hols have begun!

the holidays have begun! yyyyyyyyayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! life feels so good you knnow. there is absolutely no guilty feeling! i cant actually watch a movie and simply relax and not feel as though time is being wasted. its sooooo chun!

the concert

i went for the rajhesh vaidhya concert!! oh my god! he was fantastic! do you know that y eyes couldnt match the speed his hands were moving on the veena? his concert was simply mind-blowing i tell you! and you know something?? after his programme, my Yoga sneaked out and found out that rajhesh and his troup were lepaking in one spot. he quickly called me out and i dashed to that spot with him, mom, shamita and sucjita.



i got to talk to him! i was 2 feet away from you know! a few days before the concert, i got his email add from his website and starting emailing him to let him know how big of a fan of him i am. he was so anxious to see me. : )

i then gave him the painting to be autographed. he was damn surprised to see the painting. Yoga took a pic of me with him too!!

isnt this chun????

Yoga's bday
that night was the eve of Yoga's bday. so, after the concert, i went out with Yoga for dinner. he took me to this really fancy north indian restaurant. and dinner was awesome. after that, we just sat in a park nearby klcc and spoke. and i was the first person to wish him for his bday. it was damn romantic wei.. the whole atmosphere and him and i.. *dreamy smile*

i gave him his bday card that night too. it was a mega card you know. took me like forever to come up with it and he loved it. in the card was all our memories for the whole of 2007 till the day he proposed to me. it was so sweet and Yoga was so delighted with it. :)

painting

guess what?? my mom after realising how enthusiastic i am towards the concert that's gonna be held next week, she actually suggested to me to get her artist to do a painting of rajhesh vaidhya so that i can get it autographed after the concert! how chun is that?!!

so, i surfed the net and found a whole lotta pictures of him. i found a perfect one and got it printed so that the artist can collect it tonight. he'll be done with the painting and will pass it to me on wednesday itself. i'm sooooo excited! he has to know that i'm a superbly huge fan of his. gosh, now i really really hope that i actually get to see him after the concert in person so that i can get the painting autographed....

bio homework
my new tuition teacher, ms.jaslin is FANTASTIC wei! no joke. she's really really good in her stuff. and the way she explains stuff to me, there's no way on earth i wont be able to understand and memorise it for life. and she has really made me very hardworking when it comes to bio. she gave me a past-year book which had about 10 question papers and told me to so as much as i can so that she can discuss it with me and point out my mistakes.

and you know what, i actually did all the 10 papers within less than a week and passed it up to her. and she photocopied even more for me the following class. after so many passed year papers, i can actually do 1 question paper within 45 minutes and my info is solid. it feels good for once you know. it really feels good. i always had this confidence for chemistry and maths but never did have it for bio. and now i do. al because of her.

nevertheless, if only my bio lecturer, mdm leela had done exactly that from the beginning of the year, i wouldnt have been spending so much for this tuition. mdm leela doesnt have ANY MASALA in her head la. seriously. it really gets on my nerves you know. its not like she's smart and she doesnt wanna share any of it. she just doesnt know anything! she just looks smart because she's always with the marking scheme which has all the answers for the question. without that, i think she wont even be able to match how much i score for the exams.

when you ask her a question about biology, her standard answers would be:
(a) you should read the textbook, dakshini.
(b) ask your friends, you all should discuss these kind of questions more often!
(c) this is the answer, (refers to marking scheme) you should read the textbook more dakshini.....

this is exactly what happens. you tell me la, dont you think i'll get pissed?!

~ another 4 days ~

few days from now..

i just realised that there are so many things that i'm looking forward to in the month of november. seriously. i always felt that february had the most happenings because of my bday, valentine's, cousin's bdays and all that, but surprisingly, nov 2008 has topped february
i'm actually looking forward to (date order) :
@ rajhesh vaidhya's concert
@ Yoga's birthday
@ exam ending
@ Yoga's fast-breaking
@ anniversary
@ sleep over
@ holiday with Yoga
@ friends' gathering

rajhesh vaidhya's concert

and that would be the maestro himself. i know his hair looks a bit messed up and all that, but this is the best pic i could find to paste it in my blog. anyways, he's my idol when it comes to the veena. i simply cant find anyone who can play the way he does. the speed he plays is blistering you know. your eyes wont be able to catch up with the speed his hands move on the veena, and that's how good he is.

and he's not like any other famous veena players because he plays the veena in a contemporary way whereby it is not pure classical. he brings in some jazz, the guitar, drums, and a whole lotta stuff in his concerts. and he's ocming down next week friday (14th nov)!!! to brickfields!! how lucky can i be?! i so cant wait to see him in person!

Yoga's bday

Yoga's birthday falls on the day after rajhesh's concert. yeap, on the 15th of Nov. i actually thought of going out with him that night after the concert and spend time with him till midnight to be the 1st to wish him. BUT, my mom happens to be coming with us for the concert too. so, i dont think i'll be able to go out with him because something tells me that my mom is gonna insist that she comes with us to be with him on his bday too. so, looks like my plans will be off unless i plan things really really wellllllll......

exam ending
my exam, which started on the 15th of Oct is ending on the 19th of nov!! i know that its ridiculously long but i dont think i can do much about it. its just 8 papers you know, but there are all together 28 empty days in between! its good in a way and also annoying in another way. it wasting time la. i wanna get it over with and time is moving so freaking slow!! anyways, on the 19th, its gonna be merdeka for me! i'm gonna enjoy my life for the next 2 weeks till the end of nov before i start my classes AGAIN for the first 2 weeks of dec. yeap, i'm gonna be having college on the first 2 weeks of dec and then only i'll be off for another 2 weeks for christmas.

i really hope i get to enjoy my hols with no interruptions la wei. i really dont wanna be having any assignments from college and all that nonsense. i wanna be freeeeeeeee....

Yoga's fast breaking
my Yoga has been fasting for the past one month for vedha chanting. so, he's been vegetarian for the past one month. i really feel bad for him you know. cos, we always go for dinners in happening places and he's vegie. :( so, i'm waiting for he 23rd of nov till he's vegie period ends and he's back to normal.

anniversary
its been a year now.. since Yoga and i have been together. yeap, one whole year. i barely felt it la. seriously. they always say that when you're having fun, you will not feel time moving. and i should say that it is in fact very very true.

btw, i'm currently thinking of what to get him for his birthday which is next week saturday and our anniversary, which is on the 25th of nov. i've thought of a fantastic idea to make a card for him though. hope it works out!

sleep over

yeap, that would be pei yi, mei kay and rebecca under the covers. they were actually discussing of what word to give my team (myself, jie lee and siew) to act out in the gae of charades. hahha. they are damn cute wei. like some kind of conspiracy like that. cant wait to have another one during the hols. i hope its some time soon.
miss you girls la.

and that would be all for this post.

navarathri and dakshy

its that time of the year again where dakshy spends almost everyday in her music teacher's place practicing for her veena performances through out navaratri (9 day worship to godesses). and its that time of year again that dakshy's fingers get tortured to the max and the veena gets bored of seeing dakshy everyday without fail. AND its that time of the year again that everybody in the house get tortured with sound pollution coming from my veena because my fingers cant strum properly at times. :)
yeap, its that time of the year again.

this year however, since shamita has got her spm and all those stuff, she couldnt perform and has always been performing with me ever since like.. ever. so, i thought i wont be performing too. but then, about 3 weeks before navaratri, my teacher calls me up and tells me that she wants me to play with this really superb veena player who happens to be her student. goodness! i had to literally practice every single day for longer hours to actually be in par with him, at least somewhere near "in par with him".

anyhow, all went well and we became good friends ultimately and went through all the performances well with little disasters. :)

the sleep over in action!

meeting

as the plan was made, we (jie lee, siewie, becca, mei kay and i) are supposed to meet up in my mom's shop at 2. nevertheless, knowing my IST (indian standard time), i arrived at 3, because i had to collect something from Yoga and one shot had lunch with him. and not to forget, despite leaving early from his place the stupid jam due to the stupid merdeka celebrations AND friday prayers by the malays, the jam was atrocious and i arrived late.


so, upon arriving my mom's place at 3, i see jie lee, siewie and becca! giving them all a hug each, we head towards the pantry to gossip! yeap. initially, we were supposed to leave immediately to the mall and lepak while having lunch. but because mei kay could only come at 4, we thought of helping out siewie with her logo-drawing-project during that time so that we can straight ciao with mei kay and dont have to carry our bags around the whole of mid-v.

mid-v
at 4, info comes that mei kay is stuck in the jam and that she wont be able to make it to the shop and its advisable to just meet her there. upon "feeding" jie lee, becca and siewie with nestum and coffee and depriving them from death due to starvation, we leave to mid-v.


there, we met up with mei kay, who was trying on clothes to use for her up-coming presentation. then, we had desserts in Zen. ooooooo. desserts there is d-lish wei! it was fantastico! then we talked and talked some more.... shopped.... and finally exited from mid-v. picking up pei yi on the way from kl-sentral station, we were off back to my house.


dinner
in my place, Yoga, dad and mom were waiting for our arrival with happening yellow lights and the whole dim, hotel effect, which i discovered one day when we didnt have much to do at home. so yea.. had happening dinner which my grandma took pride in preparing for us. then, we got into my brand new 4-wheel-drive Toyota Rush.

*bragging too much. must stop*


the lounge
Yoga then took us to a clubbing lounge in bangsar which was quite nice. and that was where he picked up a baskin cake for the August Babies followed by the pictures below. and the cake was cut just as the clock struck 12, becca's bday!

the best part was, after the cutting of the cake, Yoga ordered the Flaming Lumbo for becca! oh my god, that was bloody cool you know. and the best part was that becca finished it just like that. whoa! i dont think i'll ever be able to do that you know. have a look at the pics. the flame wasnt really that obvious, but you can figure it out.

damn chun right??

THE sleep over
and that whole night after the returning from the lounge was spent by talking, gossipping, playing charades, playing UNO, eating a whole lotta junk food.. it was great wei. after a really long time, spending time with each other was great. and we finally slept at 5 something.
note: we all squeezed in one room, where 4 of us ended up on the bed and 2 were on the floor sleeping on quilts and wrapped up in a comforter. hopefully it was comfortable for them!

the next morning, we woke up, got dressed , had something light in my house and had nice breakfast in Oldtown. then, we parted.

i feel right, this is better than spending a whole lotta money and going for a lavish holiday, because we got to do exactly what we wanted, which was talk!

sleep over preps

3 days to go today, finally, i decided to inform my mom about the sleep over. typical me. actually right, as soon as we (jie lee, siewie and i) planned the sleep over thing, i would have immediately informed my mom. BUT, knowing parents who just have to say "i'll think about it" when you tell something with full of anxiety, i didnt bother to do so till the very last minute. because, you have to understand that the buying of groceries for dinner that night has to be done by mom. so, she needs a minimum of 3 days to buy those stuffs and keep them all ready. i'm smart right? my room has finally been cleaned fully. yes, F.U.L.L.Y. i know my room aint that big, but you'll be surprised of how much of junk can hide in it if spring cleaning isnt done. believe me, it isnt a good sight. clothes have been sent to be washed by my maid and room has been sweeped and mopped. i was initially supposed to leave it to be done on thursday since the sleep over is only gonna be on friday night, but i happen to have tuitions and some thingies to be done through out the rest of the week. plus, i've got my trials and 1st semester exams coming up. cant risk not studying for that or Mr.Chan might just call up my mom and tell her... "dakshini has been spending too much time with shiva that her grades have dropped. therefore, i suggest that you tell dakshini to never ever speak to shiva again." he might just say that. so, i think i've gotta do well for my exams. arrival i just realised that my family has spent quite a bit on travelling to the airport. yeap. first, bani anni came back from UK. so, one trip had to be made to pick her up from the airport by her family. second, the next day morning, my sister left to the US for a 10-day holiday, therefore my family had to dro her off at KLIA. then, she came back on the 23rd, another trip to the airport. THEN, prabani came down from india yesterday, whereby another car drove to the airport. so yea. quite a lot of international arrivals. gifts from new york my sister is such a darling you know. she went to new york with shamita and her family and they bought me the most number of gifts compared to anyone. yup! my sister got me a really pretty black dress, g-string and a blouse, followed by a body gel from victoria's secret. shamita got me stickers and some happening fancy markers. my aunt got me a pair of beautiful shoes! that's a whole lotta things you know. i'm so excited! click! ~ 9 months ~

siewie turns 18

siewie turns 18!!

happy happy birthday siewie!!

hope you have a great birthday and hope all your wishes and dreams come true throught out the whole year! onjoy yourself siewie!

oh yes, and note to the other August Babies, your birthday stay-over in my place on the 29th is confirmed! you may bring junk food or anything you all wish to munch on, except anything that has beef or pork in it, because my mom is very particular of the things that enter my house. and clothes to stay over.

lecturers and rumours

PTA meeting
the other day, my lecturer, Mr.Chan decided to have a small chat with my mom because the first mid-terms just finished and he wanted to let our parents know about our performance before the 1st major exams for the 1st semester. as he called my mom, "co-incidentally" she was free and could make it for the one-to-one meeting with mr.chan.

at the meeting with my mom, these are the things he told her;
(a) dakshini (that's how he calls me) is a good student.
(b) she has a good future if she focuses well, in which we know she will.
(c) she's a little TOO over confident
(d) she is going out with shiva and his grades are dropping and we fear that her grades will also drop because of him.

OMG!
can you imagine what he just said. i mean, ME and SHIVA going out?! and he also mentioned that the whole college thinks about us like that. i can't believe it wei. shiva clearly knows that i'm going out with Yoga and we even talk about Yoga once in a while in college. just because we have lunch together and sit next to each other most of the time, it doesnt mean that we're going out right?! i'm really pissed wei. i can't take it!

and the best part is that shiva is shocked too! the 2 of us can't believe that lecturers have got nothing to do at all then to watch over who is going out with who. i really have a lot of respect for Mr.Chan you know. i know that things like this dont bother him, but why suddenly? plus, its not even true. haiyo... i'm so bothered right now you know. whenever mr.chan walks by and i happen to be with shiva, the 2 of us feel so conscious and all that nonsense. haiyo....

note:
till this very day, shiva and i havent sat side-by-side (we always sit 1 place away from each other, whereby that's where we leave our books and stuff)
there has been absolutely NO body contact between the 2 of us (not even holding hands or standing next to each other in the elevator)
we're not even lab partners anymore for us to be doing assignments together.

what makes them think that we're going out?! actually right, we're just as close as siew and i used to be in school (how ironic that siew logs in just in time as i type her name? haha), in fact, not even as close as siew and i. why la why...

Yoga's reaction
he's totally not bothered la. some more, he told me personally..
"haiyo.. dakshy.. dont bother la.. i should be the one who is supposed to be really really stressed and worried about it.. i myself not bothered because i know you too well and i know shiva too.. i know that there's nothing between the two of you.."

he also said that if i want means, he can come over to college one day and have lunch with shiva and i, where i'll be constantly hugging him and smooching. and hopefully, while this is happening, one of my lecturers will see us and they can then conclude that shiva and i are not going out. haha.

he's so sweet right??

ciao!

~will learn~

batman

meeting
yesterday, we did go out to the pavilion. yeap. all of us. actually 3, bout it sounds nicer when you say "all". hehe. anyways, jie lee and i met up at about 1.30, as planned by my college. since her college is just behind mine and there are feeder buses from her place to mine, she decided to just come over. then, my mom came to pick us up at about 2, and off we went.

the meeting was supposed to be at 5, since the movie was at 5. then it was brought forward to 4, then it was brought forward to 3 something. that would be because, mom was a little bit busy in the shop and couldnt send us later on once we go to the shop. so, we had to straight shoot off. reaching there, we had lunch and was lepaking and after that siew, joined us at 4.

movie
movie was good la. really. except the fact that i would have been completely lost if siewie wasnt sitting next to me cos it was bloody bloody confusing. i nearly though of sleeping off because i had absolutely no clue of what was going on and the batman dude wasnt that good looking after all.

i actually though that the movie was gonna be simple and not as bad as batman begins. you know.. batman's the hero. his identity will be kept as a secret. there's a heroin. she'll like him as batman. batman will like her, but while he is just Bruce Wayne. then, when batman tells her that its not possible, she'll like Bruce since she's close to him. and all through out, there'll be a villain who'll be all out to kill batman and batman will have to risk his gf's life while saving Gotham city.

that's what i actually expected. but NO! do you ever think that they'll finish it easily? ish ish. they had to have harvey dent, an ugly gf, and a lot of people who just made me more confused. not that i'm complaining that the movie is bad or anything. in fact, the movie was GOOD. especially batman's car and bike. whoa! it was worth the money and the shivering under super low temperature in the cinema.


classes on friday
guess what la. i've been scheduled to have classes on fridays also from this week onwards. my only free days is gone! i mean, i have saturdays and sundays, but saturdays, i have my tuition to teach and sundays, i've got more tuition to teach. also, fridays and sundays are the only days when i can wear my super short skirts and all that cos saturday's i've got my music class that i HAVE to be dressed traditionally for.

irritating right? some more, i only have one class. whereby, i'll start at 9 and finish at 10.30. for that, i've gotta wake up at 6.45, get dressed, embark on a journey that gobbles petrol and takes forever to end because of the ridiculously large number of vehicles on the road, reach college and come back through the traffic back to mom's shop. ish ish!

okie. looks like i gtg. kinda doing something right now.

~ time to realise things ~

from the library

from the library
i'm currently in the library of my college again. actually, waiting for jie lee to finish class and meet me up at our common mcd. the plan for the day is, we're gonna watch Batman. "we" in this context would refer to siewie, jie lee and myself. yeah. the group shrunk from 6 to 3. that would be because the rest are having their exams and loads and loads of assignments. though i'm also technically going through one of the hard programmes, i dont have as many assignments as they do. quite surprising though.

before coming into the A-level programme, i actually motivated and prepared myself to manage my time properly and make sure i get to do all my assignments on time and literally got to know most of the procedures for presentations and portfolios and all that. but, after joining the programme, looks like i wont be needing all those skills after all! hehe.

• no wearing formal clothes on presentation days.


• no deadlines


• no articles and research


• no plagiarism


• no paraphrasing


• and ULTIMATELY, no stress!
  

yeap. isnt that fun?? but i'm not going through anything less than them. my syllabus is so much more taxing that all those stuff. it balances actuallly. and my results dont matter at all on my powerpoints and all that. its entirely on the god-forbid-super-duper-freaking-out-of-mind-humanly-impossible-exams.

memories
the other day, when i was quite bored at home, as nobody was at home because;

• mom went to get the new maid


• dad was at work


• sis was with her bf


• grandma was in temple


• maid was being replaced


• cat was asleep
  

i went through some of my school pics. you know, when i was in school, everybody used to tell me that once you leave school, you'll really miss it and wish that you could go back. hearing that, i used to think,
"what nonsense! who would ever miss that kind of a hell hole?? are you kidding me?!"
but now, when i think about it, i'm really beginning to miss school, as that was one period of time where anything and everything you need were taken care of. you seriously dont have to do anything for yourself. when you need absent-letters, parents are there. just pass the letter and you're done. when you flunk a subject, just tell the teacher and problem solved. whenever there are functions, you'll be right in front organizing them and being the centre of attention AND you dont have to bother of what's happening in class.

all you have to do is come to college and none of this happens again. when you need absent-letter, though your parents write them for you, you'll STILL get screwing from the lecturers. when you flunk a subject, you have to get extra screwing from lecturers and still re-sit the paper. when there's a function in college, you'll not be organizing it unless its a party for 2 and at the end of the day, you'll never be the centre of attention.

and my friends! we used to have lunch all the time last time. i mean, at least recess which was 20 mins. and not to forget, the in between times, when there are no teachers in the class and we just hang outside our classes. now, we can only meet each other once in 2 months. sometimes even longer! and somehow or other, someone wont be able to make it. so, you can imagine how hard is it to even see the entire group together.

now, you tell me. if you just left school and ended up in college, wont you miss it??

driving test
yeap. my driving story is YET to be over. remember the last time when i said that i failed my driving test because my bloody car didnt go up the bloody slope? well, i havent re-sit it yet. i'm going for couple of classes this weekend and will be sitting for my exam on the 21st of july. that's gonna be one hell of a stress before my car goes over the slope!
wish me luck everyone!

ciao!

~ out and fine ~

tested

being tested
suddenly, i feel as though my whole sistem is being tested. my patience, my anger, my composure, my health, and of course, my priorities. since young, i've always been able to hold myself together. EXCEPT when it comes to exam results. that realy breaks me down and makes me lose my composure. lately, i feel as though i'm really losing it. everbody, and everything is testing me and pushing me to the limit. being a normal human being, i'm bound to just break lose and throw the no-matter-what-happens-i'll-always-be-in-contol face of mine.

i dunno whether my level of tolerence is beginning to drop and that i'm starting to get angry over the smallest things or its just time for me to stop bottling up everything within me and just behave like an absolutely normal person, who lets people know of how she feels when things come in the way. i know it's always good to express yourself as it is psychologically healthy, but not all the time. i think even you will agree with me.

though to the outside world, i might seem like a completely out-spoken person, i'm really not. especially lately. since last year, i started feeling as though its better to bottle up unpleasant feelings so that people dont get offended and relationships dont get spoilt. also, when you know they have the upper hand (older, higher hierarchy etc), you usually opt to do exactly that.

but, how much can i contain? do you know that if too much sacrifice is made, soon devotion will turn to hatred?! are some people really that ignorant towards how someone else might feel? i really dont see the difference between a murderer and someone who is numb towards feelings. truly.

as much as all of you who are reading this know me well, you should know that once i hate someone or lose respect on them, it NEVER heals and comes back to normal.

hair and so much more

hair
do you know that an average woman takes about 20 minutes to set her hair? when a guy takes at the most 7 minutes?? this is so true and i'm not making it up. so yea. by this statement, you should know that THE HAIR is the most important element on a woman's body and is given a LOT of importance.

today, we went over to the saloon to get our hair done - my sista and i. we went over to our regular hairdresser in pertama complex. paid about RM100 and walked out satisfied. he knows exactly how to get it done you know. the whole waves, curls, tidiness and all that stuff. my hair right now aint that short. its just been trimmed. because i'm gonna grooooooooooooooow it. yeap. at least i'm attempting to. i was sooooo close to tell the hair dresser to chop it all off before i stopped myself with so much might and said, "just trimming."

it was tough ok?? anyways, i'm planning to have it till my waist. then do some stuffies and make it look chun. but NOT straightening. i'm done and over with starightening wei. seriously. it makes your hair so bad shape after it starts growing and it'll start dropping like nobody's business. so yea.

movie
we're gonna watch "journey to the centre of the earth" on wednesday night at 11.40pm in midvalley! i'm thrilled! its in 3D you know?? and its that guy from "the mummy"!! i love that dude. but i never get his name right. i think its branden fraiser. something like that la. but anyways, mom, sista, sis's bf, me, Yoga and a few of sis's friends are gonna watch it. chun right??

okay la. i'm gonna bounce and hit the books right now. got pop quiz in college tomoro.
bubbye!

the nasty

the flu - the nasty bloody thing that simply spoils your energy.



bloody hell! i'm falling sick! i cant take it wei. the one thing that i hate so so much in the entire universe. well, after failure, exams, headaches, backstabbers, technology, history, biology and.. ok ok. its not exactly the only thing i hate in the whole universe. anyways, its getting on my nerves you know. i was so excited about shamita's cheerleading BUT the dumb flu had to come yesterday and torture the hell outta me the whole of last night. i was sufferring you know. i practically raised my head on 3 pillows and tried to sleep, thinking that the flu might supress a bit and sleep might come but NO! it was still there and i barely slept.



at one point, i woke up, put my head close against a pillow and screamed my head out. a needed sleep wei. SLEEP. so yea, at 8, i could barely wake up and go for the cheerleading you know. i dont think i can go tomoro also. ish ish.

next meeting
my next meeting with ma clicks might be taking place somewhere around next weekend. yeap. in pavilion again. this time the agenda's gonna be BATMAN! yeap. i'm a huge fan of Batman series and i so wanna watch the latest movie. i'm so excited! i really hope mei kay can join us in this one because she couldnt make it the last time and it has been awfully long since we've all seen her.

i think so i'm gonna stop it here. losing things to type. hehe.

ciao!

~ touched~

looooooooong time later

oh god. i'm so freaking sorry, siew! its been bloddy long since i've last blogged and i know you've been telling me over and over again about blogging and i'm yet to even attempt to do so. anyhow, i'm currently in college and since i dont have my college-pal shiva, i'm not having lunch in our usual junction and just decided to have some pasteries from the bakery nearby and eat it in class.
not to worry. we dont have prefects in college to chase us out of the class and give us "amaran"s if we are in the class during lunch hour. hehe. those days have gone far far away...

late
on friday, my family and i went for a holiday. well, technically, we didnt "go" for a holiday as all we did was just invite all my close relatives to the house and have a small get-together. that was really fun wei. as in, this holiday was faaaaaaaar much better than having an expensive holiday in europe! all we did through out those 3 days were - eat, sleep, eat some more, sleep some more more, watch tv and talk.
exact definition of RELAXATION.

so, last night, due to my fucking annoying period cramps, i suffered all night long and sleep was at such distance. so, not being able to do much, i tossed and turned. at 7, when i was supposed to wake up, i couldnt. told mom to send me for the later class, which ws chemistry at 11. so yea. i skipped bio and went it just in time. but guess what?? we didnt even have bio today! what a relief!! no homework, no nothing!! hallelujah!

being late at times does hlep tremendously you know. :)

gym
i've given up True Fitness and now have joined California Fitness. reason for jump :
Yoga Boy is here!
cheaper!

driving - yet again

another entry about my driving
today was the worst session ever! i simply couldnt take it. i really dunno if it was just me, but the handbrake was bloody hard today wei. it just didnt budge evreytime i try pulling it up to halt. i had to use all my strength each time to pull it up in full. i had a tough time. actually right, the first 1 hour was okay. not that bad. BUT, the following hour was incredibly tough. my hand started getting so soar and evreytime i had to pull it up, my fingers were burning like crazy because of the friction and the force. anyhow, i just kept quiet and never complained.

as i got down from the car after my 2-hour session, i looked at my left hand and got a shock out of my life! the skin had all started peeling, i had a humungous blister at the bottom of my middle finger and my hand was red and soar. couldnt do anything with that hand till it was treated with some medicated oil.
i might sound like a real spoilt brat. but i'm not. seriously. i can do hardwork and all. so, yea. i'm not exaggerating.

bio chromosomes
here comes another nightmare assignment. last week wednesday, my biology lecturer gave this so-called smalltime assignment. whereby, we have to get in pairs and solve a puzzle of chromosomes. its something like this..
we're given 3 sets of jumbled up human chromosomes, whereby there'll be 23pairs of chromosomes in each set. what we're supposed to do is, pair up the jumbled up chromosomes to form the fixed 23 pairs and paste on the given sheet of paper. as much as it sounds bloody easy, let me just clarify to you that those unpaired chromosomes are 2 cm long (at the most). so, can you imagine how tough it was?

geesh! it took me 2 hours plus to complete one set. and i have got 2 more to go and pass it up by monday. goodness goodness goodness..

not feeling good

disturbed
i dunno why but i have been very disturbed lately. i'm yet to figure out why. this feeling has been getting on my nerves as i havent been able to concentrate on anything properly. i cannot be feeling like this for long you know. whether i like it or not, i have to find a solution to this and get it over with.

veena

my fingers have been tortured to the max. seriously. i couldnt take feeling so down for no reason that i started playing my veena like a crazy person for more than an hour nonstop. and the consequence of doing so?

look below.

so yeah. you should get what i mean. the pic isnt that clear because it was taken like one day later when it healed a little. ish ish.'i think all my sensory receptors on those 2 fingers are gone wei. there's nothing much left there i think.

chem prac
weeeeeeeeeeeeeee! today, i did my chemistry experiment all by myself and it turned out SO BLOODY ACCURATE! no joke wei. i prepared the solution by myself, i did serial dilution myself and completed the whole titration all by myself. without the help of shiva too! i was really good you know. i never even made a single mistake! i'm so proud of myself wei. i have never really done an experiment by myself before.

actually right, though this Daniel guy is a real sarcastic bastard who needs to be thrown into a river of hungry crocs and watch his slow death with popcorn in one hand and coke in the other, his teaching is really good you know. his notes and his way of teaching is really effective and impossible for you to not understand. he's really good.

nevertheless, today, he was abnormally sarcastic. he just went on and on. i think i needed more than 200kJ to keep my mouth shut from replying his bloody sarcastic lines. i was trying to concentrate on my experiment so badly and i had to ignore him at the same. oh god. it was some mega multi-tasking i had to do wei. arrrgggghhh!

~batam for 2 days - gonna be tough ~

handyman

why oh why vista??
damn wei. my vista in my lappy toppy failed to do what it was supposed to do as a loyal companion to me. okay. i'm getting a little over-ly emotional. BUT, lemme explain to you. my lappy toppy (laptop) which has the oh-so-wonderful-vista has expired BECAUSE i the bloody salesman who sold me the CD to download the vista thingy sold me a pirated one. therefore, the "original" software happened to be a trial period one for the price of an original one and it expired. so, now, the only thing i have in my lappy is the internet connection and that is it!

can you imagine?? this also means that i dont have any of my saved docs till i renew my whole thingy. i'm so pissed you know! and you know what;s the best part?? my presentation is coming up on wednesday and i need my lappy to be back to normal by then. this is just another thing to add on to my 'worry-list'. fantastic.
nevertheles..
just as i thought my entire life was over, Yoga comes to the rescue!
*plays superhero music theme*
yeap. he says,
"dont worry dakshy. just bring your manual and the docs which came with your lappy. i'll get it fixed and everything will be back to normal. trust me."
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
this is why you need a handyman with you. he's always there to save the day when everything falls apart. chun right? hehe. so, looks like my life is saved after all. : )

laziness...
haiyo. how lazy can i get la? i mean, seriously. i started my gym again now and i'm facing a big time problem.
you see, lately, the jam to my college everyday is S.I.C.K.E.N.I.N.G. i cant take it wei. its just like that in every part of bloody kay-hell.
so, my ingenious sister, comes up with her ingenious suggestion. which is to go to the gym with her every morning at 6.30 in the morning everyday, work out for about an hour, then go to college form hartamas whereby we'll be travelling against the traffic and there'll be very much less jam. FANTASTICO!
but.. here comes the problem. the first week, everything was falling in place. wake up at 5.30, leave home at 6, work out till 7.30, leave gym at 8, reach college at 8.15. perfecto. BUT, the next week, laziness set in. haiyo... lazy bukan main lazy wei. i just couldnt wake up so early in the morning. despite the fact that i sleep very little each day, the task to wake up that early in the morning, just to go to the gym was bloody tough. so, i started saying, "tomoro.. tomoro.. tomoro.."

and now, going to the gym at least once a week at that time of the morning has become almost impossible. nevertheless, i admitted my laziness to my sista and she told me to just go to the gym with her on fridays through the weekend. this is gonna be so much better because i wouldnt have to wake up at 5.30, whereas i only have to wake up at 7 something. so, its great.
something;s better than nothing right??

~ cho very the sweet ~

people have changed

holy crap! i just realised a superbly vital information that people are never the way they are when you first meet them. seriously wei. lemme explain by giving you examples of people in my college.

stephanie chan
ooooooh ma god. she's the worst of the lot.
initially - she seemed very helpful and nice to talk to because she minded her own business and never talked to me unless i were to talk to her. so, i didnt mind her at first.

later on - when yoy see stephanie - RUN! no joke wei. i cant stand her! she behaves like a complete know-it-all. i mean, if you know something, and extra information or whatever, just keep it to yourself and dont publisize it la. who wants to know that you know how to operate Vista so well and you're very well versed in it? who wants to know that you read biology textbooks when you're bored at home and that you have practically finished the syllabus in your head?! who wants to know?!! go find someone who can be interested with the nonsense you talk and get out of my face in the process why dont you?!
oh and yea. during the biology presentation, she had to come over to me and brag about how she did her presentation and where she got all her info from and all that. haiyo. try being in her class wei...

shivaraj
he's a darling wei. really nice guy. but he too has changed - this time, for the better.
initially - he was just a friend to me, talking to me whenever we were in class and all that.

later on - he's a very very close friend to me. he halps me out whenever i have a problem and i help him whenever he has a problem. he walks me to my car everytime i go back after college earlier than him. he once in a while waits for me till my mom comes to fetch me to make sure i'm not alone. he shares all his problems with me, especially his x-gf and stuff like that. he's a really good friend.

lim kevin
my class rep. haha. i think about him itself ah, i feel like laughing. he's a bloody smart fellow with the brains of 2 humans put together. seriously. he's a straight As student and doesnt behave like one at all.
initially - i felt he was a real stuck-up and the authorative type who wouldnt wanna talk to you unless necessary. he also spoke to everyone but me for some reason which i cant get right.

later on - he's a bloody witty and funny fellow. haha. seriously. he now talks most to me compared to the rest in the class. and he's really fast with jokes and all. he sits behind me now and irritates the life out of me whenever he has nothing to do. and he somehow or other has something to say about my outfit everyday. oh and his past time - fool us that the following class has been cancelled and that we can go back.

i guess that's all of them who i have realised have changed since the first time i met them.

siewie
siewie is going through a tough time in college right now and i feel really bad you know. i mean, i have practically been there with her all the time since secondary school so much so,if i were not to go to school, she too wont come. we used to talk so much everyday and know inch details about each other, but now, things have changed. seriously. i feel as though we've grew so much apart. not that we did it purposely but its just that we both have been so caught up with things. we used to call up each other at least every alternate days to talk, but now, its lesser than once a week. i actually feel really bad for not helping her to go through this you know.

as her best friend, i should be there by her side, talking to her and making life so much easier. but, what am i doing?? i am so into my a-levels that i barely have the time to talk to her.

i'm really sorry siewie. really really sorry. i really hope you understand me...

anyhow, i just read her blog the other day and got to know that she has started taking the public tarnsport herself and things have become so much easier. i'm so happy for her! my siewie is independent wei!! yay yay!!

~sweet message ~

formula one baby!

*edit title*

formula one WITH baby!

haha.

morning morning
oh god. i couldnt sleep the whole night wei. i was given grand stand tickets by Yoga to go watch the grand prix in sepang! that's like my ever so dying wish that i wouldnt mind giving up anything to go for it. (well not anything...) so, yea. the whole night was all about figuring out what to wear and how the experience might be, preparations and so so so so much more.
1am - toss

2am - turn

4am - toss again
6am - turn again

7am - toss again again
8am - turn again again

8.30am - i'm up!


so,yea. i woke up at 8.30 itself to be dressed by 9.30. :) bathed for what felt like more than an hour and got dressed. came downstairs and minutes later, Yoga came over to the house to pick me up and off we went.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

entrance
walked in with a super duper wide smile on my face and holding his hands. through out the whole journey in, which was bloody long, there were so many many exhibitions. and one of it was the McLaren cars.
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

stood by the cars and the camera went click click click. hehe. couldnt help myself la. and Yoga was constantly telling me to give poses with the cars. so, what much can i do? pose la! (not that it was hard to do.....)

chun right.....

the race
the race was fantastic wei! i mean, we were sitting in the perfect-est place in the whole circuit- the place where there were 2 curves abd the most over-taking takes place. seeing the cars at that speed and the ear-blowing sound produced by the cars, the adrenaline rush....... oh god. nothing could replace it wei. it was simply great.

the results
the ultimate results was a little depressing though because McLaren made it to the 3rd place and Lewis wasnt the one. he was 5th. :(

1st - kimi raikkonen
2nd - kubica
3rd - heiki kovalainen

but anyhow, it was great wei. simply great!

MU - Liverpool
hahahhahahaha! in your face Rafa Benitez! you losers are gonna walk alone after all. right at the back. muahahahahah!
i was actually really sleepy that night after the super long day in F1, so, i couldnt watch the match, it was just nice for me to get back home, and sleep to glory. the next morning though, hearing the fantastic results of 3-0, i was recharged the whole day! hehe. we thrashed liverpool outright wei. the feeling is so superbly indescribable.

chelsea - arsenal
this was even more fantastic. arsenal lost wei! i think right, monday was one of the best days of the week this week. hehe! the losing of arsenal and the winning of MU. overdose of happiness wei.

~ one hell of an experience~

the DAY!

pre-results
the night before the collection of my bloody SPM results was.. torturous! seriously wei. and we just HAD to have a small get-together whereby my entire family comes over for dinner and a small time chit-chat. ish ish. actually the get-together was to greet my mom who just got back from a 5-day trip to Bangkok. so yea. through out the whole night, the only topic of conversation was - dakshy's spm results. aaaaarrrrrgggghhhh!

already i havent been sleeping for the past 3 days because of this nonsense, and now we had to have a discussion about it. how freaking annoying!!! anyhow, they go on and on and on and on trying to console me and make me relax, BUT, being dakshy - the nervous reck - the consoling didnt help one bit. i just keep on worrying about it and barely participate in any of the convos.

the lines said to dakshy....
Yoga - dont worry la.. you'll definitely get at least 8As.. i know you and i can foresee it already...
aunt sue - you already have 8As in your pocket. dont worry. you'll do great.
mom - have faith in yourself. you know you did well. 8As - you''ll get.
sista - you're smart la. you'll get more As than you expected (i expected 7As initially)

finally, at the end of the dinner, when everybody left and the house was to myself, i went up to my room and settled down. Yoga calls and we talk all night long, trying to calm myself and catch some sleep if possible.

morning
the next morning, 11 something - siew calls. i get super detailed info about everbody's results which helped boost my nervousness for the day. anxiety grew and grew and grew. i was supposed to meet siew and all in school, unfortunately, she had to leave a little earlier and i had to arrive a little later. that would explain why we couldnt meet. damn it!

anyhow, i reach school at around 11.45 and step out of the car with mom and sis. as i turn around, i see Yoga walking behind me! oowwwww. how sweet of him to actually take time-off and come to my school to collect my results with me.....

ps: siewie. that was the surprise i was talking about the night before. i actually expected him to turn up. : )

*skip the entire walking into classroom and signing*

i take a look at my results...

8As wei!!!!!!!

i was so bloody happy! finally! all those hardwork paid off! i'm getting a scholarship in college!!! with the happening results, i walk out of the classroom to my sis and Yoga who wait patiently.

"i got 8As!!" dakshy.
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!" sista, Yoga and i.

i then get a hug from sista and then GIVE a hug to Yoga in front of my mom. haha. that was damn chun wei. i mean, since we've already informed mom about Yoga and i, i guess it wasnt a problem. that was the first time i actually did so, in fact. hehe. dakshy's got guts!

then, pei yi, jie lee , charandeep and all get hugs and we finally adjourn to lunch in times square. we hit to the dome and lepak with Yoga till about 1.30 and he leaves to work.

surprise surprise
in the evening at about 4 something, while using the pc in mom's shop....
"dakshy!! come here!!"

so, being the absolute blur one, as always..
"why??"

in irritation, they say..
"haiyo. shut up and come la!"

as i walk towards the reception, i see the delivery guy waiting with a bouquet in his hands.
"miss dakshy?"
"yeaaaa..."
"from mr.Yoga."
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...."

it was flowers again.. he's so sweet you know. and this time, he got me my favourite flowers - gebras.
*smiles bloody wide*

night
that night, mom organized a dinner in the Chile's in BSC. we had everyone come over and had a small time celebration. it was nice. ate to glory and headed back home at about 1am.

one hell of a day wei.

to all
to all of my friends who sat for spm..
if your results were good - celebrate
if your results were not-so-good - fuck it

seriously wei. come to think of it right, spm isnt everything. it was just a big deal because its going on now and because we're 18. a few years down the road, or just a year from now, nobody would even think about your results. your pre-u courses and your A-levels results matter more. this spm is simply nothing. dont give it a thought. even your celebration for it is gonna be short lived because you've gotta get back to your life, which matters more.

final word - screw it.
