happy birthday ranjan :)

the freshly-dyed-hair boy turns 19! :) haha.. gayathri, shalini and i, being the nice angels, had dinner with ranjan at fish and co and even got him a small but yummy (its shalu's fav cake!) cake with a candle! see, ranjan loves the cake. okay lah, we struggled to finish it though.
but well, it was great spending time with my BEST FRIENDS, as the 3 mad people were shouting when i was answering a phone call. the fun never seems to stop :) wheeeeeee..

life with prata.

the sidekickpal is flying off without me. so it was a post-xmas-cum-farewell party for min.
we were joined by annie, eileen, criz, ifah, fid, benny and terry. absolutely fun group which constantly made fun of one another and added on to the noise level.
thanks to crizzie wizzie boo for her lovely xmas gift! :)

and here's terry's gift for me! a poster of cristiano ronaldo. not a great fan of c.r but he is honestly playing a terrific game for man utd these days. well, he really does perform some magic on the pitch :) thanks terry!

ahh that was at shalu's place on her bday.. some loosu shot by us.. actually i'm just tryna say that shalu is a donkey. which is of course, the truth, and nothing but the truth.

my best xmas eve with the girls; cynthia, shan and mabel. i was happily munching on popcorn with shan :) haha.. and ya, like i said, throwing some at mabel. life's great.

last evening was spent with sajeetha and senthil brother over at a restaurant in thomson road. such great company. we went for dessert at l.k. well, its just nice sitting down talking to people whom you feel comfortable with. sometimes you could give the world to have people like that. in this case, i'm lucky enough to have some great people. wheee...

sivan smokes da biggest cigarette

presenting to you, the biggest cigarette, which you can't smoke lah!
thats just terry werry inside the mascot suit. which he was sorta coerced to wear during the too tuff to puff street soccer tournament in tkps. we helped our dear carolyn sup! "We" meaning terry, hanson, firhan and me. look the cigarette says "peace"! haha.. madness.

MINYI!! congrats for passing your TP! :))))) your sidekickpal's proud of you. haha..

eileen gave me a car for axemas :))

joy to da world, i've got a car for axemas! but one problem; its left-hand drive. which isnt allowed in singapore. haha.. okay, leen made and painted a car for me. see that blue car i'm holding? yes, i should name the car.. hmmm... i can't think of one right now. oh wells..
anyway please bear in mind that if you DRINK, you DON'T DRIVE!! look at the bottle of barcardi that she got me. she thinks i'm some "kudikaari" (drunkard). i am preserving the drink... perhaps till new year :) whatta nice axemas it has been. happy mealing at mac and chilling out at home with mommy!

thanks leen for da gifts. love it tons.

and last night was da best axemas eve. met up with shan, cynthia and mabel for dinner.
popcorn-ed with shan and threw some at mabel.. what fun..

okayyy.. merry axemas everyone. thanks shan for the songs! thanks mabel and cynthia for the practical gift! mm.. thanks everybody lah. wish me luck on wednesday :)

the simple things .. wheee ..

merry axemas :)

the only xmas tree photo i have. haha.. deprieved.. but its with shanny!
so ya, merry axemas to everyone! :)
sing mariah's song and chill wherever you are!

one more time, for her

SW0401ers, next thursday 28th december, 6pm, Thomson Prata Cafe.
Monthly prate date, in conjunction with Minyi's farewell.

"farewell" sounds too sad :( how abt "Minyi's Escapade to Germany"?
sigh.. i never expected it to be this hard, but i feel i'm gonna be, hmm how do i put it..
like something's been unwillingly taken away from me. its gonna make a huge difference once she's not here. prolly cause she makes hell lotta noise when she's in school with me. okay thats mean! but that is Min! apart from the entertainment i get when i'm with her, its gotta be the everyday-calls that i get from her. there's no one else.. nobody. not any one.
bluddy hell.. sheesh.. but well, Min if you see Oliver Kahn in germany, say i loved him during world cup 2002.

the farmer in the dell.. oh well..

the year is coming to an end and i havent accomplished much. i tried paving my way to someone's heart; not that easy if the person seems so guarded and puts a fence around the heart aye?
whoever said its going to be easy? and i've never been the type of person to let it go just like that. spell it out; p-e-r-s-i-s-t-e-n-t !! annoying to a certain extent, endearing to another.
gosh, let me stop blowing my own trumpet. why a trumpet? i prefer the saxophone.. hmm..

anyways, i've yet to pick up the books. ccrm ica2, report writing ica2, pt ica1 (sigh) and qm ica1 await us when we're back to school. how cheery can the term break be? not really. the spirit of christmas hasnt really hit me hard. christmas is always a quiet issue back here. with the exception of last year where i spent it at a cousin's place with the rengas. that had been fun.
this year.. we'll see how it goes yeah..

after roaming around in toapayoh central on a stormy tuesday afternoon with benny, i've found the handphone that i want! yayness for me! presenting to you .............


the sony ericsson w810i. terry has the sliding phone, which i had initially thought was bulky, but its actually sleek and compact. cheers to terry for finally getting his phone changed :) mine's in a pretty bad state too, thanks to the countless number of times that i've dropped it and flipped it, and throw it on the sofa, SCRATCHED the lcd screen :( i love my phone. but i guess i didnt show it. which is a pity cause i've been wanting my nokia 6230 for a long time; and look how i treat it now. i guess when u finally get something, u dun really appreciate its value? unless u got it with great difficulty. sigh.. does the same goes for love? well i never know.

tp's next wednesday. with god's grace, nice instructors and great traffic situation, minyi, benny and i will all pass :) looking forward to that. not cause i have a car to drive, which isnt true cause i still gotta go thru dad's inspection/probation for a year. its just that the whole driving thingy is freaking expensive. which is why i begged/pleaded/threatened to take the bike licence, which no one at home is in favour of; thank you very much.
still, i can dream, can't i?

vespa gts. doesnt it scream "i'm all yours, sivan!!"? okay, someday. in the meanwhile, i'll be contented with being a pillion.

enough said. my dear shalu wants to be mentioned in my blog. so here goes;

Hi darling Shalu.. i hope liverpool wins arsenal for the carling cup q-finals :)
and ya, i'll be seeing ya tmr. haha.. and i know you love me loads. thanks! :p

okay lah, tired already. its 1am. ya, the solitude junkie doesnt wanna meet me, unlike my soccer junkie :( i'll go cry later..

shopaholic returns to singapore :)

shalooney is finally back from london and what better way to meet up with her than to surprise her on her birthday?! :)) wheee! gayathri, gaya (shalu's cousin) and i conspired a plan to get a cake, go to her house and shock her. well, she was pretty shocked, especially since that sleepyhead only got up at 1:30! tsktsk.. worth-it plan, it was a kodak moment for shalu. hahah..

The birthday baby and i :)

Gayathri, Sivan, Shalu and Gayathri! :) haha..

slacked the whole noon away in shalu's room, gayathri and i playin a dumb game with shalu and gaya. haha.. "black magic".. madness lah.. lunch at 4:30 at a nice coffee shop near her place.
happy birthday once again :)

its been awhile

aye, its been a while since i properly blogged; with the exception of my pictures lah. but well, wenta meet shan, san, zihui, mabel and cynthia for dinner. shan and i met earlier cause i hadnt gotten her san's gift. we actually spotted zihui and san while getting her gift, so we were practically hiding from the 2 of them. madness lah.

dinner at swensens. mabel and cynthia joined us. it was just like any other meet-up; filled with lotsa laughter, jokes and all. such vunderful company, i love :)
we had room for ice cream and i was literally freezing after that. walked around aimlessly while shan wenta get her xmas gifts. thanks to my personal sales assistant cynthia, i got a nice pullover :) whee.. best company with those girls. i just feel so comfortable.

human behaviour lecture got cancelled cause ms prema's having lung infection.
get well soon ms prema! :) term break's here. happy hols, lets hit da projs criz :p

ah, yday was spent at a workshop in ubi, getting im's and terry's vespas fixed and after that we headed to parkway parade to makan; the 5 of us; im, terry, fid, razinah and i.
each of us got something there. shopping! thanks to them, i got the bday gifts! muahaha..
bad weather though. thanks to terry for sending me home :)

wednesday, i was towning with eileen. had our lunch at our supposed favourite foodcourt in cineleisure. haha. but the carrot cake is nice lah! the-ever-so-nice-and-selfless eileen accompanied me all ard central singapore (ok not really!) to get some gifts. we wenta kampong glam. though i cldnt find anything at all, (i'm not really that picky lah leen!) it was pretty fun walkin down da streets, clutchin an umbrella, irritating leen, and singing songs. ahah..
by the time the sun had set, both of us were absolutely exhausted. nevertheless, it was an enjoyable day with keen leen (no more mean. cause she really isnt that mean lah).
so thank u very much ms tan. appreciate it lots.

tuesday morning was spent prata-ing with leen, in my attempt to somewhat cheer her up.
as usual she was the best friend of oscar the grouch that morning :p haha..
but prata perks every1 up! so by the time we were done with our telur prata and teh tarik, we were 2 happy people! headed to school after that. had ib presentation which was pretty okok.. we were faced with a live firing squad. managed to survive though.

ahh, dear ms chen minyi gave me an early xmas gift. a pack of man united playin cards that i'm in love with :)))) i love youuuuuuuu!! i hope i dun cry my eyes out when u leave.. thats not me! haha.. and jinghui's back! and we voted ms diana tan as the coolest lecturer in sbm, an unofficial vote though. madness lah..

kk enough updates. everybody go and sleep lah!!

that explains it.

xmas comes early?!

doesnt make sense lah.

what could have been may never materialise because what was seen into the future wasnt whats meant to be. lay all these hurt behind its no use troubling your mind anymore we can never change whats happened before lets just close this particular door while waiting for one more. let me try to get over this i know its going a little slower than what its been. sometimes i don't even know what i'm writing about there's just too much thoughts running through my head sometimes i even forgot what they're all about till someone gets me going back to that. rhyming is tiring i'm leaving it for now but i'll be back someday somehow.

united's triumph over city

3 goals by manchester united, widens the gap between man utd and chelsea,
like what the caption says; ahead by 9 points! christiano ronaldo finally got his goal;
he can however, be less selfish with the soccer ball.
rooney and saha the usual goal scorers.
now we'll cross our fingers while chelsea loses to arsenal aight?

and i miss my soccer junkie..
maybe she caught the match live at old trafford?! :p

picture courtesy of ESPNsoccernet. the best place to get soccer news :)

avec amour . with love.

Je suis heureux, à cause de tu :)

it's an ice cream high

thats dawn and me at icekimo, thomson road. missing in da picture is dearest bunny benny!
it was such fun having a wonderfully early dinner at ivins, followed by ice cream.
terribly sinful but well, lets indulge in these, once in a while shall we?
i shall refrain from more prata dates though.
oh, i rmbred that benny treated me to teh ice cino at prata house.
haha.. horrendously sinful meal; but the best company i could ask for :)

top of da table

as reported to me by a grinning kai this morning, manchester united has beaten benfica 3-1 to make their place among the 16 groups in the champions league. it was a different story from last year, where man utd crashed out early, after losing 2-1 to benfica. this means we're top of the table in group f! interestingly, the other 3 english clubs; chelsea, liverpool and arsenal, are also top of the table in their groups. but well, arsenal drew with porto, pool lost to galatasaray and chelsea won levski.

we are absolutely not looking for a liverpool comeback this year (i'm sorry shalu!)
hopefully, the trophy goes to the red devils. the reds (pool), the blues (chelsea) and the gunners (arsenal) can all go back home!

these wounds they will not heal

i took out my pen and paper to write. i stared blankly at the piece of paper and put them away.
i had no one to write to, anymore. i didnt know what i wanted to write about, anymore.
it didnt matter if my letters werent replied. what mattered was whether they were read.
sometimes i just feel this sense of loss beneath the huge amount of optimism i display.
i don't know where i get it from; learning to see through each fall. but i doubt the incidents will
fade away. i'm at a stage, where i still don't know what to do. sometimes i think things will never be all right. whats all right? i can't explain. it'll fade? i think it might never.

i might not be all right today
tomorrow i'll be okay.

just because ..

yes i feel better. i been feeling better ever since tuesday noon in school; all thanks to the nice people who desperately make me laugh, or rather i just laugh cause i can't help it.
either ways, i laugh and thats what matters. whether its minyi making me take silly shots of her poses during lectures/tutorials/u-name-the-place or its eileen making me laugh cause she claims i push her limit - shrugs. i dun actually. i brighten her life but she doesnt wanna admit it. uzair has become a mean person by tickling me during lesson. and he sleeps but deligently records what the tutor says. criz is vunderful, marvellous, fantastic and 100% huggable (tested and proven).
everyone else is great. i sing the praises of my classmates, most of the time. i sing well i guess..

a good friend is someone you can sit with and talk abt anything and everything.
hemma is a good friend/cousin all rolled into one. we had a great time prata-ing at prata house this afternoon. be it serious talk or silly talk, its always entertaining, challenging and intellectual (sometimes lah!) you are smart lah donkey. got problem, dun worry. just call divya. and divya will call me.

this post is so rubbish-y. i gotta finish up my report. and it is hereby declared that thomson prata house is the best chill-out place ever. they shd prolly hire me as their marketing executive. i'll get pratas for my wages.. wheee..

i thought blood is thicker than water. you proved me wrong. blood betrayers.

i am fucking pissed with my router, the home pc and my laptop. just when i thought technology is supposed to help you and all, and where does it leave me now? in the lurch. IN THE LURCH I TELL YOU. what the fuck. i spent the whole fucking evening trying to configure the bloody wireless so i can access, what else, the internet. why, to attempt to finish up the never-ending list of reports and assignments etc. u get the picture. i've lost count of the number of times i've unplugged and plugged in the ethernet cable, the whatever-cable, the so-and-so cable from the bloody modem to the bloody router and vice versa. but was the router one bit nice to me? no, never. where does this leave me again? in the lurch, yes thats right. i am fucking pissed, again. when all my work stuff is in my laptop, and i can't configure the bloody internet settings, but the status of the wireless is "connected". speed; "excellent"... my ass.

so now i'm back to using the basic connect-your-broadband-to-the-modem-and-you-can-access-the-internet. so much for "the whole house is wireless and you can even surf the net in the toilet". yeah right.

dont attempt to call me. i have never been this pissed, in a long long long time. trust me.

we cld have a club just for us :)

thanks to everyone who made it down for our prata date last thursday.
it was a good turnout, the biggest so far.
let me recall the wonderful people who graced us with their prescence;
eileen, minyi, criz, yuana, rajwant, clare, annie, firhan, leon, naufal,
qiuyu, yuanzhi, kaizhuan, benny, benson, uzair, imran, terry, hafid and me.
thats 20 of us. more than 3/4 of our class :) greatness!

it was a first!

Mean leen (now she wants to be known as sweet lah) and me after going for the blood donation drive on friday. went along with benny firry and yuana. pretty fast process. minimal pain.
so all of you, pls go and donate your blood today! see they even wrap ur arm in pretty lookin bandage.. yuana cld even choose the colour of hers.

anyway, leen just wanted to take a picture with me, as always lah.
so i'm posing spontaneously. aren't i nice? :)

its a monthly prata affair.

Our monthly prata date this month contained a surprise element. it was yuana's belated birthday celebration. thanks to fid for accompanyin me to get the peace cake! and eileen for being part of the birthday entourage.

Here's the birthday girl, Yuana. Peace!!

Leen and me. pls do not ask me what she's tryna do. cause i dun have a clue.

ms chen and me. she just loves takin photos with me. she can't help it lah.

crizzie wizzie boo and me. in mr.boo's tutorial class! haha.. she has become a rock chick, i wonder why... have fun in camp babe! :)

by hook or crook, we make it to prata dates.

presenting to you, the people who braved the sin ming storm and made it for the prata date. uzzy was the only one who was warm, dry and mmm.. i dunno. i had a plate of chicken briyani and 2 teh tarik. that hungry!

the smiley faces, a lil exaggerated.

my cousins and me. oh, eileen is part of the jeevas clan now. congratulations. haha..
mr.smiley face has replaced the original face, cause it was more traumatic. we do not want to traumatise our readers dun we? so well, i like this photo cause i am the tallest one there!
- insert evil laughter.
