Touchwood! It’s Friday the 13th!!!!

February 12th, 2009 by kajaipriya

Ha, don’t deny. How many of you / us have done that? Touchwood, and there you go, quickly scanning the room for something, anything that is made of wood.. and the best part, when you don’t find something that is wooden, you go and touch your bloody head! Who on earth does that? Well .. err me?

Today is Friday the 13th. Some people say it’s a day of bad luck, Wiki, my good friend says:

According to folklorists, there is no written evidence for a “Friday the 13th” superstition before the 19th century.[3][4][5] The earliest known documented reference in English occurs in an 1869 biography of Gioachino Rossini:
[Rossini] was surrounded to the last by admiring and affectionate friends; and if it be true that, like so many other Italians, he regarded Friday as an unlucky day, and thirteen as an unlucky number, it is remarkable that on Friday, the 13th of November, he died.[6]

However, some folklore is passed on through oral traditions. In addition, “determining the origins of superstitions is an inexact science, at best. In fact, it’s mostly guesswork.”[7] Consequently, several theories have been proposed about the origin of the Friday the 13th superstition.

Ermmm yeah okay, we got that cleared out. Anyway, no matter where you are from, Transylvania or Tasmania (huh?), we all believe in superstition :) You see a black cat cross the road and you spit 3 times, don’t walk under the ladder, don’t cut your nails on a Thursday.. and the list goes on.

Here is my take, I was brought up my Granny and she taught me almost everything that I need to know to start a book on superstitiousness (is that even a word?) but I do practise it.

Many people believe that 13 is a bad number, hence you can still see buildings here in Malaysia where you don’t find floor 13, but you have 12A. So does that mean if you were born on a Friday the 13th, you are doomed for life? Aiyoh, let’s not even go there :(
So with today being Friday the 13th, does that mean you are not allowed to go out late today scared that the ghosts are after you? Or maybe, perhaps, just perhaps Rihanna’s ill fate was caused by the fact that she planned a concert on the night of Friday the 13th here in Malaysia? See… even the concert is cursed!

Part of my rantings, I open to you all.. Any superstitious stuff you guys believe in, please leave it on comment, sms or email me. Would love to add on to the already enourmous list of mine :D
Have a good Scary Friday night peeps!

An All Time Low

February 11th, 2009 by kajaipriya

I don’t know why I am feeling so low.. almost depressed, lonely these days. Like something bad is going to happen or has already. (And no, I am not referring to Rihanna’s tragic ‘postponement’ concert) This is something, like it is going to change my life forever.

Or I am just being dramatic and looking at things too deeply. I don’t know. Either way, it feels like SCREWED!

I used to be very bubbly, friendly and fun. I have not been that lately, and it has nothing to do with the whole age thing, I assure you. I just feel… sad. I am not a sad person I tell you, really. I have been known to be happy all the time to the point people used to ask me, “Eh, how do you do it? Smiling all the time?” But now I don’t know where that attitude is. I really need to find it soon!

I hope you guys are having better days ahead. Mine seem bleak.

vod - a - fone

February 5th, 2009 by kajaipriya

yeah the title says it all! Here I am owner of a Vodafone (phone), but no charger.. And so what I think, I am sure I am able to get a charger for any phone shops.. NO.. NO one (sings to Alicia Keys tune) has a charger.. the best part, when asked at a BLUE CUBE (official Celcom outlets who sell Vodafone phones) where to get it, they say they don’t know :(
Sigh.. so here is my plight, dear samaritans who are kind enough to educate me and share your knowledge as to where I am able to find a Vodafone charger.. Please tell me.

FYI I am currently using my pimped Motorola V3 which I am planning to give to my niece for her oustanding achievements in her education… So the sooner I find the charger.. The faster the 10 year old girl would be happier :D
Thanks peeps!

ps: Why do they even BOTHER selling the phone when you cant get a replacement charger.. I wonder what kind of silly marketing is that?

After a long absence

February 3rd, 2009 by kajaipriya

It had been a VERY long time since I last wrote. Funny how someone added me on Facebook and requested to be my friend after reading my blog. She said I sound fun. Of course I am! ha ha.. anyway here I am doing what I love doing.. writing…

Life has changed much since i last wrote. I am now with Contagious Concepts (M) Sdn Bhd.. as a Biz Activist: meaning

To activate business

Ha ha.. lame but at least more happening than being referred to as Marketing Manager.. At least from the card, you know we are pretty happening and creative :)
I amn still with my baby :) still in the same nice house overlloking the sunrise and the golf course.. and I love the life I am leading.

I am currently on a major losing weight regime. I walk / run (depends on my mood) every morning / evening (when i don’t do in the mornings), cut down on my alco intake (i know, almost impossible, but somethings you just have to do lah) and i have cut down on my food intake as well.

Already 30 years old mah.. so need to start taking care loh.. like that lah :)
Anyway since this is a comeback blog writing.. will add on more details as I update more frequently now :)
And if you are a cat lover, check out this website, assure you will LOL (for real)

Missing you now

July 23rd, 2008 by kajaipriya

I miss your handsome face,
Your cute smile, that daze,
I miss our long chats,
And occasional rants,
Your amusing sharp nose,
That I felt with my own,
Now lying on my bed,
Thinking of my fate,
How much I think of you,
But do you think of me,
Half as much as I think of you?

LIfe after Beyond….

July 21st, 2008 by kajaipriya

I am not sure if you guys know, but I have left Beyond Events Sdn Bhd officially .. it was a hard decision to make but one that I had to do nevertheless .. Anyway now where am I going? what am i doing? That would be the question many of you would be asking… well to be honest i dono myself.. no seriously.. I am taking a break from the past paced life.. but somehow i think i dont suit that sort of life.. Why?

well i woke up this morning at 11am, and at first I was like.. “ahh bliss.. i get to wake up so late” but the thing is when i realised i have nothing to do, i panicked.. i could not help myself.. So i woke up fixed the streamyx for my temporary laptop, and i got to work.. yes work.. i know i have handed what i need to do.. but i could not help myself.. i knew somethings would screw up.. so there i was following up on things as if i am on holiday.. yes i was in denial.. no i AM in denial

But i know i would get over this.. I would be joining a new company by august i am sure of it, then my life will be back on the fast lane … till then i am busy with SinclairFalak Sdn Bhd.. a company started off by Ashraf Sinclair and Sazzy Falak, and they have already got my hands full.. But i am excited working for them and with them .. so watch out for more updates.

I know that i said i would be updating this blog more often, but sigh.. how lah? I hardly have time even when i am SUPPOSED to have all the time in the world

TOUGH LUCK!

Anyway … life goes on after beyond..

I saw the sun..

July 8th, 2008 by kajaipriya

My house now faces the sun… I know.. common eh? But it also faces a golf course that spans for as far as the eye can see.. so when I wake up at 7 this morning, I saw the glorious ball of fire just about to peek its magnificent colors to earth. The view was spectacular! Amongst the hills, the horizon, the sun peeked its way up and brightened the world, as well as mine that has been rather gloomy the past few days.

With the sun shining on my face, its rays of lights on my skin, warming all the stifness that I felt the night before, I knew today would be a good day.. i hope so…

Drink and drunk?

July 6th, 2008 by kajaipriya

ha ha ha.. yeah you guessed it as much. I was on a drinking marathon last week.

Wednesday: Wine with Sazzy, Fiza and Ezra
Thursday: 2 frozen margharitas in Chillis
Friday: Vodka + Chivas at Thong’s (colleague) farewell party in Baruk Club
Saturday: More wine with Sazzy and Nazril
Sunday: 1 bottle of Baileys and 3/4 bottle of Chivas with Evelyn
Today - hmmmm still early.. muahahaha

Anyway, i have been doing a lot of thinking lately and I still am, about what I want, and whether what I have is what I really want or is it because I have it that is why I think I want it?

I know deep deep, well sometimes, deep writes like this are good eh? :)

a new friend found

June 28th, 2008 by kajaipriya

we walk to the right
and we walk to the left
and we walk and we walk
and we walk all night
with a heel and a toe
and a half round turn
with a heel and a toe
and a new friend found….

Is finding a friend that easy? is finding someone you can feel COMPLETELY comfortable with that simple? Well i recently had the priviledge of meeting someone who not only made me feel special but made me feel me. I was able to let go of all my doubts about me, and completely be me. It felt good. It felt blissfully good, and I thank thee. It means a lot to me…

Today I am happy, the next day confused, the following day, I am a better person.

Isn’t life great, well you tell me!

this is me

June 26th, 2008 by kajaipriya

Ever wondered if people thought that you were someone when you were not what they thought you were? Ever been in a situation when you reacted differently and suddenly the world is still.. like you have done something that you should never have even thought of, People around you feel you have changed. But that is not the thing.. it is not about change, it is me!

Sigh, to be honest I dont know why i am writing this also.. I know for a fact that i have been recently not been accepted for me being me. I am confused. What do people want anyway?

Ona different note, got a phone call a couple of days ago and got to know that an old pal from the ex company I used to work at, has passed away. He had heart attack at the age of 43.. wow.. life is indeed short.

I think this weekend, i wanna go away.. just cause I can.. what are your plans
