EXCERPTS FROM A CAT'S DAILY DIARY:

Day 183 of My Captivity:
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another house plant. Today, my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded; must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair, must try this on their bed. Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan. There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary confinement throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More importantly, I overheard that my confinement was due to my power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage. I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and may be snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant, he speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the high metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time ......

Wat Type of Lover...

Ahahaha!!! SOMEONE should be pleased :-p

The Devoted Lover

54% partner focus, 19% aggressiveness, 30% adventurousness

Based on the results of this test, it is highly likely that:

You prefer your romance and love to be traditional rather than daring or out-of-the-ordinary, you would rather be pursued than do the pursuing and, when it comes to physical love, your satisfaction comes more from providing a wonderful time to your partner than simply seeking your own.

This places you in the Lover Style of: The Devoted Lover.

The Devoted Lover is a wonderful Lover Style, and is perhaps the best Lover Style when it comes to developing a long-term, caring and rewarding relationship. The Devoted Lover is a treasure to find, though it is sometimes difficult to time establishing a relationship with one just right; usually, this is the last romantic relationship you'll need to find, so sow any wild oats first.

In terms of physical love, the Devoted Lover can be shy at first but gradually warms and eventually can be a thrilling partner who knows every need of his/her partner. Given a strong and loving relationship, and the right lover, the Devoted Lover can be a delight in bed.

Best Compatibility can probably be found with: The Suave Lover (most of all) or the Classic Lover, or the Carnal Lover.

Try this test urself.

PS: Yes, I am THAT bored :-p

Let the Dance Flow On...

...was the title of our Sutra recital this past weekend. Since we're not going to be having Navarathri this year (Ramli & troupe will be touring Europe & US at that time), this performance was sorta a replacement for Navarathri, and also our only performance for the year.

The first day of the show started out on a bad note coz it was raining the entire evening. (I wasn't dancing on the 1st day but was there to help out) We waited an hour, praying for the rain to stop so the dancers could perform on the outdoor Sutra stage but the rain wouldn't let up :o( So the first half of the program, the Bharatanatyam items, were performed in the studio. I guess the kids were a bit kelam kabut coz of the smaller space and closer audience but at least they still managed to put on the show.

Thank gawd by the time the Odissi items were scheduled to go on, the rain had stopped so the rest of the program was done outside, on the stage. The rest of the event went on quite smoothly, except that (1) the music stopped suddenly during Mangalacharan, and (2) the stage was rather wet from the rain dripping off the leaves of the trees. But our dancers managed to hold their own and despite the slippery stage, no mishap occured :o)

After the first nite, I think we were all praying really hard that it wouldn't rain, so we were really really lucky on the 2nd day that it rained both BEFORE and AFTER the show, and not during the show. Phew!

I did Kalyani Pallavi, Lalitha Lavanga, and the long Moksha on the 2nd nite. Parents, CL, Merv & Rudy came to watch. Didn't make any noticeable mistakes, hehe... I think it went quite well :o) But when I was on the way home, the sky burst and the rain poured like there was no tomorrow! And I was just thanking my lucky stars that it held up till after the show. No pics from the 2nd day.

The 3rd nite, I did Mohane Deli Chahi, Kolabati Pallavi, and again, the long Moksha. There was a bit more pressure to perform on this nite coz so many ppl I know were there to watch : CL, CL's parents, sis + hubby, Sam + Aisha, James, Shasha, Hazel, and Marion. Man!!! Soooo many ppl!!! And Rachel (my ex-boss from VS) was there too!!! Not to watch me intentionally but she happened to know Michelle (my classmate) or something like that. And after the show, I bumped into another one of my salsa classmates. Such a small small world!

Towards the end of the Bharatanatyam program, it started to drizzle. We were all going "Pls dun rain, pls dun rain, pls dun rain" but the raindrops seem like they were getting fatter and bigger. Thank gawd it didn't pour and the audience was kind enuf to sit out the heavier-than-normal drizzle to see the end of the show.

Made tons of mistakes during the Kolabati, right from the very start! I was laughing to myself on stage when we were supposed to do a turn but didn't and everyone started on the wrong note. Haha! I found it quite funny... hehe. After that, I was just basically winging it, coz I'm not that familiar with the dance yet, and couldn't remember the sequence 100%.

Anyway, James and my sis were busy snapping away throughout the show. James has already posted up the pics on his Kodak gallery. Anyone who's interested to view the pics, pls email me or drop me a comment to get an invite to the album.

Here's a preview, pics from James' album (thanks, James!) :o)

...from Mohane Deli Chahi (an abhinaya/expression piece abt a teenage Radha, who meets Krishna and is captivated by him)

"Oh, wat a pretty saree!"

Searching for Krishna...

"See, my friend, wat He's done to my heart..."

Receiving Krishna's kiss (I should be smiling more here and not look so grim)...

...from Kolabati Pallavi (a pure dance piece, no storyline, but with a short abhinaya verse on Krishna and the ghopis towards the end of the dance)

Hehe... if u look closely, u can see me smiling widely here coz I'm laughing to myself...

Am waiting for my sis' collection now. Hopefully, she won't take too long to post them up :o)

Rohit & Ruchi's Wedding

Rohit got married last month. It was an arranged marriage. Never thought that he'd be one to go for an arranged marriage but I guess ppl change, huh?

A bit of background...

When I was at my previous company, VS, Rohit was attached to the vendor, R, who provided one of the payroll systems that we use for our clients. We (Audrey, Mich, Aleena, myself) worked with him when we were implementing one of the payroll systems for our client in Australia. Three months (or more) of late nites, stuck in a room, did it. We became more than colleagues, we became friends (sorry, corny but true). Up to a point, it got so bad that there were almost-yelling matches and slammed doors!

But Rohit resigned from R before the end of the project (we gave him hell for this!) and took up a job in India, his homeland. And when we decided to go visit India last year, he joined us and graciously roped his brother in to take us shopping and also put us up in his new, unfurnished apt in Delhi.

And, this April, he called me up to invite me to his wedding. I actually considered it, for all of 5 seconds! I was thinking "Hmmm, it would be awesome to visit India again and see a real Indian wedding" but then smacked myself in the head "Hallo!!!! Wat u thinking?! U got no $$$$!"

So, I didn't make it to his wedding in the end, but he sent us some pics of his wedding.

Here he is with his wife, Ruchi.

CONGRATS, ROHIT & RUCHI! :o)

Did U Know...

Apparently it takes a rosewood tree about 200 yrs to mature before it can be cut down to be made into furniture???

Imagine! Ur lounge set or bedroom set or dining set was once a 200-yr-old tree.

According to the salesman that was attending to us, rosewood is becoming more scarce (due to exploitation), hence, the high price of the furniture.

But is it worth it to chop down a 200-yr-old tree just to make furniture???

Think about it...

I'm sorry too...

I did get where u were coming from the first time. Maybe I didn't make myself clear.

I'm sorry too.

Isshhh...

I...am...so...bored

Diner Dash

Found another fun game :o) That's wat happens when I've got too much time on my hands, hehe...

Diner Dash, also on Yahoo! Games, is abt Flo, who runs a restaurant. You're supposed to help her to:

1. Seat customers
2. Take orders
3. Place orders
4. Deliver the food
5. Pickup checks
6. Clear tables

For the Endless Shift mode, you start out with 5 stars. For each customers that doesn't get served fast enuf and leaves, u lose a star. U can buy new equipment (add tables, drink station, oven, etc.) to make Flo more efficient. And you gain points for each task successfully done.

Gimme Some Credit

Hhhmmm...

I think I should be given some credit for having a sensible/reasonable head than to stick my nose into something that's not mine to interfere with. Isn't it common sense? That's wat I've been doing since waaaay back, when ppl tell me abt their issues. I dun probe, I dun ask a million questions, I dun even give advice. I just listen. Coz I dun think I'm qualified to give ppl advice unless I've been in the same situation. Like when u told me she's pissed at u, I told u to settle it among urselves coz I didn't wanna get involved. And for that, I was told that I "didn't care".

It's fine to voice ur opinions, all the more encouraged. But when a certain opinion is presented in a way that makes it sound like I'm THAT daft not to know it in the beginning, I can't help wonder "Gosh, does s/he think I'm that stupid?" and when it's repeated again and again, it's an insult to my judgement/reasoning skills. I've already said how I felt (sure, it's a skewed opinion but we're all entitled to our opinions, rite?) and I'd already said I will not interfere. I dun even know wat I could/would do in that situation, that would make it better! Anyhow, it wasn't and still isn't my place to act. I guess u'd think that I'm being way too sensitive here but seriously, wat do u think I would've done??

• I never said I was going to interfere (I was never planning to and still won't).
• I didn't and won't do/say anything out of line in their presence.
• I didn't and won't create a scene (I detest confrontations).
• I didn't ask u to choose sides. If I'd implied this in any way, I apologize, I take it back.

If I'd indirectly interfered, well, I'm sorry but I dunno how to 'indirectly' interfere without directly interfering.

There's a fine line between being there for a person and caring "too much" i.e. sticking ur nose into other ppl's personal issues.

I'd safely say that I can tell the difference between the two and use my sound mind to know when it's best to let things be.

Like I've said before, I'm not a kid. I've made poor judgements in the past but for things that pertain directly to myself and not to others. But, as long as I can think rationally, I would never intentionally do something that could potentially have an adverse effect to others. (Here's the 'never' word again, but in this case, it holds true)

It hurts when the ppl u care abt dun trust u to make a common sense call.

Dance Therapy

Aaaaaaahhhh... the joy of dancing...

Never fails to take my mind of my thoughts and worries (mindless and otherwise) coz I need 100% concentration to remember the steps or else I'd be totally blank and will probably be standing there like a fool.

Am still not 100% prepared for our performance next weekend *WAIL!* Am still not strong in Kolabati coz we just learnt it 2 months ago and haven't done it a gazillion times for us to be able to do the dance in our sleep... sigh... Well, thank gawd I'll be standing on the far corner, and hopefully be hidden by the trees, as long as I dun go too far to the edge and fall of the stage! Haha! Oh the horror! *Gasp!*

Am getting more comfortable with Mohane Deli Chahi. I used to dread it coz I wasn't around for classes when the dance was taught (I think it was due to work) and so I didn't get to learn the steps as a study. When I came back for classes, they'd already taught the entire dance so I had to just try to catch up. And I took the longest time to get it into my head without having to copy others! But at least not as long as Kalyani Pallavi. I took like, an entire YEAR before I'd gotten all the steps for that dance!

Am actually quite looking forward to the performance. Jittery and nervous but excited all the same. There's something abt performing for an audience. It's almost like getting high. After the show is over, I'd think to myself "I wonder when's our next show!"

Discombobulated

I am tired of defending myself.

Was I THAT bad? Wat are u so afraid of?

Mind's in pieces. Constant metal band in head. Total confusion.

I need answers.

Soon.

Or else I'm gonna blow.

Off to class to let off some steam.

Dance therapy.

I detest...

• Animal abusers
• Drivers who think they fucking own the entire blurdy road
• People who litter
• People who act like they're too big for their own heads
• Being asked the same question over and over and over again, even though I give the same answer each time
• Being told/reprimanded abt how I feel or how I should feel - my feelings are entirely my own
• Backstabbers
• People who are unfaithful to their partners
• Organizations/individuals who think only of short-term gains instead of long-term planning
• Hypocrisy
• Servicing clients
• Having to put on a 'nice' front when I'm seething with anger inside
• Rude/Indifferent sales/customer service people - defeats the purpose entirely coz I won't buy ur product and u're not servicing customers

Bejeweled 2

The mind's very frazzled today, feels like a warzone, so decided to cool off by playing some online games. I guess serving notice period is the only time that will afford me the luxury to play games at work *evil grin*

Wanted to play Yahoo! Towers but for some reason, it wouldn't load so am now currently stuck on Bejeweled 2.

This version is much cooler than the one on MSN in terms of graphics.

I like playing the Action mode. Fighting against the timer gives quite a rush, especially when the jewels start trembling when time's almost out.

Oooooo... it hung the first time I was trying to load it. I like how the sunburst thingy turned out, hehe...

Conversation with Cat

I had a conversation with Patchy this morning, on my bed...

Me : Yes Patch, wat do u want?
Patch : Meow...
Me : Yes?
Patch : Meeeooww...
Me : Yah..
Patch : Yooowww... *rubs against me*
Me : Aaawww...
Patch : Meeeoowww...

And it went on for a little while more. Not that I understood her meows at all... but it was comforting that my cat 'talked' to me.

I believe that some animals can sense when their human is distressed, troubled, agitated, and in general, not like his/her normal self. And during these times, these animals would try to comfort their human, in different ways. My cat 'talks' to me and my parents. When my mom wasn't well, she stuck by my mom's side like glue. Just having her next to her was a source of comfort for my mom.

Animals (pets, specifically) are such easy to please creatures. Just give them food and board and love, and they'll give u unconditional love in return.

I love my kats... MEOW!

Sigh...

Today has been one helluva traumatic day.

My head's pounding again.

I wish I could just disappear.

Sigh...

Wat the Hell is Sanctity of Marriage???

See, I've got this friend who found out that her now ex-husband (whom I also know) was cheating on her almost from the day they got registered. They've been together for 6-7 yrs before this.

She got a job outstation and he was in KL. Her plan was to get transferred to KL after a certain period. After a few months of working, he proposed and they got registered. One year down the road, after doing some investigation, she found out that he'd been cheating on her with numerous women. When she came back to KL for visits, he'd be off somewhere, leaving her at home alone, on the pretext of having to go back to work.

Needless to say, she divorced him, but not after he'd caused her tremendous heartache and mental strain.

See, wat I dun understand is, why did he even bother to propose in the first place?? If he wants to have multiple women, then just be a player lar. Just be single and go have his one-nite stands and all that shit. Why even have a girlfriend or wife in the first place??

Some men are just scum. And women too. Why even be attached if u wanna cheat? Is there no such thing as self-restraint? Even if u found someone else u think u like better, at least just break it off with ur current partner before hooking up with the other person. At least it's all out in the open. It doesn't matter if u have the worst relationship in the world (if it were THAT bad, why didn't u call it off sooner?). No one deserves to be cheated on.

And then there is the other type of women. If they got duped by the guy into thinking he's single and unattached, then maybe it's not as bad, as long as they come to their senses. The worst ones are those women who already know the man is attached but yet, choose to cling to the man like he's the only male available in the whole wide world. Do they feel good about breaking up other ppl's relationships? Wat if it were to happen to them? How would they feel?

Wat's more devastating is when it happens to someone u know, both the recipient and the giver. U feel hurt for the recipient and total disgust towards the giver, coz u can't imagine that someone u know could actually do something so despicable.

Is it any wonder that the sanctity of marriage will soon become extinct and divorces would be as common as having flies at a mamak stall? Oh wait, I think this is already a fact.

Shite...

ARGH! My neckache and headache are back... dammit.

Conclusion is...

Cheating is cheating is cheating is cheating...

just like how a lie is a lie is a lie is a lie...

REGARDLESS of the cause, intention, and outcome.

Gimme Work!

I prefer to be occupied with work and having to meet deadlines rather than sit at my desk with nothing to do... :o)

Never Say Never

This past year, I've learnt a painful lesson :

1. Never ever ever assume that you will never fall for a single and available guy that ur gal friend fancies (even if he doesn't fancy her)
2. Never ever ever even insinuate to the said gal friend that u will never fall for a single and available guy that she fancies (even if he doesn't fancy her) lest it be miscontrued as a promise on ur part, even though she says it's ok, she won't mind if u do
3. In short, NEVER SAY NEVER, coz u know wat??

Things change, people change... and BAM! U suddenly find urself attracted to the said guy and vice versa, and before u know it, u're together BUT now, u're perceived to have betrayed the said gal friend for going out with a guy she likes, never mind the fact that he doesn't fancy her. Never mind the fact that u've never planned for it to be this way. Never mind the fact that u're just as shocked as to how it turned out. Never mind that u tried to deny it for as long as u could.

Wat can I say... it's my fault... I said 'never' too soon. Never say never, remember?

BUT I refuse to feel guilty anymore coz (1) I didn't 'steal' him from anyone - he was single and available, and (2) I didn't distract his attention from anyone else (as far as I was aware). If he had shown any interest at all in the said gal friend, or any other gal, I'd have backed off right away.

I guess I assume too much a lot of the time. I assume that ppl are like me and think like me. Like, if I were in the position of the said gal friend, I wouldn't see it as a betrayal coz heck, he doesn't like me so that's all there is to it. After that is confirmed, any and every female out there is open to 'catch' him, even my gal friends, coz nothing I say or do is gonna make him like me THAT WAY anyway. Sure, it might hurt but I'd like to think that I'm big enuf to wish them well and hope they have a happy life together AND move on with my life. Life's too short to be moping around anyway. But that's just me... I can't expect others to be like me. See, assuming again... tsk tsk...

I've been told that a normal good gal friend would never do wat I did. Well then, I guess I'm not a normal good gal friend. Heck, I dun even think that I THINK like a normal gal sometimes! I guess my definition of a good gal friend is different from that of the general female population. Well, ppl can judge me all they want. I know in my heart, and my true friends know that I'm not a person who's out to hurt others intentionally and with malice.

We women are sometimes too complicated for our own good. But being the 'not-so-normal' gal I am at certain things (and blur too, at that), I guess that's why I get along better with my guy pals. They're far less complicated. Anything dun like or not happy, just whack only. Whack once not enuf, whack another time. Then all is fine and dandy again. Anything they want or dun want, like or dun like, they'd just say it to my face, and vice versa. Dun have to tiptoe around them and watch every single thing that I say. This, of course, excludes my circle of long-time gal pals, who grew up with me, fought with me, and who know me exactly as how I am and who I am, and know that I dun have any malice or bad intentions in me. And can say anything they want to me and I won't take it to heart and vice versa.

I'm sorry for assuming too much, too often... I'm only human, not a saint. And being human, and knowing the fact that we can't ever please every single person, we sometimes need to be a little selfish to find some happiness in our lives coz at the very least, we know wat we want.

I dun regret wat I did... not a single bit.

It Never Ends

Some men are just plain FUCKING BASTARDS...

and some women are just plain FUCKING BITCHES*

*no reference to the female dog; a pure derogatory term for some women who have no FUCKING sense watsoever.

Nerves

After realizing that our Odissi performance is next weekend, I emailed CW, WP, and Foo...

Me : ACK!!!! I just realized that our performance is next weekend!!!! PANIC!!!!
WP : Relax... we're supposed to have FUN, nvr mind the whole kampung is turning up. We are doing this for FUN!!!!!
CW : It’s a do or die situation! Aiyah, we should be pro at this by now… But that does not help to calm the butterflies in my stomach.
WP : Hear yea! Hear yea! We are PROs!!!!!! We can do it.

Haha... my friends have such cool attitudes :o)

More on Odissi

Ranjie, this post is for you ;o)

If you haven't already seen how our practice saree looks like, you can refer to my old post.

As for pics of me dancing, erm, I dun have that many but you can check out my sis' site here, she's into photography and has taken quite a no. of pics of our Odissi performances. Click on Public Albums and scroll down the page. You should be able to see a few albums on Odissi and one on Navarathri.

Yeah, I know wat u mean abt faltering when ur teacher is watching u dance. Same thing happens to me sometimes when Ramli's watching. Like the other day, we were having a rehearsal for our upcoming performance. We were doing Lalitha Lavanga, and towards the end, instead of doing wat I was supposed to do, I went a step ahead and did something else! *GASP!* And mind u, we've done this dance (and all the other dances) like, a gazillion times!

And I've just realized that our performance is NEXT WEEKEND! ACK!! *chewing on nails*

What's Up?

I do not understand what's going on.

Please enlighten me.

Thank you.

Of Trains, Stations, and More...

Yay!

But now have to figure out if I can/want to continue Mods 5-8.

Sigh...

Sick but not quite...

It's not fun being almost sick. It's like, u know u've got a bug but for some unknown reason, it refuses to show itself fully and persists in showing bits of itself, rendering u lethargic, with a lil' bit of cold and a lil' bit of cough... and making u feel almost lousy but not quite sick enuf to get u that MC.

I have been feeling this way for a few days now. Had a leaky nose yesterday so I took my trusty Polaramine. And as usual, it knocked me out and today, am feeling particularly blur coz my nose is megastuffed (but not leaking anymore, yay), am still coughing, and still feeling lousy.

Just wish the blardy bug would just hit me fully so I can take 3 days off, get an antibiotic jab in the butt, and recover fully instead of making me feel under the weather for days... but not sick enuf to get an MC from the doc.

BLARGH!

I am now contentedly slurping cendol... to hell with eating healthy during my almost-sick period!

Yesterday...

Doc : Hhhmm, ur tonsils are quite swollen and there's white stuff on it, which will turn into puss if u dun take antibiotics.

Yeeccckkk...

Happy Birthday to Us!

Hehe... this is another shameless self-wishing (watever u call it!)... :p

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!

(5 May)

We spent the day at...

looking at...

...on to a nite event at...

and ended the nite with...

Busy busy day :o)

Humans Will Never Learn

Soon, we'll only be able to show our children these wonderful creatures only in books and other recorded material coz they will all be wiped out due to our senselessness and selfishness.

Pre-B'day Dinner

I had a pre-birthday dinner thingy last Saturday. Erica, Winnie, Jean & Chris, and Bernard... and me, obviously, hehe... we had dinner at Marmalade. They got me a cake from Baskin Robbins, with mint choc chip ice-cream, yuuuuummmmm... :o)

And we posed for a pretty pic (minus Chris)...

And headed over to Decanter at Hartamas. The rest, as usual, ordered their drinks. Me, I dun drink (only on very rare occasions) so I ordered something else. THEN...

...out comes this waiter with a FLAMING LAMBORGHINI!! I was like, WTF?!! It was all Bernard's doing, the idiot. He has some kind of fixation to get me wasted, hence, the FL. Either that, or he knew I wouldn't be able to manage the FL by myself and thus, he would step in to 'help' :p

So anyway, there I was, sitting there thinking "WTF am i supposed do?? How to get outta here now?!" but obviously, couldn't run so I put the straw in and took a relatively large suck, enuf to fill my mouth with the alcohol and passed the straw to Bernard and told him to finish it. Obviously, the flame was still burning but the guy made such a BIG fuss abt having finish it but in the end, he did it also lar. But now he's not going to let me forget the fact that I didn't finish the Flaming Lamboghini that I got for my b'day and how I'd committed a cardinal sin for not finishing the Flaming Lamboghini, and coz I felt bad a bit lar, so I told him, next year, I will drink TWO Flaming Lamborghinis! Stoopid stoopid me... aiyoh! *smacking self on the head* Must start training soon :o(

After that, we played a few rounds of drinking games and I drank a glass of Long Island Tea before I decided I'd had enuf and took my leave. Seeeee, I didn't do too bad that day. I actually had more alcohol than I'd ever had in one sitting! haha! Well, except for the time at Julia's BBQ where I had a few cups of vodka+something and another few cups of wine.

I was burping Long Island Tea for the longest time that nite.

Thank you - Erica, Winnie, Jean & Chris, and of course, Bernard for the interesting nite! :o) And Bern, u can call me a wuss all u want... sticks and stones may break my bones, and all that jazz, u know? ;o)

Fyi, to all my friends, let me stress again that I do NOT enjoy most alcohol and since I dun drink, u all know I probably can't hold my alcohol AND I have a phobia of puking (it's called Emetophobia. Yes, it has a NAME!) so unless u're really really brave and have the patience of a saint to persuade me to drink, just be safe and stick to the mocktails ya? ;o)
