Kong Xi Fat Choi

Gong Xi Fa Chai to all non-racist chinese makkals! Pardon my spelling if its cai n not chai,anyway its the thought that counts right.Im currently in the midst of my 4 day break and i finally studied today. :) Yesterday was dedicated to my sugar plum who just came back from a chalet,missed her loads even though it was just a couple of nights she was missing.Haha.It feels so weird to sleep at night without talking to her as its been the norm for the past 4 years.Ok anyway the usual reasons on y a person fail to update his/her blog,workload in school has been taking its toll and by the time i plan to blog something,my body gives up on me.Nothing much has happened since the last time i blogged,a couple of meetings with baby,one was to the library which went better than planned.We have decided we should head to the library more often. :) N the other was to the new n improved Jurong Point,they really do have some spanking new shops there now.So many shops and so many interesting stuffs to buy.We swensened and walked around,bought for baby this sweet lil scarf tat she is yet to wear for me. 'Glares lightly' We stopped by this new seafood restaurant tat looked posh but the signboard resembled like the ones they have in coffeeshops,ok my point is they had all this live seafood in those tanks located outside the restaurant and thats where baby and i saw this really really huge crabs.Seriously those things resemble creatures from some horror flick,am planning to go there soon just to try those crabs. Hahahah.





I will be having my exams in exactly 3 weeks time before i have an even longer break of 7 weeks.I am pretty much confident for most of my modules,a B for most is certainly in sight but alas..After a bloody long time,i have been made to look dumb by this module of C-programming.Im like the weakest in class where tat module is concerned and i just cant seem to absorb those irritating data into my brain.Its not that i have not been trying and it doesnt help if ur lecturer is those boring ones who teach exactly from the book n goes at fast speed,goodness noes where he is rushing to.Most of my classmates have already done this module before for at least a good six months or so they dunt find it a problem.There you have it,my cause of discomfort in school right now,all i know is tat i have 3 weeks to sort it out.God bless.I actually thought i was going to struggle in my maths module and to think im doing quite well for all my maths tests. Life. Anyway i realise it not the time to feel sorry for myself,anything is possible if u put ur mind to it.Lets wait n see.


I found this in a Facebook group.
Just for Fun - Outlandish Statements
Description:
You arrive one hour late to a party and find out you are the first one to arrive.

You spend ten minutes fake arguing with your guests who insist on washing their coffee cups.

You think it's perfectly normal to call someone who's 30 years younger than you "anna" just because he's behind a counter.

Your idea of a romantic night out is to eat mutton rolls watching a Tamil movie in a run down theater.

You accidentally walk into an oor picnic and walk out with ten large trophies.

You wear a suit to a wedding...and you are only 3 years old.

The wedding takes an hour and the group pictures take five.

Your mom and sister together own more jewelery than a Chinese jewelery store

Your parents' idea of a vacation is to go down to the temple in Pittsburgh.

You talk for an hour at the front door when leaving someone's house.

The second your guests leave the house, your parents start talking about them.

Your parents think going to McDonald's is a night out...nice break from takeouts from Babu Catering.

You rent a cassette from the grocery store, it's been dubbed 6 times...and you return it 3 months later.

You go to a Tamil Cultural program only to find one baratha natyam and six hip hop shows.

You think wearing a bullet proof vest is part of the normal attire for a dinner & dance.

You eat more mutton before 9 am than most people do in a month.

You are somehow related to every new friend you meet

Your remote control is still in its plastic packet

You get a 95% on a test and your parents ask 'What happened to the other 5%?!'

You stare at tamil people when the walk by

You see married couples kissing on TV but have never your mom and dad get within 3 feet of each another.

Your parents never address each other by name.

When you get your first part-time job, your parents expect you to give them half.

Your mother has a minor dispute with her sister-in law and doesn’t talk to her for 10 years.

Your parents say Swiss instead of Switzerland, Germany is German and England is London.

You transited through Germany but claim you were born in Sri Lanka.

You go to a party and your aunt comments on how your skin colour has changed.

You watch a Tamil wedding tape and all the songs from Roja are dubbed in it.

You have a token white/Chinese person as guests, and they all sit at the same table.

When the supply teacher took attendance and there was a sudden pause, you put your hand up and said "here."

You shortened your name to make it sound Anglo.

You have dinner at 10 pm.

When your parents say 'BBC' they don't mean the news station but your uncle Nathan or aunty Kamala.

It's normal for all the relatives to bathe the groom on his wedding day.

Your parents drive half way across the city to 'Basic Foods' just to save a quarter off toilet paper.

You KNOW that your promiscuous second cousin on your father's side is pregnant even before she does.

Your aunties tease you about a particularly eligible cousin....and you like it!!

You can be tried at the war crimes tribunal if you go to a foreign country and don't visit ALL your relatives there.

You were the only kid that took a three course meal of pittu, fried egg, and banana to school.

You serve all your guests tea with milk and 5 spoons of sugar.

You only stop putting more rice on your guest's dinner plate 7 times after they tell you to stop.

anytime you speak back to your parents, you get:

" I toiled my life for you, and this is how you repay me"- Naanga eppadi khasta pattathukku nee ithuvum kathaipa ithukku melayum kathaipa"

Any girl in her tweens is subjected to - "eppa kundu poda poringal" - in terms of menstruation - nice symbolic metaphor..naan enna Osama Bin Laden-ah illati hiroshima-va?..Bloody fools

If you are a girl, you are expected to come home before dark- however if its a son. "ok rasa poitu vaa..kavanam enna" .....- adi serrupaala

any word starting with an S , is actually pronounced beginning with "Is". ie: School= Is-kool

You know that you're Tamil when some one is sick at your home, your relatives will bring HORLICKS.

You know that you're Tamil when halfway through your shower you realize that your Head and Shoulders Shampoo is gone and has been replaced by Shiyakkai Shampoo.

You know that you're Tamil when you walk in to another Tamil family's house and they have the same furniture and dining set as yours!

You know that you're Tamil when your Mom is scared of every size of DOG!

You know you're Tamil when you bring mutton rolls, casseri and vadai to your school's bake sale.

You know you're Tamil when your parents expect you to know every word in the English dictionary. If you don't, they'll ask what they teach you in school.

You know you are Tamil when you put your jewelry in a biscuit tin.

You know you're tamil when your parents tell you should be getting a 100% in English because you speak it fluently.

You know you're Tamil when you use your dishwasher and oven as a storage area.


You know you are Tamil when the sofa in the living room is covered with a bed sheet.

You know you're Tamil when your house smells of curry powder and spices but you don't realize it until your White friends come over.

I have no qualms about saying that it has to be an Indian soul who did up this list. I admit that yes some of the things in that list do happen but i find it dumb tat you actually want to do up something like this to embarrass your own race.Its actually a group that exists in Facebook and we have so many of our Indian friends joined there proudly endorsing such stupidity. Being an Indian is your identity,even if you are not proud of it,there are others who are. If u feel you are too good to be an Indian,jolly well change your race.

Approaching our 4th year together, seems like it was just yesterday i held your hand for the first time n i still get scolded for holding your hand the wrong way.Haha.Love you babygirl,get well soon.

Hello 2009 .Cya 2008.

N now to my first post of 2009.This new year was very much better than the last for me,the eve as usual was spent at home with parents and sister.Started off the new year with prayers at home before paying my grandma a visit,spent some time with her before going down to baby's place.I was planning to surprise her over at her place on the eve and spending the first min of the new year with her but baby already had plans. Nevertheless what matters most is that i met her on new year's day and spent quality time together and not forgetting my new year gifts. :P After that i went back home to get ready to attend a gathering at my auntie's place,that sums up my new year and i was satisfied with the way my year started off because i managed to meet most of the people who mean a lot to me. Oh btw,a million thanks to all those who wished me. Appreciate it. :)

Im not sure how 2009 is penned out for me but 2008 was memorable in its own right.The year 2008 started with me still unable to get over the fact that im no longer an ITE student,that's cos i have graduated.Its just that the two years there were simply wonderful as i have mentioned numerous times before.Anyway that was that and than i started work as a technician at the airport,the workload was high but pay was higher and in the first three months i worked there,i managed to improve my bank balance considerably.I would say that on the financial side last year was good as i could pay for things more often using cash from my own wallet.March came by and so did the troubles.Mas Selamat Kastari magically vanished and my reservist duties came calling.Meetings with my gf reduced drastically and the next few months were mostly spent in some remote island or some run down training shed.Those few months were definitely the worst of the year,without question.March was also the month where i got the results of my poly application and sadly it was deemed unsuccessful.I got to give a special mention to my loved ones who encouraged me at the point of time,namely my parents,my gf and my best friend.My dad suggested meeting the MP and to see how it goes from there and thanks to Mr.Alvin yeo and his letter of recommendation i find myself in Singapore Poly.July was my Certificate of Merit award ceremony,definitely one of the most proudest moments of my life going up on stage and being recognised as the Ite class of 08.August.Babygirl's birthday.Haha,i can still remember the look on her face when i surprised her on midnight on her birthday.One of the highlights of the year. :P That was followed by the Sinda award ceremony in September,it certainly feels good when you get appreciated for your hard work.I hope that will continue in the years to come as i know im not going to stop working hard anytime soon.October.I officially became a student of SP n the journey is continuing and im enjoying every min of it. :) N there you have it,a summary of my year of 2008.Good or bad,i know its going to be a hell of a ride in 2009 so hang on tight. :)

2008 wasnt the best of years for the couple i must say.Our meetings reduced drastically over the course of the year so much so that we were unable to meet even on Valentines day and our 3rd year anniversary and than like all couples we had some nasty arguments and the problems that came with it to content with.Our plans to have a mini getaway was stalled after the problem in Bangkok n etc.Amidst the problems,i can safely say that we got to know more about each other and that has definitely strengthened our love even more.Its true when people say things happen for a reason.I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to my gf for not being able to spend enough quality time last year and doing all those things we wanted to do.N thanks for being ever so understanding during my reservist call ups n for showing me all the love i needed during my times of distress.Ur special and im glad that your mine. :)As far as this year goes,we are definitely going to have more meetings and loads more fun.We have certainly had a good start havent we baby ? :P

Presenting to you..Our Holland Village escapade...
