There and Back Again

(That's the title of Bilbo's tale.)
This place doesn't suggest it, but a lot has happened. Pictures in next post. (If you don't wanna read this whole post, you HAVE to read the last para at least.)

Went to Miami and New Jersey and New York.
-Visited places, talked to cool people, had lotsa long rides in cars, shopped, walked around. Details when I put the photos up.

Went to Chennai.
- Cousin's marriage. The usual gatherings before the wedding, the wedding itself, and the traditional movie/sleepover/early-morning-beach-trip. Dinner with the cousin on the other side. Once again, the details will come with the photos.

Returned home but was busy.
- With rehearsals for Pradhana Vizha, and studio recordings, and the show itself.
- Met a brother to pass him a sweet he wanted from India, and to catch up with what's been going on. Got a ride home in his car!
- Accompanied another brother who wanted to open a bank account. And buy himself a suit.
- Cracked my head about 1) whether to join PERSPECTIVES 2010 and 2) whether to take up a double major.
- Had to do MAJOR cleaning to the poor neglected house.
- WENT CYCLING! =D With Fadilah and Herrick, at East Coast.
- YOG training has begun. Finally met the people I'll be working with. I'm assigned to tennis, archery and soccer!!
- My aunt and cousin arrived, from California. Stayed a week. My sis and I had lotsa fun taking them out.
- World Cup! Spain Spain Spain!
- THE OVERSEAS PEOPLE HAVE STARTED COMING BACK. FINALLY. Met Dhevy and Rama and Mike at the airport, after going with Rama and Mike to collect his new luggage from the EXPO.
- Numbed my brain trying to sort out my timetable for the coming semester. I'm gonna give the double major a shot - for a sem at least, and see if i can cope.
- Met yet another brother today, to pass him a very belated birthday gift and to eat a sundae.

What still remains on the horizon:
- Have to work hard on sorting out my timetable and coordinating it with Kula's and Jas' and Carmen's.
- Meet up with a load of other friends: RnB, VJ people (will meet some of em at Sheela's reception), at least 2 different groups from Uni, Amu&Kastoori this Friday, French Day with Livia and Sha, hiking (choo choo trail! hahaha) with Fadilah, Baking Day cum Disney Movie Marathon with Geraldine & Alina & Jenn & Yuvanes.

Meeting Dhevy tomorrow morning to go cycling, and then to go visit the folks at VJ. AND eat the VJ food we've been craving for. A couple of days back, it rained really heavily, and the streetlights on one side of the road were all extinguished! Singapore's not invulnerable after all. I had never seen the road so dark before that.

I was sitting at my table in my room, when I heard a loud popping noise outside. I peeped out of my room, and saw my mum holding a sheet of bubble wrap and looking extremely delighted =D I squealed and ran out to get the sheet. Mum asked if she could pop one more before giving it to me. I said okay. MLIA.
