Amma took us all to the temple last night... Dayumn it felt good. It felt like I was unloading eveything and giving it away... I feel so light now...like a feather. HAHA.
This morning, got up at like 7 and got ready to go for this Tony Buzan talk in UM. Yes guys, I met Tony Buzan. Mensa editor(do you have any idea how smart you have to be to get into MENSA??), inventor of the MindMap, man with the highest IQ in the world and host of the World Memory Championships. He seemed liek a pretty down-to-earth dude. Normal, ordinary but the way he spoke to the crowd. He had this way of drawing attention to himself, the way he spoke was captivating and he sounded like a man who knew exactly what he was talking about. His clothes, were all so obviously tailored. Like he had this coat on that fitted him, and he had that look...rich. :P Inspiring ain't it?
Anyway, He gave a talk on how to tap into your brain's potential using mindmaps and how to became smarter generally. It was pretty cool. He was saying that children learn the fastest obviously adn they memorise the fastest too becuase when they're babies for example, they just stare, observe, watch and learn. As they grow up, they get told to stop staring because its rude, stop watching, stop touching...meaning adults are indirectly telling them to stop learning. So, their memory power declines along with thier intrest. Then when their fifteen, they get screwed for being 'stupid'. It was cool la. He had loads of examples like that...real enlightening.
Another story he told us was about the guy who won the World Memory Championships last year. Before he told us this story, he made us memorise a series of numbers, starting of with two, fur, five, seven then ten, He stopped at 10 because no one could memorise it. Well anyway, the memory champion was a 49 year old man form China. Apparently, he memorised a series of 202 numbers perfectly. He won, obviously. And 10 hours later, after celebrations, lots of champagne...a few jealous competitors told him sarcastically, "BEt he doesn't remember those numbers now". To their surprise, he did. He recited the 202 digit number perfectly. He hesitated at first, but after the first ten numbers, he said the rest with confidence. One he was done, he asked the competitors if they would like him to recite the numbers backward...and he did. Like WOW rite.
A lady asked him how did the guy memorise 202 numbers and Mr.Tony said that there was a certain way. Like each number is associated with a letter and yeah...basically. The brain is trained to work that way.
Awesome huh? Maybe I'll be a genius like that someday.. :P
Happy thoughts aside. I went for French today...as usual. Me and Leila had the most hilarious conversation on cartoon charecters and Leila's obsession with clicking on radom ads online. HAHA. Well anyway, during break, I asked Farita where Flo was...and she said he quit and went back to France.

The Truth
There are those moments when you feel the weight of the World on your shoulders. When nothing seems to go right, when you have so many things to figure out and you just don't know what to do. At those times, you wish so much that there was some one who could help you. Who knows what you're going through and if not give you a solution, to help you put things in perspective. That's when you turn to God. You believe in the existence of some power out there to help you sort things out or else you're screwed. But then...God never does give you a straight answer does he? You can wait and wait and wait but the answer isn't just going to throw itself at you. Frustrating isn't it?
So todayy...I was sitting in the car on the way to Genting Highlands...just watching the mountains pass by.. And I was thinking....and thinking...and thinking....I think mountain air does that to you... Well anyway, where was I? So yeah, I was thinking...and you know how the voices in your head get so loud sometimes that you just forget to listen to what matter's right? For me, whenever I think about a certain problem or something, its either a song starts playing in my head that holds the answer to what I'm thinking about or it helps me figure out what I'm feeling. Anyway this time, I think God must've realised there was no way in hell I was gonna listen to the more important voices in my head so he played THAT song on the radio. It was only when Dheepa started singing it out loud that I realised what she was singing about.
My life is like a game of chess. I am my own opponent. On either side, I'm waiting to checkmate but on which side should I make my move?? Eitherway the outcome is the same, I still lose.
Honestly, I hate thinking everything so thoroughly. I never could make decisions, and I still can't.
Take a chance,Make a Wish, And Breakaway. :P (See, that's from another song)
Will I take that chance?

Honesty
We learn it in kindergarten. We were punished by our parents the minute we broke it.
RULE NUMERO UNO #1 NEVER EVER EVER lie.
We're supposed to tell the truth no matter what. I broke that rule a million times over. And I'm paying for it now. One part of me is relieved you finally know, now there is nothing I'm hiding. But the other part...knows the gravity of this lieee....
I only did it to prevent this. Whtever's happening now. At that time it was the best thing we could do... Now, it seems stupid. I do know why I lied. Because it seemed like the best thing to do. Why I acted? To make sure you didn't get hurt. You keep talking about her losing hope...I didn't want you to lose hope either. But you did, a long time ago. And I know this will probably extinguish every chance you thought was left. I am blind. I see what I want to see. But argh, this won't happen again. I'm afraid to ask you for a chance to make it all better because I don't want to dissapoint you again. I wouldn't be able to live through hearing you cry and saying "You lied" over and over again to me. It kills me to know that you're the one that's suffering because of my mistakes. I do care. I DO I DO I DO. I'm afraid to tell you that now because I wouldn't be able to bear it if you told me you didn't believe me. :(
I want to tell you I'm sorry I'm sorry I AM SO SO SO SORRY. Don't tell me this is coming too late. :'( Can we try fixing this? No more lies. No more empty promises. Don't tell me you've given up or lost hope...because that's the only thing we have left. I know I fucked up big time. But I want to make things better. I want to make it okay for you at least.
I AM SO SORRY. :'(

The excitement a child gets from decorating a Christmas tree.

All of us<3
Me and Aheraj at Brickfields during Deepavali. Teman patti shopping. This boy here helped me pick out fake eyelashes :P
Covent Garden, Italian Restaurant, bathroom :P
The classroom me, Amma and Vicky akka spent the whole of New Year's Eve decorating :D
The picture I owe you, Haas.
Sunway Pyramid Ferris Wheel :P
Shavithashree and GC.
Chinese food! YUM! :D
Last night at the restaurant. WE WERE RAVENOUS! :D
Hell hath no fury like mine
Made a new friend today :) Leila :) She seems really cool although she's a year younger than me. She's really pretty, the result of all Asian and Western blood mixes. Finally won't be so bored in French class anymore. She asked me if i have Tumblr and i was like nuh uh...I told her to get an fb acc. She goes to international school and we love PLL :P She hates Edward, kinda likes Daughtry, is a Beatles fan and yeah. This was the one class this term that was actually funn. Sad part, I think Nadesh is back... Flo wasnt there last week and he isnt this week either..
Exams are finally overr! Amma has this idea that I did really badly for exams and sh's just waiting for my results to come out so she can take my phone away and put me under 24-hour watch. Military home school. -.- HAHA. But I dont think I did so badly...it was all oh-kaaayyy i guess except for geo. Never should've studied it a week before, should've known it wouldnt stick in my brain. Last minute all the wayy yaaaw.
What elseee....?
Bet you're just waiting for me to get started on what's wrong right? Well sorry love, you're just gonna have to wait a little longer....
Where was I....? YEAH. Holidays! :D I'm staring at the digi reload in my hand wondering if i should key in the number... And i decided I won't. It's holidays. Not gonna take no phone calls, not gonna text. Youu areee the onllyy excepptiooonnn :P . Hmm imma live with me, myself and I. :D Imma play the guitarrr,pianoo....read! Go shopping :P Blooogggg.... And maybe, just maybe go to Genting or Ipoh. PD was an option but not anymore cos of all the tsunami's happening. And this holidays! YES, I am going to do it.....JUGGLE ! :D
This'll be me by the end of the week :P
HAHA, then I'll have to go to school...Pn Eli's centreee... YEAPP. A good holiday :)
Next, the tsunami that hit Japan :( DEVESTATION. It's amazing how an element usually signifying calmness and tranquility can tear down a country huh. If i thought having to start over again in Canada would be sucky, then imagine how bad these people have it. They're homes...gone. Teared down. Their lives...brought to a standstill and when they do get past this, there's always a possibiliy that they might have to go through it all over again. Aside those people who just lost their belongings, what about those who lost their loved ones..? Imagien thier pain. To the people in Japan who are affected, have faith. It'll be okay in the end.
Never understimate the power of the sea :)If i had an affinity with one element, I'd say water. Unbelievably calm, a necessity....unpredictable....but above all, hell hath no fury like a tsunami.
And now...moving on to more...pressing matters.
Read this today... "The secret to a succesful relationship is simple.Treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat trivialities as disasters." In other words, don't let a storm in a teacup rule your life. -.-
Haih...just typed out this whole long text... And deleted it. Whateverlah.
I am happy :)Just like you wanted me to be.

Exam :O
Yoooo! Currently having exams...but here I am! :D Life's goooddd :D but i know this feeling... Just when everything gets comfortable...something comes and screws everything up, change. Whatever...I'm waiting for that drop. I feel like me now... We have Lit Night auditions this Friday... Not sure if i should try out for the Mad Hatter or not... If i do get it, its a pretty big role, the best of the play I think so yeah, its a big responsibility.
Carmen told me the most shocking unbelievable news ever... I cant believe that girl la! -.- How could she do this?! EEESH. It makes even me mad. Imagine loving someone so so damn much, they make you believe they love you too and you believe everything they say to you... And then one day, you hear they're cheating :'( And you feel that huge ache, wondering where the hell you went wrong... You can't ever forget the way they made you feel but you have to. You have to move on but each time they hold hands your heart breaks all over again... You say you're fine...but only you know how your heart wrings each time you watch them do the things you used to do together... Goshh...one day, you'll find someone that deserves you. You'll get hurt but in the end, it'll all be worth it.
Can't wait for Friday for many maaany reasons. ;) For once, I'm excited about holidayss! I'm not going anywhere but I need a break. Too much of school :S
I have to get back to memorising sejaraaah. Wish our country wasn't so fked up. At least then we'd wouldn't have a mountain for a textbook -.- CIAO.
