Been a real long time aye....

Hi guys.... Wooooo been real long aye... hmmm at least 2 weeks since i last entered a rather sad entry... But the 2 weeks were fantastic i wud say!...

Firstly, my application for the cityspeed carsharing was approved.. a lil expensive though.. But considering the fact that i am a P Plate driver... Its reasonable la... So i wanted to rent a car for ma mum's birthday... But i have neba driven an Auto transmission car b4. Though everyone say tat its easier to drive it compared to manual, i was pretty paranoid abt it... So i asked ma colleague Iskandar annan to teach me before hand, and so i rented a car on Wednesday... And Iskandar annan taught me how the car works and all...My initial plan was to drive to school... But then i thought why waste the rental and ponteng class... So i called Geetha, Vanitha and Vani darlz and said tat i had a very impt thing to tell them and i had to meet them in person.. That very day... All of them were puzzled.. But Geetha was paranoid.. hahahahaha... She kept callin and smsing asking if everything was okie... Cute la she...

So the first one i picked up was Vani... ma sister and i told her to wait for us behind popular bookshop @ Jurong east MRT station... It seems she was wondering if i may be driving... So when we arrived.. Ma darling was waiting for us carryin a beautiful.. lovely... and ma most fav SUNFLOWER...and the best part of it was...it was for ME.. She bought it for me... Apparently it was a belated bday gift...But i take it as a gift for passing ma driving. Hehe.. Thanks babe....

So we fetched her.. and Geetha cancelled one of her tuitions for me, thinkin tat i had some serious things to discuss with her. **Aww** sweet isnt she?... So initially told her to meet me at the busstop on the main road across Jalan Bumbong... But she was held back by her neighbour whose child was at Geetha's place to clarify soe doubts abt her homework... So i decided to go and wait for her outside her house... We parked juz outside her house.. actually more to her neighbours house and called her to come out and that we are waiting outside... So she came and tada.... And she cancelled the other tuition she was supposed to go to at 7pm as well... evil aint i?

We first sent GEetha to Marsling for her to meet her mum, after which we fetched her and went to Al-Ameen @ Woodgrove... It was Geetha's treat... After stuffing ourselves with Chicken Dum Briyani, Cheese and plain Naan, Butter chicken and Mutton steak... We moved off to Yew Tee to find Vanitha.... This gal was at home making Kueh Tart(Pineapple Tarts)...

After a series of wrong turns and wrong exits on the expressway... We finally made our way there... She brought us some tarts and they were yummy...So we drove ard Choa Chu Kang and Woodlands road when we got a call from Vanitha's Dad, she had to fetch Sarwesh(her bro) from his night class... We were early and so we went to meet Aneetha who was teachin at a centre near Sarwesh's school.. So we parked there chatted for a while and den when it was 9, Geetha, Vanitha and i went to fetch him and Geetha and I send them back b4 fetching Gumz, Vani, and Aneetha...

We were lost on where to go after tat and so decided to go to Changi and see my niece... So once again... We were going in circles near Yishun and Woodlands and were lost in the different expressways for like 45 mins b4 we finally entered TPE(PIE) towards Changi airport... So we went to ma bro's place and saw subha...cute gal was staring at the car... when i asked her whose it was.. she was like "subha's auntie's car" cute la....den we sent her back n it was time to send the gals home.. first was vani 2 bishan... den aneetha @ yishun... geetha @ J.Bumbong.. n finally gumz n me back home...Phew....... I was a long night for us.. We started our outing at 5.30 pm and ended it at 12.15 pm... and the KM we travelled was 220... woohoo... tat was alot for 1 day...

The next day i drove to work as i had to oni return the car at 10am... Nice feeling.. No need to wake up so early and wait so long for the bus crowded with all the skool kids.... when it was almost 10 i drove to the multistorey carpark where i took the car from to return it and Isk annan came to fetch me back to work... It was so fun to drive... Next entry wud be on my weekend driving escapade... Read on...

A tribute....

It was another tuesday evening.... ma dad and i were watchin some programme on suntv. When a news flash started crawling at the bottom of the tv screen... (in tamil) "America under attack. One of the twin tower(north) hit by a plane"... Ma dad and i gasped and changed the channel to channel news asia. What i saw that night, i wud never forget it ever.

I was not the kind of person who wud read the papers, or keep myself updated abt the world news. I didnt even noe that a country by the name Afghanistan existed till that nite... I silently turned to my dad and asked who cud have done such a thing... and he said alien names such as Osama Bin Laden, Taleban, afghan etc.. etc... was in sec 4 then.... being a 16 yr old... i didnt noe how to comprehen wat was happening... All knew was ppl were dying. I didnt why but i knew they were... We were staring at the live telecast, in which one of the tower was burning or rather smokin, when out of no where the b-a-s-t-a-r-d-s came crashing wit yet another flight onto the second tower(south) and i cudnt take it anymore. i started with sobbing and cried out loud when they kept replaying the scene when the second flight crashed onto the 2nd tower. I cudnt take it... who were these ppl..? why were they killing others...? That nite, i cudnt sleep... i had nitemares of ppl shouting out for help, screaming in pian and all...I was totally traumatised...

The next day, on my way to school, for the first time after a long time, i bought the Straits Times and went to school very early. We gathered at my school heritage corner( the part of ma sec sch that had comfy sofas and all) and this big grp of frens and i were discussing abt it. This was the impact Sept 11 2001 had on me and still does.... My heart went out to the ppl who lost their lives juz like tat, their families, what was another day of their lives changed everything abt it... and the next thing they new was that their loved ones were gone... Gone for gud... Then the Al-Queda taking the responsibility and all are well known...

i think somewhere last yr this time... the movie Ferenheit 911 was released... i caught that show with Vani and Nava... Am not really someone who wud pay 8 bux to go watch a documentry in the theatres... but i had to watch it.. had to know wat happened on that fateful day or at least wat cud have happened.... The movie showed how the government was responsible for the whole attack... I dunno... if this whole conspiracy thingey is true or not... But all i now is tat 5 yrs has passed by... yet the wound has not healed in the affected individuals. Neither has the impact subsided ard the world. Lets bow and send our prayers those who died on this tragic day 5 yrs back! May their souls rest in peace!

Hi hi!

i am receiving complains that i do not update ma blog regularly... sorri guys.. been caught up with work and school... but am having a blasting gud time now... I started loving maself more and it feels great to do that...

A few things were chokin up in ma heart and cleared dem yesterday... i thank Friendster for tat... I am clear now.. ma heart's clear and ma so is ma mind... all for de gud... and a gud news to my dear frens.... i noe some of u know abt this but for the benefit of those who dun....


Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..... ma long overdue 21st birthday pressie arrived nicely yesterday when i was away at work... I was juz telling ma colleague Isandar annan, "how i wish i get ma card today" and he asked y today... seriously i was juz hopeful.. and indeed i got it...So yeah ppl.. ur fren here can finally drive.. i passed ma driving on ma second attempt and it was last thursday... I was so scared to even look at the tester...but the first time i failed cos i was extremely and i really mean the real real real extreme, nervous... was basically shaking... so this time round i told maself to calm down.. One more thing is do not fear peak hours and roads.. (for bbdc area, ppl fear teck whye routes)... Sway sway(or shud say luck) i got TW routes for both ma tests...but the second time round i faced ma fears and calmed maself down for the journey... it went smooth and a few minor points here and there... lke wide turnng and inappropriate gear usage.. as it was raining i maintained gear 3 in the mnor roads when was supposed to have used 4th gear... but all went well.. and after lecturing me for abt 10 mins the tester smiled and said, "u passed this time round"..! i juz cudnt believe ma ears and asked hm "are u sure?" he was luffing... And so now i got t...

But the headache now is finding a car to drive and polish up the skills... I went for ma new born cousin's (hmm almost a month now) naming ceremony at ma cousin's place in Pasir Ris. After the ceremony, my uncle ( father of my two closest cousin Nithiya aka and Parthiban annan), he actually told me to drive his car to pasir ris MRT station so tat me and ma mum can tae a train back... but i declined as i was a new driver and i didnt have ma ic or licence with me and neither dd i had the P plate.. his is a 1.8L Altis and it was auto transmission... although they say tat auto is so much more easier to drive compared to a manual car, i had never ever droven a auto car b4 so i was pretty "scared" i shud say... Well me applied for membership with city speed car sharing ... hopefully it will be approved! den i can rent cars at a much more reasonable price... so i am looking forward to that...

Well yesterday i attempted cooking pasta for the first time ever... and i shud say pretty neat for a first timer... check out the picture below...

Nice anot?... i noe spirals will usually go with the creamy sauce instead of the tomato based ones.. but le tomato base and i like spirals... So my pasta my choice of ingrediants.... The first scape goat to test my pasta was ma sister... She said it was a pass although a lil salty... but she whacked the whole plate tat u see above... I tried it today and after a long time i ate quite abit of it.... So gonna try other types of pastas soon...

Last but not least, one of my darlings turned 21 yestrday... guess who?

The one i can fight like hell with....... The one i can love unconditionally......

Yeah... Happy 21st Birthday Vanishree Darling....

May u be blessed with onli the best for ur future and smile for the rest of ur life!

and on a lighter note... when is the movie date on? u noe..."THAT" movie?

LOVE U DI!!!
