If I were a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I were a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

Stolen

2012-01-17T20:13:00.001-05:00

I met love on the gravel road

While I was walking alone

She was so gentle and sweet

Kissed my hands

Kissed my feet

She poured me a glass of deep red wine

To numb my feet and ease my mind

I fell asleep in her arms

when I awoke she was gone

I didn't even notice that something was wrong

I didn't even notice that my heart had been

Stolen

who is this thief in the night?

Steals my strength, robs my mind

she left me, a blind wanderer

with no words to speak or ponder

And I didn't notice anything was wrong

I didn't even notice that my heart had been

stolen

I will search the land and sea

To find this girl who stole from me

And when I do I'll tell her she

can keep that old heart of mine

Cause I didn't even notice anything was wrong

I didn't even notice that my heart had been

Stolen

My Dark Knight

2012-01-17T11:09:00.001-05:00

I will not give in,I will not retreat in fear,or fear that i do not understand,I will not leave any leaf unturned,I will remember who i am.

Death

2012-01-01T03:15:00.001-05:00

Death.

We rise from pain and suffering,

And return to ash and dust,

Leaving voids in the hearts of none or many,

Breaking and making bonds,

Having achieved too little or too much,

Bringing nothing along but our dying last breaths

Death.

Another solemn truth of life ...

Daiyanti's Wedding Reception Speech

2011-09-17T10:23:00.002-04:00

Yesterday, i was out without my jacket the whole day because i didn’t check the weather forecast. It was really cold. Same thing with this speech, i actually only knew yesterday i would be giving one.Never been good be with speeches but maybe, i thought maybe just this time it will be my chance to shine.

I guess there are a lot of things that i do in my life with very little preparation.By saying that, I don’t think any brother can be fully prepared emotionally for his sister’s wedding. Growing up i watched my sisters,girls growing up into women, and not fully comprehend the magnitude of what is going on only, till i look back in retrospect. Despite, all the fighting and the “trouble” she caused us, most importantly to me, she turned out pretty okay i would dare say. In a blink of an eye, she’s getting married to Tony and that kind of change is hard to get used to, i bet, especially for my parents. On the outside appa may seem tough but emotionally amma is by far the stronger one, if you don’t believe me look at him now he s probably tearing up.

As for Daiyanti,she has always been naggy, stubborn, annoying... i m just kidding....I would talk about Daiyanti’s better qualities as most people would do in weddings, but i think you all already know her well enough as a person. if i had to chose one word to describe my sister it would be, well i don’t know one word is not enough.

It’s with mixed emotions that i give this speech, being sad for not being able to be there due to time limitations. However, i am very happy for my sister for reaching this milestone in her life, in which i would like to wish her happiness and all the positive experiences of a marriage with her husband, Tony. May love nurture them, the way it did for us children in the Sundaralingam household. Also, i have not gotten the chance to interact much with Tony and his family but i would like to take this chance to welcome them as a new addition to our family, lets show them how it’s done alright. I m counting on you guys.

With respect for all the painfully experienced long speeches i have sat through and listen in my life, i have come to the ending of my speech for today, i hope you will all have a good time celebrating this union. Last but not least, to my beautiful parents and family,the whole lot of you, i just want to say i love you all and miss you dearly. Also, i am really thankful to everyone who helped with the wedding, my parents and i would like to give our deepest gratitude for this would not have been possible without you. See you soon.

which i think roughly translates as “to the newly weds,i wish you all the best”, as everyone knows my tamil is amazing.

Nothing

2011-08-26T13:06:00.002-04:00

Am I better off dead

Am I better off a quitter

They say I'm better off now

Than I ever was with her

As they take me to my local down the street

I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet

They say a few drinks will help you to forget her

But after one too many I know that I'm never

Only they can see where this is gonna end

But they all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense

And my mates are all there trying to calm me down

'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town

I'm swearing if i go there now

I can change your mind turn it all around

And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words

And she'll listen this time even though their slurred

Dialed her number and confess to her

I'm still in love but all i heard was nothing

So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences

I know if I'm face to face that she'll come to her senses

Every drunk step i take leads me to her door

If she sees how much I'm hurting

She'll take me back for sure

And my mates are all there trying to calm me down

'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town

I'm swearing if i go there now

I can change your mind turn it all around

And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words

And she'll listen this time even though their slurred

Dialed her number and confess to her

I'm still in love but all i heard was nothing

She said nothing

Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

Oh I got nothing

Nothing

I got nothing

Nothing

Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

Oh sometimes love is intoxicating

Oh you're coming down your hands are shaking

When you realise there's no one waiting

Am I better off dead

Am I better off a quitter

They say I'm better off now

Than I ever was with her

And my mates are all there trying to calm me down

'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town

I'm swearing if i go there now

I can change your mind turn it all around

And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words

And she'll listen this time even though their slurred

Dialed her number and confess to her

I'm still in love but all i heard was nothing

She said nothing

Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

Oh I got nothing

Nothing

I got nothing

Nothing

Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

Oh I got nothing

I got nothing

I don't wanna ...

Now and Then

2011-07-23T03:41:00.000-04:00

I m lonely... but i guess it's normal since i m not with anyone right now. Life is weird, you try to do things right but a lot of times it seem like it don't matter. But i guess i m gonna have to put up with it, since i do believe our actions make who we are.

I miss you, but i know i can't hold on cause it sure feels like you have nothing left for me and i m living in the past, a lie... it hurts, i m tired of loving without any reservation and getting hurt over and over again.

If i shared his enthusiasm in life, i would be unstoppable!!!

BERSIH 2.0 [9th July 2011]

Firstly, I'd like to thank my fellow Malaysians that did their part in voicing their rights. Just some random videos and articles on BERSIH.

What is BERSIH?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bersih

Peaceful? Obvious answer...

Unnecessary show of force and violation of human rights?

Some of the leaders of the movement

Last but not least...

First time i have felt my country has hope, or even called it my country...

All Fall Down

2011-01-13T10:28:00.001-05:00

Songs, just like poems and most kinds of art forms have infinite value due to perception and context.

This song reminds me of times when i get down, get beat when there is too much to handle and i fall and i m only left with the core of myself. That is when you realize what you need to do next, the only thing that is left. Getting up... and giving it another fight.

"All Fall Down"

Step out the door and it feels like rain

That's the sound (that's the sound) on your window pane

Take to the streets but you can't ignore

That's the sound (that's the sound) you're waiting for

If ever your world starts crashing down

Whenever your world starts crashing down

That's where you'll find me

Yeah God love your soul and your aching bones

Take a breath, take a step, meet me down below

Everyone's the same

our fingers to our toes

We just can't get it right

But we're on the road

If ever your world starts crashing down

Whenever your world starts crashing down

That's when you find me.

(Yeah) Lost till you're found

Swim till you drown

Know that we all fall down

Love till you hate

Strong till you break

Know that we all fall down

If ever your world starts crashing down

Whenever your world starts crashing down

If ever your world starts crashing down

That's when you'll find (find) me

Lost till you're found

Swim till you drown

Know that we all fall down

Love till you hate

Strong till you break

Know that we all fall down

All fall down, we all fall down, all fall down

We all fall down, all fall down, all fall down

Lost till you're found

Swim till you drown

Know that we all fall down

Love till you hate

Strong till you break

Know that we all fall down

The Snow Fairy is Back in ATL

2011-01-11T08:56:00.002-05:00

So yeah, back in ATL. I really think i m the snow fairy. Before i started studying at Tech. There was a snow "drought" for 5 years and not so long after that it started snowing every year. :P and kept getting worse.

Before flying out from singapore, i checked two days in advanced an it seemed the weather was fine. However, after actually reaching Paris and trying to get back ATL was a fright. LOL... flight got cancelled because of weather Air France didn't want their planes to be stucked in ATL. hahaha... luckily they bumped me up to an earlier flight. However, my baggage is probably having a vacation in Paris, as they didn't have time to load the plane with it. Anyways, i might get it back in a few days. :( Vivi's stuff for Sung is in it.

Now i m stuck in my room, without a car (which i shouldnt be driving anyways) with no groceries in my fridge. Just instant noodles and instant rice along with some canned vege to survive. Well not that bad, there are few restaurants nearby. Anyways, time to start getting productive. First step, lets play some games.LOL

Home

2010-12-19T19:12:00.000-05:00

Back home, woke up at 6 am like clock works, the time i normally wake up every day. However, it was easier to wake up cause the weather wasn't cold and dry, the way i like it. Nonetheless, waking up was a happy thing, cause i woke up in my hall at home. :) Slightly dazed, slight headache but a smile on the face and a thirsty appetite for re-remembering where i come from. I was a bit afraid yesterday i was starting to forget but as i took bites of food, i started remember things about places and people. Funny but food instead of music started showing me different times of my life.

It's good to be back home, missed my family. Got to meet all of them, my dad's side this time around. More little kids around, good to see them grow. Reminds me of the cycle of things.

Also worried about global warming btw.. LOL...thought i d throw that out there.

Anyways, plan to report in as often as i can on my blog as a record of my trip in Malaysia. :)

It's ironic they call it dead week, when its probably the busiest week in a semester anyways i m just finishing my project and term papers..then i need to study for my finals.

Listening to some christmas songs,i like the calm, cold but warm and cozy feeling it gives me :)

If this is the marathon, this is my last mile... i gotta finish.

On The Brink

2010-11-28T17:19:00.000-05:00

Of everything falling apart, my life seems like its falling apart. In some sense, i think i m to blame but really, it has been somewhat rough.. in grad school the semester load i took this semester is somewhat too much to handle for me but i guess we all learn from mistakes.

I gotta muck up and get stuff going, to stay another sem. Sigh, fight to the end, Vik's style... i forget sometimes who i am, and need help remembering.

To God i look for a miracle.

Hopeful,

Vik

My knee is better, which is good, gonna try playing soccer today for the MEGA intramural team. :) Had to wake up early to get the car towed today, silly me only wore me slippers (sandals for americans), and forgot that it was a cold morning.. noob.

So yeah... i think it s the fuel pump, but i guess we will see.

Got my first take home exam today, it is common in graduate school but it is my first semester. Hence my first time, weird feeling. I got 24 hours to complete and submit it, feels like i m carrying a time bomb around. LOL..
anyways best get started i suppose. :) To all the people out there doing exams , assignments and etc, good luck. Don't give up.

Fall Break 2010

2010-10-14T17:05:00.001-04:00

Not sure I will be doing anything special this fall break. No plans so far might get up and decide to do something fun over the weekend. But i really want to finish up as much work as i can and use this as time to catch up. :) This year's birthday was simple and i was happy. Thank you friends, family, and my beautiful girlfriend. Also, thank you God for helping me make it to 23.

I m truly grateful for whatever i have in life and don't. I wish everyone out there well. Got loads on my plate, right now i m just deciding on whether i should rest for awhile or just continue with work. All i do now, not that bad. I guess its a steep learning curve but i guess if you learning something then you are going the right direction, well some direction anyways.

The weather is just nice, the sun is shining a little shy, the leaves are playing that color game of theirs and the wind is as refreshing as it gets. Fall is finally here.

Mend the Broken

2010-10-11T00:16:00.000-04:00

I'm not perfect and i don't know a lot of the things i need to know but i m not gonna stop trying. I m gonna fix my knee somehow, and if my knee cannot be fixed, i ll fix the way i walk. I will find a way. Giving up is the easy way out.

And to "un"-constipate this post:

2010-10-01T01:43:00.001-04:00

Lol, have i told you about fun Sarah? well she is my mum's sister's daughter and she s currently teaching middle school i think. She teaches maths and science. For her maths questions she generally uses names of people that she knows. Here's my question and here's what her student replied >_<" ROFL

2010-09-30T11:06:00.000-04:00

It's been a bit of a rough week for me, didn't do so well in one of my tests :S but yeah, not giving up just yet. It's gonna be hard but i guess a lot of things are not easy. I probably got one of the lowest scores in class for this test. The sad thing it wasnt a hard test, i kinda freaked out. lol... i notice a trend always mess up at the beginning of the sem and have to work harder throughout the rest of them to pull up my grades. Hopefully i can pull it off.

Also, i have been sitting in front of the com for too long lately.. its like thats all i do, work on the com, which is annoying... >_<" Anyways, the weekend is almost here... my knee needs a fix, lets see how it works through some tests i m gonna put it through.

2010-09-17T15:40:00.001-04:00

If you could, what superpowers would you want to have?

Well one thing's for sure, don't pick the superpowers of the grad student. One thing grad school does to somebody is load them up with work, till they forget how to become human... i m slowly, starting to feel the pinch.

Time to play soccer with fever, its been awhile since i done that wonder what it will feel like... hmmm

Being Sick

2010-09-16T16:39:00.000-04:00

I probably get sick once a semester, nowadays. I m guessing maybe thats why i didn't know i was sick today. I was sluggish and tired... even till 1 pm... and i went to class where the AC is so supercold, like being on a winter day walking out in the cold and realized my body is burning hot.

So who doesn't know that they are falling sick, i guess this time around i didn't. Sore throat, and Fever... right now...anyways gotta get back to work. No break for me, not yet at least

Anger is a short madness

2010-09-14T10:45:00.000-04:00

Sitting here in library trying to do a literature review in the area i m trying to do my research,trying to see what can be contributed but this is pissing me off. Not finding anything useful and its already been an hour. Maybe i m ticked off about something else? i don't know but can't care less... just too much work in so little time. How on earth does someone manage this.

Who eats dinner at 5.35 pm?

2010-09-13T17:45:00.000-04:00

Hmm... not sure,but i sure am right now.. LOL.

Just got back from work, got quite a bit to do. Nothing new,but i m pretty gung-ho about starting early this time around. I kinda struggled the last time, when i did last minute work. Grad school is a different ball game.I mean its fine with classes alone but if you have research going on. It can be pretty hardcore. I m sure you graduate research assistants know what i m talking about.

Anyways,on a different topic. One of my 1st cousins got married :) Mithra, she looked really pretty hehe.. :) sigh.. although the thought of me not being able to be back home during the wedding does make me feel sad. Do miss them, mi familia... just the simple hanging out and playing around. Everyone has changed quite a bit i didnt even recognized one of nieces in pics... so cute.. Also, to note,all the girls are looking really pretty grown up :). Shalenee says its the palaniandy gene, dyi said i got it too. Did she mean i m pretty too? :P

Just borrowed my physics book to Zean, and almost done with dinner. Got to get back to work soon.

hehe... coolio... gtg now..

Not Long Enough?

I m Still At The Library

2010-09-08T01:08:00.002-04:00

So are you laughing at me or with me?

Are they laughing “at or with me”
Ah baby those are such great shoes
And I think that I’m so happy now
And I think this is a better you

Anarchy

2010-09-02T00:24:00.000-04:00

"Peace is the ability to understand the value of other individuals" - Vik Sun

Just the whole nature of war, violence, hate,racism and the things wrong with this world... I am writing a song about it. Trying to capture some side of this. So tired...i should be sleeping,been a long day.

If you only

Follow the fundamentals of what you see

You would cease to understand

The truth isn't what it appears to be

From within, belief is the enemy

The cause of the anarchy

Surrounding the very foundation of life

You better believe that

Because belief is the enemy

when differences are sought to destroy

Anarchy,

You make me see,

You are the very cause of my disbelief

Defining everything i see

I met the three blind man,

and they told me what they thought

of the elephant across street

I hear people talking

It's impossible to believe,

that they're actually thinking

Anarchy,

You make me see,

You are the very cause of my disbelief

Defining everything i see [2X]

If peace is what you sow,

Then Peace is the ability

to see what a person is really worth

but sadly,

Anarchy,

You make me see,

You are the very cause of my disbelief

Defining everything i see [2x]

2010-08-30T17:35:00.000-04:00

The Music Listening Room (MLR) just got combined with Under The Couch (Performing Grounds for Students and Musicians), It's pretty cool actually. :) Me likes the setup. Heard this band today, there when i was taking a 10 min nap after trying really hard to study but didnt get anywhere with that.

The Sound of Sunshine

2010-08-24T08:19:00.000-04:00

Ever wonder what song would be best played when visiting the sun? :P

The first day of university was interesting. The new intake is a lot larger and there are lot more girls. The lack of familiar faces suggest i should get out of school soon. Anyways, the first day was good. Now the second day!!! LOL... anyways, i think i m gonna start setting gigs up and then plan to play at eddies attic, ATL sometime in spring if i manage to hone my talent to the level required. Google eddies attic if you don't know what it is.

Making Decisions

2010-08-21T07:51:00.000-04:00

It's a new semester again, and I have a degree. Doesn't really feel very comforting but i guess it's just cause i m thinking of jobs. It's back to Grad School for me. I m a little bit nervous, a little bit excited. Not too much emotion, not surprise given the fact, my head is here my heart isn't. Anyways, this post wasn't really supposed to be a sad post but somewhat a good reflective one.

The reality is that the same crossroads I thought I had worked out when i was 21 is back to challenge the workings of my mind. Ironic, cause back then i thought those were gonna be one of the hardest decisions to make but now i can clearly see the decisions i make and the actions i take are only gonna get harder, as the stakes get bigger.

Yesterday, I was talking to a friend that was a friend of mind through strange circumstances, through well through some of my worse decisions. I guess sometimes there is a clear silver lining even when you mess up. Even more so, after what she managed to make me see and understand a fight within me. I always knew i wasn't alone but I never really had another honest perspective, she shared her experience for my understanding. Kudos to her for that. Let's just say that what i figured out was that, sometimes we are all afraid of making decisions, especially when it comes to big ones,and when in twos we might not budge trying to be rational all the time and trying to protect our interests are logically. The thing is happiness isn't very logical, a lot of times we have a lot of "what-if"s, some in form of regret others in form of reinforcing retrospect. You have got to fight for you what you believe in, if it's something you feel that you have your heart and soul in. Regardless of how logical or rational it could be. Realizing that this statement is already rationalizing makes it a tad bit ironic, dontcha think?

The bottom line is that, sometimes what's worse than doing something "counter logical" is the fact that is not very logical to leave some important facets of your life undefined by action when you could have regardless of the outcome. The means of an end, juxtaposed to the ends of mean is not always a clear comparison for many.In other words, the few important advices people close to me have given me, "Do the best you can given the circumstances you are in" has gained some new perspective.

Perhaps this is why the 600 men marched into the valley of death : The Charge of the Light Brigade

Imogen Heap @ Tabernacle

Just when I thought, my weekends are messed up cause they are starting to feel like just any other day, I get a message from Stephannie saying she is opening for Imogen Heap when I was at walmart getting my groceries like a depressed ******. So what else would i do, pounce on the first opportunity not to do work for today at least.

When i was buying the ticket i initially thought it was for tomorrow, sent a text to Steph, and she was like no its today >_<"... so yeah gotta get ready. =) Need a crash course in her songs. I have only heard a few. So I m like a virgin fan or something.

2010-06-02T12:39:00.000-04:00

My Arcadia

2010-05-24T10:43:00.000-04:00

The first week of the semester just finished, and I woke up in the morning, 6 to send Wen Eu to the airport, it feels like I have my a$$ handed to me already right now. I lost my thumbdrive too. Sigh... i don't want to spend more money on buying thumbdrives, i have already lost it once.

Anyways, gotta look forward...

As for bands, in tribute to new artistes, i will post a new band every day till the day I finally put my album up for downloads and the band for today is My Arcadia. Enjoy!

Into the Pool

2010-05-13T13:14:00.000-04:00

Finally got back into some sort of exercise, did 1 km in 35 minutes. The training for the half-marathon apparently did something to me physically although I did not manage to get ready for it but I managed to knock off like maybe 15 minutes. Also, without feeling much of anything afterwards besides my ears feeling like they have been stuffed with cotton candy. Now I have feeling I won't be eating cotton candy for quite sometime after visualizing that.

Still torn between what research to do. I want to get it resolved soon.

Someone help me, I need a ear. :(

Happiness

2010-05-04T13:55:00.004-04:00

For many there is a tendency to label anything from ideas to people. Scientists say it’s a way we automate the decision-making process into somewhat a more efficient manner; to recognize friend from foe. This is not the reason I am writing this. My attempt is purely to capture what brings happiness to me. I got inspired after watching “Into The Wild”. A story where this young man with a promising future he decides to donate his college fund to the needy and burns all his money after leaving everything in his life behind. He was running from a lot of things, mostly just society’s lies and hypocrisies that manifested its’ self mostly in his parents 's relationship. But the thing main that kept him going wasn’t fear but just the core of the human soul that lives on new experiences. I could go on and explain to you what happened in the movie but I think it’s best you watch it yourself. I think his end summarized the message that he learned from his journey. Throughout the movie he seemed to believe that happiness is not tied to just your relationships with other people. In his last moments, in Alaska out in the wild in a “magic” bus, he differs with a sentence written in probably one of his Jack London books. “Happiness is only real when it is shared”. He died from eating a poisonous plant. This is a true story, Chris McCandless set out to find what he was looking for I think he did find it. Sometimes, after watching some movies I feel like my footing on some issues have been challenge and like Chris said: the need to feel strong is sometimes more important than to actually be strong, to measure himself/herself at least once.

So what exactly is happiness to you? Is it your career? Is it money? Is it even tangible? I don’t know. If you want a definitive answer, that is mine.

I do feel happy making other people happy. Even strangers, one of the reasons why I like playing music, not only am I making myself happy but maybe if I do it right I can help some other people find what I feel in the music I play. I try to do this in a more material world, it is a lot harder, but I do feel some content in doing so but this doesn’t feel like I have put my finger down in the right place.

Could it be being with my loved ones? This is true. I’d love to occasionally spend time with them whenever I want to. Just knowing they are doing well, means a lot I am sure many of you understand this. This also only seems like one half of the picture. So what is the other half? I feel lost but there is this side of me that reeks of excitement to thought of exploring the unknown. Another thing I know for sure I share the excitement of taking things apart not necessarily putting them back together after that even as a child just to understand the inner workings of things for the sole purpose of fulfilling my curiosity; very much like hunger.

Living beings have desires or even sometimes just need to have desires; I guess when you fulfill those desires you will be happy. Conflict of needs and desires often cause a lot of gray areas. “Boredom: the desire for desires.” Leo Tolstoy. Find it and grab it, if you believe in God, like I do. I think God is in everything you do. So do what you feel is right. I will understand.

My actions; I realized, me missing somebody is actually an act of happiness. Just being grateful to have known you or for you have made an impact in my life that I have been a better person after words. I miss a lot of people very often. Sometimes the people I have just met, some more deeply and more abstract in many layers but I know this it’s my way of saying I’m glad to know you and I wish you well. Maybe someday I d get the chance to share the happiness in your life.

“A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog.” – Jack London

Thank you for the charity.

Sock the Hock

2010-04-29T20:05:00.002-04:00

Did laundry today, as well my servicing my car. Yes it has finally sunk in, I have a car. Haha, funny? Yeah I know, thanks. Anyways, found some of my socks torn so i decided to get new ones, and figured i wont get rid of it so i figured out some ways to reuse it. Hopefully i don't gross people out in the process. I do live with other people. Please note that the title isn't what i plan to do with it.

Here are a few things I could do with my old socks:

1. ~~Sock puppets for kids of course~~ (eww... yeah i know)
2. Bottle Insulator - Make a sock to keep it warm/cool. (still eww right? i don't think i use it but will try it out)
3. Wrist rest
4. Bon fire.... :P
5. The whole thrash it option.

Also an important highlight of the day is when I managed to almost take myself out. Was helping Nic to get his laundry at the laundromat so that he doesn't have to waste his time waiting. One person is enough to do that :), I got his laundry bag and tried to throw it into the car from the drivers seat to the passenger's seat and it's netted area caught hold of my chain(which by the way says Aum in Tamil). Next, well I got my forehead slammed into the car frame. That gave me quite a daze. We are a danger to ourselves sometimes.

Peace,

I made a phone call when I was sleeping last night, I don't remember fully what I said, was not feeling to well. Hopefully I didn't say anything too naughty. ;)

Tiny Smiles

2010-04-27T23:53:00.000-04:00

As my pants tore today, my feet start to hurt again,i m falling sick: fever,sore throat and i don't have one of the most important parts of my life with me... Deep down i just hanging on to the tiny smiles, that anyone has kindly given me. I feel like I wanna close my eyes and dream about living on a small house on a red heart shaped planet and when i wake up, wake up in that house.

Time to the end of the world,

Goodbye Mr.Jerry Rape

2010-04-18T22:01:00.001-04:00

May you rest in peace.

Mr.Jerry Rape was someone who i worked with, a lab technician. This guy somewhere in his late 50s early 60s. Very nice quite guy, never really understood what he said fully. He had this deep voice, and didn't pronounce words quite clearly, well to an immigrant like me at least. It is my third rotation here with GE Roper, and I have required his assistance a lot of times, along with the other people who work at the evaluation lab.

I must admit over the entire year that i have worked here, i barely got the chance to really know him. Just the normal small talk, but i just want to say Thank You Mr. Jerry Rape for being a good person. It was sad to see you go, come to work and get a surprise like that knowing that i was supposed to work on something with you that morning. Then seeing the true nature of death, on how everything just goes on, you might be elsewhere but what you have shared with me, your good nature, I won't forget.

Thank you,

Vik

Altered Perceptions

2010-04-13T21:44:00.000-04:00

Ran at the battlefield parkway today, it was good really pretty place. It is a preserved park in memory to the people who fought the civil war there. Lot's of monuments, statues and trails. Got some deers,owls and etc.

Suddenly, running the half marathon in 1 1/2 weeks doesn't seem like a good idea. Ran 7 miles today, it feels good but another 6 miles? :( am running like 5 mph, such a bad time...embarrassing wished i trained harder. Ran like two miles only cumulative last week LOL..

Sigh...we'll see how it goes, have to drive like 4 hours to the venue too. :( Gotta get my mind ready somehow. Cause if that gives. Bye bye Marathon

The Right Side Up

2010-04-12T19:49:00.001-04:00

Yup, I finally decided what to call my first album, "The Right Side Up", maybe in another post i will explain what it means but for now.

Current event's don't concur with the album title, I apparently bought some music from apples itunes store and bought something for an infant somewhere in the US LOL... must have did that while i was sleeping or something cause i don't remember having a kid or an iPod. Maybe someone got pampers for their iPod.

The pollen is messing my throat up, i hope it doesn't become a serious allergy. I have no replies from the grad school yet. So how can it be the right side up? I don't know... and I said I will explain in a different post. I do know something ;)..

Here's the link to where the album can be downloaded, a website with other information too. Note, it is still under construction :)

www.wix.com/vikneshan/The-Right-Side-Up

Will start uploading the songs as soon, as i decide what the final list should be. I wanna get this done as soon as possible :) It's been awhile.

Dream Catch Me
