hello there..
fri this week was spectactular...i know anything to me is either lovely or awsome..but i gotta admit i am pretty optimistic and practical about anything and everything..so here it goes
i actually found a job...well i henceforth work at the British India Company which is oppsite ZARA.. at taka.....so friends of mine reading this ...feel free to drop by whenever to say hi...i like my job...i've been to the britishindia outlets before..and trust me i know how empty they can be..so i get paid to slack..no complains there*.... :):)
well..this is how it all began...kudos to my super nice classmates...who are the only people i get to see nowadays...so since penny had a telemarketing job interview to check out...i managed to go town with mudit 1st to go find a shop..and thanks to mud i did not give up easy...haha..i think..the long john silver's lady wanted to hire me...but i couldnt imagine serving fish in a ghastly yellow uniform..so i tried my luck at highend retail..like..hermes..britishindia..banana republic..versace...etc..and thankfully there was an opening at britishindia..so they took me in..but its only for a month..afterwhich..i'm applying to be a cashier at versace..so thats how it goes.
.haha..mud was damm funny...or according to him..i'm damm dumb...i was all happy and told him that i finally stocked my ipod with the coldplay classics..and he was like sanya..those were out in 1999...haha..!and i also found out that we have a penchant for over-rated and under-rated tv shows.....overrated..eg 30 rock ....and underrated eg.kyleXY
anyways...6 plus...penny meet me and mud at centrepoint..clarrise was with her...and shiraj...who had SCDF met after that..haha..he looks so diff...its the army..he's suddenly so dark..and his hair..HAHHAHA..well we chatted at pepper lunch for sometime..and i quickly got home after that...with the pleasure tht i am emplyed...haha..i amuse easily

hello there...i'm back from adelaide..and i gotta say it was one of the nicest holidays i've ever had...especially since it was my only sister's lovely wedding to tim..the only backlash i guess was that my dad was not there to encounter this wonderful experience..and since..he choose not to acknowledge the wedding since it did not involve an indian guy...haha...well my mom and i have choosen to close a blind eye....so...adelaide is this really nice country..as when i arrived the weather was so pleasent....well the sun was hot but the wind which blew was chilly...so i did manage to see nice places like the strawberry farm which was a paranomic view of acres and acres of lush strawberry patches.. ..from there we did drive up to handorff which is a little german village..and it sure lives up to its name with time homes which look like cottages...and othernice german inspired bakeries and sweet shops..with the best bailey's irish cream flavoured nouget..and yes nothing says german more than a birkenstock shop....too bad heidi klum din lurk around...hahha..and th wedding...!
my sis was clad in a gorgeous...golden gown ...which has a croset back..and a nice train....not gorgetting the silver morfits which lined the gown at several locations...sweet!....mummy and i helped my sis get ready and so did we...as i was the beloved maid of honour...thx sis!......afterwhich..i got a ride to the church which was small and vintaged as it was built in the 18th century...
.the wedding went well...and aft tons and tons of camera flashes...we went to the reception which was at the cleveland wildlife park...i had a nice time...7 champagne glasses later..i was tipsy..but i did remember all the nice moments...and...so on and so..on.oh! at the farmhse which tim's parents owned..i saw themost amazing sights of the night sky...light pollution had certinly not gotten its presence there..and i swear i would have seen at least a thousand stars..and the best part..i manage to see the milky way..freakin..best moment of my life..well it does take a trained eye to recognise it well it was stunning...along with all the other plants which certainly outshone the stars in how bright they shone..loves!..and since the tempt in adelaide was reaching an all time high in the past 80 years...of almost 44 degrees...as the heat was sweltering...we came back ..x)

life's awfully boring for the unemployed..haha..well since juhi and i had nothing to do...i managed to meet up with her..to catch my 2nd movie of this week!...-CHANGELING..
you know that film with angelina jolie..and the role she played about a doting mother who loses her son ....and by all means tries to get him back...regardless of the police department's fruitless attempts to manipulate her ...into believing that another boy was her actual son...and so yea..thats how the storyline runs...well i understand why angelina jolie was nominated..for a golden globes...for her performance..in this mopvie..and i also understand why she did not win....rather clique...haha....juhi and i had a good laugh..since every nonchalant...dramatic..scene..had a mellow violin playing in the background...ahha..we had a good time imitating that...oh oh...since the cathey was practically empty .... we decided to take whichever seats we wanted...and we ended up in the couple seats..i never know..they exisited...same as normal seats ..excluding the handle bar.....
so after the movie....since we were at "THE CATHEY"
i simply ..simply had to show juhi the indoor coy fish pond on the bottom floor....i swear...the fishes there are the stupidest fish i have ever seen...honestly...if u go there....go take a look at the coy fishes in the pond..for the past 2 yrs..i have been trying to annoy them...but they are just so unreactive!....u can ... clap ur hands ..or do any sudden movements above the pond..and the fishes simply DO NOT MOVE!....they are absolutely uncapable..of any instincts...or fear...aagh...frustrating stupid fishes..HAHA...
afterwhich..we walked over to plaza sing...went to carrefour..got groceries..and headed home..
juhi so sweet !...
-i want to watch SLUM DOG MILLIONAIRE..so badly..!..the trailer is really nice..go check it out! x)...
-scc vs thersarians sun @ delta 3pm sun ...really important stuff....

**super long post..** -just a precaution...haha
hi hi i'm back in sunny singapore after a splendid new year's here...not only did i go for the mid night service i also got invites along wif celina and jessie to christopher annan's new yr's party..it was really nice...as there all the folks from church..omg...chris gave me soo much to drink i sweare i was knocked out aft just a few glasses...i was laughinfg to my self..i swear..and when i fell down it was utterly painless..haha...
after..that...in 2 days or so...i went to vietnam wif my family...for a couple of days...my 1st impression has gotta be...OMG i'm in a COMMUNIST country...hahha..though i gotta admit..the vietnamese...people carry their way of life in a simple..way...where their..local delicacy is "pho" which is beef and vermicilli..and bean sprouts in a clear soup....my parents and i had a culture shock...we being indian...expect everything to have at least...5 types of spices and herbs in all that we eat...HAHHA...well..the sight seeing was nice...lots of vietnamese..and their bikes..omg...this place is infested with motorcycles.....there are almost 70% motorcycles..and 30% cars..and with no traffic lights..lining the roads...u can imagine..how hard it is to cross the road...ahhah..apart from that...regardless of the not so ancient history of the vietnam war and all..the country truely boasts of a community of youths...eager..to put the daunting behind and move on in a positive way..
so i come back to singapore...and u know what i find out..i lost my job..the one..i have not even gone for...man..thats disappointing...to make matters worse i was told got hockey training to day at the padang...omg i damm smart..i went for training without any sports shoes ..aihz..lucikly...my mom was sooo sweeet..t ocome down all the way to pass them to me///
training was fun....except that i got constantly scolded for lifting my arm up when i do a push...i do that??...i never knew...so coach was pretty bummed and i couldn't help but lift it up either...sian...okok..arios
