Prata Date

 

why do we ..?

this is for the girl who loves to sing when she's talkin to me over da phone;

we will always miss the ones who wldnt miss us, or at least we wldnt know if they would.
we alway end up preaching something and then practicing another.
we tell each other to stay away, but we're back to square one sometimes.
we scold each other for making a mistake but we make the same ones.
there's always a bit of loser in us.
but having you around makes it all better, sometimes.

can't get out

its easy to think you have moved on with your life. no looking back, no sense of regret, no sadness.
that can all change in an instant, can't it?
but what if you do not possess the power to change something in your life
because the power lies with another person?
i feel i'm back to square one over and over again.
i can't seem to get outta this. its just me i know.
i can't get out. its just me.

wish i'd found you

 

how'd you managed to do it?

i don't know how you do it but maybe its the way you are naturally/its everytime i'm with you that i'm like this/i can't find the words to describe it maybe its just the way i am being myself silly/its just you and its just me and we are the way we wanna be/perhaps thats the way its gotta be/.

wheeeeee....

shalu, i'm fine. dun worry. and i miss you alot. hurry meet me soon! :)

hemmi naan okay. kavalai vendaam. nee eppadi iruke?

can it get worser than this?

bad bad day. didnt start right, not gonna end right. i really don't know why.
guess i had way too much fun yesterday and monday, and a bad wednesday to make it all balance. the only great thing abt today was riding with fid and terry and prata-ing after that.

i just hate today.

kopi with da klan

ehh i just blogged a whole lotta stuff but blogger screwed up. so i'll make it short.
dinner with the jeeva clan last evening. horrendously fun with lotsa great food. i'm in love with roti john. next time i visit prata house, i'm gonna ask for some. haha..
and the boys love my specs. its cool, what to do :p

besides food, there's soccer. man utd won sheffield utd 2-1. cld haf a better scoreline i guess. and i caught first half of pool and boro. goal-less draw. why shalu why! pls take over benitez's role. haha.. and newcastle drew with arsenal! well done! :))

this fun.

photos courtesy of yuana the pojok :) working at hpb for the health discovery day at healthzone. cabelyn made me become max for the first day. and the next day, i bullied yuana into donning the mascot outfit. its a sauna in there man. nevertheless, it was tons of fun. certainly made the kids laugh and smile and some babies cry.
thanks to yuana benny and khorkiee for helping me with the attire. as you can see from da pics, its pretty difficult getting into it in da first place. and zipping up and all. haha.. plus max's head is too big for me. so i kept adjusting it. 2 days of fun and laughter, and our last-minute choreographed "hip hop" dance. haha.. dragged benny to dance with us. lotsa things to rmbr this event fondly.
khorkiee's sarcastic comments to the primary school kids, which just made yuana and i laugh.
this indian boy calling me "aunty"! arghhh.. benny was da uncle lah..
yuana and i running away from a persistent boy who wanted to discover who max was :p
entertaining kids and adults.
being horrendous tired though.
well worth it. thanks carrot sup cabelyn! 

love's about me and you

whats with me and cacat blog titles? haha. anyway feel like i havent blogged for a bit. got lots to say, mostly abt being at school. school's been good lah. those long breaks have been spent playing daidee with min criz and yuana, with jinghui being the oh-so-wise-master of daidee. haha.. thanks criz for bringing da cards i love you many! and tues evening, criz yuana eileen and i were playin snap and heart attack in da north canteen. thanks to our screaming, almost every1 was lookin at us. haha.. gotta admit it was damn fun man. uno next time pls! :)

it was sw seminar today. titled "sport, wellness and the media". got great guest speakers, notably mr andrew leci and mr des corkhil from espn, miss linda fulford from fulford pr and mr kelvin chia from ssc. it was great. were talking to the sbm director after the seminar. pretty insightful.
anyway been a great day, disturbing eileen, as usual and complaining to min and criz and laughing over jh's sarcasm.

yday was spent with shalu and mr bond, james bond. haha.. i'm not really an action movie buff, but well, as a last resort, shalu and i wenta catch casino royale and to tell ya da truth, the movie's really great. it was funny, witty, sarcastic, full of fast-paced action and drama and we kept wondering when the movie was gonna end! haha.. i enjoyed watching it with shalu, who kept mentioning that a particular scenery looked like hogwarts from harry potter. haha. so now i'm constantly disturbin her abt that. aye..

talked to the bestu friendu this evening. was thinkin of her and suddenly she just called, which is pretty weird cause normally she doesnt do the calling. yeap. and miss gayathri nair u dumb busy woman, i miss you. pls tell me when ya not so busy and we cld prolly catch up :)

fill that void, won't you?

wenta meet hemma for early dinner. poor girl has been attached to a place in bishan for her cip. why do people give us such far places? me to pasir ris and hemma to bishan?! haha.. but well, this means that i can meet her often during these 2 weeks! FUN!

had a simple dinner at long johns.. updated on our life and stuff. its so easy talking to hemma, you can just be yourself and talk about anything under the sun, moon and stars. great. hemma u r romba approachable, vallaval, nallaval, sumaithaangi, beerangi and not forgetting, maathangi! :p

ice-creamed at haagen dazs. it was so sinful. god.. i really feel awful. all that chocolate straight down to the stomach! haha.. and ya, i bought a tshirt! whats new?! okok, anyway it was great meeting hemma, as usual.

school was great too. we were late on the first day! thank god it was damien lee's lesson :)
great seeing every1. esp rajwant and uzair. monday is declared to be "sw" day.

well, been having lotsa fun but there's a void which i feel can't be filled.
something's missing and i hope you know its you.

its still sad

the holidays are coming to an end. back to school tmr for our last semester. how fast time flies. its on an overdrive. the years have been catching up on us all, hasnt it? we wished for many things when we were younger; we wanted cars, money, a fancy house, clothes. its no fun getting older though. everything has sort of lost its simplicity, everyone has lost their innocence. everything you say or do has a double meaning now. you hafta think twice or thrice before you say something, because even simple words might offend some people. well, welcome to adulthood. its really no fun at all. at 16 we thought we were grown up, matured. but we were wrong. even at 19 now, we think we are grown up, we sorta know the world, but we are still wrong. there are some people who may look 19 or even older, but still have not reached the stage of being a grown-up. what are the responsibilities of being an adult? its not just the money and the great career you have always dreamt of. no its not. its not just about reaching your goals and getting what you want. its how you get to your goals and about the people who are with you, or the people you have stepped upon to realise your dreams, and the people who have cared so much for you but you left them cause you thought they didnt understand and couldnt understand your way of life.

tell me whats the point of becoming so successful when at the end of the day, at the end of the years, you have no one to share it with? there's no one for you to call with excitement over buying a new car, or to cry over a failure, or just a bad day? then what is the value of all those money and fame? its still gonna be a lonely life for you.
why chase away the person who cares the most?

misjudgement and contradictions

recently i made a comment abt a guy i had seen. he was with someone i knew and the moment i saw him, i told the person beside me that he looks like a "kuppai", a typical way to describe a typical tamilan i guess. but what made him be labelled as one? was it the colour of his hair? dyed brown or with streaks of blonde? his hairstyle? (which once i had!)

it turned out that he is a rather nice person, from what i heard abt him later.
i felt bad that i had judged him by his looks, when in fact i preach that people shdnt be judged by the way they look. how far accurate is first impression? why do we glance at someone and just said "oh he looks like a kuppai lah. look at the colour of his hair. look at the multiple piercings."

what defines a "kuppai"? (in tamil, its literally "rubbish")
i have dyed hair. i had so-called-horrible hairstyles before, with the aid of gatsby hair wax.
i have 3 ear piercings in total, none of my ear studs match.
- so does that make me a kuppai? i mean what if i am spotted in tekka, lets say just in front of a temple, i'm wearing jeans and t shirt (as usual) and some highly-pious passer-by-aunty sees me
and thinks to herself "enna lah idhu, ponnu maathiri pogaama, jeans-nu pottutu, mudi yellaam oru maathiri vechukitu poikittirukku?" (what is this? instead of dressing appropriately as a girl, she's wearing jeans and having this hairstyle?)

this person hardly knows me. but she's quick to comment. she might not even be near the truth. tsk tsk.. see the mistake i make too? its pretty sad. next time i see someone, i'll try not to run such comments. yikes.

hmm, so what have i been doing? brother's 21st party. despite it being a small affair, it was tons of fun cause of the wonderful family members who were there; nava aunty, kaveri aunty, kumutha aunty (thank u for da delicious cake!), suguna aunty, kamala aunty and arasi aunty and all of their families. thanks to the shopping trip with dear shalu, i got brother a wallet, which he very much needed, but has been lazy to get one i guess. the last i checked, he is still using his old wallet, grrr..

helped out at an event at tkps along with hanson, firhan, terry and carolyn. tiring, but lotsa fun. u wld have seen terry and carolyn on tv. it was the signing of home united fc becoming the smoke-free ambassadors, or the "butt kickers". terry apparently was the cigarette butt!
yeap, after that, it was the usual soccer tournament. wenta carolyn's office after that and headed back. it was fun, and hanson, we are not extras lah! :) u bullied the pri sch girls by askin them to carry tables! haha..

headed to hemma's place aft that. divya was da only one who was awake. i tried to wake hemma by hitting her with a copy of The New Paper (its really a useful paper!), but she didnt even stir! MAADU! divya with her loud voice had to announce my arrival, so aunty woke up, haha.. i cant rmbr what hemma or aunty said that evening, but i had a terrible case of hiccups. goodness.. we went to fetch div from tuition.. ended up at macs for a small snack. and hemma and i ran from divya cause we wanted to reach hm earlier. haha.. madness lah..

next evening was spent with gaya and shalu. dinner with them. fun as usual :) great to see them once again and yeap, its always nice to see the both of them, or even one of them!
had to go back to pasir ris cause i forgot to bring the mm text book back (which yuana kindly passed to me!).

tv-ing with every1 and had a nice talk with bala uncle, yes its "B-to-the-A-to-the-L-to-the-A"! BALA, thats what they say! :p
bala uncle is one of the nicest person to talk to cause i personally think he is very knowledgeable abt many stuff, i really wonder where he reads them from. haha.. that evening was spent talkin abt keeping certain pictures of hindu deities and the consequences of it all. real nice :)

Happy birthday VANISHA DASS :)))
entertained aunty's friends who came over for lunch and this cute 7 yr old girl labelled me as "naughty girl" :( i dunno what i did to her. brother drove all the way from his camp to pick me up and he became the naughty boy lah.. haha.. we wenta pick divya up too.. pros of having a car lah.. :p helped nava aunty to finish the leftover deepavali cookies and brother and i headed off to the west to pick kaveri aunty and koms! i was happily singing in da car, not exactly blasting the music lah.. bro drives like a pro really. he shd get a car, if he can afford it. haha..

picked aunty up and another fun journey back hm. and then it was off to this indian cultural show. we were joined by pk aunty, aunty ron, sivaji uncle suguna aunty and lots more lah.
pretty fun night, singing along, passing lame comments with koms and aunty ron! haha..
ended at 11:30pm and i went along with pk aunty to arasi aunt's house for dinner. we were UNfashionably late but there was still wonderful food for us! arasi aunt cooks superbly! haha.. watched the man u match with pannir uncle, sens and brother. and man u ended up playing with "potong pasir", some inside joke lah. haha..

left at 1am with bro and sens and we drove to toapayoh for tea! after that it was home sweet home where mum was waiting for us. how tiring.

there, thats all i did. one more week to the opening of school :)

sivan punched card to mark her attendance in blogosphere and left to watch soccer.
