Sidney Saw and Elizabeth Ng's wedding ( 03/05/08)

2008-05-22T16:56:00.004+08:00

This is one of those delayed post . Well, I was invited for Lizzy's wedding which was held at the Methodist Church in PJ ( which I could not go and got some good sounding from Lizzy ) followed by dinner reception at the Overseas Restaurant at Jaya 1 .

Well, I must say Lizzy looked very different with the gown and make-up. All dolled up. This was the first time I actually seen her with make up, so it really made a lot of difference...... hehehe.....the tomboy lizzy looking all so girly. She is gonna so kill me for this statement...

Anyway , I followed Maryann and her bf , the great Soo ( who is so good at giving directions ..NOT !!! ) HAHAHA....we arrived and were seated on table number err..not too sure...20 I think.

The bride and groom made their grand entrance followed by a toast from the groom's brother. The brother was really funny cause he kinda forced Lizzy to kiss Sidney on the stage.....I could see the look on Lizzy's face , she would have wacked the MC for doing that....only thing stopping her was the DRESS!!!!

We continued stuffing our face with the 8 course meal while all this comedy was happening on stage. The food was yummy and the company was good......

They had a slideshow presentation of thei couple's studio photographs and the morning wedding at the church.

The reception was simple yet memorable.................I am sure thats how Lizzy wanted it to be............

Wishing both you my heartiest congratulations and may both of you enjoy this bond called marriage for many many more years to come.

Love u Liz !

Engagement - Prem and Tamil

2008-05-22T15:34:00.009+08:00

18-05-2008 - My sis Prem got engaged to Mr . Tamil Arasan

Waaaaa.........................we took close to a month to get everything sorted for the engagement and it all finished so fast.........my god time really flies !@!!

Anyway the whole process was very memorable ..........tiring as well...... all the cleaning , decorating...........

Tanu , Maryann, Eileen , Mimi came one day earlier to help decorate. Attached some pictures to see how much of fun we had while doing all the back breaking work....

The actual ceremony was in the evening. We had guest arriving as early as 6 pm for the function.

This was the day we have all been waiting for and , I must say that it was a very grand ceremony and the couple both looked gorgeous and happy together. The wedding date has been set for December.

The ceremony started a little late since the groom's side got stuck in traffic. They came with 18 trays of goodies and all the trays were decorated with teddybears, barbie dolls and other glittery stuffs.The theme was purple. The groom's sister really made a lot of effort decorating those trays .I did not get a chance to steal the barbie dolls...apparently it was already booked by some gals who carried it in.....DAMN!!!...hahahaha

Anyway, ceremony started with a prayer. We had a priest to conduct the ceremony, This was followed by the signing of their marriage certificates.Legally husband and wife now.

After this , it was the photo session with family , relatives , friends , neighbours..........etc etc......

The day ended with the cake cutting ceremony ( cake bought by EW,MZ,SM) a very pretty American mud cake.

Well....we are all now anxiously waiting for the wedding.....192 more days to go !!!!

I am also soooo looking forward for Oct 23...dearie sis and darling niece are coming down from US.......Can't wait to see that naughty rascal.....hear so much about her everyday and I can't wait to squeeze her.....Gobi is only coming late Nov....hopefully 1 week before the wedding. So there is so many things happening this year and I hope everything goes on smoothly........

Sweetie sent some gorgeous flowers and gifts for the engagement.........we got it on Tues since it was a long weekend due to the Wesak day holiday.....Thanks sweetheart !

It has been awhile

2008-04-28T13:17:00.002+08:00

Avatharam Arambam @ Astro

2008-03-03T16:30:00.007+08:00

Well, yesterday turned out somewhat fun. Deepa akka ( my cousin) and I had planned on Fri to spend the Sunday window shopping at Mega Mall.... and then we get a call from our aunt inviting us for a talent show at Astro that evening ( Avatharam Arambam Heats 2). Our little couzie Sheena was taking part.

So pusing sini , pusing sana......mega mall cancelled, we ended up at Jusco Bkt Tinggi...and left to Astro at 6pm with her family and mine.

Well, I must say that this was a very good experience, getting to see the recording done and how the production unit handles the show.Pretty interesting.

There were 6 participants in total , 3 boys and 3 girls. I was amazed to see the confidence in this kids. They definitely did not seem nervous on stage.Everyone performed quite well and entertained us with their dance and singing. Was a little shocked with the results though cause Sheena did not make it into the final 3

Not to seem bias, but I personally thought Sheena was a better singer among the lot. I guess the judges were looking out more for stage presence and a crowd puller. It was a pity that she was given a slow song and she was not able to dance "vigorously" like the others, but her voice was definitely better.

No harm done,cause this experience will help prepare her for the competition next year.

Well , about the show itself....the host is a well known Malaysian actor -Logan...and the girl was Rani / Raji errrr...I forgot . Anyway , it was a good combo. He was very funny and spontaneous and she was allright.But I wish they kick her stylist cause her dressing was hideous.

Logan was very down to earth and did not have a high- nose like some of the Malaysian artist I have come across.Seriously.... this so call Malaysian artist whose talent is questionable start behaving like some Hollywood superstar just after appearing on one telemovie, or song sequence.

Logan on the other hand, obliged to take photographs ....many photographs...with us and was joking with the crowd after the show.Nice person.

Anyway.....it was a fun fun fun day.........we ended it with dinner cum supper in Puchong before heading back to our respective homes.

I wish Sheena was selected, then I would deffinitely go for the Semi Finals recording ....and Finals for sure.....nvm nvm....there is always NEXT YEAR !!!

2008-02-25T17:03:00.002+08:00

Hey guys ,

You have to watch this.......a runway fall....

I was laughing like mad...I am sure you would too...

Hmmmmmmm

2008-02-20T01:02:00.003+08:00

I need patience....I just cannot tolerate people who can't help themselves out of their own problems. It frustrates me to see someone who has time to maintain a relationship...do all the stupid luvvy things and failed to prove anything to themselves or anyone else.

Why...Why ...Why do I have to put up with this.......hmmm........I hope I have a choice.....I don't think I do..... REASON ???? ... VERY VERY LONG STORY !

I need more patience ...........or i might just blow up and things will get really nasty.I have enough to think about at work..don't need all this extra shito's to make my life miserable...

Gobi....HELP!!!!!!!!

Enough said.....I am going to bed now....zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Bangkok ( 2 - 5th Feb )

2008-02-15T16:07:00.007+08:00

Well this is a delayed post. I had problems uploading photos the first time round, which really frustrated me..................so I thought i should write about my trip later and I eventually forgot.

Thanks to Ei Leen , cause I remembered after reading her blog ( we were in BKK together) to update mine..

Well , well.... was over at BKK for the British Council Exhibition.Took an early morning flight cause had work in the afternoon.

Anyway ....my trip this time round was good. Work aside, I also manage to get some good foot , head and shoulder massage... for a very very very ( I have to stress) VERY affordable price..... 2 1/2 hours of massage will cost you about RM45 to RM 50.
So I went on Sat (2nd) , Sun ( 3rd) , Monday ( 4th) .....and only missed Tue ( cause I had to come home)...hehehehehehehe... You can only dream getting such good massages with that price here ...so I tried to make the most out of my short little trip

I did not do much of a shopping since as you can see , i spent most of the time having a massage.,....but I must say BKK is a shopping haven for both branded and the branded look-a-like goods.You will never guess it is "Ciplak"

All in all, this trip was a good one......had lots of fun at the exhibition, good company , good food.....and good MASSAGE ( i am glued to it ...I know )

Anyway pictures from my trip

Holidays are Over !!!!!!

2008-02-11T14:04:00.000+08:00

I was sooooooo waiting for a holiday..........was so glad we had the long weekend for Chinese New Year....

and now it had just zoomed , rocketed and turboed by..........Waaaaa I am back to work ,..and I have nothing to remember about my long holiday except for Aruna's reception..,. How sad is that????????????

Days are going by really fast...and it scares me .. I am not sure if I am doing anything fruitful in life. Everything is so mechanical and planned and it frustrates me that I don't have enough time to do something I enjoy.... Can i please have 36 hours instead of 24....but then again..I think I will still be complaining

Anyway,I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone Gong Xi Fa Cai! May the Year of the Rat bring us all good health, lots of happiness,and prosperity.
I am sure lots of you would be happy counting all that money you lesap from the elders......me want ...me want ...toooo .. This year, I only received one Ang Pow from Siew's mom ...

Well,Guess I shall stop here and look forward for the next public holiday...........errrr... 20th March............Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Aruna Radhakrishnan's wedding reception

2008-02-08T23:54:00.000+08:00

Just got back from Aruna's wedding reception. It was a very memorable event with good food , entertaining performances and a happy bride and groom

I have known Aruna for ...hmmm...9 years now. since 1999 ...she was my first friend in NIIT . The girl who introduced herself and offered me a place next to her. We clicked the very moment. We never failed to have lunches , tea and lots of lepak session together after college. We caught latest movies in cinema and had lots and lots of mega gossip session.

2002 , we left to pursue our degree at Middlesex University in London....and that was definitely a helluva experience .Till today we still speak about all the fun ,depressed, annoying and splendid moments spent in UK....The experience was a definite eye opener

Aruna or as I candidly call Ms. Arunagiri , I am so glad that you found a soul mate in Nanda and I hope both of you have a very joyous and prosperous married life together.

My sis and Hemma went back to US yesterday and I am sooo the very sad. Sis and Hemma has a 25 hour journey back home with stopovers at Singapore, Taipei and LA and finally arriving at Cleveland at 7.40 pm( Malaysian time)today

The house felt so empty when we came home from the airport. I have been spoilt this last 6 weeks. Always had Hemma greeting me at the gate when I came home from work.
You can hear her anklet sound all over the house as she never sits still. I am wearing one of her anklet on my wrist now........ hmmmm

This six weeks has been loads of fun and all of us enjoyed every single moment spent together.The makan makan session,the gossip sessions, arguements, gossips, get togethers, gossips, parties , gossips......Well..yeah....LOTS AND LOTS OF GOSSIPS..... what happens when 4 sisters get together????????????? jeng jeng jeng.....more gossips.

I am really missing them , so so so much...........Though my sis tries to come over every year and we get to meet her....it is soo difficult to say goodbye...to her, mama and the litte princess.

Whenever she is back in Malaysia for the holidays , it always feels like she was never away ......probably cause she gets updated with the latest compared to us at home..hehehehe

I hope she comes back soon.....real soon.........

We miss you guys .................love you loads..........

Ponggal 08

2008-01-15T11:12:00.000+08:00

Pongalooooo Pongal everyone !!!

Thai Pongal is a harvest festival celebrated by Tamils to thank the rain, the sun and the farm animals that have helped in the harvest.
Pongal in tamil means " boiling over or spill over". The act of boiling over of milk in the clay pot is considered to denote future prosperity for the family.

The moment the rice boils over and bubbles out of the vessel, the tradition is to shout of "Ponggalo Ponggal!" ,a custom practiced during the festival to announce it was going to be a year blessed with good tidings. For Tamils, it is considered a good sign to watch it boil over, since it means that good luck and prosperity is forthcoming. Then the New boiled rice is offered to the Nature during sunrise, a gesture which symbolises thanks to the sun and nature for providing prosperity. It is later served to the people present in the house for the ceremony. People also prepare savories and sweets such as vadai, murrukku, payasam and visit each other and exchange greetings.

It was no different at the KANA'S household. We woke up early, got all the prayer items ready for the surya namashkar outside the house.

Mom was preparing the ponggal in our kitchen....in our cute little ponggal pot.Mom ,dad,sis,Gajan and moi...shouted pongalo pongal when the rice bubbled out of the pot....Unfortunaly, could not get a snap of this moment cause I did not realise that my battery kong !

Then , we did our prayers and offerings for suriya bhagwan.

Everyone is on leave today except ME......how sad!
* Kala akka and Hemma are celebrating ponggal in my elder sister's house.....so you will not find them in the pictures below. They will come over to my place for lunch, and tarsha is updating me with the menu of the day on MSN......SUCH A NUT !....

This is what he says
" Tarsharueben says:sambar, payasam and all the other stuff that you like and I am finishing "

Tarsharueben says:yummy food I am eating

Tarsharueben says:yum yum yum!!!

How evil....waaaaa....look at how kids torture their aunty nowadays....

Anyway , can't wait to go to the temple in the evening today. We are cooking ponggal there ....I will take lotsa pictures then.....

Till then..................HAPPY PONGGAL Once again !!!!!

* Manage to get a few shots after charging the batt for a few minutes...

Our first stop was Carrefour, mom bought a microwave cause the one at home KAPUT.The kiddies did some sand art thingy...which was later assisted by ME....hahaha it was rather interesting..how i wished I had done all of this when i was a kid....

29 December 2007 - Seenivasagam family gathering

2008-01-07T12:27:00.000+08:00

We, the grandchildren of my maternal grandparents organised a family get together on the 29th December 2007.The Venue : Function room at KMS, Theme : 50 's and 60's.

We started of with the opening ceremony where my grandmother lighted the vilakku followed by her daughters and daughter in laws

We gave the 11 of them a lyric's book each (70 songs were compiled and had both the English and Tamil version), CD of the slide show and photographs. We thought this would be an ideal door gift since everyone of them love singing and they can use this for future gatherings.

The programme was continued with the slide show , prepared by Me and Sumi. Lots of hard work were put into this.We collected old photographs from each family......and created a story.... a story about the journey of my grandparents who came from India and started their family here in Malaysia and how much the family has achieved now compared to their very humble beginning.

We included a sound clip of my grandfather ( who passed on in 2003)into our presentation and that deffinitely was a pleasant shock for many........some were in tears......

The effort we put in was paid off when everyone had good reviews.....

The day continued with the buffet and was followed by performances by the kiddies.....

The floor was then open to all..........each and everyone participated ( though we had one who ....let me just skip it ....not worth mentioning anyway)

This was definitely a gathering to remember.It would have been great if my grandfather was still around to see this. Though he is no longer with us physically, he is always in our thoughts. His presence was felt by all....... that day...

We have planned to do this gathering on a yearly basis with different themes. Hopefully, we don't have to face any problems that we faced this time round. I am hoping that people will be more mature by then......I really do....cause it is so silly dealing with silly people..............over silly things......

Though there were some crappy stuffs that happen in between, but the outcome was awesome and everyone enjoyed the day...........I am sure the photos speaks for itself........

Mr Seeni.....I know you enjoyed it toooo....LOVE U ALWAYS

Tangkap BASAH

2008-01-06T14:45:00.000+08:00

Went of to visit my uncle's family in Serdang yesterday.With my sis leaving in less than 2 weeks , weekends are spent doing our visiting.

We basically were chatting away and Hemma was entertaining them with her songs.
Uma akka made some yummy mee goreng for tea and we stuffed our face with it.

We continue our chatting....yet again

The visit does not end without our routine blood and pressure check since my uncle has all the equipments at home.I had a good sounding cause my pressure was a little high...and I blame it all on my lack of sleep....so yeah...have to get back to my normal routine soon.At the moment, I shall blame all this on my sis...you always have to have an excuse right?

After this visit, we were actually suppose to go to the mall but there was a change in plans and we De-toured to Deepa akka's place and here we had a mega experience. We caught 2 species in a very "obscene act" and that too on my sister's shoulder.......hahaha , and our Yogi Deepa akka rescued them to a safer and more ahem ....comfortable place

Tangkap Basah

Caught in the act

Potong Steam je la dua bebudak ni !!

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!! WELCOME 2008

2007 has gone and we usher in yet another brand new year. I can say 2007 was a fairly "OK" year for me both personally and professionally.Made new friends....lost an aunt, had disagreements...MAJOR disagreements...at the end of the year...and YES I AM STILL FUMING ABOUT IT ......so my resolutions for 2008 would be to IGNORE...

I am trying to be more tolerant and less sensitive .....and avoid those unworthy people whose mission in life is to make everyone else's life miserable....All the lies,the drama,the sob stories, the plot, the stupidity ........... enough to make a mega serial......

Enough said about my miserable encounter which I should refrain from discussing further.

I ushered in the New year with family. We started off playing bowling at some parade place in Jln Ipoh....had a wonderful time. Asha ( cousin who is currently studying medicine in UKRAINE) made a suprise entrance.....she was back for the christmas holidays......a pleasent suprise indeed!!!

Met Lizzie today for lunch at Little Taiwan to show off my new camera...hehehehe and catch up on the latest... promised her lunch yesterday but had to janji keling due to a meeting
( which i forgot)..............anyway , was good meeting her and listening to that mosquito complaning that she has gained 2 kg's......aiyayooooooooooo

Lizzie being lizzie ....animatedly told us about her experience donating blood for a colleague's dad's bypass operation. I am still wondering how they approved taking blood from this kuchidi woman......hahahahaha.....

So we were sembanging till we forgot that we had to get our wonderful asses back to work....Sigh.. anyway we will meet again tommorow...Venue : THE MARKET

Note : do not try the BLUE CORAL AND LEMON BLUE DRINK at Litte Taiwan , it tasted like chilled cough syrup....YUCK.....

December diary !!!

2007-12-27T14:46:00.000+08:00

MY BIRTHDAY --- simple but memorable , Siew Mang,Pat, Sadie,Ching Tutt, Prem(my sis), Eileen ( bride) , celebrated my birthday on 15th night , after Eileen's wedding reception. It was a suprise and we had some fun time. Thanks guys !
Gobi got me a digital camera and sent me a bouquet of beautiful roses.parents and sisters got me sarees and salwars from their trip to India.
on the 17th, my office colleagues had a suprise party planned......

I have been really busy lately , at work and at home. My sis is down from US for a 5 week holidays....and have been out for some good fun. Went to PD last week during christmas....and am back 3 shades darker....not that I have been fair all the while...but just imagine how I look now

We, the cousins of the Seenivasagam ( maternal grandfather) family are planning for a mega get together Dec 29th. The theme : 50's and 60's since all the children of my grandparents were born during this era. We have been planning for this event since last month and everything seems to be going on track expect for a few drama by some academy award winning actors!!! ( every family has a drama and mine is no exception). Nevertheless, when we want something done, we would have to face all this hurdles, squash them and throw them aside. Though things like this
frustrates you that some people don't understand the meaning of "together" but all this just makes you stronger and more determined to make this event a wonderful , memorable one. I AM SURE IT WILL BE and I FOR ONE AM GONNA HAVE LOADS OF FUN !

:)

Guess who is BACK !!

Well... Well...Well, I know I disappeared from blogging for a very long time ( a year and a half to be exact ) ...I have done exactly what I was afraid of. " KEEPING THIS BLOG INACTIVE"..LOL . Bad... Bad... Me..Actually I have nothing or no one to blame but myself. I have just been pure lazy.

So looking back, (from the time I actually wrote my first post) , many things have taken place. Let me share some stuffs below

Gobi's parents and his younger siblings were down last year (Sept 2006)First time I am actually meeting them in person.This whole meet the parents thingy was very nerve wrecking, but am glad everything went on as planned.I had to be the faithful tourist guide taking them for some cuti cuti Malaysia. *Will look up some photos and upload pictures later". Gobi was here for his annual holiday so this was a definite family reunion to remember

Gobi has secured a full time job as a web analyst in a property insurance company in London.All his hard work and determination did pay off.Good news is that he is stable,and in a job he loves...but the other side to it would be that the wait to be together is going to take longer. We actually planned for him to set his base in Malaysia / Singapore by 2007 but god had other plans for us, he gave him a better option with a fatter pay cheque in London. We discussed it thoroughly and the London option was definitely a winning choice.

The wait is an anguish, painful emotion. For the last 4 1/2 years we have been together, we have never had the opportunity to celebrate our birthdays, anniversaries, or any celebration together. How pathetic is that? one may ask...but thats how it has been with both of us. He in London, and I here in Malaysia . He comes down to Malaysia annually and I go to UK for work which I would then try to squeeze in a few days extra to spend with him.We tried to do something different this time around, so I had a trip to UK ( Sept 07 ) and timed it for our anniversary......and I was so glad it happened as planned,we had a wonderful time.
(* Will upload pictures)

Apart from this, I have just been tied down with work,traveling around attending exhibitions.I am fortunate that i get the opportunity to visit new places, meeting new people and learning new things.I actually have saved lots of pictures from my trips which would be a good subject to blog on.

So I guess thats it for today. I am gonna give myself a pat on my back for getting this going AGAIN!!!. I don't promise to update this on a daily basis, but I will do it from time to time. Till then......Have fun guys !

Marriage Mania!!!

2006-06-11T22:38:00.000+08:00

Since the start of 2006, it feels like everyone is getting married...and that tooo all my close buddies. I have got this whole list of my mate's wedding scribbled in my diary.....hmmmmmmmmmm is 2006 a lucky year to be married ???

I have been to let me see.....3 weddings in Jan, 2 in March , 1 yesterday, have got 2 cards for July...............and engagement to go to this August....and I bet there is more to come.

The best part is ,this peeps are all stepping into mummy land :)

An ex colleague got married in Jan and when I called her in March, she is like a couple of weeks pregnant.....Damn fast rite?? Turbo ok!! 2 good buddies became mom this Feb, and 2 more in the process to pop out out in a couple of months................

I am like sooo excited for all this people...the glow in their faces when I meet them.......thats when I stop for a moment and think that we have really come a long way since school.....................All grown up, successful, leading our life.....There is a deffinite 360 degree change...

The scary thought is when I think about my turn....I still can't put myself in the situation yet. Just as how much i want to be with Gobz , I am still nervous about being a bride cause I know HE is deffinitely gonna have a good time laughing at me. ME WITH THE LONG BRAIDS, FLOWERS, SAREE AND BEING QUIET AND ALL MADE UP !!!! I can almost imagine his grin.....
