Jay's at a camp in Pulau Ubin. =(

Today's his 2nd day. =(

He'll be back Friday night. =(

I won't be able to see him on Saturday, so it's gotta be next week.

:,(

I miss that stupid man so much! I want to be able to call and disturb him whenever I feel like it. But I can't. :-(

The reception is frikkin bad at that island! Bah.

Well at least I got to hear his lovely sleepy voice last night.

Sigh.

I miss your sleepy eyes. :(

PLAY THAT FUNKAY ME-YOOSIC WHIIITEBOOOOY!

:-D

p.s : changed my song.
p.p.s: duh.

Come on shake yer body baby do that CONGA!!!

Ahem.

Bored.

*does the jiggy*

New song!

I cldn't get a clearer version, sadly. And if you listen closely, some parts seem too abrupt. This is a lousy version and it's the best I cld get, can you believe that? Oh well. I love this song.

I've realised that I don't like the title of my blog, the 'sand in my hair' one. I found it a little stupid-sounding when I put it up, but I went on with it as it was by nature a sort of an announcement that that is, actually, sand in my hair, not dandruff. Didn't really work, as some of you still thought it was dandruff. *looks in the general direction of Kay and grumbles and mutters*

By the way, it is NOT dandruff! It's sand, promise. I do have dandruff on some days, though. Sad huh? Today's one of them. Extra dry scalp. I've just soaked it with herbal oil(which smells pretty nice actually) and am going to shampoo it all out now, before me and my sis make our way to Bugis. She's in a bad mood, btr not make her wait.

Toodle-loo!

I got this poem thru email:

When I born, I Black,
When I grow up, I Black,
When I go in Sun, I Black,
When I scared, I Black,
When I sick, I Black,
And when I die, I still black..

And you White fella,
When you born, you Pink,
When you grow up, you White,
When you go in Sun, you Red,
When you cold, you Blue,
When you scared, you Yellow,
When you sick, you Green,
And when you die, you Gray..

And you calling me Colored ??

Makes sense, if you ask me.

HAPPY 2006, ppl!

Hope all of you(who deserve it) have a much btr year than the one that just ended. And I hope those of you who aren't rich get richer, me included.

=)

Jay, I'm sorry, I really am. I hope you forgive my extravagant show of stupidity. And I loveyouloveyouloveyouloveyouloveyouloveyouloveyouloveyouloveyou.

2 days to 2006. Finally!

I can't wait for the party on Saturday! Babu and his sister are organising it at the Khalsa Association. The insides of the place are alrite, but personally, I don't like the area it's located at. It's full of construction workers. I don't hold much against them, but I've walked there alone at night before, and I felt such nervousness and vulnerablity. It's times like that that make me wish I weren't female, for just a minute. Oh well. Thank god my wishes don't easily come true, cos I love being female.

I'm every woman, it's all in meeeeeee.

I'm in an exceptionally stupid mood and I think it shows. Mmm.

Back to Saturday. I'm going to wear this gorgeous curve-hugging fencing-style black v-neck and long-sleeved top that's got an extremely see-thru back. Due to the see-thru-ness of the back, I have to wear a waist-length tube inside it. I wld rather not wear anything inside, but a single but powerful word to describe what's stopping me wld be 'Mom'. I got the top 3 or 4 years ago, and have worn it only once, if I'm not wrong. I love it so much and am dying to wear it again! With my hot new minimalistic-ish shoes!

*shakes ass*

Oh, plus pants ofcos. Tight grey pants. Was wondering if I shld wear my tight black ones but Nan says the grey wld go btr. And I must agree now, cos all black might be stunning, but it's not my style. Also, I've the perfect sequinned grey bag to go with it.

~~~ B I M B O - A L E R T ~~~

Ah, mom's screaming. Gtg.

Happy New Year in advance!

I'm gonna do a tiny Quotable Quote after yonks of not. Here goes:

Quotable Quote

Goood jaaab ('job', in an indian accent), goood jaaab.

- Sash, praising herself for taking out the trash.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, everybody!

I spent the first 3 hrs of Christmas at Orchard Rd, and man, was it FUN!

It was soooo crowded, and everybody was spraying foam at each other in big groups! There was so much screaming, squealing, laughing. I LOVED IT! Such a wonderful atmosphere! I enjoyed myself tremendously!!

Guys, all of us definitely have to go next year. No two ways abt it!




Baby, being carried by my mom, looking like a refugie!




My 3rd sis and me at Starbucks. I'd reccommend the Toffe Nut coffee thingie to anyone who's nuts abt coffee.




Foam in my hair!


Ah, gtg. Jay'll be here any minute and we're gonna have lunch at White Sands.

See ya!

I love hot shoes and I cannot lie!

I got sexy shoes today. I love em love em love em.

LOVE EM!!

I'll get a pic of my darlings up soon...if I do rmbr to.

Oh, Jay got me the Saggitarius Barbie doll! I love her. She's so frikkin pretty! Pretty pretty pretty!

*floats*

I've named her Crystal cos she's all decked out in cool blue and silver. Actually thought of naming her Lake, but it'd be a wee bit too eccentric, even for my standards. So Crystal it is! G.J the hot Californian beach girl Barbie doll with big feet has got a friend. :-D

It's my sister's birthday now; I hear the tearing open of chocolate wrappers. The comp is definitely not the place to be at.

Toodle-loo!

So, I'm 19. Do I feel any different? I'd have to say no...after much consideration. 19 is just a number and I've a year added to my young age, is all. Maturity(character-wise) doesn't come with age, I can find LOTSA living proof for that. Me, I'm waiting for maturity to hit me in the face before it settles down in my brain. Wait..no, scratch that.

Truth be told, I'm not waiting to mature in thought and the like, cos I'm pretty fine the way I am. Very fine, in fact. Sure, I do lack some facets that might improve my life, and the lives of others arnd me, but really, I don't see why anyone shld cultivate something that isn't part of them to begin with. I mean, it's not like I'm going on killing sprees or making it a point to feed the lions at the zoo just to experience the thrill of defying authority or something stupid like that. I'm a very behaved person...if you really think abt it. Therefore, I see no need to consciously change my child-like ways. Child-like, not childish. There is a difference, however seemingly small. Being child-like doesn't mean you're immature.

Besides, what's the big deal abt being mature anyway?

Why shld I give a damn abt maturing when I am happy with who I am? Frankly, it's quite a big thing for me to be happy with myself. Think abt it. I started on a diploma course that I knew for a fact that lots of others were clamouring for a place in, but I stubbornly quit it cos I hated it and am now 19 with absolutely no educational achievement except for 'O' Levels which is like no achievement at all. It's very easy for me to feel like a loser with no future, but I don't, not one bit. I'll be putting myself thru school next year. I know I'm young, and even if I weren't, I'd know there're options out there no matter what. If being mature means I shld put ppl like me down, stop being idealistic(which I'm damn sure I'm not), 'behave' myself in public, and stop making decisions by myself and listen more, I'm not interested.

I'm leaving it to time and more suitably, my experiences to teach me btr ways of living, or dealing with difficulties and situations and such. I don't have the habit of listening unless it's absolutely essential. What I do have the habit of is jumping in and seeing what I can do from there. That's how I do it, so they shld get used to it.

To hell with maturity. I've got other things to see to.

P.S: This was supposed to be a happy post...so the next one I do will be a happy and bimbotic one. :-p

P.P.S: Jay, this isn't abt you. =)

So much to blog abt! Will do it later tonight. =)

See ya later alligator!

New look!

And Happy 19th to me!! :-D

I've not been online much these days. It shows, doesn't it? *yawns*

My 3rd sister and her hubby have flown off to India on business and will be back next week. I got them a flying-off present(I was the ONLY one who got them anything, weirdly) which Jay helped me choose; Jack Daniels-centred chocolates. I have one word for you:

OMG.

Ok, that's actually an abbreviation of 3 words, but I loved the chocs. Makes me wish I got them for myself. Oh well...since I don't really want to afford extravagances such as liquor chocolates, it'd be nice if somebody bought them for me. And since my birthday's in less than 20 days (19TH DECEMBER, PPL), it'd be the most perfect time and opportunity for me to be granted some of my teeny, wee widdle, eccentric wishes, such as GETTING LIQUOR CHOCS. No need to get the Jack Daniels one (though that'd be pretty darned great) cos it costs double as much as the bars do. Just a nice and pretty-cheap-in-comparison bar of champagne chocs will do. :-D Maybe Remy Martin. I want to try the vodka ones too. :-D

Oh, and if anyone's not sure what to get me, just sms me and ask. :-D

Sigh...who am I kidding. I'm not gonna get anything unless I hold a birthday party/dinner. Me and my friends don't even meet much. Mmm...2 weeks to go to meet up and get in touch. *ponders*

November is gonna end. Which means, 2005 is gonna end real soon too. =)

I am so excited! I'm looking forward to the rest of 2005, and more than that, to the beginning 2006 and beyond. I foresee more freedom given to me(by whom else, my mom ofcos), more things to worry abt(what else, $$$$$!!), thinner legs(hopefully), better skin(the sunburn's peeling off), and oh, have I mentioned more freedom?

My mom's been treating me more like an independent person(which is what I hope I'll be in time to come) lately. It feels much btr this way...and I don't have to explain to her exactly where I'm going, with whom, and what specific time I'll be home by whenever I go out. And, she almost nvr calls when I'm out. That is one part I am absolutely freaked out by. Well there is the exception of the time I was stayin over at Nan's...I called her back only at 1am. Stupid, stupid me. She was convinced there was something fishy going on, for which I don't blame her at all. Ahem. *darts eyes*

My family's gonna move, most probably late next year. All my sisters wld have settled into their own houses by the middle of 2006, and that wld leave my parents and me. Can you imagine? There're 8 of us in the house now(including Baby) and pretty soon, there'll only be 3 of us to the whole house.

All I can say is, WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

I can't wait for them all to be out[except for Baby though =(] and for my folks and I to move to a smaller place. I'm going to have so much fun! Sure, it'll feel weird having not much ppl arnd all of a sudden, but hey, I can get used to that, with no problems at all!!! :-D

I won't be living in that house for very long though. Cos I'll probably be married in some years. *smiles shyly at Jay* My sisters say that at the rate I'm going, I'll be married next year. Stooopid ladies. *rolls eyes* They've always thought I'll get married early, even before I met Jay...no idea why. It's just something they sorta know, they say. Just like how we knew my 2nd sis will get pregnant immediately after gettin married. And man, was it immediate! We used to call her 'highly fertile individual', and now, we've given her a slight promotion, which is the name of 'Fertility Goddess'. And me, I personally prefer the name 'cow', which she truly hates me for. :-D

Ah, time for work. Till next time. =)

Less than a month to go for the contract to end. Less than a month. Wow.

OHMYGODIAMSOHAPPYABOUTTHATTHATIWANNASTRIPANDRUNTHROUGHORCHARDROAD!!!

*strips and runs thru orchard rd*

I was having Mrityun baby in my arms this afternoon, rocking him to sleep. I watched his eyes close very slowly while his lashes made slight, fluttering movements. He was finally in slumberland, and I found I cld not take my eyes off his sweet, tender little face. His lids were trembling a little, as he was dreaming. I rmbr wondering what he cld possibly be dreaming about.

He then smiled. The tiniest, most beautiful bloom of smile. The absolute preciousness of it...it felt like a boon to me to have been able to see it.

The unthinkable happened.

I cried.

Me, I'm going bonkers. Somebody call the madhouse for me, pls?

My sister sent me, among her clients/associates, this email:

Have an absolutely
FLAMBOYANT
Deepavali!


With Warmest Wishes,

****** Pte Ltd


And I replied:

Flamboyance? The notion is entirely alien to me as I am sadly NOT deprived of your presence. MUAHAHAHAHA!


Dhanya


And she retorts:

A big 'BYE THERE!' to your nonsense!

All the very best in your pursuit to grow your lips! Ha, ha, ha!

Love,

Vidhya Edathi



Man do I belong to a weird family. *rolls eyes*

Anyways, I got a top today! It's a pretty, green long v-neck with brown lace and some shiny stuff. Here it is!



Jay liked it and so did I, so I got it! :-D Oh oh, and I've been searching for weeks for a big, comfy bag that I can throw things into and carry with almost any outfit. And I FINALLY got it! (yes Sindhu, I did!) Jay did some bargaining for me and got it $2 down. (I love you Jay!!) So, $16 for a bag. Not bad at all!

:-D

Halloween's come and gone, and all I did on that day was climb ladders and wipe walls and cupboards. I know, I was all excited abt dressing up foolishly and prancing abt but the thing is, I sorta forgot that Deepavali's the next day. I cld have forced my mom to let me stay out real late(amazingly pathetic, I know) on a normal day but staying out on Deepavali Eve is a big no no cos it's family time. So all I did was bitch to myself(and to Jay) and promise myself that next year, Halloween will be TOTALLY different. Now if the Hindu calendar decides on November 1st again for 2006's Deepavali, I'm gonna hunt them down(whoever they are) and castrate(I'm pretty sure they must be male) them.

I shall move on to brighter stuff!

I enjoyed Deepavali tremondously! It's weird how the arrival of the day always and automatically gives me such a good feeling; I feel warmth and fuzz in my stomach(and it's not just the rum cakes and the baking soda (I have no idea why and how, but this keeps becoming a link to a search for baking soda whenever I publish it. like wtf? is the same for you guys?) in the baked stuff). My sister put up flickering lights at our windows and they looked so pretty! I went to sleep with them flickering away on my smiling face on Deepavali eve. Absolutely love that feeling.

On Deepavali itself, we woke up and bathed and stuff and prayed, and finally got down to eat breakfast at abt noon. You might think it's just a once in a while thing, having a meal this late, but it's pretty normal behaviour for my family, y'know. We always have our meals late, and it's only once in a blue moon that we have them on time. There was once when my whole family sat down to a dinner of pizza and rojak and 1am. Weird shits, yeah?

Well anyways, we had an absolutely scrumptious breakfast of mutton curry and thosai(I LOVE that combo) wihle watching tv. The tv was on the WHOLE day and my mom didn't scream even once, at least, not abt the tv being on. Sweet, eh? So guests came, and guests went, and I spent a very lazy afternoon, waiting for the arrival of night, and ofcos, of Nan and Jay. I'm sorta used to waiting for Nan to come, y'know. I thought I was always late, but my god, she surpasses me by shitloads! I'm almost always late(yes, ALMOST always) but you can be sure(most of the time) that I won't be more than half an hour late. She, however, will be at least an hour late. You might say it's my karma catching up on me, but I don't really mind waiting for her...cos the rewards are great. *winks lecherously*

Jay came first(wearing lovely white cotton pants) at 7ish, bringing wajit with him. I loved it! His mom made it. Time to make friends with the lady, really. Good wajit. *floats in wajit-flavoured saliva* He sat down, and talked to my uncle whom Nan(who came a while later, wearing a gorgeous off-white netty-silky punjabi suit) had apparently worked with once. Small world, eh?

After they had dinner, we hopped over to Babu's place. I like his house; reminds me of the house I had in woodlands years ago. Miss that place. =( Oh well.

I had a really really mini-dinner there, just cld not eat. Too much rum cake! It was nice seeing Genie, Donkey, Babu and Prabu again. Bunch of whackjobs! Umm..very nice whackjobs at that. *gulps*

Nan's been waiting for ages to watch Chandhramukhi and they were showing it on tv, so we we decided to stay till the movie ended. Nan was freaked!!



Aren't you freaked too? Specially for you, Nanio. *smiles sweetly*



Nan and me, at Babu's house. Jay took this pic. I look like I've got something stuck up my arse. (Shut up, twinnie.) Weirdly, Nan looks like she's grabbing my boob.







Prabu took this. I look eww.



Ah...eye-candy! Madhu's sticking her tongue out at me.



She looks so beautiful in her traditional clothes!



Mrityun baby's anklet-clad feet. :-D

Ah, there are now a fresh batch of visitors in the house. Gotta go make tea. Toodle-loo!

P.S: Note to self: Plan for Halloween 2006.
