Drafts.

I was hoarding these in my drafts. I was supposed to be studying when i was doing these, but i needed to write stuff down yaknowwhatimean?
It's a whole buncha words..kudos to you if you get through it. But everything in there was written from the heart.

weeks leading up to the A's:



Hanging with Mr Cooper, i mean, with G and Kel and Seth and the whole jingbang.. fab legs Rachel, adorable Neha, Amilin Flussain, Mathius (kids who read ONTD! are made of win), the always lovely Sonia and Miss Anita who unintentionally provided comic relief. That kid is as sharp as a whip and as witty as they come. G&Kel especially..love you guys to death. Thanks for looking after me..passing me notes, and papers and things, and sitting next to me in lecture so i wouldn't feel so left out.

I got reminded of the time we were in that creepy, run down hotel somewhere near Berlin (with the creaky lift and flickering hallway lights..and the dank, musty smell that filled the entire place *shudder*) My roomie had gone to sleep already, so i braved my way, heart pounding an all cos i thought there was a "presence", from one end of the hallway to the other to the room that G & Kel shared. We just sat in bed and watched on the news as reports on Michael Jackson's child molestation court proceedings went on on CNN (haha you don't forget shit like that)and talked and talked till late. All my scaredy catness (really Anjali? scaredy catness?!) went away and i felt so safe with the girls, much like how SAFE i felt with them sitting with me at the wooden tables near the lockers in school while we studied. Not like SA was an unfamiliar place, but i didn't feel comfortable being back there one bit, cos i knew i wasn't SUPPOSED to be there under such circumstances and there was so much internal conflict. MAN I LOVE THEM..they make me feel good to be around them without even trying.



then there's seth, who's darling! as pre and i found out earlier during the uk lit trip. Haha, SETH STOPPIT i didn't lose consecutively and completely suck at daidee, during our middleofthenight, sitting in the hostel cafeteria with hot chocolate, card game sessions. One time, on one of the trips i made back to SA, while sitting in the school library (after an awkward, AWKWARD confrontation with the librarian), we were Ipod sharing when i chanced upon his music collection of LOTR OST's..for all the 3 movies! HI 5 BUDDY!! He knew the lyrics to "In Dreams" off the FOTC soundtrack and he loved the chirpiness of the track "Concerning Hobbits" and and YES! "Gollum's Song" is so sad! Hi 5's all round. And we even have our own goodbye gangsta hand action now, in the form of the not so gangsta "Wooogedy Woogedy Woogedy" from Nickelodeon's Rocket Power. Basically we wiggle all 5 fingers while saying the abovementioned catchphrase.





Chelsea Boys:



They've been winning by Kick-ass goal margins (in the 3-5 goal range..woah. that hasn't happened very often since i first started following the team), but losing crucial games..such as the one to Pool that most unfortunately ended our 86-game, 4 year long, home ground unbeaten record that started with Ranieri, was decisively maintained by Mourinho, looked after by Grant and lost under Scolari. Can I just say that though i'm very pleased with Luis Felipe Scolari's appointment as manager, i still don't feel the same excitement about, and admiration that i had for Mourinho. The charisma of JM just cannot be matched. Though LFS is doing his job and doing it pretty damn well (so far), I don't know how long it will take me to accept him as the team's manager. But that's just me..so..*shrug*


EDIT: ok as you can see, this post is damn old. chelsea are a royal mess and have dropped 2 points at home already, which is abysmal. And infinitely embarrassing. LFS is not at all a master tactician..i'd much rather have results over flair, thank you very much. Saw that arsenal match? That was CRINGE WORTHY..i frickin changed the channel at one point cos i couldn't take the rubbish anymore. We've not beaten any of the other top 4 teams, our champions league progress is in shambles, and most unfortunately JT is a shadow of his former self. There's been multiple lapses in concentration which is highly uncharacteistic and even occassional displays of indifference. There is just no fire in him or any of the players for that matter. NO SPIRIT, NO GUMPTION. It is utterly disappointing.


Hamilton winning and becoming world champion:

LEWIS H8ERS TO THE LEFT, PLSTHX :D :D



All dem people who said racist things about him in Spain can go suck it. That win was rigged by the gods and we all know it. No other way he could've won it otherwise. To the wire, excitment till the last SECOND. (i tivo-ed the race and Chequered Flag and watched both after my GP paper :p is it me or was paula (malai ali) PISSED AS HELL that lewis won? pfft.) Timo Glock, i don't like your eyebrows, but thank you, even though you had perceivedly nothing to do with your car slowing down at the last minute. It was such an emotional day for me too, FINALLY having started my papers after all the waiting. I felt absolutely terrible for Massa, and as he fisted his heart to the crowd at Interlagos, that was a very powerful moment. But Lewis won. And i for one knew that a change was acoming( like Barack said ;) ). i believe very much in young talent (except for C.Ron), and i don't think much of old fogeys- NAH KIDDING, that's not true- and Hamilton is just phenomenal and succeeds every time in making me feel inadequate about myself :P



David Tennant leaving Doctor Who:

Incidentally he's doing Hamlet with the RSC in Stratford-Upon-Avon, in the same theatre where we witnessed Romola Garai and Ian McKellen act in Chekov's The Seagull.

OK that's not the point. The point is that Tennant was on DW10 for 4 seasons and he completely revolutionised the demographic that DW catered to following the lacklustre seasons with Chris Eccleston For god's sakes i started watching DW cos Tennant is WAAAAAY hotter than Ecclestone. I still remember the very first episode I watched. It was with Disha, the week before her biology A levels, when i happened to drop by and stay for the night while I was on the little extension trip that i was on with su, ven and ys in england. Prior to that we'd only watched Big Brother, BB's Little Brother, Top Gear and even Nevermind the Buzzcocks (the episode with nihal arthinayake! from Radio 1's bobby and nihal :D), all of which was my intro to British Telly. But since I'd missed that weeks episode of DW, Disha sat me down in the conservatory the following morning, before she was due to head to school, and showed me her fave ep of DW thus far. It was the New Earth one with the Cat Nuns- haha they were actually called the Sisters of Plenitude, but they were basically human sized cats which stood upright and dressed in nun's robes and ran a hospital curing creatures from all galaxies. It's Complicated!! We just sat and watched the episode on youtube, in 10min long parts cos some kind soul had uploaded it (they've removed it all now..guhh), while munching on chocolate digestives (a love of which i brought back to Singapore). THAT right there..that got me hooked on DW. Esp if your longest friend recommends it to you, you jolly well sit down and watch it! Got back to S'pore and eventually they started showing it on BBC Prime (ch76), as it was called back then. The lovely thing is that each ep came with Doctor Who Confidential, which is a behind the scenes look. Those made me fall in love with Tennant even more cos he's such an adorkable fella, with his cheeky grins and scottish brogue (he adopts a regular midlands sort of accent when he plays the Doctor) and snazzy one-liners. The charm of David Tennant will only be understood if you see him playing the Doctor, or if you see his interviews. David when he hosted The Friday Night Project is LOVE. And GOD he's sexy.



I'm a relatively new DW fan, considering fangirling started only last May/June..i haven't even started on Season 4 ( I can sort of take my time cos i'm not living in the UK and we're still on Season 3 here on BBC Entertainment, not like that's stopped me from catching up online :P), but I can't for the life of me imagine anyone who will live up to the standard Tennant has set. So it was thoroughy heartbreaking to find out that he decided to leave, "if not i'll be here till i'm 84". I dont think any of us would mind that at all, David :(
