wow. haven't blogged for like what, two weeks... although time is completely on my side.
just that i have other- er- obligations, indulgences and idiosyncrasies to ration my time to. especially since i've just modded the psp, its starting to follow me everywhere i go. well... until boredom hits! haha

dad just came back from mumbai. lotsa funny experiences over there.
their prata is called paratha which tastes blander than shit, there's one famous star Amita Bajan who appears in every advertisement, and his 3-floor terrace house is considered a tourist attraction because the rest of the residences nearby are slums.

and lastly dad brought back a bottle of ENO from his apartment cuz he didn't use it.


looks normal... but on the reverse,

it says there
INGREDIENTS (per 5g): SVAJIKSARA (SHUDH) 2.94g, NIMBUKAMLAM (SHUSHKAM) 2.06g

hahah i can just imagine this guy saying it.

HAHAHA i dont even know why i took a pic of this guy last time. thats the S01 class tee btw.
and i dont dare take the ENO

sigh... what timing. dar leaves just as jema returns, and i leave just as he comes back, and i return on christmas day which may well be halfway into the class chalet, if there is.

but no doubt, i sure am looking forward to enjoying the spanish christmas coming with my family :)

a date with mom. mum.

dad was invited to a UniSIM alumni movie event for two at vivomax, but since he's in Mumbai, I went with my mum. there was quite a spread too (aha!) what with the mix of east and west... including mini-soon kueh and walnut brownies. been a long time since i spent time out with my mum, other than dinners at the meepok stall. not that i've just read For One More Day and want some kind of proactive justification. its because my dad had the tickets, and the book's (thanks dar/eugene) made me realize that it's really stupid to think of an outing with my mum as something only a mama's boy does. and i most definitely do not have the oedipus complex.

Stardust was not bad, i quite like the fantasy part (as i usually do) but what i didnt like was the occasional quips and remarks that sort of jerk you back to earth and affirms that this is a film, remember! it can't be real. so in the end it turns out to be something like a comedy (yeah there were enough funny parts) with a poke of fantasy. my completely subjective rating: 3/5.

then watched UNREST with t4 the next day. quite a weird consensus considering it was initially a choice between a family show or a fantasy show. ended up watching a horror flick. i still can't really forget the cadaver's face. argh! how come they don't have Delete Temporary Files for the brain.

the day after is Deepavali (Happy Advanced Deepavali(?) to all!) and a long weekend... then after that i'll probably be looking forward to December leave period :)
