its raining cats and dogs now, complete with the whole works.. thunder, lighting and my terrified big furry animal trying to squeeze into the darkest of corners, and did i mention smallest, possible.. just went to check on the other furry fella, who's trembling in fear as well.. so i moved the poor rabbit into the house, and hopefully that makes it feel a lil more 'protected'.. My dog, on the other hand has left my room to venture other cozier corners. Crazy animal. :)
Anyways, its the first day of Feb. how fast time flies.. Much has happened since i last blogged. The kiddies, i go on so much about, came down to Singapore. Ragi, Bhav and myself followed them to Night Safari and then back to the place they were putting up at. We were thoroughly entertained the entire time we spent with them and i swear kids really say the darnest things la. I wish i'd recorded every single funny moment, coz my memory seems to fail me now as i intend to quote them! Oh well! Anyways after it was past the kid's bedtime, Bhav, Urmi (the kids' mom), Janna, Giri and myself met at the 24 hour Swensens in town. The lethal combi- Janna and Giri- left us in peals of laughter 3/4 of the time. They really are a funny pair la. I miss those days, where we all used to hang out in Ngee Ann. By all i mean like about 10 of us.. making fun of each other (of coz i'd be the butt of the joke most of the time la, but was fun nonetheless), creating a racket in the atrium, playing pranks on the randomest of strangers- sometimes a chick, one of the guys in the group had their eye on, competing to see who could scream my name or whistle the loudest.. haha all sorts of nonsense la! i truly miss.. :( i even miss the long bus rides home.. i miss everything about my poly days la..
Anyways.. enough reminiscing.. Its not like i can go back in time, can i..
Had a hotel stayover at Raffles the Plaza, now known as Fairmont, over the weekend. The room was the bomb!!! it had a larger than life bed, a whole 'living area' and ample space to do some cartwheels or whatever u pleased! It was my mom's treat for us, those who took part in Abhaya! :) We had some Absolute pear and wine in the room and then made our way to Gotham, which was having a damn Bhangra night. Got tired of the constant 'armpit in the air' dance moves and headache causing beats, so we headed down to 2359 for a refreshing change in music. Was the first time i was clubbing with the younger dance chicas, and i must say they're a fun bunch! Should have seen their soulja boy dance moves all, cekappppppppppppppp man! ;) sigh, i feel old. wait a sec, i AM old. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Went to Bintan from Monday to Thursday. Bintan was, as expected, heaven on earth. It was kinda like a 'business' trip, and i shall leave it as that. But Bintan never fails to leave me awestruck. Picked up a new 'sport'- boogie boarding and Shawn and I had the best time- chasing, fighting, riding and being one with the waves.. If only we'd discovered the board earlier!We enjoyed the traditional cold beer on the beach, at sunset and even at noon, desperately trying to wash down the heat with the afternoon sun mercilessly beating down on us. We experienced the beautiful pool at Nirwana gardens, and treated ourselves to a cocktail each, at the pool bar, while still half submerged in the water. We realised, faced and even overcame some of our fears. One of my many fears for example, was worrying that some creature in the water would somehow get me. So i would nervously scan the water for jelly fish or other scary fellows and everytime a wave hit and the water became cloudy, i'd run back to the shore screaming! Well that fear has now diminished! Well, sort of :) We got an awesome deal, $55 a night at Nirwana beach club! a last minute grab- end of January thing apparently. So it was a super saver which totally didn't hinder our fun! Came back with a major tan, not something i'm completely ecstatic about, but i guess it couldnt be helped, what with the amount of time we spent under the blazing sun. All in all, a fabbbb trip and hopefully one that served its purpose!
I'd have posted pictures for all the exciting things i spoke about, but i havent gotten down to uploading the pics from my camera.. Maybe next time, aight! :) Till then, good day ya'll!!!!!!! Muacks! I'm off to snoozeland for a bit! Ah, the joys of being a bum! =)
The heart has its reasons which reason knows not of..
