What..? Do I Look Like a Seaside Worker...?

Okay...I am going to write out something here and its about me...! It is very personal and quite embarrassing too. Yesterday I went to The Gardens to meet up my college mate, a good friend of mine. So I planned to wear something different. Something which I've never tried on me before this. I wore something like in the picture. Yes, long floral skirt and a black t-shirt with a matching shawl around my neck.

So after meeting her and had our girl chat, we left the place at about 7pm. Since I parked my car at Midvalley parking, I had to come out from The Garden and was passing by the walk-through corridor. There is a fountain at the corridor. Its a kind of a garden set up there. A lot of people were sitting around and chit-chatting and some of them were taking photographs. While I was walking there I saw an Indian couple. The guy was sitting facing me and the girl was opposite him. Once my eyes stopped at them I quickly rolled my eyes to the ground and fastened my steps. I didn't know them...and they were not doing anything annoying but....I just don't want them feel uncomfortable with my look. And the most embarrassing moment happened here.....

I still remember that guy's face. He was in average, wheatish complexion and his hair style was kind of buzzcut. I didn't see the girl, because she was not at my view. While I pass by them I heard the guy was telling this to his girl, "Seaside le velai seirangge pole, appadiye ingge vanthuttangge..!" OH MY GOD....! Grrrrrr......I was like total collapsed in my heart. I felt like want flip up my skirt, cover my face and run away from there....! But...I maintain walk slowly while my both ears releasing its smoke out like from the pressure cooker....pheeeewwwwww!

At the car park inside my car, I was asking my self, why didn't go and ask him, "didn't u see anybody wearing this skirt out from seaside...?" But at the same time my mind voice answered the question, what if he said, "I'm not talking about you and why are u bothered?" Oh...ohh...that is right. If I asked him back, its something like what he said was true. So its the best that I kept quiet and walked away. Moreover he is not Bernard Chandran and I'm not Amber Chia...So I don't care...!!

But you know what, I feel like I still wanted to wear the same style outfit to wherever I wanna go...who cares where do I work...as long as I am happy with what I wear and who I am...but the most important thing is no matter what was my outfit it will be always decent and full of dignity:)

Alone...For Yourself...:)

Sometime watching movie alone in the theater hall with less viewers will make you feel much better. I think theater is the best and safest place to release your tension. You can freely put your both hands at the both side of armrest. And your both legs crossed at the front seat's armrest as well...:) There is no boyfriend will be sitting beside you so that you have to control your image, your laughter or even your tears. Don't have to worry about your make-up as well...just be as YOU....only YOU...:)

When already set well with popcorn and a Pepsi, focus on the movie and just forget what you had gone through in that whole day. Laugh out loud for the comedies, open your mouth widely for amazing scenes and let go your tears for the emotional one. Don't mind what anyone else thinks..! If its going to make you happy and relax...go for it...!

Meditation helps us to relax our mind. So any form of concentration and focus will make you feel relaxed. The most important of all is spending time alone for yourself. I had just done that again today. "Battleship" provoked me!

Shruthi Haasan looks like Princess Diana...?!

Yeah...! Its my strong statement of course...! I felt in that way. Shruthi really has some similarities with our Late Princess Diana. When watched her acting in the movie "7am Arivu"...it doesn't strikes me. Maybe Surya overshadowed her..haha...:) But after watched movie "3" today... I have very strong feeling that she have the look of  Lady Diana. If any directors wish to make movie about Late Princess Diana, please consider Shruthi Haasan...yar! She can portray that character very well...! I miss that lovely Lady Diana....happy to see her in Tamil version. 

Don't Believe Me....Okay please look at this pics..

Thaipusam 2012

YESSS...this year Thaipusam fall on 7 Feb 2012....it was on Tuesday and the "medical miracle" is fortunately Monday is also holiday due to Maulidur Rasul was on Sunday and the holiday carry forward to the next day. And another coincident is the 3 holy-days of 3 religion falls on one day after another day.

5th Feb - Maulidur Rasul

6th Feb - Chap Goh Mei

7th Feb - Thaipusam

Isn't that amazing! So since the eve of Thaipusam is holiday the plan to get good sleep and awake at midnight will be going fine...hehe:) This is our 2nd year gathering  of PTPL friends. As we planned, Murali, Koki and Prema came to my house and fetched me. Then we waited for Mina and Suba at Ampang to follow them. Reached there at 11.30pm. Before enter to the temple, we rounded around and set one place to watch the fireworks. The fireworks starts at 12.30am. Here are few pictures.

So after the fireworks show, before taking our supper we took our signature photo. This is the signature photo. We have the same one which we took last year gathering.  

After the photo session we planned to eat supper at the shops outside of the Batu Caves. All the way walking we stopped at an open-air food stall and ate there. An incident happened here. It was self service food stall so we have to take everything by ourselves. When come to the drinks corner,  I took hot tea, but was looking for scoop or cup or anything that will help to take the ice cubes from the box. Suddenly a lady came an asked what I was looking for. I told her "I need ice cubes but...." before I finish my sentence the lady quickly use her bare hand to take the ice cube and was almost put into my glass. I moved my glass away and said, "sorry, I don't want." Then she asked me why? I told her "I don't want because you used your bare hand to take the ice cubes" and i walked to my table without looking at her reaction. I really don't care how she felt. But when come to business apart from earning money, hygiene is more important. At least she can use the plastics to cover her hands. I am not trying tell I'm the Miss Hygienic but when you see it in front of you, how could you take it? Rite...do you..?

Then I went and joined my friends at the table where they all were eating and waited for their drinks to be arrived. I was talking to Mina about what was happened and that time 3 of my other friends ice tea arrived. I didn't tell them about the issue. But since I and Mina really needed the ice cube, and the tea was very hot, we took few ice cubes from them. They looked at us and said "You guys want ice ah, wait I call the akka to bring the it." I told them the truth after they finished their drinks. They got shocked, then asked back..."then you too took the ice cubes rite?" But we have answer for it. We told them that one was clean because was washed in ur tea...heeheehee..:) (Koki, Prema and Suba was the victim...poor gals)

After the tragic supper, we planned to go for the hyper energetic activity....what else..of course the extreme park activities. But these year we made a mistake, we are not supposed to eat before the fun activity. Thank god nobody throw out the "half boil". The last we went for Giant wheel.

This view was taken when we went into the Giant Wheel. Its quite boring sitting inside the very very slow moving wheel, but what was the fun was all six of us were into the one "room" until the RELA guys warned us its not advisable but we forced them to let us be in that one cabin (err...is it called cabin..? ah who cares...it koondu actually)

The cave shines and shimmers with Gold Murugan...

Jai Hanuman....!

Its his vow for HIM..

Amman Karagam...actually this type of karagam were more this year..

Murali said this is varisai(row) kaavadi...I puzzled and looked at him..he said "all queued up in row so its varisai kaavadi lah...." 

 

Its mayil kaavadi too...but most of the parts were decorated with styrofoam...so its NOT styrofoam kaavadi...okay...:)

Lord Muruga...Happy Birthday..!

Many kaavadi arrived at the early morning 3am onwards...

The trans....!! (hehe...only professional photographers know its in night mode and have to use the tripod to prevent shaking)

He is coming with urumi melam...

Vanna (Colorful / Light) Kaavadi.

This one is my most favourite pic...its called Kutty Kaavadi (I named it)...Kutty means small and cute...and its taken by another kutty...:)

When I'm clicking all these photos, I was sitting on the road, since I didn't bring the tripod, so I have to stabil myself to get the nice photo without any shaking. At that time, one aunty asked me.."ma, are you from press or reporter from any newspaper?" Woohooo...I'm so impressed...:) Is my style of taking photo presenting me as reporter? Well, I gave the auntie a smile and told her where I was attached to.

Nikkira style-eh paaru...yennamo murugan silaiye ivangge than katti mudicha maathiri posing vera....But I love them all, I can't stop laughing when be with them...it was another memorable gathering part 2..hehe:)

  (L-R: Murali, Mina, Subashini, Kokilam and Prema)

The crowd at the entrance 7.15am onwards...I think the 2 chinese guys who were at the right bottom also gets the blessings. Look at their forehead.

This cutie look so divine...like rishi munivar...he is taking palkudam..

This boy was slow and steady...and relax...!

Bakthi paravasam...! actually she was running and her parents were holding like wanted to slow her down...!

Yooohooo....here arrvives chicks kaavadi...;) pretty gals...:)

Okay all enough of thinking the white chicks...! Take a deep breath and lets say.. "aum sharavana bava...aum shaanti..shaanti..shaantihi.."

After our "spiritual" tour, we left in tired at about 8am while getting the pulisaadham from one family and ate it all the way back home. Really had a tiring yet fun Thaipusam Day with my beloved friends.

CNY 2012...Happy Dragon Year...!

Its Chinese New Year on 23rd February 2012. I need to go for outing. Because its going to be a long holiday for me. So I planned to go to Sunway Pyramid where I found the decoration for this festival was awesome. I wanna take some photographs...of course! So I went with my friend Barathi akka. Here are few shots which were beautiful to my eyes.

The lantern decoration above the ice skating...

The "burning" lantern.....

This decoration was at the main entrance...

This is the temple decoration view from the 2nd floor...

The cultural dance was being performed by the dancers...I am not managed capture the close up because this is the last performance and its almost to the ending. And I think if I run down to take a snap closely, I would have missed even this piece.

Its nice...kind of feeling like you are in CHINA.....:)

The flower deco backing man made waterfall...

The wording meant Dragon arrived at Sunway - Cheerful every where...! (*thanks for the translation by Paun Cher Chin*)

This lantern is so simple yet beautiful and outstanding..

 I like this because this is the only trademark that will tell you "its about CHINA"

Lovely blossom...can you see through what is hidden behind?

Ahaa...you are right...!

 So here I'm presenting you Mr. DrrrrrrrrRagon...:) 

So the Mr Dragon says : "Ladies and gentleman...Welcome to my Year of 2012...! Grrrrhhhh....:)))"

Ohhhhh.....What a outstanding pose!

This is called....Dragon Ball...:))

The authentic view...the real theme....Happy Dragon Year All..!

So after the photo session, we walked for a window shopping...and was looking and grading the beautiful cheong-sam dresses at the Parkson and Jusco...! All were so good looking and the price is "good-looking" too. I think I can buy 4 sarees for 1 cheong-sam. But the thing is you can't make 1 real cheong-sam using that for sarees though...hehe..:) Make sense rite..:)))) 

Then we walk and walk and walk till we get tired and planned to have some tea break since  its only 6.50pm. So we walked-in to the Cinnabon and ordered something that we've never tried before. I ordered cinnamon classic and Barathi akka ordered chocolated classic and for the drinks we both go for hot choc. The cinnamon was not to my favor and I was like wanting the choc when it was served. I always have a habbit that if any of my friends (only the close one) ordered different item than mine, I will offer them to taste my food item. Because I wanted they do the same...hehe:) So when tasting the choc classic...I felt like grabbing the plate from her and run away. But what a great coincident, Barathi akka liked my cinnamon classic very much and we exchange our food item. So nice of her. I tell you guys....the chocolate classic is sooo....delicious and mouth watering! Look at the picture below...you'll know it!

Chocolate Classic...

Hot chocolate...

So that how our evening has ended as sweet as the above two...! Next time I'm sure gonna order 2 servings of this Chocolate classic only for me....!!!
