back again / 3/31/08
I hate Mondays.
There is never anything nice on tv.
I had the cramps today. A MC was taken to excuse myself from sitting for hours in a chair with cramps. Paracetamol is the only thing that stops the pain. Without it, I'd probably be curled like a prawn on bed.
March has been an ok ok month. Now that it is ending, I'm starting off with the birthday plans already. I'm thinking of a chalet. Celebrating birthdays in clubs are boring.
I'II start to get back to reality and then type it down in this blog of mine.

Indulgence. / 3/22/08
I must apologise for the lack of entries the past two weeks. Much time was spent on facebooking and since reading time is scarce, I spend the rest of my free time indulging in Paulo Coelho's books. Ah what a pleasure. Veena was the one who introduced me his books and now I am addicted.
So until I'm done with this new indulgence of mine, you wouldn't be seeing much updates here.

Thanks To Nuffagang... / 3/9/08
The weekend ended way too fast for me. I made a note on my organiser reminding myself that it's been eons since I ended my weekend with such a feeling. It's a good one. Trust me.
Saturday was what I call a typical laid back one which I enjoyed every bit of it. I headed down to Novena and after which made a hearty confession. Enjoyed the solace and tranquility of the church and reminded myself that I needed more of these "time to myself" sessions.
What came after the Novena session was amazing.
The company was awesome. The food was delectable. I enjoyed the escargots, cheesy sausage and my partner's German hamburger was what we call "yummiliuos". The bar cum restaurant had a very country like feel to it. And the awkwardness between us died off once the food was served.
We caught August Rush. I liked the movie but the ending was rather pale. The slip shot ending and the heart breaking storyline naturally dampened the mood. It wasn't a bad thing after all. We took a long walk and continued on with the conversations. I begged for the continuation of the story whenever a new one was brought up without the ending of the former. I shared all I could and I enjoyed every bit of that moment.
I boarded the bus as a happy person for I knew I never had made a mistake in deciding to spend my Saturday without being intoxicated. Our conversations made my day.
Thanks Sutha.
*Can't wait for our Ben & Jerrys Outing*
Ahem! It wasn't a date with a hot guy darlings....But nevertheless, I enjoyed it.
Sunday was filled with the mudane house cleaning chores pilled onto me by Mummy dearest. Puppy joined me for mass and we caught Leap Years after that. As usual he found it draggy. But I as usual love romantic flicks.
*I shall leave you with a copy of an email I received from Nuffgang today*

Landings International / 3/5/08
So here I am again. Knowing I'm late for work, I'm still enjoying my cup of hot milo and blogging.
Not much has happened ever since my last entry. Chilling in Chijmes with my darlings seem to be of interest to me. But not many are happy about it.
It makes me realise how we are all changing.
We are growing up. I was going through the pictures of me and Puppy and I realised how both of us have changed in terms of appearance and character of course. We are no more the 19 year old couple looking for a good party and company. Now, life is somewhat settled in terms of the activities we do and the people we hang out with. I personally have no qualms about that but I always initiate to do something different.
Shouldn't we all be doing something different from time to time in our busy, hectic schedules.
Anyways, church was interesting. I've finally decided on how I shall be playing a part in the ministry. Tony has chosen me to help him with the Landings International programme. This programme is to help relapse Catholics and confused ones to come back and join this community. We are a support group unlike RCIA. This programme will be the first of it's kind in the parish and in Singapore. I'II be helping him out in the youth ministry which comprises of only me. Big challenges await and I'm not forcing anyone into this. It takes alot of passion and calling to be wanting to play a part in such a ministry. After years of prayers, I've finally found the real group that I would love to belong to. Charmane said she was interested as well. It would be nice to have her around. We could continue our tea sessions as well. She is such a sweetie.
My cup of Milo is finished and I better get going as well.

toodles.

Durex Advertisement and My weekend. / 2/21/08
It was odd to get a call from an acquaintance who remarked that I had a Durex condom advertisement on my blog. I logged on to the net in anticipation to see the add and laughed out when I saw the vibrating effect it had. The marketing team of Durex must have thought that the adolescents who read my blog might want to sign up since most of them must be curiously dabbling in sex.
Nuffagang sent me another email notifying me that Nokia N82 is going to be advertising on my blog as well. That's a temptation. I'm contemplating on getting a new phone.
I shared the joke to Dhu and laughed about it on the way back until she mentioned Ranjit.
Oh well...
Never a day has passed since Ranjit's death that I've not thought of him. Now that he is gone forever, all the memories of us spending time is precious to me. It looked through all my photo albums and picked out all the pictures that had Ranjit in it. I'm going to laminate the pictures.
TGIF in Boss felt like a good reunion. I had my fun while being there. But I woke up in embarrassment. I spoke to Navin and Puppy about it. Navin's advise was practical.
Saturday night was spent watching Jodhaa Akbar. It was a couple date. I adore the couple that joined us. Veens and Ganesh. Anyone who watches the movie will adore the costumes and fanciful head accessories that the actors wore. Good flick but little draggy though.
I enjoyed the seafood dinner we had in the most "windyest" coffee shop ever.
I intend to finish my book by today and I love my Sundays.

Chocolate Cupcakes Fun.... / 2/19/08
I loved my Sunday and how nice would it be if I could wake up every Sunday looking forward to something I want to do instead of a bad hangover...
I finally got to meet my cooking kaki Ruthy to bake some nice hot chocolate cupcakes.
It's good that she is staying so much more nearer to me and its also superb that we don't have to enter any house that stinks of cats to bake. That experince was a real bad one but the cheesecake turned out good.
A day before our meeting I headed down to the bakery shop to buy pretty cupcakes decorations. Threw in a few candy butterflies which I saw at the cashier.
We still needed to get to CompassPoint to get the cocoa powder that we had forgotten about and the ride in the LRT was a hassle but different.
Here is the recipe.
1 1/2 cups flour 1 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup cocoa powder 1/2 cup oil
1 cup water 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon vinegar Mix it all together and tadaaaa....you have yummilious cup cakes.
We experimented alot because the temperature settings was different.
So, finally we stuck to 140c and bake it for 16 mins.
Simple and peasy weasy.
My bad fo buying the wrong type of "cups" for the cake. I stupidly bought the tart wrapper instead. But, the response from both Ruthy's family and mine was positive.
The Lap top helped us out a great deal.
Oooooh I liked the orange lights in her kitchen. Very romantic feel it had.
Measuring cup and pretty photos of her and her sis....
Hard at work...
See how serious she gets when it comes to baking. Lol!
Can't remember what that was but she chose the transparent bowl to make it "professional" looking. Ha ha ...
Oooh...Always been a hershey's fan and I use hershey for absolutely anything. Best to have a cup of hot cocoa on a rainy day. Yum......with condensed milk plssss.
Errr.....clumsy la she.......
Yummified lookin....no?
If oil was added, I would gulp that down anytime...
yum.
the mixing part takes alot of effort....
the talking glove and ruth!
Before baking.
Awaiting...
Cam whoring is a must anywhere....
Smelled great......tasted good....yummmm
Whipped cream was used...but try not to if you arnt serving immediately. Used icing instead.
Pretty one I made for Mummy. Stumble It!

Super Screen Shot, Try It Now. / 2/18/08
Ok, so as you can see, some new changes has been done to this blog of mine. Pathetic readership and boredom leads me to find sneaky ways to get more traffic. Most of it has worked. And it's nice to know that there are advertisements running on my blog as well. The last I checked my nuffgang account, I had earned myself about 12 dollars. I never believed in these "
earn while you blog schemes" but nuffgang proved me wrong. I earned something for really doing nothing.
So, today I signed up with ping.sg. Really interesting site. Me being slow with all these htmls and rss feeds and what nots, had trouble with the updating process. Some people in the website were really nice and helped me out.Note: If you have problem with the update function because of some annoying error, ask me and il help you.
Feedburner solves it all! Gloria!
Anyways, before the Monday blues set in, I thought I would share with you darling readers something I came across whilst surfing the world wide web.
=]
Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Superscreenshot!
Yes....You see I've tried getting screen shots of many sites before. But, the manual print screen version never worked for me. Besides, I had to change the measurements and format of the screen shot all manually. Thanks to http://www.superscreenshot.com/ I now don't have to do any of that.
This is a screenshot of my friendster page.
Hope superscreenshot is of some help to you.
Toodles.

Weeeeeee.....the weekend is here.
Work was good today. I like it when Raymond does the briefing. He gets really long winded and that makes it perfect for me to snooze while pretending to jot down notes. Lol! Today the briefing dragged on for one and a half hours and I silently prayed for him to go on.
It's a Sat afternoon and I'm home snuggled up in bed again chatting with Nora and her friend online about this psychotic ex colleague of ours. What a small world it is.
I love afternoon. It would be good if I could swim right now. I would stay all day long in the water. I', looking forward to the "long time never meet baking session" with Ruthy Baby tomorrow. I'm would enquire all about her well being and watch her make me laugh for the corniest thing she would say. It would be different from my mundane Sunday routine. I need to go to church tomorrow. I need spiritual guidance on too many things which I'm loosing track on. I need to cut down on the chocolates too. Pupsie kept commenting on my tummy all day long. Gosh....
Ps: I'm going to buy myself a new cycle with my next pay. I need to start living healthy.

Sick / 2/15/08
I'm sick again. Down with flu. Decolgen is not stopping the mucus from flowing from my nostrils but it's making me sleep so much. I bought carrot juice from the petrol station and it promised to be high in vitamin C. Yummy it was and I gulped it all down.
There hasn't been a day since Ranjit's death that I've haven't heard someone mentioning him. He knows way too many people and I never had a clue that some of my friends knew him.
Work has been great.
It's the people in office that makes me want to head to work everyday. I need to start ending my nights earlier. Too much of later nights is taking a toil on my health. I need to sleeeeeep early!
I've got myself a book read and Sonia promised to lend me some of hers as well. I'm going to be a good girl and snuggle up and read away. My room needs dusting and I feel like baking a chocolate cake.
I'm getting drowsy..and I like tt feeling.

Ranjit Kumar. My cousin I'II miss. / 2/12/08
My cousin Ranjit Kumar passed away in a tragic motor bike accident day before yesterday. The news of his passing has come as a huge shock to me because I still remember celebrating his birthday last month in jeans.
Two weeks back, he had come outside my house with his girlfriend Revathi to visit my Mum and play with Buddy my dog. Buddy was given to me by Ranjit as well.Unfortunately, my Mum wasn't around and he never got to come see my new place. During the wake, people kept mentioning that before one passes away, they would do or say things that would somehow affect the loved ones. Ranjit for that instance, took and insurance two months before his passing and said many things to his closed ones about his funeral arrangements and etc.
The impact of the bike skidding had damaged his body badly. His head had gone through the green divider and the helmet had smashed into pieces. The alcohol percentage in his body was really high. The pillion is in ICU in a very critical condition.
Memories of him saying and doing the most sweetest things kept flashing in my head. I remember him taking charge of my 21st birthday party and him always being protective of me in clubs. He used to pick me up after kinder garden and buy me all the sweets that I asked for. He was there while I was growing up and was there when I needed a brotherly figure around.
I pray for his soul to rest in peace. And I hope time will heal Revathi's aching heart. She was supposed to get married to him this year. All hopes and dreams have been crashed.
His sudden departure has made me realise how I've been so ignorant to the people around me. Life is so unpredictable and death comes without an invitation of clue. It's time I start cherishing the people around me cause since death is so unpredictable, I might loose them someday and regret not letting them know that I care and love them.
And pls........for those of you who know of people who drink and drive, pls pls pls pls let them know about Ranjit's death.

My Short Getaway.... / 2/8/08
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna....
Never Say Goodbye...Cause It Kills the Hope Of Meeting Again.....
Good afternoon one and all...
The solitary wine drinking got me high. I watched Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna with that "high feeling." Cried like a baby. I woke up with puffy eyes and I hate looking into the mirror now. Tried avoiding my reflection in the toilet. Lol. More concealer Will go under the eyes.
I didn't like the short getaway. It's made me cry more in solitude. I get these mini outburst of emotions and so I walk away from the source of annoyance. I'm getting bored being cooped in here and I'm contemplating on borrowing some dvds and heading home soon. I miss my bed, my dog and my room. I've grown attached to that messy, untidy and needsagooddusting room of mine.
I'm loving all things hindi. On top of my list would be, Shah Rukh Khan. Then it's got to be Ramit Dave and Sonia Randawa. =]
The squirrel is somewhere on the list as well. =]
Sundeep made me sad by telling me that Shah Rukh Khan was bisexual. Booo.....Rumours...but he was super insistent and said he knew the guy who slept with him. =p Whatever.
I want to learn hindi. I need help. Watching movies is not helping me understand the language. I need help.
Firstly, I need a list of good movies that I should watch.
Secondly, I need to know how I can learn how to speak hindi. I checked up the language centres and they are charging like 1500 dollars!!! Help needed!!

What's It Supposed To Mean? / 2/7/08
An angels smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passions a prison, you cant break free
First day of the long holidays was spent in pumproom and I-rumours. Nila had some friends over at Pumproom and she invited me to come along at 11 pm while I was about to dozz off. Rushed and got out of the house in less then 15 mins. Getting a cab wasn't easy. I like Pumproom. You meet people from all walks of life and they are really friendly. So, random people kept coming up to us asking where we were from and what we were doing and getting to know more about Singapore. Interesting night. Met many, got high and loved the live band.
I-rumours was an eye opener. It's a Chinese "strip" tease club. China women clad in G-string danced on a huge stage while the crowd cheered and ogled. Lol! Shaun and Santino the twins got more excited when the fast numbers were played and they cheered louder. Ha ha! I left early because there was too much going through my head that night and I needed to get up early the next day anyways.
"You are a challenge" I was told. "Nice to know," I thought. The conversations are becoming more complex. So much is said indirectly and every time I open up, the wall gets thicker. Never mind. I should ignore. Maybe that's best.
What was supposed to be a "time together, talk together" plan became a gambling meet. I felt outnumbered so I shut up and watched movies and enjoyed the wine all by myself. Nothing is going to change. It will be the way it's supposed to be. Maybe this is a message for me. Time will tell. But, how so when I am being rushed for a decision based on empty words and timely affection? Oh how oh how?
