First & foremost, Happy 17th birthday deareast YuTing!! May god bless ya loads =)
sometimes i feel that am the smartest person around! dang!!
i took care to wake up early in the morning to make sure i reach hindi school on time, which i did actually! and tadaaaaa! there's nobody from my class besides me. Vaishnavi turns up in a short while and together we discover that indeed there's no lessons today. Why? because its Holi Celebrations. and this kind of things have happened to me like more than 2 times already. So smart right? Bugger!

Really feeling like such an idiot i tell u! for once i actually reached school on time. now thats really an achievement for me u know! stupid stupid thing to happen first thing in the morning!
am excited. no Not because of that little 'adventure' to hindi school. of course not!
Am going for holi celebrations later today. oh by the way, its today evening at about 4pm and is a short walk from Ferrer Park. Tickets are at $5, inclusive of i think colour powders and quite a number of stuff. Everybody is welcome to join in the festive occassion =)
For the benefit of our non-Indian counterparts, let me introduce the Indian festival-- Holi. Its a festival where even enemies become friends,supposedly. Basically its a really joyous occassion. Lets skip the origin of it ya? lets move on to the fun part =D
Its celebrated with lots of colours - colour powders, coloured water, water bombs (basically all the fun things). So in the end we are expected to get thoroughly drenched and coloured beyond recognition! haha.
Last time i went to the one near Kallang organised by the Singapore Gujrati Association. Yes we had lots and LOTS of fun!! And yes i got really wet and smeared with colours as well! but hey! i was spared being smeared with wet mud, which some lucky(i mean unlucky=p) people experienced. Some guys turned up in school uniforms- white shirt & white pants - and yes they didn't escape the colours either. Literally everybody was targetting the relatively-cleaner people. God knows who-who i smeared with colours. hehe =D
So am definitely hoping today's one would be equally fun, if not better. Actually it would be really cool to involve non-Indians in the celebration as they would get to take in all the fun first-hand. But sadly i couldn't inform my friends earlier. Its kind of a last minute thing for me.
Anyway yes yes yes am hoping it would be lots of fun.....and would make up for such a miserable thing to happen right in the early morning -_-
