I wouldn't want to bore you but isn't that what most homepages are for... to bore people!:) So, let me tell you more about myself and the stuff I like to do. I come from a small family. I have one elder brother and that's it!:) My elder brother is a graduate from Monash University. He completed his degree in Law/Commerce early last year. He is presently doing his articleship in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia. My father has a PhD in Economics from London School of Economics and my mother is a graduate teacher who has since retired, finding it too stressful for her liking!:) You must be thinking that I should have inherited some of their intelligence...don't fool yourself!:) I haven't!:) I am a mediocre person with mediocre looks,personality and intelligence!:) But that doesn't mean that I have low self esteem...I just know my capabilities!:)
I am a second year student at Monash University (voted University of the Year in 1994). I study Politics and Psychology though, I am thinking of doing some other subjects as well. You know give myself some rest from all this saving the world crap!*grin*
What do I enjoy? That's a good question! Well, I like water sports ie, swimming, jetskiing, para-sailing, stuff like that!:) I also like trying to act smart (*grin*) by getting into discussions on the world and current issues...but that's nothing more than an act guys!:) I am as dumb as the woman next door!*grin* No, I kid you...I actually do like discussing current issues with my friends.
What else do I enjoy? Hmm...well, I am a very diverse person...There have been people who have told me that I seem to have the Dr.Jekyl and Hyde personality syndrome...Am I pulling your leg? Well, you have to know me before you can actually make that decision!:) Well, I like broadway musicals such as Miss Saigon, Phantom of the Opera, watching movies...it doesn't really matter what kind of movies so long as I find them entertaining..The most recent movie I have watched? Well, that would be The Long Kiss Goodnight with Geena Davis and Samuel L.Jackson. I enjoyed it!:) Some other movies I have watched in recent months...The Ghost and the Darkness,Micheal,Glimmer Man, Jack, Space Jam ( a thoroughly enjoyable movie, in my opinion), Dragon Heart....and so on and so forth!:) As you can see, I watch quite a few movies.
Music ,all kinds...I listen to pop, rock, classical, sentimental, r&b...anything...I guess, it just depends of my mood. Some of my favourite singers and musicians according to the types...
Pop - Celine Dion, Sting, Elton John (One of my all time favourites), Kenny G, Micheal Jackson, Alanis Morisette R&B - Boyz II Men, BabyFace, Toni Braxton Indian Classical - Zakir Hussein(tabla-a North Indian drum), Vinayakram (gadam-a South Indian accompanying instrument.An earthenware pot), Dr.Chitti Babu(veena-a S.Indian string instrument), Kadir Gopalnath(a musician of our times, saxophonist), Mandolin Sreenivas(Mandolin player) Country Western - John Denver, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton Alternative - Nirvana, Bush, Silverchair, Oasis Broadway Musicals - Miss Saigon, Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar, '60's Music - Don Mclean, Beatles, Paul Simon, Neil Diamond, Bob Dylan
People Who Have Changed My Life Throughout my life, I have met people from all walks of life. Each one of them have touched my life in some way but some have left a lasting impact on me. These people have stood by me in my worst moods and worst times. They have told me when I insisted on being a jerk!:) They have not been scared to show me that no matter what a jerk I insist on being, they will stick by me until I decide to learn my lesson. These people have been my own guardian angels and they are (drum roll please) Sumitra, Aarathi (YEs, and I mean U!!!:)), Sue , Stephen Ansell (a wonderful man who has taught me the joys of loving myself!), Norma Hedges (who forgave me for hurting her son and accepted me for who I was), Andrew (a wonderful guy who has changed my life in ways I never knew possible), Arul ( my little brother with his vision of making a good little Sri Lankan girl but who seems to be failing miserably...I am sorry da!:)). I don't know where I would be without these people in my life. I would have probably have given up on life and mankind much earlier if not for these few people. Guys, thanks a lot for your patience with this stubborn and reasonably slow person!:)
