Yesterday was a good Sunday, which was superbly welcome after the terrible Saturday (we clean on Saturday.) A couple of friends, who are also a couple, surprised the husband by dropping in. From India. Awesome. Merriment ensued ( Read more... )

friends, daily events

Yes, I am better now. Joined work last Thursday and checked with doctor before meeting all the friends. Yes, red is from the LJ world and was in your city until this Saturday. :)

Hmm...interesting question. I could write pages after pages on this subject.

Well, life is easier in some ways here. Things work. Transport, civic amenities, and the daily needs stuff. However, I miss having friends and family around. I miss having a maid/help (I am going to find one soon. Somehow.)Life in Hyderabad was very comfy thanks to the short distance to work and a couple of great friends we had there. But I guess, I shall wait and watch. Give this new place some time. :)

Being a vegetarian, it's really hard for me to imagine someone having such a monstrous creature like octopus but i'm sure it wont as hard for a seafood lover. Reading through your blogs (atleast the 1st page) I cudnt figure out
the place where you are staying currently (just out of curiosity ), as we meet or get to read about someone in the ubiquitous online world, we tend to ask ASL (i could remember doing that when i started chatting). I could figure out A and S part here, but not the L. Kindly ignore if you would like to be anonymous.

Hardly anonymous, I am. Half of the friends know me in real life here. Anyhow, I understand that my gender is written all over my LJ, however, how did you guess my age? I am really interested in knowing what and how. Please tell. :)

I am currently in Singapore. Moved recently.

I am not interested in eating anything raw or an octopus again. When I gathered courage to try sushi at the breakfast buffet during my stay at Orchard, I chickened out at the last moment got myself some spinach sushi. Seriously. :p

I had another interesting meal this afternoon. From the Japanese counter, I ordered a mini shabu-shabu. I went for the veg option so I got a lot of veggies - three types of mushrooms, carrots, lotus stem, green leaves, cabbage - dipped in a broth and served in a wok with fire lit under it. It came with a bowl of steamed rice and some spicy sauce. Much awesomeness. Wish we could explore all these things together. :|
