My Miss List

For the first time in absolute ages I finally had the urge to blog last night. Predictably I got super excited about it, booted up my ever faithful (not) laptop, went on Facebook and forgot all about blogging :) 


So when I remembered about blogging this morning, predictably I got super excited about it, booted up my ever faithful (not) laptop, remembered that I wanted to watch The Social Network and forgot all about blogging :)


So now that I remember, I'd better sit down and blog already.


So here I am....blogging....and just realising that I don't know what to blog about. Damn.


Due to an extreme lack of inspiration from my awesome life now consisting of classes, tutorials, terrible cafeteria food and other such exciting things to do, I'm just gonna blog about nothing. Again.


MY MISS LIST


1. Reyhal Lisa Paul Davis - Who I miss soooo much. I have so much to tell her and so little time. I know something's got to be wrong when someone's in Form 5 and busier than me lol. Anyway we need to find some time to hang out and this coming week long holiday (thank you Malaysia for loving public holidays) is the perfect excuse :D


2. Sanjeev Kumar - Who I saw every day for about a week for like 5 seconds at a time. I have no idea what's going on in his life and it disturbs me for some reason. And he's been so busy working it is very likely to remain so until he quits his job. FML


3. Jasmine Kaur Malhi - Who I haven't seen in absolute ages and am missing insanely. Hopefully she won't be too busy for me during this coming holiday and COME SEE ME so we can catch up on months and months worth of gossip.


4. Aaron Dominic Ong Rainbow - Who has just returned to Australia with Audrey who I also am gonna miss :( Hopefully we'll do a better job keeping in touch this year. 2011 do not let me down.


5. Anna Grace Draviasingam - Who has just left for India on a holiday. Hopefully she has fun and we can hang out next week...even though I just saw her 2 days ago lol.


6. Michelle Malthew - Whose birthday just passed and whose life I have missed out on for some time now.


7. Shulaksna Annamalay - Who is sick and whom I miss terribly all of a sudden.


8. Ketheswaaran Nadarajah - Who is probably getting some sun and sand in Penang right now, hanging out with Vaisna who I haven't seen in ages. Who I also miss. 


9. Sudarshan Nair - Who is probably as bored as I am right now and whom I miss talking nonsense to along with Aaron Soh Hsien Yang.


10. Joash Ethan Selvaraj - Who has decided that watching tv and locking himself in his room is more exciting than talking to me.


11. Joellyne Carina Selvaraj - Who just left for Kemaman this morning for a posting lasting a month. And who I was too lazy to wake up and say goodbye to properly when she woke me up to say she was leaving. I'm pretty sure I hugged her in my semi comatose state though. 


I may update with a more interesting post soon. And yes I have been saying that for a while. But oh well, when interesting stuff comes along I'm more likely to not blog about it and just live it instead :P

Just trying to fill up space :D

I was going through some old files and documents today, trying to find some shit to delete and I found THIS :)


I wrote this ages ago, like before I started my degree. So yeah just thought I'd share it here.


A little bird told me I’d be lonely today;
What the little bird said came true.
What he should have mentioned was far more important;
That lonely I’d be because of you.


Why did you have to come into my life;
With the force of a dozen whirlwinds gone mad?
Why did you illuminate my darkness with your smile;
When the darkness had become my companion and friend?


Your light blinded me to all else I had known;
All I could see was you.
Emotions, thoughts were amplified when you were near;
Your closeness was the only thing that saw me through.


Your voice held me spellbound for many a night;
Your words eased my pain and stole my heart.
Silly girl that I was, I fell in love;
The fault wasn’t mine, for you played your part.


My willing heart waited for you, even in agony;
My pride was disregarded and cast aside.
You were all that mattered, or so I told myself;
Sadly my love was not meant to abide.


You left me groping blindly in utter darkness;
You trampled on the very heart you had stolen.
The pain you took away, you multiplied by a thousand;
My spirit, my soul were neglected, hopelessly broken.


The evil pain still creeps in slowly sometimes,
Leaving me with heartache and pointless tears.
The sight of you still makes my broken heart pound;
The sound of your voice still vanquishes my old fears.


For the shelter of your arms I crave in silence;
For the comfort in your words I long.
For the sight of you walking to me with that lopsided smile
I’d neglect the difference between right and wrong.


So why, little bird, did you tell me not
That he would not hesitate my heart to shatter?
That a piece of it will now and always remain in his hand
And if I attempted to move on, it wouldn’t matter?

I'm so jealous

Today was the day of our impromptu speeches for Public Speaking. I've been feeling a little queasy about it so I was looking forward to getting it over with. But guess what?


I didn't get to do mine today :S


How much does that suck? Sudhan got to do his though. Miss Kiran was soooo happy. She called him a super speaker and said that he's the best impromptu speaker she'd ever heard. Wow. So yeah. No pressure.


His topic was retrenchment :S Yikes. He was talking about how his dad got retrenched and how it affected his family. After his awesome speech was over, he came and said "Thank God my dad got retrenched". LOL


I don't know what I would have done if I had gotten that topic. So yeah, thank goodness his dad got retrenched hehe. So my speech will be next Tuesday. In front of the entire lecture class instead of the tutorial class. Thanks a lot Miss Kiran. No added pressure at all. I'm not gonna stop talking for the next few days :S


Anyway I was practicing with Sudhan today and it wasn't so bad. But it wasn't awesome :( My speaker savvy has gone missing for the moment. I'm hoping I recover it in time for my impromptu speech :S


Speaking of speeches, my topic for my persuasive speech got shot down. Damn. I was looking forward to it too. So now I have no clue what I'm gonna do for the persuasive speech and the outline is due next Wednesday. Awesome shit. For some reason, the only topic that comes to mind is S&M. Hehe not too sure that would go down too well with the lecturer. She already shot down Aaron's topic of Pornography as an Art Form :P So yeah, S&M, I don't think so.


Maybe I should talk about tv shows. Since that's all I've been very up to date with :) Hey I could talk about Criminal Minds. But what to persuade people about? :S


Finding a topic is getting harder than I thought. Anyway, I did promise to update my blog but not to this level of boring shit assness. Oh well, hopefully something more interesting comes along soon :)

What to do, what to do?

I'm loving my semester so far :)


Why, you ask? Well I happen to be taking only ONE subject. This subject happens to be everything I need to right now, namely relaxation. It is called Public Speaking and Oral Presentation. Too good to be true? Wait til you hear the rest. NO FINALS??? Noooooooooo........


So yeah. I'm free as a bird to do whatever I please and guess what?


I'm bored :S


Lol I really need something to do. I have nothing much to study and the only thing I could prepare for at the moment is a persuasive speech I have to give next week. And yeah it may sound a little soon but it's a short semester, everything comes too soon. 


Just 7 weeks of doing some shit in Public Speaking and I'm free. I don't need study break, I don't have finals. Wow. Too much free time. At least carolling is coming though :)


Speaking of which, Michael will be in charge of carolling this year. That's right, the very same Michael Cowling studying in Australia. He'll be back in November though. Hasn't given us much time to miss him lol. He's been coming up as though travelling from JB instead of Australia. So yeah, he's got plans. We're trying to rope in all the young people so we the older bunch don't end up syok-ing sendiri and yelling ourselves hoarse so we can be heard. 


Musicians are scarce though. So far we've only got Joash and Keith to play the guitar. Managed to convince Lisa to try and brush up with her playing so she can at least stand in when they're tired or whatever. Sudhan seemed very enthusiastic when I asked him if he could help out a little with the guitar playing. So all I need to do is constantly nag these 2 monkeys to practice, practice, practice. Awesome, I get the mom job again :P It seems Nygel can play the bongos. YES!! New blood :) Other than that, no sound. Which is pretty sad but when has that ever stopped us? :D


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, when we went for Patrick's brother's wedding on Saturday I saw this small girl (whose name was my middle name :o) dancing and it really had me itching to do a dance for church. It's been so looooooong. Of course I haven't forgotten the headaches and knocking of heads on walls to get things done. But still, it would be so fun. If only the Christmas Party was a sure thing we could start planning but it seems the road is strewn with obstacles yet. Sigh.... It would still be fun though :D Would be nice to see all these macho obsessed guys start shaking their hips doing the girls steps again. Although at the time it would definitely piss me off that they're practicing the girls stuff more than their own. And telling the girls that the guys steps are shit easy and we're the ones who have to do all the work. Lol organising the dances (not to mention the dancers) were always a headache, but a fun one :P


Other than that I suppose there has been no news. 
G has left for Kampar :( 
Mom's birthday is approaching :)
My birthday is...still far away but approaching :) 
Qades is at industrial training so I haven't seen him in ages :( 
Diwali is approaching :) 
Jasmine became the smartest friend I have :) 
The Suicidal Rejects were formed :P


So yeah. Til next time :)

Trip to PD

The folks wanted to take us out on a holiday cause its been some time since we all just went somewhere for fun without it being Christmas or a prayer meeting in Taiping. Which is quite depressing now that I think about it LOL.


So anyway, this trip to PD could not have come at a better time seeing as I had 3 tests last week and another one on Monday :S I hope no one else is unlucky enough to feel my pain :)


So we left KL right after my test on SATURDAY (:@ curse UTAR) and arrived at Glory Beach Resort way before check in time. We were lucky though, our room was ready and we got to go in. First impression was good. Then we reached the room..


The 'kids' (as we're still known, even though we've all been officially over 18 since Joash's birthday last month) room was so small that sis, Joash and me could barely stand in it at the same time. There wasn't even any floor space for a mattress :S And the shower was so tiny that I would have knocked my shoulder or elbow into something if I attempted to move. Well that was still excusable, its not like we were gonna be spending too much time indoors anyway.


So Joash and me got all excited to check out the beach and immediately garbed up and ran out with sis.


Utter disappointment.


There was dirt all over the beach. It came from the water :S We tried to ignore it and stared at the horizon....where we saw an oil rig and lots of huge ass boats :S We walked further down the beach in an effort to ditch the dirt...the dirt came with us :S


At this point I started taking photos and the development around us kinda ruined most of em lol

You can just see the oil rig and huge ass ships in the distance :P And the plastic bag on the beach obviously :)

These 2 photos would have been so nice if there wasn't a stupid building there :@

And these 2 would look so nice if we were walking on a nice beach :(

I never thought I'd say this, but thank goodness for Dad's Selangor Club membership!! They're affiliated to the Yacht Club in PD which has an awesome beach and pretty great food. The Yacht Club saved our trip I'm telling you..


We spent most of our time there after the disastrous beach at the not so glorious Glory Beach Resort. Did I mention that the pool was green by the way? And yet people were gladly swimming and playing around in there :S The family and I were deeply disturbed at everyone's apparent lack of hygienic concerns.


Which is why the photos of the pool are all not in colour ;)

Dad looked like he was surveying the place for future purchase :P
And yes, that's the green pool :S

We had a good time at the Yacht Club :) Went for a dip, had our showers and eventually had dinner there. The showers there are glorious, you just have to stand there and its like a hot water massage :)


This was when we were all having tea after a nice dip in clean water off a clean beach :)

















We had a nice long dinner and then went back to "Glory" Beach Resort and pretty much just crashed after a nice lazy day.

It was country mix night, musicwise so Mom and Dad had fun :)

Check out the SIZE of the plate

Next day we just couldn't wait to get outta there so we checked out early. We took our time waking up and stuff though. We were just way ahead of checkout time. I'm sure we had no regrets when we walked by the green pool and the changing room that reeked of the garbage collecting next to it *shudder*


So we had breakfast at the Yacht Club obviously. Oh something interesting happened after we finished breakfast and we were just sitting around talking and lazing.


I was watching these 2 Indian kids playing at the playground. They looked like they were having a good time and I was reliving my childhood in my mind and being all serene and at peace. Then these 2 foreign kids came along and they wanted to play on the swings. The Indian kids were playing on the slides and sharing the playground shouldn't have been an issue. I mean come on, there were four of them and they were all tiny :)


Next thing I know, these Indian kids turn into thugs and are chasing the foreign kids away :S


I got a little irritated I guess cause I can't stand this typical indian behaviour. So I suddenly became a champion of children's rights and decided to go over there and help them out. When I asked the 2 foreign kids if they wanted to play on the swings, they both gave me the most adorable puppy dog faces and nodded. So I told them to go ahead and I would sit close by and make sure the Indian kids didn't bother them.


It was hilarious when this small little Indian boy tried to intimidate me when I told them to let the foreign kids play on the swings :P


After that when we were leaving the little foreign girl waved at me and smiled and I thought that was really sweet of her :)


So after a relaxing morning at the beach and a lazy lunch, we headed back for KL. Back to tests and stress and studying...


But I'm glad we had that weekend away. It was especially nice since nobody was getting on anyone's case, we all just wanted to relax and have a good time. So yeah, it was great :D

Michael's Farewell

Yes I know Michael's farewell was last week and I'm a little late with this post but better late than never :)


It was fun to plan a surprise party after so long. Stressful but fun :) We were given a golden opportunity when Michael had to cancel our karaoke outing which was supposed to be his farewell. So me, my sister and Joash were trying to plan another outing or something special we could do for him. Shockingly, Mom of all people was the one who suggested we have a party here at our house. We all got crazily excited...ok fine I got crazily excited and we only had about a week to throw everything together. So sis called Auntie Jennifer who also was very enthusiastic about it. Then we invited people and all.


So on Friday suddenly people are telling me they're gonna be late and all. I was panicking cause I was thinking, oh damn is anyone gonna be here for the 'surprise' part? :S


So sis made an emergency call to Auntie Jennifer to stall Michael for another half an hour or so. Thankfully they hadn't left the house and Auntie Jennifer said no problem. So there were people arriving and we ordered the pizza then just sat around making a lot of noise waiting for Michael to get there. Hannah and Beth were REALLY excited that they could be up late so they spent their night being way too excited about everything lol.


Then when Michael finally got here with his family, CRISIS!! The pizza got here at EXACTLY THE SAME TIME :S


So Auntie Judi said she'd get the pizza cause there's no reason she can't get pizzas on a Friday night. And there were like 4 or 5 pizzas there lol. So Mom went downstairs to let them in. And it seems Auntie Jennifer also panicked when she saw the pizzas so she created some bull about Auntie Judi must be having bible study and the pizza was for them hehe.


Then when Michael came up we were all like crazy excited. He took AGES to take off his shoes all so we almost yelled SURPRISE when Auntie Jennifer walked in. Luckily we managed to control ourselves. Then when Michael walked in we all finally got to yell SURPRISE!!!


And there was zero expression on his face.


LOL


He took a few moments to stare blankly at us then he suddenly regained his senses and went "............oh?"


Then he asked us what this is and we were all laughing and telling him that its his farewell party and he was pleasantly surprised I hope. Well he was surprised anyway :)


The rest of the party went pretty smoothly. Everyone was having fun and we watched Brazil versus Holland which was the entertainment. Brazil's performance was the entertainment I mean :)


So yeah it was good. Its been a while since we had a party at our place. And we got to do something for Michael before he left so that was nice.


Anyway he left for Australia on Tuesday. So he's probably settling in now. And we're all gonna miss him I'm sure. Auntie Jennifer in particular was pretty emotional about it :) Oh well his mommy what...


Anyway the photos unfortunately are with sis so I might post some if I'm semangated enough later :)


For now, I'm glad we got to say goodbye to Michael..for a couple of months at least :) He'll be back for Christmas. So we'll be looking forward to his return :) Til you get back here, g'day mate :P

My life is so happening

Well I'm not saying that my life has gotten rid of its lifelessness but I definitely see an improvement :)

I've been missing Shu lately. Sure we have classes together and we're together most of the time but we're so busy that we just don't have that much time to talk or anything. Of course things with Anna are the worst. I barely see her at all. Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays we have ONE class together. Okay it doesn't sound that bad I admit but I'm used to being in the same classes ALL the time :(
So to my two darlings, I miss you guys and though keeping busy means we're studying hard, it still kinda sucks hehe.

Been looking forward to meeting up with Michelle too. She's been back from the UK for a while now and I haven't met her in ages. We were just texting the other day when we were watching England versus Germany.

Speaking of which...joke of a match much?? Damn if I hadn't been feeling sorry for David Beckham (who suddenly looked pretty cute in his suit all *drool*) I would most definitely have been laughing my ass off. It was almost as entertaining as Robert Green :)

I was a little sad when South Korea got booted out though. They're like the ultimate underdog team I was rooting for. I do admit I have a soft spot for them since the 2002 World Cup days. Damn when they beat Turkey...that was precious man :D I mean who had even heard of the South Korean football team before that? Park Ji Sung was but another one of the adorably boyish looking faces on the street. So yeah, I totally loved that :)

Oh and obviously I was sad that Spain chased off Portugal. But oh well, I knew they needed a miracle to win. So now I only have Germany left and they're going up against Spain. So yeah, maybe another miracle? After all what's the World Cup without Lukas Podolski to ogle over? :)

Aaaaaaaaaaanyway enough of World Cup drama.

Michael will be leaving soon for Australia. With Aaron already gone and Michael headed out to join him, I can only wonder who's gonna be next :( I'm definitely gonna miss him. There is NO ONE quite like Michael Cowling. So this coming Sunday will be his last day in church before he leaves. I know it won't get emotional or anything. It'll probably just hit me after he leaves :S

So today was my calculus test. I thought I did so well and I was so pleased with myself until I got outta the hall and started discussing the paper with Sudhan aka Larry and Shalini and Saravanan. But that was just for the first question so I'm hoping the other 3 questions help to pull up my marks. Fingers crossed!!

So after that we all walked IN THE RAIN from S block to the cafeteria. Which is pretty far in the rain by the way. I'm never sharing an umbrella with Sudhan ever again. And I'm getting him one for his next birthday :P

Anyway we were all just sitting in the cafeteria and wasting time when Saravanan told us to get off our asses cause there was pizza at the Sports Club AGM. I was gonna leave soon so I stayed where I was but eventually the lure of free pizza was too much for me :) After that we went for the Arts & Crafts AGM and AGAIN there was the tempting waft of pizza. I was gonna run home away from the temptation of MORE pizza at the Asian Cultural Society AGM but apparently my name's already on their show my face :S

All in all I had 6 freaking slices of pizza. No dinner for me today :P

Oh I have a Prob and Stats test coming up on Saturday. I'd better get down to studying already. Will hopefully have more interesting updates soon when my life gets more happening with tests every week hehe.

Keep enjoying the World Cup people :D:D Forget about homework and tests and tutorials, they come about all the time, unlike the once in four years of the World Cup. And no you may not quote me on that :)
