Confessions of
an indian drama queen
Now here's the thing.
i'm sitting here at home, studying for my final theory and planning my schedule for the week, re-arranging tuitions and all, and im feeling good. i'm feeling healthy. and i'm feeling itchy. it's a disease i tell you, its the i-cannot-be-at-home-for-more-that-five-days-straight, and i've been bitten bad by this bug. i'm not alllll that well, definitely not my normal hyper self but my nails are all done and i'm having a good hair day and i reallllyyyy wanna go out. BUT its tuesday...and i'm supposedly under house arrest till tmw, so i can be all well and ready for my make-up tuitions. *sigh*
i just asked my mum if i could atleast go out and do my school stuff, and she said YES! yayyy. hahahah fresh air, here i come. okay so thats abit of an exaggeration but hell, ive been at home sick and needy since thursday night and i just wanna get out. ive got to get the photo done, make some photocopies of some documents and go down to school to hand in something. so many thingssss...was contemplating meetin malibu but then she wants to go town and i figure im not up for chilling in town with her and shawn today cos i dont have that much energy, even tho i love them many manyyyyy:)
oh no. see. now that i've gotten permission, and ive got things to get done, i suddenly feel lazy and this crazy intense urge to go and check the tv guide to see whats on tv today, hehehehh.
oh well. i better make up my mind quick. im giving myself half an hour to decide if i have the energy, or non-laziness to go out and get my stuff done. *huge sigh*
i'm such a bum.
i gotta say, im back to my tv addiction, and i just spent 5 glorious hours in front of the magic box. i ended of my marathon with 'Fist of Zen', which im telling you..is absolutely awesome. its the funniest laaa..its this reality show on MTV where they make these 5 college guys, each time a different group, do these stupid-ass stunts that are either realllyy painful or torturous..and if they complete it, they get a 100 pounds for each stunt. and they cannot make any noise while they're doing it too..and its so hilarious cos some of the shit they do is so ridiculous and i think it takes all they have to not burst out laughing at the poor friend who was chosen to do that particular stunt.
like today..one of the guys had to eat an entire plate of crackers smothered in wasabi..hahahhahahaha damn funny la. for those of you that are sushi fans, you'll know that wasabi is not to be eaten in big amounts..unless you wanna feel like ur brains bursting and steam is coming out of your ears..hahahahhah so funny to watch them torture themselves like that la...anyway he ended up throwing up after the first cracker so they didnt earn the 100 pounds for that stunt. poor guy:(
one other stunt was that this guy had to jump up and down on a trampoline, and on top was this major sticky tape, and everytime he jumped, some of his hair was ripped off. HAHAHHAHAHHAH. and he had to jump like 20 times...omg. i cant take it laaaa..either im too easily amused or that show is really the funniest shit on tv. and when i say funniest shit, i mean that literally. i admit its crap, but its freakin entertaining nonetheless and im a BIG fan.
:)
okayyyyy. so thats it about my new favourite show. somethin tells me im gettin back into my sadistic phase hehhh. after that i got excited to see that entourage was showing on one of the movie channels, only to find out they were all repeats. sigh. so i decided to come online.
tmw's my last day to recover..wednesday onwards ive got many things to do..starting with a full day of tuition to make up for last saturday, and then im heading out with the girls. thursday i was thinking of meetin ragi for our sake sushi date which has been impending for the longest time, to no avail, and the friday, BIG plans with the girls again. i cant wait la. im in party mode, this malini i think got me into it hahah oh well.
k la..im gonna go do some work now, byeeeee!
'Men are from mars, women are from snickers'
heheheh.
i gotta say, its lame..but i love it.
its so true, isnt it? we're really from two completely different worlds tho..there are just too many times when i wonder what the hell is happening in the 'other' one's head, and i think and i think and try and analyze, but to no avail. there's really no point..i used to tell myself that there was no point trying to find answers, when i didnt even know what the questions were, but then, like a bomb dropping on my head, i realise there's no point trying to find the answers when honestly, there are none.
at the risk of sounding sexist, i have to say, men are quite stupid, clueless, ignorant; pick and choose the more suitable option for your boy but im guessing one of those three will suffice.
i'm sick of trying to figure out whats happening..i'm really finally quite done with it, and ive been for a while but i guess today is declaration day for me, and i wanna shout it out loud to the whole world, i'm DONE.
ok, i'm done with the jaded-ness.
on a sadder note, i've been struck with the flu again. yes, AGAIN. remember just recently, i went thru the two-week torture of a high fever and coughing and throwing up incessantly? well i think god decided that that wasnt enuff, and maybe it's cos i didnt stick to my quiting smoking thing, so karma came around and bit me in the ass and made me too sick to even THINK about smoking:(
friday was spent tuitioning, and then i decided to be a good girl and stay home and rest and save my energy, since i had a full day of tuition on saturday, and many many plans for the night. BUT as fate would have it..i ended up spending my weekend not even at home, but at the hospital:(
woke up on sat, after a night of tossing and turning, and i INSISTED on going to tuition cos hell, its my money-maker at this point and saturdays are my jackpot cos i have tuition after tuition..so i left at ten and went for my first tuition at hougang. daddy drove me, and i threw up in the car. but nooo...i didnt listen to my body and i still insisted on going ahead..so i went to give tuition until after about an hour, i had to throw up again so i threw up inthe poor tuition kid's toilet:(
then i decided i really wasnt superwoman, so i called my dad to fetch me, and cancelled the rest of my tuitions:(
came home to sleep...eneded up throwing up like 8 more times..i couldnt even retain water..and that, i tell you, is not a good feeling. so by evening i had to be taken to A&E cos i mean the fact is that there was no way i could heal if i wasnt even able to keep my medicine down, right? A&E was not as bad as i thought..i usually hate hospitals and doctors but after the three injections and the drip, i was feeling much better and thankful that i wasnt gonna puke myself to death, heh.
so THAT, was my exciting weekend.
and now, i leave, to wash off my face masque and to go bug my sister for awhile. ta!
i was reading kam's blog, and i have to say i agree. With almost everything, right up to the fact that the Sex and the City movie was the bombbbbb la, really. everything about it, the clothes, the shoes, carrie's life, altho i have to say..i dont think she's the prettiest of the pretty. but hell, if i looked like her and had her life, i wouldnt be complaining ONE bit.
i think its pretty nice how we've all seem to do away with the fair-weather friends..the ones who only seem to call you when they need help or the 'clubbing kakis', or even the shallow 'hiiieeeeeeeeeeeee how are youuuuuu' and then they look away before you can even answer hahah i love my little circle of friends... i can safely say that everyone i choose to spend my time with, whether its a late night or just a casual lunch, is someone that i care about and want to spend that time with.i really have no energy for anyone else.
its nice that we've all come so far. we all have our certain few that we'd do anything for and at the sametime, we know they've got our back. And furthermore, its nice that we've all reach a point(i call it grownup-dom) where we're all at peace with eachother, and everyone's basically happy. and its so true..its these few friends that really know u inside out, and will pull you back when ur abt to screw up, or will be there yelling their ass off if youve already screwed up, but at the same time, making things all better again.
i love my awesome foursome..mal was looking thru my planner yesterday and she saw that i had written 'drinks with A4 at marriot', and she was like "A4? who the hell is A4 shola arent u supposed to be having drinks with usss?" and then i was like yeahh malibooo...you ARE A4, it stands for awesome foursome, tscch.
hahahaha ummm yeah. did i mention sumthin earlier about me being a grownup? maybe not so much huh? hahaha
i had many plans for this weekenddddd...starting with a romantic dinner wit ragi, and then a happening night out with shawn and all tmw, but unfortunately after i came home yesterday, i fell sickens again:( i dont know whats up la..i just recovered from a bad flu barely a week ago, and now it looks like i'm getting sick again, and thats just damn annoying. especially now, cos being sick means not being able to do pretty much anything, and i cant afford that right now. so i hope it was just a passing fever that i had last night, and i that
i'll be fine by the time the evening rolls around.
maliboo's leavin for KL twwww:( we will miss yewww mewly, even if its just for the weekendddd. haiyah. cant wait till babygirl's exciting birthdayyyy, cos that one usually has a two week affair of a celebration hahahah yay!
ok..im gonna go rest abit, before tuition later. i swear i should be sleeping in and not leaving the house but i dont think cancelling tuition is a good idea, regardless of shawn's nagging me about how its irresponsible if i go and teach and pass the flu on to my kids. i'm not sick nowwww...kinda.. heh heh. well, i wont be after my hour's nap atleast. *fingers crossed*
toodles.
my hair is jet black againnn, finally:) its so funny but i only feel this happy about my hair when its black, i dont know whyyyy, but yay! anyway. i cant believe i began my blog entry talking about my hair la hahaha whoops.
i'm homeeeeee. had a long day of tuition today..ended up in hougang for the last one, and after i was done i was gonna head down to holland to meet the rest for drinks but sally la, took forever at her hair salon and my bus to holland from hougang passed my house first so i happily got off, being the lazy cow that i am..thinking that i would just go home to rest for a bit but nooooooo...i get sidetracked by the clam chowder soup and sandwiches and chocolate rumballs that were at my place, so i ended up spendding an hour on my couch munching and watching tv. which..if i'm being honest, was exactly what i felt like doing:) so yayy.
sallyy...i wanna see your haircut. omg. pls tell me when you say you're going short, you dont mean boy-short..AHHH. see la. this is what happens when we girls break up..we cut our hair. explain to me why we associate cutting off our hair with cutting off the old relationships and starting new? its weird, but sumhow thats what most of us do. i totally would have as well, but i love my long hair, so i settled with just colouring my hair black, which was change enuff for meeeee
im tireddd...my cough started again, thanks to the mum, so im gonna take the cough mixture and knock outtt..tmw's a super long day la:( booo. so many admin things to do for school..must go take a picture for my pass as well..haiyah. but im looking forward to finishing them off, and having free time over the weekend to gym and swim and spa, since i wasnt able to do all that during the 2 weeks that i was sick.
okaayyy..gonna go chill with the sister for abit. byeeeee:)
and another week goes by.
it feels like the days are flying past..and at first i felt like i had too much time on my hands, what with school starting only in september, but now it feels like ive got way too little time again. i think it was becauseof the whole group of us falling sick la..which the exception of miss ragini, who is too healthy to fall victim to the damn flu bug, unlike the rest of us.
i need to digress for a second..my dog is superhero calibre when it comes to sniffing out food, i think. seriously. i just took out a bottle of nutella and a spoon and she already comes running to me, lies her chin on my leg and stares up with those puppy-dog eyes, literally. wtf?
anyway.
the weekend went nice and easyyyyy. friday went more or less as planned..me and ragi met up for dinner, walked around bugis looking for a place that enticed us both, and we settled on the Soup Kitchen, because it had her felaffal ( i think thats how u spell it la) and i saw the wild mushroom soup, which i had with a smoked salmon sandwich and iced-tea. YUM. then malibu met us and the three of us went to catch Sex and the city. ok. i gotta say. it was one hell of a movieeeeeeeee! i LOVED it LOVED it LOVED it LOVED it. seriouslyyyyy...im not at all disappointed, despite the fact that everyone was building up the movie and you know how that is..u get your hopes high only to have them crash right down on your popcorn but noooo..in this case, i LOVED it. mr biggggggggg...sigh. and carrie's shoes and clothes, to die for. i want.
then after the movie we sent ragi off cos she had work the next day, and me and mal took a slow walk down to clarkquay, and went to get drinks at iguana...then i went to meet shawny for a bit at gotham, and then after gotham i went to boat quay for a tiny bit, then went home. saturdays are LONG days for me so i wanted my sleep la..had tuition starting super early. i dont know how, but i managed to wake up and go for all my tuition...then i took a train down to novena and went to see triston for a little whileeeeeeee.
viv was there and he's the funniest with the baby la..its so damn funny how triston actually responds to that boy hahaah aww man..i wanna see the baby againnnnnn, now.
then after steffie's i went down to clark quay, and met shawn and all at the bridge..sat with them while they drank their beer, i had no stomachefor alcohol at all..then i met ragi and we joined mal and bhavna and all at coffee club...i had my fish and chippies and ragi had her strawberry shortcake and sum really yummy drink. i swear ah..our group really revolves around food la. heh.
thennnnnnnnn...mal went to join shawna nd all at gotham and me and ragi just walked around abit, sat down and chilled..talkin about the old days and vibes and everything la. that girl and me really go wayyyy back la..and i think she's put up with so much with me and mal, yet she's always the super cool and classy one, thats pretty low maintenance when it comesto friendship. dunno how she does it la, but like i said ragimahh, if u need to ever shriek on the fone at 7 in the morning, im hereeee. love.
yayyy kam's blogging again! hahaha lazy girl didnt for so many many months. she claims 6 but its actually 8 hahaha but yayy atleast the long hiatus is finally overrrr.
haiyah see laa..i really just ramble on ah?anywayyyy. i came back after chilling with ragi till 4am on saturday, and then i bathed and knocked out and completely didnt wake up untill monday..seriously. 23 hours of sleep. due to my long saturday i guess. hence the not picking up calls and so called going MIA la. then monday came and i went for tuition, then went for dinner, then talked to mal and shawn on conference for about and hour, then slacked la. and todayyyyyyy..im kinda looking forward to today...im going over to mal's once shes done with bringing her dog to the vet, then we'recoming back to my place arnd 7 cos she's havin dinner with a friend at casuarina and i gotta meet my mum for grocery shopping and to get sum school stuff doneeee. im gonna rest now for abit cos my tummy's acting up again. :(
ok laaaa..enuff rambling for today. now THAT was completely frivolous ranting,righttttt? heh
