An Amazing Weekend in KL

This past weekend was Gill's sister's (Steph) wedding. It was an afternoon church wedding followed by a reception later that evening.

I recall attending a church wedding once when I was fairly younger. So this was something I was looking forward to. Dinesh and I left Malacca on Saturday morning at around 10am. We reached his home at about 11.30 and I was told we would be leaving in about half an hour or so as we were to be in the church by 1.30pm. So we got ready and left for the church. All the way through my stomach was grumbling. *hadn't had anything to eat since morning*

Finding St. Francis Xavier church at Jalan Gasing definitely proved to be a feat! After combatting our way through an impossible housing area we stumble upon the church at about 1.10pm only to find that we were among the first 10 people to be there. *truth be told the wedding was only at 2pm but still after being told to be there by 1.30pm I would have expected to see more people I guess*

As the time rolled by, one after another, guests started to arrive and soon the bridal car arrived. I saw Gill in this bright blue bridesmaid dress and she looked like she had grown taller. First I thought it was her hair as it was kinda swept to one side *F.Y.I. Gill looked amazing!!* but then I kinda figured it must be her shoes. =D

You know how they say that the bride always looks gorgeous on her wedding day. Well this bride looked amazing, breath-taking-jaw-dropping elegant. It was kinda hard to take your eyes of her. In her gorgeous wedding dress with that never ending trail behind her, impeccable detailing on the dress - WOW!!

Led by her flower girls and the ring bearer *the ring bearer was this small boy who took his job so seriously that he hardly took his eyes of those rings* the bride then made her way towards the man of the hour, her soon-to-be husband. =D

The priest decided to give a talk about lust and love, how they are indistinguishable. Well as the saying goes, to each their own.. i disagree with the priest's talk and will stand by my notion how they (love and lust) are absolutely 2 different things.

The wedding ceremony was before I knew it but it was a beautiful one nevertheless.

One thing that I shall always remember when I think of this particular wedding is the look in the bride's eye every single time she saw her man, be it when saying her vows or just simply catching a glimpse of her guy. *This is gonna be hard to explain so bear with me* It was a look that said and showed how much she loved him and how happy she was at that particular moment. It was a look of absolute indefinite bliss!! I was happy to see someone that happy get married to the person that is the cause of all that happiness...

Many people get married these days without even truly embracing the concept of love... selfless love. But this one shall forever be in my memory as a model wedding!! =)

Once everything was over in the church, Dinesh and I rushed back home with our stomach grumbling with hunger. Dinesh's mom had cooked an amazing lunch for us. After enjoying that home-cooked meal, what more is there left to do but sleep!! *Well at least I did*

Woke up at around 5.30pm and started to get ready to leave for the wedding reception.

The dinner reception was at The Ritz Carlton. What can I say about the reception? Great food, good wine, nice music, awesome ambiance - what else do you need?? Hehehe...

The bride's favourite quote was a beautiful one although at this point I can't seem to recall it. *Sigh* The mother of the bride gave a speech which was very moving - about family, togetherness and love.

After a long night of chatting, laughing and indulging in good food, we headed back home as we (Dinesh and I) were to return to Malacca the next day.

All in all, it was a weekend filled with laughter, happiness and good memories. =)

Back After a Very Long Break.

Yes yes I know you missed me.. *not like anyone reads this shit anyways kan?*

I know I have been absent since my last blog which was like for my birthday. Been super lazy and clinical postings have been somewhat on the crazy side.

So anyways I'm back and I'm gonna make it a point to at least post one blog each week. Okay? Let's hope I stick to it.. Hhahaha..

Truth be told blogging is actually kinda fun for me. Like right now I'm not analysing what I'm typing. I'm just typing whatever that's in my head which is quite relieving to me. =_=*

Anyways lots of things have happened over the few weeks and I'm gonna be blogging abt a few of them. So keep up and hope my blog entertains you. *Just realised that kinda didnt make any sense BUT it's my blog. YOU dont get to judge!=P*

My 25th Birthday...

17th February.... the day I was eagerly looking forward to and not-so-eagerly looking forward to. Turning 25 years old...*sigh* Feels like I haven't done anything in my life and it already been a quarter of a century. But when I look back at all the years that have passed I smile after seeing how much I have grown as a person *for better or for worse*.

Surviving life for 25 years with all the drama is kinda somewhat of an accomplishment. *hahaha*

Anyways this year my birthday was awesome as usual. Before I say any further about my birthday I wanna say thanks to Dinesh, Gillian and Daveena. You guys are awesome. Thanks a lot for everything guys!!

'Knock..knock..' At 12 midnight as I open the door there stood all my friends - Taran holding the cake, Daveena, Dinesh, Ruben, Chandan, Gayathri, Tasha, Gurpreet, Bob, Sharmila, Veno and Sashini. As I was cutting my cake I receive a call from Gill wishing me. What was my birthday cake?? Secret Recipe's Moist Chocolate cake and yes it was GOooooo-oooOOD!!

As the cake was distributed and everyone was eating it, I was admiring my presents. *Ain't that the best part of birthdays*

Even the O&G department decided to give me a birthday present this year - I was to be on-call from 9am till 9 pm in the labour room of Muar GH!! How awesome right? Well I did honour their present and was there till like 2pm. I was not about to let my birthday pass by in the labour room kan?

Dav took me out for lunch and dinner that night. I had to get back and study for the all-so-waste of time block test that I had on Thursday morning! Anyways my birthday dinner was postponed to Thursday. We had it an Zest in Renaissance Hotel, Malacca. The decor and atmosphere of the place was nice and the buffet was good. After filling our stomachs to the brim *literally! We were all super stuffed* with great difficulty we made our way back home.

To all my friends:

Thanks guys for everything! It was an awesome birthday! =)

A Long Time Ago

I know it's been ages since my last post.. actually it hasnt been that long but it just feels so. Tonight I'm sitting here typing because of obvious reasons that I am refraining to jump on my bed and sink into slumber land! A.K.A High....

Lalalalalalala

Wanna judge me on that? I dun give two rats' A**!!

Tonight was Leeky's birthday dinner followed by a small gathering at her house. Boy oh boy was it a... How shall I put it??...LOUD gathering... hehehe but I sure had lotsa fun. Laughed so much... practically most of the time.. Btw guys... ice is meant for putting in drinks!! Don't go crazy with it!! *winks*

Some call it a nightmare, others say its a waking-up call....

I say its losing someone who meant a lot to many people....

16th of January 2009, I was awakened by the shocking news of that someone I knew had just passed away. I say just because he had passed away merely hours before I got the news. I just sat there at the edge of my bed totally and utterly enveloped in shock!! Somehow when I went to sleep hours before that, never did I imagine that this is how the following day would be...

Ganesha... I may not have spoken to you or even known you as well as some of your very close friends and batchmates but somehow you leaving us has left a huge impact.

Being there at the mortuary that day, after the memorials and all... it was and still IS a huge loss that you have left us. I am definitely not wrong when I say that you have touched many people's life in so many different ways.

And now you get to look over all those who you hold dearly and close to your heart. Rest in peace my friend! Rest in Peace. =)

Nothing you can say is gonna justify your actions.

Over the years I have come to know many people from different walks of life. Although each one of them are truly an amazing experience for me, somehow there is to some certain degree a common ground between all of them. *Dun get me wrong. I'm not standing here saying that everyone else is wrong and I'm perfect. I know I'm not perfect and I'm most likely included in this category of people too*

'PEOPLE MAKE USE OF OTHER PEOPLE TO GET WHAT THEY WANT & AFTER THAT - GOODBYE!!'

Seriously!??

Okay, here's the deal. If you need something from someone how about trying to ask them instead of putting on an act? Arrggghh.... I'm so pissed!!

Final year!!

Hey guys, I know its been months since I posted a blog.. Lotsa things have happened since my last post! As you guys already know somehow or rather i managed to squeeze myself into final year of MBBS! Yay for me! It was a joyous day but at the same time I felt sad for those of my friends who did not make it across into final year.. Sadness aside. Let's talk about fun.

ELECTIVES!! Oh My God! It was 4 weeks of pure utter fun 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Singapore was amazing! Plus the group of friends that were there with me - awesomeness!! To begin with electives in Singapore was so amazing, chilled and at the same time I learnt so many things. Anyone interested to do their electives there please do so no hesitation needed. You will have a blast. I'm gonna keep it short and simple here because if I go into details it might take days!! To summarize, elective period was definately something I will never forget. It was just toooooo much fun! Hahaha...

After that 4 weeks of fun and 2 weeks sitting at home doing nothing, coming back to Malacca was like being forced back into hell after winning a visit to heaven! =( and to make matters worse the 'stupid' college decided to scrap our senior clerkship and not reshuffle our groups. *I was really looking forward to both of those things. Way to go MMMC!!* And then to add salt to my injuries, my first posting was Medicine in freaking Muar!! Ugghhh!!! Final year is hectic. No joke but in a way its making me work a lot harder i guess.. I dunno.. hehehe.. anyways yeah.. updated blog!! Yahoo!!!!
