Spell bound!!!

Hello people!!! Hope you guys had an awesome weekend and kick started the new week with as much vigour and enthusiasm as i did. University reopened yesterday and puffed out all the energy that i had gained in these 3 months, in just one day!! Bah!!! But i am enjoying running around campus, dashing into my friends in the canteen, library, lecture hall and at the bus stop and bet you, they can just not afford to miss commenting on my new rajasthani-knitted bag, that i am showing off proudly!!! Before i leave back home for winter vacation, i guess i will have atleast 5 gals asking me to bring back one such bag for them. And yeah, today is independence day, i am planning to wear a nice Indian salwar and walk into class!!! Hehe :)


Okay, talking about independence day, i just thought i would share this piece with you. S'pore celebrates its National Day on the 9th of August. There is an awesome parade that goes on in the evening and in the nights, there is an amazing display of fireworks by certain countries. Last saturday, i managed to catch the last fireworks show at the nick of it. I went along with 2 of my school friends (we are now in the same uni too!!!) and managed to capture some really breath-taking pics. Here they go....


The lit-up building to the right is the Esplanade (Theatre by the bay, the call it). Its also nick named the Durian, b'coz it resembles a fruit named durian.



This was the most splendid part of the whole show!!!! It was like the skies were being ripped apart!!!


There goes another!!! Almost the whole of S'pore was here to witness the show!!!


Also, i was beginning to smell crackers!!! I simply love that smell. It reminded me of Diwali. I wasn't in India for Diwali last year and wont be home this year too :( This time, when i left home, my lil cousin asked me if i would come bk for Diwali. When sadly said no, this is wat he told me, " Dunt worry akka, i will send one big rocket from here!!!" I could do nothing but marvel at the little one's sweet words and simply smiled back at him in awe.


Anyway, saturday night lit up my spirits and brightened my hopes as much as the fireworks did to the skies that night. I felt it was my perfect beginning to the new semester!!! Great rite???!!! I hope to be back pretty soon with something interesting. Till then, wish me luck, 'coz, i am goin to start my new project on snake venom tomorrow!!!! Hissssssssssssssssssss!!!! Hehe :) I am sure i am going to be sprintering around the lab on my toes for fear of any snake to pop out of some jar!!! LOL!!! Ciao.... Take care.... Huggggggggggzzzzzzzzzzz !!! :)
