Wheeee!

I return to the land in which I'm most happy at tomorrow. AFTER A WHOLE MONTH. This has been the longest I've been away from my hometown ever since I left Ipoh way back in 2002. Haih.

Ipoh ! Here I come !

WHEEEEEE!

=)

Gosh

I can't seem to find anything to write. Geez. How ironic to have a blog and not know what to write? Hahaha.

Actually I could. I've been doing nothing but ranting the last two posts and afraid of sounding mundane, I'm restraining myself. Geez. I'm doing it again.

-_-

Anyways, point being, I'm losing myself. Completely. I never used to be like this. There are so many things in my head that I could write about but I only think of my current situation and mulling over it. Not good. Not helping.

I need to get out there and get my life back. Not that it went anywhere. I just stopped living it.

Please slap me for not living the each day like my last. Yes God. I'm talking to you.

SLAP ME ! ! !

CRAP !

Crossroads

Series of events over the past week has seriously put me at crossroads. Sigh. I seriously have no idea what to do with my life at this point of time. I could stick to this job, earn a comfortable life and loose my soul completely or run away in pursue of what heart desires. And have a not-very-fat bank account.

I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this.I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this.

Now, if only I didn't have the Pet Pets to cheer me up. Thank you Pet Pets.

Jai Ho

It's been a whole week since the Oscars that took place on the 22nd of February. I've been going crazy not knowing how to celebrate the win of the musical genius. I've been wanting to write about this for the past week, but I've been doing nothing but surfing the net and reading the millions of articles and videos that showcases or read of his historic win. 

And I can't get enough of it. I've come across some of his rare interviews, some old music videos of his songs in the early 90's and clippings of his concerts on everybody's favourite tube. His interviews are excellent, it's absolutely lovely to hear him speak for there is something to ponder about in every single thing he says.I've been listening to songs from Roja right up to Delhi 6 and in the process discovered so many things about his music that I have missed. Tunes that was released when I was way too young to understand and comprehend the music and lyrics off, but now they've so made my day everyday lately. Being Tamil, I didn't really pay much attention to his Hindi music. Somebody slap me please, I know.

In a weird way, and I think I speak on behalf of his gazillions of other fans too, I always have  this odd feeling of obligation towards ARR as a fan. For all the love and support we give him, he has NEVER dissappointed us,eventhough when there was a period his music was below par ( and by his own standards at that ). He's  such an inspirational, spiritual, knowledgable and nice human being that  as fans we wish to emulate him in life and living it the way it does, or at least try to. I quote ( and absolutely agree with) a comment I read on youtube; " He MAKES you want to be a good human being. What a genius! "

And now the Oscars. He has not only fulfilled our dreams, he has given us fans bragging rights for eternity. =) He will remain the first Tamil and Asian music director to win the prestigious award on the very American stage, until maybe his successor is born or discovered. 

The least I could do, was to take leave from work and watch him make history on teevee. Very well aware that I was holding my breath as they opened the envolope to annouce the name of the winner, I let out a huge sigh of relief as they announced his name as winner for Best Original Score in a Motion Picture for Slumdog Millionaire. 

And then it sunk in. I watched his acceptance speech admist tears of joy. And a bonus within the next 10 minutes for Oscar number 2. Bliss, I tell you.

Oh, and the three tiny lil' Tamil words at the Oscar stage. Amazing.

Thank you AR Rehman for your music. God Bless you and may you be blessed with even more musical success and good health. 

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with Rehna Tu.

It's Mid - February Already?

Just felt we ushered in a brand new year and we're cruising along midway through the second month already. 

Sigh. 

And I still don't know what to do with my life as yet. The dateline I set for myself  to decide was April . 

Dammit. 

Money Flows Like Water. . .

Sigh.

=(

Waaaaaaaa!

Dammit.

Rainy Sunday Afternoon

Sigh. It doesn't quite get better than this. Nothing like bumming the daylights out of your hectic city life in the small lil' town you call hometown yo !

Yeah baby ! ;)

Sunday afternoon. Light drizzle outside my window. Amma's chicken perattal and mutton curry nicely settling in my tummy.

Aaaahhhh !

Just perfect to curl up in bed for a nap with the already perfect ambiance.

=)

Happy 28th Wedding Anniversary Papa & Amma !

In Need Of A New Direction

Like desperately. Very thankful for the life I have. The family. The loved ones. The friends. The car. The home. The passion and interests. 

But something is not satisfying the soul and it's dreams. 

Sigh. 

Need to sort myself REAL soon. Sort-kan sendiri sebelum anda disort-kan. 

Bleh.

' Mozart of Asia' Makes My Monday

I dragged myself back to work after a fantastic 4 days at paradise wishing I didn't leave it in the first place. On a day where I only expected nothing but back-logged tasks and emails, I stumbled upon the best possible news ever :

AR REHMAN WINS THE GOLDEN GLOBE !

*wheeeeee*

I'm in total awe. It's so crazy, I can't believe it ! But I do think it's about time he deserves it. It's about time the world recognize the genius in this man and acknowledged the mindblowing music he has produced since 1992.

Here's to all Rehman-iacs, music lovers, Indians & Tamilians around the world.
