now the sudden need to update the oh-so-not-in-use blog.

This year is so speedy, open my eyes and its MARCH! There's a need to keep the good real close and the bad out of sight,out of mind. Inspirations and Aspirations are the key to keep going and REACH THERE! ITS A SWEET LIFE!!! =D

side your bread 2 !!

so here's the summary of the month long tour.

Day 1
I'm on the flight to Delhi, transit at Chennai was for 2 hours. Didn't meet him. would have if things were normal. Taking 3 programs this time. Odissi Stirred (Delhi, Mumbai, Pondy), Vision of Forever (Chennai, Calcutta) & Pallavi (Chennai, DakshinaChitra). First stop, Delhi. Was cold!! And as the evening progressed, it got colder. Arrived at the Malaysian Embassy and met master for a few minutes as he was leaving to Kamani to watch Chaurasia's concert (jan n i were hoping he'd ask us to go too!!!!) but i guess its a good thing he didn't cos we were pretty exhausted. Had really good (almost malaysian) dinner. CHICKEN CURRY!!! unpacked, had shower and dreamland.

ps. Told master i wont be extending my stay. he asked why. tears.

Day 2
Woke up to cold Delhi with real thick fog (colder than when we arrived). Had breakfast and went to Gandarva Mahavidyalaya and rehearsed wid Madhavi Mudgal and Sharmila Biswas. was kind of intense and quite tiring. came back, had lunch (fish curry, YUMMM) and packed to leave for the auditorium. Marked our spacing. Got ready for the show and performed. it was quite scary cos this would be the first time both Madhavi n Sharmilla will be watching us! nerve wreacking!!!! i made the wrong entrance (too early) for Evocation. OPS!! otherwise all was good. the costume change could have been faster i thought (we did towards the end of the tour!!) Met Arushi's mom and dad and they were saying Arushi will come to us straight from the airport. =D. Changed and went for dinner with the organizers. no appetite this time. Guna anne was great, making us all laugh so much!! came back, tired, shower, slept!

Day 3
Woke up late. i was the last, had nice breakfast (aloo paratha & last nights fish curry YUMM!). Had Pallavi rehearsal at the same place. bath n shopping! went to Deli Hart, nothing much, couple of rings and a nice note book for Sabe from jan n i (for running away from the boring workshop) and had lunch there. then went to Fab India at Greater Kailash. didn't plan to shop but ended up buying 2 kurta's for mom and 2 for myself. Came back, packing and updating diary. Jyoti, Pasha and his family are joining us for dinner here tonight. "GAMI, SOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!" That was so funny. After dinner, Pasha was showing us all the photos he took during the Kamani show and Jyoti kept going on about how beautiful Gami looked in a photo that she wasn't even in. Happened couple of times. it took us alot to not roll on the floor, laughing!! we leave for Mumbai tomorrow.

Day 4
We're in Mumbai. I have a bad throat. all the dust! It was such a long ride from the airport (Shivaji Int Airport) to SeaGreen View Hotel which is just by the marine drive. breezy and nice. Since we woke up at 4 this morning, i slept alomst throughout the flight here. Didn't manage to meet Arushi! =((((. it was late by the time she touched delhi and we didn't want to face master so all plans of meeting didnt happen. so ya, check into the hotel, took bath and walked to NCPA and passed the Oberoi. Its under construction now (after the terrorist attack just a few weeks back) security is pretty tight throughtout delhi n mumbai. Had lunch at NCPA. Not nice! then went to check the stage for awhile and decided to rehearse 5-ish that evening. Shan n i went looking for a beauty parlour. Did full leg waxing, underarm and eyebrow threading for 200Rs. RM20!!! and i didn't even scream much! Came back, slept and now have to go n rehearse. after rehearsal (VOF), had more not-nice-food for dinner and we walked along the marine drive. horses on carriage (or the othr way ard), kids running ard, lots of couples snuggling.. then gunane,gami,mei mei,jan, shan n i went 'exploring'. got books. cheap roadside BLACK MARKET books. terrible! =)

Day 5
Woke up feeling drowsy because of the flu medicine shan gave me last night. But felt better! =). Had breakfast in the room. real healthy one. toast,banana and diluted tea. Walked down to NCPA and rehearsed Kamala, Palavan n Pallavis. Had lunch (not nice) and i was so sleepy. walked back and had a nap.woke up, packed and left to NCPA wid performance stuff. got ready and had Kamala photo shoot. Performed. It was good!! Better than delhi. The audience really liked it. Priya was there. Went to Rajesh & Furiza's house for dinner. Food was Yummy! They're really nice too. came back and now semi packing to leave to chennai early tomorrow morning. Sleepy!

ps. Karthik shot his first movie today.

Side your Bread!

I'm back from india. My god! one whole month gone just like that. but an awesome month it was!!!! so much to update. but all i can say now is, i AM THE HAPPIEST PERSON! we performed at Kamani Auditorium, DELHI, NCPA,MUMBAI, Music Academy & Sir Mutha Vengkata Suba Rao hall, CHENNAI, Dakshinachitra, Auroville & Ashram Theatre, PONDICHERRY and Birla Mandir, CALCUTTA. I personally liked the Mutha Venkata Suba Rao and Birla mandir Sabha performances... to be continued..

and others

oh so lazy!!!! just spoke to karthik for a long time... hmmm next friday we'll be leaving! WOHOO!!!!

thanks

if a heart could break, how i feel right now would probably be it... slowly eating up on you. one can't control everything i guess. how disappointing and heart breaking. lesson learnt though. never ever give too much cos it'll back fire. it was not supposed to be like this. it was not supposed to be like this...

THE SUTRA OUTING!!

What a fun night that was!! Mei Mei, Jan, Nishah, Shantona, Divya, Nishani, Suba, Priya, Michelle, Kym and I went out last night to Bangsar Shopping Complex for a FUN dinner at Chillis. Rebecca and her boyfriend, Robin joined us later. It's been too long since i went out so yesterday,after my finals, was a great outing!~ as usual, our table was the loudest and most attractive! ahaahhh... the bill came up to some RM500+... HAHAHA.... yeah we dancers have HUGE appetites.


Basically after rehearsal we got ready and went to BSC and joined the others. We realised there are more people coming so we requested for a bigger table and the joined FOUR square tables for us.. and the laughter,talk,snapping of photos took place almost immediately. like Kym said, if not for the digital camera, we'll all need a suitcase of film rolls for our outings. =) the food and drinks arrived and started on that and the talk and the clicking still went on.. =) i think we kind of over-ordered.. but nothing stopped us from getting the desert!!!! the molten chocolate cake!! topped with ice cream. YUMMY!!!!
So that was Nishah's cake which she fed us all with HER style! anything nishah does looks obscene even this act of sweetness!! WE LOVE YOU!! More laughter and clicking and it was time to go home as my dad was already there so said more byes and took more pictures! our brave Tan Pretty Pretty asked a random cute guy to help take a picture of us all.



p.s. Tan Pretty Pretty's face wasn't red at the end of the night. prove on the picture above! it was FUN FUN FUN night!!!

time....

If i had superpowers, i would change back time.. change it from when i was ignorant, time when i thought nothing will happen to me. however, as an optimist, I'm not going to divulge in that and now move on, carry on, drag forward.. whatever. to blame and point fingers is easy but sometimes i have no choice cos i am right! hahah... anyway, life has been good to me with some minor hiccups here and there to add spice and COLOUR.... the recent topping the chart! but the chart is only interesting with with its curves. ah well, I'm not going to think so much anymore. like a hawk you watch (try to) but what CAN i do... here's when i stay optimistic and bloody busy. =) can't wait for the India tour!!! Ms Tan Pretty Pretty, we'll keep ourselves as busy as possible cos we have a boutique to run in the future!!

P.S. Michelle confirmed today that I'll be doing the cover shoot for KLUE. div, lets have some fun!
