Random!!!!1) Dementors - a group of fictional characters, based on J K Rowling's Harry Potter series, that go around sucking out people's happiness in order to feed themselves.
As usual, my youngest aunty and I were gossiping about a certain relative of ours, who simply loves being, a dementor. All our friend does, is shoot snide remarks at my aunts and uncles. Like for instance, "Have you lost weight?" will come out like, "Are you suffering from some disease?".
There are, such dementors amongst us, so we've decided, to slowly exterminate them all!!
Expecto Patronum!!!
2) Raj Anna's wedding reception
One memory will always stick out, like a sore thumb, if someone mentions his wedding reception - the pose Prabhu, Dhanya, Raj Anna and Kamani Akka gave whilst posing for the camera man. See, everyone's favorite song at the moment, the vazha meenu wedding, was running whilst they were taking photos.
Impromptu, they began dancing around Aunty, who was seated in the centre. On cue during the thimingilam part, they pointed at her, and the cameraman snapped just at the right moment. And there we were, laughin our heads off. Still am laughing about it..
3) I start sounding like a drunk mama on the phone, once the clock hits 2. Dunno how, but I just get, into that stance, and end up scaring people away. Hehehe..
4) Between 11pm and 1am, I start feeling sleepy. After that, I become very awake, provided I do not sleep during the above-mentioned hours. Tsk..
5) A tamil teacher of mine, from the past, is a porukki. No, seriously, he tried to hit on my aunty, when she was his student. Of course, my aunty needs no teaching on how to thwart such advances. She nicely jacked him back, on numerous occasions.
6) When Irfan is cornered for doing something naughty, he tries to bail himself out, by not answering to your questions, but instead stare at you. So the best way to make him talk, threaten him with box of matches, saying that you will burn him if he doesn't speak. It managed to work though, amidst calls of restrain from my mum.
This boy, is terok now. He vandalises my stationary drawer with markers, and then pretends nothing happened, till my sister opened it one morning. So the bait was set, lure him to my place, and then, get him interrogated. Hehehe, in the end, he was given a bottle of thinner and made to clean it off.
Fire signs, tsk. They will never admit, when they are in the wrong.
7) Time to sleep.

My Day Today..How one sms which transpired to a phonecall, can change your day.
Varman: Dei, wanna go donate blood later?
Me: What the.. For what?
Varman: There seems to be a shortage of blood.
Me: Huh? Got such thing ah?
Varman: Ada chi, just come la. Closes at 6.30pm, see you at 6pm.
Of course, being the ever-paranoid parents that I have, they were very cautious about me donating blood (for obvious reasons. Grrr!!!). But it was great, to meet the buddy from JC after such a long time, and as usual, we were clowning around there. With those silly plastic balls that you're supposed to squeeze to pump blood, we ended up throwing at each other. And those all too crude remarks made, along the way.
But what was even better, were all those moments of reminiscing the gd ol' days. Days of the legendary Pachaiyappan, the famous 5 couples, the four horsemen that somehow self-destructed along the way and not forgetting, our brush-ins with our lovable penguin of a tamil tutor, Mr Maahnekham.
As one day draws to a close, another's dawning. That's right, my eventual return, to SPH. Oh yeah!! Can't wait for it too.
Right, off to the telly for some entertainment.
PS Ah Mademoseille, you still owe me that lesson on blood grouping. No money all involved, if not, the syringes will come shooting back at you.. =)

It only takes a spark...More often than not, we find ourselves, in adversities one can hardly imagine. In some cases, it becomes a case of life and death. It cannot get even better, especially when the situation reaches its terminal stages, and it is only a matter of months, before you leave the world.
It then dawned upon me, despite all these circumstances, what could be the reason, for us to prevail, even if it is a lose-lose situation. Only two words popped up like the little green soldier that blinks on your TV everytime there is an active mobilisation underway - HUMAN SPIRIT.
How then, do you define this entity, that keeps us going. My theory, revolves around two factors, me and you. First, lets talk about Me. Suppose, I get diagnosed with a disease, that probably gets the doctor telling, "Son, I'm afraid you've got less than a year to live. I'm really sorry, but this is the best, we could do." Ever thought what you'd do in such a situation?
I'd say, the usual denial-dejection-understanding-acceptance scenario takes place. Eventually, one will have to dig deep for his/her inner source of strength, to undertake the "understanding" part, in order to "accept" one's fate. Only if you take the first step, then are you able to draw strength from the others. Not only that, turning to one's God, is a way, of drawing strength. Some things, we call it miracles, you just cannot explain. Like an elderly lady who was in the terminal stages of cancer, with her immense faith in God, the cancerous cells just disappeared. This, is a true story.
Of course, you cannot forget the second part of my theory, YOU. Again, lets throw a similar situation, this time, its your friend that gets the depressing news. As a friend, it is our moral right, to be there for this person. And especially, to reassure him/her. Reassurance goes a long way, in making one person draw strength to overcome such adversities. You not only give him strength, you also show him/her that you have a genuine interest too.
Ultimately, you do see the Human Spirit prevailing in such situations. And it just makes your goosebumps stand, just like how Robert Langdon finally finds Mary Madgalene's resting place. Yeah, I spoilt it for you all Da Vinci fans. HARH HARH..

Happy Birthday Papi!!!I usually like to write about stuff, after I had done em. However, this entry will be a little exception, in that I am kinda looking forward to stuff, in the next few hrs.
1) Hitting the gym with Prabhu (Yes, the impossible has happened. Project 6-pack is underway)
2) Headed to Fazilah's place to celebrate (We got the lil one a tricycle. Though, its technically my dad's birthday)
3) Dinner possibly somewhere (Racecourse Rd seems high on the probability charts)
Aightz, off to get ready for task numero uno.

So izzit about Kaypoh-ness then??Such a flourish, not seen on my tagboard, for awhile. High time, I address the question I proposed.
In modern parlance, the hacker ethic is either:
- the belief that information-sharing is a powerful positive good, and that it is an ethical duty of hackers to share their expertise by writing free software and facilitating access to information and computing resources wherever possible; and/or
- the belief that system cracking for fun and exploration is ethically acceptable as long as the hacker commits no theft, vandalism, or breach of confidentiality.
Ok, reading your friend's, or even some anonymous dude's inbox, given in such a scenario posted earlier, doesn't constitute you to being a hacker. That would probably devalue all the C programmers out there (this coming from the dude repeating Computing next sem). However, its the second part, of the blogger's ethic, that I feel a curious person reading another's email, should adhere to.
Noone can beat, curiosity. We all, at some point in time, have this nosiness in us, that makes us do such stuff. You'd be GOD, not to succumb to such temptations. Of course, if you happen to make it a point not to read them, I respect that. So long as you live up to it, that's even better.
Now, what if, upon reading those emails, you go around revealing what was written in the emails? Now, that would be, a breach of confidentiality, innit? Because, in the very first place, you weren't even invited to read them. Curiosity bit the cat, we all accept eh? But to go around and publicise what's been written? Aah, therein, lies an example I am about to state.
Some might have noticed, that I had written an entry a week ago, about how an ex gf of mine and a friend, had been warring because of some comments passed. Of course, I duly chose to ignore, but knowing my ex, she wouldn't like me to act in that way. So after four entries, she got my attention, rather ironically with how she signed off her reply to Gom, in her final entry of the series. Truce you call? My foot.
See, I had emailed Gom, who has become a dear friend to me, about some stuff I was feeling during the exam period. And of course, being the dear friend that she is, she offered words of solace. However, because I once used a pc that somehow recollects my password upon prompting, my ex gf stumbles upon this, and bam, hits the minefield la. Stuff that I had written in confidence, to my friends and cuzin, all for the viewing pleasures, of one (though I know there are more) clown. Okie, read alredi, can keep shush rite? But you should know about my ex, she has this knick knack, of craving attention. In this case, she gave it to me la.
So what's the best thing to get back at me, for stating stuff on my emails? Whack the people I sent. She couldn't whack my cousin, so the next best person, the one whom she doesn't even know.
"If you wanted to clarify things, you could have admitted that you have bitched about me. I know you have and I have enough evidence that you have. Yet you went on to email me and lie some more. Whatever for? Why couldn't you just have ignored me if you didn't want conflict? I never openly said it was you. Yet you obviously are defensive."
Aahmaa laa, periya GOD child. Please, you made use of my own inbox, and used it against my friend? Waah waah, kia bhaatheh. So not only does she go and humiliate my friend by publicising her email, she also threatens. How again?? By using the cheapest of methods, access through my inbox.
"Karthik can go ahead and bitch about me all he wants. He DOES know me and while he distorts situations and makes me look like a cheat,a bitch and a slut, I don't quite care. Unlike you,I believe my reputation is made off far more solid things than just what ONE person says about me."
Wait wait, so you do not quite care?? Hmmmm. Contradiction. Reminds me of Ah-neh's tag the other time. Then why go about slamming my friend for her views? So they may be 'distorted', why freaking bother?? If you're really confident of urself and you believe you have always done the right thing, you wldnt give a rat's ass abt other people's opinions of you..
Thing is, stuff always have a knack of finding me, during times like these. Nthg could beat this one though, and yeah, I hand it to you, you did play a good game now. I am giving you this final chance, no wait, take this as a warning, stay out of this, forever. Knowing you, you wouldn't, but trust me, quit it. I have a lot more, on myside, that can make you wish, you even regretted having access to my inbox in the first place. You wanted my attention, you got it, quit while you still have the chance.
"You can choose to put this up on your blog, just as i did your email. But lets make a few things straight. I never once bitched about you behind your back,but the very moment this goes onto your blog, you'd have the exact words you spewed about me to my ex boyfriend on MY blog."
You still wanna try putting up her email on display? Go on and put la. We'll see what happens then.
I am beginning to sound like a broken record, yet, say I must.

A case of kaypoh-ness??Now that the hype about the amazing cup final has finally subsided, I thought about writing about something, that would rope in comments from the floor. Especially the last time I did something like this, was with Gary Goh's call for rebellion in school.
I threw this scenario to Sathis yesterday, though the clown gave me an answer that drew stares from me and Prabhu. Suppose, your friend uses your pc to check his email, and forgets to log out. You enter the same email address, only to see his inbox appear.
DO YOU READ HIS EMAILS??Would like to hear comments on this on the taggie on the right.
Have a nice day!! =)

Cup Final FeverI dunno which is more painful, supporting the team that loses an enthralling final, or being gutted at not having played a bet, just because of that one lady sitting at the Singapore Pools Counter near my block.
No seriously, my dad and I realised, that whenever we got this certain lady to print out betting slips out, we always, end up losing. Haha, so what happens, is a boycott. My old man, has been on a roll of late. He predicted, A-D in the afternoon, though I didn't end up putting in a wager on the game.
Here's the deal. Odds is at 20 bucks for a dollar paid. Good money eh? The sad part, the lady is in the house. And the other counter has it's shutters shut. Haha, so guess what, our friend ends up coming home, with that sick feeling, that he could have made some money.
Of course, everyone knows what happened la. West Ham, being the away side, were ahead at half time, and Captain Marvel himself brings it to extra-time with a stunning 91st minute strike. So to rub it in (like I always do with mi dad), I said, so how are you feeling about the final. Haha, that kinda opened pandora's box and he went on, cursing the poor lady who was sitting there, issuing tickets. Heh. My old man, just love him.
Noone can ever forget, that strike out of the blue, from Stevie G, so check this out. Plucked out, from gd ol' youtube.
Four minutes of added time. GERRARDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!

Hacking Blues..Ever got hacked before? You know, be it your IP, or your email, or your hp?? Okie, the last one always get hacked by my mummy, which always get followed with questions by, who is this girl, why she want to play pool with you, blah blah. Mothers, you can't help but love them.
Well, as for IPs, apparently, there's this software where you can track IPs sharing the same connection network as you. And even access their movies, and watch them. When Aik Kiat showed me this once, I was like, woahhhh. Computer engineer seh. But the clown hates it there. Tsk.
The best, is your email. Especially when you use it, as a mode of communication with people around the world, or maybe in the same country. My MSN got hacked in, two years back, and that fucker actually went on to delete my entire contact list. So that meant startin from zero, which included calling up friends from army, and asking them to mail me the platoon contact list. Those whom I have lost forever, well, it was nice chatting with you.
Just beware, of the email threat. If you happen to use a pc which probably came about when you were a toddler, chances are, it will screw up. If you log onto your email using it, and realise, that upon typing your username, your password appears, grab that four-by-four the bangla's using below and whack it. Even if its a public pc, it can still do harm.
Though of course, my email, I pray, doesn't get infiltrated. Man, if it does, can you imagine the amount of mayhem it creates?? Geesh. So get protected, be wary of your settings. And if you can't fix it, break it. =)
PS Word for word, line for line, I seem to be mysteriously quoted. If you happen to know why, head down to your source. I left sthg for you there. =)

Lets Wakeboard...Right, this has been one sport that has probably gotten me all excited for. See, it started one day in April, when I happened to chance upon my buddy's profile. This dude, is a national wakeboarder and has competed in the Asian X-Games. Back then, he would often ask me to give it a shot. Somehow, another friend of mine, Desmond took to the idea and now, he wakeboards almost every holiday.
No harm trying something new, so did some read-up on the sport. More importantly, the rates at some places. I guess for starters, cable-boarding would be ideal. East Coast has SKI360, which is a small cable-themed park. Basically, you can even water-ski there too, except that you aren't attached to a running boat, but instead, to a cable.
1 hour - 30 (weekdays) 40 (weekends/ public holz)2 hours - 45 (wd) 60 (we/ ph)4 hours - 65 (wd)Not Available (we/ ph)8 hours - 105 (wd)Not Available (we/ph)Rather reasonable rates, I must say. Especially looking at the 4 hour one on weekdays.

Media - a proven form of propagandaI was watching the Sun News earlier, and quite frankly, was appalled at what they were showing its viewers. Atrocities that happened during Jayalalitha's reign as Chief Minister, and how villagers have been affected. My old man then goes on to draw parallels, with how Sun Tv is rather similarly to our media scene. For those who do not know, Sun Tv is under Karunanithi.
Bring the media closer to home, we saw how the media here have downplayed a lot of the opposition's strengths, choosing to portray their weaknesses and in the process, dare I say, fooling the people around us who actually made that cross next to the PAP. No grudges against them, just that its only fair it is impartial. Or for the matter, we always want it to play that role.
Then, there is the role of blogs. Ponraj mentioned this to me a few nights back, about how blogging has become a powerful tool of propoganda. And yes, I do agree on that point, that we use blogging as means of conversing our thoughts or feelings about a certain situation.
Which comes to the nonsense, that has engulfed me, thanks to the foolishness of people and what nots. Not like I am all moody whatsoever. Rather, it simply, amuses me. At the stupidity of people. One claims to have been called names, the other claims nothing has happened. My god..
So someone calls you names, big deal. Like I have never been coined such names? Hell, I even was approached once back in Jan, for not having to cross paths with you again, yet this very person goes on to discuss shit about me. In fact, this person even goes on to have a night long of gossip, about me with a common acquaintance. God knows how many nights of that must have gone on. I could have gone on the offence then, but for what?? That will start another cycle of name-calling and unpleasantries being exchanged. Waste of time somemore. But that does not mean, I lay conceited in defeat to these people. See, the best moves are played after the fake ones have been put up. In this case, I've let it all pass, because it just makes you look the fool. And the people around you.
Now, that does not absolve the other person involved for anything. Perhaps you didn't mention it on your security vault of a blog. Or perhaps, you didn't mention it to anyone else. Then I wonder, how your name got involved?? Very, very fishy, I must say. Like I mentioned in an earlier entry, as much as foolishness of an individual puts me off deeply, I can be very tolerant to people, just because of that one piece of goodwill that they may have done to me. In this case, dare I say, the very fact that I am going out there, to try and clear it up for you, does not mean, you just draw some line away from me, or try and make it seem that it was my fault. If it truly was, then you simply arent worthy of being my friend. Remember, end of the day, your problem is with her.
I gave you two options, and I hope, that you'd exercise the option that you feel best suits you. They are, afterall, the most logical options.
So yeah, as for me, I get entertained by such nonsense going on. One has a poem running, the other just locks me out of her blog. The blogger song comes to mind, as I type all this..
To end off, would like to quote what my darling of a mother told me, when I was a little kid..
"Let the dogs bark at you, while you just sit there like the sun.. Soakin it all in"..Score one to mummy!!

Nonetheless, I think, I kinda like spectacular misses more than simple tap-ins when it comes to the beautiful game. Makes you applaud at the idea there.

Lacking something oriental on your phone's design?? Need a gold pouch to keep your phone?? In short, want to feel a tad gay?? This is the collection you've been waiting for. Get it, whilst stocks last. ;)
You thought the sides and front were packed??

Add to that, Edward Norton's narration. I dunno why, but whenever I just happen to flip channels, on Norton's narrating something on National Geographic, even if its about animals, I listen in awe. His diction, yet that certain degree of blurness in it..
Heh, I often like to be amazed, by the little stuff that goes around me. Oh well, back to Fight Club..

Paa paa paa paa paaRight, so the exams have ended. And boy, have I never looked really forward, to this huge break. I mean, the last break was crap. I dunno why, just didn't quite enjoy myself till the year ended. But this one, already two days since my last paper, and I'm just, lovin' it.. Paa paa paa paa paa..
Went back to school yesterday to clear my room. Man, I never knew I brought along so much of clothes, all for nothing. And the bag that I had in my room, like macam going overseas. No, not those luggage-types, but its this tennis bag that I bought a few years back. Still, there's stuff to be cleared. Got two more days before I hand over my keys. Should be done by tomorrow.
Met Sadhu for dinner after that, since she was in the vicinity, judging some inter-jc debates. I tell you, she's one crazy gal la. The antics we did along the way, and especially, having to walk along Brix twice, just to see some bouncer. Tsk..
Today was rather good too. Made my way to the gym at Delta. Man, the amount of ah-peks there. Fit ones somemore. Oh well, the workout was shiok. Its like, when you get the adrenaline all pumped up, and you just wanna break your limits. Man, what's that they call? A rush of blood to the head?? I felt like one little psycho, just wanting to burst every muscle and this ah-pek comes along and says, "Boy, you got power, but no meat. Eat more." Wah lau. Oh well, I guess it was his way of getting me initiated into the club.
After that, it was MI:III with Prabhu and Anu. That probably kicks off a list of movies that I wanna catch. Though the movie, kinda sucked.
Right, time to make plans with cuzzie dearest, who invited me over to her place tomorrow. When it rains, it sure does pour. I'm loving it.. Paa paa paa paa paa..

That's what Friends are for...When I think back, at all my friends who have stuck by me through thick and thin, I often wondered, why did these people actually bothered even a wee-bit, everytime I was either up or down. And that, over the course of the last few months, how some friends have just fallen by the wayside, and the reasons they gave me for having done so.
I understand now, why aloofness, is key, to a friendship. I always believe, in a certain degree of aloofness in whatever we do. Why friendship then, you may ask. We all have friends, with a certain degree of flaws and vices. C'mon, nobody's perfect. Yet, what makes their friends stick with them?? Aloofness, to their flaws. See, as much as we all have flaws in us, I believe, we do have some relative good too. For me, it could be one act of kindness, that could probably endear you to me for a long time, if not, at least I have something good to think about when your name pops up.
More often than not, this aspect of me tends to shadow out the other person's flaws, and as such, I rarely judge a person based on them. Some do, I have nothing against it. Its their way, of living their lives, and its only right, that we respect it. Most of us though, I choose to believe, do not do so. Of course, unless the person has totally made me lose my trust in him/her, then yeah, he/she can 'eat my shorts'.
Point is, a good friend is one, who brings out the best in you, whilst subtlely making you recognize your faults, with the only intention of not hurting your feelings, but rather to make you a better person. To all those friends who have done so till now, I say, Thank You, Gracias. I am indeed blessed, with such company, and it always bring me a lotta pride, when I share stories about you, to another friend.
To end off, with a rather poignant scene from Desperate Housewives that got stuck in my head, whilst on duty in camp last year. In the episode, Bree and Gabrielle happen to have problems on their own. I forgot who helps whom first, but the idea that was shared was something along the lines that, good friends show their concern by being there for each other, best friends show theirs by being aloof about it. Food for thought.

What kind of person are you?
Here is the analysis:
You are an outgoing and cheerful person. Although you get frustrated sometimes, you get through hard times easily and are joyful again.
Your friendly personality makes you attractive in the eyes of the opposite sex, but this makes your spouse feel insecure. Your lack of emotion is a disadvantage, but your candor has made you popular.
Friends of your gender find it hard to understand you because of your innocent thinking. But this is your advantage as it attracts members of the opposite sex who have the same personality as you.
Right, off to bed now.. Lotsa rallies to look forward to.. =)

Things to look forward to..Oooooh... This time tomorrow, it will all be finally, over.. *Yaa Taaa...
I've been having this to-do list cropping up, everytime i try to do Chemistry-ish..
Here goes..
1) Relief Teach.. Duh, you need some money to finance. Though I thought, where better, than to surprise Aisha in her school. Heh Heh, she'd probably end up regretting the day she got to know me now. Radin Mas Pri, here I come!!
2) Security Singaram.. Yeah, been wanting to try out, the whole security feel. Jensen does it part-time, and maybe, just tag along for a few days, and wander around the shipyards at night. Experience mah..
3) Jammin.. Need to get my guitar of its dusty rack, and start jamming with the buddy. Not forgetting, a return of the good old webcasts of our "Live" practises. Oh and of course, with Candi too..
4) Wakeboarding.. Now, this is a first. Back in OCS, my buddy, Bronson introduced me to the sport, saying that once you try it, you'd get hooked on it. Though the price did put me off then, but now, I've found a lobang. Thanks to Johnny. Like he said, you can't get a better deal than to ride on the same boat, with the captain of TP's Wakeboarding team eh? No, not Johnny. Rather, his girlfriend. =)
5) WORLD CUP!!! Be it at the Gardens, Simpang, CHIJMES, somebody's house or my own living room, this would be one event, to look forward to. Nuff said..
Say Oooh Laa, Say Oooh..
C'mon c'mon..

Life is just so beautiful..You feel the butterflies swatting their wings in your face, the gentle drizzle that brings out that really beautiful rainbow, and those movies, which just seem to be coming at you, thick and fast.
Ok, perhaps its my movie-buff personality that is slowly creeping in, but I just, liked today. Though it was spent at home, mugging through Chemical Kinetics and Equilibrium. I might have found that inner peace that was lacking, prior to yesterday's entry.
Just the people I spoke with, brings a cheer to an otherwise seemingly mundane Sunday. Firstly, after one long year, I finally managed to rope in my niece, the ever-talkative-yet-cute-in-her-own-right Denise with the girl whom she claims to be my girlfriend cum hidden affair cum dunno-wat-also, Yanling. Those two, just are carbon-copies of each other, and I just couldn't stop laughing at their antics. It seems, Denise has a classmate named Wati, and here's the deal, she calls herself, Titty. Wanna hear further?? She doesn't know what Titty means. 'Nuff said.
Then there were the conversations, with Sadhana, Sailaja, Gom, and albeit a little game, Jensen. Nonetheless, it just reminded me of who I really am. The type of guy, who just prides himself, in just gaining so much joy, in the little things that come around. Why complicate stuff, when you can just take a back seat, and breathe that fresh air??
Of course, there are the movies that are coming out. The Omen is being remade, and I am hell-bent to bring along my folks for it. Afterall, when I was a kid, they made me watch that movie, and my mum recalls me running to the kitchen and hiding, everytime that Satan-possessed kid did something evil. This time, there is NO WAY OUT. Haha, ok, not that I will be running somewhere.
Then, there are the animated shows. Like Over the Hedge (with Gomi and the kids), Cars (the kids) and Monster House (guess who?? the kids.. tsk). Yuppers, got the following arrows from Mr Irfan, plus they love these kinda movies. Should be fun.
Not forgetting the other ones, like MI:III, the Da Vinci code, and X3. Oooh laaa laaa.
May looks just so appealing. I am beginning to love this year even more!!! =)
