The Hair

Due to curious and exciting response to my ‘bad hair episode’, I’ve decided to upload some pics which were taken over the last 48hrs for illustration purposes. Oh well, in my defense, I still think tht it looked real bad on the evening of the hair-cut as opposed to now. Either tht, or my fringe-hair decided to grow a li’l faster than usual ,knowing very well how depressed I was that evening! *giggles.

Friendships

There are some friends you’ve known all your life. e.g childhood friends. There are some friends you meet at your workplace e.g colleagues. Then, there are some friends whom you meet randomly and click instantly and discover that you have so much chemistry and similarities with each other. You find tht you can relate to each other like you’ve known her all your life. Such is the bond I have with a very special girl.

Dhurga’s her name and over de last w’kend, she had come to my place to spend a nite with me. The following are chronicles of what two crazy girls were up to all w’kend. My excitement probably kicked off from Friday night. I wanted D’s stay to be as pleasant as possible and hence, I set -up the ‘guest-room’ to make it look as pretty as a hotel-room! Hehe…oh well, I set myself high-standards ! *laughs.

Preparing toiletries and towels and  basic amenities seemed so much fun. Even Robz got ‘infected’ with my playing-hostess behaviour and started checkin’ every light bulb in the house to see if they were functioning so as to ensure tht D walks into a house lit up with bright lights and not darkness. Yes yes, we were both very excited and we hardly have visitors over! *sigh.

On Saturday, the first thought in my mind as I woke up was . . . D’s comin’ today! Yipppppppppie! Robz and I were off to our usual Saturday-morning-routine –> havin’ Yong Tau Foo at the local market. This time, I insisted on buying fresh flowers. Nothin’ adds colour to a home more than a fresh bouquet of roses and orchids. Even my florist was surprised that I bought TWO bouquets instead of the usual one bouquet. I explained to her that a very special guest was comin’ over and I was preparing the home for her.

Then, Robz and I proceeded with grocery shopping. Hours passed by, and I got dressed and it was time to meet up D. We sped off to Megamall, our usual haunt . Spent all afternoon at the food-court chatting away non-stop. People nearby us must’ve wondered if we’d EVER keep quiet for a moment. She bought me a very pretty clock (that fits in so well with the rest of de deco in our hom) and also a gorgeous photo frame with an enlarged pic of Robz and me (one of those funky studio shots taken during the wedding season!).

By then, it was time for my Piano Class at church. D followed me and sat nxt to me as I taught my students piano. An hour later, we were back home. Guess what we were up to? Robz has always urged me to learn how to make chapatti as he’d like to start eating chapatti at home instead of high-carbs-filled-rice. D knows how to make chapatti and hence, the two girls got busy in the kitchen preparing the dough. Had lotsa fun cookin’! *smiles

Then, we were off to B’sar Village. Checked out the New Wing, which certainly seems fascinating to me! I mentally reminded myself that I’ll hafta come back ‘ere to check de shops out in more detail and depth in time to come! Hehe…

Had dinner at Anjappar. D’s vegetarian and Anjappar was the first place I could think of. After a very very very heavy dinner, we took a light stroll to the car park, which must’ve surely aided the digestion process a tad bit.

The moment we reached home, we went upstairs and had so many stories to talk with each other. Gosh, I’ve lost count of the number of topics we covered in one night! Talked and talked and talked. Robz felt a li’l left out with all the girly-chat and decided to pick up one of his favourite DVDs and rest on the couch instead.

Finally, it was bed-time as we had an early start the nxt day. Sadly, we parted and went off to sleep.

Sunday morning was indeed an exciting morning, as I took D to church. D’s neva been to church in her entire life. Interestingly, this particular Sunday was a hugely significant day at our church as it was the ‘installation/registration’ ceremony of our new priest. The Anglican BISHOP of West Malaysia was present,too! D feasted her eyes on the rainbow of colours of sarees and procession of choir members, priests, etc in church. Hours passed by at church and by the time we realized , it was time to send D back to B’fields to her Aunt’s place. Sadly, with a heavy-heart, we hugged each other, promising tht we’d keep in touch and meet up soon.

Upon havin’ completed this blog, I realize tht this ’story’ would only be of particular interest to both D and me. To the others who bothered reading it up to this part, you’d probably be stiff-bored ‘coz this was purely a narration of my entire w’kend, spent with a dear friend.

Oh well, when I was younger, I’d pen down significant moments into my diary. Years later, I grew out of tht habit. And then I discovered the world of BLOGGING.

I realize tht I don’t necessarily have to blog ’bout somethin’ sensational and exciting all the time. Fact is, life ain’t all tht glamourous and exciting for us, mere mortals! Haha. There are mundane moments and there are some passionately exciting moments. To be able to narrate each of these moments into a blog, is what I aspire to do. Hence, to you folks out there, hope you aren’t disappointed.

As far as I’m concerned, I had a  marvellously splendid w’kend and I’m glad I managed to put it in black and white whilst the memories are still fresh in my mind. D, I love you lotssssss and I know you’re going to be reading this blog-entry ‘coz you ALWAYS read all of my blogs. We’ll have to meet up again, honey! *hugssssssss n kisses
