Obstetric and Gynaecology posting

Hey guys,

Currently I'm in 3rd year OnG posting. It has it's ups and downs.

The first time I went to hospital it was so scary, I constantly think, what if I hurt someone, what if I prescribe the wrong drugs, what if I screw up? I mean I'm dealing with someone's life, for life's sake. 

And then the first day I went into the labour room... I was traumatized. What ever they said it was being magical and anything.. I found out on that later. That day was just too gruesome because the doctor was the least gentle. Buh-looood everywhere. 

But then, when the baby was out, they let her hold him for a little while and I saw the smile, the way her eyes light up. Wahhh magical indeed. I was changed.

Then come the palpating baby in the stomach class. Scary. I had to pressed here and there. Am I hurting you? I kept on asking her. I felt the head floating around like a ballon, magical. 

That one time I felt a baby kicked. Senyum panjang lebar. 

I walked into the wards. Babies on my left. Babies on my right. I wanted to just scoop them up.. *self-control* 

However, my posting is ending soon. *sad face*. Next week I'm having examination. Nervous-worried combo. 

12/12/13

Hello guys!

Today is a special day. 

Do you know that it is the birth date of a very famous icon in India and quite possibly the world? 

Yep.

For those of you who didn't know him, let me introduce you the awesomeness I grew up watching.

Rajnikanth!

Try getting a ticket on the first 30 day in India, you'll know how large of a fan base he has.

His movies are always so inspiring, it's just too awesome

Punch line after punch line.

Most of the time the punch line is the important etiquette we ought to know. 

I know. I know. Lately his movies are kinda eyebrow raising.

Especially Enthiran and Sivaji the boss. But the awesome quality are still there it's just that these days the film makers are trying to potray sexiness so much. And sometimes you just go laugh out loud at the ridiculousness but somehow it's okay because it's him. 

You can ask me to sit and watch his old movies over and over again, I'll still watch it.

Among my favorites are Padaiyappa, Muthu, Annamalai and Basha. 

I'll list list few of his famous punch lines soon. Not tonight because I'm dead tired. Zzzzzzzz...

Updated : 

1) Naan oru thadava sonna nooru thadava sonna madhiri - Basha

When I said it once, it's like I have said a hundred times. 

2) Andha aandavan sollaraan, indha Arunachalam mudikkaraan - Arunachalam

What the God has dictate, this Arunachalam will do it. 

3) Malai da AnnaMalai. Naan sollaradhayum seyven, solladhadeyum seyven - Annamalai

All praise to Annamalai (their God's name). I'll do what I told you, I'll also do what I didn't tell. 

4) Kedaikkaradhu kedaikkaama irukkaadhu. Kedaikkaama irukkaradhu kedaikkaadhu - Muthu

What is suppose to be yours you will get. What isn't suppose to be your you won't get.

5) Padaiyappa

My way is the ultimate way. Don't cross me.

6) Padaiyappa

Anger is the cause of all miseries. One should know how to control it. Otherwise, one's life would be miserable. 

7) Padaiyappa

Padaiyappa's friend : But the government is with them.

Padaiyappa : just go. God is with us. 

8) Yen ippadi ellathukkum kova padareenga

Pombalai na.. porumai venum - kovapada koodadhu
adakkam venum - avasarapada koodadhu
Amaidhi venum - Aathirapada koodadhu
Kattupadu venum - Ippadi katha koodadhu
Bayabhakthi ya irukkanum - Bajarithanam panna koodadhu

Mothathula - pombala, pombalaiya irukkanum. - Padaiyappa 

Why are you upset over little things?

A woman, must be patient - can't be angry

Must well behave - don't rush into things

Must be calm - don't hassle..

Must be cultural - can't shout like this

Must be pious- don't be a woman of trouble

Above all, a woman, must act like a woman.

Phewww.. That was a tough translation. 

End of Flash back. 

I enjoyed Padaiyappa best. Hence, the overflowing of movie quotes from Padaiyappa. 

Oh by the way it is also the birthday of Big Bang's Seungri. 

Cute maknae no?

Green Tea

When it's near to the exams, times like these will come often.

Time of distractions. 

Times where my creativity will flow. 

Time where I can continue my long-abandon written novel.

But today I'm going to share about green tea.

Those who loves green tea put your hands up in the air, and wave like you just don't care.

 I've picked up this love for green tea right around the end of my 2nd year. 

My mom's future son-in-law, my sister's future better half, my future brother-in-law, my future pow money place, bought my mom green tea from Egypt. Lots of 'em. Some satchet form, and plenty in leaves form.

My mom wasn't very fond of them.

So I gave it a try that one night. 

My oh my, do I fell in love on the first taste?

Ever since, I've been taking it 2-3 times daily.

Sometime I came back from a long day, a cup of green tea is there to calm me down.

Anyway, the first green tea I tried on is 

These are absolute amazing. I actually kept extra sachet just in case for one of those gloomy days, but my mom kept on promoting them because I kept on saying how much I love it. From 10 extra satchet now I'm left with only 1. Bit budget-teaser.

Then I tried on this. I was slightly disappointed because the first impression was too good, this one fell short. It doesn't taste much different from the normal tea but I guess it's just me. But point is it's still green tea and now I can enjoy normal tea without sugar.

I move over to this next one after the previous finishes and this time it is slightly better from the previous one but still no match to the first one. And the tea doesn't come out green like in the picture.

Then I move on to this leaves which I have no idea what brand it is because he brought it in a plastic without the box. But it's awesome because all the authentic taste is still there. Now that I start enjoying green tea, my younger sister is too. So whenever we want to drink together, we just brew these.

However, brewing tea takes time. So I looked for a budget friendly green tea sachet and came to find this brand. Weirdly, the taste is ALMOST the same to my first love, however, less intensity and with a hint of ginger taste. 

GINGER? I know right? I swear I could taste it even though my mom don't seem to taste it.

For some of you who don't have the team to make one, grab a green tea in a bottle or can. Those are sweetened but at least you're stepping a step closer to the dark I mean green side. 

My personal favorite is

                            Awesome!

So why do I seem to fond so much of green tea?

Researches had it that, 

Lots more on benefits of green tea you can read up online. 

So I'm still on the quest to find the best green tea out there. If y'all know any good ones, do share.

 

Hello, December

Hey December.

It felt like it's just yesterday the year started and now it's already the end of the year.

Out of all the months in a year, December has always been my favorite. 

Duh. When we were kids, December equals to holidays. 

But also for a whole other reason which could be quite obvious to some who knows me well.

In western countries, December equals to Christams, equals to happiness. Which sounds pretty good to me. To me, December is a month where I want to be happy everyday. 

To me, 

December just feels awesome. I practically wanna high five all those who were born on December.

It's like, "Hey which month were you born in?" 

"December,"

"Oh really, grats to you. Wohooo. High five!" 

Hehe.

Anyway, today we started it with a bomb. 

We ate Nasi Ambeng in a 'dulang'. Apparently, it's a traditional food from Javanese which they always ate in functions. 

It felt, close. I missed these moments. 

I want more of these moments in my future if that's not too much to ask for.

This month, I have a wish.

Dear you, please find me soon. 

You will be missed..

This morning I woke up groggily. I haven't been sleeping well for the past two days. It's like my heart is not settled. I should've known it was a sign. 

After bathing and praying, I went to my mom's room to kiss her before I left for school. My mother and my sister who was wide awake stared at me emptily. Then my sister said, 

"Na, Remo is dead,"

Such a short line but a powerful impact. I fell beside the bed, asking her to repeat. They just stared at me again quietly.

I should've seen it coming. He has been sick for the past few days. I told my father just the other day but I guess it was too late. 

Yesterday we crowded beside you, talking to you, teasing you. You tried to open your mouth but nothing came out. I know the way your neck stretches when you're about to say something but this time nothing came out. 

"He fell and now he's as hard as a rock,"

My brother who just woke up was being ushered quickly to the bathroom like a robot, he barely had time to react. But once he's finished dressed, he sat on the bed crying in my sister's arm. 

I started crying. Remo has been a friend. More than that. He has been like a family. Always there when you needed to talk to him. Always answering your calls. Talking to you no matter when you're down or happy. And now he's just gone. 

I walked slowly towards downstairs. My brother tugs on my hand. Probably he's feeling it too. The cold. I just stood at the door, peeking inside to his place. It is true then. He's really gone. While I was bathing earlier, I was imagining sitting down, talking to him, asking why has he not been eating properly. Not talking. But I guess now its just too late. 

Dear Remo, 

I know in a million years you will never hear this words. But I hope you were happy when you were with us. Thank you for lighting up my day when I'm down and responding happily whenever I'm chirpy. I'm sorry I haven't been spending too much time with you, didn't make more time for you. Just know that in my heart you're a part of the family. It is so sad to see you go. You were an amazing companion. We could just sit quietly and still not feel lonely. Now the place will be empty. I don't think anyone can replace you. But I'm glad your suffering has ended. 

Bye my friend. 

I love you. 

We drove in silence to school. I had to get Syamir out of the house to settle everything. He just sat there staring out of the window. 

"Are you okay?"

"Yes."

"What you're thinking about?"

"Just Remo."

After a long pause, he said, "I'm gonna miss him,"

"I know baby but at least we know he's not suffering anymore."

"I know." 

Then he continues staring out the window.

When I dropped him at the school, he was still quiet. I tried distracting him, but he was just upset.

I waited till the teacher came.

"Teacher, our pet just died this morning. Could you please watch for Syamir today? When I left him, he was so quiet. I don't know how he's dealing with it. And if he couldn't concentrate or starts crying can you just call us?"

"Oh no. May I know what pet it is?"

"It's a bird,"

"Okay don't worry about it. I'll talk to him and make sure he's alright,"

"Thank you teacher so much.

Yes. Thank you teacher for not thinking this is a light matter and just dismiss it like that. 

Thank you Remo for the good times we had. I'll miss you despite being terrified to hold you. But we talked. And a lot of times I actually felt better talking to you. But what can I do? I didn't understand when you were telling me something. 

Have a safe journey.

                                   That time I gave you a shower and dried you up.

WIN : Who is Next?

WHO IS NEXT!!!! 

소리 지르!!

I started watching this show only after the whole thing was over. After I've know who the Winner was. I couldn't help it. People on my timeline kept going on and on about it I just have to watch 'em. And I have the slightest regret I didn't watch it when it was on air. 

And I'm thankful I did. I felt attached to them just after 10 episodes. Now I know the feeling of the fandom who has been with their idols ever since they debuted. 

Honestly, I've just come to know about CNBlue and BigBang long after they debuted so I can't really call myself their ultimate fan ever. I haven't been with them thru their best and worst. 

Now let's get back to the task. 

Initially Papa YG had said he's planning to debut new girl group late this year. However, being YG and confusing, suddenly it is decided they will debut boy group first following the survival program. PSY had it right when he said it is going to be cruel. But little did I know YG was going to cry. Haha.

Papa YG had two teams prepared for debut. So his plan was to let both of the team to compete and the viewer's choice will debut under the name WINNER and carry the torch of YG frontline for the next 8 years just like BigBang did for the last 8 years. So I started knowing who's going to win and it was a pity. I could have anticipate like the rest of the world did but now I get to know the result with a pain in my heart.

Oh god. It was seriously a good show. It portrays how good YG trainees are. I'm all Team A because I came to know Lee Seung Hoon from KPOP Star and just couldn't help but root for him. Suddenly, ever since from episode 1, I find myself rooting for Team B as a whole. I mean I could tell each and everyone in Team A names ; Kang Seung Yoon, Kim Jin Woo, Nam Tae Hyun, Lee Seung Hoon, Song Min Ho - and I still confuse with some of the Team B, but their teamworks are seriously, as the Korean put it, 장날 아니야 (no kidding). 

Team B won the first assessment, judged by Papa YG. It was seriously cool of the trainees to come up with everything on their own. My whole misconception of trainee in Korea was changed. I've always thought they are being chosen purely based on their looks, train them and poof debut them. I don't know if it was YG strenuous training but these guys are seriously good. They can compose, choreograph, do songs arrangement and write lyrics all on their own. That's what I call a true artist. 

By the second assessment I still couldn't brain how come Team A won because Team B was just better and you couldn't help but fall for Hanbin B.I's talent and leadership and Bobby's charm, and Jin Hwan's eye smile. In the earlier episode, I just thought Team B vocal was much better, dancing was much synncronize and well choreographed, and their teamworks were amazing. Apparently, the YG people agrees with these points and with 15 to 10, Team B won again. However, I still am rooting for Team A thru this whole process. Yeah, call me uncertain. I fall for one group and can't help but feel the same for the other. 

In one episode, they had a battle between JYP trainees and YG trainees. JYP got some skills in the house but I think vocal wise I'll fall back to YG goons. However, uri Jin Woo kinda messed up the lyrics bit. 

Then on their third assessment, each team received TaeYang and G-Dragon as their producer. This is quite a combo because as a trainee Tae Yang had never lost against G-Dragon but this time it is proven otherwise. However, this is when the voting started, and they found that the viewers doesn't agree with Papa YG and Team A won just by a small margin. 

We fell in love again with their back ground stories. Bobby with his family away living in America, B.I being his family hope, he has been doing this since he was a kid, Jin Woo, had left his hometown and never saw his father for the past three years, who is a captain on a boat, always away on the sea. Dong Hyuk visiting his passed father. Crying guys means sensitive guys not wimps. I absolutely love these boys. I just love hard working people and inspire to be like them no matter what field they're in. I just wanna be by their side and say to them, "You're doing a great job," 

Anyway, the second battle, they had to make a new song and dance battle and perform a given song with their twist. 

Team A performed : 

1) Officially Missing You - Original Singer : Tamia

2) Dance battle

3) Smile Again : composed by Kang Seung Yoon

Team B performed : 

1) Baby - Original Singer : Justin Bieber

2) Dance battle

3) Winnin' : composed by B.I, Bobby, Kim Jin Hwan

I gotta admit, this is when I finally see why is Team A winning. They just got the aura. I couldn't get the song Smile Again out of my head till today. 

Nam Tae Hyun parts just gets to me. 

But then I still couldn't get HanBin's 눈빛 out of my head. *confuse* 

Anyway, dancing wise I think Team B is still great. However, composing wise I think Smile Again was a jackpot. 

This time, Team A won the judges approval and again nabbed viewers' votes. By now Team B, who felt slightly ahead, is feeling the pressure. Team A started to understand their mentor's TaeYang advice what it meant when you enjoy yourself on the stage, the audience will feel it too. 

While preparing for the final battle, this time they were given the task to give colors to Teddy's arrangement Just Another Boy, dance battle and finally another self-written, composed song. 

In Team A, three of them started writing immediately ; Kang Seung Yoon, Song Min Ho and Nam Tae Hyun. Surely, these trainees are talented. However, in the end, again Kang Seung Yoon's was chosen. Team B had Bobby and B.I putting their heads together and came up with a song. After being rejected few times, they finally got it right. 

And I tell you they got it right. 

Team A's rendition of Just Another Boy was about them achieving their dream, hoping all 11 of them are able to stand on the stage together one day, while Team B was more heart touching, about being single and everything. I feel ya brother.

The dance battle were good, message is conveyed. They want this badly. I actually like Team A's better despite the Team B's over flooding with masculinity, t-shirt shredding and everything.

Lastly, the original song. Both team were good. Team A's Go Up was catchy, I liked it immediately.  

But there's something about Climax.. just made me cry. I couldn't help it. From the beginning of the song till the end of the show I didn't stop crying. Not even for a minute. Heeee. From the beginning when Bobby started rapping, I could tell he was sincere, it was about his mom. First heart-shot. Then chorus. The minute B.I walked to the front stage, bam! stage light focus mainly on him, second heart-shot. Omg omg omg. I still remember how he scream Who Is Next???! I totally felt the emotions. It was overflowing and overwhelming. It was a truly beautiful stage. The lyric 'Even if this is the last time we stand on the stage' .... I just couldn't. Even Papa YG couldn't say much. The whole audience was in tears. He's gonna make a great artist some day. He's already is. 

By now, everybody was crying. This moment I started feeling slightly bad. I know Team B deserve to win so much more, but fate is siding Team A. Hell even Team A thinks they deserve it, but viewer's choice. I kinda still hoping Papa YG have a change of heart and debut all 11 of them on one stage. WINNER. However, I'm not sure if that will be the right choice. Because will all 11 colors shine if they're together. In smaller group, they can be noticed but in larger group, there's just too little part for each person and I'm not sure if that's fair for them. Maybe Papa YG can debut both team soon, not delaying Team B's debut that much longer. I mean they already have a great fan base. 

Aigoo Papa YG you do the thinking. I just think I'll miss the boys if they debut late. 

Hehe. Anyway, I just want to share the newly develop love I felt for the boys. Since Team A is gonna debut as WINNER soon, let's support them with sincere heart and hope they will be riding the Hallyu Wave and be the next global star. 

Plus, thank you to Seungri for kneeling down to Papa YG asking to debut all of them. ^_~V 

WINNER fighting! Team B fighting! Kim Jin Woo fighting!

Hahaha isn't it obvious who I'm biasing? 

Rain

Hi guys. Before you get all excited, no this post is not about Bi Rain, the popular Kpop legend. Instead I wanna share about my love for the falling water from the sky. Haha.

Anyway, I'm just curious, how do you guys perceive rain?

Annoyed? - "Oh no not rain again"

Neutral? - "Rain again? Mehhh let's just stay in today"

Ecstatic - "Rain?? Hoorraaayyy!" *proceeds to disappear and can only be found in the middle of the rain*

Well if you're in the third group, we're in the same wavelength buddy! I simply love the rain, the smell after the rain... *Sigh*

When I was in Egypt, I had a longing for rain so badly..

That one winter night, it actually rained. I couldn't quite describe the feeling but it was magical. I texted my sister who was in Cairo, because it was too early in the morning in Malaysia to bother my mom with the most important question of all time.

'Can I go out to play in the rain?'

She replied, 'If you must,'

I had a blast. The road in front of our building is facing another building so it's quite a small road.

No sign of people around. My friend and I got out by walking slowly to check the coast, and started dancing in the rain. 

Have I said it was magical? 

Our two housemates were shaking their heads at us being silly but it was what I missed the most. 

Even though if it was just for a good 10 minutes.

Then on my birthday, it rains again. Winter = rains. But this time it was raining stones. Literally. Well not literally. It was raining ice. It had a different effect. Not as romantic as the water rain. Haha. 

When it rains, you can find me standing close to the rain, my hands outstretched feeling the raindrops on my fingers. *happy* 

Let's list down some songs that has rain in it, shall we?

1) It's Raining Men - The Weather Girls

Hahaha you guys just have to watch the MV it's awesome! Hihihi..

2) Teardrops in the Rain - CN Blue

I gotta put in this one.. One of my favourite of theirs.. Sorrow but beautiful..

3) Let it rain - Anthony Evans

I don't know, but this songs just kinda give me hope.. Does it do that to you?

4) Purple Rain - Prince

I never heard of this one till I googled it.. And I don't find anything charming about rain being purple in color.. Anyone gets it?

5) A Year Without Rain - Selena Gomez

One of the new songs i love to ballad to sometimes.. 

6) Rain - Beatles

Can you guys believe how big these guys were back in the days.. I bet bigger than 1D.. 

7) November Rain - Gun N' Roses

It's a heavy one this one. The MV, the lyrics, the meanings.. Go and google it.. 

8) Only You - Cee Lo Green

Now this is the only song that doesn't have rain in the title but I happened to listen to this song today while driving and I love this part 'Only you can make me smile in the pouring rain' or something like that.. Luls..

Anyway, I'm sure there are tones of 'Rain' songs I forgot to include, but right now these re what I find when I googled and came across my mind.. Will be update if I happen t remember any later..

Next time I'll write about the movie scene in the rain that I love.. Hehehe *naughty laugh* 

Now I wish it rains in this middle of the night..

She gives me so much pain..

Hahahahahah while writing this post I'm laughing like crazy.

No I'm not crazy.

Let me tell you what happened. 

So today we went to get immunization jab for my lil' brother Syamir. He's a bit lot sensitive when it comes to things with needles. So we didn't tell him anything and just went to see the doctor. Inside the doctors room, he observant as he is noticed the nurse starting to prep the immunization stuff. We started by telling the doc about the dry skin at the corner of his mouth. You know harmless stuff. 

Just then the doc asked him to roll up his sleeves and proceed to clean the part with alcohol swab. Which triggers it. He started wailing. Dramatically. We made him lie on the bed and try to soothe him but in vain. 

Then we had to hold him. One person holding his head and shoulder, the other his body and arms, and me his legs. While holding him, I pray silently to Allah let it be quick and painless.. And tadaaa it's done. 

He stopped crying and we thought that was that. So while we were in the car on the way home, we were listening to BTOB's Insane. Then suddenly, Syamir sings along loudly, 

'She make me go insane,

She gives me so much pain,

I won't be back again!'

Yea! She gave me a lot of pain! Huh!

Hahahaha sumpah lawak. The mood was lifted immediately. And now my baby brother is vaccinated and will continue be healthy. Yeahhh!

Finally Clinical Year!

Guys I'm finally in the clinical.

Why did I used the word finally? Here let me tell you a lil bit bout my journey so far. After SPM, I got offered from JayPeeEh (misspell just for the sake it's not google-able) I learn a new trick from blog reading I've been doing past two-three weeks. Anywho, they offered me scholarship to continue my studies into Medicine in Indonesia. So I did my A-level in KayTeeTee, somewhere in Sepang for a whole year. Unfortunately, down the road, Indonesia had some kind of trouble, accreditation issues, earthquake issues, I don't wanna dwell on it. 

Then when placement time came, they were short-listing the students to enter to the top universities and some of us were thrown back to the lesser universities where we had to study in their mother tongue. After some quiries here and there, me n my parents decided we didn't want to go ahead with their plan and wanted to shift to Egypt. I got the placement and everything but then they didn't want to divert my scholarship to Egypt despite it being cheaper than the one they're offering. 

So I had the 'it's now or never' moment. I went to Egypt without any scholarship and it was a big burden to my parents. Medic. Everyone knows how expensive it is. T_T thank you ma, pa. Then in my second year I was offered Mara loan. I was ecstatic. Yeay! Lessen le parents burden. But little did I know what the Egyptians were planning. 

Riot! Riot everywhere. I'll tell you the riot story in some other post some other day. We came back - both me and my sister in the second year. We came back, then started looking for place to continue studying in Malaysia. Then I found YemYesYu. I got YemYemCee and KayPeeTee approval and they told me I could continue into the second year which means I won't lose any year and I was contented. Not exactly happy. I was a bit reluctant to come back because I'm comfortable with the Egyptian system and everything no matter how screwed up it is. Friends. I gain some trustworthy friends there. 

However my sister got accepted only in India, that also have to repeat from 1st year. We went back to Egypt, brought back all our stuffs and ready to enrol when suddenly YemYesYu turn back and said "No, you have to start all over again because we want to milk money from you." Okay okay they didn't exactly said like that but it what it sounded like! Huh. Heartbroken I started my classes all over again. I was depressed. Honestly. Hey, medic is ain't easy peasy thing, you know? 

I know I know, along the line I realized everything that had happened has a reason. I'm grateful now but back then it was like my world turn grey. The only good thing was, I am finally with my family after being away ever since I was 13. (Hostel, college and stuff) 

Back to my story, so I started all over again. From first year. With people younger by two, three years younger than me. First year. Done. Second year. Done. Finally third year! 

There you go. Why I used the word finally. 

Top 5 Arranged Marriage movies I can't get enough of! Plus Raja Rani reviews.

Last weekend I went to the movies with my family. We decided to watch Raja Rani which stars Arya hottie hunk and Nayanthara hottie chick. God bless my eyes because I just can't get enough of Arya in the movie. And if I'm not mistaken it's Nayanthara first movie after her break up with Prabhu Deva.

The movie was good. Got me laughing from the first scene itself. The casts are a feast to the eyes and I got to admit I'm loving this version of Sathyaraj. For the first time to me, he's acting his age and tone down his acting. None of the high-pitch voice. It seems more genuine. 

*Beware Spoilers* You could scroll down and skip it. 

The scene started with Arya's friend going havoc trying to find him, thinking he went escape from the wedding where else he just went out for a puff. Then the scene the bride is getting ready, as gorgeous as ever, Nayanthara was stunning, as usual. Her wedding gown is something that materialize from my dream, well sort of, but she looks absolutely amazing in it. 

They proceed to stand in front of the minister who is conducting the wedding. John (Arya) says his vows with all the write words and everything. And then the girl seems unsure as ever, says the wrong name! Dun dun! Her father collapse clutching his heart, having us to think the wedding is gonna stop or something, but it went on. You fool me there Mr Director. They got married but with the most disgust and annoyed face ever. 

Their first night was nothing less than horror where Regina (Nayanthara) cried herself to sleep while John having a festive watching the tv. First few days (what it seems like) they never talked to each other, just ignoring the other's presence, going to work on their own, while at night she cried and he drink himself to oblivion and get back home and torture her life. 

She even asked for a transfer for her job and her husband was unaffected when he overheard her conversation. Then the movie started to take a route when she while crying herself to sleep again suffers a stroke. When the doctor asked him about her details, he couldn't tell any because he was too drunk/don't really care about her too know them. After that, he starts taking care of her bit by bit (after being scolded by the doctor) when she told him her story life. 

She fell in love with an innocent man Jai (Surya) after series of funny incident. They went out. Eventually exchanged rings at church (unofficially married). His father was against it while her father was all up for it. They were suppose to get married at the registrar office when he left her unnotified while she waited at the registrar whole day. Then her father suffers heart attack and when he's admitted she found out Surya committed suicide and got her first stroke attack. 3 years later her father asked her to get married and that's her story.

He cried which I thought was unnecessarily after her 'touching' story. Then he fell in love with her. Started taking care of her until she got fed up which led her to scream at him in front of 'erbody in the hospital. Then he got drunk and his friend Santhanam Sarathy reveals John's past. 

John fell in love with a girl Nazriya Nazmi (Kerthaana) while collecting a cheque. He kept on bugging the girl for the cheque whereas actually he was only trying to tackle her. Turns out she also was into him as she got the cheque a week earlier but didn't gave it to him just to so that he'll bug her. Weird I know but what a girl in love would do for a guy. Anyway soon they got together and he tied thali on her in kuil (again unofficially married). It was all sad and sob because she was an orphan who didn't have anyone and waited all her life for someone to be by her side. Then they were out on a happy outing when suddenly she got hit by a car while crossing a road. She died in front of him tragically. 4 years later, unbeknownst to his parent that he got married once and his wife died, they sought him out to get married. 

So eventually that's how Regina and John got married. When she heard his story, she had a change of heart. She starts warming up to him but didn't show too much. One fine day, she wakes him up lovingly when he thought she had a change of heart. Turns out it's just because her father was around. So it was all an act. It was his birthday and everyone gathered for him. She gave him a gift asking him not to open in front of everyone. Out of emotion he threw the presents while he's in his room but his father in law saw it and started wondering if they're happy together.

Following day, she got the transferr to Aussie but is confused whether to go or not. That night, Regina bought a beer for John which supposedly showing a sign of affection or that she wants something (it's a thing between her and her father) but he misunderstood because he saw her ticket and he thought she was about to ask for a divorce. He got emotional again. 

Which leads her actually wants to leave. Once at the airport both reluctant to separate but both stupid enough not telling their feelings. Then suddenly she saw Surya who acted like he didn't know her. She told him and he was suppose to act all noble and bring them together. Turns out she didn't want to go back to him and even Surya forgotten her already. Which is false because he walked away looking sorrowly at his ring she gave him. Then she got fed up and ended up opening her heart to him and he chase her and live happily ever after.

*End Spoiler*

I love the concept and everything but I just hate it how they left things hang about Surya's departure all the sudden. It's like 'Okay we did all the mushy things now let's just get this over with as quick as we can'. Come on. Give us some explanation. 

Nazriya Nazim was awesome. She's pretty not too over sexy, still have the classic Indian look. I loved her in her first movie Neram even tough she didn't have much screen time in it it left an impact to make me remember her. And this time she was all cute and bubbly and makes one just wanna hug her, pat her on her hair. Her acting was superb unlike Tamanna in her first few movie where she was so awkward. I could see her go far. Maybe one day act alongside Surya or Vijay. It is said once you act with either one you're up there already. It is written somewhere in Kollywood must-do somewhere. Hehe. Joking. 

Okay back to our main topic.

Top 5 Arrange Marriage Movie I loved

1) Sillinu Oru Kadhal

- just because of Surya and Jyothika! 

- story line was awesome

- beautiful songs

- I could watch it over and over again

2) Vivaah

- this movie could made it to top if it wasn't for Surya in first place

- Shahid Kapoor at his best before he went into comedy

- just love the innocent love between them

- it was tragic but if it wasn't for his willingness to marry her even after the accident, the movie wouldn't be so awesome as it is

3) Just Married

- Fardeen Khan! I've said it once I'll said it again. I have a thing for bad boys

- smoldering eyes

- how they were trying to make it work slowly as friends instead of pushing each other away. I could relate. I mean how could you sleep with someone you just met.

- ending bit clichè but hey, it got them together.

4) Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam

- I was all Salman Khan fan during the time the movie came out and was immensely upset she end up with Ajay Devgan instead of Salman

- but once I grew up I realized Ajay deserve her so much better

- loving husband willing to sacrifice his happiness for the wife. Can't go wrong.

5) Hum Saath Saath Hain

- this is more of a family movie but could be included in the list since all the marriage is technically arranged by the parents

- love the devotion of Tabu to the husband with shaky hands

- Salman! Just adore him and Sonali

- this was when Saif still have the innocent look going on and together with Karisma just so cheeky

              I dunno why the pic seems like they're choking their wives but there you go

With all the fiction going on about how arranged marriage is a beautiful thing, I could resort to it. Although life is no fairy tale. I could end up with someone who pretends to be one person and is whole new person with their spouse. But then same goes to couples who were together for years before getting hitched but then separated because they shared everything before the marriage, there's nothing new to learn about your spouse after marriage. I guess both have their pros and cons. Anyway, our soulmate has been written for us. Sooner or later we'll find them. Let's just pray he's our prince charming we dreamed our whole life.
