The Vacation

Yes yes...I'm stil alive...thank u!


Dunno where I got it from (muz be the airport!) but I was down wif Viral Fever last wk.  Haven't fallen sick (this kinda viral thingy) for yrs now so it was a lil tough for me. 


Started wif an innocent cough last Tues, which got worst by the hour.  By Wed I started feeling feverish, altho my forehead wasn't hot at all!  Wanted to take off, but had mtgs in the a.m. & p.m. so I dragged myself to work thinking wil go home after the p.m. mtg.  My cough bcame a nuisance in the office.  So after the mtg, b4 I left, I dropped by the my panel doctor.  It was a horrible 1/2hr wait, but luckily I saw the Dr, coz when he checked my temperature, I was running a moderately high fever (38.9deg), so he gave me an MC for Thurs & told me to rest.  Went home, took my medication & slept.  No sore throat, so there wasn't any sign of infection, thus he didn't gimme any antibiotics but gave me Vit-C.


It was a gd rest on Thurs & since I felt slight btr wif the fever down & I had to do something urgent, I went to office near lunch time to do the thing for abt 2hrs & then headed back home to continue my rest.


Unfortunately, on Thurs nite, I started having sore throat & Fri morning, the fever rose agn, so I went to work to complete the thing I went to office to do for abt 2hrs the previous day, took me abt 45mins & then I went to the clinic agn.  I had to wait for 1hr b4 my no. was called (of coz I went back to office to multi-task & get a few things done while waiting for my no.) so by the time I got my MC, it was almost 11am!  Went back hm after getting my antibiotics & lozenges.  Was quite pissed that my boss kept sms-ing me & even calling me...Harlow, I'm on MC remember.  I'm sleeping here...not having fun!!!  Stop disturbing, can?!?!  I juz ignored the call & carried on sleeping!


Horrible wkend.  Confined in my rm.  I was on a self-quarantine mission as the viral fever is contagious.  Amsyar's puzzled as to why I'm ignoring him, thus refuse to leave me alone & kept making cute faces to seduce me.  When I pass by, he'll raise his arms in gesture to carry him. 


Completed my course of antibiotics on Mon morning b4 going to work.  The virus is gone since Mon, but the residue of my cough still lingers.  My voice is still "sexy"...I'm vocal-training now & once I can start singing agn & not croak, I'll consider myself fully recovered!  Virus is cleared for sure.  But it was too strong that 1 by 1 in the hse is getting it.  Amsyar got it.  After 4 days, his fever finally subside yest'day but today he started coughing...so I drove him to clinic b4 going to work this morning.  Hope his cough recovers soon.  Poor him.  Just now I came home, Mom told me she feel feverish, having cough & sore throat.  She also told me Sis having fever (coz I was pissed wif Sis' poor level of attention when looking after Amsyar). Sigh.  The only ones who're still fit is my Dad & Bro.  I refuse to blame myself.  It was meant 2b.  It was not like I mingled wif them.  I was 90% of the time in my rm (sleeping!!).  The only time I'm out of my rm was to bathe or take medication or vomit after every meals!  But it sucks that ppl think I passed the virus to them!!


Ok that was a v. depressing update I'm sure.  Oh ya...special thanks to Tehzeeb & Princess for the get-well-soon comments they posted on my frenster profile.  After not coming online for ages, it cheered me up.  Esp Tehzeeb's latest Tweety picture.  Tweety just have that lite-up-my-life effect on me!!  It really cheered me up & motivated me to really get well.  Coz Tara Rum Pum, Saif-Rani latest movie is releasing tomorrow & I wanna go watch it this wkend...but looks bleak coz I'm still coughing so it's gonna be a nuisance in the theatre.  :-(


Oh well...on a happier note...remember my fluid holiday plan?  It's more solid now.  I've decided on Pulau Pangkor (Ipoh, Perak) for 8-11 Jun. 4D/2N, S$215 inclusive of 2 b/fast, 2 lunch & 2 dinner @ the resort.  Initially was told that we'll be staying at Sea View Hotel...wah lao...looks like East Coast Costa Sands Chalet from outside...from inside reminds me of army barrack or mental asylum.  No rating on the net some more.  Tak boleh tahan!!  So I begged my agent (Hamidah Travel) to look into other options.  Going to an island means we're stuck at the resort, so it is v. impt for me that the resort I stay in is comfortable.  I need at least a 4-star resort, pls.  Finally, they came back wif Teluk Dalam Resort.  Aaahh...that's btr! 4-star.  I heard it's pretty new.  So yeah...I'm now looking forward to my Jun's vacation!!!

Dil Kya Kare Jab Kisi Se Kisi Ko Pyar Ho Jaye...

The song he sang which stole my heart...and I badly wanted Abhijeet Sawant to win Indian Idol in 2005.  And win he did!  He sang THE song agn during his album launch...in the same tune & feel...giving me the same goosebumps I had when he sang that during his performance rounds!



So glad I found this on You Tube. For a while, I watched the song repeatedly on his VCD...till mom commented "naik SAWAN aku asyik asyik si Abhijeet SAWANT!" [I'm getting fits hearing Abhijeet Sawant agn & agn!]   It's been more than a yr since I stopped watching the VCD!  Now I can juz enjoy it in front of my PC.

Life...

...hasn't been a bed of roses the last 7 yrs...but the last 7 mths have somewhat made up for the worst 7 yrs of my life by giving me the best 7 mths of my life!


It's been wonderful fighting over my food/drink wif my playmate & see him in this kinda pathetic face!! Haha.  Am&Nani


He doesn't drink his milk...but the moment he sees u wif any food/drink in your hands, he'll surge his body fwd & attempt to grab whatever that's in ur hand!  It doesn't help having a 'kanjoos' Maasi who'll go "Ni Maasi punyaaa!" & hide it behind me!  U'll see this "Alaaa...takmo lokek la...gimme some la..." face!!  Heehee. 


I can't help it.  Born a princess...will die a princess.  No sharing; My stuff's mine alone!  Hmmphh!  He doesn't let me lie on his bed/pillow either; I get kicked & pushed!  Pretend to drink his milk or suck his pacifier & he'll get restless & tries to snatch it back from u (altho he's not interestd in it!)!  So yea, tit-for-tat!  I'm so enjoying bullying him, man!!  But we have our fun loving moments, I assure u.  I'm not all-mean-&-no-love.  Enter the hse & even tho he'll be wailing, he'll pause to seduce me (to show some sympathy & lift him from his Mama's/Nani's lap)!  Awww.  All the tiredness & negativity from office disappears!  :-)


Yes...if he was wailing, how come he can pause suddenly?  It's coz he's taken after his superstar (Madhuri) Maasi's acting prowess!!  He's one helluva actor I tell u!!  He's a case of a shepherd who cried wolves too many times!  Really. 


Anyways...presenting the new Bollywood hero at home:


Latest Bollywood Hero


I shudder to think what else he'll be up to by the time he starts to talk & walk!!!!

Finally!

I filed my Income Tax.


I filed my BOSS' (DAD'S!!) Income Tax (my annual duty by default...sianz!).


I hate doing all these stuff...and have been procrastinating for weeks.  But I always remember 15th Apr as the last day for filing. 


Been having migraine over the last 2 days (PMS I suppose...so not surprising).  Been trying to lead a healthy lifestyle by sleeping early lately (been sleeping as early as 9.30-11pm as opposed to my usual 1-3am!)...so hardly online. 


Today, I forced myself to come online.  So while I'm online...here I am...while multi-tasking wif AI (only bcoz there's JLo tonight!) & clearing my tonnes of email!


If u've not filed your income tax yet...wat're u doing here?! Go file!

Presenting...the new ME

Human nature, I guess?  Those wif straight hair wants to perm to hav curls.  Those wif curly hair wants to straighten it.  I was there once too, abt a decade ago.


Cut story short (since it happened to me agn, type 2 long paras, didn't save draft, accidentally closed windown & poof...gone!)...when I was abt 21, we didn't hav $$$ to go salon to straighten hair & all...so I resorted to WELLASTRAIGHT.  Mom helped.  Slowly, it bcame an addiction & I'd be using it almost evry wk wenever I see the hair not straight.  Looks gd.  But months later, my hair started thinning.  The once-envied texture deteriorated to look like a broom.  So on my 21st b'day, Mom snipped off my hair real short like a boy...and then the new hair grew back healthy.  Learnt my lesson.  Lived wif my natural hair.


Till rebonding was born.  But it was too costly.  Now that I've money, I kept procrastinating for half a decade.  Last yr wen I went to Iffah Muslimah salon to get a haircut, the hairdresser told me my hair is too brittle & cant take rebonding.  I bargained for straightening/relaxing...but she discouraged.  So I settled for blow-straight whenever I desire to see myself in straight.


Till I recently saw Maslin's recent rebonded hair (her 3rd time) which she rebonded b4 her engagement in Jan 07 still looking silky straight after almost 3 mths that I asked if she did it at Iffah & then she tol me abt her nxt door neighbour she discovered being a hairdresser who does it at home.  She did it for $50.  So I tol her it's much btr than the $100+ she spend at Iffah.  So I asked her if she can ask her neighbour for 2nd opinion if my hair can be rebonded.


So my appt was fixed for today @ 2pm.  I nvr tol anyone, not even my family.  I only tol a couple of frens/colleagues, a couple of days ago.


I'm determined to do something out of this world.  Something I tot I nvr shld wld or cld do (yea, sounds like WHO DARES WIN rite?!?).  I juz wanna change.  Juz wanna do something to cheer myself out of my depression (cause of it includes Abhishek!! But I'm not talking abt it. Nvr.)


Was realy looking fwd to my appt today.  But the whole of last nite I was having THE JITTERS.  Was a nerve-wreck.  Almost chickened out.  Cldn't bring myself to go till 2pm...I decided I'm not the kind to play ppl out...so altho my wet hair wasn't fully dried, I changed & left.  Juz nxt blk only...hehe.  It was only at 1pm that I revealed to Sis & Mom that I'm going to rebond my hair.  I even tol them "What's the worst that can happen? Turns out disastrously damaged? Then I hav Mom to snip it short agn lor!"


I went. Done by 6pm. Feeling very relieved that it turned out pretty well, and not as disastrous as I had anticipated!!  Maslin's trying to get used to my new look.  Roshni who saw the photo feels that it's like a totally different person. 


Now...gotta bear wif the reactions of my family member.  Dad doesn't know yet.  Bro prob didn't realise as he's bz doing project wif his fren.  Mom, Sis & Amsyar came back from Giant...Mom brought Amsyar in & he was dumbfounded, prob didn't recognise his Maasi!  Mom didn't show any negative reaction.  She & Sis both came in & went "Whoaaa....".  Mom's juz happy I fulfilled my desire & didn't hav to spend too much.  Sis thinks it's cool...at least I've tried it & knows how the rebonded hair looks on me.  No negative reaction.  So far, all those who saw in pic has no negative reaction.  Not that I care. Coz it's not for them.  It's for my own personal satisfaction.  Even if it looks horrendous to ppl, as long as I like how it looks, I'm happy.


I've seen myself in straight hair after every hair cut (they'll blow straight for me)...but this feels really GOOD coz it's slightly more permanent for the nxt couple of mths.  Feels damn soft too.


Sneak preview of ...the new ME:


The New Me!


(PS: It's purely coincidental that wenever I go for a hairdo & end up having straight hair, I'm wearing this same striped T-shirt!)


Ok...I'm famished.  Gonna have my dinner (lemak ketam...my fave)...then will rest coz gonna have an early & long day tomorrow...going JB wif family.


Oh...that reminds me, if Anishar's reading this: Sorry gal, gonna miss your Nikaah...but I wish u a blissful wedded life ya...Amin!

Kisah SPEED0

There r 2 things which excites Amsyar that I juz cant fathom y, coz I think it's weird!


1. The reverse-sensor sound (I call it NOISE) of his parents' Nissan Sunny which we always complain abt!  Juz wen Sis decided to take the car to a workshop to shut off the reverse-sensor sound, she changed her mind wen she observed that her son jumps in excitement at the "noise".  No need the car, I juz hav to go "tett..tett..tett..tett..tetetetete..tetttttttt" & that's enuf to make him jump in excitement!


2. The sound of running tap water.  He knows it's bath time!! He loves bathing (esp. so wen he has spectators..gatal!), since I always refer it to him as "swimming".    Everytime he hears the sound of running tap water...he'll pause whatever he's doing, search for the sound & wen he confirms that it's the tap water running sound...he'll jump in excitement! Gosh!  I only discover it on Mon wen I was lying dwn on the floor making him stand on my tummy & playing wif him while Mom prepares his bath...all of a sudden he started jumping in joy!  Wen I tol Mom...Mom xplained "it's the water!!".  Then it made sense to me y everytime Sis prepares his bath & wen she leaves the tap runing...she'll come to Amsyar & call out to him "Am Am Am...look at Mama" & she'll start jumping!!  She's actually teasing her son's actions!  On Tues, I was doing the same thing wif Amsyar...wen Mom shouts "hold him tight"...I was like "huh?" (in my heart I wondered if we were abt to do a crash-landing!)...then she tol me "I'm abt to turn on the tap".  Ohhhhh...so I was holding him tight & subtly trying to observe his reactions.  JUMP IN JOY!! OMG!  I was realy amazed.  So Mom tol me "That's y last time I tol u to bring him to swimming pool!"


Ohhh...I see. She did mention...I tol her to ask Mamu since Mamu goes swimming & he's the only swimmer.  She said Mamu lazy coz he doesn't go public pool anymore since his close fren is staying in a Condo, he goes there.  So yea...I tol her we'll buy a trunk & buoy for him & take him swimming 1 of this wkends or wen we go for a holiday out of town.


After that...I got ready for work.  Along the PIE...it was an empty stretch of road...so I was cooly driving & started daydreaming abt Amsyar in his SPEED0 swimming trunks & the inflatable buoy on his biceps...I looked dwn @ my SPEED0meter...110km/h...OH SHIT!!! I let go of my feet from the accelerator.  Oh shit oh shit oh shit...I hope the cameras on the lampposts didn't capture me speeding!!


Reached office safely...but gonna be having sleepless nites for the nxt 1 wk wondering if I'm gonna be getting a notice fm TP.  Sigh.  Hope not.  It wasn't intentional.  I swear.

What Kind of Bra Am I...?!


You Are a Sleek Black Bra!
Subtle, sophisticated, and classy.
You're not the first woman a man notices in the room...
But you're the one he remembers a week later.
You need a guy who will make a lasting impression on you too!

Namastey London

Wow!!  35 movies in theatre...not once have I ever enjoyed a movie so much I wish I cld juz but another ticket for the nxt show & watch agn!


That's how GOOD Namastey London was (to me)!  Oookkkk...Hum Tum (sweet romantic comedy) & Black (emotional) were the only movies I really enjoyed in its true sense...others were gd for time-pass.  But still...Hum Tum I watched I'm a Saif's fan.  Black I watched coz Amitabh's my FIL (haha!).  But Namastey London had nothing...apart from the fact I didn't mind the Akshay Kumar-Katrina Kaif pairing after an excellent performance in Humko Deewana Kar Gaye.


Anyways...I've been really depressed at work.  Been waiting for the PB ltr.  Got in on Thurs afternoon finally (got the money yesterday)...they didn't reduce my portion...I got the same as last yr (which I've no complains abt)...but what's depressing is...ppl who under-perform got the same amt as me (and those who performed btr & achieved btr attendance than them...got lesser than them!).  So I feel like shit that my Division Hd cld actually allow that to happen. I mean, if she felt that their contribution is on the same level as me...so y am I even achieving full attendance, working long hours...taking on 3 ppl's work...but no special recognition!?  So I decided that I shall work at their level...coz that level gets the same amt as me what!!  So the 1st step I did...I decided to utilise my leave (40 days leave)...by taking permanent Fri leave!  I'm working 4 days a week only!  And from now, I'm gonna work exact hr...nothing more nothing less (of coz, I'll give discretion to really dire situation when I wish to...afterall, brought up that way...too responsible to be laidback also).


So to give myself a treat...I decided that I'm going to catch a movie (since TGIF...been a while since I take time out to relax).  Saw the trailers of Namastey London...after few days it says "RUNNING SUCCESSFULLY ALL OVER"...and that's when I start to get intrigued abt a movie & read the synopsis.  So yea, it intrigued me...plus it's by Vipul Shah - the one who directed Waqt (Akshay Kumar-Priyanka-Amitabh-director's own wife Shefali).  Before that, his directorial debut was Aankhen - Akshay Kumar-Arjun Rampal-Paresh Rawal as 3 blind mice...with Sushmita as a trainer for the blind who trains them to rob a bank...where Amitabh was the mastermind!  I've watched that movie for the umpteenth time & yet nvr got sick of it.  The same wif Waqt.  So I figured, I shld give Namastey London a try after the disastrous experience catching Salaam-E-Ishq (4hrs in the theatre!). 


I found another bored human being breathing on earth (Shazadi)...who was all game to join me for the movie.  So yea...we made the plan on Thurs nite.  And on Fri after work, she met me at the airport juz in time after I finished work @ 7.15pm...and we headed to Shaw.  Stuck on a massive jam on the ECP's Rochor exit...juz at the flyover which I've a phobia off...coz on my left, there's a river below!  I've a phobia of flyovers as I feel like I may be flung off...that's gonna hurt...and if it's a river below...oh no...I can't swim, I'll drown!!  Hehe.


We reached Shaw almost 8pm & grabbed the tix for the 8.50pm show.  Luckily it wasn't full.  Got our tix...Sofra was full...so we rather walk to the North Bridge Commercial Centre in front of Parco & dined at this food centre called Naz.  We loved the murtabak.  Wanted to have that...but got enticed to the Nasi Ayam Penyet...so we gave it a try (1st time for both Shazadi & I).  Yummy!!  Until...I spotted a...LIZARD on the ceiling above us...only to have Shazadi freaked & making a scene there.   Walked back to Shaw 5 mins b4 the show...in time to visit the ladies & entered the theatre @ 8.55pm...but the show started only @ 9pm.  [Btw, they showed the upcoming movies' trailers & I've already decided what I'm gonna be watching 1 mth from now.  Saif-Rani's new film (by Yash Chopra) TARA RUM PUM PUM]


Ok...Namastey London.   Spending $10 on a non-Madhuri, non-Abhishek, non-Salman, non-Saif, non-Priyanka...that's really dangerous!  Not a fan of Akshay to go waste $$ on him...neither will I waste $$ on an actress I felt can't really act!  But...surprisingly...nvr saw Katrina Kaif so breathtakingly beautiful & nvr saw Akshay Kumar's teeth so imperfect! Hehe...screen was really huge I guess...that I saw the beauty of wat I used to think of as imperfect & I saw the flaw wat I used to think of as perfect.  Music by Himesh Reshamiya...no need to comment...all will sound v. familiar...like heard b4.  If u like wat u heard b4, u'll like dis 1...but if u're sick of the repetitive sound...than yea...u'll be put off!  Foot tapping punjabi music mostly...so not too bad for the bhangra addict.  Having said that...now I can go on to the movie.


Katrina is a havoc Punjabi girl who was born & bred in London & eventually takes on the British lifestyle & doesnt see herself as an Indian by saying "I've nvr even been to India!".  Her parents wants her to settle dwn wif an Indian boy...but she's into her British boss-bf who's a casanova who's married & divorced 3x!!  1 day, her parents tricked her for a holiday in India & got her married to Akshay who's head over heels wif her since he 1st set eyes on her!  But Katrina cant stand him.  So by advise from her buddy, she took the 7 rounds wif Akshay & told him that she wanted the honeymoon in London...wanted him to get to know her lifestyle 1st etc etc...so after taking the saat phere (7 rounds)...off they went to London.  There, she proclaimed that a non-registered marriage is not accepted in London...so technically, she & Akshay's not married!!  Thus, she dumped Akshay & went on to prepare marriage wif her British bf!!  Now...it's up to Akshay, the country-bumpkin, to win her heart.  And if u're think I'm gonna reveal the whole story in here...remember 1 thing...I paid $10 for the movie!!! Hmmppph!  Go get the movie & watch it.  I'm juz giving a THUMBS UP so u'll not hesitate to watch it.


My stomach hurt so badly laughing throughout the movie...the dialogues were so originally witty & hillarious!!  And u can only expect Akshay to carry out such dialogues wif a straight face & make ppl burst into laughter.  He's improving in his coming timing wif every movie.  Soon he'll reach the level of how Govinda, Salman & Saif is able to cheer me up when I'm dwn.  There's a part (serious scene) which even I got compelled to clap!  And at the end of the movie...imagine 3/4 of the theatre cheered by clapping.  I gave a clap too (but softly, the way I'd clap when I'm watching a gd movie at hm!).  I walked out of the theatre wif mixed feelings.  Happy that the $10 was worth every cents.  Sad coz I wished it was still early & I cld buy another tix for the nxt show & watch it agn.  And such feelings have nvr happened to me when I watch a movie!


After the movie...went to my car...there was a baby roach.  Y does all the insects have to appear when Shazadi's wif me.  I tell u, the way she freaks...even if u're not scared of roach also, u'll be scared!!  So I tol her to get out of the car, while I chase the roach out & step it dead.  Went back into the building as I forgot to draw $$$.


So yea, wif all that happening, I came hm @ 12am wif a slight h/ache (tired!)...so after shower & did my Isya...I landed myself in bed, massaged axe-oil & dozed off till Amsyar came "walking" into my rm @ 9.30am to wake me up & seek refuge on my bed while Mom does her hsework.
