Guilty!

If my blog was a baby, it would have died by now, since I've sort of neglected it for ages :(  Will update soon!

My ‘affair’ with myHarapan at the Startup Camp 2011

I am indeed deeply grateful to my friend Vishpal who introduced me to this wonderful group called myHarapan. He suggested I join for Youth National Summit. I couldn’t register in time for YNS due to some circumstances but we had three members of Youth Mc representing our team there. Pitching your project to a bunch of experts, meeting the PM, cool stuff.

When I heard about myHarapan Startup Camp, I said to myself that I HAVE to make it no matter what. Of course work was a concern, I’m committed to my job and taking 2 days off seems like a bit too much to ask. Boss said he would approve my leave PROVIDED I complete all necessary work. Which is a lot of work. Was zombie-like by Friday (15^th July).

Back to the Startup Camp, the location was stated as COPE Adventure, Lookout Point, Ampang. Been to Lookout Point a couple of times but the place is only popular for the food (Haven and Gasoline) and of course the view, some sort of romantic. But where on earth is COPE Adventure?

Googled up the place and *faints*. Staying in tents, they have jungle trekking, rope climbing, and all sorts of ‘lasak’ activities. Okay so the tents are air-conditioned, haha, no joke. Toilets look clean so I’m a bit happy but not any less nervous.

DAY 1

Saturday the 16^th came, was at COPE at 7.45am. Our poor friends who were supposed to take the shuttle bus at KL Sentral apparently got stranded because the bus broke down. They were only expected to be at COPE around 10am. But breakfast was ready! Man, the food.. I can go on and on about it. We had (toast bread, fruits, cereal with milk, salad station, mee goreng, and what not) Five Star seriously. And the cook (Kak Izan) used to cook for the Sultan of Pahang! I mean how much luckier can we get??

Myself, Hema and Uthay posing while waiting for the rest

Our tents, super cool right?

They pamper us too much eh? ;)

The bus arrived at 10.30 and you could see the guys literally running to get their food, they were that hungry. HAHA. Okay so classroom session next. Mr.Hisham and Mr.Fauzi conducted the sessions. Big shots. One is the co-founder of Celcom and another is Marketing Director of Sime Darby. Impressive right?

Mr.Hisham and Mr.Fauzi gave us an insight into what made them who they are today. Mind you, even they had to slog to reach the top. So next we were told to fill up a form about “Where do I see myself in the next 10, 20 and 30 years” and then a few of the participants were asked to read their answers to the entire class. After hearing everyone speak, I felt like I was an ant and all these people are elephants. I mean seriously, they are so focused and have so clear goals and most of them are already halfway there. Oh ya, I forgot to mention, we were divided into groups of six. My group was named ELEGANT. Team Elegant – myself, Hema, Uthay, Xin, Bushan, Akmal and Naz. 

Dinner was at 7.30 and we were late (as usual :p), and when we arrived at the dinner hall, WOW! Imagine slow traditional Indian music, Indian lamps as table deco, and the food (banana leaf rice, with loads of meat/vegetarian dishes, papadam, mango lassi, fruits). It was like dining in Passage Thru’ India!

Kay a.k.a Cik Rempit and Lorraine

 

Right after dinner, we had team building activities such as arranging the alphabets (in which my team lost and we had to do sexy dance for the winning team). Then we were divided into groups of 4 (green, white, yellow and my team green) and had more activities led by the very2 charismatic Ajeet. Day1 ended in a good note, all of us bonded so well together and mind you, we were from different races and backgrounds!

 ...Day 2,3, and 4 up next!

Specially for Birthday Girl, Nalini Nathasha..

Love,

It’s your 22^nd birthday today. Happy Birthday!! I feel sad not being there in Kulim. Last year we were together for 1 whole week, preparing for your 21^st birthday party and having so much fun doing it :) Unforgettable times those were.. I’m glad that even after college, our bond is unbreakable.. We have our own lives now, stay in different states, study in different places.. Somehow I still feel you are the best friend I can ever ask for, and yes I know that is true :) We sms all the time, call each other almost everyday and you are the first person I think of when I feel happy or sad.

U rock my word dear, I bet you know that. It’s been four years, and we’ve been through so much together. You’ve been there for me during my worst times, offering me a shoulder to cry on, giving me strength and support. And you’ve also been there during my happy times, sharing my happiness with me.

You are special babe, to me and to everyone who knows you. You are a wonderful daughter, sister, girlfriend and the best friend anyone could ask for. You know me inside out, and somehow only you have the ability to cool me down when I’m so mad at something, and sometimes I don’t even have to express myself in words, because you already understand..

As I sit here thinking of what to say to you, I realize that you already know what you mean to me. There can never be another friend like you. Damn, I’m getting emotional! I miss you babe, I wish you were here so that I could give u a big hug!!

So my dear, once again Happy 22^nd Birthday. You are old enough to marry and have kids now :p Edwin, please take note! All I want to say is, stay the same because you know you rock :)

Here is to another year filled with love from me ( :p) , lots of laughter and loads of happy moments.

I love you babe, you know I do..

 Thats me and the birthday girl!! Have fun on your birthday and DONT CRY okay, eat a lot today for me :) LOVE YOU!!

Busy June

The month of June has been crazy seriously.

Started with us shifting home, which was sad in a way. I am a sucker for all things boring. I can be considered to be very unadventurous. I like to eat the same food (give me KL's Hokkien Mee or fried rice all the time, and I am a happy woman), go to the same places, do the same things. So basically i sort of hate changes. Shifting house obviously comes under the things i totally dislike. Feels like I'm leaving all my memories behind and it's back to square 1 making new memories in my new home. But then again, isn't life all about changing and adapting? So i guess I'll get used to my new home very soon.. Hopefully :)


And now my office is also in the midst of shifting. From Jalan Sulaiman all the way to Bangsar. Good news - Loads of vegetarian shops and food shops nearby my office. Bigger space. Bad News - The journey to work gonna take longer than usual. I have to take Star train and then change train at KL Sentral. which means that i have to wake up wayyy earlier. and yes, I'm trying my best not to complain :P like i said, embrace changes!! And packing is gonna make me have 6 packs very soon :p


The highlight of this month is the wedding of my cousin brother with his lady love. Oh yeah!! 4 days long celebration and i can't wait :) Shall upload the pictures after the wedding.

Brief Update - Lenghty one coming up soon!

1. Went to Genting Highlands yesterday with my awesome friends :)

2. My neck and throat hurts like hell :( 

3. I woke up in the morning feeling like brand new, super excited suddenly to work hard and achieve all my goals :)

4.Yesterday was my beloved Grandma's 2nd death anniversary. Made a promise to myself and Maa that yesterday i will not shed a single tear but will instead smile and think about all the good times I had with her. I survived without crying!! Was hard though.. I miss her more than I can ever explain..

5. God has been really really nice to me this month. Love you God!!

What Vaanam did to me

I went to the cinema expecting only to be entertained.

Well, I did get entertained. But most importantly, Vaanam stirred something inside me i can confidently say very few other movies can.

We all have probably came across a storyline similar to Vaanam's storyline at some point of time. But i guess the power in this movie lies in the splendid performance of the entire cast.

On the way back home after watching the movie, I started analyzing everything I did in my life. I realized that like most of the characters in the movie, I too have been too engrossed in life. Trying to complete the highest level of education, making money, having fun. 

In the process, I have actually forgot the main purpose God sent me here, which is to MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

What have I done for the past 22 years? I've always had dreams about changing the world and helping as many people as I can. But how much have I done to achieve all this?

I've decided on a few things to do. I'll be taking baby steps and hopefully one day, will be able to make a BIG difference.

What about all of you? Are you like me and the characters in Vaanam? If yes, do take a moment to ponder on your life purpose and find ways to make your life worthwhile. At the end of the day, no one really cares about how successful you are or how much money you have made. It's the good deeds that you did which will be etched in everybody's mind.

For making me realize all this, i thank Vaanam. Beautiful movie indeed. 

Vaanam review, from the eyes of a Punjabi girl.

Initially, the plan was to watch Vaanam only after 2 weeks with my friends. But suddenly I had the urge to watch the movie on the day of it's release in Malaysia. So i did. 6pm show on Saturday :)

Yes i went alone to the cinema. So many people were like 'hey its not safe bla3' okay will talk about that in another post ;)

Let's talk about Vaanam now!! :) 

Brief synopsis 
This movie is basically about 5 different people with different lives and how an incident brings all of them together in d climax. The main characters are Simbhu (as Cabel Raja), Bharath (as Bharath, a rock musician), Anushka (as Saroja, a prostitute), Prakash Raj (as Rahim) and Saranya (as Lakshmi)
* something that i just found out - the 5 characters in this movie represent the 5 different elements. Cool!!








Performance
Main Cast
1. Simbhu - probably one of his finest performance yet. He has matured tremendously, remarkable acting. I really loved the fact that he was extremely believable in the emotional scenes (particularly the scene where Saranya's mama was pulling his leg and begging him not to take the money) , and his facial expressions are superb! 

2. Prakash Raj - He is undoubtedly one of the most talented actor in the industry and it is always a pleasure to watch him act as you can really relate to all the characters he is playing. My favorite scene of his from Vaanam is the part when Sonia Agarwal suffers from a miscarriage and his reaction to it.

3. Saranya - Wonderfull actress i must say. She portrays her role as a mother longing for the return of her son perfectly. 


4. Anushka - Firstly, i must say that she looks absolutely gorgeous! And her acting was superb, her facial expressions, her body language etc, everything was damn good. Impressive. But might need to improve further on her dancing.


5. Bharath - Am i the only one who thinks that his tremendous talent and good looks are wasted in this movie? He did execute his role very well but i feel that he was not given much scope in this movie, and his part and story wasn't very important for the entire movie. Having said that, I still have to agree that Bharath is indeed a fine actor, nice to watch his transition from his days acting in Boys and now :)


Supporting Cast
1. Sonia Agarwal - Didn't have much scope but essayed her role very well. She did have good chemistry with Prakash Raj.

2. Jasmine Bhasin - Played the role of Simbhu's love interest. My least favorite in Vaanam. Probably the role required her to act in a very baby-ish and childlike manner but i found it to be rather annoying instead of cute. Lacking in facial expressions so she doesn't come off as very convincing. And the worst part is she has absolutely no chemistry with Simbhu. But then again, she is new in the industry so I'm sure she will improve with time :)


3. Prakash Raj's brother - Absolute eye candy. Didn't have much scope but he gave a good performance.


4. Saranya's mama - P-E-R-F-E-C-T. I am impressed with the range of emotions he displayed, and his voice oozes emotions. And at the end scene when he answers back to the money lender, it was super cute!


5. Santhanam - Funny as always. Funny but not bone tickling funny. Awesome chemistry with Simbhu.


6. Cable Raja's uncle - Love his role and the way he acted. Effortless yet very convincing.


7. Saroja's "akka" - One of the shining stars in Vaanam, and one of my favorite character. Very convincing and believable and can really dance! 



What I like about Vaanam
1. Terrific idea to have 5 very different stories with 1 climax
2. Wonderful selection of actors
3. Wonderful screenplay
4. Brilliant performance by most of the actors
5. Good lesson to be learned from the movie
6. Good background score


What I dislike about Vaanam
1. It was a little bit draggy in the first half
2. Cable Raja song not included (whyyyyy????)




Overall, ill rate this movie 8/10. Loved it. It managed to make me smile, laugh, be angry and cry, all in the span of 3 hours. Definitely worth the watch.

Vaanam!!!

So the MOST awaited Kollywood movie of the year (ummm well, according to me lah) Vaanam is going to be released tomorrow (29th April 2011). Will be watching it in 2 weeks time only, but still, i cannot wait :) Haven't been to the cinema since January due to my busy schedule.. Time for some fun now!!

Memories of School :)

Was doing group chat with all my classmates earlier. It was so nice to catch up after ages. Every one of us have a different life now. Some of them are married, and a few are getting engaged and married end of this year. WOW!! 

Seriously, time flies at lighting speed, or maybe faster than that. It was just a few years ago that all of us were these naughty, noisy and talkative bunch of kids. 

I'm starting to miss my school life.

Revamped!!

As you can see, I changed my blog header and background to something total opposite of my previous header/background. 

I guess it is time for a change :) I love my new layout design, i think it is simple and sweet. 

The least we can do is Pray and Hope..

i found this one blog randomly and have been a silent reader ever since. I really like the way the author (Ami) writes. I admire her for the fact that she is determined and unpretentious, and she has awesome dressing sense. 

So i read an update about in her blog, that she has suffered a relapse (she has actue myleoiod leukemia). This is her blog. I hope all those who read my blog can pray that God grants her and her family the strength to go through this trying period and also hope that she has a speedy recovery.

Verdict

(Please refer to my earlier post here )


Here is Vishal's result

And we are NOT THE SAME! 

told ya, I am unique AND distinctive ( hey, it's good to have high self confidence:p)

Personality Test

My friend Vishpal is always insisting that i am exactly the same as him (the way we think and react) despite me insisting that i am very different from any other person in this world.

So to prove his point, he made me do a personality test here.

Here is my result

It's fun, they even have relationship compatibility test, uber cool. Try it people =)

Have a good day!!  
 

MUET blues. yet again.

I'll be having my last 3 papers for MUET tomorrow (16th April). Prepared? Emmm.. Not quite :p Vishpal gave me a few tips yesterday (thank you!!) and told me to at least learn about the format. Okay, will do that later at night ;)


Anway, the 3 papers are Reading, Writing and Listening. Problems i fear i might encounter for Writing - I'm afraid i might get too excited and write way more than the stipulated length OR I'll suddenly get writer's block and won't know what to write.  Listening - I'm super afraid of this one. I'm being paranoid actually, thinking about stuff like what if i cannot hear what is being read? Scary!! Reading - This one should be okay i guess :)


Good luck to all those who will be having their MUET exams tommorow!! And guys, wish me luck!! =)

Courtesy??!!

Was in the train the other day, going back from college. And I saw an Indonesian man giving up his seat for a woman.. I was impressed, i mean many Malaysians don't bother giving up our seat even if the person is elderly or old. Lack of manners?

Anyway, in the bench where only 3 people could sit, there was this old uncle, a young man and 1 lady. And 1 man from India was standing beside me with his friend. And he decided to squeeze himself to sit in between the man and the girl, knowing very well that there was NO way 4 people could sit there. The girl felt so uncomfortable that she got up. and the guy did not even bother, he was happily smiling that he got himself a place to sit.


I was SO pissed and wanted to give him a piece of my mind. But then i was afraid he would not understand my poor Punjabi :/ So just stood there hoping God would knock some sense into his head soon.


Have you come across situations like this? I get really annoyed when people don't give up their seats for those who need it more, and even more annoyed at people like the man i mentioned earlier.


Maybe some people have absolutely no idea what on earth courtesy and good manners is. 

M.U.E.T - Speaking

M.U.E.T (Malaysian University English Test)

I just sat for my MUET Speaking exam this morning. Couldn't sleep in peace last night, because I don't like exams, especially speaking exams. I get overly nervous each time. I remember how tensed I used to get before debate, it was not butterflies in my stomach, more like dinosaurs doing samba dance in my tummy,haha. I didn't do much preparation for this. Just went online, read about the format etc.
 
Anyway, my exam location was in SMK Kepong. I got lost because stupid me didn’t think about getting the address of the school :/ So called the operator and got the school’s number and the staff there guided us to the school. Thank God I arrived in time.
There were about 14 of us taking our exam. I was in Group 2, with 2 chinese girls and 1 indian girl. All of us were talkative, and we started yapping away almost immediately ;) We talked about ourselves, studies and then about the speaking exam. I suggested we strategize on how Part B was going to be done, so we selected 1 person to do the opening (me) and for another girl to do the conclusion.

Waited for about 40mins, and our turn finally came. Was pretty afraid on what topic I will be getting, I have to admit I’ve not done impromptu speeches in over a year so am a bit rusty. Thank God the topic was simple and very debatable. The topic was, If you could watch only one television show, which would be the most beneficial one for you?  And my point to argue on was News.

Quite a simple topic, no doubt, but I was SO nervous that I couldn’t think much. Thankfully I managed to think of 4 points and a conclusion. The group discussion went on exceptionally well as all of us had a lot to say, and the fact that we were already acquainted and comfortable with each other really helped.

Overall, it was a great experience =) Looking forward to the remaining exams (Reading,Listening,Writing) which will be on 16^th of April

Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.

cliche answers, but it's cliche because it has been proven to work ;)1. be sincere.
2. don't judge me. understand me.
3. be there for me always.
4. make me a better person, but never force me to change. let me do it at my own pace.
5. never, ever break my trust.
6. be a good listener cuz i love talking. and share your problems and happiness with me.
7. be disciplined, ambitious and have a drive to suceed. i love motivated men.
8. let me make you happy, i find joy in that.

Day Two: Nine things about yourself.

Day Two: Nine things about yourself.

What makes me ME.


1. My love for reading
- Reading has to be in my blood, it's like i cannot survive a day without reading. Give me anything at all, newspaper, novel, article etc, and I'll happily read it. And I can read the same thing again and again and still won't get bored. One bad habit - I must read while I'm eating. And then i really really really HATE it when someone disturbs me while I'm reading, i find it very annoying. it's also hard for me to put down a book once i start reading it, it's like i'll be dying to know to ending, so I cannot wait to finish reading the book.

 Dust Devil - One of my all time favorite novel. Too bad Mum accidentally gave it away :(


2. i TALK a lot :)
- talking is my passion , all started from a story telling competition i joined when i was 10. Oh wait, no.. It actually started the moment i was born (according to mum).. She said i cried like nobody's business, for no particular reason :p I'm also good at being sarcastic (thanks to debate)

3. i am emotional, and no..i don't think that is a bad thing :)
- let's say you are watching a TV show, and then it's advertisement time, and you switch to another channel..there you have a sad scene...you don't know the storyline, all you know is that something sad is happening. Will you cry? Most of you wont, but I will.. So i get this -OVERLY SENSITIVE- label, which i don't mind at all.. Why do I cry some may ask? It's because i can immediately connect with people's plight and emotion.. That is exactly why i find great joy in helping people and making them smile :)


4. First Impression
- I don't warm up to people very easily. I'm quite a shy person and will always be assumed as snobbish. Plus that with the fact that I don't really like to smile. So i don't blame people when they tend to have a negative first impression on me. But once you get to know me, u will realize how wrong your initial judgment was :)


5. Animals!!
- i ABSOLUTELY love animals!! Last time when we used to stay in Batu Pahat, i had a lot of pets. Countless number of dogs, the closest one to me was Lucy who gave birth to 6 adorable puppies. I witnessed the whole giving birth process, it was amazing :) The puppies were so naughty, they used to tear our clothes and destroy all our shoes :p But when I see all of them hugging each other and sleeping after having a good bath, I know everything is worth it :) Then i also had 2 tortoise, Topay and Blackie. These two ended up in my porch during some flood, and refused to leave, so we started taking care of them :) The last pet I had was Snow Bell, 1 cat that came to our house looking for food, and then decided to make our house a permanent 'port'. I was very fond of Snow Bell, and this kitty was pampered like hell, used to get sooo much of Friskies and meat until it became fat and lazy :P I enjoyed my evening walks carrying Snow Bell on my shoulders, just like a baby :) Too bad, we had to leave poor Snowie in BP when we shifted to KL :( I really miss having a pet, that is why i get super excited when i see cute cats and dogs :)


6. Vegetarian
- Was never a big fan of meat to begin with, but like most people out there, i cannot resist a good plate of Chicken Rice and also Bak Kua :p On 19th February 2007, i stopped eating meat cold-turkey. Initially, it was not easy at all, and since I was staying in hostel, it was not easy to get vegetarian food. So my diet everyday was - rice, dhal, tauhu sambal. And there were times where i bought some food, got back to hostel, and right before eating i see some meat in my food, and it goes straight into the dustbin. And then there was an issue of temptation - when your friends go to KFC and all you can eat is fries, or when u pass by a shop selling Bak Kua, serious temptation i tell you. But I kept my resolve strong :) 4 years have passed and now i can proudly say, the urges and temptations are barely there :) And being a veg is good, i feel better knowing that there is no foreign blood in my body and that no animals had to suffer and die to fill my stomach :)

7. L.O.V.E 
- I love my family and friends a lot! Well, who doesn't right? :) But yeah, I'm quite protective about those I love, and will do anything i can for them :) And what i dislike most is when someone says unpleasant things about them. I cannot tolerate that at any cost!


8. Hot Tempered Missy
- People close to me will be well aware of the fact that i am a very hot tempered person. Since young, I have difficulty in controlling my temper. Not a good thing at all. Recently I've started doing yoga, so when someone tries to piss me off, I do the "patience yoga". It has helped a lot, but still sometimes I tend to snap, that time memang tak sempat wanna do yoga all :P  Don't be afraid of me though, I'm nice to you IF you are nice to me. So stay nice and you won't see the Mr.Hyde in me :)


9. Causes
- there are many causes i am very much passionate about. All in the name of humanity. I am a registered organ donor, and have been trying my level best to make people do the same. I feel i have the responsibility to contribute what I can to this world. The first step was being a vegetarian, then organ donation. When i complete my LLB, i would like to register myself as a volunteer in SPCA(my long time dream). I am also very passionate about human rights, and justice (one of the reason why i choose to become a lawyer)


So there you go, 9 things about me.. I might be just a regular girl, but still, I came on earth with a mission - to make my journey here worthwhile. I learn new things about myself everyday and I try my level best to be the best I can :)

Updates From Yours Truly

So i've been missing for a very2 long time, my sincere apologies :) I've been busy, seriously man, busier than i've been in a long long time.

First of all, Happy New Year people :p although it's a little late :) I spent my new year in my favorite city Penang this year, surrounded by a bunch of awesome people :) 

January 2011 was a very important month, because on 22nd January 2011, i started my Law degree (part time). Trust me, taking the decision of doing Law part time was not easy. I have very high expectations on myself this time since I'm finally studying something of my own choice. So basically i am working from Monday-Friday and i have classes on Friday night, Saturday and Sunday. Many have questioned my decision on studying part time and asked me regarding the necessity of me working when i can easily opt for full time studying. My reasoning -
1) Working in a legal firm and studying law, I'll have readily available lawyers and mentors to guide me whenever i have any queries regarding Law. 
2) I can make use of all the Law books at my work place. 
3) I will be familiar with the whole system of a legal firm by the time i graduate, and I'll be quite experienced too (in Litigation) 
4) Time management. Juggling work and studies is no easy feat, so when i get used to managing my time wisely, i know it's gonna be really useful for me in the future. 
5)Of course the financial independence and not having to burden my parents.
Having said that, bukan senang nak juggle everything at once. Sometimes i feel so tired, susah gila wanna wake up and go to class and work. Badan pun rasa sakit-sakit, always feel like tak cukup tidur. Selera makan oso hilang entah ke mana. Of course it takes time to get used to all this, but i'm sure i will soon :) Better to suffer now, then later can enjoy :)

In February (during CNY), I attended the Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji Brahm Vidya Niketan Gurmat Samelan. The name is a mouthful, no? Well Samelan is sort of like summer camp. This one was more towards religion. Initially i was hesitant to go, since i susah2 got 6days off from work, wanted to rest and enjoy, but mum said Go!! so had to la :p I was the facilitator there for the Red Group/ Bhai Manjh Ji (Sikh personality renowned for his good virtues especially humility). I got really sick on the first day, was vomiting non-stop and all, thankfully i got better. AND samelan was awesome i tell you!! i think the organizers did a really wonderful job, and all the participants loved it! They were telling us to have reunion or another samlean fast -awww :) And yea, i made a many friends :) Two notable ones are Malin and Amar@Mr.Walia. Mr.Walia finds pleasure in bullying people,haha, so naturally i became one of his victims. He was our official photographer for the Samelan. Oh ya, anyone who needs a good photographer at an affordable price, can contact Mr.Walia of Walia Photograph-E-Diting :p Samelan ended on Sunday,by the time we pack all the stuff and do the cleaning, it was already about 5pm.. sampai KL at about 10pm, super duper tired and next day was working day :( But it was worth it because Samelan was AWESOME!! seriously, i had soooo much fun, looking forward to the next samelan :)

 My sis Simi organized 'The Amazing Craze', and water games was part of it. damn nice!!

 We had camp fire too :)

 That's whipping cream on his face - part of 'The Amazing Craze'
