i've found a new game to play!!! mirror magic on yahoo games..it's a spot the difference kinda game!! it's gonna cause my eyesight to deteriorate even further coz i'm spending so much time with my eyes so damn close to the screen trying to look for those small hardly noticable differences! but it's soooo addictive! go play it!
going to KL tonight but haven't packed a thing...made a list already...but haven't done anything else...so i guess i should start!

excellent run today considering how long it's been..3.2km non-stop though i got slower and slower and slower..but it sure felt great!!!!!! going cycling around gardens with max tomorrow after work and hope to go for a run at the stadium again on wednesday! oh and congrats mimi on becoming a teacher!
going for a jog today at serangoon stadium after the longest time! i'm so unfit right now...netball training begins this saturday..i'm so dead! thankfully our coach won't be there for the first session..coz if she were to come we'd all be in a whole load of trouble coz we haven't maintained our fitness at all! i have to jog as much as possible this week!!!!!!!

thank god the everlasting rain has stopped..man was it bad..it rained non-stop from sunday morning to tuesday night..3 solid days of rain and cold and gloom..after that it was on and off and off and on..and now it has halted!!
monday morning was interesting coz i went to NUH for my appointment with an opthalmologist..the appt was for 8.30 but we got there at 8 and the clinic only opens at 8.30 so we had to wait outside for half an extremely boring hour..so after submitting my appt letter and registering i had to do the usual eye test..my eyesight's gotten worse..no surprise..then after that they had to take the pressure of my eyeball or something..haha that machine was funny coz like u stare into this tiny hole and all of a sudden a quick blast of air hits your eye hahaha it was quite shocking..yeah so as usual spent five years waiting for the doctor and whatever coz they only begin seeing patients at 9am..luckily i was the first one..oh man the anaesthetic eyedrops..they make your eyeballs feel so damn weird..imagine numb eyeballs..numb eyeballs!! they use those drops when they want to put something very close to or on your eyeball..it numbs the eyeball so you don't feel anything..what a feeling..and that wasn't enough! after being sent for a couple more tests in other rooms and everything the doctor decided he wanted to do something else that required my pupils to be dilated..so they had to give me eyedrops to dilate my pupils!! and i had to wait 20 minutes for it to take effect before i could see the doctor again..after that i was finally allowed to go and it was already 11+..more than 3 hours spent there! anyway when i left the doc's the whole pupil dilation thingy hadn't work off so that felt weird as well coz everything seemed soooo bright and i had to squint like crazy to prevent too much light entering my eyes! ph and i asked the doctor if i could wear contacts and he said it was my decision to make but i should really be careful..there's still a hint of a scar on my right pupil..sigh sigh sigh..
ok skip to friday..met max, mimi, narin and amarpreet(for a brief moment) in town..went to watch in her shoes..good movie..then i had to head off to khalsa for some sports meeting while the rest went to meet geri and keerthi in selegie to have sushi..yeah so my meeting went alright..but it looks like australia's not gonna happen this year due to the mela being the same weekend as the games :( oh well next year hopefully! even though i've really had enough of waiting to go for this!!! aaaaaaaaaah! ok i'm fine..
today geri, narin and i went to the driving centre in ang mo kio to sign up for our basic theory..so me and geri have our test date set whereas narin didn't bring her glasses and so has to go and register tomorrow coz u have to pass some minor eyesight test..actually i couldn't see as well coz my degree has gone up but i haven't changed my glasses and i was going to have to come back some other time also but the lady was really nice..she encouraged me to just try a bit harder and thankfully i made it!! so 7th feb is when we sit for the test! exciting :) though a bit scary..
ok and Man U just lost the manchester derby..i don't really know what to say..

what a saturday night...sitting at home in front of the computer..excitement galore..
dinner at charmaine's house/surprise super belated birthday for amarpreety kaur last night was fun! the tuna pasta that mimi's mum made was super delish though kinda spicy and the birthday cake was absolute yum! haha and our conversation over dinner was "interesting"/gross..cringe...after dinner we watched a certain super hilarious video tape and took picture after picture after picture as is typical! max bax pax lax tax please quickly download hello and send the many many pictures to me :)
i wonder when we're gonna start training again for khalsa netball..haiyoh everytime we have a break we never seem to be able to pick it up again...really hope that we can go for the australian games this year..we've been deprived of those games for a few years already since our team is so small and their committment is non-existent! bloody hell...and everyone's raving about the fact that it's being held in sydney this year so i pray that we actually get to go! a chance to check out the aussie sikh community :)

bored bored bored bored oh so bored...alrighty let me pick up from where i left off..so last friday was alright..tons of performances during the giddha at singapore swimming club..seriously lots and lots of performances..and the hot song to perform at this point in time is kajra re..there were two or three performances of that song that night itself..crazy!!!
saturday night we went over to the groom's house for dinner and some noise-making..ladies singing, everyone else just sitting around enjoying their dinners laughing and chatting..children running all over the place(huge house).. very fun and lively atmosphere..best part about weddings! around 11.30pm we left the house and i took the mrt from kembangan to novena to meet charmaine..we were supposed to get on the same train heading to orchard as geri and max but since me and mimi were sitting facing the wrong direction and not even paying attention to which train was which we missed the train! hahaha was really quite funny! so we got on the next train and met max and geri at orchard and all the happy new year hugs were exchanged..then we headed towards indochine to wait for the rest..man was orchard chaotic..tons and tons and tons of people swarming all over the place with spray cans of foam and string..police were all over the place as well thank god..not that they could do much about the chaos..so the four of us were waiting outside indochine when we heard these screams from behind us so we turn and see kim, shaleen and treepti running towards us covered in foam! everyone started laughing and talking so loudly and trying to get the foam off them when another dude comes from behind and sprays max and treepti with some more foam(i had a narrow escape)! so everyone starts screaming and laughing again!! after a while we all calm down and wait for the rest(narin, aman and amarpreet) to arrive..so after they all get there i bid my adieus and went home to have as good a rest i could seeing as it was 2 am by the time i reached home and i had to wake up at 6am to get ready for the long wedding day!!
so sunday morning i manage to wake up although i'm so so so sleepy..we head over to the groom's house first and then pack off into 2 chartered buses to make our way to the bride's house for the milni(meeting between bride's and groom's families and exchange of gifts) and breakfast..huge house again..excellent breakfast!!!! there was yummy cake :) after that it was back to the buses and this time we headed to katong temple where the wedding was to be held..the wedding was attended by loads and loads of people..the prayer hall was packed and yet more and more people came..the ceremony was nice..the bride looked beautiful in a pink punjabi suit with an extremely heavy looking but ever so beautifully embroidered dupatta(scarf). after the ceremony we had lunch in the temple and then headed back to the groom's house to await the arrival of the bride..was quite a long wait and i was oh so tired and getting more and more tired by the minute do to my lack of sleep..we left for home a while after the bride arrived at the household..i managed to sleep for about an hour(soo wasn't enough) before i had to wake up and get myself ready for the reception at raffles town club..i knew i wasn't gonna be ready on time so my parents left first and i caught a ride with my aunt.
the ballroom was gorgeous and there was such an excellent variety of food and desserts! unfortunately i couldn't eat all that much as i was wearing a sari and it was tied so tight that it seriously limited how much i could put in my stomach..there were quite a few performances..all very very good as usual..mix of bhangra and hindi songs..the main bhangra performance was by sher-e-punjab..they dance really well and they did a medley of songs..it was really a pleasure to watch..very different from the usual bhangra performances..and of course a while after that they opened the dance floor wooo hoooo!! duh that's what i had been waiting for all along..so me and my cousins and my aunts and my mum danced and danced and danced!!
k so i thought that was it..reception over means that's the end of everything buuuut we were invited to dinner again at the groom's house the next night..monday night..so for the final time we all got together and had dinner and had our sing-song and had our conversations and had our laughs :) man was the entire wedding fun..it was just so cool to get together with so many family members we don't see often and make new friends and all that..memories memories memories!!
on tuesday i dragged max to meet up with my cousin's cousins from australia and 2 of their other friends from australia as well..we went to mustafa and bugis and had a lot of laughs..oh geri if only you'd woken up! oh and thanks so much max for coming along coz you know how shy i am! don't know what i would've done on my own! but actually they're so friendly and easy to talk to..made it all the better!
last night we went to the Ministry of Sound!!! been dying to go there! haha we lined up at like 8.30 or something like that just so that we'd be able to get in fast and get a table and all that..that place is massive and it is sooo cool! each room was like WOW! the decor was gorgeous..we spent most of our time in the r n b room which was small and soooo packed we had soo little space to dance and we weren't even on the actual dance floor..it was insane!!!! i had a lot of fun! we must must must go again..amarpreet, narin, and mimi khoo you have got to come too!
right i've gotta go eat pear! charmaine i'm looking forward to dinner tomorrow!
