~Reflections~

With my 22nd birthday just around the corner, i decided to do some reflections on my 21st year on planet Earth. July 2007..i was in India..enjoying my holidays. I went to India for a reason, a reason i cant write down here but all i can say....i got the answers to the questions i had in my mind. I spent my 21st birthday not with a big bang, as i was hoping for, but with a few very special, dear friends. Overall i came back a happy person.Once i was back, it was back to the routine of lectures, tutorials, tests and exams. But this time, i really enjoyed the sem, as i got to enjoy with my uni buddies...and the work load wasn't too bad. I had a good time doing tutorials after classes, and then i headed down to meet Charu n Param at PS to have our Thai express food.

The 2nd half of the year is always more enjoyable as there are more festivals to prepare for. First came Ganesh Chaturti and then Diwali. I had a good time dressing up and going for functions. I had called over some of my Uni frens for diwali at my place. And then there was Charu's diwali party that is always a hit. Last yr it was Sheetal's first Diwali after marriage as well, so we were all geared up for tt too.

Following Diwali, came a very bad time. Dad started experiencing horrible pains in his back and shoulder and he had to seek medical attention immediately. Thank god it wasnt anything serious. Then my family was stunned by my Mami's passing away. It was a tragic period, especially for my mom and grandmom. I really felt sorry for my 10 yr old cousin who is now left to grow without her mom's love and affection. This made me realise how important my mom is in my life....she IS my life.=)

Soon exams were out of the picture, and December vacations came. Most of it was spent slacking, planning our Genting trip and gymingAnd then came Genting. One of the best holidays i have ever had til now. The company was jus superb. We had soooo much of fun.(No words can really do justice to the time we had there) I really hope we can do such a thing again.

After the hols i was refreshed to start my industrial attachment. Hehe i have written enough about it so wont say more. But during this period, we celebrated CYN(chinatown outing with Param), Param's 22nd, Charu 22nd, Vday (my 20th Vday w/o a Valentines), met some special frens and did lots of masti overall. Made some mistakes, learnt from it.
Got scared by some random stalker on April fool's day and then realised it was no joke.
Was really flattered by some events that occurred. It made me feel good about myself for a while.=)

To sum it all, last yr has been a roller coaster, but the ride was very enjoyable. I hated some parts but loved most of it. I don't think i can ask for anything more from God this year. I do have a few requests for him though.

Help me find what i am searching for.Keep my family and frens happy and safe. Keep me smiling. Show me the right path. =)

Feeling the HEAT

The past few days have been weird. I have been going thru quite alot of stressed. Which is quite usual. People who know me, know that i always take the stress, no matter how small the issue is. But this time the issue is not small, it's quite big and long..my 1 yr long FYP. Having to work/think/ponder/worry about that same project for almost 300 days....that's quite alot to take. I don't think i ever had a problem that lasted so long! Plus the travelling to NTU and IME will practically kill me I m worried when I'll actually have the time to study for my 3 subjects (not much..but i suspect they will be pretty heavy), AND apply for jobs, AND write cover letters, resumes AND go for interviews! Hehe i find it impossibly funny!

But this has to be done...students before me have done it, and i will pull thru it as well. What keeps me going is the fact that so many people believe in me. My family, always there to support me, my awful mood swings, and my silly tantrums. My mom especially takes care of me, constantly asking me what's happening even though she doesn't understand most of what i say. But talking to her, i feel she takes some of the weight off my shoulders.

And then, there is always the support of my wonderful bunch of friends. We r all in the same boat, and we WILL pull thur it. I think we have pulled thur some of the hardest time together and this is just a piece of cake. Going thru a hard process, with fun and laughter just makes it more memorable(in a good way).

After talking to all these people, i feel much calmer, and i think i have energised myself for the next 10 months (not even a yr!). I guess, when i read this 10 mths later, i will just laugh at myself, wondering how silly i was to worry so much about a academic project. Mom always tells me...if you start worrying about such small things, you'll have too many things to worry about when your life actually starts. But tts just me, i just have a habit about worrying about everything! =)

High on Holiday FeVeR

It's been almost a week since holidays started, i m am enjoying every bit of it. Friday was sad since it was my last day at work. On top of that i got my IA grade, which wasn't as much as i expected. So i got a little depressed. But i m gonna appeal to get my grade changed so hopefully that works out. Saturday I went to Sentosa beach with the interns. Fun! Fun! We played bridge, "pass the ball around in the water" and Truth and Truth. We dipped in the water for a while, ate and the made our way back home. It was a nice, chilling Saturday.

Sunday was spent mainly at home, with family, and giving tuition. We played the new Monopoly set that i had just purchased. Overall, it was a good weekend!

Over the last four days i did a few productive things!
1) Cleaned my wardrobe

2) Met FYP prof (unsuccessful story but will save u the boredom)

3) Booked my Redang trip (wee hee.. finally i am going sumwher!)

4)Went gyming (to tone up for Redang)

5) Met up with Anju, Kesh, Param and Suruchi

6) Went for a good hindi movie7) Did tuition

8) Learnt some cooking

Wow! That's alot for four days!

*gives herself a pat on the back* =)

Other than that, of course, i caught up on my sleep and watched an episode of CSI. Still reading the same book for four days. Hmmm wat else...yeah basically i m very contented with life rite now. Hope it stays that way for a while.

Hmm .. need to work on my 'deep' blog about luv..i have created enuf hype about it. But my brain has switched off for now. So i cant think deep...=(..hopefully it will wake up soon.

OK It's 2.30 pm..time for my afternoon nap...*yawns*

~Childhood Days~

My childhood...hmm..i don't remember much about it. I was definitely in Dadar, Mumbai, India. I was a naughty kid. I was living with my mom as my dad was here in Singapore. I had alot of people around me, pampering me....giving me all the attention in the world. Tt's all i can remember. They say, a picture speaks a thousand words...so here are a few thousand words for u!
Me when i was young(er)....
