Prem passed away last night...

Many of ya would know him as NUS Puyal Prem..He also was a talented singer( His last perf was tonite on Super Nanbargal-He was apparently really lookin forward to it and had said it was his best perf to date)..

God is unfair sometimes..He was only 22...And of all things..He passed away a day before his cousin sis's wedding,in which he was to play an impt role.. He had an asthma attack and passed away on Sat night..

Although I didnt know him very well..I do know that he would have contributed greatly to society..And from today..I understand that he was a very family oriented person..Who was loved by all of his friends and family... It just broke my heart to see his loved ones talk about him..I just can't imagine what his family and gf must be going through now..

Please don't take anyone and anything for granted..This just hit me full force when i was in his house.. Everyone just assumes nothing will ever happen to them... Live each day to its fullest...Tell your loved ones that you love them.. It's just such a waste...My heart is too heavy to go on...My condolences to Prem's family and loved ones... He will always be remembered...

My sis turned 15 yesterday..So bloody fast la...I feel so bloody old..But feeling old doesnt mean I don't like taking pics of myself!! hahaha...bloody self obsessed...

I see you...

Took my sis to Marche's for lunch..Just the 2 of us...She had the yummy ham and cheese crepe whilst I tried the fish and wedges...Mmmm...

Happy Birthday Sis!!

I just lurveeeee Marche's....

Mmmmm...

Then we got bored whilst waiting for the bloody bus to come..So we ended up taking more pics...

Colgate Advert???

We still took pics on the bus!!! Hahaha..My sis is trying TOO hard to look garang..Hahaha...This look just comes to me easy peasy..Coz my friends and I, always end up taking shots like this..

Wanna mess with us???

Arrrrgggghhhhh...I got bullied into taking this yucky cute 'V' sign,japanese-kawaii, pose!!!! Sighz...I always make fun of my sis when she takes photos in this pose with her friends...Dun I look just retarded...Sooooo not me...

I'm SOooooooo ashamed!!!

*Dances around room*I wore a crown..I wore a crown!! Hahah..okie..yes, it was a paper one..But still...This was at my niece's birthday party on the same nite..She celebrated it at some ulu chalet in Changi..But it was a damn big chalet..But equally creepy...

Was there EVER a doubt???

My brother decided he also wanted to share in my royalty fantasy...Trust me...I was even looking for a fake wand to hold when I was gonna take the pic..

He copyyyyyyyy meeeee..

Sighz...So much funnn..And I got a few retro tops from my cousin sister too!! I will never say NO to clothes..Haha..But i'm tired as well..And I have to go visiting at Shawn's aunt's place later in the evening..Gtg take a nap now!!

My sis came back from her 3 day camp yesterday afternoon..slept at 3 plus and only woke up at 2 plus in the afternoon TODAY! Haha...Its okie laa..Since tommorrow's her birthday and all.. Die-ded dunno what to get her!! Die-ded...Isnt it such a fun word?? Say it with me now...Die-ded...

I just discovered how racy Destiny's Child's latest song, Lose My Breath, really is!! *Flutters fingers* Check some of the lyrics out...

I put it right there, made it easy for you to get to
now you wanna act like you don't know what to do
after I done done everything that you asked me
grabbed you, grind you, liked you, tried you
moved so fast, baby now i can't find you

Two things i don't like when i'm trynna get my groove
is a partner that meets me only halfway, and just can't prove
Take me out so deep when you know you can't swim

I'm startin' to believe that I'm way too much for you
all that talk but it seems like you can't come through
all them lines like you could satisfy me
now I see where believing you got me
gave you the wheel but you can't drive me

Hahaha...Cool huh?? When I 1st heard the song all I could catch were the "hhhhe hhhhe" breathy noises and a very catchy beat..I'm just glad they got back together and started making great tunes again..

I just realized I have this old pic of me and my bro on my comp..Cho Chweet no???

Awwwwwwwwww

Sighz...Sometimes I think of how life would have been if I had insisted on going to Aussie to pursue my degree..I've always wanted to go to UQ and take up their BA in Business and Tourism...But as the time came closer for me to decide, I really couldnt.. The thought of leaving my family,friends and shawn just tore my heart apart... To top it off, I wasnt certain I'll get to do any studying there at all!!! What with all the partying I would definately have indulged in!!

So I went on a trip to Brisbane all by myself in April/May for about 2 weeks.. Stayed with 2 of my besties, Joanne and Saras..I had a wonderful time there..When I 1st touched down I told myself..How will I ever want to leave this place???...Endless clubbing, cheap alcohol, cute guys, great friends,wonderful weather....But somehow I didnt feel sadness when I was at the airport waiting to come home..Instead I felt a sense of relief and happiness..Yes, I did enjoy myself tremendously for 2 weeks..But I really wanted to go home!!! Hahaha..I think my besties were jealous of me being able to go home! They're always complaining when i talk to them,of how they miss Spore and how much they want to be back..

But I guess studying overseas has it benefits and perks that I may never get to enjoy FULLY..As part of my degree, I have to go to Melbourne in my 3rd year for at least a month, attending lectures and seminars..So I'll get to live the life of an international student for a mth!! Hopefully my besties will be able to come as well..We're trying to plan a trip together and since I'll be going to Melb then, they might try to coordinate and come at the same time..But nothing's concrete yet...There's still a longgggggg way to go...

*Stares at hair* No one told me curly hair was THIS hard to maintain!!! Hmphhh...*Stares at Joanne* Hahahaha

Later..

Ahhhh...I can only wish for THIS dream wish list to get COMPLETELY fulfilled...Hehehe...I wonder if my bf still reads my blog?? If he does..*Sumi goes all puppy eyed and says you KNOW you love me!!!*

Okie...1st up...My FAV perfume in the world wide world of perfumery...Escada's Sexy Graffiti... I started wearing this before all the young wannabes started loading up on this gorgeous smelling,yummy, delicious scent...Sadly it's no more in stock as they only sold it for a certain time frame...Sighz...I only have like a 3/4 bottle left with me...So I cant make it my signature scent anymore coz i only have so little!!! Only for special occassions with special people!! So if anyone sees a bottle ANYWHERE..Tell me!!!! Or better...Buy it for me!!!Hahahaa

Yummm...

Okie..since I can't have Sexy Graffiti, the next best thing would be Escada Magnetism..i swear these Escada perfumes are heaven sent...They smell scrumptious and last an eternity.. Sadly my scent nowadays switch between Hugo Boss's Deep Red andJ.Lo's Glow..since I can't really find a signature scent I REALLY like...But Magnetism may just very well be it!!

Hmmm..It'll do..

Now we move on to my other love, make up..MAC's holiday must haves...The browns and nudes in this eyeshadow pact are to DIE for...And they come in this wonderful lil blue compact with crystal lettering!! How Cute is thatttt!!!! Being a MAC-nista...I am totally lusting for this gift!

Gimmeeeee...

Another MAC must have...The lip colour pact...Mmmmm...All the Viva Glam shades in one compact in a divaistic shade of red and crystals...*Drools*

Gimme Gimme...

And the ultimate gift to end this 1st part of my dream list...The Weave Diamond Ring from Tiffany & Co. I just lurveeeee this design and the chunkiness of it all...I hate skinny thin rings.. What's the point of having a big giant rock jutting out from a skinny thin band?? It looks stupid..I'd prefer this..However..brace yourselves..This knockout of a rings estimates at about $15,000!! Gagagagaggaag..*Evil Laughter*...Have ya fainted yet my dear baby boy???

Any Takers???

Phew...So many lovely things...So lil time and not to mention money...Sighz... Not to worry..Much more fantastic things I would love to own coming soon...And who knows..You can take note and hint a few hints to your other half!!! Hahaha..

Let's talk SI...I am sooo disappointed with the results...I dun even think the both of them should belong in the top 2..Syl MORE than Taufik..But since Taufik is the lesser of the 2 evils..I shall be rooting for him silently...I do not believe in spending my money on what has become a mockery of Spore's talented few ie:OLINDA,LEANDRA... But somehow, in the deepest recess of my heart, I know that Sylvester may very well win.. Definately NOT because he's talented, but because the majority of Sporeans are Chinese and he appeals to young Chinese girls, who as we know, have the most voting power,time,money and lack of brain cells (or maybe they're just hard of hearing)...

Note: I'm not being racist..though it does seem my entry borders on that..But i'm just sick of seeing talent always getting shown the backdoor either because of their skin colour, weight or looks...So to all my friends, please understand this is not a personal attack on anyone..Just thoughts and feelings... Coz as a Sporean Indian woman, I have experienced racial prejudice countless times..I've also been judged superficially and let me tell ya..It hurts on both accounts.. It's gotten to a point where if remarks are made among a group of friends, I can laugh it off..But deep down I feel like I'm being betrayed..

Sometimes comments are made without knowing the impact it has on the receiver.. It may seem totally normal for you, but you never know who you might be hurting.. Imagine hearing "Aiyah yah laa..Chinese ppl always stink laa..Dun sit next to them on the train" or "Malay men are all wife beaters".... Wouldnt ya get upset??? Coz those are like the top 2 comments I always hear made about Indians..

And take this year's Deepavali celebrations...Since it was so close to Hari Raya, it almost felt like we were non existent.. There was only a banner wishing all residents a Selamat Hari Raya from my constituency and no Deepvali wishes... And a entry to the Forum page stated that NTUC totally ignored the fact that Deepavali existed and hung only Hari Raya wishes..That's not as bad as some stores which had already hung up the Christmas decorations which were almost 2 FREAKIN mths away!!!

For a country who has devoted a whole day to Racial Harmony, we still have a long way to go..It's not just about wearing each other's national costumes for a day and singing songs in each other's language..It's more...MUCH more..

Saturday, November 20, 2004

Been so long since I went for a Deepavali show..The show was at Tengah air base and boy they sure know how to parrrrtyyy... But Ananthi and I were more interested if they were gonna give us any fooodd!!! Sadly they didnt...Sighz...

Where's my line..

By 8 something we were both bored out of our minds... Seriously...The songs the band chose were all like stuck in some strange time warp...Songs like Dilrupa...Like plsssssss....Thank god my bf came to pick us up after the show..Else we would have to wait for a cab at that ulu-near-the-cemetery place..We went to Adam Rd to have lunch cum dinner cum supper (for me laa coz all I had the whole day was Mentos!)

When will this finish..

And finally we have me trying to look mangamma!! Hahahaha...I seriously dun know...I actually like the headband..but my sis says it looks mangammaistic..Sighz...

Come and play...

I am soooooo sick today...Having the freakin flu..but still had to go to Tekka to collect my amended suit and then went to my baby's aunt's hse for dinner..

How not to talk to the person you're not talking to???? I really would like to know...Some people really have an attitude problem laa..Like they have a stick up their butt on a perm basis..*Grumbles*

And how can Spore allow OLINDA to leave Spore idol???? Like 'Errrrrrrr'...can you be more superficial???? You let ppl like Sylvester to go on to be a potential representative of Spore at World Idol???? Like you reallllllllllly want the rest of the world to know that HE is our best of our talent pool.... Sighz...Anyhoo I lost all hope and interest in Spore Idol once Leandra got kicked out..Like WTF??? When I went to Boom Boom Room, during his set, Kumar claimed that if Leandra didnt get to the finals, then Spore is definately a racist country... I cant stand all the screaming young groupies of Sly...Like, you wouldnt even give him a 2nd look if not for SI..He would be your regular Ah Beng-turned-rocker-wannabe...Sheeshhhh...

Watever..

Yawnnnzz...Bloody sleepy and tired..Finally went clubbing last night..Not planned at all..Went to Ananthi's sister's house for some Deepa-Raya visiting, then decided to go to Ashoka for a while since its ladies' night and all and the place was freakin near the house... She also got her hair permed!!! Hehehe..So pretty la she..She has the best make up and clothes ideas..That's why she's an image consultant! Anyone needs make up done for any occassion, call her at 97691945 or email her at anudarling@hotmail.com... I lurveeeee her biz card tag line..Look Stunning, Not Stunned!! Hahaha..

Anuu...

Her sis's house is so nice..Everytime I go there I'm in awe...Anyhoo this is me rite before we left and before my camera batt died on me..So we couldnt take a grp shot..

At the house...

The new Ashoka's damn big!!!! Quite nice...But the band played alot of sucky songs last nite so we left quite early..But it WAS ladies' nite and how could I pass up an opportunity to get free vodka limes??? So I had 4!!! Hahaha...Pls laa..Its been so freakin long since I've let my hair down..However the drinks did get to me a lil but just a LIL... Coz I was dancing and all it didnt really affect me.. But I did have this big goofy grin on my face...(Attn:Siblings of mine better not open their mouths about any of this to our mum...PLEASEEEE..*bats eyelashes*..I AM bringing ya all to watch PD 2 later rite???)

Hehee...

I was bored as usual yesterday before I left to her house so I decided to henna-fy my legs!!! I know..I am such a bum...But it turned out quite nice if I should say so myself...

Bored..

Gonna watch PD 2 later...Stupid JP only had a morning show..So have to go to Tiong Bahru to watch the 6 plus show..*Grumbles* I am schleeeepyyyyyyyyyyy....And my hair still stinks of smoke...Eww...

Wah Lauu...So called 'tailors' in Tekka cant even alter a simple punjabi suit! Sheeshhhhh...Wasted my time walking up and down Tekka finding one who could!

My hair has been getting several favourable responses from people..Hmmm...I think this is a keeper! But its quite tiring to maintain laa..Must use quite a few products...Of which i'm gonna go buy later.. Moneyyyy...I need moneyyy...

Gonna be quite busy this next 2 weeks..Have to go visiting, attend 2 weddings, and a puberty ceremony! Hahah..I know..to non-indians, you prob will find the idea of a puberty ceremony quite ridiculous...But its quite important though I didnt have one coz I'm a Malayalee (Sorta like with Chinese, you have Hokkien and Teochew sects, Indians have sects like Malayalees, Telegu ets) and Malayalees dun have this ceremony...Quite sad coz you can actually collect serious amounts of money and jewellery esp if ya have a huge family..

Anyhoo the ceremony's for Shawn's cousin and I still can't believe she already got her period! She's like this lil girl!!! Hahaha..I'm being paranoid...But I really like this girl..She sorta reminds me of myself when i was young, personality wise...So I plan on getting her a prezzie...But what the heck do ya give someone who just attained puberty??? Hahahaha...i have NO clue...

Oh god..Saturday at my house was more hectic than on Deepavali day itself!!! Had soo many people coming down.. And me being me..decided to wear the most annoying punjabi suit ever..It's this baby doll suit with beads hanging from the sleeves and makes hell of a noise when i move..but i like the cut laa..very flattering..

Saturday's Outfit..

My bro and sis look so nice here rite..Excuse the ladder behind eh!!

My Lovely Siblings...

My neighbours came visiting and brought their lovely lil kids along (although they DID sorta ruined the rangoli design!).. This lil guy is the cutestttttttt...Lil Rohan..He's sooo obedient and darn cute..

Me and Roshan

So many people came...My neighbours, my father's friends, my brother's friends, my aunt and uncles, cousins...Phew...was bushed by the end of it all..Then my mum decided that we were going to jb to visit my grandma the next day!!! Aiyohhhhh...

So being the dutiful eldest daughter, woke up early and went to bathe and change...Only AFTER i got ready with my suit and make up, did my dad discover that my brother's passport had not been extended (He being 18 and all and not yet in NS..They need to keep tabs on him!)... Wah Liaoooooooooo.... Damn pek chek lehhhh.... I was the only one who was dressed...So bloody fed up.. So being the self obsessed photo whore I am...I decided to take pics of myself!!

Now You Tell Me..

Me and My Mum..

I love black and white shots...Nicer than colour...

Let's start from the top....

So on Tues, me and Shawn went to jb to get some last min stuff and my accessories..Was feeling damn tired when we got back but I still wanted to curl my hair so we went to the shop in Marsling..But I just had to get a shot of my hair before it cut cut!

Feeling Blue

The ladies at the hairdressers were sooooo nice..And their prices were quite reasonable too..The last time I coloured and highlighted my hair it cost me $190!!!! This time, the curling plus base colour and highlights only came up to $150! And I love the new hair...Check it out!!

TaDaaaaaa

Nice no?? Hahaha...But it's taking a while to get used to NOT being able to comb my hair and I have to keep scrunching my hair up..The things we females do..So on the eve went to Tekka to get last min stuff and to get Shawn's jeans..He got them at Zara...Very niceeeee....I also wanted to get this cashmere V neck top...But another day laaa...And then finally went to Monica's booth to get my henna done..I was there around 4pm but only got to do mine at 12 midnite!!! Hahaha..she had quite alot of customers and me being the non-paying kind..decided to wait laa..Took the time to sew the beads and sequins on my sari blouse..Presenting the very talented Monica hard at work!!!

Hard At Work

And this is her booth's poster...Nice name yah?? Henna Fantasy!!

The Poster..

My henna was sooooo niceee...

Just Had It Done The Back

Seee...So dark rite??? It's a belief that the darker the henna, the more your husband/boyfriend loves ya...True???

After..

Me and my siblings created this rangoli design in our living room...Actually my brother did most of the work..He did the outline and everything...To those who dun know what rangoli is..Its a design that you make out of coloured rice..

Nice No?

I love my prayer room..Esp on Deepavali..Everything's soo grand..

My Prayer Room..

I chose this shirt for Shawn..so it matched my sari..Although he didnt know it at the time laa.. But it looks good on him..

Retro No?

My sari blouse turned out quite nice..It took me days to sew on all the sequins... I like this pic..We finally managed not to screw up a photo,,

The Pink Couple...

All my SIM mates turned up for lunch..Mel and Daphne even wore bindhis!! So cute laaa...

Foood...

Good conversation..good food..great friends..What more do ya need??

Yummy!!

Just before they left..From the bottom left...Ferrene, Kelly, Daphne, Melanie, Charmaine, Rafe
Top left..Richard, Me and Derek..

All of Us..

Monica also came for lunch..poor girl was soo tired.. But she looked so sweet in pink..What's with pink this year ah???

Monica And Me.. Watching TV...

My sis looked so good in yellow...I did her hair in cornrows..Both my siblings have grown up!!!! Sooo fastttt....

Act Cute Only..

Then left for my bf's house..Couldnt take the heat in my sari anymore so changed to my PINK (again?) punjabi suit...Guess who was there?? Kirthikaaaaa...My favourite girlieeee.... She's gotten even cuter!! And she recognised me immediately and came running...Awwwww....

Kirthikaa...

She was amazed with my digi cam..She looked at her pic and was like..'Naanaa, Naanaa??? ( Direct translation: Me Ahh, Me Ahh??)" Hahahhahaha....So darn adorable..

She's Just Too Cute..

Sighz....Deepavali's over for another year...But the visiting and all will continue laa..For the next month.. Already kenna booked by alot of people...But it's all good fun..Just wished my other 2 besties, Joanne and Saras were here! Would have been so much more fun!!! Miss ya guys...

Later...

I.AM.EXHAUSTED....

Spent the whole day walking around Tekka..But bought some really nice suits...Collected my sari blouse which was loose!!! Which meant i either lost weight...or the tailor screwed up really bad..i prefer to think the former!! Hahahaa....
