Pictures are better than words, feast:

the skin

the inner organs- it has a heart you see, and so do i contrary to what most people believe

p/s 1: happy father's day pa.

p/s 2: happy birthday na. (i have to agree with what amma said: 25 is indeed half of 50)

p/s 3: i could have written both the wishes in one p/s and one sentence but they are both deserving man of my p/s's, not to mention my over than average liking to p/s :)

p/s 4: GUYS IN PINK SHIRTS STILL LOOK SO DARN CUTE. hint: Indonesian Open. Korean. Men Double. Coach

p/s 5: and those who want to praise my card making skills can do so by dropping a comment on my chatbox, and those who have nothing nice to say: keep away!

A review

Am finally done with burning the midnight oil, walking around like a sleepless zombie and living high on caffeine, albeit from Red Bull- yes i drank Red Bull to keep me awake and energized like an Energizer bunny wannabe, and no i don't take coffee it doesn't work on me, sad huh. So yeah, its finally over but the feeling is still looming like a dark cloud over my head. in short i would say it doesn't feel like am on holidays. heck, i still get guilty feelings whenever am online only to realise that i can be online 24/7 now..and talking about being online this whole 2nd sem has had such an impact on me that staring at the com for oni 6 hours resulted in me having a splitting headache, but stil am online which proves that some people never learn i have very important stuff to do.lol

and dun even let me get started on how horrendous this sem was. time, i was short of it all the time. there were always datelines to meet, assignments to discuss on, lab reports to be handed in, lecture notes to be finished, tutorial to be gone thru, quizzes to be sat for, and an exam in the midst of quizzes was just the perfect icing on the half leaning 20 tier cake to collapse. but collapse it did not, and thats thanks to you darl.

~ i know you know who you are

~ i know you are reading this right now

~ and i know you are smiling

;)

and if that isn't enough exam was a major killer. it was so so shit hard wei. i mean i know pharmacy isn't easy, but this is taking this statement to a whole different level. and to think that its only the 2nd sem *shudder. oh wait, guess what am gonna be in 2nd year. not a very exciting prospect *shudder shudder. but at last 1st year is gone with the wind, and it won't come back to haunt me *fingers crossed.

and and and right after my last paper, which was on last wed, i sat and did a group project which was to be handed in in a weeks time. no la, i no kid you. so believe me when i say pharmacy is not for the faint hearted.
we settled the whole project and handed it in only yesterday, after correcting and making amendments for the umpteenth time. it wasn't our mistake, not wholly no, the lecturer did not specify his needs in proper manner, so the reason for all our frustration. we even met with the dean to discuss about this. did i mention that the Dean is one smart looking man. he was just appointed a month or so ago.

but, even with a project in hand we did take time off to enjoy. it is a very long story and to cut it short

1. Thurs lunch at my place, then sat and did the project till bout 7.
2. went to Subang for dinner- seafood at lala Chong, unfortunately din eat lala T.T
3. came back and did the project til about 3 or so
4. took bath- i forgot to mention that we did not bath before dinner:)
5. slept
6. morning round 8 left to frens place in subang.ditched our stuff there, we were staying overnight.
7. left to Sunway lagoon at round 10.one of the 1st to arrive.
8. had so much fun. burnt feet and all, but stil fun.
9. steamboat for dinner..yum.
10. Kampai for supper- non- alcoholic k.
11. Played 21 and blackjack, o was it 21 and poker, o poker and blackjack?
12. slept round 1
13. next day left to uni to make amendments on the project, 1st of many to follow T.T
14. came back to Sunway Pyramid, had lunch at Manhattan Fish Market and watched Angels and Demons. not a bad movie at all.
15. took train back to my place with bag and wife..lol

tats the summary off all that happened the beginning few days of my sem break..it was fun, but sadly it was marred by many unavoidable absentees, and even worse it did not end in a high note, which i will not discuss about here. i rily pray that things will come back to normal.

i am sorry. i only meant good.

p.s: i got a lot to do this holiday, will be making a list soon.

p.s2: i wanna read, watch and own everything in the list in my sidebar.

p.s3: thank you god for her safe journey back to hometown, and please bring her back to me safely when the time comes.

good night peeps, m off to bed now. the splitting headache is bothering very much

love,

sHarmT

6 friends

3 couples

1 helluva V day celebration

and ya all those anti- valentine crowd can get lost now, cuz this post is gonna be so full of love you wish you were loved like this also..

let me start the tale from the very beginning.

once upon a time, there was this 6 friends who tot that life is too boring the way it is and decided to make it more fun. and their idea of fun is dividing each 6 of them into couples. so do the maths and you'll get 3 couples. and since it was stil very ordinary, one of them came up with this ingenious idea of making all the 'husbands' brothers and the wifes sisters. am i confusing you? yes? so i shall explain.. its like 3 brothers married to 3 sisters. cool eh? yes, in a weird way. they will be here one named husband1, 2 an 3, and wife 1, 2 and 3.

but the most pityful couple will be the eldest 1,since their never together. slightly better is the last 1, but their motto is 'violence=love' and obviouly the happiest of all is the 2nd couple. but as luck might have it, any triple date organized is never complete,there is always 1 partner missing leaving us with oni 5 people. and naturally the 1 without the partner gets bullied. its a sin not to.

time flew, when suddenly they realised feb 14 was approaching fast and the husbands were racking their brains for ideas, when by the blessing of god husband 3 came up with this kick ass of a plan. hats off to 'him'. it was a real shock coming from 'him', 'he' was after all the person who said that the long kavadi is so beautiful, when in reality it was a lamp post. but thats another story for another day.

so back to this story i was telling, a tiny hint:
all 6 of them are girls.
and i am one of them.
i am the 2nd husband.
don't ask why we do this.
its all the stress of studying.
and none of us are gay.
not yet anyway.lol.

phew, that was a mighty long story cut real short. so the plan for feb14 was to give each of the wifes notes, (but they will not know that its from us)that will eventually lead to a gift and an instruction to meet the note giver at a designated place (all 3 will meet at the same place). easy peasy? not.

for one, all 3 of the wives are not suppose to suspect anything while at the planning stage,and this is very difficult cuz we are friends and friends go everywhere together, except for the 1st wife who will be wit her other frens. so planning was mostly done early morning before class and via sms, which explains why my credit when from 30 to 8 in 1 day. yes, thats how intricate the planning was.

each of the husbands had something to do. husband 1 was incharge of the cards (self made), husband 3 of the gift while i took care of the loves notes aka treasure hunt like instructions.

since v day fell on a sat it was even better as we do have classes on that day. thus 4 allies were made to be the 1st note giver to the wifes. they are told to tell that is was from some guy they never met before. ha ha. you should have seen the look on my wife's face whe she recieved the note, priceless :D this 1st note is very vital as when it is given the other wives should not see it and at the same time the respective husbands must be with them.. to lead them you see.

the 1st break given was used for the 1st wife and the 3rd wife to go searching for thier gift, and with gods grace all went exactly as planned with no slight doubt that it was from us. okay..maybe they were slightly suspicious. but as good actors we are, we managed to convince them otherwise. but the most worrisome part was my wife, because she is very very smart. she notices every bloody thing i do. thats why she was made to go last. but god, it was added pressure on me, as it was up to me to make sure that it goes well since it went perfectly with the others wives. but when the 1st note was given to my wife, i managed to act jealouly angry so that she was not suspicious and also lead her to the clues and the final note and gift. but she din want to take the gift. only took the note. see i have the most loyal wife. but i loved the worried look on her face la. she looked so freaked out and worried i thought she might faint. i wished i could somehow recorded it.

so at 1 o clock all 3 nervous wifes and 3 overly excited husbands made their way to the lobby(this was the final meeting place) seperately. i think they were so worried about it that they didn't realise that al 6 of us were headed there. and once there we gave them self made v day cards and broke to them gently that it was the work of their loving husbands. at this point 3 things happened chronologically:

mouth open wide in horror
scream and chase us down for giving the shock of their live
hugging and saying thank you profusely.

and with that one of the most memorable v day ever was celebrated. thank god for making it happen, if not all our 1 week of planning, late night sleep, early morning sms'es, and secret rendezous would have gone down the drain. all the 3 husbands played their part perfectly with the 1st husband deserving an oscar for her lost pendrive performance.

i am not sure if my explanation did justice to it, most probably it didn't. its one of the things that you have to personally experience to really understand the magnitude of it. i end this by showing you the love notes with instructions received by the wifes. please do not copyright it:

for the 1st wife:

1st note:
With my heart you meddle,
To show my love is this riddle,
Walk like a fiddle,
To the C2.1 notice board, my cuddle.

2nd note:
With just one look I went kaput,
By the 2nd I was clearly out,
High and low I searched for a gift,
At 1st floor food stall lays the 1 perfect.

3rd note: (the same for all 3)
Love is in the air,
So please do care.

I have done my part,
Stop playing with my heart,
No matter yes or no, I await,
Ground floor of block A at,
The stroke of 1 is the time set,
Near the sofa is where we’ll meet.
*************************************
for the 3rd wife:

1st note:
To show my love,
I’ll scale even the highest of mountains,
but for you to show yours
walk to the staircase opposite C210
and look behind the door.

2nd note:
Hurry to the library,
Not for books,
But amidst the silent cafe
Lays my gift for you.
**********************************
for my wife

1st note:
Red might be the colour of love,
But without you I’ll be blue.
Hence, the blue locker at C204.b
holds my heart and the answer to this clue.

2nd note:
With your love I’ll be complete,
Even death seems sweet,
But I’ve kept it on hold,
Till the day I see you smile and hold you tight,
For now all I can offer is a gift,
At ground floor food stall it has been laid.

love,
-sharmT-

p/s: this got to be the longest post yet by me..

pampered

as much as i moan and complain that my parents are strict and demanding, i have to do them justice and admit that i am a pampered kid. (there bro I've said it) well i was the last child for thirteen years before my sis came along. so i got pretty much everything that i asked for and sometimes even what i don't ask for. as i grew older i turned out not more rebellious but the other way round actually. i grew more mature and patient, although i still had and have the occasional outbursts. hey, i am no angel.

but with every birthday i felt that i had to be more independent. i wanted to save money and buy my own stuff, treat my parents, buy pressies for them and that sorts. its not because i felt that they are not providing enough for me, instead its just a undeniable need to prove to them that i am my own person.

but then again, days like yesterday comes along and makes me realise that being my dads little girl is pretty cool.

it started with a shopping trip to get some food items that need to be couriered to my bro. and i also wanted to go amcorp mall for their Sunday junk sale. it ended being one of my best shopping trips with an unlikely shopping companion at an unlikely place. i don't do shopping with my dad, i prefer to do it with my mom, cuz she is as impulsive as me and more time than once she has said "go on, just take it, I'll pay" i needed to get a mouse for my lappie cuz the current one was driving me crazy with its crazy scroller. i also bought a scrabble original game board and Anglia shandy in apple flavor. both the things that i always wanted. and my dad didn't even bat a eye when i said i wanted to drink shandy (i know its not very alcoholic, but my family don't drink),instead he said go get it. and buying the scrabble was like my childhood dream coming true.

but the most unforgettable moment came when i was buying some Mexican bun for my sis and mom. already feeling guilty that i made him spend so much money, i said I'll pay for it(the buns). but he gave me a RM10 note and said "pay with this, its not like your working or something" this words of him made me realise that its not my time yet to act so grown up and just cherish this wonderful times when I'm still living under my dad's support. its not gonna be long before I've got to support myself.

yesterday i made a promise to myself. when the time comes for me to say the exact same words as he did, I'll make sure he is proud of me and himself. after all life goes in a circle.

and i left the mall with this wonderful contented feeling which is not entirely because i went shopping.

thanks pa..

the words about friendship forever,
the images of us

MY BEST FRIEND!!!
we've been friends for like 12 years now, that's a very long time. we had our shares of ups and downs,fights,quarrels,squabbles,break ups and make ups. but we had stood the test of times. although we have been scared by it, our friendship has stood strong.

i noe iv not alwiz been the best of friend to you, although you have done that to me, forgive me, for im just a human,prone to making mistakes.

im sorry for
hurting you
judging you
avoiding you
not taking care of you
not understanding you
listening to others
taking you for granted

the list will go on, but lets just let the bygones be bygones.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY THANES!!!
im extremely proud and lucky to have you.

and the last of my dedications, the scorpion born on the 4th of nov

a fren that i never tot i would have.
it started as a joke, but she ended up being my wife..lol..now ex wife..thinking bout those days..it sure was wondeful. i had some of my best moments and some of my worse with you. but i believe it has matured both of us.lets just hope, all that has happened and is happening is for the best.

as
a friend,
a companion,
a share holder of my heart,
you have done your best, and im sorry if i made you feel unappreciated.
trust me, it's a field i never knew i was good at, much to my dismay..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PK!!!
love you from all four chambers of my heart.

dedication to three of my scorpion Friends successful, although it may read as more like an apology from a remorseful Leo..

i love all three of you without wax.

for you..

did you know?
smell..triggers so many memories..

did you know?
when its close, you only see the dark

did you know?
when its gone, the past seems all sweet

did you know?
you never forget your first love..

did you know?
that memories could kill you..

did you know?

i didn't..
now its gone..
forever..
never gonna return..

i was stupid to let it go..
i am stupid to hope it'll come back..

but the past is done..
never can be altered..
never should be..

only the future looms ahead..

full of uncertainties..

but also..

full of possibilities..

im looking forward..

occasionally, i turn back..

because..

my past..

not only breaks me..

it made me who i am..


i miss you..

but i am not gonna make it a habit..

i loved you, love you, and will continue loving you..
