get me novocaine

i have been banned from thinking about the results until 2 hours before the actual release time, cos the results will come when they come and i really can't do anything about it.thanks vivek :D i shall do that..as impossible as it sounds. but i really have so many things to keep my mind off all of that..planet galatta, oprah, koffee with karan, desperate housewives, grey's anatomy(thanks for the reminder kai :D). wah..i love my tv. and not forgetting puyal dance practice. so yes..i shall deal with it and not let the impending results release get to me.

i've never felt more connected with the indian community than i have at NY. the day before puyal prelims, one of the ex ics presidents Vishnu Varathan dropped by and he recognised me and the tamil teacher mr thiru was there too so thiru was like, damn impressed ah. :P and he was like, un peyar enna ma? (which is,whats yer name again?) and when i told him he was like,having a sabaash moment and said "vat a sveet name'' and i got that so many more times when i was introduced to the rest of the alumni. and kangai was damn high on the actual puyal day and was singing the anjali anjali song (the cutesy one from the movie about the autistic kid)every time she saw me and i was facepalming ALOT.

at SAJC two weeks ago, i met another almuni member Venket who's another fantastic fella who's a great talker and listener and i discussed the political science course at the FASS at NUS with him. wah..bloody godsend man. and to think, we'd only met like,there and then.

then in the NY canteen,three weeks ago, while hanging out with thuls, ranitha and kuga, met murali,yet another ics alumni who reminded me alot of a cousin brother sorta figure.he was talking about a drinks promoting job he got at caltex for which he got FIFTY QUID a day..wtf.thats a dream post a-level job lah.he comes down alot cos he too stays less than 5 mins away from NY and like, helps out here and there or just sits and talks with us..gives us advice, tells stories about SJI and the inherent politics of the ICS and all that jazz. yeah...

then yesterday during the puyal prelims, met this guy(another alumni member) called Kevin through venks(venket) and though he looked real buff and was dressed rather snazzily whcih made him all the more unapproachable BUT we got along just fine. when i eventually ushered TJC into the LT for their performance in front of the judges,i ended up sitting right at the back of the LT with kev.man,that was the best time i'd had all day. we bitched and bitched about sooo many things..not that i find any immense pleasure in bitching but it was fantastic to have a complete stranger whom i got along with so well after having met him less than a mere hour ago.

yes..blogging is bloody therapeutic. and i'm so grateful that everything in NY has turned out so well. i have the best ics seniors anyone could ask for.

ok thats all for today
