HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LISHA (aka Ali Moo Moo, Ali)!!! Hope you had a brill day, today, and blessed be, for an even better year, filled with lovely surprises like the one Jean and Er brought to you (Bless them).It was a great dinner, we had, in honour of Alisha, this evening, at Dodgy 3... which by far, is the poshest dodgy restaurant we've been to. And then, the creme de la crope, was when Erica and

Study Study Study...

2005-05-22T10:56:00.000+01:00

I know today is supposed to be phone day, and everything, but I just can't leave the flat right now... had 2 minutes from my break, so decided to come online, and update everyone, etc, and whatnot. Happy Birthday, to Aunty Dotti! Micro lab is on Tuesday, but apparently it helps alot when you have the past papers, so got Nigel to come up here, with them, bless him. He came up, yesterday, and we

Well...

2005-05-19T18:38:00.000+01:00

The major exam is finished... I'm not saying a word about it, till the results come out. It wasn't really an exam, though. This is just Trinity's way of messing with our minds - " examination • noun 1 a detailed inspection or investigation. 2 a formal test of knowledge or proficiency in a subject or skill. "This being from the Oxford Dictionary. The end of year exam, for the Pharmacology module

Oh Wow....

2005-05-13T06:38:00.000+01:00

I just saw the date... wonderful day! Happy Black Friday, people!

Just A Little One...

2005-05-13T06:25:00.000+01:00

Haven't heard that many times :P But seriously, I just decided to take a little break from all the studying, and drowning under piles of Pharmacological drug name, side effects, and modes of action, to amuse the world, as to just how crazy I've become.Sometime during the week, I decided I learnt alot better, when I was trying to explain to Julian, cause he asks these questions, and as frustrating

The Cat's Out Of The Bag, Now...

2005-05-04T20:40:00.000+01:00

So, I guess seeing as everyone knows, there's no harm in saying this - yes, people, what you've heard is true - I am indeed coming back this year, this summer, this July. See you then :)On the side of me that feels awe for people, I was talking to Ibrahim, yesterday, in the cafe, while we were having lunch (I swear, the longest conversation I had with a Mauritian, excluding Pooja) and he's cool.

Once Again...

2005-05-02T17:02:00.000+01:00

Exams are on the 18th of May, and so, once more, blogging may not be an option for me... every once in a while, though, when I need to vent feelings, blah blah...This week has more or less been uneventful. I went into a MAJOR mood swing, for some reason, like I was extremely, terribly moody, for some reason... actually, no, it was for alot fo small stuff, some of which I knew was out of my

" Tu Ne Pas Un Robo, Bon Jour, Ca Va, Merci, Il Nea Pas De Qoi..."

2005-04-26T23:15:00.000+01:00

This weekend has undoubtedly, without fail been one of THE best ways to spend a weekend in my life! Before I continue with this post, the " thank you's" and big shout outs go to:Nigel - for being the unappointed group leader, half the time, always keeping a bright outlook for us, making the hol fun, being the navigator (Nigel the Navigator), for being able to make us constantly laugh, especially

Guess Who's Going To Belgium!!

2005-04-23T02:04:00.000+01:00

If you guessed me, you're absolutely right!I'm so exceited! In 2 hours, Julian and I will be travelling to city centre, to pick up Alisha and Lily... I think Nigel's going with Jean Marie, Erica, and her brother. The flight's at 6:30... which means we have to be there for about 4:30... I have my visa, and I'm ready to go!

To...

2005-04-22T23:36:00.000+01:00

This is a shout out to Jean Marie! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY DEAR! You've had just about a week of celebrations, and some more are still to come! Especially in Belgium! I swear, this was a fantastic 21st Birthday, for Jean, cause it really did last through the week - from dinners, to clubbing, to drink fests, finally culminating in a trip to Belgium!Who else can boast of such party celebrations!?!? It

The Voices Of Angels...

2005-04-18T20:40:00.000+01:00

If there's any movie that you have to see, by the end of this year, it's The Chorus. I will accept no excuses. It's a French film, but there are subtitles (obviously, or else I would have just left, and missed out on a film, that I give...) TWO THUMBS UP! Yes, people, this movie has made my DVD list. It's touching, inspiring, and the voices that come out of those boys, who are no more than 15 are

The Most Unexpected Thing Can Happen At The Most Unexpected Times...

2005-04-17T11:43:00.000+01:00

I never thought, after 2 years, this would happen. I always thought that I was this strong individual who could stand up to anything... ha ha. To be honest, I thought I'd built a life, and a niche for myself up here, as I had done in Trinidad.Nothing last night could have prepared me for the sudden intense whiplash of emotion that hit me, and the absolute longing to be back in Trinidad... to go

GUESS WHO'S GOING TO BELGIUM!!!

2005-04-14T18:54:00.000+01:00

YES!!! That's right! Santa Claus!And me! The visa came through - I just called, this morning, on the way to lectures. And the lady at the other end said that my visa has been approved, and I can come pick it up, tomorrow! How hott is that! So, Belgium, here I come!Now, first off, I have to thank Nigel, Julian, Lily, and Jean Marie, for being there, while I found out, I needed to get a visa (cause

Schedule Is Done, And I Think I Am Famous :)

2005-04-13T22:12:00.000+01:00

Finally, my schedule is set, and I think even though there may be a few glitches here and there, I may check it out, and whatnot(so excited, cause I might actually follow this one!)So, this term, I have quite a few new things, including those strange things... er... what are they termed? Ummm... no, not herpes... not syphillis... FRIENDS! That's it. Hee hee... no, they're not new, it's just that

It's Been A While...

2005-04-09T02:52:00.000+01:00

The last time I actually posted, I was still relaxing, a bit, and winding down, for Easter, asking the Easter Support Group what they felt like doing, and then getting a mirrored version of the question posed back at me.At the moment, helping Kurleigh try to get over his panic stage of exams... Kurleigh, you'll do great in exams... you'll pass at least! I'm praying for you, man!So, after that

Lying In Bed...

2005-03-28T11:36:00.000+01:00

So, I decided to try something this morning, and I'm lying in bed, while typing this... VERY comfortable!Yesterday's lunch was SO good! Nigel, Jean - Marie, Me, Gracia, Jill, Kei, Neha and Aaditya and Sweta were there. I think everyone is trying to outdo the other, cause this lunch was superb! Like, roast chicken, creamed potatoes, stuffing, cheese covering veggies, and wine. WOW! So, afterwards,

Life Is An Oyster...

2005-03-27T11:44:00.000+01:00

And that's just what Nigel and I had to eat, yesterday morning! Hee hee... this is student life, people!So, 2 days ago, a few hours after typing that little blip on Emotional Intelligence, Nigel came online (msn web messenger, in school), at almost the same time he texted me, and asked me to come down to the cinema with him... Now, this is Nigel, saying that if I don't go, he's going alone, so

It's All About...

2005-03-25T11:13:00.000Z

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, APPARENTLY.Now, by definition, emotional intelligence is that part of our psyche (intriduced to the world, by Goleman, a famed Psychiatrist) that governs our social interactions. We only get so far, with academic intelligence, IQ, and whatnot. The thing that gets us the promotions, the friends, the cooperation, and respect of people, is Emotional Intelligence. So, after

And The Meal Of The Day Is...

2005-03-25T01:15:00.000Z

(drumroll) Scalloped potatoes, roasted chicken, with stuffing, and vegetables, with gravy. Cooked by me, prepared by Jean Marie, Jill, Keisuke, Nigel and me. The only problem, was that it took far too long to actually cook! But it was so funny - 2 hours to cook, 15 mins to eat! But I am so glad! I actually mastered scalloped potatoes! How do I know? Because they taste like the ones my mum makes!

OUCH!

2005-03-23T23:14:00.000Z

I can barely move a muscle, I can't straighten my arms, or laugh, without wincing in pain, soon afterwards. Typing is a chore, at the moment... and why? All because I have to work on my body image! Yes, people, I am wokring out... in a gym... with Nigel... then walking back, to Trinity Halls. Argh... the days off aren't really helping either. I had better get some definition, soon, for all the

A Workout, A Lunch, A Movie, And A Dinner

2005-03-22T01:28:00.000Z

That pretty much sums the day up. I'm up at 1:30, listening to Insatiable, by Darren Hayes, because I just came in with Julian. Woke up at 8 (for some reason, Nigel and I always wake up really early, when we don't need to! Try waking us up for exams! lol) and lay in bed, for half an hour, with Loreena McKennitt playing in the background. Such heaven is VERY hard to come by. Then, decided to

After So Long!

2005-03-20T23:52:00.000Z

So, I've actually finished exams, and catching up on the sleep I needed after them... Should I proceed from where I left off, or should I just continue about today...Contemplating (I refuse to use the word " think", because of Julian hee hee) Contemplating... ok, well, I think I can blog about what I can remember, anyway. It's going to be a bit hard, to delve into my memories, though, cause I

Last Blog... About Last Night

2005-02-25T09:45:00.000Z

Last night was so cool! OMG! Awesome! It makes up for all the time I'm going to be staying indoors for the next 2 weeks. Last night was the first Afro - Caribbean party, at REDZ (a club). Nigel, Keisuke, and I were the only ones from the group. I was so going to have fun, that night, cause Karen, Anu and Gurmit were coming as well. So, we went in, when it first started, at like about 10, when no

A Snow Baby, And 3 Snow Angels...

2005-02-23T10:37:00.000Z

Anyone looking out of their window, at 9 in the morning, till 10:30, would have seen a Singaporean, a Malaysian and a Trinidadian playing in the flurry of snow and hail that was coming down ever so thickly this morning.Anyone looking out of their window, would stare for a while, and the 3 Snow Angels and one snow baby made but said Trinidadian, and Singaporean and Malaysian repectively (i.e. I

IT'S STICKING TO THE GROUND! IT'S STICKING TO THE GROUND!

2005-02-23T08:08:00.000Z

All Irish friends would be receiving this text this morning. Today, Wednesday, 23rd of February is more than a magical day for me, cause the snow has stuck to the ground, and formed a white layer, over it! I AM LOOKING OUTSIDE MY WINDOW, AND SEEING ALL WHITE! WHAT AM I DOING IN HERE?!!!? GOODBYE!

Explanation

2005-02-23T00:17:00.000Z

This post is more or less an explanation as to why I won't be online too many times, and consequently why I won't be blogging as frequently.Exams are rolling around, so this is my chance to study hard for Neuroscience module (joy)... So, for the next 3 weeks, I have to be a spongy vegetable. i.e. I have to remain in my room, not moving for hours on end, soaking up everything that's put in front

Time With Friends, Is Time That Becomes Priceless...

2005-02-20T01:02:00.000Z

Well, today, I went to Donobate, to visit Aunty Dotti, for the first time, this year... yes, I know, disgraceful... but I asked her to come to City Centre, when exams were all over. But that was all good - actually went on my own this time (the last time, I went with Nigel and Julian, and the time before, I went with Rohini). So, I got these gorgeous roses - all good - yellow, with a tinge of

" Yesterday, I.......2. Watched my last movie with Kiran for the year(and UNSUCCESSFULLY tried to get in Japanese Story)...4. Thought about my life without my irish friends for 4 months and was gutted especially people like Jason, Kiran,Julian,Renee et al.Today, I ....1.

About The Last Few Days...

2005-02-15T16:21:00.000Z

The thing that really sucks is that I'm not able to post pics on this stupid thing. Argh... Anyway, as promised, I was going to talk about Sunday - after we woke up, Nigel, Julian and I ate some of the fried rice, and then we all left, and I went to meet Lily and Alisha, to go to Museum, where the Chinese New Year celebration was. I decided to invite Rohini, but she came late, so Alisha and Lily

The Best Valentine's Day Ever!

2005-02-15T02:11:00.000Z

I guess that pretty much sums up today! Hee hee... it started off with me waking up at 10, cause I set the alarm for 7, it woke me up, I turned it off, sat up in my bed, and then fell back into the luxurious pillow, that has become my new best friend!Then, at 10, I got ready for the day, and waited for the bus... oh, btw, at around a few minutes past 12, I messaged all the girls in my phone, and

A Week Of Free Dinners...

2005-02-14T03:18:00.000Z

So, yes, this week has been a most extraordinary and heart - warming week. This Wednesday was the Chinese New Year, so all the people from Malaysia and Singapore celebrated by having steam boats ( a soup version of fondue) and dinners!Monday wasn't anything, so Rohini and I went out for a bit of quality time, cause I knew I wasn't going to see her much of this week, anyway.Tuesday, there was a

Quotes From Notable Movies....

2005-02-06T03:29:00.000Z

Namely Alexander - " Excess of all things is the undoings of men." " It's a high price she charges for 9 months lodging in the womb!" and of course, the theme of the whole movie - " Fortune favours the bold!" And for Closer - " Lying is the most fun someone can have, without taking their clothes off. But it's more fun if you do." Then, some quotes from a cafe, that Nigel, Lily, Jean Marie,

Catching Up...

2005-02-05T02:39:00.000Z

Due to the request of a most respected friend, I've decided to update my review of Closer (espeically since I saw it again today with Lily). Closer was originally a play, which was tanscribed to the screen. It was obvious, halfway through the movie, that this was a play to be read, and re - read, if you wanted to get the full effect of the words, themes, etc. However, after watching it a second

2 Hours Long...

2005-02-03T22:14:00.000Z

That's how long I talked to Tina, tonight! yay... hee hee... we bonded, and everything. She's so cool! And she has brilliant ideas, for art, as well! Today, was... hmmm... today was, ah yes. Today I actually woke up on time... well, sorta, anyway. But we were late for the bus, so I took the LUAS (tram) down to Grafton Street (rich people street) and had to make a few turns, to get to the 123 bus

A Good Day...

2005-02-03T12:47:00.000Z

So, there were some stuff that I forgot to mention yesterday... I just forgot what they were. Oh yeah, well, for one, we had an ethics debate, on euthanasia, and I blasted my opponent speaker away, and totally nullified almost all his arguments, so yay to my mum, and Kurleigh who gave me my oratory skills. Next huge achievement was when I sat down afterwards, and Anna (THE most beautiful girl in

Negligence, Thy Name Is Kiran...

2005-02-02T03:29:00.000Z

Now, I know I said I would update like everyday, with this laptop, and I should, shouldn't I? Right, well, since the happenings of Sunday, I've been able to fabricate a timetable, which I can just about stick to, if I try. Also just found out that we get 2 weeks off, before exams, to study - which is beginning to freak me out - why would Trinity College, which has never given a day off work, for

Did I Say We Had Snow?!?

2005-01-23T14:25:00.000Z

Yes, people, Dublin had enough snow to make a snowball! Yay! Should have seen it - Julian came into my room, and was like - it's snowing! And I was just there like yeah, right, Julian, you know, it's not nice to play with people's emotions like that, you know. Then he made me open the curtains and thesnow was falling down so thickly. it was beautiful. Then, Caroline came, and she dragged us

Today I Will Be....

2005-01-22T10:04:00.000Z

Going to Nigel's for lunch, I think, and we're having an E.R. marathon, where I can actually learn some Medicine on screen... Then, after that, we're (Nigel, Julian and I) are going over to Rohini's for pancake dinner, and I have GOT to watch Charmed, I don't care of it seems unsociable, but blah. I am not going to miss it the 2nd time in a row. Then, after Charmed, we're going to watch The

YAY!

2005-01-20T17:22:00.000Z

I am so happy! You wouldn't believe - right now, I'm typing from my laptop, in my room! Yes! I got connected to the internet! How cool is that! I am very impressed... So, now I can reply to all those emails, that have been waiting since heaven knows when. To those who haven't watched Vanity Fair, do so... soon! Most excellent, and the wit in the scripts is indescribable. Of course, as from

We Will Ignore This Weekend...

2005-01-17T10:36:00.000Z

And move straight onto today... which is seemingly uneventful. Sigh... I'm getting more technologically advanced - always a good thing... and finding Neuro stuff pretty interesting... learning what psychotic disorders I have, and whatnot. Hee hee... I think Nigel, Julian and I are going to go check out apartment complexes tomorrow, cause we were talking about them last night, when we made dinner

The Broken Hearts Club...

2005-01-14T17:39:00.000Z

Do you know that feeling you get, when you've been sitting next to someone, and you catch a glimpse of them? You think to yourself... I know that person... Could we have met in a past life? Or are we meant to be meeting now? The person is busily doing work, and all you can think of, is what is would be like, getting to know that someone. This being has no idea who you are, what you do, just an

Alexander...

2005-01-12T18:54:00.000Z

I have seen another movie, that has made my list - Alexander... as in Alexander the Great. I have placed that with Troy, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Moulin Rouge, as the list continues with the DVD's I have to buy... Argh... It was so good! Then again, Julian didn't think it was all that, so I figure I will have to get the whole story of Alexander's life, if I want to see the movie from his

Back At Uni...

2005-01-10T10:38:00.000Z

I left England, yesterday, at 3, and arrived in Dublin at 5... Then, after messaging Hini, and Nigel, a few times, I found out, much to my dismay, and mounting tension, that Biochem results were out! Re: This was the one exam, last term, that counted for 100%, so if I was on the pass fail list, I would be royally screwed! This being mainly because my forte is memory, while Julian and Nigel

Christmas Day... And Then Some

2004-12-26T02:10:00.000Z

Well, Christmas Day has come and passed, and the cousins have had the traditional Christmas dinner. As I said before, it was Me, Tara, Rob, Mala, Jamie, and Agron, Zac, and Zephie. Zac and Zephie are so blessed to have so many people loving them, in their lives, as are all of us! So, the morning, was spent looking at Zac unwrap one of his presents, and play with it, for the better half of the

Omg.... I'm Going To Be Old!

2004-12-25T02:45:00.000Z

Omg... I'm going to be 19, in 3 days! Geez... it's just hit me. It also just hit me, that the more I create a life for myself, up here, the less I miss Trinidad... not too good, given that I have people rooting for me to come back home, after I graduate! Wow... am at Tara's at the moment. Zephie (Zephan) has grown SO much! I mean, in 8 months, he's gotten 8 teeth, since he was born, and he

The Phantom Of The Opera...

2004-12-17T21:35:00.000Z

So, yesterday, after the Biochem exam, I wandered around in a daze, thinking that I had seriously botched up the paper, because of some stupid questions, and then moronic me didn't read the instructions at the front of the exam booklet. The instructions that said that every new answer should be started in a new booklet... so, at the end of the exam, when I closed the question paper, and was

Anatomy Down...

2004-12-15T15:05:00.000Z

So, that was Anatomy done... Oh yeah... I didn't talk about the Clinical skills yesterday did I? Well, I passed... yay me. Lol... but the height of the exam was when I was advising this patient to change her lifestyle, as a result of her fears of a father who underwent triple by pass... of course, this wasn't a real patient, but an actor... anyway, the person who observed me said that I had an

One Down... Another In Half An Hour

2004-12-13T13:51:00.000Z

Hi, all! So, that's one exam down - Pharmacology, and I have a blood smear test to do - more or less, it's testing our ability to count cells, and to operate a microscope. *scoff* like we'll actually need THAT skill! Anyway, Pharmacology was alright... as usual, I'm not really going to say much else, until the results are out... which should be next term, when I come back from England... a 19

Just A Little Break

2004-12-08T09:21:00.000Z

So, I'm in University, and it's 5 days, till exams, and I am FREAKING OUT OF MY MIND! The usual pre - exam ritual... you know? Everything is counting on me doing well - my mum's and dad's happiness, my sister's confidence, my holidays, my scholarship... hell... no, not actually hell. Argh... Hmmm.... so...... after these exams, I have 1 day, to blog about the girls I met during the term, and

The Awe Of Everyone Around Me...

2004-12-03T21:07:00.000Z

I can be so conceited when I want to be! Hee hee hee... but then again, I deserve it... sigh... there I go again - "Love the Narcissist in yourself, and you will be revered for eternity"... A line from on of my poems. Anyway, that little tidbit was because, you remember my poem, that made it to The Olympian, in my year, right? My House? I read it to the peer counselling training group in which I

Julian Has Internet...

2004-11-29T01:36:00.000Z

So, Julian has internet, and I am taking a break from my studies, to come blog, at 1:39 in the morning,and no one is online! What luck... Anyway, onto the inflammatory comments of last post, I'm not going to take them off, cause I believe in not keeping things secret, forever... if my blog is to be the battlefield of some war, then so be it... as long as that war ends in peace, later on... ah

Happy Birthday, My Dear!

2004-11-24T09:31:00.000Z

To one who has known me... for 3 and a half years... ? yet seems to know more about me, than I do, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DIANA! Friend, Best friend (one of, anyway), Girlfriend... (I won't even dare to call you what that boy said, when we were with Mala, at TCBY... but you know what I'm talking bout, hee hee)... My, how you've grown! We evolve, together, Diana, and I consider myself blessed, to have

I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry, I'm........

2004-11-23T08:26:00.000Z

< On the 16th of August, and the 2nd of October, I owed 2 very important people emails... calls... cards... anything, just to let them know that I was alive, and thinking of them, on those days. I regret not having the initiative to think of calling cards... I regret making excuses, because they would have been easier. I don't know how I will be forgiven for this, but I am so sorry, Nigel... I

The Trigone And The Divali Dinner...

2004-11-19T15:10:00.000Z

So, Happy Divali to everyone, whom I didn't call, I am so sorry... But you all will be so proud of me, about this, but last Friday, Me, Julian, and Nigel hosted a Divali dinner, at Trinity Halls. It was so disorganised, though! Ishvar actually posed the idea, during lunch, on Tuesday, and by Wednesday, I thought, ok, it'll be a great idea, if we went through with it! So, by Thursday, I had

And So, The Obsession Starts, Once More...

2004-11-11T11:30:00.000Z

You're a Winter. You very much enjoy your time alone but do like other people's company sometimes. You just need your space. You have a few priviledged friends who saw past your colder exterior to find the true you. You can have pretty bad mood swings (though you hate to admit it) so you could be soft one second then storming around the next! But over all, you're a very pleasant person once

How Do You Say Happy Birthday To A Ghost?

2004-11-10T17:02:00.000Z

This is for the friend from a few posts before... Happy Birthday... You know I still care about you... you know I still consider you my friend... You know I still consider you alive... Blessed be. Sooooooooooo....... In the movie Inside I'm Dancing, you get to see some streets that are really terribly close to Trinity College, like Grafton Street. Sigh... so, Trinidadian Divali is tomorrow,

I Would If I Could, But I Can't...

2004-11-08T14:07:00.000Z

This is in reference to me, actually updating every once in a while! I mean, seriously, people, I am like totally " innundated with work" as Mark put it, to blog, let alone reply to emails. I am so sorry... I really must take some time out, and reply to all of you! Anyway, so that last few days have seen me drowning in Pharmacology, Microbiology, and Molecular Medicine, pulling Nigel and Julian

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KURLEIGH!

2004-11-05T13:31:00.000Z

I know I haven't been on in a while, and I probably won't be on in a another while, but I just came on to say a huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY, to one of the best friends I ever had - Blessed be, Kurleigh. I know that I was blessed, to have known youfor half my life, so far! Imagine that! Half my life... Like we stayed up talking, this morning, we have gone through so so much! And nothing, or no one can

Hmmmm...... Interesting

Hmmm.... something is reallt screwing around with my computer, or something, cause I can't see the newest post, that I typed. As for the comment, about http, and all that, ignore it, cause I wrote that comment in, before Nigel told me he could see the newer posts... Anyway, so continue going to www.whisperoflife.blogspot.com... yay!

Onto The Doings In Ireland...

2004-10-20T15:14:00.000+01:00

After I came off the plane, I took the bus back to Dublin city centre... It's amazing how accustomed you get to the sights, and everything! To tell you the truth, the only thought that was in my mind, at the time, was that it was great to be back, at least. Of course, this was at 4:30, in the evening... BEFORE I waited for like an hour and a half for a bus that wasn't coming during the weekends!

At long last...

2004-10-18T15:53:00.000+01:00

I am finally going to sit down, here, and type about the last 4 months of my hols. They were fun. End... So anyway, now that I am back here, in Ireland, I shall proceed to talk about Dublin... Hee hee... you didn't think I was going to just sit here, and not brag about spending some of the best times I ever had with my English cousins, will you!?!? So, I left in June, when secondary school was

Now, I Know I Should Be Blogging Everyday...

2004-10-07T10:56:00.000+01:00

But I have so much stuff to do, before I settle down! I am just in a frantic rush! But at one point, during this week, will definitely sit down, and recall the memories of this holidays - the good, and the bad. Today, though, will be checking out the clubs, at the front of Trinity, with Nigel, Julian, Rohini, and Sara (Rohini's best friend from Texas). Then, I think it's back to the computer lab,

Onto Current Life...

2004-10-04T13:27:00.000+01:00

I AM BACK!

My Last Blog, For A While...

2004-06-09T09:50:00.000+01:00

Well, today is that day... sob... Last night, I spent with Dustin, more than anything else, and we talked about alot of things... Actually, that evening, he introduced me to my first beer (made in South Africa no less - quite good, if I may say so myself), and my first pint of Guiness (which we both left halfway, in Madison Bar - at 12 in the night). Twas a quiet night... only could have been

Onto The Doings Of Last Night :)

2004-06-08T11:50:00.000+01:00

So, yesterday, after the computer lab, I felt majorly depressed, so I called Nigel (who was still asleep... at like 10 in the morning - rolling eyes) who came downstairs, to help me with carrying My, Rohini's, Jean Marie's and Erica's stuff outside waiting for the cab. Twas a lucky thing I called back, though, cause they were going to send a car, and not a van (trust me, there were 21 things to

And So The Depression Sets In...

2004-06-07T09:58:00.000+01:00

This will have to be a quick post, seeing as I have almostall my belongings out of my apartment... So, today is the day I move all my stuff, with Rohini's and some of Erica's and Jean Marie's stuff, out to Nigel's place. The title is describing my state, for the past 2 days or so, and will intensely worsen, tomorrow... It's the kind of depression, where you wish you could cry, just to let all the

2004-06-06T10:40:00.000+01:00

Why is it, when I read the comments most recently made, the following passage comes to mind, from The Philosophical Society of Trinity College? " Whereas you can add your name to the illustrious list of past members for a mere 3 nicker and have yourself immortalised in our records, back in the day it was a little more difficult. Some chap called Edmund Burke tried to join (no relation to this

One Whole Year...

2004-06-05T15:33:00.000+01:00

So, it just struck me, as I was replying to all the emails that the throngs of fans sent me. That is, the ones who I didn't chat with on msn, anyway. I'm actually going to spend more than a year, without touching Trinidadian soil! I mean, I left on the 20th of September, and I am not going back for Christmas, as planned. I mean, I want to go back, and everything, but in truth, I have some exams,

My Goodness... What Time Did I Wake Up?

2004-06-04T18:01:00.000+01:00

I mean, I remember waking up at 8, this morning, to go get Erica's and Jean's stuff, to leave in my room, until the big haul to Nigel's house, and then I went back to sleep, and didn't wake up till about 11, I guess. That's when I had breakfast, and watched Bend It Like Beckham, from beginning to end. 2 Words - Keira Knightley (swoon) Keira (swoon) Kiran (swoon) see the similarity? :) I feel

Guess What I'm Wearing!

2004-06-03T14:42:00.001+01:00

So, I decided to come into Trinity College, in my pajamas, of all things, mainly because I was too lazy to bother changing... go figure. The reason for me coming all the way down to Trinity College? Had to help Rohini catch a cab to the airport... So, during this whole week, people have been leaving Trinity Halls, by the masses, sigh... leaving me, to my lonesome. Julian left this morning, and

Revel In My Glory!

2004-06-02T13:56:00.000+01:00

So, finally got results, today! You're now talking to Kiran Rajiv Bissessar Santlal (am actually going to change it to that!) Boy wonder, of Class of 2008 - as in, the 18 year old boy who's now in 3rd Med! I PASSED! I am so happy! I mean, although I kinda knew, when my name wasn't on the Pass/Fail viva lists, for the subjects, but now, it's official! I am moving up in the world! Big sigh of

To The Woman Who Gave Me Life!

2004-06-01T12:04:00.000+01:00

Obviously we all know who this is! Indra Kamla Bissessar Santlal... We must all thank Rose and Sam (my maternal grandparents), for on this day, some few years ago, my Grandmother gave birth to a baby girl, who grew up, into a strong willed, independent, beautiful, intelligent, caring, inspiring, funny, sophisticated, elitist mother of mine. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY DARLING MUM! May God Bless you, with

The Prisoner And Emma

2004-05-31T16:39:00.000+01:00

So, today, Nigel, Julian and I are going to watch Harry Potter ( 'Arry Po'er - say with a cockney accent) in 2 hours, and already, scores of grown people in Trinity College, no less, are leaving, wearing capes, and carrying wands and broom sticks, and I am left to stand and stare in wonderment, at the fact that just a year ago, I was watching them on T.V. and thinking that they were the craziest

The Low Down...

2004-05-30T10:54:00.000+01:00

Hallo, all... and welcome, to another day of my life... whatever... Anyway, good news - I passed all my subjects, so yay me! Physio, Biochem, AND Anat... sigh... so much... and yet, even so much more to do next year! 2nd... special birthday greetings, to one trais hott chica (that was a sad mix of French, English and Spanish) living in Canada... or somewhere thereabouts... (why am I so ditzy,

Reasons and Explanations

2004-04-14T13:04:00.000+01:00

Well, you all will not be seeing me, until the 25th of May, mainly because I have banned myself from the internet, until then. I have exams starting on 11th of May - Mulitple choice, 17th of May - Essay type questions, and 25th of May - Anatomy viva. Then I am free... but until then, I need to just keep off the internet. And for all of you sceptics, out there, yes, I am mature enough to stay away

And For The Rest Of You All...

2004-04-08T16:35:00.000+01:00

So, a few days ago, I was sitting at the back of the class, cause that's where I like to sit, when I feel like I want to look down my nose at everyone. And I see the people in the front row - a group of friends, talking, and laughing... As you can tell, I am not a social creature - countless hours of studying, and turning down requests to go to the pub, or some club, has turned me into little

2 New Friends!

2004-04-08T08:39:00.000+01:00

Hee hee... so, like I forgot to say, in my last post, that I found 2 new friends! One in Dublin, itself, and one in Canada... yes, Stash, talking about you. :) So, like, since Easter hols, Anand introduced me to his cousin - Stasha, and we had a mutual friend - Riaz (her boyfriend). Anyway, so, like, she commented on my blog, a while back, and then I sent her my email address, and we've been

De Finalidad...

2004-04-05T16:30:00.000+01:00

And so, I figure I will blog, like once every other day, or something. Because I am slowly coming to the realisation at how much work lays before me. Like, a little less than 5 weeks, now, people! What has happened, in the last week? Hmmmm..... well, for one thing, Spring is here, officially. The first buds came up ever so long ago, and it's warming up... actually, it's raining like hell, but

The Explanation

2004-03-31T08:23:00.000+01:00

Now, I know you all will be really frustrated by seeing the same post over, and over again, but I have decided to blog, only once a week, now, mainly because I have 6 weeks left for exams, and I am starting to freak out. Mainly studying, now. As far as I have scheduled, for the whole week, each subject gets a full 24 hours, per week, which should be ample time, to cover the work. Argh... this is

Now, Onto The Real Stuff

2004-03-30T08:00:00.000+01:00

So, finally, I am in a blogging mood, to sit down, for a good while, and talk about the hols. Where else to start, but from the beginning. I left, sometime 2 weeks ago, and arrived, in Gatwick, where I stayed with Aunty Carmen, and Mala, for a week. They laminated the floors - nice. And Mala and I used to stay up till like 11, and 12 in the night, just talking. (She usually sleeps at 9, so, by

Forgive...

2004-03-12T12:20:00.000Z

Forgive, for not updating, when I have so little time, on the internet, for you all to hear from me, before I leave for England, but I had to help Rohini with a personal crisis, and then, on top of that, she had to go pack, so, she really didn't want me to go anywhere. Karen had already gone to England, and I was the only other close friend she could confide in... anyway, enough about that...

Sigh... the crescent moon

2004-03-10T08:20:00.000Z

You are a moon shadow. With the moon as your source you are a being of great mystery. Constantly drifting, you descend into darkness to conceal your brokenness. You have come to believe that you are the only one you can rely upon for constancy and safety that you need. But those who know how to see you find enchanting beauty in your wistfulness and fragility. It is to them that you should flee

The Past Week

2004-03-09T09:19:00.000Z

Hallo... I was supposed to be making breakfast for Rohini's flat, as a thank you, for putting up with me staying over, so late into the nights, during the term, but I think everyone is way too hung over, from last night. So, yes, I went to Zanzibar, and yes, I drank half a bottle of wine, before, and I could feel the drunken stupor beginning to alight - not the most pleasant of feelings. So,

Updating

2004-03-08T11:38:00.000Z

Well, I don't have enough time, so I figure I will update tomorrow, then... One thing - next term, they are getting internet, and Karen (bless her soul) said that I coul duse her lap top for msn - yay! Anatomy Spot has ripped different parts of my anatomy to bits! But all the same, it was pretty good... Will be alive, hopefully, tomorrow, because I am going to Zanzibar (club) with the rest of the

Ice?!?! But... then again, the description is me

2004-03-04T09:22:00.000Z

You're an ice dragon! Congrats! Out of all the dragons, you are most powerful but do not like to show it. A rare and special creature, you have artistic style and are great at expressing yourself. You think friends and family are the most important, and are a hopeless romantic. Of course, as ice goes, you can be a little cold or harsh at times. But not to worry, you always apologize later! What

Just a quick note, before I speed to class

2004-03-03T09:07:00.000Z

The world was made a better place, by the birth of this individual - wise, caring, always having a shoulder to lean on, and an ear to listen to, no matter what problems you had... was described as Lyndon's mum, in the NAPS Olympian, but in truth and in fact, she became everyone's maternal figure, apart from their biological mother. May God Bless you, Mrs. Esther Alexander, today, especially,

Onto the explanation of yesterday

2004-03-01T10:09:00.000Z

So, yesterday, I couldn't type much, because there were people behind me, and so on, and so forth. On Saturday, I was seriously contemplating not going, because I had exams, the following Monday (Monday 8th), but something told me to go, and you know what? I am so glad that I did! Aunty Dotti lives in Donobate, which is more the posh country side, of Ireland, and I got to see fields, and

Sunday, Sunday, la la, la la la.... wait... wrong day

2004-02-29T23:13:00.000Z

Well, I figure I will describe yesterday, tomorrow, then, because nothing much has happened, over the past few hours, and I don't really intend to stick around here, much longer... Huh... You're a Magical Angel! Out of all the angels, you are the one most afflicted with magic. You can do many enchantments, as well as sorcery. You can't do black magic, because even though you're not so "pure,"

Sob...

2004-02-28T23:56:00.000Z

Sigh, I am depressed for some strange reason. I should be happy, because I just came back from an extremely lovely dinner, with one of my aunt's friends. I guess it started yesterday, when I saw Kate* (names have been changed, to protect identitiy from prying eyes) crying. Why, you may ask, was she crying? My dear, dear friends, let me explain from the beginning. We Med students in Ireland have

2004-02-27T11:41:00.000Z

IT SNOWED YESTERDAY! IT BLOODY WELL SNOWED YESTERDAY! I know I wasn't supposed to go on the computer, but this is way too much! I mean, like this is the first time I ever saw snow! WOW! I can't believe it! I woke up, and was having breakfast, and looking out of the window, and thinking... goodness, it's freezing cold, and it hasn't snowed yet (because one of my friends said that the weather

... Again... alas

2004-02-25T09:35:00.000Z

lol... so, I realise I wasn't supposed to come on the net... but you know me (rolls eyes). I know, I know... but, I am only here because I thought I had to do some research on the net for PBL, and then realised that I was the chairperson! So, yay, 2 free hours, for me, for now. After PBL, though, I have to go do Anatomy, for 4 hours, straight! NICE! Urgh... I think the cadavers are beginning to

Alas...

2004-02-24T10:16:00.000Z

Well, it seems that I won't be on the internet as of this day, because I have exams, this week Friday, and then the other, and final one on March 8th... so, I guess until then, I will try to remember everything that happens... I just decided to come online, and tell you all, because I don't want you to think that I am bed - ridden, or some such... anyway, onto meet Olivia (Trini gyal) to help me

So strange!

2004-02-21T23:34:00.000Z

Thanx Stephanie... This is one of the strangest things I have ever encountered. Left brain, right brain: While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction and there's nothing you can do about it. So, anyway, I don't know if I said this before,

Aum Bhur Bhuva Svaha...

2004-02-20T14:43:00.000Z

Unfortunately, my grand uncle passed away, 2 days ago, and the cremation was yesterday, I think... it's really strange, hearing about it, and not seeing the mourning faces that would surround the pyre... he was my grand - mum's brother. After I found out, I went back up to Rohini's apartment, and talked to Karen, because we were alone, in the kitchen.. and interesting discussion about life, and

Gold Wrapping Paper

2004-02-17T10:21:00.000Z

Thanks Yani! The story goes that some time ago a mother punished her 5 year old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and she became even more upset when the child used the gold paper to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her mother the next morning and said, "This is for you, Momma." The

Another Day... 3 more cakes

2004-02-16T23:46:00.000Z

So, the first goes out to someone who is in my mum's group of worthy people of note i.e. her friends - this person has cared for me, and told me jokes, quite a few times... one thing I mainly heard her say, was to wear short pants when I had something to show off, when I wore short pants to school, on few occassions. lol... HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTY GALE! I hope it was a great one, and may God bless

Last night, and 2 more cakes

2004-02-15T09:04:00.000Z

Last night, I made Valentine's dinner, for Rohini and Karen, which is a big thing, because I actually cooked from scratch! Now, onto what exactly I cooked! Well, the Bhaigan I didn't cook - that came in a tin... and it was spicy, and so much! The three of us were so full, by the time we finished it. What I did make, however, was the roti to go with it! Goodness, that brought back memories of my

Hearts and Cake

2004-02-14T08:45:00.000Z

So, today is the day of lurve... ok... how not right did that sound? Romance has filled the air... well, not at Trinity College, anyway, where some dude insisted on dressing up in a white jersey, and something that looked like a dhoti, and carried around a bow and arrow... for a while, because I saw the dhoti, I thought he was from a Hari Krishna sect... but then I saw Cupid written across his
