As i prepare to leave

Just having a tough time in preparing myself to get back home. Having all these mixed feelings. I'm certain one thing though. I'm surely going to miss KL alot, I've gotten so use to this place. The comfort, the many friends around. GT especially, felt right at home the day i found my way in. Its been a long way, but yes i do need to return home to bigger responsibilities and duties :)

15 more days to clock in!! whoo hooo ;)

Leaving KL on the 29th of March, ahhh I can only picture this day to be one of the gloomiest day ever. When i flew in in 2007 every second person I saw and looked at was a stranger to me. I did not even have one person i knew personally. Somehow worked my way through and looking at how things changed. I have more number of friends here than I do back home in India ;)

Praise God eh, for small blessings :)

Interesting pictures of the famous limestone cave at Ipoh, Malaysia

The entry ticket was quite cheap only RM 9 :)

That gives you the Tracking Map inside of the cave

One of the many findings, notice a cat face

Another interesting finding, a woman's face

The wind tunnel

Kite Flying

An ordinary day turned out to be quite fun filled :)

Franc and I walking and I was just wondering how do i get smiley up there

Ah, it wasn't so hard after all, its just kite flying!

Loved this picture, especially the clouds

Yeah, that's how far smiley was :)

Smiley among many others

Yup and that was Smiley's best pal, SpongeBob!

Titanic :)

2008-12-27T23:18:00.006+08:00

I'm glued, im actually watching Titanic on Star Movies as i write this! :) Oh my, it brings back so so many memories. The first time i watched it was way back in 1998, it was winter, cold and I was struggling to study as I was having my Cl XII finals, I juggled between books and the not so clear screen as it was aired on cable and the print wasn't very good.

The second time i watched it was in Pune, at Vijay Theater. Sadly they did not have multiplex during that year, the sound quality wasn't that good but better than the cable.

Now this is the third time I am watching it at the comfort of home, with a slight breeze and comfortable sofa, good quality sound and whats best is it brings back memories over 10 years. That is what is making this watch more interesting than the other two. :)

True Meaning of Christmas

2008-12-24T00:08:00.013+08:00

I have often wondered what is the true meaning of Christmas?
While growing up, it was more of the fancy stuff you know getting all new clothes, pressies, glorious food and of course the Christmas tree....Over the years, the list became smaller and smaller. It was still Christmas without a new dress, or presents under a Christmas tree.

So, what then is the real reason, or the true meaning of Christmas? It was while we were preparing for the "Love is in the air" Christmas barbecue party did it dawn on me the writing on the give away cups of John : 3:16 : "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life"

Therefore the real reason to Christmas is simply the gift of 'love'...

Some interesting shots of a well decorated mall...The Gardens, Mid Valley City.

I like the deco this year more compared to last year! :)

Oh my walk - way to lunch :)

Wishing you the merriest Christmas ever, everyone!!

Happy Anniversary Pumpkin :)

BRIEFLY IT ENTERS, BUT LASTED CLOSE TO A DECADE!
I was picked up from the wild
I was the blossom pressed in a book
Found again after many long years!
I am the maker, the lover and the keeper :)

AS MEMORIES FADE.....
I still am that blossom pressed in a book!!

WHILE EVERYONE ELSE WAS e-MAILING....

Dated way back in 2004, CII-ER, Calcutta!!
It felt good receiving a hand-written letter, especially with the so many stamps required by our Indian Postal Service for a simple 5 paged letter from Delhi to Calcutta :)
To assure its delivery, the sender took the extra effort of sending it by Registered Post...else, who knows this simple yet meaningful letter would have been lost in transition. I'm glad i got it and we thought we'd continued this trend...Somehow we got too caught up leading media rich lifestyle....we got stuck with e-mailing as well :)

Nick Names....
We shared this interest in nick names, somehow each one is always linked to some incident that when we date back - we can't help but LOL and smile reminding us how little things like these also makes a difference....
To start with - it was

SOUP n LASSI - who orders soup and lassi at the same time during fine dining...what a waste of time, effort and money :P
BEDCOVER - for a birthday present...come off it!! ;)
WILL & GRACE - Someone wanted to turn gay....I assume, no wait...I'm right!!
SCREWDRIVER - hahahaha....OMG, what was he thinking??
PHYSIO - We both shared one each...baby physio and kiddo physio
MJ - if only i looked like her *wink*
SOFTY n BODO - reminds me of our maid long long time ago...Phas!! ;)
ICE QUEEN - almost dead, comes alive though at times - most recent December 5, 2008 :)
W.A.L.L.E - how adorable, he was...
APRIL - Thanks to 'Definitely, Maybe' - i love it!

A Missed Called Best-Friend...Longest Itemised Bills and Repeating Talks!
Crap, on reflecting on these its better less said - (you know why!!)

Tiffs , Bets and Surprises
Called it childish, but they were fun, I won most of them and HUGO BOSS was definitely a surprise this time around :)

Why Faces and Places....

Traveling has always been my passion for many years now, i love learning about new cultures, especially coming from a land of richly diverse cultures. I am privilege to be living in a new country and be exposed to yet another set of new faces and places :)
