*HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEGZ!!* Lots of Love, hugz n kisses to end your special day:-) Have a rocking 22 year ahead!! What’s it like to be lonely, I have never known. So much so I am only taking it for granted. I always had the company of someone, under any circumstance. Even then I do wish I was alone at times. So here is a song to… Show me the meaning of being lonely
So many words for the broken heart
Its hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me, and maybe
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I could feel the sun
Your every wish will be done
They tell me...
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I cant be there where you are
Theres something missing in my heart
Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze
Guilty roads to an endless love
Theres no control
Are you with me now
Your every wish will be done
They tell me
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I cant be there where you are
Theres something missing in my heart
Theres nowhere to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart, body and soul
How can it be youre asking me to feel the things you never show
You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I cant be there where you are
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I cant be there where you are
Theres something missing in my heart Lyrics: http://www.lyricsfreak.com      
Whilst browsing through the net, I came across these pictures. And all of which only made me smile. Apparently I got reminded of my ‘childhood’. All the more i wish i could revisit those days again, but it’s just one of the impossible things in life, ain’t it? It was at that innocent age when even the littlest thing amazed you, the smallest act made you smile, where you would have cried not even knowing the meaning of ‘sorrow’. We don’t carry much of that ‘innocence’ now with us, do we? Photo Courtesy: http://www.chromasia.com/ My head is spinning…I am terribly silent..my heart beats faster every time I look at the clock. Now I know what is it like to go through some criminal case interrogation. Not that I am a prime suspect or anything, but I sure do feel like one now! *roflmao* seriously..laughing like crazy now!! A small bird just entered our Industrial Partnership Center, fully air-conditioned. We kinda left the door open so as to air the room. Peggy, OC and myself in our office, and then Pegz says “Hey there’s a bird in IPC”. We were like OK! initially and then OC & myself were like “oh my gosh! Yea!!” We ran out, hoping to chase it out somehow (if itz stuck inside, it prb goto stay over the wkend wit no air/food). After all, there was no other way it could escape. Really the whole scene was so cute. It was like a bunch of clowns trying to chase it out! And the bird was soo cute!!! I guess it was pretty lost, frantically trying to see itself out and in the process, it kept hitting the window pane..:( *ouch* poor thing! I can’t believe it flew all the way into the room with HPLC and other equipments=)) Somehow after chasing the bird out of the room, we were trying hard to get it out of the main door. Peggy with an umbrella at hand and myself with a shawl, trying to shoo it out! OC with the camera, but didn’t manage to take any picture. Finally when it saw the exit, it flew straight into the door, hit onto it, and fell onto the floor. For a moment we thought it was dead. We felt soo terrible!..:-( As we were getting closer to take a look, it just sprung up and then flew away..now that really shocked us!! Nothing of what I have written here can express how funny the whole drama was. It was really cute..:p Some experience that was! Had a hearty laugh for sure!..=)) Woke up at 3 in the morn, all thanks to the throbbing pain in my right ear. *Ouch* indeed..:( This has been with me since last year. The pain did disappear after some time with the doctor’s medications and now it’s back to haunt me again. It has got something to do with the inflammation in the ear and stuff. The last time I visited the Doctor, she frightened me by saying that I have a small hole in my ear and if not taken care of, I’d become deaf!! Upon hearing the news I think I almost had a hole in my heart:p So..great! I goto make a trip all over again, and I am only hoping I wouldn’t be referred to an ENT!:-s Then again, a surprise awaited for me in office when I came in today. Peggy kutta (thtz hw she wld luv to be called..i corrected saying tht it’s kutty..still she has her own preference:p) actually bought for me ear drops and even helped me in using it ..:(( that is sooooooooooooo sweet!! What is a friend for anyways…*huge huge huge hugz* I know I can be quite temperamental at times, and definitely you would have been affected by it. But being the very nice person you are, I don’t think you even mind, do you?..:-( That upsets me even more..hmmm..so a big sorry if I have ever hurt you with my actions alritez!..:) Well what can I say, had it not been for you, I wouldn’t be the person I am now..*all full of smilez*..:-) So enough of flattery for peggy kutta. Well the fact is, nothing of which I say would be enough!:p Welll I did have the intentions of writing another blog, but then I got a little diverted I guess:D Anyhow I was just thinking to myself as to how many of us have the tendency to talk to ourselves? Not in the very obvious way of course, so much so, you’d be termed a ‘crackpot’!..:p I know I always do..:-s (I am not crazy am I?) When you are in your own world; when you are immersed in your own thoughts, you are your very own company ain’t it? And no one else can ever be so genuine and sincere in sharing such private moments with!! I believe I am the best companion for myself as such..*grinz* Whokai..relax..i hve not totally lost it! That was just a thought that’s all..so if at all you catch me talking to myself, don’t be alarmed! I think I know my routes to the IMH if at all I feel something ‘fishy’..*giggles* yAy!! It’s Friday..wohoo..so Happy Wkend all..:-)  | ~TGIF~ | Aug 31, '07 5:19 AM
for everyone |
Well time to pack up and go home..but then again it feels odd leaving so early on a Friday. No one is around..it’s only me left..and I kinda like being alone (strange!). Well…nothing much for today..just the Teacher’s Day Celebration and all..hmmm.. Yea..so thought I drop by to write a Thank You note to our dear attachment Student Faris. It was his last day here with us, and it kinda made us sad. We’d miss him for sure. Definitely one of the best students I have ever got to help us out. So *ehem* I am already guessing his gf would be reading this blog, so she’d help to convey this message over:D So Faris, Thank You for all your help and wishing U all the best..:-) U were the last of the pioneer batch..and as I hve alwys said, you guys rock!! Miss U all..:D Since..i am so fated to watch ‘Supernatural’, I’d be doing that over the weekend. I have like..got 5 more cd’s to watch..and great..just great! I shall bear the fine charges peggy..:( How cld I hve forgotten to pass it back to U?!!!!..hmmf! whatever! Well wishing all a Happy Weekend…yay!! It was a very fine morning till I reached office today and received a call from Peggy! Scene 1: Office Peggy: Are you in office yet? Me: Yeap, why? Peggy: The stupid bromine has melted the Styrofoam box. Me: Damn it! Let me come over and check *arrg!* Scene 2: Preparation Lab As I enter… Me: Peggyyyyy!!!! How come the whole lab smells of BROMINE?!! [To note: Bromine is highly CORROSIVE and if you check the MSDS it would clearly state that it’s damn toxic especially via inhalation and of course suspected carcinogenic :(] Peggy: *mumbles something with the filter mask on her, runs into the prep lab to get something* I was standing there figuring what the hell to do, and honestly I had no idea that it was something very big since I was just dealing with a melted Styrofoam box! So our heroine, Ms Peggy offers to carry the box and leave it outside the lab. Which I agree, and I let her do it since she was wearing the necessary PPE! So she carries the box slowly out of the lab, and to my horror I saw some liquid falling out from the box, and I was like SHIT!!! Peggyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy…put the box down!!! The next thing I know, both of us were screaming..and she frantically running to the the sink to wash her legs. Really I was too stunned to do anything. She was asking me where is the safety shower and I am like..forget it! You’d get all your clothes wet.. ‘VERY IMPORTANT VINITHA’ She screamed. I still can remember taking a small beaker, filling it with water and splashing onto her leg. Really…I mean at that moment..i had no idea what I was doing. For all I remembered I was sick worried for Peggy..with a possible acid burn on her leg..and a stupid box of bromine outside the lab with the toxic vapour exposed which only meant I had to quarantine that area to prevent anyone from entering even..and every minute I am there..i am exposing myself to the toxic gas myself. So it was all crazy..and I went crazy..:P Now as I recall..i can’t help but laugh…;;) It was a 2 hour drama, me running all over the labs, getting things and I can’t even remember what I was doing! I just know at the end of the day, I was just happy to see Peggy back with minor burns. I mean it could have been worse man! And so a very big thank you To Angeline our expert, who helped to contain the waste. If not for her, we don’t know what we would have done! To Safety Officer for bringing Peggy to the Doctor…and thank God, it’s only a minor burn. So Peggy..shut up! stay at home and rest!! To Dr. Yeo and Mr. Goh for the quick response and for assuring me that since I am still standing in front of them, my immune system is strong enough to keep me alive for long:p Well I mean these things just had to happen. It started with a possible toluene leak a month back, then an accident with one of our student involving formaldehyde and now this! It’s definitely a good learning experience for me. Now I know how to react to such incidents..and the importance of having the MSDS filed within reach, since I was searching for that bloody MSDS..only to realize we didn’t have it..which of course freaked me out even more. Thank goodness you can find it from the net easily!!! Some day it was today! Well..well, we all receive this don’t we; mails on Zodiac that is. I have read mine umpteenth number of times and it has never failed to amuse me:p Though much of what is written may not be applicable for everyone in general, to me it seems too true to be true..’eh?!..:p (whatever that means:D) So i thought I shall analyze and share..hehe..;;) LIBRA The Harmonizer - Of cz..hmm no wonder I am such an angel..;;) okok..I will shut up!..:p Nice to everyone they meet – Needn’t even doubt!..:D Can't make up their mind – So freaking true!!..:-s I am fickle minded..arrg! Have own unique appeal – That I do not know how true.. Creative, energetic, and very social – Creative, yea I believe I am. Strongly say that because I have received lots of such compliments *boasts*..*grinz* Energetic…erm..i don’t think so..but I loose lotsa energy all the time..*muhuhaa* don’t we all?!..:p As for Social..yes definitely..but that too depends..hmmm..:-> Hates to be alone – Hehe..i love being alone for goodness sake! Peaceful – ‘OM’ yes indeed! Generous – Why of course..i am..*grinz* so much so I have got nothing in return, then again I am not complaining. Have no form of expectation, it only leaves you with disappointment (hmmm they didn’t mention wise here..i wonder why?!:p) Very loving – To people I love the most, this sure applies! Beautiful – Bullshit!!! Flirtatious – Duh!! I don’t think so..not consciously..:p Give in too easily – I call this the bitter truth! YES this applies to me, 100%..hmmf! Procrastinators – YES YES YES YES YES (oh noez..:-s) Very gullible – (Un) fortunately YES! *tsk* *tsk* 
Woke up in the morning, only to receive a call from a friend far away with Onam wishes and well that was really sweet..:-) I was sooo touched! After much thinking I decided to apply for a day off. I had no such intention initially, well I am not in an ‘Onam’ mood so to speak:> Then again, I wouldn’t have slept peacefully knowing that I made my granny do all the preparations by herself. If not for her, we definitely wouldn’t have had a scrumptious meal for sure! *hugz and kisses to my granny* I curse and swear at times I know, but she is the best…no matter what!:-) I wasn’t much of any help besides a little cutting of vegetables here and there. Both my granny and aunt had a wonderful time laughing, when they asked me to pass me ‘kaduku’ and I gave black pepper corn instead and she was like..what?? I was like..’eh isn’t this what you asked..and they were laughing their head off..and then I was like.. “you mean mustard seeds…ohh English‘il paranjnude?” hehe..but tht ws funny!..:p Besides that I guess it was nice to have my cousins around. They were the ones who were really excited about celebrating ‘Onam’. I don’t think they even understood the purpose of this festival, yet what mattered to them most is to have lunch on a banana leaf. I mean to think that plates actually turn them off and they get so excited seeing a banana leaf!:p What better way to end the day by receiving a sms from work..and I have been *growling* ever since..hmmm.. Nevertheless, here is me wishing everyone a Happy Onam. Wohoo…there’s actually a ‘History’ Channel to my amazement! Well that was what I discovered as I was randomly browsing through the channels..whatever happened to ‘Channel U’? Hmmm anyway..this is really awesome. I was like..oh my gosh..they actually have a channel dedicated wholly to History. I just couldn’t contain my excitement and since I have no one else to share this with at this hour, I am here..:D I have always LOVED History. The subject has always fascinated me. I know lots of my friends used to complain, saying that it’s nothing much, just memorizing stuff that happened ages back and all. But it’s more than that isn’t it? For those who just don’t see it, it can’t be helped I guess. Somehow to me, I just had a natural interest to it! So I was watching ‘The French Revolution’ earlier on..and it was amazing! To read more, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Revolution. In the name of revolution, there was nothing but massive slaughter. It was the French who designed the ‘The National Razor or famously known as guillotine’. They always believed in humane values, thus they invented something that could actually decapitate someone with one go, without having the person to endure any pain or torture..:-s..hmmm! Well..the programme was really interesting. In fact I admired a few of the characters that played a key role during the revolution itself. I truly salute them because even when they died in the end, they died with much dignity and it never mattered to them if they were in the right or wrong. At least they stayed true to what they believed in. Alritez, now that I know this channel exists, I am definitely going to be glued to it and what’s with my sudden craze over this subject I have no idea, but currently I am reading a book entitled, ‘Death as a way of Life’ by David Grossman. It’s got to do with Palestinians and Israelis, the war, the struggle and the violence, etc. I just started..so no comments yet..*grinz* Hve a great week ahead..:-) | ~hmmf!~ | Aug 23, '07 6:41 AM
for everyone |
Sitting at my desk, trying to do my work and I just can’t concentrate! I went all the way down to the canteen to get a cup of tea hoping at least this would help. And sheesh..I didn’t get any proper sleep last night that’s for sure:-> Woke up at 7am (I did doze off at some point) only to find myself waking up with a fever. So took half day leave since I had no intention of spending my money on some MC and to of course not to utilize all my leave as I am intending to put it to proper use at the end of the year! But being at home did come in handy as there was a last minute deadline to meet..and I was like shit! And I must say, without Peggy the Great *ehem* I don’t think I would have finished it. *hugz for pegz* The mind works a mysterious way and how many times would I have said this anyway? Then again I can’t help but ridiculing myself for the way I think and act at times. Tsk..Tsk..whatever is wrong with me..hmmm.. I am done with my cup of tea, peggy just left and I sit here in office with my other colleague. I remember dreading sharing office with him in the beginning. It isn’t as bad as I thought it would be..hmmm at least he has got some good sense of humour! So let me get back to my work then.. Mood: I dun even knw whtz it I am feeling..*ponders*
Listening to: Some Japanese song played by my colleague..and I must say itz nice:p 1. Post these rules
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
3. Tags should write a journal/ blog of these facts
4. At the end of the post 8 more persons are tagged and named
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged Facts about myself: 1) I am a very friendly, cheerful and a chatty person by nature. But I can be sinfully quiet at times too. 2) I have never really hated anyone in general, but if ever I do not like a person, I am dead serious about the fact that I DON’T! Hmmm..i am just someone who finds it hard to forgive and forget (tht also depends I guess!). Then again I am not perfect myself. 3) I am very much closer to my friends than my own family. I am always grateful to my family but I love my friends more. In fact I am a different person back home, where I am DEAD quiet and I can’t be bothered about the things happening within unless it requires my attention. I do feel sorry that I am like this but this is how I am. 4) I tend to laugh a lot..seriously! I don’t think I have ever doubted my sense of humour:p 5) I have never really cried in front of anyone, even in extreme sentimental, emotional situations. Then again I’d never cry for any reason and if ever I do, that could only mean I am very much hurt. 6) I am definitely not superstitious. All the more I would go to the very extreme of proving this fact, especially at home. I am told not to cut my fingernails on certain auspicious days or at night even..and I swear I do just that! The pleasure of proving my point just overtakes the pain of listening to my granny scream..:p 7) I never was religious on the extreme sorts. I am indeed blessed to have gained some knowledge about my own religion. I think I have totally stopped praying, for I have always prayed for selfish reasons. What is to happen will happen and that is something I really believe in. 8) Being a very simple person I am, I never really took the pain to dress up for any occasion. I guess I’d only feel good in what I feel I am comfortable in. I have never believed I was beautiful, but then again I have tons of friends around me to always remind me that I am. Okie whatever I have written thus far are what you call facts about me:p Hmmm nothing inetersting I believe but I did enjoy doing this. Thanks for tagging Suji..:-) So I am forwarding this favour to.. Peggy *muhuhaa* > http://pegz8.multiply.com/ The other 7 names are pretty much invisible, only I can see…so my apologies..*grinz* Mood: I am hungry:p
Listening to: Absolute silence
Reading: Work materials..sheesh..really:p
Eating: Nuffin..oh I mean nothing..:p
Drinking: I am not thirsty…yet:-s “You are stubborn like my grandmother..Vinitha Vijayan”.. Well that was what Peggy told me today, and I was *roflol* Hmmm…‘stubborn’ was a word I never associated myself with. Then again I could have been wrong! Being the very easy going person I am, I never had the reason to be stubborn. Now me thinks again..hmmm..*dozes off to sleep*..opps..then again I have got some Risk Assesments to finish..*damn!* [I can bet I would end up not finishing it anyways..let me just see..hehe] Had an interesting chat with Peggy on homosexuality during lunch. All the more I was amazed with some findings..:p (shh!) I mean we didn’t intend to bring up this topic, somehow something inspired us, and we ended it with some speculations..:p whatever! All the more I was more amazed with the rising trend in homosexuality so to speak, even in a much conservative society out here. So how open are we to these group of people? Are they even accepted in this society so to speak? The general consensus would be ‘No’ I think! Should you ask me, I believe every individual has the right to choose to live their life’s their own way. Who are we to judge or criticize? In fact I do admire them to some extent because they have after all much courage to face all odds and live life their way. They chose to be different and for that I don’t think they should be ostracized..:-> And ok, stop worrying! I am definitely happy being a girl and it shall remain so for the rest of my life..:D The day went on to where I was queuing for 969 in Tampines Interchange on my way back home. There was this lady beside me, listening to music and all. I was lost in my own thoughts! All of a sudden she grabbed hold of her bag, snatched out her wallet and took out a picture of which I believe was of her loved one. She was looking at it for long, her eyes fixed at that person in the picture and all of a sudden, she smiled. And that somehow made me smile too. Don’t find me being crazy or a busybody (I am not! This act just caught my eye..hehe:p) I just found that sweet. Apparently she must have missed that person and she carried that picture around with her. Awww…that’s just sweet!..:-) The day ended with me leaving my tuition kid’s place only to be disappointed by her behavior. She has no form of whatever respect for the maid in the house. She literally shouted at her for no apparent reason and the poor lady just kept silent. C’mmon she is only 10 years old but with such an arrogant attitude:-> All I could do was to stare at her, and she didn’t look back. Probably felt ashamed of her own action..which is good! Least she felt some remorse. Kids nowadays, totally spoilt. Blame it on the parents or the environment they are growing in I don’t know. Still this isn’t an excuse for sure..hmmm.. I am back!!!! Erm this message is for whoever who even realised I went missing:p. And before I even write any further, my sincere gratitude to my few friends who has been there for me. Many smilez and hugz to them all..:-) (you know who you are!) This time, I am back for myself!
Alrite, so I just reached home from my D&D and mind you it’s 12mn. Tht’s cool..because my granny didn’t question me (it ought to snow here in s‘pore soon..but weather forecast says otherwise:p). She looked at me, I guess only to be relieved I am back home. Hmmm..and I only wished I could have stayed longer at the party but that would have meant a massive police search for me all the way from Yishun, so I did not take the risk of course.
I think I enjoyed myself to the maximum today, tonight and I was all full of smiles and laughter after such a long time. I guess I should consider myself really privileged to be working here in ITE, for it was an event like no other. As always, at such gatherings, I felt really proud to be part of such a big organization and being a Singaporean of course (’eh? Whatever! I am just being a little patriotic here..:D)
The theme for the event was ‘Kampong’ which means ‘village’. Therefore, you were literally expected to dress traditionally and I chose to be a little different only because I was too lazy to pull out my Punjabi suit and wear it on. So the closest outfit I could find that somehow resembled ‘kampongish’ was the black top I bought months back, which I wore it only once. Though I did not get complimented for the best dressed for the theme, at least people commented I would be going over to St. James right after the event (a pub!)..yea rite!..:p Erm okie, as in I was too retro..!
And so peggy and myself celebrated to the fact that our master plan did work out in the end. We ended up sitting together, away from someone in particular..*phew!* otherwise our evening would have been spoilt for sure..sorry to say. Then of course there was Dr. Yeo, one of the very few sporting personalities I have ever come across. Really he is such a sport and he is someone fun to be around with and I am always proud to have been his student once..:-)
Besides the food, what I enjoyed most was the MC of the day. I loved him and I don’t see how anyone else would object to that. He was funny..and he really made the whole event a fun filled one.
Awesome..I know I had a great time..I really needed this for sure…hmmm…
So that’s the way..ahuh..ahuh..I like it..ahuh ahuh..
Rock on pplz…hve a great wkend..:-) I am back!!!! Erm this message is for whoever who even realised I went missing:p. And before I even write any further, my sincere gratitude to my few friends who has been there for me. Many smilez and hugz to them all..:-) (you know who you are!) This time, I am back for myself!

Awesome..I know I had a great time..I really needed this for sure…hmmm… So that’s the way..ahuh..ahuh..I like it..ahuh ahuh.. Rock on pplz…hve a great wkend..:-) I just watched an amazing movie, “Rang De Basanti”. It’s been a year since this movie was out and I have been dying ever since to watch it, and it was one of the movies most of my friends rated as ‘worth watching!’. And true enough, the movie was fabulous! Watching that movie had some impact on me, though it was entirely based on Indian politics and waking up India sorts. Somehow..somewhere in the movie it was mentioned, you live life 2 ways. It’s either you accept and adapt to whatever that is happening around you OR you take responsibility to change things around you and live it the way you want. And so I would definitely agree with the second one. Instead of sitting down and brooding over what has happened I might as well wake up and take some initiative in bringing about changes. Hmmm it took a movie to wake me up!! | |
