Squid head

My mother was cleaning squid in the kitchen today.

My brother thought it would be fun to chase me around the kitchen with a squid head.

My mother chased him for running around her just-cleaned kitchen with a squid head.

Muahaha.
The universe is fair.

~vid~

Patchy always lands on his feet :)

When I was clearing the table after dinner,
my dad suddenly gave a semi-shout from the living room.

I obviously dropped everything and rushed to see what was the matter la kan.

I saw my dad standing there with a very guilty look on his face.


Me : What happened??
Dad : Err. I.. err.. putyourteddybearonthearmrest...and err. your teddy bear fell. :(



...



I had to laugh.
:D

Sleepy Saturday Morning

Darimu, kutemukan hidupku
Bagiku, kau lah cinta sejati

Bila yang tertulis untukku
Adalah yang terbaik untukmu
Kan kujadikan kau kenangan
Yang terindah dalam hidupku

Namun takkan mudah bagiku
Meninggalkan jejak hidupmu
Yang telah terukir abadi
Sebagai kenangan yang terindah

-Kenangan Terindah, Samson

HELLO :D
I am very sleepy, but its 10.21 in the morning so I am determined to pretend to be wide awake.
:D


Got my blood test results back yesterday night.
I apparently do not have a thyroid dysfunction.
O WAIT.
You people duno about that hor!
...cos I haven't uploaded my India-trip grandmother stories.
After this la k? :p

So right now, I has to seriously consider the possibility of having a degenerative disease.
O_O
Omg maybe thats why I walk oso like so drunk oni nowadays.
choi choi *touchwood touchwood*



Has been a decidedly tiring week, but nevertheless a fun one.
I should really spend more time in uni.
The days go by slower that way lol.

Going back vista on Monday I think.
heh.
Miss my housemates,
but then once I go back I'd miss home. :(
Ah well, at least I have both worlds right??
I shouldn't be complaining. :)

Life is good.
I just have to remember to ignore the petty details and step back and take in the big picture.
Its becoming habitual nowadays.
I'm glad.



My brain does not function very well at 10.28 in the morning.



I should go type out my elective report now.
I sound very boring...perfect for report-writing.

hee :D


~vid~

Don't have to be a dog without a bone

I finally caved in and drank half a glass of coffee today. :(
And I felt so guilty doing it too.
But I was half dead with sleep and still had (have...note present tense) PBL to do.
Which is due tomorrow morning.
I should go do it.
Like now.





On another note.
After 6.15pm tomorrow, MY WEEKEND WOULD HAVE STARTED!
=D
AND MY BROTHER IS HOME!
=D

(shit I have elective report to do...nvm nvm can be done ;p)

It takes so little to make me happy.
It really does.
hee :D

Okeh I go do PBL now kay.
Bai bai.
If I am feeling very mo liu tomorrow then y'all will see a post on this blog.
If I am too busy being happy then this is probably the only post you're going to see for the next two/three days.

mrawr.
:D

~vid~

Life is pretty damn good right now. :D

I am SO gilafiedly happy right now its a miracle I'm still actually on the ground.

I knew there had to be something there. :D
Thank you, God.

~vid~

*drums fingers*

ARGH.
New sem starts today. Bleh.

I'm aching to watch the first episode of 10 Things I Hate About You.
And the new episode of Ruby and the Rockits.




Got hooked on to those two while waiting for the new season of HIMYM to come out,
anddd...for the cd-shop-guy to order the first two seasons of The Office for me.

I've kinda given up on Heroes (cos its too confusing and Milo isn't cute anymore) and Prison Break (cos Michael dies in the end anyway so its no fun) and that SUPER torturous hindi drama that I used to watch (thats pretty self-explanatory)
:D

I swear sitcoms will be the death of me.

But arghhh.
I'd have PBL to do tonight, and I'd have to read up something on CSU...
and then the following days will HAVE to be utilised for Elective Report. :(

*screams and pulls out hair*

Wouldn't life be just wonderful if we could just sit and watch sitcoms all day?
Right.
That makes me sound like a very sad person. LOL.

BUT THEYRE ADDICTIVE.
And its fun to watch other people do stupid things for a change. ;)


Contrary to the tone of this post...I am in a very hyper mood right now.
I have no idea why.
I needs to go ponder the weirdness of ze situation.
Adieu!

:D

~vid~

I duno wat title to put. As usual. :p

Because I was emo about having to go back to school tomorrow,
and this totally made my day.
:D

I MISS G4 la.
All the fights and all the nonsense. :(

Another hyper post...after like ten million years yeah?

RAWR!
(I havent done this in everrrrrrrrr so long omg)

Hello everybody.

I has an announcement to make.

Would jz like to let y'all know that...
HYPER VID IS BACK!
(that still sounds like a detergent! dammit!)
...and I has gotten rid of my emo-nemo-philosophical alter ego that has been in my place for the past Idunohowlongexactly.
:D




Was going thru my old blog posts la,
like from waaay back in '07 when I was like crazy hyper ALL the time.
I was also incredibly happy back then, so I guess today I jz wanted to rediscover all that.
I think I've already mentioned a few posts earlier that its been a rough couple of days.
I kinda needed a booster.



And I wanna put up a couple of links here :
First one dedicated to my high school clan...the amazing, amazing people who have stood by me all these years.
I love y'all, and honestly you guys deserve a blog posts to yourselves.
[but I very lazy right now, so just settle for whats in the link kay? ;)]
http://3bananas4u.blogspot.com/2007/10/confessions.html

And the next two links are for the G4-ians who still read this blog.
I had the awesomest ten months of my life with you people :)
http://3bananas4u.blogspot.com/2007/10/for-all-that-i-will-miss.html
http://3bananas4u.blogspot.com/2007/10/my-emo-last-day-of-college-post.html



And this for the IMU people.
LOL.
Nahhh...this is just something I found in the archives that made me laugh, so... ;)





I've done a survey of sorts,
the results being that, of late
I have seemed jaded, pessimistic, dissatisfied with life...which is kinda true la I guess.
Was overreacting to every small, petty thing that happened.
But thats all overrrr now. :p

If anyone me being emo or unhyper...YELL AT ME KAY?!
I do need that reminder every now and then. ;)



I could go on and on right now, since I'm in this newly rediscovered hyper mood and all,
but I've promised my dad I'll let him take my laptop for reformatting tmr
(again...I KNOW RITE?!)
...so gotta salvage everything salvagable into my brand-new hard disk by tonight.

I'm supposed to read my MacLeods.
I've been supposed to do it since like Tuesday.
Don't die of shock la, its not like I've become like super rajin or anything...I'm just scared I'll get Dr Nagamani for CSU next Tues.
In order to prevent unecessary shouting...must.read.MacLeods.
rawr.



p.s! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO THE ELECTIVE REPORT! HELP!


Lotsa love,
~vid~

haha. ;)

Aliens in the Attic

Gila no mood to blog wei.


*and the sky falls down*


Yes, I, Vidya Iverylazytowritemysurname, have no mood to blog.


Wanted to watch Clueless again very badly...sudden weird urge to watch it.
I was mulling over where to watch it from, over dinner,
then I got up to do the dishes, and they randomly advertised it on Cinemax.
Guess all I have to do is wait a few days.
Destiny.
LOL.




O ya.
Watched Aliens in the Attic yesterday.






Cos we went to Summit, and there was pretty much nothing else to watch la.
Went in with zero expectations to be honest,
BUT...
it turned out to be a pretty enjoyable movie!
Okay, enjoyable would be an understatement considering how I laughed myself silly at certain parts. It was surprisingly hilarious.

Robert Hoffman's character was the best!


I KNEW I'd seen him somewhere (in a less idiotic role), but I just couldn't figure it out til I came home and googled it.
I will never be able to watch Step Up 2 again. LOL.

I also think when you watch a movie, the company really counts.
You need to watch movies with people who are on the same wavelength.;)




Its taking me four hours to type out this post.




Hmm.
Oh yeah.
You know, when you tell people that you're trying to stay off coffee/caffeine...
..the good friends always encourage you, tell you you can do it, etc
...the best friends read out every coffee-based beverage on the menu.
-__-
Its weird how you love them best anyway, isn't it?





P.s. I think I may have just found my perfect guy.

Emails and subject titles

Situation :
Help me think of a title for an email.



Suggestion 1
ITISIVIDYAPILLAIFROMMALAYSIAPLEASEEEEEEEEEDONOTDELETETHISEMAIL




Suggestion 2
This is a normal mail from Vidya the normal. If you are normal, please do not delete this oh-so-normal looking mail like your abnormal father did.




I absolutely love the people I went to school with.
:)

They're mad la, but I love them to bits anyway. LOL.

Breaking the Habit

Hi hi.

I am currently in the process of trying to kick an addiction that I've had for the past three years...or so.
I started today and had to survive through the worst headache of my life so far.
I do believe that is the mildest of the withdrawal symptoms I have yet to go through.

So basically what I'm trying to say is...I probably won't be writing anything very substantial for the next few days la.
Check this page in three days to see if I is alive, kay?

~vid~

I love Astrology

:D

My tarot card reading on Facebook. (3 Card Reading)

Your Recent Past

Nine of Swords Reversed
Recovery of a lost item or lost love is possible. You may be recovering from an illness. Time to pick yourself up and complete the journey. Worrying about it has been useless. Your friends and loved ones have gathered around you and are willing to assist you in your goals. Financial support is possible now. Ask for forgiveness of someone; they will grant it.

Your Current Situation

The Sun Reversed
Clouds may be obscuring truth. Not as bright as things could be, but not dark either. A mitigating of circumstances. Possible sadness. Burn out from a job or relationship. Time to sit this one out until bright sun returns. Positive energies dampened, but not completely gone. Focus on good still at hand until time passes. Confusion and concealment. Truth is still there, but may be hidden. A slower than expected recovery from illness. Relationship in some trouble but still salvageable.

Your Future Influences

Ten of Pentacles
Affluence all around you. Wealth of spirit and resources. Plenty to share with loved ones and friends. Financial security has been reached. Time to create a foundation that will secure wealth for long-term. Family life is in order. Cycle is at an end and you can be satisfied with your work. Stability is at hand. Relax and enjoy time with your loved ones.

SOOOOOOOOOOO TRUE.
o_O


Yes, my happiness may have been dampened for the mo,
but happy future forecasted!
I is now officially happier than ever. :D

They were right.
It is mind over matter.

How did it take me this long to figure that out?!

~vid~

Let the rain fall

I've been so incredibly happy lately,
that every now and then I have to reach out and touch wood
for the fear that all this happiness may just fade away.


Since I've come back,
there have been so many things that rile me up, threaten to drag me back into that deep abyss of depression I've been living in for the past one year.

It all just makes me want to run away, run back to that haven I found where life was so uncomplicated, so simple, so safe.





But I can't.
That isn't my life.
This is.
This hectic, competitive, selfish, dog-eat-dog way of life.


Every once in a while,
you get a glimpse of heaven.


I just have to remember not to let it all go.
I have to remember...to remember.


~vid~

p.s. Sorry, tgh emo atm. Shall resume the journal thingamajiggy in a bit kay? :)

Resolutions

My Resolution for the year 2009

(hey its never too late ok)

I shall be super fluent in Malayalam by December 2009.
AND I shall be able to both read and write in Malayalam by aforesaid deadline.

There's something incredibly beautiful about my language...
...and its people ;)



p.s. I love this song :D
Kaane Kaane - Prithviraj

~vid~

Day 1 & 2 : Trivandrum

Right.
So promised journal entries, cos I'm too headachy to blog properly anyway :p





14th July 2009

Just reached India.
Ppl here eat dinner at 11.30 pm…which is like 2am Msian time.
Dinner weyh.
Sooooo bloodyfreakinglate. I shall die soon. -_-

I’d forgotten what India was like. I’d forgotten what the roads were like.
All the auto-rickshaws, and the endless honking,and the cows.
How could I have forgotten the cows?? :p

The plane ride was awfully bumpy, thank God (again) for the Valsalva Manouever, or I’d have ended up with massive earache and migraine.
Staying in my dad’s cousins house…the cousin who visited us last year…whom I don’t like.
Ugh.
I think I can survive for 3 days here tho. Hopefullly. :(
I miss my cousin awfully.

Our flight was from Singapore, so we had to hang around in Changi airport for awhile. You’d think ppl there’d have good English, I mean it being Singapore and all.
But goddd, the announcer (that lady who announces which flights are ready for boarding at which gate)…is HORRIBLE.
You cannot understand what she’s saying at all! At first I didn’t even realise she was speaking English.

Its 3 am Msian time…I am dreadfully sleepy.
Couldn’t sleep on the flight due to all that turbulence.
Nitenite.






15th July 2009

I am bloody HUNGRY.
Omg and to think I have to bear another 2 weeks of thosai, and idly, and overcooked rice….*groan*.

And honestly, people in India DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE. There are basically only two rules that every driver here follows:
1. Overtake everything that moves.
2. Honk when you’re overtaking, honk when you’re turning, honk when you see ppl you know, honk when someone overtakes you, honk if you see an oncoming car…you get the picture.

I am bored.
They hardly have mirrors here. -__-
Mirrors are like one of the basic necessities of life, and they don’t have mirrors.
OK, I’m exaggerating, they do, but theyre miserably small and chucked into tiny corners that don’thave proper lighting.

Speaking of chucking, even buildings here seem chucked.
You’d suddenly find hospitals, or universities in the middle of a row of shops.
Like as tho they were part of the shoplots.
Im serious.
Its pretty common to find “Bharat Engineering College” in between “Sunitha Sweets” and “Anandhu Egg Agencies”.

AND they have temples in the middle of the road. I am not kidding.
There was this one temple that was just built smack in the middle of the main road, and traffice just goes around it. Like how if you put a rock in the middle of a flowing river, the water would just continue flowing around the rock.
I’ll see if I can take a pic of that temple tmr. :p

I like my dad’s other cousins husband tho. Hes awfully nice.
I’ve come to the conclusion that in India, I will always get along better with the guys than the girls.
I spose I’m not as quiet or as well-behaved or as shy as them.
Blek. ><

Sigh. I really need a good hefty dose of Bollywood masala songs.




~vid~


p.s. I didn't quite take out my camera until I reached the hosp, so very few pics in the next few posts. ><

Soul Replacement

For like the 23493498th time, I've fallen in love with Prithviraj.
He's adorable in real life. :D

Shall not go into details or you guys will probably go on strike and refuse to read this blog ever again. :p



I had something I really really wanted to blog about today.
Some general thing about what I went through in India...I again have to put off my *ahem* journal entries for tomorrow
because Suh Ming made me watch a song on youtube
which despite being an english song that had absolutely nothing to do with Prithvi
still got me sucked into watching his interview
and uh...
...I can't quite seem to end this sentence.
You get my point anyway. :D




OH YES.
SEE HOW COULD I FORGET ABOUT THIS.

I was going to tell y'all my Soul Replacement theory!





Its a pretty lame theory la,
as all my other theories were, and as all the future ones are going to be. :D

Right so,
you see I've been feeling for some time now (approx 2 days la) that someone's stolen my soul while I was in India and replaced it with another one.
(okay now when I say soul, I don't necessarily mean soul la right, to be honest I don't quite know which word to use, and soul sounds cool and all so...yeah)

You see right...

I've got this impossible strong urge to say you see right, for this me - i mean if i was constructing a sentence in malayalam, I would say 'ee njan' - which directly translated is this me.
...of course that would be gramatically incorrect,
I've developed this habit of thinking in malayalam, and its getting quite hard to switch back to English at times. -__-

Ok no more diversions.

You see right...
after coming back from India,
1. I no longer like meat as such...I cant eat chicken or prawns or fish the way I used to. I'm suddenly just not used to it.
2. I no longer eat processed food.
3. I canNOT eat cake/sweets/drink canned drinks
4. I CANNOT EAT CHOCOLATE. I get nauseated after a bit. O_O
Can you imagine ME not wanting CHOCOLATE!?
5. I SUDDENLY LIKE GARDENING. Can y'all remember how I used to sit and complain about having to help with gardening when I was at home?



I can't think of any other reasons la.
There is one more, which I probably am not going to announce here, so y'all have to be contented with 5. :D

Ok.
Journal entries from tmr onwards.
PEROMISHE. :D

~vid~

Hee :D

I cannot tahan.
I SUPER love this song.
hee :D

Pichavecha Naal - Puthiya Mukham








p.s. Isnt he like handsomer clean shaven??? :D:D:D:D

p.s.2 Yes I know the choreography is damn gay, but I love the song so I can't help it. :D

p.s.3. I WANT A SWING LIKE THAT.



hee. :D

I am such a happy person. :D
Where did I disappear to these one and half years?


~vid~

Life, Love...and surviving in India. :p

HIE. :D

So I got home yesterday. :D
I know y'all missed me. :D

I shall not explain why I'm an idiot (pls refer to post below) :D

I IS HAPPY :D

As you can probably see, from the amount of smileys I've used so far. :D

HAHA.

Okok I shall blog properly.
:p

Sooo...as some of you know, I've already finished my electives in India.
Yes yes I know IMU said from 3rd to 23rd August, but... hee.
I've never been any good at following instructions that don't really make much sense.

And and and I've kept a journal!
During my stay in India...shall upload bit by bit here soon, because I have to add in pictures and all, and I'm waaaaaaaay too lazy and contented to go fuss with pics at the mo. :p
(Warning : the first one week was spent in various relations' houses, so there would probably be alot of complaining involved :p)

But yeah.
I'm not too sure that I like India as a whole really...the noise, the mentality...not really my thing,
BUT
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the hospital to which I was attached!
And Dr Prasad, my ext supervisor a.k.a the chief phys there...omg hes the most amazing human being I've ever met.

I've come to realise that I've been very bitter over the past one year and a half.
I met someone in India who made me realise how very little I have to complain about.
How little I have to be bitter about.
I have so much potential that I have not used.

I'm trying to put into words what I've learnt (not medically related) this past 2 weeks,
but my vocab is failing me.

I guess its enough to say I've learnt alot about life.
About people.

Eek. I is getting philosophical.
Hee :D

I am in love...
.......................with life.
:D


~vid~

RAWR. :p

I am like the world's
BIGGEST
I.D.I.O.T

p.s. I IS HOMEEEEEEEEEEEE. Y'all can stop missing me now. hee :D

Happy Birthday to me~! :D

Okay, since Vidya is currently in India and probably won't be on for who knows how long, guess I'll have to do this myself.

HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY KEK JEA MIE ~ !! :D

As you can see, syok sendiri-ing is my forte. :)
