And Reality Sets In

Well, that certainly was a nice intro to the post!
I'm sure you already are a great friend to many and just have to continue being that with me. And I think remembering my birthday and doing a post give you points for it. Even if it may seem unnecessary at this point, I thank you very much!
Now, on to the birthday description -
Part 1: Had a little party with my cousins (who live in the building next to mine) and uncle since he wasn't around for the actual day about a week early, that was really fun. The cake I cut was very creamy but not very great.
Part 2: The actual day was pretty sober (I mean simple, not that I get wasted on special days or something). Went out in the evening with a friend (who lives in the 'society' next to mine) to get ourselves a 'Bombay Roll' or 'Frankie' so I could buy myself a cake. It was good. :) Though a tensed one, it was still a very nice day.  


Part 3: We'd recently bought the 'Game of Life' game for my parents' anniversary to  play together. The friend has two other really good friends who also I am very chummy with (they've just joined college). The three of them, me and a classmate had been planing to meet up since forever and I thought they could come over to play the game. They refused every time I asked. One afternoon, I opened the door, half asleep, only to find all four of them at my doorstep giggling at how awkward I felt. It was a surprise party that my mother and brother were in on, and the plan for which was initiated by Chitra (or C-Dawg). So we played the game and cut the cakes they made for me. And had fun, duh.

Now, my gifts! I got a set of speakers and the entire Vampire Academy series, both of which I asked for (re-read the entire thing YAYY). And, my brother got me a ukulele! I haven't had much time but I'm just getting a hang of the strumming. One day, I will play beautiful melodies that shall  move you to tears.

Your cousin sister probably grew up in India. I, however, have to pray that I live every time I cross the roads. I did learn to drive a scooty a few years ago; I can't control it without my brother balancing the weight behind me. I did learn to properly ride a cycle this year though. We had an 8-day school trip to Jim Corbett, where four of the days required about 85 km worth of cycling across mountainous and other terrible (and occasionally wonderful) terrain. I learnt to cycle in school a day before the trip and learnt the rest of it while I was ON the friggin' mountains. It had to be the scariest thing ever - I kept imagining losing control, the cycle flying off over the side of mountain and me dead. And even worse, hitting other classmates or something, so we all end up dead or injured. I used to walk the uphill bit the first two days, but soon, I did it all. And i was the face of inspiration and determination and all of that. And hell, I had to be - I was awesome! 

If you remember, I did mention to you once that I had a pretty major crush on you a while back, making stalking you quite normal (and a little creepy?). And you would post nice stuff too, which is why I occasionally, even now, do skim through your profile. Note: NOT stalk - only skim. :P 

Would it now be weird if I say that I saw those pictures? Cz I did. I went to Ferrari World around the time it opened up and even if it must be better now, a night stay at the Burj is waaay more awesome! 

I wouldn't mind a coup except that the President happens to be a really good friend of mine (the one who was pivotal in throwing the party) (and supposedly, my future husband according to schoolmates, yeesh). Khaki shorts are pretty funky but they are not something you want other schools to see you in when you want to be taken seriously. Plus, out winter uniforms have khaki track pants and really comfy navy blue sweatshirts, making it look like a night suit. Doesn't help what with the dreary skies. But even worse, kids ninth and below have NO uniforms and by the time the current 9th graduates, the entire school has NO UNIFORMS. Ugh, how will they represent the school outside?! We did take this issue up as part of the Council but had to set it aside to do more important things.  

I really do want to watch Game of Thrones but no time! I don't even turn on the tv. I know you haven't watched Castle; I haven't either. I think I'm just going to let my list of movies and shows build up so I either watch them over weekends or when I am done with school. (Makes me feel wistful saying that :$)  

Watched Spider-Man this week; it was nice (Emma Stone, duh) but I began to get annoyed towards the end - just never seemed to get over. I knew there was something you told me about Marvel movies that I was supposed to remember. Thankfully, I did. Waited near the exit to watch the scene after the credits. :) Also watched Madagascar 2. Now that was quite nice! I love the Inheritance Cycle too though I haven't read the last one. The most recent stuff I've read is The Hunger Games, the Vampire Academy series (YAYY) and these Camila Lackberg mystery novels that are very gripping. 

Haha the picture! I was up late answering calls and studying. I wouldn't call my summer break great, but it sure was good. School started with the exams but we were given a week of holidays issued by the govt (cz of heat) after they were over. Yay. I hope you have a great one though! How's the interning coming along? You still haven't called, just saying.  : p
