wow wat a week it has been! been out almost everyday! Anyway, sunday there was the huge discussion tt i mentioned in my previous post. Seems that we all agreed to a lot of terms and sorted out most of the issues. Hope our decisions bring us a proper outcome!

Monday met up with my army guys at newton circus. The funniest part was that the organiser himself didnt turn up! Besdies that most of them did. It is always a joy to be with these guys. Never fail to lighten up my spirit. I guess working so closely together while in army made us enjoy one another's company even now! We ate a lot of different dishes and ended of with beer. Was a simple and gd outing i have to say. Catching up with these guys never fails to be a gd outing.

Tue followed suraen ard the whole of bugis, searching for a new bag for his sch! He knew almost all the shops that would sell the bag he wanted. So tt made our job much easier. It was a very different unique form of bag tt 80percent of us wun be daring enough to caryy. But suraen belongs to the other 20 and dares to try out something new since last time! Guess it suits him when he carries it. So not a bad choice for him afterall. After getting the bag, we headed to big o. We played 4hrs of 2 v 2 tf2 there. Me and suraen vs Suresh and Sachdev. ITs getting more and more competitive nowadays between us. Initially suraen and i were winning but towards the end suresh and sachdev were picking up more wins as i and suraen usually make totally opp choices haha! Nvm there is another round of this on fri haha!

Wed met up with veera, vishnu and sachdev. As i said first time we four re meeting outside of sch haha! Initial plan was to go ion shopping ctr so tt all of them could look ard the new shopping mall. But somehow i tot it wun be too interesting so i changed to vivo. And since we were meeting at ard 3 i tot vivo wouldnt be tt much of a gd place cos cant do any proper activity tt will keep us involved. So changed the venue to city hall, this time so tt we can play minds cafe at purvis st! But guess wat, when veera arrived, he said he doesnt feel like playing, and the others said they dun mind just sitting down somewhere and talk cock. If i had known tt earier, would have been much easier. So yea we walked from city hall to zam zam, yea i said city hall to zam zam, to sit, talk cock and eat! Was a gd 3 hrs or so tt we all talked abt various stuff. Again simple yet nice outing. Afterwhich me and sachdev went to vivo to do his phone and searched for some stuff that we intended to buy.

Today was suppose to be a gd day but well it got bad yesterday cos today's outing got cancelled. I hate it whenever an outing gets cancelled last min. Seriously hated tt since last time. It usually follows the pattern like the person u re meeting never mentions abt anything till u ask them and thats when they actually inform u tt they couldnt make it. When something is arranged for tt day, if it was me, i will die die go for it! So i expect the same from my frens in a way. Well its the expectations tt ruin things sometimes. So yea. Got quite irritated with the fact tt my powerpack week had to get disturbed by this. But as usual i didnt stay angry for long and sort of understood why it got cancelled rather than fuming over it. It seemd like quite a valid reason. So yea now gotta make use of this free day and make it better than it would have been if i had went out! Hahaha, i am quite well prepared for free days actually cos i have these list of new hindi vcds tt i rent every one in 4days. So yea, back to tt again!

Well tt is what happened so far. This sat got two events to attend to. One is vishnu's farewell gathering at his place. After tt would be my sis's new son's naming ceremony. Whole of sat will be gone in that haha! Sunday is a free day though! Next week somehow seems interesting. Both mon and tue i have been occupied. Tue seems very interesting as its avery random and sudden meeting with wei an, mark, yy and suraen after a long time. Gonna be great. Besides these two days, there is nothing much actually. And well, after next week, holidays are ending. Sighs. Sch seems quite stressful from the way it seems. The modules look fucking tough. Well lets see how it goes!!!
Ganeshan | 9:24 PM

Alrite, holidays re coming to a close! ANd here i am pretty sad abt it haha! At the same time, when sch reopens i wun be too sad cos i enjoy having something to do. Sometimes ppl complain tt they cant wait for holidays to come. When its holiday time, they actually get to the pt where they cant wait for work to start. Human beings can never be satisfied. Anyway, i think its best to enjoy watever that u have in that moment. So yea tts what i am exactly doing now, before my whole holiday ends. There is like 2weeks or so left from now.

June was an absolutely busy month. I had the whole month planned and i felt really gd abt it. But when it came to july, i hardly had anything to do. I realise tt as u grow older, the number of frens tt u get to meet slowly decreases. For instance, there use to be a time where the trackers often met up. But now it doesnt seem like it. Everyone is so busy and we meet only when someone returns from somewhere or is flying off somewhere haha! Some dun even contact u after sometime. They simply get evolved with their current list of frens. Hmmm, well tts alrite for me. I am jus stating facts. Well this july, i have met the trackers once, met sam once, met dhivya once, met my army frens, met shalu shameni and sharadha once and of cos met all my sji frens including rama plenty of times hahaha! There was a time when i kept meeting sara and a few others. But ever since he went army, its very hard to get him to come outside. Not even on saturdays cos of his workload and stuff! But some frens they re still available till now when it comes to meeting up. Suraen, suresh, sachdev,rama and so on. If not for this guys, my life this july would have been pretty boring! So thanks to my sji guys a plenty!

There were a few occasions tt i had absolutely nothing to do. And i am a sort tt i cannot stay at home for an entire day. If not, i would go mad. But, after like 2-3 occasions where i had to, i started making plans on what i should do while i am at home. This july i started the habit of watching hindi movies. I searched imdb for all the best rated hindi movies and started watching them. Youtube was very gd for this as they have selected hindi movies with subtitles. I watched a few there. Then there is this shop in yishun where i rented some hindi vcds! So far i think i have watched ard 7-8 films and have like another 6-7 more to watch hahaha. I find amitabh bachan as a fabulous actor. Any role given to him, he performs with class. So is my favourite sanjay dutt. Its a joy to have him on screen. A few other stars that i learnt abt and started to appreciate are akshay kumar, ajay devgan and saif ali khan! But seriously, it is not true tt bollywood is fantastic. There re very few movies tt re really nice. The rest re simply trash! So make sure u know what u re watching beforehand. For those who re interested or wanna occupy urself by doing what i am doing, go catch khakee, kaante, virudd, aitraaz and singh is king! These movies re all of diff genres so u would definately like them!

Anyway, those were things i did while at home. Whenever i am outiside, I find tt singapore isnt tt interesting afterall cos u do almost the same stuff no matter who u re with. Though with some ppl, i can do jus a little bit of a diff activity like teamfortress 2! Well most of the time, i caught a movie whenever i was out with most of the frens tt i mentioned just now. I watched transformers, sunshine cleaning, harry potter, obsessed and public enemies so far, jus for this month itself. I got the chance to play pool once, hmmm bowling too haha! Besides all these, there wasnt anything spectacular that i did. Hmmm. Sometimes it gets boring when u do the same things again and again! Need to find somehing new to do! Arcade was fun. Went awhile with my army guys and was fun though it was for a very short time! Enjoyed it!

As u see, my holidays dun look tt impressive haha! This coming week seems to be quite gd though. I am meeting with my army guys for a nice dinner and drink on monday. Wed will be out with veera, sachdev and vishnu. The four of us have never gone out together even once. Saturday vishnu invited us over to his place and on the same day have my nephew's naming ceremony. Fri it is sangae, butttttttttt, i wun be going. Hmmm somehow i dun have the urge to go and also my sji guys arnt going. So i decided not to though i felt like supporting a few frens who will be part of the show. But guess they wun mind if i am not present there too.

Well, there is some huge change tt is happening in my life ryte now! There is gonna be a discussion on Sunday abt it. To be honest, i dun have much options before i nodded my head for watever tt is taking place now. Abt a week ago i was going thru a few problems. After seeing all that, the current plan tt was brought to me made a lot of sense. Its more like the best option, not for me, but for my dad! So i agreed to it. But truthfully speaking, if there is an alternative to that, i would rather go for it but guess my dad would have to go thru more trouble if we chose some other option. Becos of tt reason, i am agreeing to wat was proposed to me. There re a few gd things because of the current plan. First my dad will have a huge burden off his shoulders, second my dad will be aided in every single aspect and he really needs it badly, thirdly the family gets united, which is somewhat a gd thing. But there are a plenty of reasons why this is a bad idea too. There would be a lot of problems and arguements for sure. Its somehwhat very hard to prevent these kindaf things to happen. The problem lies with our different personalities and views. Our ways and ideas wouldnt jus click. Somethings tt mite seem correct and fair to one person, mite not be to the other. Secondly, the travelling experience is gonna be so new tt i have to adapt to it. My sch is ok but when it comes to like gym, i dunno wat to do haha! Most importantly, i am worried abt my studying. I am a person who is a closset mugger. I can only study effectively at home and tt too without much disturbance or noise. But the new plan is almost impossible to have less noise and tt really worries me. I absoltuely need my own time, privacy and stuff, all these mainly for my studying part. Hope i could somehow get this across on sunday and see if i can get a gd solution. I have a lot in mind to say abt it and hopefully tmr tt is possible for me to do so! Hoping for the best outcome out of it so tt the plan turns out to be gd!

Ok tts all i have for now. Sorry if u didnt understand wat was the damn plan on my previous paragraph. I dun want the whole world to know until it is confirmed, so tt is why i didnt say what the plan actually was. If u think u re very close to me and re very eager to find out wat is the plan hahaha, u can jus simply ask me. If i choose to say to ya, u definetly know where u stand as my fren haha!! Tataz
Ganeshan | 5:35 AM

Hi hi hi!!! Firstly, a big big thanks to all those frens who cared and msged or asked me abt how i was feeling! Felt good tt i've got some really nice frens who really do care though u'll re busy with ur own stuff! One thing tt keeps me going re seriously u'll. Well really thank you!!! Anyway, i never went out the past two days and cancelled my outings cos of watever i was going thru! I jus needed to fix certain things proper. And guess somehow i manage to find some way to resolve every single issue tt was bothering me big time! Happy tt at least have my second sis to help me ard when i really needed the help! There could have been so many issues between us in the past but somehow whenever help is needed, she never fails to be there. Thats one thing i really appreciate! But that complement is only for my second sis and not for the rest of the sisters, who re not fit to be one!

Anyway to all the frens who really cared, i am ok ryte now!!! Feeling much much better and happy again! Will be back with proper posts soon. Sorry for the break haha.
Ganeshan | 9:27 AM

Hmmm i really feel sad. I have seriously no one else to go to and cry this out though i feel like. But yea i am really very heartbroken. When u give out all u have to make sure u revive from all the pain u have gone thru, it wun be easy to take another huge huge beating. But it seems tt i am constantly getting tt beating, tt is almost putting me entirely down after this long struggle to come back normal in life. I dun see why i have to suffer this much when i havent done anything wrong. I cant even state what kindaf problems i m facing cos its too embarassing to state it here. One thing is for sure is tt the problems re surfacing right to the top all at one time and at the end of the day, i would have lost everything!!! I am not a person who easily gives up. But now is a time i am really being forced to so much so i am getting so scared with my entire life! I dunno if i would sustain any other step or will i be able to!

There is one person i wanna truely cry out to and tt is my mum!! "I dunno why i have to go thru all this. The most painful part is tt u re not here with me to support me. At least if u were here, i wouldnt really care how much is being lost. But now i jus feel so empty. Thanks to dad that there is almost gonna be nothing left! Hmmm, u leave me with very few options left mum! Wat am i to do? I took so long to be happy again and now i am almost going back to the bottom of the well right again. I tot i was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel but things re happening in such a way tt it has lead me to where i was lost from! Hmmm. I dunno who else would hear me out or would care. I dun trust anyone else too. Tts why i want you to know! Hope at least u re there to hear me out. Pls pls pls, give me the strength to overcome everything and resolve everything tt is happening to us now! I have never prayed to anyone besides u. Pls help me mum! I really love u!"

Life shoudlnt be so painful sometimes! No matter how hard i have tried to not get angry with my dad, now it seems tt he has put me in such a big problematic situation tt its very hard to overcome it. I never had given my dad a single problem ever since i was a kid! But this is what he thinks i deserve. N despite all this problems, he still doesnt want me to know abt wat he is doing and he still wants to go repeat his mistakes despite knowing in the past he lost everything becos of those mistakes. Hmmm, i find my whining over here really pointless. But have totally zero power to say or change anything now! For all i loved my dad for, he has made me feel like i am such a loser now! I am afraid abt what else would occur next. I m seriously gd as dead! Where is this gonna lead to????
Ganeshan | 6:40 AM

Hey i'm back!! Ok the last time i posted entirely about my aussie trip. Now i shall say whatever tt happened after tt. There re quite a number of things tt happened. Firstly, i suffered from diarrhoea after i came back! It lasted for like four freaking days!!! Well its all my fault actually. At first i was ok. But i open my big fat mouth and tell my maid to start cooking something other than rice. Cos it has always been a different version of rice and curry at my place all the time! So she decided cooking chinese noodles with some funny chillie and pasta and so on! The night after the chinese noodle with tt goddamn chillie, i got a very bad stomach ache and i had to go toilet like 3 times in between my sleep. Haiz was terrible. And it took me till monday to get cured and now i told my maid to go back to cooking rice since tt seems like the most safe choice!!! Imagine i had to drink like black tea and tumeric spice powder dissolved in boiling water for tt few days to get cured!!!! Omg never gonna go to tt state again.

Anyway didnt go out tt much tt week tt i came back cos i was jus too lazy and my body felt super tired. Went the usual gym and all though but still i didnt feel like meeting anyone besides a certain few! Furthermore, i didnt wanna go out with a diarrhoea. I managed to watch transformers 2 though tt week's fri! Wasnt too great laa. Could have been better. Played some tf2 after tt which was simply awesome! haha. This week was the total opposite of last week. I had been out the entire week. Monday went to suraen's place with suresh for a red thread marathon. We though we would be able to watch episode 1-36 within tt day. But it took us till 10pm to watch till episode 20. Suresh seemed to have missed most of the earlier episodes so we had to watch it for him. I missed more of the second half of it which is after episode 20. So we decided to have the continuation of the red thread marathon from episode 21-39 at his place another day, which was tentatively sat then!!

Me suresh sachdev and suraen went bugis on tue to go look for a certain kind of shirt tt i missed out in aussie!!! The sad part was tt i couldnt find the shirt i wanted though i explored the whole of bugis. It used to be the latest trend awhile ago. But now i can hardly see it in shops and even if they had it, they werent nice! Hmmmm. So after a disappointing shopping trip, we decided to boost our morale a bit by going for 2 v 2 tf2 hahaha! Was very nice and we didnt expect it to be so good but it was. Met up with Faye daryl and brendan after tt! We ate at delifrance. Faye was gonna go back to perth so fast. She was only here fore barely a week! So i had to meet her tt day and miss my red thread episode!!! haha. But was worth it to see my duckee at the end of the day so no complaints!!!

Wed was bowling day. Met with sharadha shalini and shameni! Was a very short but nice outing. It was hardly more than 3hrs. But was nice to see them after sometime!!
Thur i didnt go for steamboat with my sji brothers. It was suppose to be a family day thingy to welcome vidya back from melbourne! But i already planned with my fren to go out tt day so it was only fair tt i kept to my word! I really enjoyed thur a lot! Was a very simple yet nice day! I realize i have been very selective with frens tt i make. But glad tt i made a very impressive one this yr! One tt helped me when i asked! And for tt i dun mind doing absolutely anything to say thanks back!!! So yea enjoyed that entire day thouroughly!

Fri was out again and met a long time no see fren. Was another gd day. I watched like two movies in that two days. Thur watched obsessed which was pretty gd laa actually. Was a gd choice. Fri watched sunshine cleaning. Wasnt too bad but i have a heartache ater paying 8bucks for it! But some parts in the movie nearly made me tear cos it realated very much to my own life. There was this scene where the girl's mum's movie will be played on tv where she will appear for a few minutes. But the girl will get to see her mum's image on tv after so long and memories about her mum would come back to her and she would tear while watching it! Well,i have a similar video of my mum. It in my handphone where the image quality is very bad but i can hear a voice very clearly! SO in a way i can still hear my mum's voice whenever i wanted to! Hmmmmmmmm. Well ok shall not drag about this if not i cannot continue with this post!

Saturday watched red thread marathon two at suraen's place as planned!! Played tf2 after tt, 2 v 2 again. Well tts all for this past week. Just would like to say things between me and my dad are so much better now since i took a very personal effort to talk to him everyday no matter wat. He has been still pissing me off with watever nonsense he has been doing till today. But guess no matter what he does,i still will treat him well. Well things have been gd so far. When u dun expect anything much, u get to enjoy life more. Tts one thing tt i have learnt in life the hard way! So yea, i will not expect anything in anyway from anyone! Tt really works in the sense tt u never get diappointed! So yea, dun expect anything in life!!
Ganeshan | 9:35 PM

Hey guys! Sorry was away all this while. Just got back from my aussie trip. Well, it was an awesome trip i have to say. It's not the kind u go for fabulous theme rides and all. This one was pretty different. It was more of a relaxing trip. We gotta know more abt aussie culture which i prefer! Yea wish singaporeans were like aussies too. I hate the way singaporeans are a bit anti social when talkin to ppl. U even have ur own frens avoiding u at times. But in perth, any random fellow will take the trouble to ask u on how have u been! Tts the difference between our culture and theirs.

Last tue we guys, murali, suraen, suresh and myself, made it to the budget terminal! Anu, kurseth and pasu came to send us off. The seating in the plane wasnt as bad afterall on our way there. And the only thing was that it could get pretty boring if u dun have someone who u know beside ya! Suresh was with me while travelling there so was not bad! We talked for most of the journey. It was a 4 hr 40min journey. When we landed and went out of the airport, we were electrified by the weather there. It was colder than the airport. The airport was a much much warmer place! Its the direct opp of singapore. Krish came and picked us up. We went looking for food. The entire perth was closing shop for tt nite. It was like 10-11pm then. In the end we managed to get Domino pizza which was still operating, thankfully. All of us were dead hungry. We didnt eat since 2pm. So yea. We ordered one whole pizza for each of us. And we shared 2slices with one another so we tasted like 4 diff pizzas. Was fantastic. Next we got to our backpackers. It was the billabong backpackers. Well, it was quite a nice place. The room was compact yet nice. Enuff for the four of us. But somehow all of us were feeling very cold. We got our heater changed too and tt was super efficent too. They changed it immediately for us.

Next day we started out our trip properly. We had breakfast, which was provided free by the backpackers, and then headed to Swan Valley. The scenery there is awesome. Fresh air and good scent. And also the plantations were fabulous. Afterwhich we all paid 2.50 and tasted like over 10 wines. We gulped down each wine once it was poured. Got a bit high. Haha. After tt we took a lot of nice photos in that area before we headed to the margaret river chocolate factory. The chocolate drinks and free tasting chocolates were jus so nice tt i kept taking them. Hahaha! We skipped lunch and went straight to wildlife park. Was quite nice i have to say. We took pictures with a lot of animals, i milked the cow haha, touched giant lizards and we saw the sheeps being sheared. Yea was awesome. We headed to some little shopping mall to get beers for the coming days after the wildlife park. We bought a 24 pack of Calton Dry beers which was really nice. Krish paid for all that. We had a quota to drink at least 1 1/2 beer each day before we end off each nite. So yea we did follow tt. haha. We ate kebab at some turkish restaurant for dinner. Afterwhich we returned to our place. We changed to go to the casino. it was super ex again and tt refrained us from playing. We managed to play a one dollar jackpot machine though which also took away our money haha. Since we couldnt play much or didnt choose to play, we headed back to the backpackers again. Cooked our maggie noodles. Ended the day with beer.

Thur the plan was to go carousel and garden city and do some shopping or more like window shopping. And to look for things tt we would wanna buy. Before tt we actually went to some local football shop. Suresh was the only one who bought something there. Cos the stuffs were pretty ex. Yea. We proceeded on to the carousel and garden city. Spent real cheap for lunch. Jus got like burger and we shared fries and the drink, all from chicken treat restaurant. Bought a glow in the dark t shirt at carousel. At garden city, i decided to leave the guys for like a couple of hrs to meet Faye who studies there. So yea. She took me to some koraen restaurant and the food there was nice too. We talked a lot of stuff tt has been happening in our recent lifes. Was great la the dinner. After tt she drove me to the kings' park. It was like a hill and from the top u can get a great view of perth! Perth city area is more like the CBD of Singapore. Not just tt there were certain places tt had a lot of resemblence to our places down here. There was this awesome wall at the kings park where u whisper to the wall and the person on the other end of the wall could hear it clearly! We took a number of photos and spent ard an hr there before she sent me back to the guys. Went to look at krish's hostel awhile before we headed back to the backpackers to end that day off.

Friday went to eat fish and chips at some famous place near the freemantle area. It was a pretty long ride. We bought chocolates from margaret river before tt. The thing abt australia is tt they charge for chillie there. And most of the meals dun include drinks. So yea. We had to pay for the chillie at the fish and chips place. They charged us two dollars. But the chillie was super sweet and not nice at all. Tasted more like vinegar. We headed to the freemantle market, the bugis of perth hahaha. We thought that was the worst place we went to in perth for our entire trip cos we didnt find anything good down there. Next we headed to the perth beach. Well it is the indian ocean actually. Super big, endless man! The wind was so strong tt it felt like it was gonna blow us away. In the evening, we made our way to the Prison. This was the best part of our trip. The prison tour was superb and it was very informational. They scared us a few times during the tour. Felt a bit eerie and weird ard some places. Guess i'll not touch abt it here haha. Headed to nando's to eat after tt and the food was nice but not filling enough. So decided to eat noodles again after getting back. So got back home to backpackers.

Till this day we realised we were actually saving lots and lots of money. Hardly spending at all. So we decided to spend everything we had in the next couple of days. Sat went to the queensway of perth which was the harbour town. I bought like five shirts there, one belt and some souveniers for my frens. Ate lucnh there, some turkish version of murtabak! Then went to carousel again to buy bbq items for sunday. I bought nougats for my family there and some other chocolates. After doing so, we headed to krish's place. I had to check my marketing module result. I got an A for it. Yay! Was freakin happy but didnt really felt like celebrating. I reacted pretty normally. After tt headed to some indian restaurant called Mela's where we ate chicken briyani worh 12.50. Was quite nice laaa. And after tt ended of the day at king's park with my guys this time, where we took many photos!

The last day was sunday. We were sad to pack our stuff because tt symbolizes the start of the end of the perth trip. We never wanted to leave the place. Haiz. After packing, we ate breakfast at macs. More like lunch laa. Then bought some beer and went to krish's place for bbq. We watched michael jackson concert videos for like two hrs to pay tribute to him in our own way. That man is a legend and no one can beat him in the world of dance. We were full of praises for him while watching it. Felt very sad abt him passing away. I was expecting for his world tour actually. Nice ppl dun tend to stay for very long it seems. Haiz. Anyway bbq was good and we had beers and wines on top of tt. Ard 6 plus we started heading to the airport. We gave krish a goodbye card and thanked him for everything. The flight back was terrible. Was super boring. The seat was such tt no matter wat position u try, u wun be able to sleep. So yea. Hmmm.

Landed in Singapore at ard 3am. Had breakfast at macs before returnong home at ard 6am. Singapre was so fucking warm once i got out of the airport and i perspired for the first time after tt six days away. Dammit. Anyway, throughout the trip i was quite sad abt one thing that kept coming back to my mind. I promised to my mum to take her to overseas cos my father was such tt he never wnated to bring the family on an overseas trip. My mum was a kind tt she hardly even explored singapore. She is a real baby who has to be brought ard. The most innocent soul i have ever met. Hmmmm. She was so happy when i used to tell her how overseas was after my army trips before. And i promised if i go the next time, i will bring her. But sadly, i can never do tt. And tt really pains me to the core. I feel i didnt fulfil my promise to her and tts bad enuff. There was so many things tt she wanted in her life and i couldnt give her all tt. I imagined a lot of times of having her ard me during the trip itself. She confirmed would have loved perth. Hmmmmz. The trip was so like wat she would love to have. Sorry mummy for not being able to fulfill that dream of urs. Sighsssssssssssssss!

Well in this whole trip, if u were to ask me if i missed anyone, well first it would be my mum followed by my dad. Afterwhich, i missed one person surprisingly. I dunno why but yea i did! Hmmmm. Anyway i decided to make a very important decision abt my family back there then which i wanted to deal with after returning to singapore. But from recent observations like watever i am hearing and watever i have come across with and all, Guess i should not have made such a decision. Things tell me tt it would backfire. So ryte now, i dunno if i should stick with wat i decided, or to just go against the decision and live a simple life!!! Hmmmm anyway, bottomline, enjoyed the trip very much and wish to have more of such awesome trips with the guys. All the pics have been uploaded on facebook in a seven part album. Took lots of trouble uploading it so please go take a look. Will be back with more post cos i have the urge to blog abt a lot of stuff now! so yea see ya ppl. Adiyos. And yea, my blog is no longer private.
