Sun TV Woes- Part 2

Yeaps. The overrated yet still awaited post is out. Nevertheless, here we go, Part 2 as promised.

Disclaimer: Sun TV broadcasters who're playing "Comedy Time" with us, run for your lives when you see Indian kids who're emotionally repulsed by the "Thiruppu Munai" they've got to put up with at home. When you see us running towards you, pray to "Velan", put some "Kungumam" on your forehead and hide behind "Sithi". Coz we're gonna end your "Aanantham" jus like how ya'll ended our "Nimmathi". No one can save you. Not even "Raja Rajeshwari". We'll see how much of an "Kondattam" it is when you losers get your baniyans and jattigals torn. We'll bash you coconut plantation endangerers and send you up to "Swargam". Your faces will appear with "Malargal" live on tv in primetime "Vanakkam Thamizhagam". It's gonna be "Super Scenes" for all indian teenagers. You want a sneek "Thirai Vimarsanam" on how bad it's gonna be? It's gonna be so devastating that "Alahya" will see an end to her "Aadalum Paadalum" and "Selvi" will be too shocked to ask you if you're "Nalamthana". And when you muthafuckaz die such horrific deaths, the only sound you will hear is my mum's all time favourite "Metti Oli". So disheartened teenagers, fret not. The leader is here. Coz very soon, it will be "Namma Neram". One day we'll all be sitting our asses down on "Arattai Arangam" and laughing our asses off on how dumb the sun TV is. And for the non-indian friends who're reading this with question marks all over your head, dun ask me what I'm talking about. Because "Athu Mattum Rahasiyam". So if ya'll wanna read on or stop here, it's all "Ungal Choice". And for the rest, let's all chill and "Sirikkalam Vanga". Sun TV, boo ya!

Ever noticed that sun TV advertisements are not as long as before? Praba tunes in to sun TV anxiously to watch the advertisements to start bitchin' but only to be bitterly disappointed. They spoiled my damn fun. Rascals! But previously, that wasn't the case. On a 20 hour scaled TV schedule, seemed to me as if 13 hours were allocated to the advertisements and only remaining 7 hours went for the show. Though I feel advertisements are better worth watching compared to the usual sorrow filled dramas catered to lure the weak hearted women, I realized that my mum is paying to actually watch something that she doesn't give two peanuts about. And being the Indians that they are, their shows sometimes start as late as how their trains leave their stations. Indian timing as we all know it. And speaking of timing, it rings a bell.

Noticed that timings haf been changed for shows? Wondering why? Coz the dedicated housewives in
Singapore have all joined forces to sit down and cry at timings most comfortable. I, of all people, was most grateful to this piece of delightful news. Thing is, my mum's favourite shows are at a comfortable timing for her. She comes back after work, switches on the set up box, and as smoothly synchronized as it can ever get, I hear the theme music playing. Which I've gotta add sounds no better than my alarm clock. So a change of timing means that my mum no longer gets to see shows that she most awaits. Chances are, she'd probably have missed the show by the time she comes in. But little did I know that I was so wrong. My mum's definition of favourite show is very practical. She makes, whatever she catches in time when she comes back home after work, her favourite show. So in simple terms, it basically means I'm still fucked for life. Come to think of it, my mum is so smart that I think she deserves to cast in the Mentos advertisement. You've got me dumbfounded mum. You is smart la. You is smart.

Every decision made by my mum has the influence of sun TV in it. Having a wedding ceremony at any time interrupting my mum's newly formed schedule will only mean that she will not turn up. I can anticipate my wedding to be taking place at wee hours in the morning coz that's the only time my mum decides that the television needs a rest. On a non-working day, my mum switches on the television the minute she wakes up. She watches sun TV whilst eating, bathing, ironing, washing, sleeping and shitting. I am quite surprised that I wasn't named Prabakaran s/o Sun TV or my brother being named Harikaran s/o Thanga Vettai. I wouldn't be surprised if I had a son and he was named Velan.

Advertisements are never let alone. My mum watches every single shit they advertise. I came back after school one day and guess wat I saw. Lion dates on the dining table. Milka B biscuits in my kitchen drawer. And just when I eventually decided that a drink will be good enough and opened the fridge, I saw fanta! What is this world coming to?

But sun TV does play a significant role in my life at times. When my mum watches a serial, she'd be so engrossed that I can bravely pull out my polytechnic's warning letters and say "Ma, another warning letter from my school" and I can expect to hear the word "Ok" most of the time. Or else, a slight "ssh" to brush off any distraction. And when she is not looking, I nicely slip it through the window to destroy all evidence. There goes. Case closed. And just when I thought that only my mum was paranoid, my aunty brushes my mum off the paranoid list with ease. Talking to a cousin made me realise that there are many people like my mum out there. (But slightly more paranoid than my mother)

Gone are the days when the visiting of relatives would mean joy. As age catches up, they become less ingenious. Gone are the days when they brought home snacks and chocolates for me to munch on. I recall a time when a relative of mine came over to catch up on old times with my mother. We all know Indians are not the best of people whom we can strike an interesting conversation with. And how do my relatives overcome the disability? They simply start chatting about sun tv and how well the actors can cry. Exchange done on knowledge of the actor's personal background only relieves my point on how free housewives have become. Being the young adult that I am, I am hardly impressed when they strike conversations about sun tv. I despise anything to do with low intelligence. The worse thing here is when they start asking you if you watched the latest serial that they've missed. My aunt once asked me about sun tv and I gave her the "You dare ask me that again?" look to avoid the bitter scenario.

So a word of wisdom here. If you can't do things the right way, do it the bright way--CHEAT.
Like I always tell my friends, if I am going down, I'm bringing everyone with me. So likewise, if I ain't getting the TV for myself, no one else is. So here we go, below are possible ways how to end the sun tv woes.

1) On your set-up box, there is a button called PC/PM. Or simply known as a parental lock. Nicely create a code and lock sun TV. When parents try to switch to channel 29 but face difficulties, look innocently and pretend to be unsure. Giving them the "Oh, is something wrong
with our set up box?" look.

2) Sounds are essential when watching sun TV dramas. Open up your television set, bash the sense out of the sound transmitter, and nicely slip back the television cover. No one in the right state of mind will want to watch the serials without sounds. Even if they still do, like I suspect my mum would, who cares? It's the sound that gets on our nerves anyways.

3) Call 1633 to disconnect sun TV. The customer care consultants are all anxiously awaiting phone calls. So please do them a favour. Make someone's day. Call them and terminate the channel. When parents come back home, pretend to have the worst possible sore throat in town
so that no fingers will be pointed at you when they find out someone called to terminate the channel.

4) Pull out the atrocious 2 and 9 buttons from the set-up box and remote control and make scratches on the set-up box and remote control. When parents step in after work, pretend to stare angrily at your neighbour's dog while looking towards the scv set-up box and remote
control.

5) Disconnect the set-up box and throw it nicely into that container the chinese burn joss paper in. When parents comes back home, pretend to have been bedridden the whole day making it seem impossible that you could have been the culprit.

6) Hide all your SCV bills and late payment reminders. After maybe 2 months of not receiving any cash, they'd automatically disconnect SCV. And trust me, parents aren't eager to see bills. So it won't occur to them that the bills have been missing. And if they reconnect sun tv again, repeat idea number 6.

7) Advice your parents on how much your school emphasizes on helping the needy and donate the television to the old folks home. Honestly, people there put it to better use.

8) Bash the muthfucka television!

9) The last resort. If all of the above fails, just grit your teeth and watch the damn thing with them. Like how I always put it, "If you can't beat them, join them"

I rest my case. Sun TV causes no sunshine in my life. They call it sun tho-lai-ca-chi. I call it sun thol-lai-ca-chi. I've made my mark.

Spurious Believes 4 The Curious

An irrational belief arising from fear or lack of knowledge. All concealed in the name of superstition. Indians and nitwitted superstitions go hand in hand. It's in our blood to have a reason in standby for everything that happens. My mum seems to have an encyclopedia in her head when it boils down to superstitions. Whatever I dream of, she jus flips through the "Oh yea I've heard this in India before" reference guide in her head to derive the meaning. Was cruising around the net for a while when something I found really silly made me laugh BUT think. Here are a few superstitions that I came across. Some of them I've heard before. Some really got me staring blankly at the computer screen.

Website Says: To prevent an unwelcome guest from returning, sweep out the room they stayed in immediately after they leave.
I Say: I keep sweeping but they just keep coming.

Website Says: It is bad luck to see an owl in the sunlight.
I Say: Whether sunlight or moonlight, seeing an owl in
Singapore near your housing estate requires you to dial the number 9-9-9.

Website Says: If you get a chill up your back or goosebumps, it means that someone is walking over your grave.
I Ask: How can I possibly have a grave when I am still alive?

Website Says: If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will also know how many children you will have.
I Ask: What if I happen to cut a pineapple instead? Will I know how many grandchildren I will have?

Website Says: If you spill pepper you will have a serious argument with your best friend.
I Ask: Black pepper or white pepper?

Website Says: Salty soup is a sign that the cook is in love.
I Ask: If that is the case, does it mean that he is crying tears of joy onto my order of "Fishball Soup"?

Website Says: You sleep best with your head to the north and your feet to the south
I Ask: Is it ok according to your "Feng Shui" if my girlfriend sleeps with her head to the north, her left leg facing west and her right leg facing east?

Website Says: It's bad luck to open an umbrella inside the house, especially if you put it over your head.
I Ask: Why the fuck will I open an umbrella inside my house when we all have roofs over our homes?

Website Says: A watermelon will grow in your stomach if you swallow a watermelon seed.
I Ask: Where's the apple tree that's supposed to be in my stomach then?

Website Says: Cover your mouth when you yawn, or your soul can go out of your body along with the yawn.
I Ask: Do I have to cover my arse when I fart then?

Website Says: If you use the same pencil to take a test that you used for studying for the test, the pencil will remember the answers.
I Say: Madhu, you heard that? I am borrowing your pencil to make calculations hereafter.

Website Says: A rabbit's foot will bring luck and protect the owner from evil spirits if carried in the pocket.
I Ask: Frog's leg?

The Eye Candy Did It

Was looking through blogs when something which triggered mixed feelings within me caught my attention. A poem written by my beautiful eye candy Priscillia. Read and enjoy. Here's exactly how it goes:

Usually I'm not this way
Sittting at a coffee joint
Freedom has flown away
Even the cloth that covers my skin
Has become a sin

How do you define a bitch?
Is it by the way she dresses up?
Or perhaps simply the looks she possess
Where has the personality gone to?
Why are people stereotyping?

Then I wonder is it a fault
To listen to what I love to hear
Or should I say
What I'm yearning to hear

Sweet nothings, chocolates
And everything nice
Where have you gone to?

Then I reckoned
It has been replaced by a name -stupid bitch

Praba.
20 This Year.
Cursed to be here.
First to be clear.

You won't understand till we trade places.
I need my own breathing spaces.

See, my life ain't promised.
But it'll sure get better.
Hope you undastan my love letter.

I dropped 5 times but I'm still breathin'.
Livin' proof there's a god if you need a reason.

I think about it everyday.
I haf so much to say.
My main thing was to be major paid.
This game's sharper than a muthafuckin' razor blade.

I wanna be meaningful.
Not winnin' fools.
I followed fools.
Swallowed rules.
Now I'm starting to trip.
I'm losing my grip.

Many were impressed when they saw praba writin'.
Now wait for him to start fightin'
