Dinner at Su Mar's house, (Su Mar - Left, bottom) She is a good cook and had prepared many tasty dishes

My friends having a blast dacing their way at the Christmas party at JCUS

Zia, Adi, Mercy and self, while at Su Mar's house for dinner. Adi, Zia and self had a bottle of beer before dinner - just setting the right appetite before a tasty dinner  

The tree was looking muc more attractive in reality, than in the pic. The extra growth of creapers made the tree look unique and interesting !!! 

This place is the beginning of the Christian cemetery at Boon Lay.Just fell in love with the greenary. There was a place with trees along the road and that remined me of Mavillai, Kannur. 

Zia, over the phone. All trouble for Su Mar and Zia started after he left the handset on the bench. They ended up travelling to a house to get back the handset. They r funny lovers 

Aditya, trying to get the location from Andy. We over shot the distance and reached a far of place. The saving grace was, the beautiful location, full of trees, wild plants and a Christian cemetery.  

Get together !!!

Today we (Aditya, Sree, Abhi and self) went to Lock Stock & Barrels, pub at Cityhall. We spent more than 4 hrs.

Played a lot of pool, had won most of the games, but then Abhi, changed the series - all for a cigarette packets, which was the bet. Later on all of us were in a state, that stricking the ball became a challenge. The planned shot was different from the result. It was surely fun.

We had a lot to drink (6 jugs of beer) and later after reaching home, we again went to the nearby shop for buying 3 mini vodka's. Consuming the vodka could have been avaoided, but what to do, could not resist the temptation...

Abhi was at his best, think he is able to free his mind only after some drinks go down his throat, he is too much. Abhi again told about "Ganpathrai" also he told a new one "Ramu & Shyamu". Adi and self just could not control out laughter and believe me it was just too much. After this laughing, Adi and self had to literally catch our stomach, due to pain.

Abhi, Sree, Adi and self did infact disclose some experiences from the passed life, can't just not believe that we have all had a share of great experiences in the past and life has always been very much full of infatuations.

Stressed out !!!

Welcoming Stress to my life at S'pore. !!!

The past week was bad, had fallen into some stress levels trap. Not sure what the reason is and was, nor there was no major incident that I can imagine that could have triggered this.

Was acting very funny and was getting angry for not reasons probably ticked all the others at home coz of this behavior of mine. I used to maintain my silence for long periods. Funny emough I get really angry when Abhi and Mercy say or do something, for some unknown reason I used to react negatively - for silly reasons.

For some funny reason I was getting more tickked of by Mercy and then by Abhi. Not sure why???, but that's how it was.

I assume that I have come out of this !!!

Looking back - 2004 !!!

2004, has passed, making me older by 1 more year, more than that the year has been full of anxiety, surprises and ...

Let me just take a look at the past year...

I have not been to work since November 2003. I had resigned from work to take up studies for bettering my prospects at work and also to enhance my educational profile, which was of no real importance except for the Hotel Management diploma I had secured in 1999.

I have been quite lucky since then, in terms of getting job offers when ever I had wanted and more so when I was really low with job satisfaction. Ashok was there at all times to guide and give me courage. Anyway that was a long time back.

2004 overall has been good for me, got to know many good people,

editing the texts, will be updating shortly. apologies for the inconvenience !!!

• December

1. Maintaining the house is a big task. Hands off to all the womenfolk who have the house under their care. The 'Male' catagory of people are really un appreciative of this fact, moreover they always look for a chance to complain. I HAVE LEARNT THE DIFFICULTIES, when Mercy had been to her native place, Hyderabad for a week.
2. Another lesson (learning hopefully) - have to be patient and maintain cool head while shopping for the household items. Mercy always gives classes to me on being responsible enough for my age and also to understand the accept the fact that shopping does take time.
3. Saw "Super Star Virgo", a luxury liner, operating from Singapore. Have struck a deal with Mercy, that after she starts earning, she should take me for a cruise. Lets see...
4. Accompanied Mercy to the Chrch next door for the mid night mass. The proceeding at the church, is completely different from what I have seen at Chennai.
5. New year was a low key affair. Was at home only. Slept around 23.30 hrs. Sree, Abhi should be somewhere aorund Orchard Road.
6. Bonny to the church for mid night prayers.
7. Mercy in India with her family.

Mercy is reaching back 2moro (1st Jan'05).

Think I have covered all the good/major/sad/what not... events, for 2004.

Ochay...

WISHING ALL A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Wishing 1 and all a very Happy New Year. Wishing all good health and prosperity in 2005. May all ur dreams and aspirations come true.
