Waking up to reality...

Hellllllloooo people!!! Hope u guys had a nice week and headstarted your weekend!!! :D Well, my week was decent. Finally, i got myself to work and yeah, so far so good! Also, my cousin had his betrothal this week. My entire family was down there, having fun (not as much as they would have, if i were there - i assume so!!), eating like gluttons (i am sure they did, they cant deny it!!!). And I was in my room, alone, enjoying the pleasant s'pore weather with a few slices of garlic bread and a glass of tea and yeah, working on my statistics assignment!!! Whoa!!! I couldnt get to believe it was me. Family functions are something that really turn me on. I get really freaked out, planning what to dress, what job i am assigned to be doing and stuff like that!

Well, this time was quite an exception. I was excited about everything. Alright! But still, i guess i was trying to suppress that feeling. In a way, it was masked by my fear and worries of missing the fun on the D-day. I didnt want to be that emotionally shaken girl who would sit down in the corner of the room and weep for being so far away from home on such an occasion. Infact, i was consoling my cousins and aunties who were missing me. I asked them to enjoy the food while i am not around, awakening them to the fact that i wouldnt have left anything for them to eat, if i were there. More than anyone else, i guess my parents were missing me the most. Imagine, when all other uncles and aunties swarm the hall with their children and discuss about what each one of their kids is upto, while my dad and mom have nothing else to say, except that their daughter couldnt make it to the engagement.


Hmm.. well.. my dad and mom were updating me about all that was happening there, to the extent that, my dad dailed direct from his mobile and was describing how each one of my cousins, aunties and uncles were dressed! OMG!! That was kinda crazy. But before he hung up the phone he said, "Nothing much is happening here. Dont worry. You can make up for it during the marriage. Now relax and get back to your work. Take care!" I dont see how better he could have put that. Infact, i feel we were tryin to console one another. I was asking my parents to chill and not bother much about the eternal question of their missing daughter, that would keep bouncing back on them as they dash upon each one of our family members. I instructed them to give no explanations and simply told them to repeat these words, "Enjoy the food while she is not around!"


Personally, i feel that this, to some extent, does show signs that i am infact growing up to be that strong, mature and "cute" woman that i want to blend myself into, without losing the excites-for-nothing and hyperactive girl that i always wish to be. :D Well, apart from all these, i am working as a student guide in the nobel museum hosted by my university this year! Its been lots of fun, especially the group tours that i gave for school kids!!! And guess what??? Today, a lady from the university newsletter came up to me and began shooting questions at me. In short, she was interviewing me!!! This is the first time i am being put through such a situation. But thank god, i didnt say anything stupid except for one question which went like this. She asked me why i chose to be student guide for the nobel exhibition and i said, "Oh, well.. i guess this is the closest i can get to the nobel prize!!" I dont know how good or bad an answer that was, but it was for sure a very frank and spontaneous answer that escaped my lips. I am just waiting to see the museum manager's reaction when he reads that article!!! :P

Well, thats it for now...i've got lots more assignments and lessons to catch up.. i will see ya guys soon.. till then.. take care.. have fun.. hugggggzzzzzzzzzzz!!! :)

p.s.: hey.. i forgot to tell u guys that i played pool on diwali!!! First time!!! Was wonderful and i enjoyed it.. so now.. who wanna play pool wid prithz??? :P
