love at first sight. I have always wanted to fall in love and to get to know the lady well enough until I take the next step. Sort of like in the movies, falling in love and then shaadhi."

"Is there singing and dancing as well?" Meera asked innocently.

( laughing) " No, really no, I mean I wouldn't mind, if you would teach me?"

Okay, was he asking for her hand in marriage. Meera feels stupid, because she is well aware that she was going to marry him but she teaching him dancing and singing sounded more like a proposal to her.

"Are you proposing? she blurted. She knew she was blushing. She could almost see her red reflection on his face. He let out a laughter.

"Well, I see you are quite fast at picking up hints."( rather cynically smiling)

"Of course, if you think you were going to marry a plain housewife that would shake her head to all you have to say, than I am sorry to disappoint you. I am not one!" What got into Meera was not known, she had to say what was in her mind. Normally, this would end up in a serious verbal war. But the way Meera expressed herself was childlike and Sid couldn't stop giggling.

"So, you are more of Meera the extrovert huh? "

"Yes!"

"Well, than Meera the extrovert, will you marry and than fall in love with me? You see I don't want to get married to a plain housewife that would shake her head to all I have to say. I want to marry the person who will make my life colorful and you happen to be the one. So,what you say?"

Do you know anything about sea horses?

"What!?" Sid couldn't help laughing. "Hmm, what has sea horses got to do with what I just asked?

"Do you know or not?"

"Hmm, let me see....well,the male sea horse gets pregnant. Oh, common, you want me to bear our babies, that's what this is about. Okay than, done. I am not so sure how we are going to do it, but we can work something out." Sid laughed out loud.

Meera was annoyed, but he truly had his way of making her laugh.

"No,no not that....Yes, Sid" she instantly said, she never gave it a thought. No, she didn't.Neither did she listen to the voice. It was her decision. She knows she loved him.He was her Shah Rukh Khan.She knows her parents are not getting her married to a male chauvinist pig. He was different. He was willing to bear their babies,after all. Meera knows how stupid she was to let emotions influence her decision but yet it felt right.

"Yes to what Meera?" He took a step closer to her. With each step, she felt butterflies in her tummy flying crazily. He held her hands and slowly cupped her face and she could feel his breath on her skin.Warm and it was driving her to madness. "Yes to what Meera?" he repeated.

(clearing her throat) " Yes, Sid, I will marry you"

He very gently kissed her. She froze but her body knew how to respond to the kiss. Probably it was all the romance novel that she have been reading that helped her or, well ,it could simply be love. She is now ready to fall in love.

The wedding that she dreaded had turned out to be her dream wedding. That night, when Sid was working his magic with his hands on her body, he couldn't resist himself from asking her.

" So what is wrong with the sea horses?"

"Seahorses are monogamous, they stick with one mate for lifelong"

He smiled. " I am one now honey,forever your seahorse"

She smiled.

" I can still help you bear our babies though" he added.

She slapped him naughtily on his shoulders and whispered " I want to have your babies. It is an order."

"As you please princess, lets start making one now."

10 Minutes Of My Life

2011-02-04T13:41:00.003+08:00

I walked into this shop the other day to pack myself dinner. Oh by the way, I just realized, I have been ordering the same food lately. Despite scanning through the menu, I would still end up choosing the same thing.Hmmm. What's happening to me??? Anyway that apart, so I had 10 minutes for them to pack me my dinner( it was "phat-phet rice by the way, incase you were wondering=)), so I did the usual, looking around at all the happy faces.All of which looked pretty content with their meal. There was a Punjabi family on my right. And I am darn sure I heard the man talking "medical".Yup, there were words like "hospital" , " working", "doctor", "medicine" and so forth. That's the thing about this restaurant, it has more of the medical vibe too it.Freaky! Than, there was the Chinese family in front of me. A sudden music, getting louder and louder was heard. Than the Chinese lady started looking frantically into her hand bag, she looked like she had seizures.Ah, finally she found it.Her ringing phone.She took the call outside.As she left I cant stop noticing how she was dressed. It was really nice.Her skin tight black leggings that she matched with a navy blue top and a broad brown belt surrounding her small waist and her beautiful locks with streaks of brown and red. Sorry, I really did not notice her face. And, that was ten minutes.My food was done. And I went home...

Just a random 10 minutes in my life. Did I mention I love observing people.And oh yes while I did all this my fingers was busy working on my hand phone to delete some old messages...Is there a job that requires you to sit, observe and than write. I would be the first to apply and I will start with KL Sentral ( filled with people from all walks of life-no joke)

When Death Is Inevitable

2011-02-01T18:35:00.003+08:00

We all have gone through the "feeling of heaven on earth" or at least most of us did.We often know what heaven is on earth.But, do you know what is a living hell?When the one you love most is not going too survive long, you know it and yet you cant do much, and you are forced to keep the smile plastered on your face and to endure each day with so called positivity when really nothing much can be done. Death and to witness one die in front of your eyes can never beat any other pain in life. And that is one image that will never get erased from your memory.But, you would just prefer to brush off and carry on. Today, I watched one such movie that depicted the life of a man suffering and wanted to end his life. Guzarish. A lot of memories came back-the pain, the suffering, the laughter that speaks of sadness, the heart that cries, everything portrayed is something that I can connect too. It is one good movie.Watch it if you are strong at heart, otherwise don't. Great day all!

Is There A Life Manual To Lead Our Lives?

2011-01-22T22:04:00.003+08:00

We go through each day with a lot of decision makings. There are some who stand firm with our own decisions and some plain fickle. Now, whichever category you are in, there is always one basic similarity and that is reassurance.Yes, reassurance. No matter how old you are, we always fall back on someone who we know would be there for us all the time to get an approval or an idea of any kind of decision making, no matter how trivial it is. It is really not about the lack of confidence or whatsoever, it is more of self- satisfaction, to have someone to reassure you that you are doing the right thing. Take God for instance. He takes the top place in the hierarchy of trust, there is nothing beyond Him. Hence, when we find ourselves in deep shit and nothing else works, we fall back to him. We comfort ourselves by telling that He will help. It is a form of reassurance ( only difference is that God never talks but carries out the action).

And than there are days, when we get around to do something, and it leaves you wondering, if this is the right thing? What if it does not work? I have at many occasion come to a point that I wonder if I am doing the right thing. Is this path that I am taking, the correct path for me, or what if it is not. Despite a lot of reassurance , there is always one person that constantly keeps questioning and that is- YOURSELF. I guess that is what is meant by challenge. Take it, if it is not your cup of tea, choose the other path. After all, life is an experience. But there are just times when life becomes too complicated and you wonder if God can throw you a manual to guide you through...

Judith McNaught's Love Stories

2011-01-12T14:38:00.004+08:00

My favourite writer: Judith McNaught

Favourite books: Everything written by Judith McNaught(just finished Tender Triumph)

What I love most: Her spellbinding love stories, that brings you to another world.The beautiful description of the powerful masculinity of her heroes portrayed so well that it stays in your mind for ages after reading it(sometimes longing for the presence of such a man, no joke, such is the effect of it). And, mostly the happy ending;)

In total: LOVED THEM ALL( both the books & the characters;) *winks*

I Can't Think Of A Tittle

2011-01-11T23:25:00.003+08:00

There is something about falling in love. When it all happens too fast, and than you ask yourself is this what you want?There is a missing puzzle in my life at the moment, a feeling even I can't describe, something missing, a feeling of loosing someone or something if I make this decision.There is something holding me back, but I don't know what it is. Something that stops me in my path from going any further...

Just felt like scribbling something;) Great day all! Good night.

As Night Falls...(II)

2011-01-08T01:23:00.002+08:00

As night falls,
Hesitantly taking each step
She looks around
Her heart thumping,
Working incoherently
With her inner peace
Silence
Is her best friend
But darkness
Weakens her strength
Along with the sounds of crickets
For music
Fear became her companion
The coldness of the air
Sends shivers down her spine
She tightened her grip on her side bag
Her nails dug into the depth of the leather skin
Leaving behind imprints
She quickened her steps
Almost running now
She arrived at her destination
The wooden shed,
Will be her temporary home
She fell asleep along with the fear
Buried within her
But there was no peace
She feels vulnerable and exposed
She is sleeping
Yet awake...

As Night Falls...

2011-01-08T00:27:00.002+08:00

As night falls,
Hesitantly taking each step
She looks around
Her heart thumping,
Working incoherently
With her inner peace
Silence
Is her best friend
But darkness
Weakens her strength
Along with sounds of crickets
For music
Fear became her companion
The coldness of the air
Sends shivers down her spine
She tightened her grip on her side bag
Her nails dug into the depth of the leather skin
Leaving behind imprints
She quickened her steps
Almost running now
She arrived at her destination
And reached for the door
Before she could do anything
The door magically unlocks itself
"Welcome home,honey"
She took one more step
A new feeling floods through her
Safety it is
And all the fear she left behind the closed doors...

Love, A Painful Bliss

2010-12-28T18:44:00.007+08:00

Love,
Beautiful,
Yet Painful,
Freedom it offers,
Yet trapped in an emotional circle,

Love,
Makes you wise,
Yet the slave of it,
Reassures happiness,
Yet empty promises

Love
Gives you wings
Yet ties you down
Gives you hope
Yet breaks your faith

Love
Glorifies you like a sun
Saddens you like dark clouds
Love
Takes away your breath
Yet put an end to life
Love,
Can be the start
or the end
After all, it is love
Loving Obsessively
Vulnerability Eternally

Appendix & Wise Sayings

2010-12-28T11:35:00.003+08:00

People have always overlooked the functions of an appendix. It has always been labeled the organ without a function. So, let me clear your doubts on it and tell you the sole purpose of the existence of an appendix.

Firstly,it is by far considered the most precious gift to the humans called house-officers.

The first diagnosis you are probably going to make when you are posted to the surgical department would be that of an acute appendicitis without the help of your senior houseman. (There, now, doesn't that boost your confidence)

The first operation you are going to assist and do own your own would probably be an appendectomy and probably a few more appendectomies throughout your posting.( Practice makes perfect and makes you a better person)

You can call home and tell mum that you performed an operation successfully. There, it earns you pride and you make her happy. ( I sure hope your mum is not anywhere in the medical lline, otherwise you would not get that overwhelming response=)

So the next time someone tells you there is no value for appendix. Prove them wrong, tell them it is a precious gift born to serve the house officers. It boosts your ego, confidence, keeps you and the people around you happy! I love the appendix=)

P/S= No offense intended to any surgeons!

No man is an island. Each of us need someone-be it a good friend,mum,dad,sister,brother, and grandparents.Someone to share our lives with. But to witness? To have someone to witness our life requires a soul mate. He/she will see you through every step you take. He/she becomes a pillar, a new found energy and strength to move on. See, the thing is not many of us ask for help if we needed one, so many boundaries and restrictions we place on ourselves to make that one step, but with a spouse it never happens.Somehow all ego gets broken, and we portray and share our emotions and our faith and place our trust on that one person. That's the reason why when a person loses his/her sincere first love due to unfaithfulness, it takes ages for them to come out of it. They have bared their raw soul to that one person and trusted them with all their heart. When it is broken, it leaves behind a deep scar and take ages to heal or the life is ended before the scar could even heal. Neither do they give a chance to themselves nor to the one who will be sincerely loving them in the future. Or they simply move on or commit themselves into relationships out of 'no choice' excuses.It is a pity because life does not just stop there.People fail to see there is more to life than just one failure.Often things happen for a reason.Why not look at the positive side of it. Even if it is not apparent than and there, it would be one day. You just have to start looking. Why not give yourself a second chance.You deserve one!

Asking Him Out On A Date?

2010-12-24T20:18:00.003+08:00

Is it wrong to ask a guy out on a date? I mean I don't see the harm in it. You like someone and you want to get to know the person, you go for it. I used to think it is only right if the guy do so. Only right if he asks. But than again, how long do we have to wait before he asks? What if never does? Than what happens. It is different in this century, if we don't make the move, you will never know, you might miss THE one. Anyway it is not even to get married, it is just to get to know the person, that's all. So with that said, I shall make the move;) I know, I am crazy. I don't have the guts but think I will give it a shot. I wont be seeing him anymore in 2 months time, so what the hell, right? (This is worse than sitting for an exam)Directly I don't dare but indirectly I have a way of connecting with this one man I am crazy about, so let's see, which one I prefer. I need flower petals .... Anyone?

p/s= Any of you ladies have asked a man out? *winks*

This moment

2010-12-23T21:13:00.006+08:00

Holla!
It is almost a month since I blogged.Been really busy with tons of things, some of which are as follows:

studies (top most)

toothache for the last 6 weeks (freaking painful; the worst pain I have ever
encountered so far!No kidding)

pain killer induced sleepiness( never take 2 tablets of Voltarene at one go, it is a
bad idea, you will be totally knocked out:I had a hard time keeping awake: as if
someone activated my sleep center in the brain! and this happened a night
before my exams)

bedside exams

classes, classes and classes

3 birthday parties to attend to(one every week: of course one of which was mine;)

And currently, falling in love with the most gorgeous man i know since the day i set my eyes on him and he is real ;)) I do not know what love is but if this is what
it is, than it is totally beautiful and I am loving it! ( the best part is my hormones
are not even fluctuating: its my heart that keeps skipping a beat:) Looking
forward to meet him again very soon...

Congratulations to my sister who just gave birth to a baby boy!I am a proud
aunty!

Been busy after the floods in my place.The aftermath of it is seriously bad! This
is the first time I am dealing with natural disaster, but I thank the lord for so
many things!

I got to know a friend really close and learned a lot about other people's lives.

I love hibernating once in a while which I did over the last one month and cant
wait for Feb to do so again!=)

Watched Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and it was awesome.It has been long since
Bollywood produced beautiful love stories as such.So,go watch it!

Oh skipped the last day of my class that was supposed to be taken by a so called
very important lecturer to watch Rapunzel.Had to sneak out very carefully from
the class. But, God had different plans, my car broke down & had to be towed
away with me and a friend in it! It is super cool to sit in a car that is being towed
away( feel like a royalty=)) Anyway, I managed to catch the 3pm movie=) Loved
Rapunzel and Flint Rider!

- Yup, I think that is pretty much what happened. So, I have to get back to studies!
Love you people and I love life ( who said it sucks?). It is a God given gift, the
only thing that never ceases to stop even when the worst happens, so enjoy every
minute of it, okay? Spread the joy.

Happy Birthday To Me

2010-11-29T15:03:00.002+08:00

Just Another Beautiful Saturday

2010-11-27T06:59:00.003+08:00

Beautiful day.Morning all. I love Saturday. Lets see, plans for today:
- to temple
- buy a box of chocolate with a thank you note as a gift for a friend
(she has been a darling=)
- study with no stress
- and hopefully go to the hospital at night to clerk some patients

This coming exams are really freaking me out. Everyone , all my friends I mean, are leaving in their own world and are different. I, well, have not been doing things as per time. So today, I shall pen down things to be done in the next two months. A schedule to get me through my papers. I know each of us are different, but sometimes the competition can be really high, and that leaves you thinking if you have not done enough. Anyways, wish me luck! Its time to really get things done and to have all this negative thoughts, worries and stress stored away. God bless me=) Love you people. Hope all your good dreams come true today. And remember, try sending out positive energy, because as the saying goes what goes around comes around! Oh, just to add and to share with you wonderful people, this is the quote from my calendar that's on my table:

"Change your thoughts and you change your world"
-Norman Vincent Peale-

Love you.Bear hug to all.

Acha, Me And The Perfect Cup of Tea

2010-11-20T19:38:00.002+08:00

I felt like having tea today after cleaning up my room. I usually never do my own tea.Its always amma who makes them for me, especially her super tasty masala tea! But, today, I was just so badly craving for it. And, so I did make myself a cup. Just than, I got back all the memories of making tea for acha years ago. Its routine acha always has two cups of tea- mid morning and in the late afternoon. Whenever amma used to be away at work, its only acha,divu(my niece) and me at home. So, I so very often used to make dad a cup of tea. But, it was more than a routine rather than something that I have to do. I never made it from my heart. I don't think I did. He never complained though, not even once. He drank faithfully. I made and he drank.You see, I am never really good at making tea nor coffee.It never comes easily for me. Even till now. I have always stuck with the 3-1's that is convenient and had a better taste. All through the years, twice acha complimented me. He said the tea was perfect. It was in perfect composition. I very often used to think really? The tea I make can turn out that well. But the irony of it all is, out of the 365 cups of tea per year that I did, and that is only for one year I am counting, I never made the perfect cup of tea. I just made, for the sake of it, I forgot that acha was drinking it.It was more of a routine. And yet he never complained, not even once, he never did. It only struck me today, cause my cup of tea was awful, it tasted like sugar dissolved in water when it was supposed to taste like tea. I felt a sense of regret. If he was here today, I would have served him with the perfect cup of tea all my life....

The Praying Mantis That Prays

2010-11-13T00:55:00.002+08:00

Found this little fella praying on my house porch. He sat there for a few hours , not moving much, except that it turned its head for the photo shot=). Cute isn't he?

Look, What I Have Found

2010-11-03T12:47:00.006+08:00

See, see, I found my file that I decorated when I was at the age of...(hmmm, I have forgotten), but never mind, I did it when I was a small kid, that I am sure.Pretty ain't it?=)

SS moment=) Hehe

Home SWEET Home

2010-11-03T11:36:00.007+08:00

Going back home had always been an adventure for me. Besides the major cleaning to do, there is always a feeling of satisfaction and happiness. A feeling so beautiful. Yes, I am back home=) One week break and tons of cleaning ( really, tons). Plus, the joy of having everyone at home this festive season even if it is for a day, is one of my best moments in life.So, yes I am indeed looking forward to it albeit all the work. Now, washing and cleaning are all considered normal stuff but there are also other work that not many people will have the "opportunity" of doing after coming home in such a long long time. Well this opportunity was created by the.... "RATS".. argghhh! So here are some of the photos of my lovely break.So, here is the treasure. Rat shit! Dear ratty rat, kindly find a different place to shit and pee. My mum is really upset with you people. Don't spoil my holiday. As much as I think you are cute and all, please use the loo.It is just beside the kitchen,okay?

More treasure.Arghhh!Hmmm...this calls for patience!

=) Yeah mangoes. Mommy and me collecting these wonderful things.Yum, yum! While cherecha (uncle) is on the tree, giving it a real hard shake so that all the mangoes will drop down. Something that usually acha used to do.Finally,me=)) That's acha's hat on my head. He used to use it each time he is doing work. Ahh, I LOVE home! Totally!

P/S= Have to get back to studying very soon:P. Adios.Love Ya People! Happy Diwali!

Meet Mr.X:Reformed or Multiple Personality Disorder

2010-10-19T21:39:00.004+08:00

This is Mr.X and his car.A picture that I drew yesterday.Now the big cross over his face is not by me it is by the friend of mine who wanted Mr.X to have a heart attack. Anyway, today,is the third day of class. And.... Mr.X was an angel.No kidding! We saw a reformed man. A man with full of philosophy. And when Mr.X is talking 'professional', he really talks professional. No one person has got my full attention in the many years but Mr.X did( okay a little too exaggerated, maybe some people manage to get my attention). What I am really trying to say is that I have got a short attention span, and today I was so engaged with the way Mr.X spoke. I am serious , no sarcasm here, he is good when he wants to be otherwise he is plain psycho. And I liked him today. Was he really a reformed man or is he having a multiple personality disorder?

P/S= As much as he was a nice man and my friend and I would like to revive him from the 'impending' stroke and heart attack , there are still a majority of them who do not like/trust Mr.X.

Continuous...

Slow Day And Hand Art

2010-10-18T20:29:00.004+08:00

This is the result of the last day of being in the Orthopedics department. Plus, it was an extremely slow day as if the clocks have all temporarily stopped working, nevertheless it was a beautiful day.As a result, we ended up with hand art (is there such a thing?) .That is my hand=) and the work of art is by Priya. Cute ain't it?
On another note...my specialist told us that he was not around for the weekend, he went for the motor GP. I thought it was so exciting and cool, so my curious button got turned on and also my blur button (I have no idea where is it placed) , so I innocently asked "Sir, u took part in the motor GP or were you just a spectator?" ( Either way I thought is so cool for him to attend it) .He looked at me in confusion and answered rather pitifully "No, I went as the medical team in charged of sports injury" and PUFF!!! My curious bubble burst. "Oh", is all I could say and followed by fits of laughter from the class=)

p/s=Funny, but I am missing orthopedics posting!

Meet Mr.X

2010-10-18T19:23:00.004+08:00

Meet Mr. X. He is a psychiatrist. Now, this is a brief summary on Mr.X that took place in less than 24 hours. First, he makes us go on a 2 hour journey ( to & fro) for classes. We were told to be there at 8.30 and so we did. Waiting....still waiting, there Mr.X walks in at 9.2o, pheww, finally! Mr.X thinks this place has got snow, hence explains the blazer that he wears 24-7. One glance, and you might be fooled into thinking he is the new pub singer in town.No, absolutely not! Mr.X is a psychiatrist. Second day of class, thus Mr.X feels it is his utmost responsibility to make our lives miserable. Some of his words uttered at 9.45 am are as follows:

You all are a lazy bunch of people
I can't tolerate this D-I-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G (please stress to give it the extra effect) attitude! ( If I am not mistaken this was the same line uttered by Kareena's fiance in the movie 3 idiots,hmm,talking about originality)
I will neglect all of you!
You can bring a horse to the water, but you can't make it drink.

Next goes the poor boy to start his presentation.Now, Mr.X, the psychiatrist, is buzy with his phone for the next 20 minutes. The poor boy hasn't got the perfect command of language, it is broken, so what happens next? Mr.X, the psychiatrist thinks it is time he came back in action, so poor boy gets scolding and was sent back to his chair. Next,comes the second poor boy, well he ended up with the same fate. So at 10.00am, Mr.X says:

This is ridiculously stupid! ( Yes , Mr.X is a psychiatrist, you are right!)

Oh, did I mention in between those ridiculously stupid presentation, Mr.X, the PSYCHIATRIST had his left leg rested on the top of the chair in front of him (talking about disgusting characters), and voila removes his foot few seconds later. Now, Mr.X is angry, so he wants the topic presentations to start. So, goes the third know-how-to-survive-boy, he talks, and talks, at 10.10 am, the electricity decides to play its role by taking a few minutes off, so we were in darkness.Hmm, now funny enough, this did not make Mr.X angry, instead he was hungry, so he decides to go for breakfast. At 10.12 am ,right before his breakfast journey starts, he says "Please do not waste my time if you all are not interested". Pity third know-how-to-survive-boy, electricity caused him dishonor from Mr.X. Now, being a psychiatrist , Mr.X decides to be considerate and to come back after 50 minutes to take the class, that included the time taken to eat and partially digest the food. Class starts at 11.02 am till 11.53 am. Being a busy man, Mr.X went on meddling with his phone throughout the class.

The story does not just end there. Of course not. The fourth victim decides to try her luck, so she goes forward to say "sorry". What do you think Mr.X the psychiatrist would have said? "Three words I dislike in English, and one of it is sorry" ( no prize for guessing which Tamil movie actor said this=) (Yes , I am also curious what are the other two words). This is the story of Mr.X, the psychiatrist.And you know what is the best part of it, Mr.X is a PSYCHIATRIST!

It took 93 minutes to know:

Mr.X is a male chauvinist pig
Many wanted him to have a heart attack
Some preferred hemorrhagic stroke as it carries a worse prognosis
He is a dominating ,boatsful, loves-himself male
He sold his Mercedes Benz as it was a temporary habitat for cockroaches and bought a new one

Difficult facts to digest:

HE IS A PSYCHIATRIST!

Wrong Diagnosis & I Broke Down

2010-10-10T01:25:00.004+08:00

I have been having this nagging knee pain for a long time now.It got severe and I finally decided to see the doctor to clarify things. All went well and I got the X-rays done. And than it was time to review the x-rays in my presence of course. Before the film could pop up in the screen, she asked me to be strong, instead I told "no worries, all will be fine." Than, there it was. The density that I saw, I teared. She said she will get it reviewed and get a second opinion from the consultant. I waited restlessly.And at one point of time I could no longer hold my emotions and I started crying. Few hours later she called me up. I went to meet her telling myself all the time to be strong. Puff! the balloon was deflated! Boy , was I glad to know it was a wrong diagnosis. I was advised for a physiotherapy instead and to come again if the pain persists.

Now, that was the situation. It was a few hours of emotional downturn in my life. And the one person that came to my mind was dad. Part of me told myself to be positive and the other half just could no longer hold the tears anymore. But I was sure glad to know it was all fine. That day made a lot of difference and thought me a lot of new things.

p/s= I was totally drained out of energy that day and all I needed at the end of the
day was my bed and my sleep!

God Keep My Lecturers Sane!

2010-10-10T00:23:00.005+08:00

(*This post is written purely after witnessing some lecturers behave*)As one gets older, one gets wiser! Now,that's common saying. But it does not apply to all. What I have observed is that as one gets older, one gets sarcastic, cynical and is filled with ego. And this apply true to most male lecturers, whose body pores are clogged with egoistic dust that do not allow them to breathe. Imagine this one lecturer who never gets satisfied with anything you do or rather I do in this context.He says things rather blandly.He behaves worst than my 8 year old nephew! I mean common if we knew all the things we would not be students we would be lecturers. How hard I try to please him, he always has that sarcastic smile that says tons of mean things without even uttering a single word.There was once , when he took our class and he talked something about knowing our subjects in and out, so he came up with this " If you know something so well, you can apply it in everything you do" next came the example of it - "I will horizontalize your perpendicularity" (apparently something uttered by a mathematician when he got angry with someone). Well, apparently that's the only thing about the entire class that I remember. He is so rigid. Wish he was a little flexible. Despite all this nonsense I still like him. And reasons for that? Because he reminds me of acha- certain things he talk, his nose ( a little long but almost similar), his cheeks especially, his colour and his spectacles ( same colour frame and size but it only lacks that extra smaller lens that there is in the middle like acha does) and to a certain extent his rigidity ( I remember having to remind acha how to smile all the time). Well he is still okay to a certain extent. But the worst is this other old man with titles attach to his name. All of those titles gives him respect anywhere and everywhere he goes, no the title is not GOD and yet he behaves like one. It gives me the shivers each time he smiles cause it is reeking in impurity and extremely fake. Boastful, definitely he is! My god , he deems respect all the time. We HAVE to listen to him and yet he asks for opinions from us when at the end of the day he is sticking with his decisions. A real pain! And totally makes our lives miserable. Favoritism is his in thing. If he likes a student, than it never matters how freaking stupid you are and you will always be liked. That's totally insane! The older he grows, the more crazy he gets. The only thing that is good about him is that he takes good lectures on a certain topic , otherwise I would not have an itsybitsy respect for him. On another note I was with a frustrated guy friend few days ago when he said this "Honesty does not serve its purpose , you must know how to survive" How true!

Breasts:Not All That Pretty

2010-10-03T20:23:00.003+08:00

Breasts have always been a sexual attraction to all men and a self confidence tool to females , thus it is never rare to find women wanting to perform breast enhancing surgeries to please both the genders. Now , the issue comes when a male has breasts. Not that I am saying they don't, they do , but what if it were to be as the size of a female breast, that too on a 14 year old boy. This is a syndrome. It is called the Klinefelter syndrome, when the male has an extra X sex chromosome. I spoke to a 44 year old male today, he was fine till suddenly he said that he had to stop schooling due to gynocomastia ( this is the term for a male with increased breast tissue) . I was shocked. I know somewhere in my notes not too long ago, I read about people with this syndrome being depressed due to psychosocial implications. It was just a line back than but today I saw the real meaning behind those words. This man who had this problem since childhood was afraid to go to school. He had a surgery done at the age of 18 for the removal of excess breaststissue. But it had robbed him of his childhood and adolescence. He was psychologically affected. I was left speechless when he asked "Why this happened to him?". He probably when through a lot more, this was just superficial. What all can a small defect in the genes do to a person?

Tears Of Joy

2010-09-27T23:21:00.003+08:00

You know there are times when that one person that you least expected walks in to your life and leave behind footprints and you want to treasure them forever. That one person, who brings tears of joy in your life. Yes, tears of joy!When he leaves you speechless and you are overwhelmed with emotions, happiness it is. That one man is none other than my Orthopedics lecturer, Dr.Ashutosh S Rao. I never really had any sort of connection with him, but today it was different. I saw another side of him that I liked. He was generous at giving compliments. He would be the one person I would have least expected to realize my presence, but I was so wrong. He was a fatherly figure. I just like him. There , I said it.I felt like a daughter that is obliged to listen to my father praise , scold and care- that was the sort of atmosphere he created. For the first time in my life, I was overcome with tears of joy. And the feeling is beautiful! Made my day! I have never really mentioned about any lecturer in particular, but he was one of the memories that I want to preserve. It was my memory and it is beautiful! He makes us better doctors.

P/S= This post was created for a future reference. 50 years down this journey, when I am old and grey,I want to be able to look back at those special people who left their footprints in my heart...And he is one of them.

I Hate Love Story

2010-09-25T09:01:00.008+08:00

In love with "I hate luv story". It is a simple story. It is nothing like DDLJ @ K2H2. Simple, that's all.But why do I love it so much?It is Imraan Khan. He played his role well , that boyish thing that he portrayed was adorable! He reminds me of Santiago( from Miss Tres Hermanes). And when Imraan wore the red shirt with all the red background to go with the mood---it was, omg, romantic! I love guys who can really pull off a red shirt=)

So here goes, some of the pics from the movie

Hmmm=) Didn't I tell you! Wish I could have gotta a better picture, but yeah that's the red shirt!

I can look at this pic the whole day!

Santiago@Ricardo. Just for a comparison. Don't they have some amount of similiarity?

=)

Own Space?

2010-09-18T17:08:00.005+08:00

In life, we will always need someone to fall back on. Someone to say "yeah you are right".Someone to give a pat on the shoulder and say " Don't worry". Someone for us to cry to. No one man can live on their own. In the name of responsibilities, we go all out,we claim we want our own space. Own space? Yeh "own space" ka matlap kia hai? What is own space? Living in an empty house and to come home to a house with absolute peace and no noise? Is this own space? It could be, but it depends on how long do you want the peace and no noise. Imagine walking into a house with kids running, full of noise, yet full of life, a mum/dad/wife/husband to ask you how was your day. You still have someone to talk to if you need to complain about your boss. You may not get the absolute quietness but there is a self satisfaction that you get.A joy you can never trade for anything else. When happiness becomes a routine,you will not realize the value of it. Now, imagine walking into the same home that was filled with joy and life once upon a time and now absolutely empty.There you have got the happiness you are seeking for. The absolute quietness you want is granted. One week, than a month, a year goes by. Why do you feel tired at the end of it, when you have absolutely no attachment and no commitments? Now you ask for the same noise that once filled your house, the same faces that you see everyday.Why? Because despite having your own space, there will always be an emptiness in you. An emptiness that can only be filled by the ones you love. So the next time you say you want your own space and your own life. Think again! You are not kidding anyone. We quite often say hello and greet strangers that we meet once in a while in life but we fail to do so to those we see everyday at home? Why does this happen?Learn to give small appreciation to the one living in your heart rather than to the one's who walk right in and out of your heart... It happens..when you so often see a person and suddenly the person is not there, you miss them. Hard facts of life- You learn to appreciate when you loose something, you never know how precious they are till you loose them...So do me a favour, and wish a loud good morning to your family members tomorrow. Saying I love you will not bruise your ego in anyway either, so give it at try! Love you all. Happy Saturday!

Recovering

2010-09-16T17:34:00.004+08:00

Holla! Still in the recovering phase. Down with a bad cough and flu. When I mean bad it is really bad. I feel defeated when I am sick. So helpless and I can't get myself to do anything. Anyway managed to pull myself up and went to the government outpatient department. Waited for 2 hours and met the doctor for 5 minutes and got my antibiotics. I was the second last patient on the list by the way. Feeling a whole lot better than yesterday, definitely! Wished mum was here to take care of me and pamper me. It would have been more comforting. Anyway, my voice sounds much sexier and huskier now that it is muffled by the yellowish phlegm, inflamed tonsils and sore throat=). Oh, did I mention that I also got a free advice from the doctor on my final exams. She is such a sweetheart. So as you can see, I spent the last three days on bed, coughing and spitting ( not that I am not doing it now, I still am coughing and spitting but just that I am sitting) . During which I watched Julia & Julie yesterday and today ( just now). I had no idea why a friend of mine thought I would love the movie. I mean, it was nice, okay to put it bluntly I did not like the way Julia spoke, it ticked me off so badly ( probably cause I was sick). My apologies to all her fan, don't get offended, it is just my general well being that is blocking my thought process.On another note, one of my friend is getting married next year and they are meeting up this weekend to pick a date to tie the knot.It is so crazy, I mean wow, sounds like some serious grown up stuff.Wishing her all the best! Anyway I am off to google the real face behind the characters played by Meryl and Amy Adams.Just curious. Love you all.

It Is Love

2010-08-31T10:26:00.004+08:00

I love love. The feeling is so beautiful. It makes you pretty. You feel excited. It gives you the thrill of looking forward for the next day. A form of energy that comes endlessly. You are surrounded by the positive vibe. Nothing else matters. Music adds on a double joy to the feeling. The songs of love. Makes you think if they were written only for you. You wait hours for him. That one call you wait for the whole day keeps you going. The second you hear his voice, it melts your heart. All your troubles find their way out of the door. You talk like you are the only two people around. Everything about it is so beautiful. It changes anyone into a poet. You try hard to write the most beautiful verses of love, though you fail at it, yet it is the best one ever written to the significant other. Such is the power of love. It is like a magic.Love heals anything on the path it takes...

Cascada:Everytime We Touch

2010-08-28T00:06:00.004+08:00

I still hear your voice, when you sleep next to me.
I still feel your touch in my dreams.
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why
Without you it's hard to survive.

Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
'Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so...
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.

Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky.
They wipe away tears that I cry.
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all.
You make me rise when I fall.

'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
'Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so...
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.

'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.

p/s=M totally addicted to this song!

An Angel She Is...

2010-08-23T19:45:00.008+08:00

You take one look at her and you go like "God,she is so beautiful". Her baby soft white skin, shiny brown hair and a perfect pair of eyes to go with it will never miss your attention. She never fails to smile. Her happy demeanor will keep you wondering what a perfect piece of God's creation she is. But, beneath all that, one may never know that she is diagnosed with a syndrome: the Angelman's Syndrome. Just like you I was puzzled, she has a problem? She looks picture perfect. But spend another 10 minutes and you will know, she is hyper in her actions. She can never sit in a place and has a short attention span and constantly there was drooling of saliva and prefers to hold the pen with her legs. She approaches you with big bright smile that will warm your heart and within seconds will make her way to pull out everything in your pocket. This syndrome was definitely new to me.Whatever it is, she will always remain as my cute little wingless angel...

Now, That's My Old Man

Grandpa wins 1 year's supply of doughnuts

See, the happy man above? He is none other than dad's brother. He is like what Shrek describes,like an onion, as you peel of each layer you get to see the warm and caring heart in it. That truly describes him. A warm, caring and loving person whom you know you can count on. Anyway the fact that he waits for hours for doughnuts never surprises me in anyway at all, that is so him! So, enjoy che-re-cha (uncle).Congratulations!

From as early as 6am, Krispy Kreme fans queued patiently as they grabbed the chance to be one of the first 100 customers to stand in line to receive lasting supplies of delectable treats from Krispy Kreme in celebration of their Shah Alam outlet opening.

The outlet’s first customer that purchased a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts received a golden ticket, entitling the winner to a full year’s supply of Krispy Kreme’s mouth-watering doughnuts, redeemable weekly for 52 weeks. Mr Gopalan Nair waited patiently outside the mall throughout the whole of Thursday night before the outlet’s official opening at 10.00am on Friday morning.

“My nephew and niece were the ones that told me about the new outlet opening. I came to Plaza Shah Alam to check it out and registered as the first person in line! I am 63 years old, but I am doing this for the young ones. I stayed the whole night so that I could win the one-year’s supply, and make them happy,” says Mr Gopalan, tired but ecstatic with joy.

I Am No Ordinary Girl

2010-08-14T13:07:00.004+08:00

I can't and rather not walk in heels ( Comfort is the in thing for me)
The last time I did, I found the heels to be one step ahead of me, thank heavens my feet was still intact to my body
Skirts and dresses are stored in my once -in-a-blue moon closet
Pink is not my favourite colour
I love to make babies cry, it amuses me, especially the change in their expression..aww, lovely( No, I am not a sadist!)
I fight with kids (I am not childish!)
If I am with a man,please, you do not expect me to eat 10 % of what you are eating, I am not good at I-gotta-be-prim n proper-in front of him-thing ( So not me!)
I fight equally for what is right and love even more
I would like to declare that I am aware that I am an emotionally sensitive creature, and gets easily wounded
If I like you, than I would do anything to keep you happy
I don't flaunt designer hand bags ( In fact I don't even know the existence of some of them)
Worst still even if you have bought a fake one, I would never know ( Now, that's a happy news for you)
I am not so much of the hand bag carrying person either
I don't do much of a dress up either
Now this is a creepy thing, I love to look at girls that are dressed up from head to toe, like they have got a nice diamante head bands, cute little pink dresses with flowers, the latest sandals from......( fill in whatever shop you like) and of course the trendiest bag with nicely manicured and designed nails, and accessories to match,... and each time I look at them I go like wow, how does she manage to do that? Really, how do you guys do that? Love you girls! ( I am totally straight, as much as I like my gender, I am attracted to the opposite gender much more)
I do not have the baby soft hands like most of them do
I love Kareena Kapoor ( I happen to be the only one in my group of friends who like her,hmm)
I seem to like those who many do not like ( The good thing is I never judge anyone based on what others say, I do the judgement on my own!)
When I was small , I have always had this funny idea-1) I have always imagine putting on many layers of gloves and touching the moon and as the gloves melt away, I imagine falling on to mattresses that are being laid on the road ( Crazy? I know) 2) I have always wanted to stand in the middle of a road whereby in one area its raining and the other it is sunny, actually I still do till now ( Talking about childhood imaginations)
I played a prank on my close friend when I was 12 by giving her a love letter as if it was from an admirer.
I memorized Richard Marx's "Right here waiting for you" when I was 9 and also the song "Sonia" from the movie Ratchakan when I was 11.
The song "Kau Ilhamku" brings back loads of sweet memories.
I love cinnamon rolls and a cup of English Breakfast tea/ coffee and I think its only right to have it in a garden setting
I love the idea of getting a tattoo and having my ear pierced
I have always wanted to have my own rock band and love to hit the drums and play the guitar ( For that sole reason only , I like Shruti Hassan)
I think it is a little challenging to be a women, you have gotta keep yourself extremely polished (you know facial, threading, shaving, waxing, manicure, pedicure and whatever else that you people are doing that I am not aware of)
Oh the last time and was also the first time I had a facial done( think it was 6 years ago), the facial lady had this machine that was meant to produce steam to cleanse the pores of the face or something like that, I am not entirely sure what is the function of it, that machine thing started sprinkling hot water out ( not a joke!) and I thought it was perfectly normal and was part of the facial process, the whole time thinking women must be crazy to go through such a torture, and little did I know the machine was actually faulty. ( I never went back to her after that)
You can hardly find me sitting with a group of friends gossiping about the other girls, just not interested ( But now I have no choice but to listen cause gossiping seem to be the very essence of being in a group) ---> It's like the Gossip Girl crap thingy!
I may not be an epitome of a perfect woman but yet there are certain things that define me:
I love to bake. I believe when it comes from the heart, it adds its own sweetness to the cake n cookies.
Like many other girls , I have my own fantasies of having my knight in shinning armor rescuing his damsel in distress and sweeping me off my feet and a happy married life.
Though I scold, but I love kids!
I love endlessly and a day dreamer.
I love any pretty shoes and dresses, just that it does not necessarily have to be branded.
I go all out to keep you happy if I care.
I love the rain and looking at the stars or simply the sky.
I cry buckets and buckets when I watch a movie that touches me emotionally.
I also cry when I read a story book ( esp. the one's by Nicholas Sparks, Cecelia Ahern)
I love songs with a perfect lyric like "If You Are Not The One" by Daniel Bedingfield
I love guys who have got a good sense of humor and can keep me engaged in a conversation without me getting bored.
I cant stand girls who go after rich guys( just for the money concept really does not make sense)
I love Nelson Ricardo Alamo Flores,Gerard Buttler, James Marsden, Hugh Dancy, the "Rock", and Drew Barrymore.
I have tons more to go but before I stop just one more important thing I love my family! As crazy as they are, I am always grateful and blessed to be part of the madness.

Excuse Me Sir, Can I have Some Salt For My Coffee?

2010-08-14T12:37:00.004+08:00

Attention all coffee addicts! Have you ran out of sugar for your coffee, no problem-o just add some salt to it, and you should be fine.Okay, on a second thought, you probably should not, after all you are not Wu Cheng-hsueh. Yup, Mr.Wu is the owner of the 85C Bakery Cafe in Taiwan. And also happens to be the founder of the sea-salt coffee. (No kidding) Though it may sound strange, but this coffee is actually a hit since its introduction into the market last December. For someone who loves trying something new, I wouldn't mind trying this one out.Plus it scored "hero" on the zero-o-meter(that's the zero2hero TV show for those wondering what am I blabbering about). So the next time you happen to be in Taiwan , give it a shot!

P/S= Now, that's a good news for all diabetics but not so for all hypertensives.

? Football+Model

2010-08-11T12:22:00.004+08:00

Okay so here's the question...

"Why does most of the football players have a lingerie model as their girlfriend?" I am puzzled. Either the man is obsessed with lingerie or the ladies with the balls, I mean football...=P.So, honey, the next time you are thinking of being a model , congrats you might just end up with a football player for a husband ( * certainly not in our country, though*) . Anyway, I am having a wonderful day. It's a holiday! Yippie... On another note, I enjoy the morning sun , the green trees, inspirational quotes and a cup of coffee (Coffee smells like a wonderful day!=)
Good day all!

Experience, My Teacher

2010-08-05T17:39:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, was one of the "pages" in my book of life. You know how some of us used to have cat fights with our peers when we were teens (luckily we are not blessed with claws otherwise I cant imagine what would have happened), over tiny stuffs, well surprisingly I accidentally got myself into one (Notice I used the word accident, cause I loathe getting involved with immature creatures). Anyway the point is, after much analyzing, I have come to know how much I have learned with just one incident. I learned to stand up for what is right, surprisingly I also learned that people have predicted me so well that so much so when I stood up for myself, they felt I should not be like that( what logic is that?). I have learned not to discuss in anger, instead more calmly with a soft tone, believe it or not, it was like a magic, it worked wonders. And I also learned it is okay to put ourselves down and make the other person feel better if it is going to be beneficial to us( hey, people did not simply say fake it to make it).Plus, I have learned the other person's character very well. Lastly, I never make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect-Edward Gibbon (Very well said, how true) Till yesterday, I asked why it happened to me, but today I am grateful it was me, otherwise I would have never learned. Many more pages to go...

~Life is like an empty book whereby the pages are filled up as the days go, only a few chapters in this book is worth looking back at , the rest is merely an experience to make us strong and mature~Rubashini Nair

A Story Not Told

2010-07-19T12:54:00.004+08:00

Holla! Its been long since I blogged, thanx to my elective postings, instead of being an awesome holiday, I spent it with patients, and since now I have got 5 days of break before I got back to campus , so I thought I better see what's happening in this side of the world. Anyway, what I want to talk about today, is really something that should bring awareness, an introduction to another world that not many know.

KL as many know is a big big city bustling with traffic, loads of people with the latest trend, gigantic malls to chill out, on a whole appears as a civilized place.Everything peaceful, another icon of transformation, as a result of development. Naturally, we expect the neighbouring area to be equally developed, human wise also, at least that's what I thought. But, what I discovered many days ago, was rather a new and thought changing experience. The National Leprosy Center back in Sungai Buloh was the home for hundred over patients over the last 50 years.Yes, 5o and probably more. Patients living in the same bed for years. Their bed is their home. These are humans that are living in a different world, with no contact with the outside world. Here, there are patients that have been left since the age of nine and never went back home. Each had a different story to tell. Some still having the mentality of a nine year old despite being 45. Transformation has taken place but not for these people. For them, the corridor is the north-south highway, the newly mowed lawn is another state, the freshly grown flowers are paintings on the wall and they have a cat for a companion. This is their life. A story not told.

I left that place tear eyed and swear I would never step a foot again in there. I am not being selfish, but there is a part of me that feels there is no way any human should live like that. I am not prepared emotionally and mentally to go back again.

If you are complaining about incompleteness, than take a look at them. You will learn to appreciate everything. If you are complaining about not having a mirror, they don't have a presentable face (effect of erosion). If you are complaining about not having the best sunglasses, they don't have eyes to see. If you think you are bad at drawing, they don't have fingers. If dancing is a difficult task for you, they would at least wished to have the other half of the leg to move around! If you think the entire world is so unfair to you, than I have no words, you definitely haven't seen them yet...

I know I said I won't go back, I have been there, I have seen it,it will take time...But, they won't mind having a human for a companion once in a while for a change...So give it a thought.
Good day all!

Her Name Is Bella

2010-05-14T23:46:00.005+08:00

She had an awfully cropped hair with matted patches of hair at some part of the skull. It has been weeks since a drop of water ever came in touch with the hair of hers. The sunburned color and stinking sweat odor of the hair did not do justice to her coppery skin and the beautiful amethyst colored almond eyes of hers. The tears at the edge of the eye was slowly washing away and bringing with it the black eye liner along its course. She let it drop.Her tears.She was too weak to wipe it away. The freckles over her chest were defined by the V-shaped plunging neckline of her dress.It added to her natural beauty. The gentle swells of her breasts were obvious.The dress, a black satin Prada dress hung on her on either side of her shoulder by a thin strap. It is studded with diamonds around her small waist. It went well with the ankle high boots minus the fish net stockings."You are lucky", she remembered one of her friends saying. The dress, was given to her by one of her "clients". Clients, she thought to herself and just smiled and shrugged her shoulders. But, the tears still flowed. Two months ago, she remembered dad calling her "Princess". Now,here she is. In this dark lane, where besides rat and cockroaches, humans, roam around. Humans who are drugged, highly intoxicated, whose bodies have been the item of trade in need of money. So was hers. Just two months ago, she made the decision to leave home with Nick. Yes, Nick, her boyfriend. The man who promised her life in a fantasy land, the man who won her heart with versus of love, the man who asked her hand in marriage.She was darn sure he was her true soul mate. She left despite all the warnings from dad. And he left her too. Yes, the same Nick who promised her sweet nothings left her in this hell, he sold her off. The sweet love making in the trust of her man's words was meaningless and it hurt her to the core. She regretted. She hated this life. Her mistakes had ruined her. She took the last drop of that liquor. She had fought and begged one of the man to sell her those "stuff". She can't live without it. It was her only means of finding peace. She held the syringe and gently pushed the needle into her skin. As "it" mixed with her blood, she had flashes of her happy life with her father and siblings. Choking back her tears ,she said softly,"Forgive Bella,dad". And, her eyes never opened again...

A Note

2010-05-14T23:30:00.002+08:00

I wrote a note
"Fetch the kids",
I wrote a note
"Food in the fridge",
I wrote a note
"Will be late",
I wrote a note
"Don't wait up",
I wrote a note
"Soccer on Sunday",
You left a note
"I am leaving...for good",
I held the palm sized paper
Closed to my chest,
Tears welled up in my eye,
I fell to the floor,
Staring at the marble kitchen tiles,
That we hand-picked,
When we build this home,
Now, it is a house
With memories
If only I wrote just one note
"I love you"
It could have made a difference....

My Independence & A Big Thank You

2010-05-12T07:34:00.005+08:00

Morning. I have finally finished my professional exams and I am a full fledged final year student. Yeah! Honestly,yesterday was my New Year. Now, I am on par with the rest. And,I can finally pay attention to one thing till my next exam. This is the day I was waiting for since I made the decision to defer my studies in 2008. And finally it is here. Trust me folks, any trials in this journey is always a temporary thing and it will pass by fast, whatever it is. It is just one of God's way of making us strong. Studies was never the only issue for me , since acha left , there was so many emotional downfalls in life. So many people to cater for especially family. No, I am not complaining--- the start of anything in life is never an easy one but as it goes things will eventually fall in place. Time probably heals the pain- not completely perhaps a little. 2 years was definitely an eye opener-meeting people, understanding them, standing up for yourself, appreciating the small things that makes a great difference, maturing and the feel of wanting to do everything right now, this very moment, to spent when I want to, to go on a vacation or a trip or anything without giving much of a thought, to dance till I am exhausted, to see more people, and a lot more to name. So, I was thinking, I am going to take some time to thank some people who had been there, and made a difference in the last 2 years directly or indirectly. I have never particularly mentioned any one's name before so if I did today I am being truly sincere and wishing you people a big thank you from the bottom of my heart.

1) Sham chechi

Where do I start when it comes to you, basically everything was possible due to
your effort. The amount of patience, love and understanding and support that
you gave all throughout-from the time I deffered my studies, all the train journeys to keep me company and all the encouragement.Oh yes, and the driving will never be possible if it was not for your support. And I needed you the most to keep me sane.To listen to me pour my heart out!Thank you for being rational.

2) Ma-me mummy

Despite all the irrationalities and emotional downfall, as a mother, you are still the best. You had a dual role since 2008-both as a dad & a mum. And you did both very well. You have always worried about not being able to do it right and not as perfectly as acha- but honestly no one could have done it better than you! Chumi's wedding would not have been possible without you! And I would not have made it this far as well. I admire you patience & always wished I had half of it.So, thank you and love you.

3) Priscillia

You are part of the family now. Thank you for all the help. And especially for all the driving around to distribute the cards and to settle everything else-from the slide making, to the late nights chats and to be very patient with the DJ=) So many things would not have been possible without you. So thank you!

4) Kishore

Thank you for all the wonderful lunch and dinner and hours and hours of time spent talking. Really kept my mind off things. Thank you for making me feel welcomed and not so awkward when I was back for my studies. And also for sending me home that Christmas morning. Truly a friend I can count on.So, a big thank you and do let me no if I am of any help.

5) Sarita

A big thank you and a hug for listening to me pour my heart out at the time I needed most. And also, for allowing me to stay over! I really appreciate it. Hope to return your favour one day. And as promised, will get you your Tatiana=) & it was nice having you around back home and to be able to explore my primary school, thanx to you.

6) Rathi

Thank you for filling me up with all the stories=) and keeping me happy. I sort of felt like I was back in the class and did not miss anything, thanx to you.

P/S= Off to gym now. Have a blessed day!

On Another Note...

2010-05-08T19:36:00.004+08:00

Mum & I had this conversation today...

Thejas, my 8 year old nephew, wanted to know the amount of ribs we have, claiming that the last time he had a chest X-ray taken , he had forgotten to count the amount of ribs on the film.So, yeah I told him. Anyway, later on I was talking to mum.

I : Ma, he is so inquisitive. Probably he should become a doctor. Do you think he might want to swap places with me.

Mum: I don't know. Why don't you ask him?

I: Thejas mon, you want to become a doctor uh when you grow up?

Thejas : But, I don't know anything about cells. ( in his adorable baby voice)

I: Never mind, they will teach you.

Thejas: Duwan.... I want to become a businessman ( I know where he got this idea from=)

Mum: *mum laughing*

I : Ma , I think I used to be as inquisitive as him when I was small, asking you a lot of questions,but you la, did not give me an answer for any of them, now am feeling stupid.

Mum: (LAUGHING LOUD) The only questions you ever asked me was where all the food was kept my dear.

I: (hahahaha) I know.Sounds like me alright.That's why I am telling you my interest have always been food , I should have taken up baking or cooking instead of med.

And, that was a piece of the conversation that made my day! Great Day! Today is a beautiful day! Stop for a little while to feel the breeze on your face and smell those flowers. Love you!

I Had Them Taken

2010-05-08T18:52:00.012+08:00

Holla.So, here's the thing. I am having my finals this Monday. Back to studies. Not stressed=) Anyway, during the short breaks that I take from studies, I manage to capture some photos. Here are some of them.Oh yeah, I am aware the quality really sucks, but would you just pretend for me that those were the best shots you have ever seen=)) Thanx, love ya!

From the playground near my house.I love this tree, not sure what is it called though. But when the flowers bloom,it is definitely a sight not to be missed!

This is the giraffe in my room.Haven't named him yet. I love his stupid look.Makes my day!Oh it has a button at the bottom, when it is pressed, the whole giraffe will collapse, no kidding!

A closer look (blurred eh?).Did I mention he looks a little silly?

A friend gave me this last week.I love babies.Love to see them cry=) So adorable!
( I no sounds really mean right?)

Now, it is hung on my wall.Makes my day each time I take a look at it.

P/S- I love Aaj Kal Zindagi,Life Is Crazy & Iktara from Wake Up Sid. Nice songs.I am planning on starting another blog sometime next month (hopefully).Wanted to share some photos of all the wonderful moments in my life that have been captured with just one click away.

Interest

2010-05-05T20:28:00.003+08:00

How do you define interest? I had a conversation with mum today regarding it. She strongly tells me that interest is something that I create. "Ruby ma, when you don't like something, you have to learn how to like it, you have to create an interest for it". For me, it is something that is inborn. Like how you fall in love when you meet that certain someone, when you have tears of joy for your friend's happiness...it is a feeling that comes without saying, without you knowing, without being force. It is certainly not the effort. It is something so natural, like a bond of love...

Break Free

2010-05-03T22:40:00.002+08:00

Have you taken any risks in life or had this feeling " I am tired of all this stuff" and you decide to stop right there and go on your own way.It will be cool if life was as such. You get to decide at this very moment what you want from it. If not for all the rules and regulations and all the norm, and a family, I would have done it. Feel like hopping on to a train and to go somewhere, anywhere, as long as it takes me to a place where there is abundance of joy ,love,happiness, and kids. Have you sat in a train station and sometimes wish to go to the counter and get a ticket to anywhere but not where you have planned, just for the fun of it, to try it, to see where this journey takes you. I have always wanted to, but never tried. Perhaps at the time the thought comes to my mind , the next thing that I always hear at the back of my head is " this is ridiculous Ruby, absolutely ridiculous, you just don't go anywhere, where were you planning to go anyway?" Than, the next thing I know, is myself sitting on the thin mattress on the lower berth going back to where I have intended to go when I purchased my ticket while looking at all the commotion that takes place at each station while everyone is trying to settle down. But deep down, I really wish just one day I can break free and do it.To take the chance to see where this journey called life leads me....

p/s=It is always nice to have a partner in crime=)

I Am Not

2010-05-03T22:32:00.004+08:00

I am not what you think I am
I am not fake
I am real
But I am not what you think I am
You think you know me
But really, you don't
Because I am not what you think I am
I am a treasure
You will need time to know the real me
To read my soul
But for now
I am not what you think I am...

This Second

2010-05-03T21:55:00.004+08:00

This moment what I really need is
- a hug
- mum by my side
- some comfort food(preferably mum's cooking)
- air conditioner (the weather is extremely hot)
- a holiday
- my room back in Pahang ( where peace is certain)
- movies-kabhi kushi kabhi kham/kuch2 hota hai/shrek
- the kids
- a bed ( have been sleeping on a mattress without a bed frame for a long time)
- playing on a swing
- sitting and enjoying the stars
- some soothing music (good for the soul)
- My Dad!

Caught In Between Air And Water

2010-05-02T00:13:00.003+08:00

Certain decisions are not easy to make in life, but they are a must. People often say,"it's your life", you decide. But how often do we make our own decisions? Create our own path.Learning from our own mistakes. Experiencing life and enjoying every moment of it as we take one step each time. We are granted with all the freedom, and a lot of motivators around us telling us how we should build the life we want, and yet why is it so difficult for us to stop and turn back and take a different path.What is it that is tying us down? Have you been in a situation where you had no plans in your mind and than you take up whatever someone else suggests and than half way through it you realize that this is not me, not what I wanted, not the life I choose. Have you? But the only problem is you are confused, cause you are dead sure this is not what you want but what is it exactly that you want to achieve, still remains a mystery. Sometimes we just wait ,hoping that opportunity will knock at our door. Part of us feel guilty- as if we are betraying those who love and trust us, and who has given us a better life, than there is the issue of time-time spent all this years doing something and going through it and than we decide to back out, next comes the money put in all these years and lastly the perception of people- our friends, uncles and aunties and all the others who are "so-called" concerned people. But my question is, why look at the few years that has passed, why not see what is going to happen in the remaining few years to come that is going to be the future, why concern about what others think when only some people were involved in the decision making from the very first day, honestly does it even matter, I mean people have their own problems and they are only good at talking where they are not needed, and what about "my"-your own happiness? Does it not matter anymore or are we just going to go through the coming days dreading our mornings knowing that we are going to work or do something that we are not really enthusiastic about and telling ourselves again and again,that when I have kids I make sure they do what they want. What about now, this very moment, don't we deserve the happiness, the joy to move on and do what we like.To create my own destiny. Why is it when we are trying to break the norm to live our life, it always causes apprehension? Aren't we suppose to take risks? There will always be fear when risks are taken. What if we are making a bad mistake? What if it all goes wrong? What if I don't succeed? So what, is it really the end of the world? Do you just pause there and regret for the decisions you took at that point of time or do you just move on and find ways to achieve in life?

p/s= Based on recent conversations and decision making and all the people that I have met , it prompted me to write this down.This is merely questions to make you think.So take a second and think about it. I have thought about it so many times in these last few years and yet never really found an answer.

A very very practical movie. But, I did not like the ending.They should have been together. That apart, credit goes for everything else that made up this movie- the script ( so natural,did not feel like a planned script at all) , the problems faced , the emotions and of course the songs.Nice!

Sid, Jagna...

Wake up Sid! Wonderful movie. Ranbir was awesome. Never knew I might actually like him but I fell for him in this movie. It was practical and a simple story- rich spoiled boy meets girl and he gets his wake up call, hence the tittle *wink*. He has a boyish look.So, that in a way did not immediately portray his seriousness of behaving like a mature man when he started changing over a new leaf for Konkona. But, it did work when he shouted at her. Love...funny isn't it? How all it makes you want to be a better person. I enjoyed the moments they sat on the roof top having a cup of chai and enjoying the night. I loved it when he made her a birthday cake in less than 2 minutes and kept her company. Everything they shared in the flat they lived in was wonderful moments that was to be cherished. I teared when he had to leave. Imagine waking up the next day to an empty space- with him not around to prepare the food & to keep her company. Really heart breaking! Glad it took a magazine to actually help them both to express their love.

p/s= my favourite line ; Kyu, yeh bhi party hai,tum,meh aur dho cup chai ( Why, this is also a party, u, me and 2 cups of tea)

Just One Of Those Days

2010-04-18T19:01:00.003+08:00

It has been long since I posted something here but I did drop by in this page so many times and each time I did, and clicked "new post" , than I stare at an empty screen, just lost in thoughts, so many issues and stories I want to write here, but its all messed up in my head that it seems so difficult to organize all of it, & than I eventually log out. Today, I thought to myself I shall write down anything that comes to mind. I have been extremely busy in the last two weeks with studies. That apart, I have learned so much about my friends, new things about some of them. As the days go, I am becoming a little timid, funny, I used to be brave last time, never gave a shit about anything, but medicine is really one field that just at times makes you want to run away from everything, despite that I have told myself it is a challenge I have to face. And I think this year is going to fly really fast.So many competitive people around.It is about keeping yourself at the top, you know that constant pressure to be good. In the last two weeks, there was one day I came home crying for some reason that may sound stupid to many yet hurting to some. I fell into the hurting category of course. Thank god, I had someone to hear me cry and that was mum of course.Next comes the family. I think despite all our busy schedule, someone has to take the responsibility to have a gathering and to bring all of us together, otherwise there will always be a distance when we are adults. But, I guess I am lucky in that sense=) We should always care for one another, it does not mean if we are blessed with our own lives the rest is forgotten ( yup, at times you have to poke your nose to keep the rest in a better position). Oh yes, I have a new mission this year, but that I am afraid I can't reveal, but anyways wish me luck=) And, as a child I used to be a movie freak, like a really bad one, at least for Hindi movies. Dad used to get so angry during my secondary school days when he catches me watching movie at 3 in the morning. When I am back for holidays, I could go on watching till 5-6 in the morning, that is how crazy I am. Nowadays, it is the opposite. I hardly even know what are the latest movies playing in the cinema and I feel awkwardly awkward having to go through a 5 minute conversation with my buddies on movies, I would be so glad if I can even survive the first 3 minutes of the talk. To add on to it, I have friends who are taking advantage of my character, it is pretty annoying ( well, it happened today, so I just feel like screaming). I mean it wouldn't take me seconds to tell them off, but yet I don't see the necessity of being nasty, so I just shut up. Just because I never say "no" to most of the things and have been using the word "chill" zillion times , so yeah they eventually think they get to decide what I should be doing. And I think it is really immature that people think like that, you are supposed to be grown-ups, at least act professional! So yeah, that is pretty much most of the things that took place, but not all. The remainder is just meant for me...

That Is What I Call Love

2010-04-04T01:03:00.003+08:00

I go weak at my knees, my heart racing,pounding in my chest and feel the change in temperature in my body as I slip unknowingly into my imaginary world. A world full of beautiful things, full of colour, brightness, sunshine and most importantly a world with endless love.

That is exactly how I am when I am into one of those love story books. Did I mention that my favourite pass time is to fantasize? Yup, I think it is the girl in me who goes all weak as I read through the wonderful verses of love. I fall in love along with the characters. Imagining how I would like to end up just like that.How I would want to be swept off my feet just like her? I am a dreamer. Really I am. I have always wondered how it felt to have those strong arms wrapping around me, feeling loved and safe. How it feels to be kissed under the moonlight? Dancing along with him with all the eyes on us. A sort of like a princess but actually a very simple girl with the blessings to be in love.

So yeah, this is just part of the raw soul of mine that I bared here. I am so into the loving mood after reading Judith McNaught's Untill You that it hit me once again how glorious it is to be in love.Don't you agree?

Walking In The Rain

2010-04-04T00:28:00.003+08:00

The puddle of water
We both stepped our foot on
Together
Shattered to pieces

The rain drops
Lost its grip
And fell to the muddy ground
As if it was clinging for life
At the tip of the umbrella

The sunset
Colored my surroundings
With orange and a tinge of pink
Felt so joyous
Like I was standing at heaven's door

With the pin drop silence
Only two things was loud to me
One the rain
The other your breath sound
Beautiful
Truly splendid
How the rain brought us together
Sharing an umbrella
Feeling the warmth of your skin
When it rubs against mine
As we try to avoid the puddle of water
Lost our balance
And held on close to each other

We did not say a word
And yet it felt just right
Like this moment was meant for us
A script that was written for us
I just had one wish
That this path would be long enough
For me to enjoy each passing second
And lock them away in my memory

Kissing

2010-03-29T19:35:00.008+08:00

Ten Interesting and Amusing Facts About Kissing

1.The scientific name for kissing, snogging, osculating and bussing is philematology.

2.Just kissing can burn off 26 calories in one minute. ( Interesting!)

3.The average person spends two weeks of their life kissing. (Really?)

4.Eskimos, Polynesians and Malaysians and indeed, Ancient Egyptians, rub noses instead of kissing. ( Malaysians don't kiss? I strongly disagree!)

5.Ancient Romans kissed each other on the eyes or the mouth as a greeting.

6.Victorian etiquette, in the UK, required a man to kiss the back of a ladies hand.

7.A standard greeting in Europe is a kiss on both cheeks or it could be two. . .or
three or maybe four. =)

walked.

9.In Ireland, you will have good luck if you kiss the Blarney Stone.

10.Allegedly the Chinese didn't kiss until the practice was introduced by Westerners, and they're still not very keen on it. ( Still not keen? Don't think so...)

1.Snogging helps reduce tooth decay because the extra saliva it creates helps clean out your mouth ( See, finally, that's why we like kissing=)

Yesterday,I...

2010-03-20T08:45:00.005+08:00

What a blissful morning! After 12 hours of sleep ( I know, I am a natural sleeper , is there such a thing? hehe), I feel so good, bursting with energy. It is almost a month since I shifted, and I am getting use to this place. I discovered a jogging park last week and thought I shall go explore the area. And, I did yesterday morning. It feels soooo good. I love this jogging park-it is filled with people and sort of gives me the feeling like I am in touch with nature with all the jungle like trees and with sounds of the insects and birds. In one corner, there was the aerobics group and the other end the tai-chi group. A real stress free place. After the jog, it was visiting a friend time & than early lunch, and reading the papers while watching High School Musical 2 & Oprah.Because I liked it a lot, I went for jogging again in the evening=) Than I discovered more things. There was a man in the corner who sells hot dog & drinks, there was also couples dating, & a playground “infested” with kids & a photo shot. Yup, a photo shot by a Chinese couple that will be tying the knots soon. She wore the prettiest white wedding gown. All eyes were on her. That’s because we are all in clothes soaked in sweat- a- T shirt & track suit while she on the other hand looked like she got lost among the joggers, thus all the attention. I had a beautiful day. How was yours?

S-U-S-H-I

2010-03-06T11:55:00.009+08:00

Now, this is one of my must eat dish each time I am back home-sushi! I know tons of u guys love it. Is it tasty? Well, I wouldn't really classify it as such.So, why do I like it? It is fun to eat! Really it is. Try it if you haven't. The idea of putting the tiny tiny pieces into your mouth along with the wasabi- not only it is fun, plus the wasabi brings out funny and different expressions in all of us.The sauce ( referring to the wasabi, not sure though if that's what its called) gives you the "shooting" sensation. I don't think there are words to describe the feeling unless you give it a try! So do try and let me know how it is.

Caution= For the first timers, please consume a very tiny amount of wasabi! You will see why Chilling out with mum in Sushi King. Chechi joined us after work. I love this place. Besides the dish, the ambiance is definitely the other aspect. Oh and the
moving sushi plates on the table top too!

My spectators.While I eat they watch=) Mum especially, it is so hard to get her to try anything outside-miss fussy pot! I even tried the emotional blackmailing thingy to try getting her to eat like how she use to do to me when I was a kid " Ruby ma, if you love me, you have to eat the vege" Sounds familiar?=) Anyway she tried a pinch of the wasabi and held on to the table,hehe.

The Good Thing About Exams

2010-03-03T16:47:00.004+08:00

How was your day? Hope all is well. Yes, you, I am asking you=) So, today I came back 2 hours before the actual time from the hospital.My legs are aching due to the on call yesterday and my eyes is constantly falling "asleep", it is as if they are living in their own world. Both the upper and lower lids just never asks me before meeting up with each other. To add on to that, the sun outside is practically piercing through my skin. Can someone please patch up the ozone layers? And I woke up late today morning + Aunty "flow" came visiting yesterday. So, I was totally exhausted!Now, instead of sleeping, I was reading the papers( felt like I have not read them in ages).Thought of browsing the net before starting my studies. And, with that said, this is where I ended up. Anyway, while studying for my professional exams last year, I sort of got in touch with the artistic person in me. And this is what I created during my holidays, thanx to my exam induced ideas.

( Yes , it is the elephant god- I totally love Him! So how, is this nice?)

I am planning to create more "stuffs" in the future and I am finding the time to start painting once again.Hopefully that happens soon. With that, adiyos! May God fill your life with happiness.

Fire-y Morning

2010-02-28T11:19:00.005+08:00

Good morning.I woke up today morning with the dream of fire. Twice the fire broke out in my neighbour's house at different corners of the house but we manage to put it out.I felt a little uneasy with the dream, so I thought I will just check it up anyway. So here goes...( from Dream Moods: Your Dream Symbol Interpretation)

Fire
Depending on the context of your dream, to see fire in your dream can symbolize destruction, passion, desire, illumination, transformation, enlightenment, or anger. It may suggest that something old is passing and something new is entering into your life. Your thoughts and views are changing. In particular, if the fire is under control or contained in one area, then it is a metaphor of your own internal fire and inner transformation. It also represents your drive, motivation, and creative energy. Alternatively, the dream may be warning you of your dangerous or risky activities. You are literally "playing with fire".

To dream that you are being burned by fire, indicates that your temper is getting out of control. Some issue or situation is burning you up inside.

To dream that a house is on fire, indicates that you need to undergo some transformation. If you have recurring dreams of your family house on fire, then it suggests that you are still not ready for the change or that you are fighting against the change. Alternatively, it highlights passion and the love of those around you.

To dream that you put out a fire, signifies that you will overcome your obstacles in your life through much work and effort. If you are setting a fire to something or even to yourself, then it indicates that you are undergoing some great distress. You are at the brink of desperation and want to destroy something or some aspect of yourself.

Just To Lighten Your Day

2010-02-27T19:33:00.004+08:00

So, this is what happened. My big sis was ironing, mum and myself just chilling on the bed when Thejas walked in. Thejas is my sis's kid by the way. He was complaining that he did not like the toasted bread that my sister packed for him to school that day. So, he decided to instead " teach" her how to do it. .....He came back after 5 minutes with this piece of paper. Oh Boy, we sure had a nice time laughing! Love the kids!

What he really meant was to "put the jam and peanut butter on to the bread." Haha.I am not exactly sure how well the "jam with the beard" taste. though.Anyone want to try? Where do I buy the beard from anyways?=)

That's Him & Me.

Only 2 Minutes- To Fall In & Out Of Love

2010-02-27T19:06:00.004+08:00

This is still about the wedding- not entirely=) Well , I thought of just posting it separately anyway. Just so that you know, that, that night at the dinner, standing at the gazebo, looking at everyone coming forward to congratulate her...suddenly my eyes just stopped wondering. I caught the sight of the most beautiful, gorgeous, to-die for pair of eyes shining under the light.It had a very magical colour and was crystal clear. Something about it was so different. Mysterious. The feeling of "warm butter sliding down the hot toast" was surreal that moment! After he left, I walked to my sister, and...

Me:"Chum, I saw this friend of yours with such gorgeous eyes shaking hands with you. Who is he?"

Sis: Huh, G..... la. That's his girlfriend by the way.

Me: Omg, he is the one. How come I have never seen him all this while. No NOOOO, he did come to my house quite often but where the hell was I? Why only now I realized his presence ( Where is the wall----need to bang my head......)

Sis: He is getting married in June.

.....And, there goes the warm butter, sliding all the way to the table top...*sigh*

The Wedding Events

2010-02-27T18:14:00.004+08:00

Holla! I survived this week. Plus, it is a beautiful beautiful weekend with an extra day off.Yeah=) How fast time flies..Creepy. Anyway, finally my sister got married. Hoping to post some pictures once I get them. The days prior to the big day is the most memorable one. Shopping, shopping and shopping + eating and eating. The kitchen was filled with sweets. People everywhere.Waking up to the sound of laughter was the nicest moments. Self beauty was also the top priority. Pedicures, black facial, and oh yes hair styling one after another was the greatest=) So I decided to go all 70's for the wedding with the hair back combed. Pretty cool & I loved it. You guys should consider trying it. And it goes well with the puffed up Saree sleeves. Sort of compliments one another. Well for the dinner, it was the curls that I choose. But the feeling of pampering yourself, and buying accessories to match the Saree was the most treasured feeling. Meeting friends that I have not met in ages was great as well.Finally, the time came when I had to go up the stage to give the special toast. I had butterflies in my tummy right before going up the stage but once I was there it just flew away. Follow a simple rule when giving heart touching speeches in a wedding dinner---speak from your heart. I know I did when I left a few of them teary eyed. Oh, I forget to mention about contact lens shopping=) Mine was brown, the other two of my sisters had honey coloured and grey coloured eye. I just love the idea of having different coloured eye for any functions.It has the energy boosting factor to it=) I end my day with dancing- so nice! Wish I can do that again! I was so busy that I forget to have my dinner *sigh* Taking photo shots did not come in easy. My "smiling muscles" were aching so much that I did not have a natural touch to the smile=( All in all it was the best times in my life.

The only upsetting thing about the whole event was the - cocky DJ! I have no idea which world he came from, but his attitude sure does not fit his carrier. Otherwise, it was a perfect day.

A Letter To My Dad

2010-02-16T15:12:00.003+08:00

Dear Acha,

Happy Birthday! We went through the day like normal, but there was heaviness in everyone's heart. Everyone tried to avoid thinking of the date. No one actually sat in a group and dared talked about it. Ama told me its your birthday a day before. Sham, on the other hand,had the reminder set just like the previous years.She told us how old are you. I, well,.. I wished you the day before. We had cake. Busy , busy... the whole day. We went for food testing for the wedding. Quality time spent together. Somewhere deep down, all of us was missing your presence. I couldn't help thinking what would you have said if you were here. Anyway, 3 days from now Chumi will be starting a new chapter in her life. Pretty occupied with the wedding prep. Guess what I am trying to say is that, despite all this busy schedule, you are always remembered. Just that now no one wants to speak about it, afraid of having mom's heart broken. Oh, ama is freaking out as we are nearing the wedding. I have to constantly remind her the dates. However, she is doing a wonderful job.Hats off to her. And, yes, I as usual get very excited shopping. If you were physically present I would have worn it and have you tell me how I look in it-just like old times. I am going all orange this time=). Oh, and you won't belief how much of weight Chumi has lost. What all a marriage can do to a person=). Anyway, I know your blessings are always there with us.

Love,
Your Simandhi Putri

~Life is like a garden in which we plant our flowers:the roses of affection that bloom in summer hours.The seeds of sweet remembrance, of hope, joy and love~

Randomness

2010-02-11T16:28:00.008+08:00

3 Idiots

The best movie ever! It was the only movie so far that I have seen which had too many things a person can learn from. Amir Khan looked so young and cute. I loved Madhavan's character a lot. He spoke things that are supposed to be my words-about job, life and to listening to your heart and following your passion in life.I think it is a must watch for typical Indian parents with the attitude and always worried "of what others will think..." You learn a lot from this movie.

It's Complicated

Just as complicated as the title sounds. This movie keeps you thinking- you will know how we girls and guys usually think & act, but totally loved the ending. So, what better way to understand what I am saying than to watch it yourself. ( No, my intentions are not to put up on movie reviews, but it just happen that I watched movies that kept me in the thinking mode=)

Now, back to me. I totally love Valentine's Day for one reason- the radio stations play love songs all day long-it feels soo good. One station in particular is Red.fm. Awesome station!My favourite.

I like when the sun shines on my face in the morning.It always feels like its a good day.

I think my mum is freaking out as the wedding is getting near- I have to constantly remind her the dates for this month and she has just one statement all the time- So fast uh, I haven't done so many things...

I am really hoping to get some pretty accessories for my saree- it has a rather unusual colour

I am excited and also having butterflies in my tummy thinking about the special toast!

I am currently in love with Michael Buble's song.

I keep hearing of Frank Sinatra this past few months.

Today I am being totally random- anything that comes to my mind,you get to read.

I love Honda CR-V.

I think I need a change in job-something laid back may be.

I am so happy for one thing this week- I am in the process of becoming a MoJo- mobile journalist with the local paper. ( Remember, I said I was thinking of a change in carrier=)

I have no idea why am I so scared of the future- by saying future I mean it starts with 5th year.

I feel like eating the dark chocolate Ferrero Rocher.

I like this 'down,down song'- Baby are you down down down down down....- now you know the song=)

I honestly had no idea what on earth all this buzz about Super Bowl was till I read it yesterday=)

I am stopping now.Love you all.

My Valentine's Day Story

2010-02-06T21:26:00.019+08:00

Day One:A friend told me you are out there somewhere.

You will come & I just have to wait
Wait is exactly what I did....

The day has finally come-
February 14
I wondered how is this day going to be
The girl in me is so excited

Will it be a heart shaped cake?

Or, will you spoil me with chocolates?

Probably just a simple card with a message from the heart
Wait a sec- 15 pounds??? I am resisting the urge to kick your ass... Never mind, you are forgiven this time.

Oh, is that a diamond ring I see?

Propose? Perhaps...

Or simply pampering me with flowers.Hmm, they smell wonderful

Even if that is not possible, never mind,just a simple 3 words- I LOVE YOU- scribbled on the walls of my house.Hey, I am pretty blind, I need it to be written in big words plus I have neighbours=)

In fact I got my lips all decorated,ooopps, what I mean is, I applied a "small amount" of lip stick on=)

Just may be, if we decide to steal a kiss from one another under the beautiful stars...

Rinnngggg! Oh my phone, is it one of your love messages?I wondered... Huh,no it is not! What, I don't belief this ..Someone shot my cupid..It broke its wings.Great, no messages of love & presents this year.

Riiiinnnggg! Again my phone?This time it felt real. Oh,I was dreaming. It is Valentine's Day.Guess, I have to wait for my cupid to recover,and that would be next year...
*The story continues when my cupid is fully recovered*

February- It Is Here Again

2010-02-06T20:00:00.004+08:00

It is the month of love again. Now, if you have noticed I have changed the layout for my blog so that it goes hand in hand with the theme of this month-love.The papers are filled with promotion for Valentine's day. Every dish comes in heart shape. The bracelets and pendants are made pretty with diamond studded stones.Pink is also the colour of the month.Thank God the roses are still in its original shape, but the prices are tremendously high. It is the month when some of us are madly, deeply in love. And, of course it can also be the month when some of us are left heart-broken. Sad. I had a friend whose boyfriend broke up with her on Valentine's Day.That really sucks! But hey, this is life, no one says its going to be perfect.That apart, but this month of February is filled with events.

Feb 8 - I am starting my fifth year ( My tummy is filled with butterflies)
Feb 14- Valentine's Day & Chinese New Year
Feb 15- My Dad's birthday ( I am going to celebrate)
Feb 19- My lovely sister's wedding
Feb 20-Wedding dinner
Feb 22-Her birthday
Feb 24- I am shifting to a new place.

See, how exciting it is. But the most important of it all is the big day-my sister's wedding. Damn! I still can't belief she is getting married. Why do I find it so hard to let her go. I guess I have never really seen her as someone who is grown up and is ready to start a family. She is only 4 years older than me.So we never really had any serious conversations as siblings.It is always something silly, with us " barking" at each other. And of course ,have I mentioned that we are totally different.She is the more cool one.Well I am on the other hand , the more stressed one.I remember mum telling me once that she has kids at two opposite poles of the world.How true=) Anyway I told Chumi ( my sister) last week, "Chum, I can't belief you are getting married. You will still be the same after getting married right" ....I had no idea where that came from.. She being herself said this " Stupid..... I also can't belief I am getting married" Than the conversation got interrupted.Hmm, now thinking back, what she means she can't belief, isn't she the one who is getting married. Just look at the amount of thinking imbalance that this matrimony can bring out in a person. Honestly, I think she is the only one who is making sense of this month of love- 10 years in love & she is finally embarking on a new journey with the man who has managed to sweep her off her feet. All the best!

Holidays

One month of break is over=( Classes are starting this Monday and I am already home-sick. 30 days just passed by.Nevertheless, I did do something,lets see-

- followed mom to distribute cards( wedding cards)

Take responsibility for every area of your life.
Wave at kids on school busses.
Be there when people need you.
Feed a stranger's expired parking meter.
Don't expect life to be fair.
Never underestimate the power of love.
Drink champagne for no reason at all.
Live your life as an exclamation, not an explanation.
Don't be afraid to say, "I made a mistake."
Don't be afraid to say, "I don't know."
Compliment even small improvements.
Keep your promises no matter what.
Marry for love.
Rekindle old friendships.
Count your blessings.
Call your mother.

Say It Out Loud

2010-01-17T12:13:00.005+08:00

Aloha! Morning morning morning. Well, afternoon actually=) But what shall I say the earth is definitely turning differently in my world( at least for me). My mornings are now my afternoons, my late nights are actually my mornings. I am awake when the world is sleeping and sleeping when the world is awake. Being a total bum!=) Pretty much enjoying it at the moment. Anyways, well today there are plans, so not too bad I guess. So, yesterday was a busy day running behind the kids and all, and watched A.R. Rahman's live show from Sydney. An awesomely awesome show.Totally mind blowing. Sometimes if you need to distress, what better way than listening to music. Plus, now I know my bro-in-law went with his than girlfriend to watch Rahman's concert the last time he was here ( No,not my sis)=) By the way what I like about A.R.Rahman is his humble and down to earth nature. Never had the slightest "tinge" of ego in him. Moving on, I had a heart to heart talk with my big sis. You know, the serious emotion filled conversation that comes up once in a blue moon. It was worth it. So, to keep things short, in life we can solve many things just by sitting and talking, even the most stubborn headed person will eventually calm down. Never shout, listen and give the other person a chance to talk.Trust me, it works. Never make an assumption on what the other person is thinking, cause most of the time in life we waste time worrying what others will say and never move forward.So,take it from me, don't make judgments, let whoever it is to speak, than make the decision. Told you didn't I, life is simple and it is us who make things complicated. Plus, don't assume that everyone can read your mind, whatever it is please say it out loud. We are no computer to read people's mind by the way.

Just to share:
I had a choice between love and hate. I choose love and I am here...
~A.R.Rahman~

When My Brain& Heart Works Together...

2010-01-13T23:52:00.006+08:00

There are certain things in life that intrigues me. Have you noticed when there is a certain something that is going on in life, which is all happy,than, suddenly you find yourself bombarded with all the sad things-usually some form of sickness that occurs in the family. And, worst still, it has to happen on some auspicious day. Great huh? What a story plot, full of climax! Well, I am going through it at the moment-2nd time! Having this feeling of nothing -totally empty ( you know the sort of feeling when you get some happy news, and than an hour later, somebody tells you a bad news, finally you wont know how to react) Never mind if you don't get it-just to vent out my frustration. Anyways, I have been in this thinking mode these few days. When I finally willingly want to break free and fly away, I just realize I cant. What is stopping me?RESPONSIBILITIES! By the way did anyone tell you ( if you happen to be the youngest in the family just like me) that you are lucky and you must be pampered. Take it from me, it is rubbish! You know being the last does not necessarily means you are the spoiled child. In fact we go through a rather different journey. You became the shoulder to cry on. Parents tell you most of the things and that becomes somewhat like a pillar- you think twice before doing something just not to repeat the same mistakes your siblings had made( in case they have). Along the way you pick up minute details that can hurt their feelings, and you keep reminding yourself not to do it. Sometimes, we mould ourselves to be a perfectionist. I never deny, I know I try to be a perfectionist most of the time- I am as simple as if I know, I know, if I don't, I don't. As simple as it may sound,its actually pretty complex.Well,that's not the way to live life( purely out of experience ,I am telling). Than as we grow,parents grow.They tend to be extra extra sensitive,so our roles becomes more challenging-we should be extra careful. Later on, as they age, they get their separation anxiety. They always want to be surrounded by their children-never ready to let go. We on the other hand, well don't move about much- you are caught in between your rebellious and curious nature and the real fact, trying to please everyone except yourself. A little confused, not wanting to hurt anyone in the process of getting your freedom. Oh, than there is the other thing being the last, you are the ONLY hope, ONLY chance to fulfill dreams and what not. The worst is when you say no that's not how you feel, but you are constantly reminded that's your feeling,leaving you with not knowing how to feel, because you are told how to feel ( Drop this if its tooo confusing) . You sometimes never really get a chance to make a decision, cause almost always a good decision is made for you. Sometimes you are filled with guilt, cause you go through a smooth journey that many never had a chance, everything perfect, and when you try to break free, the feeling of guilt just takes over you, reminding yourself to be grateful. I am confused now... But the only thing I tell myself is that it could probably be just the age, the curious nature and I am not wise enough to take the decision. Let the one's with the experience to handle it. I guess this must be one helluva journey filled with surprises!

2 Days & Nothing Exciting

2010-01-11T20:48:00.007+08:00

Namaste. I am finally back home for holidays-exams are over for now. My lungs are properly expanding now=) You know I have read many causes of diarrhoea, but I would like to add just one more self-experienced and 100% true cause- exam-induced diarrhoea=( And its like the worst thing to have! Anyways, lets start off with my train journey.For the first time, I took the 2nd class seating,it was always berth, but that was only because the tickets are sold out as usual and I have no idea why do people need to go back all that often when it is not even the holiday season(okay,sounds pretty selfish,sorry,just a little frustration,but nevertheless I am glad that at least I have got the tickets to go home. So, in this train journey, I had a friend along with me. Though different seats, we spend the first three hours exploring and practically loitering from one coach to the other. We even saved a teenage girl from a horny man (no joke,no dramatization,for real). Later, enjoying the sight of the Penang bridge from the canteen of the train. In fact, I only knew the train had a mosque that day, thanks to our curiosity. After 3 solid hours, we went to our respective seats. They were playing Tom& Jerry, and than had Batman Returns on TV.I got squeezed between a moderately build man and the window, not moving an inch, with the weight of my lap top and few clothes,water bottles resting on my lap. Just to add on to all of that, it was THE time of the month.Just great! What a disaster! I only remember swearing to myself all through the journey- no more seating coach for me, its either berth or not going home. I was hardly sleeping,a little worried about the safety of my belongings. I can feel my muscles crying out in pain! All stiffened in the 10 hours journey. However, it was compensated with me sleeping the following day=) This past two days, was pretty boring, besides shouting ( no, its hard to talk to kids nowadays,simply because they don't behave like one) and bugging my mom's life.The only good thing that kept my energy level a little high was watching Yaadein,Dance India Dance and watching Jodhaa Akbar-hmm, Hrithik love your movements, extremely flexible!--Oh yes, love you too!Yup, that is pretty much about it. Tomorrow, taking mom to hospital, well the rest of the day still remains a mystery.Hopefully,it will be an exciting one!

The Man

2009-12-31T10:32:00.005+08:00

I walked into the room
I see him
Sitting at the edge of the bed
His eyes looking at the floor
I have not seen him smiling
For months now
I teared
But quickly wiped it away
He must never see me crying
I reached for his hands
Slowly moistening his palm with the lotion
" Can you scratch my back?"
"Of course" I said
Dutifully doing what I was told
As a daughter
Do you want to watch a movie?
I persistently asked
Knowing both him and I enjoyed doing it
He scolded me
I cried
No, not because of what he said
But because I am aware of his pain
It tore my heart apart
Scolding God
For putting him through this
The days flew
And than came the time when he had to leave me
I hated God
Clueless as to whats happening
The man is no more
But his teachings and his memory
Will always be treasured...

Tough Lessons Of Life

2009-12-31T09:45:00.003+08:00

Less than 24 hours and we will be moving into a new year,2010! Unbelievable, the time is moving so fast.I have no idea what I did in the last two years. It just came and went,each day lived, yet not to the fullest.Yes, not to the fullest. I am maturing with each passing year, thus I expect myself to set goals and learn more, and be more responsible and set my priorities right. However little did I know, God had His own plans.Though it was not a smooth ride, but I definitely learned more.Mostly the lessons of love, life, family, friends, and trust. I have learned to appreciate the smallest things in life.To be grateful for being able to wake up each morning and to be able to see and feel the warm morning sunlight.To be grateful to hear my mum's voice every morning. To be grateful to be blessed with sisters who are supportive. Most importantly, I know I have a shoulder to cry on when I need one. What more could I ask for? I am truly blessed. My friends have also thought me valuable lessons. Along the way, I met friends whom I was not closed too initially. Funny, when things were fine for me, the world seemed polished! No problems,everyone seemed happy, but it was these two years that thought me people fall into the dark pit and they just climb out of it, and move on.They try to create the life they want. Honestly, it is never the end of the world when problems come your way. It is merely an opportunity for you to be strong, to grow, to learn and to survive. I have been pushed around a lot in the last two years. There were times when I had to bit my tongue and keep quite when something really unacceptable and irrational happens. I was not left with any choice. From being a quite and unnoticed student, now I cant walk anywhere without being unnoticed. I have encountered many stubborn headed and some extremely egoistic teachers. Some of which I wish I could just twist their ears and tell them " Moron, listen to me, you are no God, so don't behave like one!" They are many times I have burst out crying in the restroom, just wanting to run away and to hug someone. Now, thinking back, it was a lesson to make me strong and to move on. It was God's way of saying " See child, this is life, not the one you think it is, meet some of these people, they will teach you how to live." How true! Friends? Well,I had many. Still do. But strangely, it was those who I have met in the last two years who have been my strength. Family? My BIGGEST bundle of joy and love. I would never trade them in for anything! No, thank you , I am much happier in their presence. I remember a friend telling me once, " God only test those who are strong" . Well, thanks Lord, I am strong, just be my foundation-my strength and I am sure I wont have a problem facing the world.

My love

2009-12-26T08:24:00.005+08:00

His strong arms wrapping me
His breath gently
Moistening my neck
His heart beat
Singing our favorite song
His fingers artistically
Making its way up and down my arms
Stopping on its journey
To carve an invisible love on my skin
Only felt by me
Sending a wave of happiness
That slowly pulls me into a sea of joy
His toes naughtily caressing my legs
I let go a small giggle
With his constant kisses on my shoulder
I looked up at his face
His blue eyes is a beauty of its own
They instantly connected with mine
We spoke
With no words
A million things were said
Yet no one heard us
His face
Looked like thousands of diamonds
Put together
Glowing under the sunlight
I thanked Lord
A silent prayer went His way
Letting Him know
How grateful I am
To be loved!

A New Start

2009-12-25T23:37:00.003+08:00

I sat by the window
Looking out
Into the horizon
The mountain top
Framed by the dark blue sky
Keeps me wondering
Where does this journey end
What is in store tomorrow
Will the purple morning glory bloom,
Spreading warmth and joy to my heart
Will the morning bird chippings
Come as a beautiful tune into my ear
Will the cold breeze touch my skin
Giving me a feeling of joy
Uplifting my spirit
To go ahead with another new day
Or will it be just another day
With the sound of traffics deafening me
And the smoke clogging the pores of my skin
Aging me
Looking much older than my true age
Or just another sight of insane beings
Scratching one another with sharp claws
To be the best
Whatever it is,
Lies in the eye of the beholder,
A change can only be done
When the way something is looked at is changed,
A closed door,
Can be the end of the world
or merely a start to a new journey...

A Thousand Words Of Thank You May Never Be Enough

2009-12-18T11:51:00.006+08:00

A SPECIAL NOTE: THIS GOES TO SAY THANK YOU TO MY SECOND SISTER SHAM.YOU ARE MY BIGGEST STRENGTH. A SINCERE THANK YOU!

AND I AM SHARING THEM WITH THE REST WHO NEEDS A LITTLE COMFORT, WHO NEEDS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT, AND TO THOSE WHO LOVES, APPRECIATE, AND LEARNS FROM LIFE.INDEED," LIFE IS THE BIGGEST UNIVERSITY"- HOW TRUE, THOSE WERE THE ADVICE BY MY LATE FATHER.

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"

The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way."

I wrote: "Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it."

Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people that they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling.
And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it.

They Are Back, And I Am The Most Happiest Person!

Wait, .... just had to calm myself. My heart was beating in excitement , and no no no, not due to exams , wait a sec, my heart beats in FEAR in case of an exam=)this is purely because of the first picture that caught my eye this morning in the papers....

AHHHH!Madness! Purely mad! Think I am going crazy, I just love the both of them! Love, Love, Love! Now, they are back again in " My Name Is Khan". I feel like screaming in excitement. They have got the best chemistry on screen, just so perfect , like how perfectly an antigen binds to an antibody! That's how perfect. I can't wait to watch! You know, I used to grow up watching their movies, always pretending to be Kajol ( common I am sure I am not the only one like that, rite?) or dancing to their songs , and falling totally in love for the solid 3 hours that the show runs. Its divine and pure love. Pardon me again for the crapping, but I have got a disproportionate amount of happiness in me today, like a new flow of energy. I think its fair, considering the fact that yesterday I had THE worst day in my life. Today, I just want to drown in a sea of happiness.LA,LA,LA,LA,LA....

Lotus F1 Racing VS Virgin Racing

2009-12-18T10:52:00.004+08:00

Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes VS Sir Richard Branson

Now, both these GROWNUP boys own their own airline. The bet is-the loser of the F1 race between Lotus F1 Racing & Virgin Racing, has to dress up as a flight attendant on the winner's airline. How cool is that? I don't mean bad alright, but this is just like one of the movies in which two business rivals fight with one another, doing the ridiculous things to see who is the best! And I really think its funny and cool.Just imagine, one of them will end up in a stewardess outfit, serving you.What a sight!Can't wait to see who the winner is...

Quotes For The Day

2009-12-14T10:31:00.002+08:00

" Resentments are guaranteed to hinder our growth. We can never know full happiness when resentment clouds our vision. Why is it so hard for us to "forget" the small injuries of life? We have never been promised freedom from pain. Many of the lessons we are destined to learn will scuff our egos. But we will know happiness, completely, if we free our minds of resentments.

The formula for happiness is simple. We don't need material wealth, a perfect job, or an exceptional relationship. In fact, it's possible to know happiness with no job, very little money, and no significant other. Happiness is a by-product of a healthy attitude. And a healthy attitude is one that takes the normal turmoil of life. I am in charge of my attitude today. Happiness is a choice I can make regardless of what the people around me are doing."
A Woman's Spirit by Karen Casey --- Submitted by Steven Wingell

" When I try hard, don't succeed and see only darkness; when I have no hope and decide to give it up, God shows omens of his existence and gives me the best I deserve."
Pradnya Potdar

" When the weight of the world becomes your problem, you need to trust in God and leave it all in his hands and he will see you through. Until then, chill out and let God have his way."

I Just Had My High School Life' Flashed' Before My Eyes

2009-12-07T23:53:00.006+08:00

Pre-examination look:

- unruly eyebrows
- scratched marks and black spots on the face
- stressed induced hair drop
-weight oh weight-i have put on weight =(
-24 hour coffee smelling breath
- black circles around the eye
- white of the eye turning red in the evening
-a constantly beating heart

Haloha, I don't usually blog during exams-having a major exam. But anyways , thought I will write down what happened today before I loose my sentiments attached to the event of the day.By the way those description above are only applicable to me before major exams. I got up this morning with a somewhat depressed- somewhat scared- somewhat giving up feeling. Had to go see a lecturer today to clear some issues with attendance. But I was already not feeling that good about today. However, I went and got things settle. Than I met another lecturer ( you know the same person whom I spoke about in My Life: Less Than 48 hours- Part 2) to get my marks. Than we were discussing the answers. She complemented me=) it went something like this " You are an intelligent girl, you have answered very well, continue and do the same for your finals". As we were talking , she said " Don't run away from life". I am like huh??? Why suddenly? Out of the blue. But it sounded right, like a lesson someone needed to put through right into my head. " Don't be stressed, study, don't think of your problems, I know its not easy, keep them apart, even till now it affects me, but you have to do your best, all for your father, be a good doctor, and He will bless you". " God takes something and gives something else, you at least have your sisters to depend on." I teared. I hung my head down and silently thank her and was brought back to the past and suddenly reality hit me. Sometimes , just sometimes I wonder, why do I meet people like her,when, I am in the verge of giving up and breaking down and crying for the amount of stress I have, but she just gives me motivation out of the blue, its as if God told her to encourage me. I thanked her........(moments of silence for me to clear my thoughts).......... And made my way out of the office. So , as I was walking, these bunch of guys walked pass me. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting " Ruby". Huh? I am pretty sure I did not see anyone that I know in the last 6 feet distance. I turned and I see this guy walking up to me. Think Ruby , think , think fast, who is he??? Ringggg, oh my high school friend.Oh boy, it was surely nice to see him after, hmm, 6 years. I went like " Vicky?" "Yeah", came his response. Oh my god, "Vicky here? What are you doing?" Duh , obviously studying I thought to myself but you know I was all just excited to see a friend after such a long time.It was like a trip down memory lane just by seeing him. We spoke, and I got to know he joined my college after his college back in Padang was hit by earthquake. After which, we said our goodbyes. About 10 feet distance from me, he shouted and said " You have not changed!" I am like , oh my god , just strike my mind I am not all well dressed up today- With my extra pounds, hair tied into a bun, undone eyebrows, NO Eyeliner and mascara( the worst of all) , and a all scratched up face? Damn. Okay the thing is I would have like to see an old friend in a much more presentable way- you know like at least I have evolved in the last 6 years! God, I..., well, felt extremely disappointed and like really crushed=( I felt like telling him, " Hey buddy, check me out after 3 months okay? Now like I am having my finals, I am not really myself" but unfortunately, I could not shout in the presence of others. I just smiled and walked away. Well yeah, that was exactly how my morning was. I was happy to see him but was saddened later.But he is a smart guy, said it at quite a distance, or else I would have had him turned upside down and swallow back his words! Hehe. No doubt he has grown into one fine man.

P/S= Can't wait for the exams to be over! Please pray for me=) Love you people.

23 And Don't Feel Like One

2009-11-29T23:39:00.002+08:00

Its exactly 23 years today, since my existence in this world. Yup,its my birthday.So,Happy Birthday to me. I was supposed to have completed my notes today, but, nop, had a change in plan. In total, I would have at least spend 3 hours on the phone today, that too two hours continuously. Now,I am finding myself having difficulties concentrating on anything.I think its the after effect of using the hand phone--- probably an estimated 10 % of my brain cells would have been dead by now=(. I actually feel the difference=) Forgive me, if you find myself crapping, but I am in the phase between "Shall I stay up and study" or " Shall I go to bed".I can feel my eyes burning! Honestly all I wanted to do was to write about life in the past 23 years.Now, that I am staring at the screen to type away, there is no output. Well, I think the "input" must have got destroyed with the cells. Anyway, quite a slow day, did not feel all the " Oh Yes Its My Day Today". Just felt like any other normal day. Got too emotional at one point of time. But, God is great know? He send me a cake and wishes in the form of my housemates! So,yes, for that I am grateful. Well,I think I am going to go to bed after all. Don't think the cup of coffee is going to make any difference. There were many things I learned this week from my friends, some really worth full lessons of life.Will share it with you guys soon.Have a blessed and splendid day ahead.And once again,Happy Birthday to me- what? Hey, it was the day I was born, I need credit for it=) Love you people. Oh by the way, I saw a picture of Susan Boyle today and I think she has got a nice hair do that suits her face. And, hmm,well, I actually think Adam Lambert looks good! I think its the eyeliner and spiked up hair and the.. well so not bad smile.
