Berjolly-jolly

Had a semester break last week and what a good break it was.

On Monday (The Queen's Bday), Phil, Lucius, Isaac and myself set out to cycle to the city. Twas a lovely trip. We took our time. We arrived at Mill Point an hour later, had kebab breakfast and cycled back alot faster surprisingly, considering there were more uphills on the way back. God knows what went into those kebabs.

We repeated the feat on Wednesday with Mun tagging along. This time it was all the way up to King's Park, which is pretty high up I must say. The slope leading to King's Park seems to conjure up images of torn thighs, searing butt injuries, and testicular damage (then again , I do have an active imagination). Only Isaac went all the way, the rest of us just brokedown after the halfway point. When we got to the top, we found a nice spot in the shade and just took in the scenery, while replenishing our fuel stores. About 20 mins later, we cycled to China Town(northbridge) for Dim Sum with some friends. Needless to say, it just made us more groggy and sluggish for the return journey home, though we enjoyed every scrumptious morsel, hmmmmm.

The rest of the week was filled with work at the shop, badminton, soccer, celebrating Lucci's bday (at Freo and our house, where Sanjeev concocted a new drink, Laguna Blade. Just a pity that Lucius was the first victim ,hehe) and oh yea Pasar Malam at both Curtin and UWA. Simply lovely. ALMOST made up for the Buka Puasa stalls back home. It was a week of joy and literally no worries.

Now's its on to 5 weeks of uni straight, then study break, then exams and finally home. Should be good.

Was reading the Star online today and this headline caught my eye;
Listening to wives more, curbs nagging says expert

Bloody hell!!! Do we need experts to tell us stuff like this? Whats even more infuriating is the fact that they probably get paid shitloads to put sentences like that together. Sadness man. Has the world turned so cynical that even the media are speaking to us in a condescending tone.
Now, don't misunderstand me, I totally agree with that statement, but do we really need an expert to tell us that. Waste of talent I say.


On a lighter note, my mum told me that there is a wedding in the family (well extended family and being Indian, that usually means someone you have never heard of or met in your life, but thankfully in this case I know who it is). It's the wedding of a distant cousin brother to put it simply and it's in December. I do enjoy weddings I must say, especially when most of your family is there. It's also a damn good chance to cuci mata, ahem ahem. So yea some stuff to look forward to.

Go and watch this movie, Water, it's a hindi show, but with none of the usual tacky coconut tree dancing scenes and teleportation powers owned by the dancers. This movie actually has substance. No regrets. Look it up on imdb.com.
It's suppose to be spring, but winter is not going down without a fight as cold rain fell today and is suppose to continue till Wed. But it's nice to have the rain put you to sleep

To end, listen to La Cienaga Just Smiled (Ryan Adams), Rebellion (Arcade Fire) and Tangled Up in Blue (Bob Dylan).
