You would read this post no matter how long it is, if u really care about me n wanna know wats happening in my life

It's d whole truth n nothing but the truth. it's been happening for the past 3 months almost.... but i didnt play a major port in it. it was all His work. all i did was obey n let Him take control. i knew i had to move on. i knew i wasnt meant to be here for long. i knew i had to go elsewhere. n i knew that it was going to be very very soon.i knew where i was going to go to. i knew all this in June, even in July. but everything started blurring n fading in August but come Sept, i didnt know anything anymore. i didnt have control of wat was happening in my life everyday. all i knew was that i had to live for that day. He didnt tell me anything in detail except for the fact that i have to leave again. but where to? n when? for how long? until a few moments ago, i was still asking those questions. but now, i know where i'm going to. i know when i'll be going. i know y i'm going, n most importantly, i know y He wants me there. :D I'm going to Scotland...not for holi

this is wat happens when 2 ppl of different race try to communicate with each other in a language which neither r fluent in

The conversation was entirely in Malay(... broken Malay if i may add). But everything has been translated to English to make life easier for you and for me (so that i dont have to type in italic n brackets) The characters: Waitress - waitress Chumi - me Mum - my mum waitress : nah, u can choose the dishes that u want from this menu. chumi flips the menu n tries to make out the order of the dishes while her mum greedily munches on the peanuts which are served. waitress : there, got fish, got chicken, got vege... wat u wan *flips the menu forward n backward without giving chumi a chance to look at it* chumi : ok, give me a minute to read through the dishes within 1 minute Chumi : u have Japanese taufu ah? waitress : huh??! wat wat? Chumi : J-a-p-a-n-e-s-e t-a-u-f-u ... the round round one waitress : uh.. no la no la.. none la... Chumi : *points to the menu while talking* there got so many types of taufu, japanese taufu none ah?? (actually everytime i go out to eat this kindda

this is wat i got!!!!!!!! i fell head over heels in love with it the first time i set my eyes on it in d B Legend boutique!!! (until i was dreaming about it that nite!) but i didnt get it immediately cos i felt guilty. guilty of buying a leather coat which came with d 3 figure price tag.( 3 figure price at the higher end ) but that 3 figure price tag didnt stop me from going back to the boutique 3 days in a row, until my mum got so sick of going back to that place! on the 3rd day, my mum walked in to d boutique n picked up d one which was my size n went n paid for it without even asking me if i wanted it. (it was really obvious by the way i was gaping at it that i desperately wanted it!!! ) ahahaha.... my mum knows me so well..... it's so HOT!!! this is d exact kind that i had in mind, n when i saw it, i couldnt get my mind off it u know! im not so good at self photography, so, thats y u might not be able to see how smart n classy this coat is. its almost knee length n it fit me pe

mind, body n soul coordination

ever heard how important it is to have these three coordinate properly...?? well, i'm telling u... it is VERY important.. if not.. this is wat happens.... sleepy face - check spectacles on - check eye liner from d previous nite - check messy hair - check lazily sitting on a couch - check lazily sitting on a couch with legs folded in a cafe - check crumpled tshirt - check my work load is increasing steadily ( no, i'm not working ) but my work n pay proportion doesnt seem to match. in fact, my pay isnt increasing at all.... (correction... i forgot that there isnt any pay at all :S) i'm not doing anything about finishing my work ( or at least try n get to it at d moment ) cos my mind, body n soul arent cooperating. my minds tells me to get to my work ASAP, my body somehow gives in a little bit, but my soul refused to budge. therefore, nothing gets done. d next day, my mind takes a break while my body n soul longs for some physical activity. since my mind has decided to go on a

Shades, shades n more shades

Image
This post is all about me shades ( d favourites ones n not so favourite ones also included to prove how crazy i am about shades) I dont know wat it is, but i have this craze only for shades ok, i lied i admit.....it's not only d shades i have craze for... it's almost every thing that's cute n adorable n techie that i have a craze for. ( *takes a deep breath* confession is quite enlightening u know...except when ppl wanna accuse u of finishing ur parents' inheritance) anyways, let's get back to d story. my very frst pair of shades were anything but shady.it's very unique. it had invisible shades n made me look like a scientist. this is not my actual 1st pair of glasses but i'm sort of stuck with these things for d rest of my life! :S i dont remember when exactly i started using shades. n i dont have a pic of my first pair of shades ( probably one of those mickey mouse n minnie mouse colourful ones ) when i was

Copy cats....

Image
sorry, this post was not planned to happen... but it just did.. i noticed this pic in someone's blog just now. apparently, it's called 'The Red Cat" but it's not red on d outside. now, look at this pic which i took in a Rapid Penang bus last week similar?? y dont we have our own originality? everything is a resemblance of something else from some other country, be it cars, houses, clothes, accessories, equipements...n now buses also

well well well.... guess who kept her word the whole of last week!! ME!!!!!!!!!! thank you thank you thank you.......*does a curtsey politely* anyways... it wasnt much of a problem... though i personally only liked .. eerrr.... d one about my niece Nilaofer and d wedding reception.... ......i just realized it wasnt even included in d past 7 posts :S alrite alrite... lets forget about which was my personal favourite and concentrate on how determined i was to take up d challenge n prove that i'm capable of it shall we..... so, since we're clear about how ambitious and determined little Miss Chumi Lakshmi can be, there's no more needs to make any more vows k. Agreed? Agreed! Good! then let's move on with the next post.... which shall be tomorrow. i'm gonna post about one of my fav things... errr... accessories.. eerr... not girlie accessories but cool ones i got to go look for all those pics from the past years to explain how crazy i am about those stuff. oh oh... befo

i'm very very close to finish sorting out my pics!! FINALLY!! YAY! lol Shannu's wedding n d receptions are finally over too.... i tied saree for d wedding which was in KL, n i took one pics ( by chance...). for the first reception in Sunway Hotel, i did not have d time to take any pics of my 'cagra cholie' at all.... that was d day when we were bombarded by the guests for their tables . n then d 2nd reception was in Bandar Perda Hall the day before. i had to wear 'pavadai thavani' cos me n another girl were part of d flower girls and we had to wear something alike so t hat it doesnt look odd. she refused to tie a saree and i didnt have any grand, shiny punjabi suit with beads. so we had to settles for 'pavadai thavani'(also known as half saree) which both of us had. d tiny little problem with mine was that d last time i tied a half saree was like 4 years ago, n i was very sure i wouldnt fit into it anymore. when i tried it on d day before d reception, t

Chumi has expanded beyond repair

"Chumi has expanded beyond repair" is wat my facebook status says rite now.... y is that so u ask?? COS I'VE FREAKING EXPANDED SO MUCH UNTIL I CANNOT FIT INTO CLOTHES WHICH I USED TO LOOK SO GOOD IN!!! i didnt even realize i've put on SO much weight until a few minutes ago!!! i was trying to find something suitable to wear for later this evening when i go for a family gathering when i realized i couldnt even fit into a top which i havent worn since i sewed it a few years ago! i had to alter that top a few times so that i dont look like i've been hit by some cronic dIsease which has eaten me up. but now i cant freaking pull it down my shoulder for cryin out loud!! n then i tried to wear another blue top which is one of my favourites and which fitted me so well and in which i used to look so good in.... guess wat happened...? yes! i looked disgusting in it that i couldnt even bare to look at myself any longer in the mirror!! this is so not fair!!!!!!!!!!! n yet ppl

Chumi's evolutions in d past 3 months

Image
there's been loads n loads of changes in this past 3 months.... some of d obvious ones are 1) putting on weight 2) becoming a lazy ass ( not like i wasnt one before... i've just become even worse now) 3) improved my typing skills n speed ( who wouldnt after all d hours n pages that i typed ) 4) lost most of my communication skills 5) i've put on more weight ( no.. i'm not repeating... i'm merely trying to explain just how much i've increased in size ) 6) eer.... (i cant think of any more so i'll just end with this ) n this : from this: to this: i need a haircut... but mum doesnt want me to... so, looks like i've got to settle with this messy look from now onwards

hi!

well, i made a challenge to myself a few days ago... that it'd update my blog every day. since i'm so unemployed and spend so much on time in front of d comp, i thought i might as well make full use of it and update my blog everyday la.... i know, i know, it's not a challenging task at all... but to a certain extend it is to me.... u know, sometimes i switch on my comp n decided that i wanna blog about something that i've been thinking about for quite some time, or something funny or something nice.... but i end up not blogging that day cos i'd end up reading other ppl's blog until my time's up or i'll just become lazy to blog! so a few days ago i made up my mind that i'd blog everday at least for one week at a stretch. i already have a few posts lines up, but i dont wanna publish them today yet..... so i thought i'd just drop in to say 'hi' before i get ready to go out so here goes.... "HHHHHIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE" there u go..... i&

its so easy to say "walk it off".....

Image
but it's not really easy to actually walk it off... i'm one of those ppl who push myself to walk an extra mile ( not literally ), or climb stairs by telling myself that it's good exercise.... (n also telling/encouraging other ppl :P) really it is.... only if it is a few meters ( or a few kilometers also no problem la... depending on d situation like excessive baggage, climatic conditions, physical conditions, and most importantly surrounding/environmental/living being conditions! ), or a few flights of stairs.. but will u be able to do it if u were to walk a thousand seven hundred and eighty six steps to burn off the calories which u consumed from 2 bites of a chocolate bar?? if don't quite understand what i'm talking about... hang in there... it'll be my honour to explain :) have u ever seen one of those health charts that tells u how many sit ups n push ups u have to do in order to stay fit n slim n healthy?? well, i saw one of those a few weeks ago in a heal

( n pls give it like 2 minutes so that all d pics will finish loading ) The Emirates. wat the....!! where got flight that long one!!!! hahaha... that's so cute..!! it looks like a little black chick... i wonder how it balances itself with jus d front wheels...?! hehehe..... it looks so weird! so cute! it looks like d toy MAS plane this one's like a fighter jet or something like that.... oh wow! i wish i could go on one of these... (if there really is one!) it'll be fun to walk up n down d deck during a long flight hahahha........ no comments..... hahahhha.... LOL!! fuh yo..... this one looks macho isnt it! n this on

guy's/girl's name

Image
u know... naming a child when he or she is born is very very important u know! otherwise, it's d child who has to bear the consequences...... like for instance... if a girl is given a guy's name... it doesnt really matter la... it doesnt sound so bad.. like Joie, Jackie, or Indian names like Vasu (short form for Vasuki).... not too bad rite... it feels as if there's attitude in that name... but when a baby boy is named like that of a girl... imagine the torture he has to go through while he's growing up... especially when he's in college or working.... like Lakshmi Mittal... since he's one of d top ten richest man in the world, i dont think anyone would dare tease him for his girlish first name... but i'm sure he must have had his share of embarrassments during his childhood days.... my friend once today me about one of her college mates who had a very very funny name. n he refused to mention his full name to anyone... but he was forced to during orientation
