Disclaimer: Dear all, please be informed that I is fasting from January 28 onwards. So this blog now turns into a holy crusade.And yes, the kavadi pooja has been confirmed. It's at 7pm at my place tonight. [They call it tekka. I call it the terrific tekka.] And sorry if I couldn't call you up personally to open up the invitation. I've been busy doing up my kavadi. Please be informed that I've lost everyone's number. So please call me up by 5pm to let me know of your attendance so that I'll know how many people to cook for. [Yes, I is cookin'] And since I'm blogging and I know what people reading this blog have been talking about, I might as well answer it.
1) Yes, it is true that I usually do a month's fast or a 48 day fast for Thaipusam or Theemithi but this year, it's different. I am only gonna fast for 3 days. But trust me, you can never do a better fast than me so quit the MSN conferences.
2) Yes, the kavadi pooja is gonna be done in the same house I got kicked out from. Too long a story to be explaining here. I is dead tired and need a break. Gotta wake up in an hour's time to start praying and continue with the kavadi.
3) Yes, I've confirmed the time now. So no need to be discussing on who's gonna meet where at what time. Piercing and prayers will kick off at 7am. So basically be there around 6am. If you're planning to come the night before to join me, then you're more than welcomed. So my dear denesh, no need to be shy. I don't bite. [I just punch when agitated] By the way, If you've got other kavadi's to attend to, then no worries. I'm not gonna fall and cry. Please stop making it seem like if you don't come, I will not carry the kavadi.
4) I need a favour. If you know anyone with lorry contacts, please call me to inform me about it. I am looking for a lorry/van/anything that can transport my kavadi. This year onwards, my mum has refused to count me in as part of the family. So no lorry for me this year. No blessings. No food and worst still, no money. That answers it.
The kavadi is more or less done. So thanks to all who helped out or offered a helping hand over the days. Someone who said she'll come at 11am but came an hour later. [I'm not talking about you esh] Someone who said he'll come at 9 in the morning but instead, came at 7 in the night. [I'm not talking about you durgesh] Someone who refused to bring along his digital camera to take photos just because he was having a bad hair day or a no hair day at all. [I'm not talking about you sanjiv] Someone who said he'll be there on Monday and didn't turn up but then messaged me to tell me that he'll be there on Tuesday and still didn't turn up but then called on Wednesday to tell me he'll turn up on Thursday only to call on Saturday and tell me that he couldn't make it till Thaipusam. [Not talking about you denesh] And finally someone who said she'll come over to help with the decoration stuff but then decided to play it safe coz she was having her......nevermind. [Name will not be mentioned].
Anyways, just in case you didn't know what this year's design was for my kavadi, a photo durgesh took of me while I was adjusting my kavadi:
Yes, that skinny boy in that, barely put together, lotus kavadi is me. Lot of work still left. Kudos to Mr. Durgesh for the snap. Will upload the rest of the photos tomorrow. By the way, clicking on image enlarges it. Friday, January 26, 2007
A very hearty 'danks' to esh for her contributions to my kavadi and an even bigger 'danks' to her mum for making me a fruitcake. A very fresh esh came over to my place yesterday. But of course, as it always is, she came at a very standard tamilan timing. She said she'll be here at 11 but only arrived at 11.45-12pm. Nevertheless, I wanna thank you for coming over helping me finish up with the peacock feathers, walking with me to Arab Street in the drizzle, with a blister, looking for flowers. I really appreciate it. Danks esh.

Just in case you're newly attached and just got started on this whole women's' saga, I present to you words from the Confucius. [Not really the Confucius, but yea, who cares?]Word: Fine
According to my Confucius: This is the word women use to end a conversation when they are right and you need to shut up.
Word: Five minutes [This idea must have came about thanks to my mum]
According to my Confucius: It's half an hour if she's getting dressed. An hour if she's bathing or sometimes 2 hours when she's on the way.
Word: Nothing
According to my Confucius: This means "Something" and usually ends with the word fine. [See above for meaning]
Word: Go ahead
According to my Confucius: This means "Don't!" It's basically a dare. Not permission.
Word/Sound: Loud Sigh
According to my Confucius: This is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "loud sigh" means that she thinks you're an idiot and she's wondering why she's wasting her time with you arguing over nothing.
Word: That's OK.
According to my Confucius: This is one of the most dangerous statements women make. "That's okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistakes.
Words: Thanks
According to my Confucius: A women is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say "You're welcome"
Word: Whatever
According to my Confucius: It's a women's way of saying &%#%# YOU! [Now, TRUST ME! You wouldn't wanna hear the word]

Camlin Permanent Markers. Really Permanent
Today I was doing up my kavadi when I realised that I needed a marker very badly. Thing is, my star plate [shape may vary depending on eyesight] needs to be bought and redone so that I can sit my murugan down as well as coincide with the other plates. A square shaped metal plate was bought then manually sawed so that it could be profiled into a star. And I needed to mark off the measurements for the star where a hole had to be drilled. Sadly though, most shops in tekka didn't have a marker for sale. Some ran out, some don't sell, some really not worth even a look. [Why the &$%# for do they rent a shop and name it a bookshop then?]
And the really troubling thing is, I had to call my dad to drive over to Mustafa Centre to get me a marker. Not that it couldn't have been bought anywhere nearer to my place but because I wanted this special brand. The video below will explain.

Just in case you didn't know, Thaipusam falls on February the 1st. And I is fasting. So please refrain from sending me the usual 'goods' or 'funny' websites on MSN. [Yes, you get the message] And also, please refrain from putting up 'unacceptable' emoticons. [The word unacceptable is subjective. Might change to 'most appropriate' after thaipusam] Last year I had to block and delete 3 clowns who thought that sending semi-nude/nude emoticons during my fast was a great joke. Nah, it didn't work as planned. [Semi nude/nude emoticons are only meant for non fasting days] Anyways, if I forgot to inform you about my kavadi, I will do it now. Am as busy as hell with alot of things to sort out. So for now, this is what I have more or less confirmed:Date: 1st February.
Time: Most probably 7am. [This basically means that you have to be there the night before unless you're willing to wake up at around 5.30am, depending on the area you stay at, to take a cab with midnight charge included and when you finally reach the temple, you have to wait your turn to enter and when you finally enter, you get squeezed your way to my kavadi only for me to say "Obi good! Who ask you come so late?"]
Venue: Perumal Temple. [Don't you dare tell me you don't know where it is. What are you? German? Even my friend from Holland knows where it is. But then again, maybe he knows it coz he's a cheeky monkeys regular. Who cares? He still remembers it despite the umpteen 'drink and lie near the dustbin' routines]
Note: If you don't have any kavadi to attend in the wee hours of the 1st, then please call me. I have tons of unfinished business. And by the way, I lost everyone's number. So please SMS me to tell me you're still alive.
Meanwhile, a lil' bet that's going on between me and a friend of mine. This chinese bloke knows more indian stuff than an average indian would know about their own culture. Very interesting chap. [I was paid to write the previous two sentences] Anyhow, read below and send me your answers to win a 'brand new' second hand handphone. [Which doesn't work by the way]
Me: Bro, I think I planning to take at 9am la. 7am we start the piercing and prayers. By 9am should be able to leave the temple already. No jam, nothing. Can slowly dance and go. You coming not?
Friend: You siow ah? I come there like one extra la. Surely people will be wondering what this Chinese boy doing in an Indian function. You got the drum [thavil] already not? You were looking for one right?
Me: Dun worry la. I got see so many Chinese taking kavadi what. What's the biggie? And yeaps, my Bhajan group will take care of the drum. All I need to do is to go collect when I am free. It's already reserved for me.
Friend: Feel strange la. Already you have so many people coming mah. So I am ok with just watching the video after you have finished. So how much do you have to pay for the drum?
Me: I don't pay a single cent. It pays to know one or two people. All I need to do is bring along a plate with flowers, betel leaves, and 'paaku'.
Friend: What's all that for?
Me: It's basically a formality. Doing for god mah. So must do 'swee swee'.
Friend: Oh. Something like bringing fruits for people when they're ill or admitted is it?
Me: Yeaps. In fact, you're expected to bring along fruits and the other formal stuff when you go collect anything to do with a kavadi. I was thinking of at least bringing one mango but decided to heck it.
Friend: How come?
Me: Mango means murugan and vinayager [A.K.A elephant god] will fight la. I already told you what this murugan did right?
Friend: (Laughs) Yea you told me that story before. Darn funny la you. Bring along banana then la. Still fruit mah. Usually the Indian functions I go to always got banana one.
Me: The same thought ran through my mind but still cannot leh.
Friend: Why?
Me: I realised that his house got hanuman also. [A.K.A Monkey God]
Friend: (Laughs again) How many gods do you exactly have?
Me: Heh? That's a good question. I myself don't know. My mum prays to a different Amman everyday. It's been 20 years now. Do you think we have that many amman meh?
Friend: (Crazy fella laughs for the third time) How'd I know. I Chinese what!
Me: Will blog it for the answer. See who knows.
Friend: I heard you those very pious one? How come you don't know?
Me: Trust me. I can bet on my second hand LG handphone [which doesn't work by the way] that no one can answer your question. Not even the most pious of men.
Friend: We'll see.
Me: We definitely will.

Note: If you've been wondering why I've been missing in action, pay close attention.I understand that I have not update for the past week. Okay, make that 2. Thing is, I is not staying in my own house thanks to my 'pain in the ass' of a grandmother and aunt. Both these Indian descendants are irritating the living hell outta me. And please be informed that this grandmother isn't the grandmother that you read about, here. This old bird is my mum's mum. Anyhow, if there is a need for you to reach me, just gimme a call at 93553571.
Anyways, just in case I failed to wish you on the new year because I was busy looking for a home, happy new year to you. But I don't understand how exactly is it a happy new year when life only gets more fucked by the minute. My cousin saw me online after a long time and the first thing she did was question me about my MSN nick. Which, by the way, was "Fuck 2006. Fuck More 2007." I'll do it here again. I present to you my 2006.
Why 2006 was a fucked year
1. I got kicked out of school.
2. I got kicked out of my house.
3. I ain't got no cash/allowance/donation/bursary/scholarship etc.
4. I spent half my life on the internet and somehow it didn't occur to me that internet life is only for the rich.
5. I lost almost three quarter of my friends. It's amazing when you realise that from a thousand names before, you only have 250 people this time round.
6. I was jobless for half the year.
7. I was school-less for almost a year.
8. Malaysian packs were almost nowhere to be found with all my 'lobangs' missing.
Why 2007 will fuck more
1. I'd be in army.
2. I'd be in army, hairless.
3. I'd be in army hairless & suffering.
4. I'd be in army hairless, suffering and missing all my friends.
5. I'd be in army hairless, suffering and missing all my friends with no more outlandish coloured hairstyles with a lot of designs.
6. I'd be in army hairless, suffering and missing all my friends with no more outlandish coloured hairstyles with a lot of designs while probably saving all my NS pay instead of engaging in social activities like clubbing, drinking, smoking etc.
7. For the simple reason that I'd be in the army.
Why 2009 will be better than 2007
1. I'd by then ORD.
2. I'd have money in hand.
3. I'd be in this institution called a school doing what all nerd boys do.
4. I'd be a better boy. (I promise!)
All is said. I is badly waiting for 2007 to fly off. Let's all anticipate and welcome 2009 instead.
