Monday, January 30, 2006 anuja is not so alone in hall. 8:53 PM my god dance class today was madnesss. i asked prapti to lend me a blouse, and she brought me one that vaguely matched - unfortunately its sleeves were as long as harti's hair, and the back was how bloody high i felt like a grandmother. i was soo unused to the excess covering up. but she's such a sweetie... she brought a matching blouse for my other sari as well (which has a hole so i cant wear that anymore sigh.) and then she happily tells me that she doesnt use thes eblouses cos they look yucky. yaaargh. we feasted on vadais, samosas, thayir saadham, and papadum with spicy mint chutney - and then we realised: we still had to dance. hahhaa. we all felt the food jumping around in our tummies. and i kept burping mint chutney. grossss. girls rule la. on thursday we're all going to celebrate the end of this damn dance thing by watching rang de basanti somewhere in singapore and then pig out on the pizzas that girish promised us but we will never get so pfffffft. yay happiness. i soo have work to do but, you know, i'll get down to it, like, later, or something. haaah. tmr's prac has been pushed from 1 to 4, so i have more time to study! yippee!! and i must say, joel is such a sweetie. he didn't want to leave poor noojie all by herself on cny, took me out to lunch. had a good time, i must say. and that tiramisu-baileys combination was just delicious, but utterly sinful. =) haah. have decided to take on the responsibility in finding joel a girlfriend that is well suited to joel's mental capacity. -wink- and i think i know just the person...although he says he will not trust me to find him a girl (why does everyone say that? tragic i say) and that he will not trust any girl who knows me but whatever. he'll regret saying that! i will find him such a nice girl that he and his mother will approve of and i will be the best matchmaker ever! wheeee. i rule. btw, joel fantasizes about hot japanese-irish twins. anyone available? -wink- 1 comments funfunfun!! bada fun hai. 12:06 AM parvin has duty (till monday 8 am) and so sadly, he wasn't able to make it both yday and today, and i was a tad bit apprehensive about not having any company company - if you get what i mean. but the med guys - aziz and raj, put me completely at ease. i was laughing hysterically at their blunders (okay, maybe a bit too hysterically. maybe i scared them hahaha). raj, the genius, thought that serangoon mrt station was situated in the heart of serangoon road. yes, that may be excusable! but not if you stay in serangoon central right?? SIGH. i swear, med students. i repeat: the doctors of the future. it worries me. all day long were references to yesterdays -ahem- events. which didn't amuse huren at all, but it sure tickled the rest of us. haaahaha. i shall have to put up my few pictures, which im sure, will give everyone a generla idea of what happened. -evil laughter- then came matchmaking services. i've got to find aziz a nice indian muslim girl, and raj (who is apparently brahmin) a nice atypical brahmin girl. if that doesn't work out, we're staging indian muslim idol and brahmin idol. teeheehee. indian muslim idol has more vacancies, he is allowed 4 wives, yes? -grin- i also met this amazing guy. he's chinese. and get this: his ringtone is manmatha raasa, he doesn;t know who jamie yeo the dj is, but he knows mohd rafi. he learns the sitar, dance, indian music and violin. we had a delightful discussion about dance theory. and he proved that he's not ignorant when i said: oh we had to learn the hitting thing, and he replied: oh you mean the nattuvangam? i was ashamed of myself. waaah. he rules. he should so have an indian name. he is more indian than the rest of us man. anddd the world is a tiny tiny place. i met mrs thanabal! my pri sch tamil teacheR! kept shooting her this 'do i look familiar to you?' look, but to utter disappointment, she didn't seem to remember me. haha i went up to her and spoke to her anyway and guess what? she said: ohh you're puja's sister! oh great. see, this blog is how aptly named. sigh. sulk. mope. haah she seemed to remember most of us. doesn't remember sharline, tho. hmmm. so nice to see her. ms rajamani and her are still working in rgps! and i am proud of myself that i could still carry out a decent conversation with her in tamil. hope i didn't sothappufy too much. hurhur. hurne's mum and her are like childhood friends or something. like how cool is that?!? her kid, alamelu (for some strange reason i remember my pri sch tamil teacher's kid's name - it's alamelu mangai btw) has grown up and is no longer a cute little girl. i also met an anusha - this small little girl who was being fed baby food and kept throwing her green plastic dinosaur toy on the floor, kicking off her shoes. haah but she's my namesake. okay, half my namesake. no wi know 2 anushas, one anupama and one anuradha. yay. the anu clan. on the other hand, there is an uja clan: anuja, puja and tanuja. hahaha. don't be jealous that you aren't in it okay?? hahhaa. so fun. this has been the funnest CNY hols ever. 0 comments Sunday, January 29, 2006 anuja is all alone in hall part 2 9:25 AM on a lighter note, had fun at huren's thing yesterday. didn't know anyone too well...it was only silly sally ir saleem from my batch, but got along all fine and dandy with the year 2 med girls. hahaha. the only thing is i wish they'd speak more english - too much of these medical terms can drive anyone crazy i swear. =) wish they hadn't done the drinking thing tho. too strong. not pleasant. innocent anuja not used to shots. but it was good fun watching people forget their 7 times table and muttering random things. statement of the day was: not too much salt, please. i'm diabetic. and they are medicine students. tomorrow's doctors. suddenly i'm not so sure that i trust them. -grin- 0 comments Saturday, January 28, 2006 anuja is all alone in hall. 2:15 PM had a strange lunch of friend rice, one watermelon slice and one papaya slice (must be healthy! must eat fruits!) and wheat cracker biscuits. was too sleepy to actually thnk of what work to do, in any case didn't feel like doing anything but laze around till it's time to leave...oh! but the guilT! all my wonderful cny mugging plans! i tell u one day of clubbing can screw up your sleep cycle. :s contemplated studying my micro econs, so that i could do my next tutorial and not screw up the next quiz...but thinking about indifference curves and budget lines and MRS and dd curves didn't make me feel too good. haha. so as a compromise will read 6 pages of my TS reading, and then clean my rather messy room. but even that is a daunting task, the words are swimming around not wanting to be read. ack. oh well. anuja i promise to study tomorrow! i will do microecons tmr! buck up, bitch. 0 comments Friday, January 27, 2006 of rawls and rationing 10:52 PM rawls gave us another view of the social contract theory, which he called the original position. in his version, he bases his theory on the assumption on the veil of ignorance. now what is the veil of ignorance? i was baffled too. but this is what he did. he put the theory into a context. the issue was the purchasing of HDB flats in sg, on how one is unable to purchase a hdb flat unless you're married, or living with a relative. that means that homosexuals, single parents, and unmarried people who want to purchase a flat, well, can't. unless you're above 35, then you're allowed to do whatever you want. what kenneth did was to give us all characters. characters in different scenarios - you could be a 48 year old homemaker living in a condo by the sea with 2 kids, and you're quite apathetic to the housing scenario, cos it doesn't concern you, or you could be a homosexual living with parents and 3 other siblings in a small 3 rm flat and you cant move out cos you're gay even if you have the money, you can't biu ya house, or you could have been a single mother who has a kid out of wedlock unable to buy a house, or a wife who wants to divorce her abusive husband, or a rich business man who doesn;t want to pay tax to subsidize housing - and you're supposed to react to the policy keeping the character assigned to you in mind. after arguing back and forth on why you want to change/not change the housing policy, kenneth takes back our characters. now we are identity less, and we don't know what situation we could be in. in such a state, would we or would we not support the housing policy? the probability that you could end up as the single mum or as the rich business man is equally high. so how would your response to the policy change? woah. it was so interesting. and hilarious. (esp guys who ended being housewives or ended up with an abusive husband. hahaha. we were hysterical.) point is, kenneth got the point across beautifully. if only all lessons could be this fun. =) anyway, my parents ran away for a romantic holiday. by themselves. and left me behind all by myself. sigh. i am unloved. hahaha. so i decided no point gg home, since they're not in. and besides, all my books are here, and i have ot go for dance class like almost everyday so might as well rot in hall. and huren's celebrating his bday and i may go for nus sikh soc's bhangra nite, so we'll see how things go. haha. and i realised, that i have to scrounge for my own food!! yargh. i refuse to hungry. im set for the next 2 days if i ration my resources but after monday...i may run out of fooood. TRAGIC i say. hahhaa. i will not allow myself to starrrrve!! i cant even beg/borrow from neighbours, no one is in. =( hall is empTy. sigh. i wonder how livin goverseas will be like if i am struggling to feed myself for 4 days. hah. 0 comments Sunday, January 22, 2006 all hail the president of india 5:52 PM oh well. i feel bad for sunitha teacher, she is just the sweetest. but dear girish obviously dominates. the calculations, the choreography...all done by him. the poor woman has like absolutely no say at all in steps and formations. sigh. collaborative effort? sorry, i just don't see it. such pretence, i swear. but i must say it's been ages since i've done a group performance. dancing with others is obviously more fun than dancing solo. and if this is the kind of oppurtunity that lets us do grpoup performances, i guess it's better than nothing. and at the same time we get to interact with other teacher's students and make new friends...so it IS fun. =) anu is hilarious, suja is so cute. and minal teacher's students are the youngest, but they're so nice. the small girl, she's 15, but soo tiny, dances so well. =) ah! that girish! he does some weird combination of steps, superfast, andt hen turns to us blur children and asks, so what did i just do? like how are WE supposed to know? sigh. anu tries to fake it that she remembers (supposedly she does that all the time hahaha) and she turns out to be wrong. LOL. so we start all over again, trying to fit steps into the song...even if it's in aadi, the calculations are all so screwed up. sigh. but girish, he's so pretty. i is jealous. they'd better let us take pictures with mr president. HAH. so fun. 0 comments Friday, January 20, 2006 WE WON! (second.) 2:37 PM (question read out) - crap i dont know how to answer the question. - oh no nor do i. - melodeee help!! - i also dont know! (mike shuffles around, while the game master threatens that if we take more time, we're screwed) - nevermind say anythinG! - errrr. -mumblewumble we were last after the first round (cos mel was paralysed after looking at the buzzer. and the other halls were faster in pressing the buzzer. BUT we caught up after temasek wagered an easy question for 100 points (WOW) and we got that right! yippeee we rule. even if we are silly arts students and in our first year. did you know that flammable and inflammable mean the same thing? i didn't! haha unfortunately though. bloody trick question. SULK. and even though we didnt pick the hard questions, the other idiots kept throwing it back at us and we were completely flabbergasted at some of them. sigh. it was thrilling. even if we didn't win. the ke7 people are very nice, glad they won. smart too! =) and...we won sheares!! hahahaha now the great plan is to go to sheares for supper. and gloat. oh, we invited ke7 along to join us in our gloating. hahaha. we are eeevil. but hooray to desiree melody and mee. (oh, i mean desiree, melody and I.hahaha) hall master says we'll get $100 in cash. wheee!! 0 comments PROSE! 8:24 AM spent yesterday trying to speak proper english (ey my england very the powderful one!) and teaching chinese and punjabi people tamil (okay last time: nee oru karappanpoochi), singing chinese new year songs in the middle of bugis -tong tong ciang!- (supposedly thats wrong but i don't care) but you get the idea, not much english speaking was involved. haha. how? die lor. doesn't make things any easier when anuja, melody and desiree are involved. we're self confessed bimbos, and melody has a rather unhealthy obsession with pressing the buzzer. desiree, has a thing for old ang moh men with weird accents. the guy who is reading out or questions is an ang moh man with a weird accent. haahaha. i am scared. and mel wants to leave an hour earlier so that we won't be late...we just have to get to another place in nus. hahha that's really far. anddd they're making us wear ugly clothes!! eeks. our hall t shirt, with the ugly nus jacket - it's orange and blue, how unglam!! with formal pants! fashion disaster i say. but, i must say, it's soooo works for the ke7 contestants - their hall shirt is bright red and they are going to look, well, not very nice. supposedly one of the ke7 contestants scored an astonishingly high almost perfect score in the semis. how to compete against such intellectual minds! panicpanicpanic. the 3 of us are mere year 1s - in arts summore!- how to compete with law students? WAIL. oh well. i shall have to find out what are nouns, adverbs, verbs, adjectives etc so that i dont appear that stupid. =) besides, wouldnt want to embarrass mother dearest, right? =) 0 comments Monday, January 16, 2006 stupid horoscopes 1:01 AM this is what msn had to tell me today: You may be feeling a bit of a strain today, dear Cancer, as you try to figure out the best mode of operation for getting to where you need to be. On one hand, the happy, jovial approach is calling for you to let loose, be courageous, and strike out with conviction toward the things that mean the most to you. On the other hand, a sense of duty and restriction may be fighting to hold you back. Take the best of both worlds and come up with your own unique plan of attack. wtf is this? its complete utter nonsense. does it make even a teeny tiny bit of sense? this is what is really saying: 'you've got problems. so does everyone else. deal with it. you're screwed up. do what you want to. we don't really care. oh ya, stop reading horoscopes, they won't get you anywhere.' i know, this is out of point. =) 1 comments Wednesday, January 11, 2006 my uyya. 2:05 AM    My uyya’s name is vasudha If I’m an idly, she’s my sambar I’m beginning to reminisce My uyya has got me smitten Together we become oh so poser You should see her impersonate a deer Some say we look like sisters Anyway come back soon 1 comments Tuesday, January 10, 2006 scandal has rocked nooj world. 1:09 PM  or so mich says. GAH. ya right. anyway was pleasantly surprised to see that she had a blog entry about me -anuja gets all emo and sentimental and wipes tears from her eyes- hahhaha. it was good fun catching up with her, its been agessssss!!! she ran away to lse, fell prey to nasty loser guys (no he's not that good looking, will you get over him already?! and if he does anything nastier kick him where is hurts. understand? good.) after all the will i or will i not meet her drama before hand - i got this really weird allergic reaction to idon'tknowwhat, maybe it was the too much vodka and then panadol, but that couldnt have been it, and that explains why vainpot noojie was wearing her glasses hahaha in a vain attempt to cover up her resemblance to ET - i figured even if i looked hideous it's not like i'm looking at myself, its others so why should i bother. hahaha. we giggled like little school kids, and decided to walk off the pasta, cheese and yummy mudpie and ended up at michelle's house. realised that the 3 years of knowing her i've never actually been to her house. tragic i say. it's 3 damn floors!! HUGE. and she's got a trampoline~ so fun. hahhaa. she then drove me home in her monster wagon, and my dad promptly thought she was a guy. hilarious. mich! i'm going to miss you!! be a good girl and be safe try not to copy so much from tai tik okay? haha. take care, love ya! and remember: roommate's brother, cute. anuja wants. bring him back. HAHA. 1 comments reflections of 2005 1:29 AM figured i'd blog. it's been a while anyway. ahhaa. no one reads this, but i'll do this for my own sake. the year 2005...was an interesting year. started on a high, with a dance performance on the 4th of january at THE kalakshetra auditorium that just left me on a high for the next dunno how many months. haha. unforgettable. met fellow dancers, shared the passion, made new friends who are such darlings, they remember me even a year later. aren't they sweet? over the year, i've obviously grown. for the better, i hope. i've learnt to be more thick skinned, and less sensitive. you can't please everybody. and don't bother trying. it exhausts you. and that if you don't matter to someone, that person shouldn't matter as much to you. caring for someone when they don't tires you out. Ive learnt that it isnt worth caring much about what other people think of you. you click with some you don't with others. i've understood that friends come and go, and there are a precious few that you hold on to (hahaha, i is stealing quotes from baz lurman). and that that precious few are the one that really matter. i've realised that it isnt worth being affected by fleeting friendships, and that some acquaintances stay acquaintances. ive learnt that the best way not to get bothered by people is by being nice to everyone but to not expect anything in return. it makes you happy, and it spares you the disappointment when your expectations aren't met. i've learnt that if you depend on others for your own happiness, youll never be happy. best to create your own happiness. ive done things that i'd never imagined i'd ever do. haah. amazing. ive stepped out of my comfort zone. i dont regret anything ive done, though. (okay fine maybe one. or 2. shuttup anuja. haha). ive let my guard down, and ive been hurt cos of that. but hell, it was a learning experience. ive realised that im a lot more emotionally vulnerable than i thought i was. that i'm actually a closet sap. hahaha. and that hurt, anger, bitterness and disappointment can last for an extremely long time in me. that it can really impact your self exteem. fortunately, youve got the good stuff to fall back on. yes? yes. i've also realised that there is no point acting to please others around you. if you have to resort to that, they aren't worth it. they are insignificant to you. if someone makes you question yourself, your beliefs, your values...tell them to fuck off. they aren't worth it. if you're happy with yourself, no one should influence you. sometimes, confidence can hinder your progress. never assume youre too good for something, youre bound to screw it up if that's the attitude you go with. hard work, effort will always be rewarded - with personal satisfaction, even if they arent reflected in grades. attitude shows. cockiness is obvious. sometimes you dont deserve what you ask for. and i cant do without my parents. although annoying at times, i can't do without them. they are amazing. i can't thank them enough for what theyve done for me. sometimes, im glad i didnt go overseas, i dont know what id do without them. besides they give me enough freedom to do what i want, so i cant complain can i? ;) i can't ask them for anything more. just wish that daddy wouldnt call me fat. sob. not just parents, ive realised that i cant do without my relatives either. they are sincere, they care about you, and they are genuine. what more can you ask for? i vow to spend more time with my aunts, uncles, cousins....everybody. i may see them once a year, i may see them only during family gatherings, but this should change. but even the tiniest of contact should be appreciated, for the warmth of family cannot be replaced. if anything, an effort should be made to get closer to relatives. time shouldnt be an excuse. family...is priceless. any regrets, any what ifs and any if onlys should be avoided where family is concerned. religion now has increased importance in my life. must make it a point to go to the temple once a week, every friday or something. ive realised that theres only so much you can question. overly questioning doesnt get you anywhere, sometimes faith is all you need. fix your religious beliefs, and stick to them, doesnt matter what others think. as long as youre happy, thats what counts, doesnt it? religion is a personal issue, and its not rigid. it should be flexible. there is no right or wrong, it's all up to you. picked up some nasty habits, too. hopefully its just a phase, yes? haha. -grin- ive also loosened my limits. ive surprised myself and others with the things ive done. im willing to try new things...not sure if this is a good or bad thing. haha. ive considered issues, which i previously thought blasphemous. oh well. we all grow up, don't we. what is being a teenager without these? ahhaa. life would have been boring otherwise. dance wise, its been great. an exam well done, a performanced in india which could have been better, but well, its over, and not like i havent improved. ive got more initiative now, not so hesitant to express bhavam. confidence plays a huge role on stage. you make a mistake, dont let that hinder your performance. grit your teeth and go through with it. ive realised that the happiness derived from dance - practice and performance - cannot be aptly expressed in words. on stage on the 29th of december, i remember thinking that this is what i want to do for the rest of my life. it was a brilliant feeling. every performance has a different feel to it, and leaves you wanting to do more, and to do better for the next one. cant wait for arangetram. will do my best!! =) here's wishing everyone a belated happy new year, and blessings for a great year ahead. =) 0 comments |
