It's the last day of 2007.

WoooooooooOoOoOOOOHOOOOooOooOooooo!!!!

Are you woohoo-ing too?

If you're not, I think you shld. I don't know how 2007 was like for you, but it was pretty good on the whole for me. It felt good turning 21, but I imagine the space of time left to 22 will be lots more 'happening', as it is now.

I hope you had a good year. If it was shitty, you probably need changes done to your life. Or maybe, you're just down with some god-awful luck.

Whatever it is, Happy 2008.


:)

---------------------------------------------------------------

My christmas began at New Asia Bar. Strange, there wasn't a huge crowd of merry-makers. Yeah we did have a slightly hard time finding a table, but you cld see every single person's face and outfit very clearly, eliminating the need to squint and do weird head twists. We did have fun, tho.

Christmas Day saw me at the airport with my family.

I think I have mentioned this before and I will again; Popeyes bloody rocks socks off. You have not lived till you've tried their mashed potatoes with their (totally sodium bicarbonate-ed)buttermilk biscuits. Hea-VEN.

My new white pants are quite unlucky, y'know. First time wearing them out was Christmas and I got coke spilt all over me. Not all over my black top, nope; alllll over my spotless, pure white pants. I was a terribly good sport tho, and accepted my accidental pants-assaulter's packet of tissue and profuse apologies with smiles and "it's ok"s. The counter guy at Popeyes gave the lower half of my body a very genuinely pained, sympathetic expression.

Yesterday, when I got home from the movie(I Am Legend rocked MY socks off) with Jay, I was admiring my white-panted ass in the mirror and to my dismay, spotted awful yellow stains on my left arse cheek. Upon closer inspection, they proved to be curry stains, which I probably got by seating myself comfortably at the obviously not very clean curry house we had dinner at.

GRRR.

If they get stained the next time I wear them, I'm pronouncing them frikkin unlucky and will nvr wear them out again. Yep.

Madhu baby and I. In my new pair of glasses!

He was in a really festive mood.

Beautiful.

Beautiful too! :-D

--------------------------------------------------------------------

If you knew me at all, you'd know that I'm a big fan of The Kinks. Here's a song of theirs that I'm currently into.

Big Sky looks down on all the people looking up at the Big Sky.
Everybody pushing one another around
Big Sky feels sad when he sees the children scream and cry
But the Big Sky is too big to let it get him down.

Big Sky too big to cry
Big Sky too high to see
People like you and me

One day we'll be free, we won't care, just you see
'Til that day can be, don't let it get you down
When I feel that the world is too much for me
I think of the Big Sky, and nothing matters much to me.

Big Sky looks down on all the people who think they got problems
They get depressed and they hold their head in their hands and cry.
People lift up their hands and they look up to the Big Sky
But the Big Sky is too big to sympathize

Big Sky's too occupied
Though he would like to try
And he feels bad inside
Big Sky's too big to cry

One day we'll be free, we won't care, just you wait and see
'Til that day can be, don't let it get you down.

It's called Big Sky, ofcos. Interesting, innit?

I am soooooo glad Kay's ok, and enjoying herself immensely too! I have concluded that overseas travel with colleagues shldn't be done, unless absolutely needed. Ppl behave differently in different settings, and professional relationships shldn't be sujected to potential wreckage. *nods in a hopefully wise manner*

Wah, I miss her ah! I read her blog and cld almost hear her excitedly talkin abt her experiences, with a lot of 'heyy!!'s and 'yeeeeaahhh's. Too bad I won't be free to receive her at the airport on Sunday. Work. Oh well.

Too bad lor.

*giggles*

Call me when you read this! You and your useless line/phone.

Speaking of Sunday. My mom's called a few relatives over for a post-birthday celebration for me. I didn't want it, initially, but once my mom mentioned the possibility of me getting cash presents, I realised that entertaining on Sunday night's a duty I have to do, as a family member. Yeep.

Oh, Jay's family is invited, since they weren't at the chalet party. Can't rob them of a chance to give me a gift, can I? My mom agrees.

Can't wait for christmas eve!! I wonder what I shld wear. Just got a new pair of white jeans, and white heels too. I shall try dig up some top that's green or red. Or both!

Weeeeee!!!

I told Jay I'll be going offline like, a few min after he goes off(which was 12+am) but here I am still, slightly sleepy and sadly, not high at all.

Vodka and rose syrup don't make a good drink. Honestly. I'm finishing it up cos there's vodka in it and there's no point wasting perfectly good Smirnoff. And it helps to a certain degree that the drink's a deep, gorgeous vibrant pink.

Babu was online and he felt the need to help relieve me of by boredom my getting me to write a testimonial for him.

You know what's coming next. And ofcos, here it is;


And then ah, I give you this thing hor. Cos I'm like, damn bored.

Sigh.

J- Jelly wld fall off if made to sit on your head on a big plate cos your head ain't flat.
A- African-american, you are not.
Y- Yasmin is my hindu cousin and I bet you're damn confused abt that now.
A- Auvai paatti was this good old lady who wrote stuff that you probably had to memorise in primary school. I dunno if you enjoyed it, I didn't.
P- Pigs might fly, but you nvr will.
R- "Raamaayee vaisukku vanthutta!" That's a line from an old movie.
A- Ass. You know I can't resist the use of that word. That's why there're so many 'A's in your name.
S- Sentosa! I miss it. Bunch of us go once your leg's ok?
A- All my ideas for 'A' have been used up.
D- Dhanya!! That's the best 'D' word/name there is.

:-D


He didn't approve of it, tho. Told me to write him another, simple one-worders, and more truthful this time. I wasn't in the mood for being nice so all I cld come up with were stuff like jackass and asswipe so I gave up, esp since he had a 5min time limit for me to prove my intellect/imagination/creativity.

*rolls eyes*

I feel like watching a movie and falling asleep on the sofa. It's a luxury that I can afford now, since there's no work tmr, aaand, cos I got my new glasses and don't need to depend on uncomfy contacts for sight. They're pretty, and kinda similar to my old ones. Nothing can beat the oldies tho. Sigh. How I miss those cow-like designs.

Bah.

Here's a pic of the old ones.




You can't see the white and black designs at the sides much in this image, sadly.






This is my new pair. I just got this super unclear pic taken, for immediate posting. Yeah, it looks good. Just not as good as the cow pair. Oh well.

I'll miss you always, Cowframes. R.I.P.

I am now 21.

I don't feel like talking much abt how it feels and all my concerns cos my worries bore me. I am happy tho. Really happy. I'm finally 21 and despite all that I've not achieved, I feel a sense of contentment. That's not to be confused with complete satisfaction, tho.

I've been looking forward to so much and now, I just feel like there's more to look forward to. While I have the time of my life, ofcos.

Simply put, I'm lovin' it. (da-da-da-daa-daaa) :-D

------------------------------------------------------------------

Didn't go to Malaysia afterll. Passport's expired and the dad pointed it out to me 20 min after I was absolutely ready, dressed and packed and raring to go.

Not farny ah.

Blardy Ilyas had a ball of a time laughing at me. He actually called me up, laughed a bit of ass off, and got me to call him back, and managed to laugh his entire posterior off. I've nvr heard him crow that hard before! It seems, if the same thing had happened to any other friend of his, he'd be sympathetic. But it happening to me somehow makes the whole matter frikkin loads funnier.

-_-

He felt it neccessary to embarrass me further, this time publicly, so he came up with this little gem to leave as a comment on my friendster profile;

This is an urgent msg from Singapore Immigration & Registration department(SIR).

Attn: Miss Dhanya

It has come to our knowledge that your passport has expired. MORE importantly, it is well documented that you realised it just before your travel out of Singapore( wahahahahhahahahahaha!!)

ahem... so pls do renew ur passport so that this hilarious... i mean, this incident does not occur again.. or will it? (wahahhahahahahahhah)

Yours truly,
*****

:D




I replied. Oh diiiiiiiiiid I reply!



This is an urgent msg from the office of Ms Dhanya.

Attn: Mr. Frikkin 'A'

It has come to our knowledge that you lack intellect. We urge you to have your skull filled at the nearest gas station. Due to the abundance of space to be filled, and exorbitant oil pricings, we are willing to cover the cost.

There is no need to thank us as in fact, we believe your agreement would be a favour to us.

Our gratitude is yours, in advance.

Yours truly,
@&#(&@&&^@@

:-D



HUR!!!

------------------------------------------------------------


Christmas eve will be at New Asia Bar for me. I don't think there's a bar that's more suitable for celebrating the birth of christ. (Hahahaha.)

Who's in?

Sonia baby sent me this email.

When you have a 'I HATE MY JOB' day try this:

On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson . Be very sure you get this brand. When you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed. Change into very comfortable clothing and sit in your favorite chair.

Open the package and remove the thermometer. Now, carefully place it on a table or a surface so that it will not become chipped or broken. Now the fun part begins. Take out the literature from the box and read it carefully. You will notice that in small print there is a statement:

'Every Rectal Thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson is personally tested and then sanitized'.

Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times, 'I am so glad I do not work in the thermometer quality control at Johnson & Johnson.'

HAVE A NICE DAY AND REMEMBER, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE WITH A JOB THAT IS MORE OF A PAIN IN THE A** THAN YOURS.......................

I love my job and its ice-cream perks!

------------------------------------------------------------

Off to JB, I am. Shld be leavin like... 9 or 10 pm, and will probably be back arnd the same time Monday or early Tuesday.

Hope the spectacles sold there are cute and more importantly, inexpensive. I got contacts from M'sia once or twice but honestly, altho the brands might be the same/similar, the quality is darned low. And they're cheaper only by... SGD15 maximum.

I look foward to seeing my muslim relatives! They give out vibrations of genuine happiness when my family visits, and I love it. I've blogged abt them and how they're muslim while I'm hindu before, like, yonks back. See! (the past 3 yrs have made me less lame, so pls don't stop reading my blog after you visit this link)

My family lacks good relatives to trust cos honestly, almost all of them seriously suck. Really. My father's side is filled with dysfunctional families/ppl. Funerals and functions and death bed visits are always superbly entertaining.

Aaaanyways, my malaysian relatives are pretty good as a whole, so I'm happy to brave the Sunday crowd at the customs to see them. Sounds kinda romantic, doesn't it?

The only somewhat romantic experience I've had there wld be my very first kiss. I was... abt 6, I think, and my 'kissing partner' was a 5-yr-old cousin. We were playing hide & seek with his younger brother so he used that excuse to lead me into a cupboard, and gave me the naughtiest smooch. I was, ofcos, absolutely stunned! He chuckled and opened the cupboard door to find his brother pointing and laughing at us. They both then laughed their way out of the room.

Men.

Oh, by the way, my cousin's a hottie now. He's got this handsome, serious-looking pretty tradional indian muslim man thing going on. Yeeeep.

Ah, must get back to preparing the stock files. I'm beginning to kinda like working on Sundays, esp since my Mondays and Tuesdays are free. And I'm perfecting the art of having very little sleep on Friday and Saturday nights AND smiling while surviving it. Can't wait to start on my course to get busier!

Y'know, doing stuff is more fun than doing nothing at all. :-D

Apparently, I've to be 21 to subscribe to international roaming. I'm not old enough, even tho there're like, only 5 days to my 21st birthday.

Is there a campaign going on against overseas travel by under 21s, that I'm not aware off? Starhub's supremely stupid, I tell you.

The use of the word 'supreme' has reminded me of chicken supreme pizza. I'm hungry!!!

Aaanyways, I need my roaming activitated cos I'm going off to Malaysia this Sunday and will be back on Monday, or Tuesday, latest. Jay says he wants me to stay contactable for 'lou-sing' and the only way I can do that is by topping up my pre-paid line. And using it, ofcos.

Oh oh, Starhub prepaid cards don't have any rules or requirements for international roaming, according to the customer service officer that I spoke to. Lotsa pre/mid/late teenagers that I know of use prepaid lines. Don't those (generally) mischief-prone ppl have to be stopped from running away overseas?!?! Doesn't having a post-paid line mean you can afford it and are probably a gainfully employed, mature adult?!?!?!

Ahhh. Silly.

Life, as I know it, is over!!!

I broke my nail. :(

I'm counting down the hours to my appointment at a nail place at United Square itself. Sadly, it has to be an express manicure, cos Jay'll be here arnd 4.30pm and nail-fixing will only start at 4.15. Oh well.

I broke my nail. :((((

Escalators and the metal base the moving belts are on suck. Suck suck suck SUCK!!

Good news!!

I've decided to love my body. WHOLLY.

I've not been very secure abt my appearance, esp for the past year. That's changed now, not only cos I've lost some weight, buuuut also bcos it's stupid to not love what's mine.

If I cld entirely accept faults in ppl that i love, why can't I accept something far less problematic, like the way my body looks? Actually, I look pretty alright to me. And the bod looks way more than alright to Jay. I shldn't complain.

I'm not fat, and I freely admit it now!

Doesn't mean I'm gonna stop watching what I eat tho. I think everyone shld watch their diet. Don't like, go on a diet, but just be careful; got to eat in moderation. Cooos, you nvr know when your favourite dish is gonna shit on you.

Not as much cheese for me! And chocolates. And rice. And potatoes. Sigh. Oh well.

Moving on to more interesting things (or not), let's talk abt the party.

It was alright, I guess. It was altogether fun, but it was kinda badly planned and there was some tension going arnd. And twinnie had to leave at 12midnight which was when the party actually started, cos we cldn't really drink openly with twinnie's dad arnd.

Babu and his 'adult' ideas for forfeits. *rolls eyes* I got a lapdance from Kay tho, so I'm not complaining much. Weirdly, the bottle nvr pointed at me. I'm almost disappointed.

:(

I had to be at work at 9 the next day!! I have no idea how I managed to be up on time, really. Vel and Nan dropped me off at United Square, and that helped alot. I love that couple.

The rest were at the chalet and twinnie went over in the afternoon only to leave at 7, which is when I actually finished work. *rolls eyes even more* When I was back, only Jay and his family were there. Oh oh oh, Jay and his mom did ALL the washing up and packing for me. All I had to do was make sure what was packed was indeed mine or twinnie's and not the chalet's.

She likes me enough to do my work for me in my absence. Ah, I love her too!!

And Jay, ofcos. :-D

Sigh.

The whole chalet thing's left me feeling kinda empty. Like...un-fulfilled. I'm itching to have a REAL party. Or a holiday. Suggestions?

Ah, I must go. My mommy misses me.

The party's only 4 days away.

OMGTHERE'SSOMUCHTODOANDI'VENOTDONEANYTHINGOHGODJUSTSHOOTMEANDI'LLBEOK!!

P.S: Twinnie's inked, and her wrist's now the best-looking one I've seen so far.
