Celebrations are in order!..it's been a hectic two weeks but top of my updates is my Graduation Day on the 22nd of May!

Thursday was a blast, despite the sweltering heat and i'm more than happy to say that the fun I had in my 3 years at TP culminated in a very very exciting and unforgettable graduation ceremony. Honestly, for all the seriousness people take the Law cohort for, we should be proud that we were the most uncivilised, uncouth, unkept bunch of homosapiens/neanderthals to ever grace such a solemn occasion!

Thank the heavens seating was allotted, if not i think the future law cohorts would be banned from attending graduation. But no worries cause it was still extremely fun sitting with ryan, radah, vickie and the whole lot, all of us creating our own fun and always passig stupid comments.

The best part of the ceremony, no doubt was when the whole cohort stood up and gave a standing ovation to our top 3 students, Wei Loong, Ting Ni and of course my dear Stephanie Koh Wan Ling. We were making such a commotion, it kind of reminded me of the monkey's at Lower Pierce reservoir when they want food..heh..

Post graduation photo-taking was hectic and extremely tiring.It didn't help that our gowns were thick and uncomfortable but I must admit though, that i felt a certain sense of pride as i pranced around in my gown, knowing that I am now a proud gradguate of Temasek Polytechnic, Diploma in Law and Management. The photos are, to say the least, unglamorous. But hey, it's the memories that count and i can safely and proudly say that the law cohort of 2008 has made it, ugliness and all!

I knew Law was what i wanted to pursue and it was just a matter of the route i chose to take. I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason and when i did not do well for my "O"-levels (20 points- damn you Accounts and Tamil) i knew that i was going to go to a poly, albeit reluctantly but also knew that the reason i chose this route would show itself in retrospect and that i should just keep an open mind. Yes, I was reluctant to take this route, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions i have ever made. I got to experience and learn in more depth the Law, which in turn made me more passionate about it. And as i embarked on this route it also started to make more sense that i spend 3 years attaining a diploma in a specialised field then spend 2 years obtaining a general certificate. What's more, I know for a fact that had i done my A-levels, I would have majorly fucked it up, and not been able to do Law anyway.

Majorly fucked it up because of how the JC curriculum is centered on rogue learning and all roundedness, which, in my most humble opinion is complete rubbish since there is no point in general learning if you are going to have to specialise in University anyway. The cirriculum in Poly really suited me and i found myself starting to show results, since in poly its all about self-leanring and independence. It allowed me a very comfortable pace with which to work with and with which I could excel. The lecturers, oh good god, the law lecturers are just the most quirky bunch of teachers there are but i shan't go into the details, really, out of my own concern for your health since your heart might just pulpitate from all the nonsense you'd have to hear about them.

I have been very blessed because a huge part of what made TP fun were my friends, you know who you are, but special mention would go to Stephanie Koh Wan Ling, Ryan Tan Ze Wei, Ashwin Ganapathy and Shri Mato Kotwani for I know that these 3 years would not have been half as fun had you guys not been in it. I LOVE YOU GUYS! =)

All in all, it's been the best 3 years, and i'm so glad i've gotten to experience such fun. Now, with god's grace, i can be on my way to pursuing my 11-year old dream of becoming a lawyer, swayed of course by shows like The Practice and Ally Mcbeal.

Pictures soon.

The Square root 3

2008-05-05T21:58:00.002+08:00

Some peolple say this is lame but I say this is sweet. In a very Geeky, Chess-Club president kind of way. heh.

I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark!
What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

it fits, perfectly

"Fallen"

Heaven bend to take my hand

And lead me through the fire

Be the long awaited answer

To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best

But somewhere along the way

I got caught up in all there was to offer

And the cost was so much more than I could bear

We all begin with good intent

Love was raw and young

We believed that we could change ourselves

THe past could be undone

But we carry on our backs the burden

Time always reveals

In the lonely light of morning

In the wound that would not heal

It's the bitter taste of losing everything

That I've held so dear.

I spoke to my grandmother yesterday. We hardly ever have conversations nowadays, so yesterday was really quite interesting.

We spoke mostly about family, and more precisely, about my grandfather.

It's been 3 years since his death and yet sometimes, when I catch myself thinking the most random thoughts, he always drifts into my mind. I catch myself thinking about him and keep replaying that last Thursday I saw him alive. Morbid, I know, but these are thoughts I can't help. They drift in and out my mind like a mist, momentarily paralyzing all other thoughts that run through my mind.

So much has happened in the span of 3 years and I sometimes ask God why he couldn't have left him on Earth just a bit longer to at least experience the immense joy of these events. Everything happens for a reason, i suppose.

You know, the one thing I have never been able to fathom is how we always cry at funerals. Here's me being a tad bit cynical, but sometimes, all that crying really seems quite excessive and unneecassary. I mean why do we cry? Sure the deceseased was someone dearly loved by all and will sorely be missed since now, all that remains of this person are memories. I can understand that we cry because the person is no longer a physical manifestation of his soul, and as such nothing solid remains of him.

But we must draw the line somewhere, no? At my Grandfathers funeral, all the crying from my relatives, seemed at times, to be a bit forced or, to put it more appropriately, cued. When they arrived at his house, everyone was wailing. All that wailing stopped when food was served ( I guess all that crying must have given them ferocious appetites and ,more energy) because they continued their performance right after eating. Then when his body was being put into the casket van and his final rights were being performed the soft sobs suddenly became * cue crying sequence*, ear-piercing wails, and everyone ( I kid you not) appeared to be as if in a trance.

Relatives who before never liked my grandfather or who hardly ever knew him were all suddenly talking about him as if he were a great sage. I found,and still find this very very hypocritical.I remember this one relative, my dad's cousin, who never really got along with my grandfather and who my grandfather quite disliked.She is this short looking runt of an object (you can tell, that I myself am not very fond of her) who was extremely disrespectful during the funeral.

Disrespectful not in a," I don't give a shit about this man" kind of way but rather in a "Let me show myself as someone who uncle Rajoo doted on a lot" kind of way. She was so fake and insincere that I'm sure my grandfather must have turned in his grave. I remember when she first came into the house. She was dressed all in white and almost lunged at my grandmother like some crazed lunatic, trying to give her a hug ( and the Oscar goes to..).then when the final rights were going to be performed, and the priest asked for only his grandchildren to come forward to pay their last respects, that Object pushed her daughter forward to take part in the ritual,and mind you, her daughter is my grandfathers grandNIECE. Thank god the priest gave her a good piece of his mind.

Then when everyone was on their way to the crematorium, the Fatso literally yanked my grandmother into her car so she could be the one to drive my grandmother there. And when my grandfathers coffin was being rolled out into the furnace, suprise suprise, Miss Best Actress decided to put up a final, Vasantham Central worthy, performance.

I abhore people like that. I mean if you didn't like the deceseased, it's fine.It's only human to have such emotions.But at least have the courage to stand by what you feel.

It's the same blinking concept for living persons too.

Hais..the more i think about all this, the more frustrated i feel. I shoudn't be feelng like this.damn.

My darling fucking mother has suceeded at pissing the shit out of me.

Next time remind me not to stay at home, because it is obviously a fucking waste of my life.

There is no point staying at home and having to put up with a mother who is evidently BLIND to how annoyingly spoilt my youngest sister is.

She doesn't know how much she's driving her other children away.

Lets's see if your darling youngest daughter remains the "innocent" way she does.

Fucking blind and stupid.

She obviously wants a reaction from you and you so willingly give it to her.

YOU need to go back to work now, because you're wasting your time at home. Please.

DON'T STAY AT HOME.

ok so...

I know I've been on this very long hiatus. I know that I have so much to blog about and so much more to be thankful for. I know that I should probably be blogging about all of this since it has formed such a substantial part of the past 3 odd months but right now, I really can't help but blog about how upset I feel.

Sometimes you really really upset me. I feel this way everytime the topic about my education comes up and as I'm typing this I can't help but try and hold back tears because I don't want you to see me in such a pathetic state.

Everytime we talk about my grades or my education, you make me feel so useless. You make me feel like such a bum. Like someone who is bent on letting you down.You compare me to our neighbours and to all your friends children always emphasising how well they are doing. When I was in secondary school, you compared me to Alvin (neighbour), always pointing out which JC he got into and how well he did for his O-levels and always asking me why I couldn't do you as proud as he did his parents proud.

When I was in Poly, I always had to think twice before I told you my grades. In year one, i remember during the seconed semester how happy I felt attaining all B+'s and pulling my GPA up from a 2.38 to a 3.0. I remember msging you my results only to have you reply me asking me why I did not attain any A's. I was so happy up until that moment because you made me feel like I had nothing to be proud or happy about.

It was the same thing all other semesters and I found myself hiding my grades from you unless I acheived an A for something. I guess I felt that if I did not tell you anything then you would not be dissapointed in me-not that my grades were bad(mostly B's and B+'s), just not to your expectations-and I would at least be content with the grades I had achieved. I mean I maintained a steady GPA all my semesters in TP but everytime I brought that up, you would still insist that it wasn't good enough for me to get into NUS or SMU.

And so yesterday, after 5 semesters of trying to bring my GPA up, i finally did, scoring the best grades i ever have. 3 A's and 2 B+'s. I was screaming when i got my grades, running up and down the house like a mad woman. I called you up and you seemed too pre-occupied to care. Then today, you hurt me so much with what you said and again suceeded at making me feel like I had nothing to be happy or proud about. All of a sudden, my grades seemed to fade in comparison to Stephanie's and all those other DHL students and mind you I was not comparing grades with anyone up until what you said.

The only thing you could think about was for me to start applying to local uni's since i had already gotten all my results. Not only that, you started comparing me to your friends' children who have all already entered uni's and are on their way to getting their degrees, saying how pround they are making their parents. Don't you have faith in me? Do I seem like a daughter who is inclined on letting her parents down? Are you afraid I won't want to go to a uni? or that I am not trying hard enough? What are you afraid of?

I am so so very tired of trying to figure this one out because it seems that everything I do just doesn't seem to be good enough for you or doesn't seem to meet your expectations.

I really don't know what to think anymore,mummy.

of secularism and Chirstmas

2007-12-23T00:27:00.000+08:00

I’ve been meaning to pen my thoughts about this for quite sometime.

Every year, when Christmas comes around, especially when it’s nearing the week of Christmas, I find myself becoming increasingly agitated. Increasingly agitated at how secular people are making this holiday. Increasingly agitated because slowly, the meaning of Christmas is being lost in all the commercial hoopla caused by generous spenders who have decided to squander their year-end bonuses on meaningless gifts that will be given away to some needy charity by the end of January.

My agitation has never been greater then now as I sit on my porch typing this whilst my neighbours throw a Christmas party for their mainland China friends, who by the way, I bet, don’t know the significance of a Christmas tree and have never understood why people exchange Christmas presents.
The meaning behind Christmas day is a religious one. It is the day our saviour, Jesus Christ was born. His birth marks the start of a religious journey that ultimately ends in his dying for our sins. It is not a day for superficial musings and meaningless gander into who got the coolest present and who did not.

I can see why this is so, though. So many people in this country are confused with race and religion and I dare say that it is our Chinese citizens that make up the majority of this confusion. FYI, (I don’t know bout CNY) but Deepavali, Hari Raya and Christmas are all RELIGIOUS festivals. Therefore, just because I am Indian, does not mean I celebrate Deepavali. Deepavali is celebrated by Hindus and just because majority of us Indians are Hindus, does not mean that the minority who are not Hindus celebrate this religious festival. I find this very disrespectful to the religion.
Similarly, Christmas is celebrated by Christians. Therefore you don’t have to be a certain race to celebrate this, but yes, you must be a certain religion.

Because of this race-specific stereotyping of religious festivals, [Indians = Deepavali], [Malay = Hari Raya], [Chinese = CNY], you find that when Christmas comes around, no race is linked to it (except Eurasians but they are a minority) and all of a sudden it becomes a celebration free for all to enjoy and because not everyone knows why we celebrate Christmas, what we see on TV is suddenly being imitated, making this celebration superficial and meaningless.

Now don’t get me wrong. You can celebrate the holidays but for Christ’s sake, if you don’t know the significance of Christmas or the symbolisms related to how we celebrate it, don’t go putting up a Christmas tree and for heaven’s sake, don’t play Christmas carols that sing about the birth of Christ. Playing songs like “O Holy Night” and “When Christ is Born” is disrespectful and makes a mockery of my religion and of my god (I know I sound a tad fanatical). Play Jingle Bells or Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer for all I care because these songs sing about the Holiday season.

I guess all I want is for people to be less ignorant and more aware.

12 weeks-52 days-468 Hours

2007-11-30T10:22:00.000+08:00

I am feeling very (indescribable). My last week at TRC has been a sentimental one. I feel excited for school yet sad that I have to leave the place I have spent 3 months in. I still remember vividly my first day at TRC. I was a nervous wreck. The nervousness however, quickly faded as I was introduced to the hilarious lawyers and friendly staff. I knew then that I was not going to have any problems fitting in.

As I look through my reflections, I am aware and proud of how much I’ve grown as a person. I have become more passionate about Law and am more confident with myself. I strongly believe this would not have been possible had I not come to TRC. I started off on my internship unsure and anxious for the experience to be over but am leaving wishing this experience did not have to come to an end so soon. I have thoroughly enjoyed myself at TRC and have learnt and absorbed a tremendous amount of things. I have learnt things that I never I imagined I would learn in a span of 3 months.

Of course all this would not have been possible had it not been for the constant guidance of my mentor, Mr. Eusuff. Through him, I learnt aspects of the law that cannot be found in any textbook. I learnt compassion, passion, patience and diligence.

These values, I know, will not leave me at the end of my internship. Rather, it will carry on with me for as long as I hold that passion for the law. Mr. Eusuff has been a wonderful teacher, always making the time and effort to catch up with me and keep me updated on my progress. I’m grateful for that.

I remember being asked during my interview to write down what I wanted to achieve from my internship at TRC. I remember thinking hard about it and writing this; “ I want to come out of this internship certain that law is what I want to pursue as a career.” With all that I have experienced at TRC, I cannot imagine doing anything else.

The work I was given was never too overwhelming. Some assignments were interesting (i.e.: drafting, research) and some were just plain mundane (i.e.: tabbing). I have no complains though because everything I have done has been a learning experience for me. It has taught me something, no matter how small or simple the lesson was.

I am thankful that I was given the opportunity to handle a variety of files all pertaining to different aspects of the law. This has truly expanded my knowledge and not restricted it in anyway. I was able to learn more about the working environment in a law firm and was also able to experience the interactions between lawyers and secretaries. I can only hope that one day, I will behalf as passionate and skilled as they are.

I must admit, however, that the practice of law is nothing like what is portrayed on television. It is not as prestigious and glamorous as what is seen on television. Dramas like “The Practice” and “Boston Legal” can be very persuasive.

They make the practice of law seem effortless and classy when in reality, a lot of hard work and effort is put in by the lawyers and the secretaries.
A lot of sacrifice and patience is required for the practice of law. In my view, the practice of law is hardly a profession. It is a vocation that one must be prepared to accept. After my experience here at TRC, I am willing to accept this vocation and have no regrets deciding to do law.

Lastly, I must thank my Company officer, Miss Chua for always ensuring that I was ok and comfortable during my internship. Everyone at TRC has made this experience a memorable one and I am thankful.:)

Woke up early this morning,
Made my coffee like I always do.
Then it hit me from nowhere,
Everything I feel about me and you.

Guess that I'm just falling
Deeper into something I've never known.
But the way that I'm feeling,
Makes me realize that it can't be wrong.
You're love's like a summer rain,
Washing my doubts away.

Seven days and seven nights of thunder,
The waters rising and I'm slipping under.
I think I fell in love with the 8th world wonder.

December is arriving!

It's been awhile now.

2007-10-18T17:23:00.000+08:00

OOOtay!..ok. So it's been ages. A lot of things have happened during this period of "ages."

I think I'm finally settled. I feel at ease with myself and my life. It's never been better actually.
It's scary though, this new feeling of ease. I've never really been settled. I guess for different people, life is different things. I've always seen myself as some what of a gypsy. Just going with the diffrent phases life throws me. But it seems different now.Now it seems like I don't want to move with life. Now it seems like I want to stay in the now. Bad..tsk,tsk. Bad.
Staying in the now for too long can never be a good thing,can it?

I am happy with so many things. My friends,family, loved ones, school,grades,internship. All these things, and for that,I am grateful. It's not been like this for a long while.I guess, you could say, i have grown to understand myself on a much deeper, more personal level for me to appreciate all this. No wonder I want to stay. I am content.And I haven't been content in a while.

Grades were good. My class for next sem kicks AsS.

Internship has been interesting.

Going overseas is a very exciting, yet scary thing. Thank god I have another year. Australia it is. Monash I hope.

I must, I must, I must, I must, I must go down to IDP to talk to the advisors there. Pronto!!!!

Alas, the exams have ended and i'm not in the least bit optimistic about the results.

Company Law was the worst. I spent a good half an hour trying to compose myself as Ms Ng came round checking our statutes, tearing out the pages we couldn't use. I nearly died of heart pulpitations as she came round to check mine.

At first i thought the paper went well. I answered all the questions and i answered them to the best i could,until i got home and checked the answers with the lecture notes. I think i'm looking at a comfortable 51/100 and that coupled with the C+ i've already earned for course work should guarentee me a big fucking D.

Excellent.

Oh and who could forget Company Partnership Accounts and the infamous question EIGHT? I know I had an absolute ball cracking my brains for a good 45 mins trying to figure that one out. But hey, what's 18 marks? what's the worst that could happen besides falling a grade or 2?

Peachy.

I cannot wait for internship to start. I'm hoping it would be the breath of fresh air i so badly need right now.

This is scary. I think i have finally,albeit reluctantly,come to the realisation that I have gained a tremendous amount of weight. It is no longer funny. It is disturbing.

And while I am glad I have finally faced the truth, and can now start working on loosing the weight, I am dissapointed in myself. How have I managed to let myself slip so far? Where was the dicipline? where was the strength and motivation? where was the love for MY body?

Loosing weight is hardly about diets or detox's. It's about changing your lifestyle and I am going to change mine.

It took a look at some old photos for me to realise what I am and more importantly, what I was,

and I like what I was.

Not what I am.

Law games was undeniably fun. It was the BEST law games ever. Team Meow Won!!..kudos to our star players Ash,for his speed and agility, Leon for his skill at blocking the ball and Austin for his skill at catching the ball!. The girls were Rough!!..great job guys!

The final game was between team Meow (the cool ones) and Optimus Prime (no comments)...hahaa..kk JOKE ah..

The game was fucking intense. But it helped that team optimus prime were good sports..It was fucking fun playing with Shep and all cause they were never for a moment serious at all..

SO anyway...photos...and pls ah, we are ALLOWED to look unglamourous!

you can't take a picture unless it's already gone.

change!

2007-06-27T21:15:00.000+08:00

Year One:

okay, this is a really bad picture!

Senior Year:

Ok,so maybe this slightly better,only SLIGHTLY!

We've changed so much Ryan! :)

so what will it be?

2007-06-22T15:30:00.000+08:00

So I was talking to my mother the other day about my post-diploma options.

It started casually enough. What do you want to do after poly? where do you want to go to do it? Which university are you considering?..What do you want to specialise in?..so on and so forth.

And to all questions, I thought I had an answer.

I want to get my Law Degree, I want to go the the UK,I did consider Bristol,but am now considering Leicester,I want to specialise in Family and Criminal law,but wouldn't mind going into Maritme Law either.

Then it hits me. I Can't quite place my finger on what "it" is exactly. Just a general feeling that maybe going to the UK to get my degree may not be the best of options.

But if not the UK then where? Australia? Well yes, that's a very viable possibility. But the universities in Australia offer a 4 year degree programme as compared to the 3 year programme universities in the UK offer.

But what's a year? I am certainly in no rush to get my degree.

The UK has always traditionally been the country of choice for anyone who wished to furthur their education,especially if it pertained to the study of Law,Medicine or Science.However, in recent times, we've seen this tradition slowly vanish with the availability of more educational oppurtunities in Australia.

Coupled with this availability is the -almost similar to Singapore- standard of living and cost of expenses, which would lessen the financial strain on the parents.

I've also heard that the environment Down Under is less dreary and depressing as compared to the UK. Now, I myself have only been to the UK and to make a comparison between the two would do me more then an injustice.

So what will it be? The United Kingdom, that which is steeped in tradition? or Australia, that which is maturing?

What would it be kind sir? or should I be more inclined to say mate?..hahaa...

...till next time fellas....catch you on the flipside..=)

how?

2007-06-19T12:14:00.000+08:00

School in a week!..well in 5 days to be exact!...omgggg..and what have I done over the holidays? nth. Jackshit.I have yet to revise my accounts and Civil Pro and i have yet to draft my Civ Pro assignment...Good God!..

And the scary part is i cannot bring myself to studying. I feel like it's burnout but i hope it's not.
I don't want to be suffering from burout now,when i'm so close to graduating.I should be performing at my peak. I really need to get serious and i need motivation.

I guess somtimes you need to start working on something before the motivation comes.
If that's the case, I need the strength to push myself.

Well on a lighter note, uncle's engagement was yesterday.The food was good,the weather was not. The heat was unbearable. And the fact that i was wearing a saree didn't help much either. Yesterday was the first and last time i will EVER wear a saree EVER!!!

Thank god i won't have to go through this when i get married...

.....till next time fellas...catch you on the flipside..=)

to choose or not to choose? that is the question

2007-06-11T11:44:00.000+08:00

Ok.

So i got offered a position at Drew & Napier LLC for my internship.

I also got offered a position at Tan Rajah & Cheah.

And now i don't know which to choose.

I know it should be a no-brainer.Everyone i've spoken to has supported my decision on the former.

"Drew& Napier lah,duh!..hello it's one of Singapore's leading firms. You know how good it will look on your Uni applications?"

Yes I do. But at the same time I really like Tan Rajah & Cheah.I know it might not be the biggest or most well known of firms but it's still something that really appeals to me.

As much as an internship is what it is-you do the same thing which ever the firm-it still matters where you go to because a bigger more well known firm will certainly stand out against a smaller less known one which in turn would probably open more doors for you.

I am someone who assimilates herself very quickly into the environment around her.When i went for the interviews at both firms, it was the environment at Tan Rajah & Cheah that made me feel more comfortable and at ease.The interviewer too seemed more friendly.

I know all these factors might seem small and unimportant to a 3rd party reading this. I know I would probably feel the same way too if I were the 3rd party,especially with the big corporate appeal Drew has on potential lawyers-to-be.

But is this what I really want?-The corporate appeal? or do I want the experience that big firms are sometimes not able to provide?. I guess in short I wouldn't want to intern at a big firm and come out of my internship with little experience,something which a smaller firm is more inclined to provide.

I will be working by myself at Tan Rajah & Cheah as compared to the 2 more i'll be working with at Drew. I am unsure if this will work to my advantage or disadvantage.

What I do know is,whichever firm i decide to choose and whatever comes out from that decision will happen for a reason.The reason, my dear readers might not be clear to me now but I know in retrospect,it will show itself and when it does I know it would have taught me something. Good or bad, It would have taught me something.

I have till 4pm to decide. That gives me 3 and a half hours.

.....till next time fellas..catch you on the flipside..=)

It's about time =)

2007-06-11T11:39:00.000+08:00

MY SILVER LINING HAS SHOWN ITSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2007-06-04T23:39:00.001+08:00

Accounts today was soo beyond fucked.I never tought accounts was going to be a problem but i'm starting to take that back.

I really can't wait for the holidays. I'm feeling so unmotivated,uninvolved,unenthusiastic and all the other "un"s you could possibly think of.

I need motivation. I need focus. I need guidance. I need inspiration.

..till next time fellas...catch you on the flipside..=)

how true

2007-05-31T16:57:00.000+08:00

"Live And Learn"

I came home in the morning

And everything was gone

Oh what have I done

I dropped dead in the hallway

Cursing the dawn

Oh come on sun

Why must I burn

I’m just trying to learn

I stared into the light

To kill some of my pain

It was all in vain

Cause no senses remain

But an ache in my body

And regret on my mind

But I’ll be fine

Cause I live and I learn

Yes I live and I learn

If you live you will learn

I live and I learn

Got kicked in the head

So I started a fight

Cause I knew I was right

But I learned I was wrong

I remember a slaughter

I remember I fought

For the money I brought

I got blistered and burned

And lost what I earned

But I live and I learn

Yes I live and I learn

I got, I got it now

She’s got, She’s got it now

I came to one a corner

With some help from a man and goddamn

I don’t seem to have learned

That a lady in need is guilty indeed

So I paid and got laid in return

And I don’t know what I’ve learned

Well you get what you give

And hell yes I lived

But if you live as you learn

I don’t think I’d be learned

Oh with the sun in my eyes

Surprise, I’m living a life

But I don’t seem to learn

No I don’t think I can learn

how true

the silver lining

2007-05-25T22:24:00.000+08:00

Today was really fucked up.

I'm trying to remain optimistic.

Every cloud has a silver lining.I'm just waiting for mine to show

mothers day

2007-05-18T20:56:00.001+08:00

So Mother's day was pretty awesome this year.Met the grandparents and aunty at Raffels Hotel and pigged out on the delicious variey of food. From lobster to salmon to oyester to the mouth watering desert.YUM. dinner was seafood with dad's sie of the family at Sembawang Park. God that place is romantic.

stupid

2007-05-17T22:54:00.000+08:00

Your brains must be shoved up your arse woman. Assuming of course what i've heard is true, "thinking" is obviously something you're not very good at.

All this miscommunication is starting to confuse me. It's getting harder to tell one snake from the other. You Know who you are.

ides of march

2007-05-15T23:09:00.001+08:00

your incessant little rantings are starting to piss me off. It's about time you realise that the world does not revolve around you. Wake up and smell the coffee honey because the sooner you do,the sooner you will stop making a complete mockery of yourself.Unless of course you revel in the unwanted attention you get from this foolish,"holier than thou" way you behave. In which case,i wouldn't be half suprised.

Glory is fleeting,beware the ides of march.

hello there

2007-05-10T21:03:00.000+08:00

Why hello there..

So i thought i should probably blog about what's been up with me instead of just uploading photos.

So i'm officially a SENIOR. i feel old.and in just a few months,it's going to be the real world for me and I'm dreading it...

My class is pretty alright. Everyone's classes this semester has a mishmash of people...my class is fun lah..the subjects are ok i guess..i mean it's still too soon for me to tell..but i mean 4 subjects shouldn't be that difficult to handle right?..My tutors are pretty cool..so i'm happy.

Drama's new main comm is the bomb. I have the utmost faith in you guys. I know for a fact that all of you will definately be able to take Dramatec to new heights..i need to start going for coregroup...

So my parents are leaving for Goa in two weeks..excellent...def can't wait for tt one...

ok!...well that's pretty much me!

motivated...will update properly in due course...

...till next time fellas..catch you on the flipside..=)

been a long time coming

2007-03-23T19:23:00.000+08:00

UK in 2 days. excited.anxious.nervous.hopeful.The weather is going to be below freezing..can't wait..Definatley can't wait to check the Universities out.

Work is fun. DOME is such a chill out kinda place and the customers there are so friendly..although we do get the occasional anal retentive pricks. my collegues are nice..for the most part..guess it just takes a bit of getting used to..and the coffee there is abso-fuckin-lutely orgasmic..and i get it FREE!..yum...

results were less then satisfying.period. Family law was THE biggest fucking upset. hais.

can't wait till after the trip..be sure to upload pictures..

....till next time fellas..catch you on the flipside=)

Hooray Hoorah!

2007-03-02T23:33:00.000+08:00

The exams are over!!..lalala...so i've got about 2 weeks to enjoy myself before the results are out.I have to get a job..and fast.I've come up with a list of potential jobs to apply for..

1) That dress shop opposite Raffels City near the BreadTalk just 3 doors away from the photoshop..i really can't remember the name of the shop though...

2) Awfully Choclate near my place.

3) The gift shop at Thomson Plaza opposite the ATM or Watsons or the CD shop and

4) Ritz Apple Strudel next to Thomson Plaza.

Hais...so the exams went okay i guess....

OB was..well..a pain..lost 14 marks on a stupid freaking question based on a topic that was similiar to another topic in another chapter which i stupidly got confused over.

Accounts was okay..had it not been for my inability to calulate my freaking cash flow statement properly.

Family Law went well..for the most part..

So i'm finally going to be a Senior...senior...got that makes me sound old. I remember so vividly how it was when i was a freshie looking up ( i guess you could say) to the people who's exact same potistion i'm going to be in now...this also means i'm going to be graduating soon..out into the real world..scary....

Ideally, i want to graduate, go to the UK,get my degree,work for a bit,get married to a rich man and become a tai-tai...and if i have to,have a kid...all by the age of 35.

BUT,unfourtunately,not all of us live on ideals. Which means,i'll probably have to get my degree,slave for a long while,save up money,get married,save up even more to buy a house and then even more so i can have a kid and then even more for retirement..
So you see my dear reader, the problem or solution,which ever way you look at it,lies in the rich man...hahaa..

any takers???

...till next time fellas...catch you on the flipside..=)

hmph!

2007-02-18T01:13:00.000+08:00

I hate new blogger. Why can't we all just stick to some nice,good 'ol fashioned beta?????...raahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So anyway, exams are nearing..next week..hais....i really want to do well this sem. I really hope i do. My coursework grades are pretty ok i guess...cept Fam law.What a farking bloody waste.

MOS with the girls to welcome home Stacey was fun! as usual my ladies..when are outings together ever not?..If there's one thing bad bout MOS,it would be their R&B room,smoove..god that place is so dodgy. It was terrible trying to dance with all these disgusting guys trying to dance up against us.Like a bunch of vultures they were. YUCK. Thank god there was Gerard (ara's bf)...The Retro room was the most fun though. The music was groovy................so pictures another time...

V'day was a wash out..we had such a great day planned by the beach.Picnic and EVERYTHING!..butt..as murphy's law would have it,one of my relatives passed away. but i bet STEPHANIE KOH WAN LING had a ball of a time...thanks to mEe!!!....hmph!...

So anyway..tts basiclly my life right now. Can't wait till the exams are over.

.....till next time fellas..catch you on the flipside..=)

right now

2007-02-03T21:23:00.000+08:00

Stacey's coming back tomorrow!.. after 9 months we finally get to see our Jap exchange student. I'm really excited..i wonder whether she's changed..i hope she's not looking like those jap school girls with their high-socks, short skirts and pony-tails...she better not!.Meeting the girls tomorrow for dinner before..can't wait!

So i'm going to bangkok during the hols..haha this is so awesome..i'm going to the UK and to amazing Thailand..gonna do masssssssssiiiiiiiiivvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeee shopping..And the company is definatley going to fun..i'm just praying its safe enough to go by March..seeing as how the country is under Marshall Law and all...i just want it to be safe enough...

Studying is going well or me. Conveyancing is coming to an end.Test on monday and one more assingment and adios conveyancing.My other subjects are more or less OK..not great.OK.

So as it stand now,I'm one happy lady.

O Yes, ashwin is finally back in school..after his little dengue incident..as if he wasn't thin enough..he looks like an Ethiopian kid now..hais..

i don't miss you.just who you used to be.

school

2007-01-28T21:09:00.000+08:00

I'm starting to Detest school. I hate the assingments and the fact that the exams are nearing. I feel completely unprepared and not bothered. This is definately not good. Not good at all. I just want to do well enough..i need to push myslef..but how?..i'm just so sick of the same old routine.

Come back frm school.bath.down 2 cans of red bull.study.come back from school.bath.down 2 cans of red bull.study.Come back from school.bath.down 2 cans of red bull.study.Come back from school.bath.down 2 cans of redbull.study...........same shit different fraking day.

I hate this routine. And the fact that i stay 2 hours away from my school doesn't help at all. I mean yes, i love my school and the poeple in it. I'm really enjoying myself at TP. But ending a long day at school and taking 2 hours to get home really isn't peachy at all.

And the fact that on alternate days, i have to make my way to my grandmother's house is just the icing on the cake. I abhore going there. Anyone would. If it wasn't for the fact that i studied in the East where my grandmother just so happens to work, i wouldn't even bother going there,save to maybe visit her on the weekends.

I miss my girls a hell lot. I hate that school always gets in the way of me spending more time with them. It's either that or i have something less important that i am being forced to go for. Jesus Chirst.

Well basiclly right now i just lack the motivation. And i have no clue how to get motivated. Should i be worried? Hell yes. But my worry isn't going to help me get motivated. If that doesn't,what will?

....till next time fella..catch you on thr flipside..=)

why Hello there!..so i've been on a one month hiatus..well i've been bz....so alot has happened since the last time i blogged...

1) Natural

So the performance was great.Performing at the Victoria theatre was definately an experience..and the kids were so adorable. Working with them really opened my eyes to a lot of things..they were such joys to work with..and it thought me a lot of patience...and the Victoria theatre is hanunted people!!!...ok so most of you would probably know that but hey...its my blog and i'll say what i want...i can't believe we got a standing ovation...hais..too cool...too cool...

2) Tanya's Birthday

Meeting the girls again was the best..talking and catching up as usual..haha and the food was nice man!..especially the prawns..didn't eat much though...yes,suprise,suprise..-_-...and tani looked soo good..what with her bohemian skirt and top..her cousin Andrea is so damn funny its unbelievable..hahaa....too bad i had to leave early..as usual....damn school!....

3) Ara's x'mas party

God that day was cold!..it was raining like cats and dogs and the wind was piercing..so i made my way to Ara's..her house was so nicely done up..especially the tree..and it was warm and cosy..met her family members there..her cousin Caleb is so adorable!.and the food...Oh.My.God...her dad cooks damn damn well..specially the pork ribs..they were sweet yet a bit spicey...very very good..and obviously the company was good..Shireen came and then Kristy then Roach then tani..we played this tic-tac-toe game..quite fun...

4) Jo's Bdae

was fun...spent the night at her place...had dinner at PS cafe..omg the food was orgasmic..the flamed prwans were fresh and the cheese...jesus..the cheese was just heavenly..after dinner we made our way down to wine bar at zouk...wine was good..i actually don't really remember much about that night..i just know it was fun..i thought i was going to die..tt doesn't sound like much fun does it?..but besides my apparently near-death experience, i think it was fun..thnks tani!..

5) New Years

What can i say?..i just hope 2007 goes as quickly as it came..2006 was def a very good year for me.it was a year with a lot of firsts..i grew as a person emotinally and spirtually..and i just hope that growth doens't stop.I'm going to be 19 this year and i'm not looking forward to it at all...19...19..nineteen..9-teen...yuck i hate that number...it's so odd..haiss...i want this year to go smoothly of course and i want to do well academically.My poly years are fast coming to an end and i am afraid of what the "outside" world is like. I want not only to survive but do well when i leave. I definatley want to get my degree and pursue law.i just hope god grants me the faith,motivation,perserverance and patience..hais....

School has started and i must get serious...

...till next time fella..catch you on the flipside..=)

update time!

2006-12-04T23:51:00.000+08:00

ok!..time for that much awaited UPDATE!!!!..

X'mas is here again!!!...lalalala...ok so i have a really good feeling about chirstmas this year. We all know how it turned out for me last year. I think calling it basic shit woud have been an understatement..so although i know it's not going to be as good as chirstmas in 2003 and 2004,it'll definately be an improvement. i Cannoooot wait for my mid-sems to be over..

school's really biting me in the ass now.I have an assingnment due tomorrow for fam law which makes up for 30% of my grade,a test on thursday for my CDS and then revision all the way for the rest of my subjects like OB, Accounts and the dreaded...CONVEYANCING!...fucking hell..it is the only law subject that's closed-book..now tell me how i'm gna get through 14 odd chapters by next friday?..hais......... some divine intervention now please!..........

I cannot wait till the hols start..i have soo many things i want to get done..hais..just one more week..

So..the weather is just perfect. It's such chirtmas weather. It's very romantic..hmm..wasn't tt random...

well in other news,me and Kathi are ok now. haha and it took us one whole year to finally be okk with each other. It's good because we've cleared so many things up with each other. Something we would not have been able to do otherwise. I guess some friendships are really worth fighting for. I have a feeling we're gna be a part of each other's lives for a loong time to come innit..Mr.Unhappy?...

Ok so..i promised to upload pictures..but i can't seem to do it on this computer..so i'll upload it some other time.

...till next time fellas...catch you on the flipside=)

smashing i say!

2006-11-16T22:04:00.000+08:00

OK.so Ara's birthday was smashing,and in a lot more ways than one,thank you. Dinner and clubbing after was funfunfun...so here's what happened..

After school last friday, i quickly rushed down to Tampines mall to get Ara her present..i walked around that stupid place and Century Square cracking my brains as to what to get her (I finally setteled on a nice cross pendent),quickly got it and waited at the interchange for her.So there i was waiting when Ashwin and mato saw me (Mato was going to Ash's place for i don't know what reason)..so we were all talking waiting for Ara..she came,we boarded the bus and headed to Khatib..the bus ride was very entertaining..what with Mato playing his tabla and Ashwin singing some devotional song out aloud..-_-...so anyway,when we got off the bus, Ashwin started begging us to visit his "pet"(..refer to last months post)..but obvioulsy we couldn't...

We proceeded to meet Ara's parents, had some tea and then headed back to get changed..mind you we were all supposed to meet for dinner at 7..but by the time we reached Ara's place it was 5.30...

K..we got back and instead of rushing to get changed, we took our own sweet time with showering and getting dressed...and when we finally did, it was 7. .hahaa..so Ara's parents dropped us off at Holland V where we met the rest and had dinner at Cafe 211..god the food there is heavenly..especially the seafood risotto and the lamb..mmm...

So the company was great,as usual,my ladies..we were doing a lot of stupid things...taking stupid photos..cracking stupid jokes..hahaa...can't wait till the pictures are loaded..but for now....

The one decent picture we took.......

After dinner was over, we headed down to MOS. Met Dom, Ash, and 2 of Ara's frineds.We went to the R&B room but it was fricking packed so we went up to the retro room...OMG..that room is Farking pscyadellic...groovy baby..from the dance floor to the ceiling right down to the chairs...and the songs that were playing were damn old school..hahah too cool...

After that we headed to the main arena where we pretty much spent the rest of the night..the house music was preetty awesome..it was really nice having all the girls dance together..fuck man...i reaaally can;t wait for deember when everyone turns 18..haha 'tis gna be fun..

Aight..of course a lot more things happened and it was a lot more fun..but i don't really remeber the details and i'm too lazy to blog about what i do rmb..so wehn the pictures are loaded,i'll let them do the talking...

...till next time fella..catch you on the flipside=)

of sisterly love..

2006-11-09T21:58:00.000+08:00

Have i ever mentioned how much i absolutely adore my baby sister?.No?.Well then.let me enlighten you..

I LOVE LOVE LOVE her. It occured to me today just how cute she was,not just in the way she looks but in the manner of which she does things.She says and does the cutest of things. And even when she gets really annoying and spoilt (those are the times i wish she wiuld just dissapear), she never fails to make me smile at the end of it. I really can't imagine how our lives would be without her...

..till next time fellas..catch you on the flipide=)

2006-11-08T22:33:00.000+08:00

Phantom Of The Oprah is coming to town!!!!...lalalaa..i'm one happy lady..ahh..the simple pleasures of life..can't wait to go and watch it..but first..finances please!..my mum said she'll pay half..so hopefully i'll get a good seat..yay!..

hurhur..so i had one of those really long talkes with my sister the other day..quite intresting i must say..found out A LOT about something.but i guess it really doesn't affect me anymore..change is in the air i say!..hmm..i'm exceptionally hyper today..maybe cause it's midweek..i can just smell the weekend..

Ara turns 18 this friday.Tis going to be fun..

I really can't wait till december..I really can't wait to see all my girls again..i swear,after the A's are over for them,we're ging to have fun..innit Tanya?..

...till next time fellas..catch you on the flipside=)

My people!

2006-11-04T21:22:00.000+08:00

My people,My people!..what is up on thee?..

hmmmmm....so..update time!..lets see...

So i had this thing with Levis last tuesday at Vivo City.I Basiclly was a sort of "study" and had to take this team of Middle-Managers from all the Levis companies around the world to my favorite shops so they could better understand the trends of Asian Women.Not bad,seeing as how i got paid $70 bucks for it..and Vivo City is really nice..especially the third floor that overlooks the harbour..

Well school has more or less taken off..and to a good start i hope..the subjects so far seem pretty good,even conveyancing.We got a really cool tutor for conveyancing.She's a full time lawyer who is a partner with the firm she works at.And she's patient..

I love my time-table this semester.The latest i finsh is at 4 and the earliest is 12,which was yesterday.So since i finshed early and Ash was in school,we decided to go catch a movie.Went down to Century Square.We initally wanted to watch Step-Up but we couldn't and quickly decided on the Grudge 2.I must admit i had my doubts on how good the movie was going to be..BUT..having watched it,i must say it's one helluva scary movie..and there was this one kid sitting in front of us who,minus the face paint,looked exactly like the boy from the movie..he even tried to scare us by hiding behind his seat and bobbing his head up at us at certain points during the movie..stupid boy..

Went back for drama.t'was good..

My mum has taken to a new hobby of late night cooking.It's quite an intresting little hobby.And the dishes she cooks are quite nice.Like her sauteed mushrooms and her risotto..but especially her mushrooms..i learnt how to make them today..and it's nice ok!..

Well either then that,nothing intresting really..

...till next time fellas..catch you on the flipside=)

once upon a midnight dreary...

2006-10-30T21:47:00.000+08:00

'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.`
'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
Nameless here for evermore.

And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
`'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door -
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; -
This it is, and nothing more,'

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
`Sir,' said I, `or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you' - here I opened wide the door; -
Darkness there, and nothing more.

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before
But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, `Lenore!'
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, `Lenore!'
Merely this and nothing more.

Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
`Surely,' said I, `surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore -Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; -'Tis the wind and nothing more!'

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door -
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door -
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
`Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,'
I said, `art sure no craven.
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore -
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore

Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning - little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door -
Bird or beast above the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as `Nevermore.'

But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only,
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered - not a feather then he fluttered -
Till I scarcely more than muttered
`Other friends have flown before -
On the morrow will he leave me, as my hopes have flown before.
'Then the bird said, `Nevermore.'

Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
`Doubtless,' said I, `what it utters is its only stock and store,
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore -
Till the dirges of his hope that melancholy burden bore
Of "Never-nevermore."'

But the raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore -
What this grim, ungainly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking `Nevermore.'

This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core;
This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o'er,
But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er,
She shall press, ah, nevermore!

Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.
`Wretch,' I cried, `thy God hath lent thee - by these angels he has sent thee
Respite - respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! -
Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted -
On this home by horror haunted - tell me truly, I implore -
Is there - is there balm in Gilead? - tell me - tell me, I implore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God we both adore -
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden, whom the angels named Lenore?'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!' I shrieked upstarting -
`Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!

*blows nose*..damn the goddamned haze i tell you!..thnks to it i have a freaking BAD cough and running nose..was supposed to meet ash today for brewekrz but beacuse of my cold, i had to stay home...sorry ash!..next time k?..

i was lying in bed this morning and i realised i didn't blog about how my deepavali went..i mean not that it was extremely fun and happening or anything..this deepavali really didn't feel like a festive occasion..it felt like any ordinary day actually..i think the reason why it felt so "normal" or uneventful was because my grandad wasn't around to celebrate it with us..i miss him tremendously...i never realised it before but he really was a big part of why deepavali was so fun for me..

I remember on deepavali mornings how my dad would yell at us to wake up and get changed and rush us to my grandpa's place where my grandma would quickly adorn us with her jewellary while my grandad got his camrea ready to take photos of us in our new outfits..

I remember how my cousins and my sisters would have to stand in the hot sun while my grandad took pictures of us,all the while making fun of the way we stood or scolding us for not smiling properly..he really loved taking photos..without fail,every deepavali from the time i could remember..not this deepavali though..not anymore..

I remember how every deepavali he would sit in his study room and call us all in one by one to secretly give us money so we wouldn't have to put it in our banks..

I remember the jokes he cracked and how he made fun of my grandmother's cooking or dressing or just simply made fun of her..

I remember how he would always be on his chair in front of the TV,waiting to greet me as i entered..

god i miss him...It's going to be a year now...

..till next time fellas...catch you on the flipside...=)

poison rationality?..i think not

2006-10-24T00:02:00.000+08:00

hello you..

so school started today.Mixed feelings really..I'm half looking forward to the new semester,half not.Half looking forward to it because i can't wait to see what this sem has in store for me;Half not beacuse i'm dreading the projects and what not...hais..

Had conveyancing lecture today..seems like a pretty ok subject...and just like LCOM,it's a 100% course-based subject...Great!..just what i need..rahhh!!!....had Accounts after..was pretty alright too lah...I got home and slept like a fricking slob and now..i'm having difficulty going back to sleep..bloody hell..

I really have got to learn to stop being so sentimental.I feel it is this that really keeps me from letting go of the past.As much as i want to and as much as everyone around me says to,i just cannot seem to live and let live..

As much as i want to be happy for you and her (and i am ),a part of me feels so.....i don't know how to put it in words..I know it's been such a long time now,and it shouldn't come as a suprise that you've moved on..but still..when you told me yesterday,as much as i was expecting it,i was still a bit..how to say..shocked?..I guess i never really knew how much i had "moved on" until yesterday..

Argh!..i really don't know what to feel anymore..after what you told me yesterday (that you've been with her for a few months), i can't help but to think of what you told me 2 months back..now i wonder if you said that because you meant it or because you were simply trying to get back at me for what happened..

I guess i'll just have to settle for the seconed best option right?...

But all that aside,i'm just glad we're ok now..

cause some other girl has got your heart
and it's tearing me apart

...Till next time fellas....catch you on the flipside...=)

Magus Luna

2006-10-16T21:48:00.000+08:00

Magus Luna 2,The Fairytales.i'm at a loss for words actually.I don't know where to start.I really don't.I have so many things to say to everyone who made this a sucess..everyone..from the performers right down to the audience.

The performers..god where do i start?..all of you worked so hard for 3 months-from the auditions to the rehersals-and never once gave up.In fact the more set backs you guys had the harder you pushed,the more you strived for perfection.I'm most proud of the freshies.You guys are such a talented and committed bunch.I know that with you lot,DramaTec will definately go far..

Ghaulia
Hirzi,Muna,Nisha,Yana and Aisha..Your dance moves were the shit and your roles perfect.I'm most impressed with Yana and her improptuing.You guys set your mind on something and achived it.Thank you.

Unicorn and the Alleycat
Mas and Yazid..as always, a splendid performance.Your catl ike abilities Yazid still amaze me..as do you Mas.Thank you.

Dilly and Jo rap
One of the most improved groups i must say.I was starting worry your performance won't pull through but you guys(especially Dilly) worked hard and wowed the crowed.Thank you.

Monkey Man
Mato,You stepped in at the last minute to fill up a performance gap..all this on top of being head organiser..good on ya mate!.Thank you.

3 wishes
You guys worked veryvery hard with your props and what not and really impressed everyone watching you performance (although there were the unexpected laughs).You worked and worked on your performance until it was near perfect.Thank you.

Songs
Fadz ans Elias..haha..good singing and playing.Elias your voice has improved drasticlly and fadz your playing was good.Thank you.

Crew

Kay-You stepped in and helped us pull this whole thing together when you could have just stepped aside and not gotten involved.You helped in so many ways and i am so grateful for what you have done for DramaTec.You're an inspiration.Thank You.

Ashwin-You're one of the easiest people to work with.You always find a way to make a joke out of a bad situation.Thank you for being the SM and getting things like lights and sound together.You might just get laid now.Thank you.

Pica-You are so organised!.Thank you for ordering the food for us,doing FOH with me and following me to get the flowers.Thank you.

Mato-I've never seen you so focused on something like how you were for magus luna.It really was quite a joy working with you on this.You really helped alot of the groups improve by working with them.Thank you.

Main Comm- Like mato said,as much as MAto and i were the prganisers,without the suport of Mas and Fadz,this wouldn't have been possible.Thank you.

Nadi Crew-you guys were so patient and toloerable toward us.THANK YOU.

To anyone else i forgot-Thank you for helping make Magus Luna 2 a success.

Now design space is empty with no sign whatsoever that anyhting took place there.No sign of a full house audience,no sign of anything.Like Kay said,only memories that we'll take with us.

..till next time fellas...catch you on the flipside..=)

Ashwin's guide

2006-10-08T15:21:00.000+08:00

why hello there...hurhur...

so i was talking to Ash the other day over some teh alia and in the course of our conversation,he mentioned how he was sure that if he bought this one particular shirt,he was,in his own words,"gonna get laid".

I sat there smiling at his stupidity as i always do (c'mon lets not kid ourselves) when i realised that this wasn't the first time he had said something like this (that he was going to get laid that is). I slowly started recalling all the other times he had said that and how it just never seemed to work.

So i decided,just for shits and tickles,to come up with with a sort of list...

BEHOLD............................................................................................................

ASHWIN'S GUIDE TO GETTING LAID

1) when going clubbing,don't dance,just play pool

2) If you don't get a chance to play pool,just sit by the pool table and hope your turn will come

3) If playing pool fails,then hit the dance floor and dance with light sticks (this one's a sure win)

4) Keep a stray dog

5) Correction,don't keep the dog;Just bathe it,feed it, and bring it to the vet..forget about giving it shelter

6) be a mummy's boy(apparently girls dig that)\

Disclaimer:The above mentioned information is true and accurate to the best of the author's knowledge. The author of this guide shall not be held liable for any injuries caused to whosoever follows it.Be it animal scaratches,suits in harrasments or fights caused while playing pool.

Follow at your own risk.

Well in other news,the haze has gone down drasticlly.Thank god!..bloody haze gave me such a bad headache yesterday.And it doesn't help that this month has been particularly humid. The haze seems to be trapping this humidity..it's making me miserable. Stupid,irresponsible fire starters.Selfish i tell you.Nevermind that we're already going through bad climate change and are experiencing the greenhouse effects,caused by DEFORESTATION!!..rahhhh...

....till next time fellas..catch you on the flipside..=)

been a long time coming

2006-10-05T12:41:00.000+08:00

ahh Clarice...it's been a long time coming..what has been up on thee?

Well quite a few things actually..hurhur...lets see...

1) Poly forum..boooo!!!!..waht a total waste of time..although i did make new freinds..guess that was the only fun thing..Alyssa and myself ended up being the emcees for our subtheme's final presentation to the Perm Sec of MCYS..the Perm Sec i tell you!..now if i remember my LSM2 correctly,the Perm Sec is someone quite important..too bad he wasn't paying attention to what we were saying...haisss...

2) So after Poly forum was over,i met my ladies at HardRock cafe for dinner and coffee after..i got my script for the Cannon Dv Fest 06 from Kristy who was the director..basiclly i played a girl, Carrie ,who was a jealous,arrogant bitch..filming took about 3 days..haha i'm jst glad i'm on the acting side of things. man..things like directing,sound,producing are so technical!..i'll never be able to do it..haha..and it's amazing how a scence that on screen is only about 5 mins long takes like an hour to film...man..haha..thst's why i'd do theatre any day!..hmm..i think i've said something like this before...Septembers archive if i'm not wrong...

3)o..and then there was Mato's performance at Timbre..went down with ash to watch him perform...was cool..and it was for a good cause..o!..and i met Mathilda from Spore Idol there..turns out her Boyfriend is in the same band as Ashwin..she's nice..

4)hais..Ah..and then myself,dominic and leon went down to brewerkz for some beer..was cool lah..had the Oktoberfest beer..was quite nice actually..so after like getting high at like 7,we decided we wanted more and got what our wallets could afford...beer from 7-eleven...but it was all good..so we just sat by the river and talked..Mato joined us later at Liang court for his dinner..well half his dinner..we took the other half...then cabbed back home with LEon..i hope i gave him enough cab fare man..and got to my grannies...

well yeap that's all folks!

so school's offcially out.amen to that. haha i can really concentrate on drama now.Magus Luna is coming up in about a months time and we have to go full steam ahead..rehersals start tomorrow..4 hours of non-stop rehersals..i hope magus luna goes well..i want it to go better then our AGM,(which went very well by the way)..i pray it does..

I wonder what sem 2 has in store for me..sem one went by nicely..it was a great sem in fact..i like my class and the new friends i've made..i guess they are what made this sem so much more enjoyable..especailly Shahira and 'Lotion girl' aka 'Roosty' aka Rus..hahaa..

So tomorrow is movie day,shopping day and dinner day at arab street..can't wait...

came across this song the other day...really nice...

"Only wanna be with you"

You and me, we come from different worlds

You like to laugh at me when I look at other girls

Sometimes you're crazy and you wonder why

I'm such a baby cause the Dolphins make me cry

But there's nothing I can do

I've been looking for a girl like you

You look at me, you got nothing left to say

I'm gonna pout at you until I get my way

I won't dance, you won't sing

I just wanna love you but you wanna wear my ring

But there's nothing I can do

I only wanna be with you

You can call me your fool

I only wanna be with you

Put on a little Dylan Sittin' on a fence I said,

"That line is great," you asked me what it meant by

"Said I shot a man named Gray

Took his wife to Italy

She inherited a million bucks, when she died it came to me"

I can't help it if i'm lucky"

I only wanna be with you

Ain't Bobby so cool

I only wanna be with you

Yeah I'm tangled up in blue

I only wanna be with you

You can call your fool

Only wanna be with you

Sometimes I wonder if it'll ever end

You get so mad at me when I go out with my friends

Sometimes you're crazy and you wonder why

I'm such a baby and the Dolphins make me cry

There's nothing I can do

I only wanna be with you

You can call me your fool

I only wanna be with you

Yeah I'm tangled up in blue

I only wanna be with you

Only wanna be with you

SINGAPORE IDOL IF A FRAKING JOKE.A JOKE I TELL YOU.ONE BIG FUCKING JOKE.
so sue me.
I'm actually embarresed by this (these things don't usually bother me) but this time,it's really too much.How on gods green earth did Mathilda ,possibly one of the best singer in the compettion get voted out?.i mean hello Singapore,just in case you all haven't realised,it's a fricking SINGING compettion.not a compettion to see who's got the best hair(PAul,if you're too afraid to show your face,wear a mask),the most plastic face(stupid joakim,you deserve to get hit on the head) or who can be the most annoying(honsetly Jasmine,i think your Ah Lians miss you,spare us the pain of hearing you sing and go to K-Box can?) ARGH!..you know the moment i found out the best 3 singers were in the bottom 3 i turned the channel..bloddy joke i tell you.

and i bet you it's all those cheena mungens keeping the worst singers in..i agree with Shahira..they should pass a law prohibiting bloody stupid imbisils like this from voting..

WELL, on a much lighter note,got back my course results for crim pro today..got an A..haha i honestly didn't expect that...hopefully my GPA goes up this sem too...got an A for arts app today..haha i felt so happy after our perfromance..i thought we were gna get a C or smth..but Ms.Hernie said the script weas good (*appluase to Palts*) and the cast was strong..yay!..will be getting my course work grades for accounts tomorrow..i'm not looking forward to contract...bleah!..hahaa...

So school's gna be out in a days time..can't wait..intense studying now man...hais...can't wait for tomorrow..meeting my ladies for dinner.. a pact we made 2 years ago..haha..ok so i didn't go last year..but this year i tell you!..this year..can't wait...

...till next time fellas...catch you on the flipside..=)

so saturday started off preety shitty..the lcomsk test could have gone alot better..don't think i did well for that one..hais..i'm threading on very thin ice here...after the test ash and my self headed down to century square for some SOOSHI!!..haha my craving has finally been satisfied..i swear i was craving for sushi for the longest time..too bad they didn't have the buffet or i would've stuffed myself.... after lunch, i made my way hm,took a short rest and went down to arab strret to meet shahira for some egyptian food and shisha..god..the food was heavenly..it was lamb and rice..and the lamb was sooo tender...and tasty....yum..haha..after shisha we decided,just for shits and tickels, to make our way down to the esplanade for baybeats...

WAHAHAHAHAHA it was a fucking joke man....okok...don't get me wrong..the atmosphere and the music were good...but it was like every minah and matt in spore had made their way down there...and the best part about it was that they ALL dressed the same way!...i honestly couldn't tell one from the other...same dark rimmed glasses,black clothes,tappered pants,floppry hair...hahaa i think shahira and myself were really sticking out like sore thumbs....sooo godamned emo man...but either than that it was pretty ok..and for the first time, i actually caught the last train home..i expected it to be empty as hell..but it was packed man...like completely....

there were too many

hello you. haha sorry for the hiatus..just that there's really been nothing much to blog abt..had my contract test today..mcq and true or false..sounds easy enough right?..wrong..i was quite careless..i gave 3 marks away just like tt..and one ques was soooo straight forward and just plain easy..but nooooooooooo...i was so frickin careless...hias...hopefully i'm be able to get above 20 ( its upon 30)..tt wld really be nice...

i really have to start on revision proper for my crim pro..it's really lagging behind all my other subjects..which is bad,very bad...

was talking to Tanya yesterday about a certain very ungrateful,superficial,self centered individual. This individual really has his/her priorities mixed up. and it sickens me to think that after all that has happened,NOTHING has gone through that persons thick,empty skull.It's as if this person has completley forgotten about the past.I agree we should leave the past behind and look to the future,but aren't future experiences based on what has happened in the past?..i mean we act the way we do,talk the way we do because of what we've learnt from before. Countries learn from their past mistakes so HISTORY DOESN'T REPEAT ITSELF. It's exacty the same here..only it's evident that YOU haven't learnt from your past mistakes and yes,this time,history is repeating itself.

i've found myself thinking a lot about you lately and i can't for the life of me fathom why. everytime you cross my mind,i get this really weird feeling..a feeling that maybe things are about to change for the better..maybe i'm expecting too much..haha wake up palti,nth's ever gna change.. best you learn to move on..shit's hit the fan pretty bad this time. .hais...

When someone said count your blessings now

For they're long gone

I guess I just didn't know how

.....till next time fellas....catch you on the flipside..=)

ok...so it's 4 days till my birthday and instead of going shopping to get the things i need, i'm stuck at home with a high fever,sore thorat,body ache and a running nose. Great. just what i need...and because of all this, i am not able to do anywork at all, which is bad by the way cause tests are coming up in 2 weeks...i swear,my life just prides itself on perfect timing!..I have to get better by thurs so i can at least go and buy my dress.

Well, work wise,i'm slowly starting to study properly...i've got 3 more chapters of crim pro to go and 3 more chapters of contract to read up on..crim pro's being a bitch...but i love the subject too much to complain..haha it's damn intresting.

Well ok, i really should go now..have to take my medicine and sleep...and hopefully get some work done later..

oo..i stumbled upon this video on youtube by death cab for cutie.."what sarah said"..the video uses parts of the episode from 6 feet under where Nate dies..damn sad....BUT,since i'm such a computer illiterate,i can't seem to upload the video here..hais..ok...i'll just have leave you all with the lyrics than...

"What Sarah Said"

And it came to me then that every plan is a tiny prayer to father time

As I stared at my shoes in the ICU that reeked of piss and 409

And I rationed my breathes as I said to myself that I'd already taken too much today

As each descending peak of the LCD took you a little farther away from me

Away from me

Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines in a place where we only say goodbye

It stung like a violent wind that out memories depend on a faulty camera in our minds

But I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose than to have never lain beside at all

And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground as the TV entertained itself'

Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room

Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news

And then the nurse comes round and everyone will lift their heads

But I'm thinking of what Sarah said that "Love is watching someone die"

So who's going to watch you die?..

...Till next time fellas...catch you on the flipside=)

Stars are Blind-Paris Hilton

I don't mind spending some time

Just hanging here with you'

Cause I don't find too many guys

That treat me like you do.

Those other guys all wanna take me for a ride

But when I walk their talk is suicide

Some people never get beyond their stupid pride

But you can see the real me inside

And I'm satisfied, oh no, ohh

Even though the gods are crazy

Even though the stars are blind

If you show me real love baby

I'll show you mine

I can make you nice and naughty

Be the devil and angel too

Got a heart and soul and body

Let's see what this love can do

Baby I'm perfect for you

Ohh oh, ohh

I could be your confidante

Just one of your girlfriends

But I know that love's what you want

If tomorrow the world ends

Why shouldn't we be with the one we really love?

Now tell me who have you been dreaming of?

I and I alone, oh, ohh

Even though the gods are crazy

Even though the stars are blind

If you show me real love baby

I'll show you mine

I can make you nice and naughty

Be the devil and angel too

Got a heart and soul and body

Let's see what this love can do

Baby I'm perfect for you

Excuse me for feeling

This moment is critical

Might be we feeling

It could get physical, oh no, no no

Even though the gods are crazy

Even though the stars are blind

If you show me real love baby

I'll show you mine

I can make you nice and naughty

Be the devil and angel too

Got a heart and soul and body

Let's see what this love can do

Let's see what love can do

Baby I'm perfect for you

You

Baby I'm perfect for you

Even though the gods are crazy

Even though the stars are blind

Even though the gods are crazy

Even though the stars are blind

This song is swweeeeeeettttttttttt =)

hello you.So..it's 3 days to a new school term..am i looking forward to it?..nope.not one bit. Basiclly my plan of wanting to use the 2 weeks of my hols to catch up on my school work has all gone to the dogs...RAHH!..way to go palts..honestly, keep this up and you can just dream of not sitting for a sup.Hais..i mean ok week one was understandable,what with production and all..but this past week, i really had no excuse..i was just plain lazy..plain fucking lazy...i mean contract law isn't that bad,seeing as how we've had our repot to work on..but my crim pro and accounts just haven't been touched..heck i can't even remember half the things covered in crim pro..and the icing on the cake?..common tests are coming up in abt 2 weeks..RAHH!!!

Well on a lighter note, our contract law report is more or less done..all that needs to be finished are the nitty gritty things like editing and what not...all kindly done by Shahira..=)..hopefully it's ok..i mean we didn't have any client talk cause not one question asked was answered (i think our client went on holiday or smth)..so hopefully what we've deduced is sufficent enough....I've realised that group work can be quite a frustrating little thing..especially when u have group members that are well,for the lack of a better word, lazy. I feel it pulls the whole dymanics of the group down. What's worse is that they ride on your wave and get grades they don't very well deserve..we should have had peer appraisal for contract..i think it would have made things alot more tolerable for some of us.

Next up,Criminal Procedure project..that would be quite fun though..

Oh yes, and i'm finally moving up the social ladder..haha gone are the days where i carried a phone even my grandfather would be embarressed of!..i've finally got myself a new phone from the L' Amour Collection,thanks to my dad of course..it's sucha a B.E.A.utiful phone..i didn't have the heart to use it when i first touched it..haiis...o!..and my mum finally decided to get me my atm card...although i still need to learn a few things on how to withdraw money..hahaa..much to my dismay today,i withdrew $50 instead of my intended $20 and spent it..bleah!...see, that's the bad thing about having too much money in your hands,it just slippes through your fingers,and before you know it,you're broke...

Hmm...i need to find my birhday dress soon cause my birthday is in like 8 DAYS time..hehe...

.....till next time fellas...catch you on the flipside=)..
