Oh great! Another sacarstic message from another friend!
I haven't been a good friend and I haven't met up with ALL my friends as I'd promised. Suddenly, the holiday doesn't seem sufficient enough to meet up with every single one of them and I feel terrible about it.

Like both Guna and Senthil always used to say, that's the problem when you have too many friends. Haha. But that's not true, it's just that I have different cliques ofr friends. Primary sch mates, secondary sch mates, JC mates, Outward Bound friends, NACLI friends, poly mates, SIM friends, friends I made through another friend, friends friends who have become my friends and the list continues.. Now, that's the problem.

People I need to meet up with or have long overdued 'dates' with and are currently pissed with me:

1. Ambi (our dinner date)
2. Thana (our dinner date)
3. Teebs (our whole day out together)
4. Radhiyah (are nice enough to remind me every now and then)
5. Diyana ( are nice enough to remind me every now and then)
6. Yanxia (has already given up)
7. Khomi (just called to demand an outing)
8. Karthi (is on the verge of giving up)
9. Chandru (is flying back from Adelaide nxt wk)
10. Kumutha (she just scolded me today when I bumped into her at JP)
11. Eunice (she's still waiting)
12. Hazel ( she's still waiting and waiting)
13. Charlotte (she's flying back from Glasgow nxt wk)
14. Anitha ( thinks I m an idiot)
15. Diana (is too straight forward and tells me off at my face tt I suck as a friend)
16. Gayathri (is too nice to tell me off at my face)
17. Pooja (she's back from Nottingham)
18. Sujatha (she's back from Manchester)
19. Hui Min (cancelled out on her a couple of times and she's been really nice)
20. Punitha (long overdue lunch with her)
21. Sivaram (he calls me from all sorts of diff number just so tt I'll pick up and it's working)
22. Nadiah (she thinks Vicky & I meet up secretly w/o her)
23. Jeanette, Lynette and Hongyan (our long awaited Sentosa trip)
24. Rosenna (she's been really patient)
25. Jumana (thank god for MSN, we still keep in touch)
26.Neesha (she has tried and tried and is finally starting to give up)
27. Nishalan (he's already given up on me)
28. Prabhuraj (he too has given up on even trying to reach me)
29. Vala (I bet she's no longer gonna invite me for any chalets anymore simply bcos I always
can't make it)
30. Raji (she prolly thinks I'm a moron by now)
31. Uma (we're both busy for one another)
32. Wicky boy (Tho I've stood him like a gazillion times, he has nvr given up on me)
33. Sree, Lavi and Renu ( we have an all gals day outing which is outstanding)

So now you get the point? It's not that I don't wanna meet them. It just so happens that each time I'm free, my friends aren't and vice-versa. Or if they have money, I'm broke or if I finally say yes and everything else is fine my irritating parents aren't happy with me going out!!! How exasperating!!!!!!!!

But I promise, really promise that I'll catch up with all of em by Chinese New Year (that's the period I've given myself) and if I don't, erm u can throw stones at me aight?

Anyway, fellow readers and friends.. I'm leaving for Bangkok tomorrow and will only be back on Monday. Yep, a short trip for some fun and shopping so there will not be any entries to look forward to but rest assured for lotsa pictures and juicy stories once I'm back! So till then, do take care of yourselves and son't miss me too much, will ya? Mmmmmuuuaacckksss!

- Happy Holidays Ya' All! -

23 Nov 2005

Went to NP to collect my diploma. Nope, I alreay received it on July but dad insisted that I make it into a plague and yesterday was collection day. Senthil accompanied me and we bumped into literally almost all of the ICS pple whom we both knew and ended up stopping every few second to say hi. Haha.. now there will be talk in school, as to whether Senthil and I are still together. Shall wait for the next gossip.. *winks*

In the evening, both Shantini and Kamini came over to my place. Those 2 bought dinner for the 3 of us and we sat by the pool, had our dinner and chit chatted till 10 plus. At ard 10:30pm, Shant had a craving for Starbucks Boston Cheesecake and we took her car down to Holland V for some coffee and cake *yummy* After that, she drove me back hm, dropped Kamz off at her place and headed back ard 11 plus, almost 12. It's really awesome having friends who can drive. Can't wait to get my very own licence and car!!!

Missed Shant so much. She's in NIE and sometimes she's busier than both Kams and I. But I'm still glad we get the time to meet up regularly for our monthly bonding sessions despite the hectic schedule. Both the idiots are bugging me to say 'yes' to Guna *pressure, pressure* and Shant's asking me to find her a boyfriend. Haha, she says she's sick of being single all her life Yes, my beloved Shant has never had a bf (she's an angel, I know) and now she's just afraid she's gonna be left on the shelf. But then again, I dun think there's any guy on planet earth who can match up to her goodness. Noone is even worth her love.. Yep, that's how great she is and I can't wait to introduce you to her!

Kams, she always has some drama revolving ard her life. NUS and it's politics. Kamz, if you're reading this - Don't forget what we told you last night, or else both Shant & I will tear you apart and that's a promise! Go and concentrate on becoming a doctor soon and before u know it, a dashing, young gynaecologist will ask you to be his wife! Hehe!

Sometimes as I sit down and think, I marvel at the amount of years that have passed since the time I knew these two. We have been friends since primary one and who would have thought we'll make it through 15 years of life together? Friendships, amazing aren't they? I think they last longer than love. You think so too?

22Nov 2005

Brought my little cousins to Yishun to watch "Sivakaasi" since it was the holidays. I've already watched the movie but since the little ones were pleading with me for tt movie, I really didn't have that much of a choice but to submit to their requests. Yes, that's my weakness. I can't resist kids and their petty demands. Hehe!

After the movie, I sent them back home and went to Jurong Point to meet Renu for coffee and take a look at some of the earrings that she was selling. Yes, Ive got entrepreneurs as friends. Haha. Anyway, the earring were gorgeous and so was she. I thought she looked really pretty, almost like a spanish lady. Her hair and the tone of her skin suits her perfectly and the make up was flawless -wee, weet!- Again, I repeat; GOD IS UNFAIR! :P

I got myself 3 gorgeous pairs of earring and I absolutely love them! So people, if u are an earring freak like me and would indulge in those luxuries, pls do drop me a tag and I'll introduce Renu to you. She will meet up at a convenient place for the both of you to show you her array of earrings and trust me, u're not obligated to get any but I'm pretty sure u won't leave without one cos they are all so pweety. Tag me quick aight?

20 Nov 2005

Ooooooo, this I GOT TO blog. For the past week, I'd been moping ard the house like I'm some pregnant woman, whining and complaining abt how my body is aching, how my muscles are sore and how I feel so weak. Mum had enough of my constant ramblings and decided that she'll take me for a massage. Yipee! Hehe, finally my words have been heard!

So dad made an appointment for the 3 of us; mum, sis and myself. And so we headed off to Bukit Timah, to this traditional Javanese Massage Parlour (whatever you call that place). It's my first time but mum and sis have been engaging in such pamperings for quite some time thus I was a little bit nervous.

Everything went on fine, until they brought us to a changing room and asked us to change into a robe. Ok, even that wasn't so bad. Just as I was abt to lie down, the masseuse (is tt how u spell it?) told me to take off my bra!!! I was bewildered at that thought! W-H-A-T?? Seriously, was she kidding? There was not going to be, even remotely, a chance that I'd show my entire body to some stranger and already being half naked was a big thing and now she wants me to expose my vital body parts! No way in hell was that gonna happen!

Admist all the noise that I was making, mum who was on the right side of me, in the other room told me to stop being so dramatic and take my damn bra off. I still couldn't bring myself to do it and my stooopid sister who was on my left was giggling at my encounter. Morons! This had been a conspiracy all along. Both mum and sis knew we were supposed to strip and neither one of them had mentioned that to me, knowing that if they did, I was not gonna make a trip down. Damn! How could I have fallen for it?

You see, I'm not really comfortable at showing off my already not-very-great-body I have. Hmmm, without having much of a choice I reluctantly unclasped the hook of my u- know- what and cringed each time that woman touched me. But after a while, it felt sooooooooo gd that I drifted off to sleep and before I knew it, 2 hours had passed and boy did I feel refreshed!!

So it wasn't such a bad thing after all. Maybe next time, I'd go for a massage again, if the need arises. Anyone wanna come along?

19 Nov 2005

So now it has become a norm, me meeting Guna every Saturday, each time he books out from camp. Today was no exception. We were going to the undo-fied Sun Plaza in Sembawang for lunch and proceed on to Orchard afterwards or so I thought until I received his call while I was on my way.

"Hey, I just got back home. Haven't unpacked, haven't taken my shower, haven't done anything. Think I'll be late. Could u come over to my place first, and then we'll leave together?'

And I was like " What? NO! I am not coming over when no one is ard and u know that. Are you kidding me?"

He replies, slightly irritated at the lack of my ability to understand simple things "For heaven's sake, I know that! I too will not call you over if no one was at home. My mum and aunt are ard and they wanted to see you. In fact, it was them who asked u to come over and I thought since I was gonna be late, u might as well come up first instead of loitering ard in Sembawang alone. So u coming?"

And so I went over. His mum and aunt (who I'm meeting for the 2nd time) engaged in a conversation with me that started at 3 and never stopped till the clock struck 6:15pm. But really, I had fun with them and for a moment, I didn't even realise that Guna was missing all these while until got up to look for him. That boy was fast asleep in his room. Haha, tired from all the training I guess so I let him sleep while I kept myself occupied with 2 of his kutty cousins, Rooben and Theresa. Such adorable kids. Finally the pig woke up at ard 7 plus and apologised profusely fo abandoning me but I was really ok cos both his mum and aunt were great company, and not forgetting the cousins . For that split second, I thought marrying into that family wasn't such a bad thing after all. Not that I had thought it wld have been bad in the first place. Hmmm, just a random thought. Yeah, okok I know. I haven't even said 'yes' to him but here I was talking about marriage. But hey, it's always good to consider the whole package, isn't it? The in-laws, extended family and all...

Somehow, I get along better with Guna's family then Senthil's. Over at Senthil's side, his mum considered me as a threat. She saw me as an intruder who was trying to steal her son away from her. She never really let me into her heart and always kept me at arm's length but here, in Guna's case - everything is just the opposite. The mum calls me much often than Guna does, she asks me if the both of us are getting along fine, she jokes abt when I'm gonna say 'yes' to Guna, she includes me in all family functions, she introduces me to all the members in the family, she asks me if I wanna follow her shopping once in a while, she never fails to tell me that I'd make a good daughter-in-law if I ever married her son, she calls to ask me where Guna is, she cares abt me. But above all, she treats me like her own daughter. Maybe that's the difference btw Senthil's mum and her... She never really treated me as part of her family. I was a stranger and will always be one. Sigh.....

Oh well, it's all over now. What's the use of talking about it, right? At about 8 plus, Guna and I headed down to Causeway Point for diner and he sent me back home after tht. Hmmmm, this side of him I never knew when we were friends. It's strange isn't it? The way people react when they start falling for that person..
