ok let me start with april 13th, thursday, day before vesakhi..two bhangra nights were on and narin and i definitely wanted to go for one buuuut we didn't know which to go for..it was really quite a difficult decision but we made the decision together and promised not to blame each other if it sucked..so we met around 10.20..was supposed to be 10 but i couldn't get ready on time..as usual..coz i was watching american idol when i shld hv been getting ready...then i couldn't decide what to wear..then i realised nobody would care anyway so i just wore whatever and ran for the bus stop! so the whole way to chijmes we were like it's gonna be so bad, no one's gonna be there and blah blah blah blah..so we met narin's brother at chijmes got out tix and went in..skeptical at first..but then narinder spots hot people hahaha so she's happy so we start dancing and we never stop!!!! the music rocked and the crowd was good too!!! man was the place packed...hardly any space to move! so we had a great time but had to leave really early coz we had to go to temple the next morning...

the next morning, april 14th, friday, vesakhi, the most major celebration for us sikhs...vesakhi represents the day our religion was actually born...i think...if u want to know more, go search the web..it would be of way more help..and it's also the celebration of the harvest in punjab i think..but that doesn't really apply to us..do u see us farming over here?? i don't think so..but hey, we're more than happy to use that as a reason to celebrate..punjabi people jump at the chance to celebrate anything..which is what i really love about my people :) :) :) hehehe so anyway vesakhi this year was quite fun for me..went to three different temples..met many friends and relatives...watched a cute kiddy fashion show..which jasmine helped organise hahaha...then in the evening we had a family dinner at the club..celebrate good times come on!!!

two days later, april 16th, friday, geri's birthday, vesakhi mela...mela means funfair/carnival..so our mela here in singapore starts off with sports events in the morning, soccer, netball and hockey..this year i didn't have a team to play netball with, so along with my khalsa teammates i had to help run the tournament...doing fixtures, umpiring and stuff like that...there were a total of seven teams this year and twenty matches were played in total! my sister took part with a team of little people hahah but they were the only under 12 team so we had to put them with the under 18's..when they played their first match we were so scared that they'd either get trampled on by the bigger people or they'd lose by a mile buuuuuuuuuut lo and behold, they won the match!!!!!! it was the most exciting match of the entire tournament...everyone along the sidelines was cheering like crazy...i was jumping up and down and clapping and screaming hahahahaha soooo funny!!! max came around 10+ and got roped in to help keep score and stuff like that...then narin came around 1 and we were all just burning in the sun...especially me and i've got the peeling nose to prove it! after the whole thing was over we headed over to khalsa itself where the food and game stalls were and had our "lunch" which was actually just potato wedges..then we walked around for a bit watched a few performances and then......it started to pour!!! rain rain and more rain...we were standing around waiting for the longest time for the rain to lessen so that we could go out and get a cab...finally it did and we managed to get home!! super tiring day but i had loads of fun! we recruited some new girls for our netball team as well...it was a good day!
