MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

So …… Did I take my passport? Did I pack the stuff I bought? ……… ok all done…. Off we go to the airport…. And the shuffling around for my forms for the VAT return since I had bought some stuff while I was ther…..…. So I finished got settled in to my seat…. Hey wasn’t it jus the other day…. That I was sitting and staring out of the window to see if I could get a glimpse of the moon and zooommmmm the days flew by and I was gona be back in india…… in a couple hours….

Some pics of THE HOSTS :)




Since the flight arrived in the wee hours of the morning… my sis and uncle, aunt everyone felt it was silly to get dad wait for me at that hour so I went with them and slept and got a big fat breakfast and zipped off home… (my bro dropped luckily)

YUHOOOOOO!!!! Singapore was great but then this was home sweet home… its like a child being held in the hands of all people…. Around and then back to its cradle…. :) he he no exaggeration.. that s a true bangalorean speaking…… back to the familiar air water chaos traffic; one cup of dad made coffee and there I go crash on my own bed… that s a great feeling… jus not expressable at all….

I am not sure how long I slept for I dint understand where I was when I woke up…. I felt lite… very lite… and figured out the answers to the questions – where am I who am I ROFL….. went and spoke to friends cousins… and finally … the sick part :( started unpacking…. Ew … y do u have to do that.. I have always hated doing it… no matter I go for a day or ten… I jus don’t like that task… :( :(

Back to office ……… the routine starts… no offers… oh some one dint join…. Hey that report dint go …. U know a new project that requires me to work on the night times toooo :( ok … got it …. Reality…… thank god they atleast were ok for me to work from home in the night…..hufff I looked like a Zombie working day and night…….. too muchhh

AND THEN LIFE GOES ON……………

MA:1.02

My expedition began from the Monday morning….. I woke up to the foot steps of putti and the parents running behind her feeding and cleaning… etc.,…. While my BIL got ready to go to office he gave me a zillion instructions about wat to do wat not to do and how at any moment I could call him and he could guide me thru ….and not to worry… and my sis giving me details abt wat where wen why how… of the transportation and other things… I felt embarrassed for putting them thru the worry… but then ….i have to do it that way… :)


Now having cleaned the plate of heavy break fast packed bag for my day’s needs and off I went … I visited the famous Singapore zoo and quite dint understand if it was the spread of acres of land with so many animals left free… to live their lives…or if my understanding of a zoo was quite different and hence I was awed by it… I enjoyed the entire walk … I mean I spent the entire day in a zoo all I did was eat , drink coke … watch animals … and ofcourse click pictures… I honestly don’t remember spending so much time in a zoo surely….. but I enjoyed it :) The zoo had all kinds of birds (parrots with the colour one could not imagine) reptiles of the kinds that I dint know… and animals that I thought I would never get to watch from such a short distance… agree that it sounds a lil childish may be … I dunno I felt it was cooll and my fav pics are here :)

It was Sri Krishna Janmastami and my sis told me abt this Krishna temple where I must go and I did!! Yet another expedition found a friendly tamil speaking aunty around the place and she took me with her and gave me a tour of the place… and helped me with the darshan…. Now… I did use my linguistic skills somewhere.. dint I :)

My expeditions went on to the oh so famous - “UNIVERSAL STUDIOS” not to forget. I had the best time there… I played some really cool water games… and enjoyed every bit of the day and came home tired and ate and slept like a log. On the way back from Universal Studios they gave free transportation and I dint have to worry abt oh no wait… I got down at the right place only I dint know how to go home from there…. ROFL…. And so yes I finally called my BIL and told him …. Best was he asked me to explain how the place looked like and asked me to turn around and take the stairs down and go to the mrt :) and get into the metro ..heheheh cool na… ofcourse I could have done it … only dint take chance :)

Now me and my sis left putti with my BIL and went on one of our shopping spree… and had a lot of fun and looking around.. not sure if one can call it window shopping becoz we did buy some stuff ofcourse…. And came home and went to the beach….. ahhh the beach I loved the air …… the evening walk in the shores… awesome… and then came home and crashed….

They took me to two of the really beautiful places….one – THE ORCHID GARDENS; two – THE ORCHARD ROAD…… Here are some pics… but nothing from the orchard road since half the time I spent in my oohhh ahhh at the Louis Vuitton ; Gucci; and prada…… I guess I gave them a head ache.. for my BIL almost said y don’t u go buy one and get over with it…. And kept making fun of me…. all thru…. We went to the dunkins donuts  and ate some really lip smacking stuff and headed home….Now I would like to say that having a frapuccino from Starbucks and Donuts from the Dunkin’s are the couple of things… I really did like…..:)

I also spent a day off in between doing an absolute nothing the whole day other than eating talking to SIS and playing with putti and in the evening I thought it was stupid to waste a day while I was there and went to the Tampines mall again for a quick browse….:)

With the shopping done and the bags packed…. Wow…….. there I was in the fag end of the vacation….. a couple more hours……. Well I would say it was coolll I enjoyed had fun relaxed....... and done……!!!!!!!!!!!!
