happiness.

amma's very happy with her fish curry today.

apparently, the two (seemingly) sweet tomatoes did the trick. XD

appa's happy that we're making noise at home.

and by the way, i think i forgot to inform you that all four of us are finally at home together! ^0^

finally. :")

vik's happy for no reason.

that's of no shock, being the happy bird he is. ;D

dai is well, dai.

i think she's happy because she's at home.

doing the dishes and picking up hair, eh dai? XP

dyi is extremely happy for certain reasons.

one is because of her new zune player, and the other, her new webcam.

plus, she gets to fly to brunei mid jan next year!

i'm happy because everyone's happy.

and that, i had tons of food to eat,

bunches of people to meet,

plenty of laughter and flab to grow. XD

p.s: one funny thing.

when dai was in singapore, she had jet lag and therefore, slept way past noon.

my dear sunflower went to wake her up.

she shook dai gently by her arms,

upon seeing her open an eye, said:

atte, atte~

wake up.

its morning.

the sun is shining and the birds are singing.

you must wake up early, like paathi and mama!

ah, my dear sunflower,

talking in her sun shiny language, as usual. =3

Merry Christmas! :D

it's that time of the year again, humans!!

Merry Christmas!!! *0*

i am a hundred percent thankful for the food,

yes food, must come first; :P

family... so many of them: ma's and pa's side.

friends, esp. the one who called me with ...

well, a "hohoho" greeting. =")

may all of you live life happily,

with lots of food i.e. cake.

and... fun. =3

mwahaha... ciao.

fml gt 2010

regarding matters that require decision making,
ganesh citappa quotes martin luther king at the dining table.
too much analysis causes PARALYSIS.

asking shary about the henna on her palms.
i've been waiting for A HUNDRED MILLION YEARS.

taking vanoo to pluck flowers, but ended up plucking a flower for her.
reason: ANTS.
there are ants on the flower!
can you please pick one for me?
i'll be brave when i grow up.
the ants will attack small kids like anantha jothi.

while peeling apple skin for the punch.
me: i'm so slow in doing this.
aswene: that's how you learn. keep on doing it.
deepa: never mind. take your time.
trini: shalenee akka's always slow. hahaha.
----------------=.=''----------------------->.<"--------------------=.=''-------------------- later... after trini went away, i voiced out my decision to not peel apples with a knife again.

deepa akka finds sitting and listening the sound of the waves calming.

apparently, during her last site visit to cambodia, she sat by the beach from 9 p.m. tp 2 a.m.

during lunch, i requested shary to eat 8 mouths of food.

i'm 5 years old, so i only need to eat 5 mouths.
when i become 8 years old, i'll eat 8 mouths.
when i'm 10 years old, then i'll eat 10 mouths!

anantha jothi speaks a lot now. like a parrot. non- stop. she screams too.
she's able to wave and say: bye~
she can count up to 4.
she swims her way out of trouble by calling appa? appa~ or atte? atte~ (you get the point)

vanoo stayed in rukumani atte's house for a few days.
apparently, the 4 year-old got bullied by the one year 4 month-old.
this is how it was.
atte gave a gummy bear each to aj and vanoo.
as usual, vanoo took her own sweet time to savour the gummy bear.
aj just plopped the gummy into her mouth, walked calmly and cooly pass vanoo, grabbed vanoo's gummy from her hand and plopped it into her own mouth.
vanoo started crying and complaining.
it happened for a second time.
even vanoo's toys were under the control of little tyrant aj.

i slept in the living room together with a whole lot of people.
i noticed something very peculiar.
there were snores.
of course, how would that be weird, right?
but trust me when i say that it sounded like the cries of a whale.
so many people, 4 loud snores, all at their own intervals and individuality.

kabadi on the beach was fun. so was football. and ping pong. the straw, paper clips and paper game. banana boat and the boat ride.
the barbequed chicken was fantastic! my mouth still waters thinking of it. aih.
the people were around, joking, laughing, eating and sleeping.

it was perfect.
except for the first night where i was shivering cold trying to get some sleep.
Mwahahahaha.

DIgital photo Frame

we finally got around using the digital photo frame vik bought for appa. :)
i uploaded quite a many photographs of people i know of,
those who are really close to my heart.

as i sit here,
memories of tender moments flash by,
and i can't help but sigh,
not in sadness,
but with gratitude and awe,
of my relatives' beauty.

is it the palaniandy gene acting?
or maybe, its because i cherish all of you oh-so-much?
some handsome, some beautiful,
some yet to bloom sweetie pies,
some aged by years of experience, but glowing just as bright.

i guess, i love you people.
as troublesome as it may be sometimes,
its just worth it...
having MI FAMILIA around.
:")

a fool's confidence

i have decided,
that...
no matter how unprepared and ignorant i am
i will march into the exam hall
brimming with confidence
(as the cruelty of time sinks in)
with high hopes that it will somehow,
help me through.

so...
here i come,
with 100% sureness of scoring well.
well enough.
=3
