Too much has been going on lately, my mind is kinda everywhere and keep thinking of 'what ifs' and 'whys'. Since finding out my parents are not my biological parents but my biological mother and father is my dad's brother and sister-in-law...then realising I'm not an only child I have twin older sisters and a older brother.
Even though I still haven't told my parents that I know I found out by finding my birth certificate then being really shocked and dazed for a while, I thought I was alrite about it but I'm very happy and grateful that they brought me up as their child.
I was dealing with it really well by myself until I told one of my cousins and now my close cousins know and my mum's 2 sisters - I'm not exactly the type of person who confides to someone about everything because sometimes I like to deal with things by myself but I found my close family members are always supportive and I think that's how we all stick so well...I see my cousins as brothers and my younger aunty like a best friend...I told them I knew but I never told them how I felt.
I thought I was dealing with it well by myself until last weekend when I was with my aunty and my cousin when they asked how I felt...and I don't why but I just burst out crying and didn't realise it actual still does affect me...I guess you can't always deal with things by yourself and you need support of others. It felt like the weight was taken off my shoulder when I told my cousin and aunt how I felt, so I'm glad my emotions came out then because if I didn't have an emotion outburst sooner I don't think I would have been able to deal with it.
But anyways I'm in no way angry with my parents for not telling me I guess they were protecting me from the truth especially in my teenage years as my emotions were everywhere during that time or that I may use this excuse in an argument with them without thinking.
The family members who I've told haven't told mum and dad yet but they told me they are with me when I want to tell my parents what I know and that it doesn't change anything, they will always be my parents no matter what. A few occasions I've tried to confront my parents but nothing comes out my mouth...my fear is that if I tell them it might hurt them because I kept this secret from them for nearly 10 months now. I think I'm scared that they might treat me differently or that everything may change making sure they won't say anything wrong to me and I won't say anything wrong to them.
But I will tell them until I feel really comfortable enough to say something...I will have to tell them the truth sooner or later.
My time in India
Okay enough with my messed up head =p I really had an awesome time in India although I went for a week I loved every minute of it. My cousin's wedding was beautiful and very tiring getting all the preparations, the clothes, shoes etc done in time!
I'm seriously not use to waking up at 5/6am in the morning everyday lol. Everyday we was doing something or going somewhere. Went to the Golden Temple after we boarded our flight at 5 in the morning but it was really beautiful made me feel like I was right at home. Went to lots more gurdwaras in the first few days, then a Hindu temple (1st time I've been to a Hindu temple so I didn't really know the customs that well but it was beautiful), shopping, shopping, shopping, family outings and more shopping! We usually came back at home 2/3am in the morning so you can guess when I came back to England I stayed in bed allday during the weekend =p.
Although we had a really scary incident in Jallandhur (spelling?) when shopping for my cousin's wedding. It was all females in the car except for the driver we finished the shopping at 9pm (yes a stupid mistake for all women to go somewhere we hardly even know just for shopping!) and then went for McDonalds. After Mcdonalds a car behind kept flashing at us, our driver kept indicating to that car to take over him but strangely didn't...next minute you know they were chasing our car - that really scared the living daylights out me! because they kept chasing us trying to make us stop and then trying to slam their car into ours!
Then the engine burst in our car when the driver did a 3 point turn to keep away from that car!!! I seriously thought that was it we were gonna die cos you only see this in movies, just good job there was a petrol station nearby. The driver stopped and a guy dressed in a policeman's suit came out of that car telling us all to get out of the car but we just locked all the doors and windows...cos there were 3 suspicious people in that car with scarves over their faces. Thankfully my cousin's aunty was with us because she's a police woman. She went hysterical whwn she go out of the car shouting at the guy that they nearly try to kill us chasing us, she then asked for his ID but he just ran back in the car and sped off! I just couldn't believe what happened I'm just grateful she was there if she wasn't then we would have been in deep trouble.
We didn't realise that the car was following us all that time when we were shopping at Frontiers. Apparently another 3 people got robbed near this shop on the same night of the incident and 1 victim was seriously injured. I'm just glad that everyone else was okay and didn't get harmed. At least we learned our lesson!
Anyways going to India was kinda a spiritual enlightenment for me =) I didn't let any issues or worries that I had in England get to me while in India so as you would know I was extremely happy in India and can't wait to go again....and this is speaking from a girl who use to hate going to India lol...but one thing that hasn't changed I'm still scared of flying!
Oh and I never use to drink coffee and cappucino before but I've become addicted to Indian cappuccino! - British cappuccino just can't compare lol.

Hope everyone is having a lovely day with their other half or secret admirers :p...it's funny Valentine's Day. It's quite commercialised but it's also a great day cos many people feel great and you can feel some love from everyone...so it's not all bad, even when you don't get a Valentine's Card :p
I'm going to India tomorrow! Well thursday actually at 4am but gonna stay at my cousin's tomorrow night so it's gonna be a little stressful. I need someone to hold my hand when I'm on the flight, I'm too scared to go on it!
I also asked my tutor for extension on the coursework thats has to be handed in on Monday (i'll be in India). At first she wouldn't give the extension, she thought I didn't deserve it lol since it's no excuse for not getting the work done earlier on. But she's allowed me to have an extension until I come back from India then I'll have to hand it in. So I'll have to do my work in India but hopefully I can get it done by then which I doubt it!
Oh and I went to watch Final Destination 3 with my cousin on saturday and it is quite good but pretty gory but I don't understand why filmmakers think it's necessary to always have some nudity in films - although it was actually necessary for that death!
I won't be online till the 26th feburary when I come back from India but I hope everyone has a great time and I'll see you soon!

But I'm still getting use to the laptop...I thought there was something wrong with the cursor moving only to realise instead of the touch pad on the laptop I was using my PC's mouse and keyboard lol.
I got both of my courseworks back with just a 'bare' pass so I dunno if it's a good thing or a bad thing but I got D grade (I really do think I'm cursed cos I always get a D grade for nearly everything lol) for them.
I've only got a week left to get my 3rd coursework finished (I would had 2 weeks to do it if my cousin wasn't getting married) before going to India.
So it's really stressful at the moment cos I also gotta my tutorials done as well!
I thought I'll do the words game where I have to think of a word from Unconscious Mutterings :
- Taking sides:: games
- Couples:: love
- Right of refusal:: freedom
- Marla:: Grey (don't ask lol)
- Multiple:: maths
- Trinity:: Street (street I use to live on as a kid)
- Sneeze:: cold
- Sweatpants:: comfy
- Steve:: Austin (I use to be a big fan of wrestling when I was younger :p)
- Fabulous:: fashion

It's been really busy so I didn't have time to blog...I've only just started today to get things sorted in the luggage for India but I keep forgetting what other stuff I need to put in :p
Went shopping twice to MeadowHall but I only bought 2 things as my whole family went to get the guys clothes sorted out while us girls/women getting our clothes sorted in India for my cousin's wedding.
Went to watch Rang De Basanti on Saturday and we asked for the 9.45pm showing. The guy who checks your tickets said we are in screen 4 when we got there the film had already started even though we came 15 minutes early before the actual time the show starts!...after a while we realised something was wrong with the movie as it finished in an hour! only to realise the box office gave us the wrong tickets and the ticket guy told us the wrong screen!! I couldn't believe lol.
Knowing most of my family members they started complaining to them for like 15 minutes and it was kinda embarrassing because there was a massive queue at the box office lol. But they gave us free tickets for next time for any new movies which is good. But still I know what the story is all about in the film but I didn't get the chance to see how all the characters are like and how the story develops etc....oh well.
Oh and I'm feeling much more better now :) I don't get that smell anymore since my doctor gave me a nasal spray but I had a blood test and waiting for results just in case it could be something else.

Been a little busy getting the coursework finished and feeling quite unwell at the moment. I got this smokey/gas smell in my nose everytime I breathe in which is really weird and my forehead feels funny. It's not a headache it's like a pressure feeling as if someone is pushing my head.
My doctor told me to have a blood test as she doesn't why I get the smokey smell. So I have to use this nasal spray for a month! :p oh well I just hope it isn't serious later on.
Only 3 weeks left till my cousin get's married in India and I still haven't got anything ready! I bet I will only sort stuff out a few days before departure :p.
