hey guys. alright, i've sort of gone down from my incredible high. maybe the novelty wore off. i dunno. but whatever la. accepted it, just have to see where it goes from here..

anyway, im gonna post about my insanely incredible friends(: you guys are so freaking awesome. i swear. i was talking to alagu yesterday, and explaining it to her, made me understand it more for myself. all of us have people who honestly care alot about us, and they might not make it TOO obvious. but its there. and sometimes, we just have to look for it. cause like helen keller said:

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”


and its true. cause we often keep looking at those who betray our trust, those who hurt us and those who don't care one whit bout us, that we fail to observe those who were always there with open arms, just waiting to catch you if you fall. but fortunately, it never too late to reconcile with these amazing people. and thankfully, i've found my true friends.


Alagu: Well, you've always been around, and i know that im PMSy to you sometimes, but you still put up with all my nonsense and help me up anyway. you're supporting t the most needy of times and im so glad to have met you as a friend, and as a confidant. you rock man. 


Pavithra: Haha, i seriously love our super long phone conversations man. and im sure we could have spoken longer yesterday if my brother hadn't stopped me. xD but you're seriously great, how you listen to me, and offer me sound advice, ILY tons. [haha, im proud of you for finding out what that meant!!]


Benita: You are AWESOME man. seriously. you're really great to talk to, cause you're so sensible yet completelyy cuckoo. you're great fun and incredibly cute. :D and sweet(: loved your note ttm!


Srruthi: Haha, you really listen to my 15-year old whining with loads of patience(: i really appreciate your advice and you're really fun to tease. :D


Lava: HAHA, what can i say man. seriously. you're awesome. ttm. i mean, you're always around to talk, help and offer a hug. and im really thankful for that. and you know how much i value you as a friend(: your sudden sisterly overprotectiveness is so cute. :D i hope we can meet soon man!


Nicole Chua: haha, you're awesome man(: one of the few people i get giggly with. xD but yeah, you basically know my life pretty well and are super fun to rant/talk/confide to during lessons! :D


and these are not all. there are other who have helped me tons along the way, but these are the ones who jumped to my head immediately. if i haven't mentioned you, its not because i don't value you as a friend, its more because im too lazy. :D and cause i don't think you'll read this anyway. :P
im so thankful for you guys and it really gets me through my hard days, knowing that i can go to you and just spill my worries.


thanks for putting up with all my crap. :D



is happyy. :D really happy(: hahahaha. 


just wow. haha. im high. never expected this. but i guess i just gotta deal with it yeah? in a mature way. :D lalala. 


alright, i think thats the shortest post i've had in a loooong time, but sorry man. too happy to post. :D 





Hey guys(: nope, despite the emoish title, this isnt actually an emo post! xD

Haha, I'm at the bpp bustop now, waiting for 963. Gah. Actually a 963 passed by like 5 mins ago, but the driver ignored me and drove past. I feel betrayed by SMRT. T.T

And on a completely unrelated note, have any of you noticed that Singapore roads are getting awful? Like they're all bumpy and horrible. It's like being back in India again! -.- I mean I love India and all, patru ttm man, but clean it up, both literally and figuratively (politics wise) and I'll love it alot more! :P

Haha, and since lava practically forced me to post about her (haha) i shall.

Lava is awesome and great and funny and sweet and caring and dependable and trustworthy! Happy?

And yesyesyes, all of the above IS sorta true. :/ kinda. Heh, kidding!

Lalala, I'm bored and 963 isn't here yet!! Whyyy? Stupid bus. I'm STARVING!

Oh and btw, I'm on my way home from INO. Which was pretty fun today!! But mohana varnam is damn -.- man. Almost as bad as brahmamokate para (haha, try saying it! It's fun to say but definitely not fun to play). Almost, but not quite.

And I'm gonna type until 963 comes, so do forgive me if I ramble. ><

Lalalala. Dumdumdum. *clears throat*

OH, haha the bus just came. Thank god, i was running out of things to say (what do you mean it was obvious?!)

Anyways, just feel like saying this: BLG<3

Haha, alright, byebye for now. I shall spare you guys. For now. Muahaha. >:)

OH! I can't believe im soo late in doing this!! im such a  horrible obsessed fan. D:


HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY DRACO DARLING! 



He has officially hit the big THREE ZERO. Yup, thats right.

DRACO IS 30 YEARS OLD.

Too old? Nah. :D

Don't worry Draco! I still love you with all my heart! Age is no matter!!

To commemorate this highly important day, which is actually june 5, i will make some recommendations for you!!

firstly, go listen to DRACO AND THE MALFOYS. they are an actual band and some of their songs are pretty decent. i especially like "your family is poor". 3 guesses who its about. :D

and secondly, here is a SONG PARODY, from mugglenet. i tweaked it around a little though(:


To the tune of Hey There Delilah by Plain White T's.


Hey Draco Malfoy
How's it over there in Britain
You're 6739 miles away
But you really have me smitten
Yes you do
Harry isn't as cool as you
I swear it's true


Hey Draco Malfoy
Your dad's in with the Dark Lord
All your family are Death Eaters
When they kill you know they are bored
Don't join them
The rest of the world will be condemned
It could be the end


Oh Draco Malfoy
Oh Draco Malfoy
Oh Draco Malfoy
Oh Draco Malfoy
Draco Malfoy


Hey Draco Malfoy
You don't envy Harry's scar
You're a high class pureblood
You wouldn't be caught dead flyin' a Muggle car
Muggles are dirt
To Dumbledore's ways you won't revert
To him you are curt


Hey Draco Malfoy
You've got to make a choice now
Voldy or Harry what side will you choose
You have to make a vow
Don't join your dad
You'd make millions of fangirls sad
And very mad


Oh Draco Malfoy
Oh Draco Malfoy
Oh Draco Malfoy
Oh Draco Malfoy


6739 miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
My friends all make fun of me
And I'll just laugh along because I know
That none of them have felt this way
Draco I can promise you
That by the time the books are through
My world will never ever be the same
And J.K. Rowling's to blame


Hey Draco Malfoy
I know that you're only fiction
Though you're already done with school
I'll be legal in just a few years
So please don't shed too many tears
Don't get put down by your fellow peers
Draco, please ignore their cruel jeers
Just 3 more years


Oh Draco Malfoy
Oh Draco Malfoy
Oh Draco Malfoy
Oh Draco Malfoy
Draco Malfoy


p.s. haha. singapore is 6739 miles from london. although draco lives in wiltshire, i can probably nab him in diagon alley(:

a-very-much-in-love-with-thirtyyearold-dracomalfoy-arathi

HAHA, i'm being so awesome by posting so often! i feel so proud of myself! yay(: but yeah, this is going to be a reflective, deep post, not a happyhappy one. so watch out.

holidays turn everything topsy turvy. you grow close to people you usually aren't close to, and distance away from people you were super close to. and its really a double edged sword. cause i get reminded why i completely adored someone before, but it also makes me wonder how we were ever close.

and its weird, cause when term starts, im gonna have to look at you and be like 'hey! i know we were close but since we haven't spoken to each other in so long even though we're in the same country, its awkward.' and i really don't want that. its like making friends all over again.

but then again. there'll be some people whom i will be genuinely happy to see! like honestly missed talking to them, and it springs back to being normal and awkward-free as though there was never a void. love these people ttm.

and WHY is it that sometimes you are ALWAYS here and make me so glad, then suddenly roll off the face of the earth although i know you still exist? how am i supposed to bring myself to trust you? i mean its all good fun and rainbows when you're around and when you're not.. well. :/

sigh, life is complicated.

damn.

Hey guys!!

Guess who just got blogpress? That's right!! Me!! Heh. So yeah, decided to draft out a post while waiting for my dad after tuition.. Today was awesomeee! :D

First, in the morning, I went for math clinic. Which surprisingly wasn't as bad as I expected!! I actually understood some of logarithms!! Yay decent math teachers!! :D

After that, went for lunch with my dad, at soup spoon, which was quite fun! :D although my dad was trying too hard to be funny. -.- he said that his Simon garfunkel soup is suppose to shock him into a "sound of silence" (cool folks who listen to old music should get the bad pun!) and asked me why my tshirt (my combined house tshirt) was sk groovy. Yes, I swear to god, he said groovy. Sigh. My dad can be so cute sometimes. :D

After that is the super fun, awesome part- I went to the library!! Cause I had like two and and a half hours to kill, So I decided to go to the national library, which I usually don't like since it's not at all conducive for studying or group work. But I think I changed my mind sometime in the 2 hours when I was happily curled up in a super comfy armchair, with a great book, aircon and absolutely no worries about any upcoming pts. In fact I was so happy and relaxed that I was grinning like an idiot the whole way to Aspen. So much so that i think people thought I was high on drugs. ><

And tuition was also fun cause ms tay and I discussed about whether she should buy an iPhone or not. I think showing her my jailbroken iPod in all it's glory excited her quite a bit. :P.

Alright, I'm in an incredible mood and I'm in the car with my parents going for dinner. Where? Little India. Typical.

Anyway, i gotta run now, pratas are beckoning to me(: byebye guys!!

heh. alright guys, i reawaken from the dead!!

*cue in dramatic music*

i know, i know, i haven't updated in like forever but i am sorry!! and i DO miss blogging, hence i have decided to return to blogging! i hope to blog at least once a week, perhaps more. cause there is quite alot going on in my life, but i have actually taken to talking to myself [aka keeping a diary in my itouch] and spamming people's live feeds with my status updates until it looks like a twitter account. :D which i actually want to have, but it has a loong sorrowful story behind it, which i shall now narrate:

i actually created a twitter account for a while, under the name arathigal, which is what most of my accounts are called, to stalk tom felton [heh] then i discovered that i could stalk him even without an account so i deleted my account. BIG MISTAKE. cause when i tried to recreate an account, i couldn't cause even after you delete an account, the username will remain under use. sort of. so i could use arathigal anymore and i lack creativity to think up another one. hence i do not have a twitter account. sad, yes i know. sighh.

hmm. updates about my life. im now in Sec 3 [wow, never thought i could make it this far!!] and life is tough. and i mean it. the workload is unbelievable. i guess stress comes along in the package labelled RGS but never thought it would be this bad. the number of PTs at a time is much higher than the number of times i've gone out this holidays [i had 5 PTs at one shot if you were wondering, and no, i don't have a life] its simply horrid. i never knew sleep deprivation until i hit sec 3. really. i mean, i get 6 hours of sleep on a reallyreally good day, 4 on a bad one, 2 on a really bad one, and none on a horrible day. i've gone on 6 hours of sleep for THREE days, one of which was SPORTS FREAKING FEST. shudder. but onto that later. :D i shall now categorize my life to better enhance your reading. :D


306

306 is an amazingamazing class! love you guys to bits! it has been an awesome so-far-year with you guys, and im so glad and thankful that i get to spend my last 2 years with a bunch of the whackiest people in school! :D i will now further group my experience with this awesome class!

1) OBS! OBS was sooo much fun, now that i look back on it! of course, it was a right pain when we were experiencing it first hand, but the memories are truly some that i treasure. worst part? hmm, definitely the backpacks!! gah, my back hurts even thinking about it! shudder. carrying that dreadful thing on my back for the whole land ex was painful man! especially with nicholas smirking throughout. best part? definitely my watch and my tent mates! you guys were a blast!!

my watch [boseng!!] was awesome!! was tons of fun with all of you and could really connect! like during the land ex, when we were all dying, me, amirah, chanel, heather and caitlan had a looong enlightening conversation on TV shows, especially those we watched when we were young. rediscovering shows like "as told by ginger" and "cow and chicken" was great!! as were all the plans on how we were going to enjoy civilization once we got back. :D and i think the confession thingum was super bonding!! :D like all of you found out about my bro and about heather and about chanel's whackyy dreams. :D

sleeping at night was so whacky with brillia, desiree and amelia! they were all truly EPIC. basically, desiree forced us all to do leg lifts before we slept at night. yes -.- right. :D and she kept singing the stupid "raffles girls' school: my pride and my joy" all the time, esp during our powder bath, and i swear, she only knew the first line. xD and she jumped on me in the middle of the night!! nearly gave me cardiac arrest! and brillia was so cute! she randomly woke up in the middle of the night and asked "are we in singapore yet?" heh. and amelia was so stoned most of the time. she sleeps the second her head touches the pillow and stone throughout the time we try to assemble and dessemble [hehe, new word!] the tents. in the end we made her the torch bearer, which just means she stoned while flashing the torch for us. :D but it was tons of funs with you guys! love you man!!

kayaking was another fun thing! Me, Amirah and Gladys had a blast. we survived the terrible weather guys! actually it got so bad, that one boat capsized, one nearly got hit by a container ship and one nearly crashed into some cliffs. we were so scared that we started praying and writing wills and singing songs like fearless! :D

and however can we forget the wonderful wild boars? heh. made OBS more fun and thrilling! a couple of wild boars actually 'broke into' our campsite and scared us all nearly to death!

and high elements was fun too! terribly scary especially when you're the one god knows how many feet up, but you feel insanely accomplished in the end. :D

and our instructors were pretty awesome too! gek fong was so motherly and nice, with all the milo and star gazing, and nicholas was... interesting. :D both of them were reallyy good at making us feel guilty though!! D:

hence, OBS was super fun and made our class alotalot closer!!

2) Breaks, Free Periods and Supposed-to-be-Studying time. haha, so much fun! cause we ALWAYS go off on a tangent and talk about completely unrelated, sometimes sick stuff! :D and the whole breaking out into song thing is so much fun! esp when we all start belting out HSM songs, which we know like the back of our hand, until Ms Ong comes in and says "okay girls, no more singing." EPIC. and its like everyone gets along with everyone. although we all have the group of people we particularly like hanging out with, which is to be expected, we can still have fun as a class! like during recess it doesn't matter which table i sit at, i can always find something fun to talk and laugh about! and the thing i love most about our class is that you can be as whacky as you want, as weird as you want, and you're still accepted and embraced for it. its like "okay arathi is super weird, but heck! we still love her!" and i adoree you guys for it! :D

3) DESKIES! haha, i have awesomeawesomeawesome deskmates!

sarah mok is hilarious with all the poking and google medical ideas. and annoying hanjun with her is super fun! :D and she is epic with mrs raja! :D HEH.

nicole chua is AWESOME. its really great to sit next to someone who you can actually talk and connect to, and yet makes you do work. :D its super awesome to talk to her, cause she actually listens [except when she's sleeping, which is a frighteningly large proportion of her time] and offers sound advice. although her brown pen obsession and delusions [IM SO COOL RIGHT] are a tiny little bit weird. :D

caitlan: she is soo fun to work with during group work and all cause she is so creative and will always think of something interesting to do! and she is really funny. :D hardcore OMer im telling you! :D

qiuhui: haha, qiuhui is so cute. i always thought she s super dao, but once she gets to know you properly she never daos you, except when she's sleepy, and can be really sweet! :D thanks for helping with the scream boards again qiuhui!! i owe you manymany. :D

joelle: hehe, super cute la this one. either manically taking down notes, sleeping or camwhoring with nicole chua. :D hopeless. but another super sweet person who is so fun to be around!

mich: haha, so funnyy! with all her sick jokes and random singing, she is a joy to be around! :D

hanjun: heh, another super funny one. with all her dry sarcasm and sudden bimbotic moments, she is super amusing to be around. and also exceptionally fun to throw notes at, asking for a date! xD

so yeah, table mates are funfunfun! :D

alright, im gonna stop at that for 306, although there is tons more to tell, i'll save it for later! :D next up...


ICS BATCHMATES

haha you guy are tons of fun! i know our relationships aren't as smooth-slowing as it was last year, but i still hold on to the hope that we can hold on to our spirit and emerge as one, big, happy batch! especially when we go into RJ, cause from the stories i've heard, we really need the support of out batch to survive out there!

Morning Walk Buddies!! haha, morning walks are FUN TTM! heh, its like the members of this exclusive [haha, no la. you can always drop by if you wanna join us!] club always change around, except me. >< im always the one 'emoing' at the balcony thing. haha, its so much fun to talk about all sorts of weird things in the morning with you guys, and we just have so much material! haha, to name a few members of this club: Me, Eswari, Premikha, Karthigah, Pavithra, Nivedha, Alagu, Deepa and many more people! its just makes my day to see you guys earlyy in the morning, and i hope this tradition will last until we go to RJ and even continue there!! :D

In our batch, i've made many friends, lost a couple but i think i've emerged stronger and more enlightened to the ways of the world after all the issues ad politics. but im not saying its a good thing. i think it CAN be avoided, and we should all work towards that goal, no matter how far and impossible it seems.

ENNALA BOI? love you guys to bits! :D


Buckle

haha, buckle can be really taxing sometimes, especially when you're the sub comm head cause you tend to get chased for things a lot. sad really. but then sports fest comes along! super tiring, cause im always running around, fanning people and teaching cheers and cheering and all. but still super fun! the people in house comm really make house events so much fun! like sandra, alagu and my whole sub comm. and my juniors are soo whacky! like jane and amanda! but they're all tons of fun to be around, and the best part about sports fest? THE MILO VAN!! haha, paradise on wheels, i swear. i do't even have words to describe it, and thats a first. :D


so all in all, life's hard but still fun and awesome and great! holidays are helping me to catch up on some well-deserved sleep, my dark circles are GONE and i hope my eye bags disappear soooon! :D

ohoh, and im going out with my primary school friend this wednesday!! to the zoo! its gonna be so much fun, and i can't wait to see all of them again!!

anyway, i hope i made up for my long absence with my exceptionally long post. :D have a great rest of your holidays guys! :D i'll update soon, i promise!! and remember to tag!! :D

love all of you! byebye!
