Been painting the town red!

Yeah. The past few days just flew past and I realize NOW that I’ve been having the time of my life! Yeah, 2009 was celebrated with panache. I just remembered that word! How much more better could things get?! I even remember huge words! Woohoo!

So. After the New Year blast, I can’t help but look back and fondly recount every other detail AND tell you about it!

December 31st started out pretty normal. I mean, I didn’t realize till 7 in the evening that it was December the THRITY FIRST! The last day of the year!!

So, I quickly hurried home and asked dad to drink his tea fast and come buy stuff with me! And so, we went. We bought almost everything that was still available at 8 o clock.

I also bought a cake. A VERY delicious, black forest cake! Mmmm. I couldn’t stop thinking about it! =D

Turns out that we had this little party-like thing in our neighbourhood. Attended it, and had a WONDERFUL evening, talking away to glory.

That’s when I realised that I’m like my dad in almost EVERY aspect. Even talking! I was the only one talking and everyone else was listening. At one point, I thought I’d blabbered too much so I shut up and ate. =D

But that feeling lasted for about 2 minutes. There you go, I started all over again.

Hey, it’s not like I’m THAT boring a person. I can be boring around people (read: Wannabes and queen bees) who always, always want to talk about guys. Or talk TO guys. The more, the merrier. No wonder they change boyfriends, like, twice a week. :/

As if it were the brand of pens they used.

Anyhow. I came back home pretty late, but not THAT late. I started watching Clueless. And I stopped watching it after 45 minutes; I couldn’t stand it. So, I went and sat with dad. And then, slowly, the minutes started ticking by. I had been hogging all this while. Seriously, I’ve gained hell loads of weight! IT’s not like you wouldn’t when you drink half a Litre of coke all by yourself and then munch on choc chip cookies and eating Lays while watching some show on TV.

So, finally, it was TWELVE! Ta da..! =D

Happy New Year, folks! It’s 2009. ALREADY!
I cut the cake too! ^_^

2008 has been a really great year! VERY great - made new friends, realized a lot of stuff, got a new haircut, broke off some old friendships, had my fair share of fights, etc.
=)

So, that’s how Dec 31 went by. I slept at around 1, I think. 1 AM, on January the FIRST!

So, on the first, on 1.1.2009 (!), I woke up, took a bath and got ready for a party. I was looking.. normal. I wasn’t in party gear, that’s one thing. I don’t have any. Don’t snigger, okay? I’m fashion-sense less, duh!

The party was awesome! I didn’t eat a lot. Just drank coke (seriously, I’m addicted to it!), and danced. Danced like no one was watching. I’m not too coordinated or anything. Nor am I very confident. It’s just that sometimes, you want to dance. And this was one of those times.

Danced my heart away. And returned home by.. Jesus! I don’t know! I attended class (sigh). It was.. tiring. And I came back home, talked to one of my greatest friends (heh :P =) ) and went to sleep. And I got up at 1 PM the next DAY! That’s.. WILD!

So anyway, its past 3 AM now and I’m real sleepy. Hope you guys had a great New Year too. I wanna say so much more but it’ll take time and I really, really want to sleep.

~ Haffun, people. Hope you guys have a fun, fun year. =)

The Durga Puja, the Dance Competition, and friends. In short, loads of FUN! =)

So, I don’t know where to START. The past few days, weeks, actually, have been SO much hectic AND fun filled, that I’m at a loss of words! I mean.. I’ve had SO much to write about but so little time! Well. Happens. =D

Well, lets start with the Durga Puja thing. My friend, S, she learned Kathak for four years. So suddenly, on Saturday, she decides that she wants to take part in a Dance Competition that’s being organized by the people that sponsored the Durga Puja festival.

So, she starts the practice thing. And since her parents are busy too, she wanted me to come, to be the photographer. I mean, the camera-woman. No, wait, whatever. =D
She called me up.
Her: Yaar, aa ja na. Ive been practicing for an hour and my bro keeps telling me that I’m gonna make a fool of myself there.
Me: Hmm. Don’t listen to him, yaar. He’s a born pessimist. He’s TEH pessimist. Jeez. Worse than ME, of all the people.
Her: Abbey, to aa rahi hai ki nahi?
Me: I feel bloated. :/
Her: Bah. I’m sending someone to pick u up.
Me: Wait -

And then she kept the phone down.
I kept thinking that she HAD to be kidding, when suddenly, at around 10.. her parents come to my house to pick me up. Now, my mums like, Go beta, go. It’ll be fun! And I’m like.. but.. but.. but. =D

So, well, originally, I didn’t wanna go cos.. well, I’m plain lazy. But.. I changed my mind. So, when I reached her house, S was getting ready. She was wearing a saree, something close to it, I guess and she was looking PERFECTLY pretty! =)

Me: *hugs* Looking NICE! =)
Her: Thanks yaar. I’m scared. Having second thoughts and all. :s
Me: Nahi na, don’t be confused and all. You can do it. Remember, you can, you will? Aise hi soch na. =)
Her: Haan… pata nahi.
Me: Tu bass darr mat. Pehle lets GO there na!
So, we went to the Durga Puja thingy. I had the camera with me. I mean, to take pictures. But then I remembered ki I could take videos too! I mean, had I known earlier, I’d have taken the HandyCam only. Sigh. :/

So, I was trying to kid around cos I didn’t wanna see S all tensed up and stuff. So we took the most BHOOTNI-ish pics ever. With S’s Kajal (Kohl) and my teeth, haha. Even BhootUncle will get scared. xD

So, It was FINALLY her turn! YAY!

So, she went up the stage and I strated recording the video. S danced REALLY well. SO well, that there was a HUGE round of applause when the song stopped. Btw, she danced for ‘Mere Dholna’ from the movie – Bhool Bhulaiyya. One helluva song, and I had the whole thing recorded. So, we went to the green-room-like place again and I was like.. WOW that was GREAT! And S was smiling all modestly and stuff. It was a happy moment after all.

And so, at around 11 30, we started for S’s house. We walked! At ELEVEN THIRTY in the NIGHT! =D
It was TOO good. Awesome, seriously. We even made a video we call ‘wo pagalpanti wala video’ just cos we recorded the whole thing while walking at 11 30 in the night! Like, I wanted to upload it to YouTube cos it was pretty dark and anybody who watches the video can only hear our voices and maybe see my teeth (they’re pearly white), but cant see our faces. But S was like, nope no way. So anyways.

HAha. That’s about it – the durga puja part. Theres more coming tomorrow. Stay tuned (*gulp* what did I JUST say? :o)
Ive been watching too much TV. GAWD.

~ ‘Bout school and the new SurdKid in the bus, tomorrow! =)

psst.. S won the FIRST prize in the Dance Competition btw!! YAY! =) =)
