F.R.I.E.N.D.S or F.A.M.I.L.Y?


The total strangers whom we've known only for a certain time in our lives, these people from another family, another culture, another country even..
They say n do things us that makes our whole-being so fulfilled..So worth living..
I'm proud to say that almost all the friends I have n had are real gems, we have cared n shared for as long as we've known each other..even those who have had to walk away, those who have no time to keep in touch, n even those who though they do not call u evry so often, but never forget the special days in your life...

There are millions of quotes that we have for friends, like some I've got below, but none of it will even come near the feelings I have for them in my heart..



"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."
Anais Nin


"A friend is someone who is there for you when she'd rather be anywhere else."
- Len Wein - Sent by Paulo Louro

"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."
- Sent by Donna Roberts

"A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself."
- Sent by Lysha


I don't have to mention all your names in my blog, girls n guys..Coz your names are forever etched in my heart n just like I do, I hope that you too know in your heart that you mean a lot to me..


Just the other day, this ex-collegemate of mine, Gayathri, whom I met after many years; she told me, "Suba, i trust u more than I trust the doctor, coz I know that between the both of u, you're more concerned of my well-beings. The doctor is just doing his job, but you're doing it for me."
To have so much of faith in me rather than her doctor, for the complications she's facing..
God, at that moment, I felt so little for not being able to solve her problem there n then, but I vowed that I'll do my best to help her get over it..
(N don't worry Gaya, we will make it happen..)

Just 2 days back, I was having a serious chat with Hema about something that happened..After I had explained the issue to her n all, I had to excuse myself to go for a meeting with the client..So I said my goodbyes n left..when I came back, I saw her final sentence on the screen n tears just welled up in my eyes.. It went like this:-


Subashini (12:11 PM): cu later..
Subashini (12:11 PM): u tc..
Subashini (12:11 PM): rgds to mr ceev..
Subashini (12:11 PM): love u..
hemabch80 (12:11 PM): ok
hemabch80 (12:11 PM): will do
hemabch80 (12:11 PM): luv u too
hemabch80 (12:11 PM): u dun worry
hemabch80 (12:11 PM): tc
Subashini (12:11 PM): hmm..bye..
Subashini (12:11 PM): n thanks for understanding..
hemabch80 (12:12 PM): of coz dear
hemabch80 (12:12 PM): y must i be angry
hemabch80 (12:12 PM): ur my sis
hemabch80 (12:12 PM): u will never do anythg wrong for me

Not forgetting Nisha, who'll give just anything for me..
Anytime,anywhere..
N many many more of u people, right from the days of primary school to secondary n tertiary education days, from ESP STAR days to TI,JUSCO,GREAT EASTERN,ABDACOM n to the current BCSB INT days.. From family friends to neighbourhood buddies, from my birth till the day my death to us part..
Dei, what did I ever do to deserve people like you as my frens la wei?
Thanks for all that and more, n let's continue this journey thru life holding hands..

You people are more of my F.A.M.I.L.Y than F.R.I.E.N.D.S..

The Four Gals..

Have I ever told about the four of us? Well, in the big jing bang of a family that we have, the 4 of us are like the 'princesses'..hehe, damn fuzzy, i know..
Ok lar, we four gals (Sharada, Shuba, Nalini n Umesh) are the four who are always sought by the rest when the need arises (n most of the times even when there is no need).. Sharada n Nalini aka Mol are my darling aunts' darling daughters, n Umesh is my darling sis.. We have gone thru the best n worst times in our lives n still remain as close as ever, our alikeness n differences just bringing us closer..
We end up being the advisors,counsellors,organizers,coordinators,....the kulis...our names are forever remaining in evryone's mouth.. Like when thre is any gathering / function or just a day when evryone is gathered in one of the houses, most often than not, it will be:
"Lets get the four gals to do this, to plan n organize that, to coordinate the whole thing"..added with an extra condiment of praise at the end (kononnya, to make us happy so we'll feel very proud with all the attention n do it la,kan?)..Jahatlah these people all, esp all the naughty uncles we have got..
Well, its been a very long time since the four of us went out together, esp so after the younger 2 went off to different parts of the country to further their studies n then, after I got married n flew to the other corner of the world..
But when I went back home the last time, we made it a point to go chill out somewhere, just the four of us..N we had loads of fun together, despite it was for a very short time.. N thank God we made it that day, bcoz when I went to work the following day, my boss told me that I had to fly back to UAE in the next 2 days..
We went to this place in BB Sentul called Nailis, or maybe Naily's or maybe Nailies (sorry, i cant recall the spelling).. But the place itself had such a nice ambience to it, in a very Balinese, natural landscape setting, good food, lots of talking, updating, gossiping, planning...
In short, we had a gala time.. N since we proudly forgot our cameras, we squeezed ou faces together n snapped pics of ourselves in the h/p cam..

Take care dear sisters..Love you.. God bless

Superb Malaysian Tamil Melodies

During 1 of our late nights updating-sharing gossips-listening to songs-FBing sessions, Gaya told me that there's this Malaysian local song which is so superb..

Evryone who knows me well knows that I love Tamil music, love like really, totally LOVE them songs.. Yes, for all u stupid fanatic (insert my clan) people, though I am a (insert clan), I am NOT so dumbly fanatic like you coz I believe that God judges us by our doings; not by our race, religion, creed, status, profession, looks or whatever nots.. So i love Tamil songs, love watchin Tamil movies, love having Tamil friends..So just bugger off if u have a problem with that..

Well, but not in my wildest dreams did I know that the songs were indeed the beautiful creations of a Malaysian Indian.. Seriously.. N i feel very guilty for having thought that they are only up to the level of great "Floor dance beats"..

I am now listening to "Meendum meendum Oyamal" and "Uyirai Tholaithen" over n over again, I thnk my lappie gona explode anytime soon..If it had eyes, mesti menangis..

Hats off to you guys..Dhilip Varman, Tiban, Saran n the likes.. You have made us proud, n you guys belong to the international arena..

Found.. A Friend..

A beautiful thing happened over the last few weeks, which I must share with all my readers..

I found a Malaysian FRIEND in Dubai..A crazy as me-full of humour-wonderful gurl, her name is Gayathiri..A friend from my KC UPM days.. So, Gaya spent her weekend with us in UAQ and we all had such good fun.. We laughed so much the last 2 days,n truly enjoyed ourselves..Nice kan?

FB-ing..

Here i come again..
Those who missed my postings here (as usual, I am perasan like that..) can smack two people for my absence in blogoworld. They made me join facebook wen i swore not to..Thanks Nisha n Nalini..

Now, i can't do anything else except for facebook..Evry half an hour, I check wats new..Then, I lose myself in a world of deep fantasy by doing the hundreds of quizzes there n feeling very good about it.. Tak tau bila I am gona grow up.. Haihh..

Oklah, but then I have to agree, Facebook is THE tool right now (at least for me lar).. U know why? I met Sooooooo Many frenz online that I've been dying to meet.. Like frenz from childhood days, SRKTSG days, St Anne's Convent days, Convent Sentul days, UPM days...So the super exciting...

Best lar..terhutang sangat budi kat Nisha n Mol Chechi..Thanks people..Love u both..
