CozY BasH !

As my friend puts it, it doesn’t cost money to have fun, just time which you’ll remember later. This also reminds me of a new year I’ll never forget, that I celebrated with bunch of friends in our 2 bedroom apt in Southport, Gold coast. I forget the year, but all of us dressed to kill, rented a sports car, to go downtown and do some clubbing. It was little chilly so we closed the car top or whatever the right lingo for that is. On our way to downtown, we had a to make a quick stop at McD’s to grab a bite. We thought why waste the time and packed our food to eat in the car. Just as we got there, Jasbir, didn’t look too good, we asked him if everything was alright. Doubtfully he replied, I cant find the keys. We were like WHAT ! In frantic, we rushed back to McD’s to see if we left the keys there, everyone checked their pockets, purses etc etc and no sign of it, and suddenly jasbir yells, the keys are in the car, unfortunately due to some high tech alarm system, we couldn’t open it though the keys are in. It’s about 11.30pm on dec 31st, we called the rental car guy, he said he cant help us until next morning, we called cabs to get us to downtown, they said it’s little bit way off the route and they didn’t wanna come, the buses were only after an hour, in all we were stuck under the warm star lit sky in Gold Coast with no means to get anywhere except home, so all five of us walked back home, swore at each other for being careless, but with no means we thought we’ll make the best of what we could do. So, we made cocktails, dimmed the room, to loud music we played truth or dare, shared secrets, danced and partied till the crack of dawn. Will never forget that night…wherever you are Happy New year to friends to all of us who shared sweet times together.

Bah Humbug:

I’ve a list….well the word list brings a lot to mind but I’ll try to stick to what I’ve on my mind. It’s Christmas and new year time of the year and I’ve cards all addressed but still not posted, becoz of my compulsive feeling that I should give them my touch of festitvity, which I didn’t get to yet, and it’s already the 19th. And I’m expecting a large crowd to mob my home, so I need to revamp my living room, for which I’m not sure if I have enough time to go shop, let alone the energy. So in my mind I’m buzzing in and out of the stores and I’ve accomplished what I’ve on my to do list. But I’m not even close. This year I thought I’ll get a tree and do all the works but with heavy work schedules I didn’t get around that. So apart from what I’ve on my list, I’ve tons of reasons of why I couldn’t get them done. I’ve had a office luncheon on last Friday, dinner at my manager’s home last night, tonite I’ve a appointment in KOP and a happy hour at Maddies, tomorrow I’ve a Polyanna party at work and bingo, I don’t have any time to do what I need to. We have no vegetables at home either. Can use a helping hand badly? But most of all I miss my family and friends.

Great Guns !

Over the holiday weekend, I saw “Thank you for smoking”, this is a movie about the devil at its best. It’s a dry-satirical-walk-tall kinda movie. The guy has a - what you’d call the most hated job in the world. He’s a spokes person for the Academy of Tobacco Studies. Translation, he’ll tell you that smoking is good for you. There is a beautiful show of mind and words playing together. People who love to talk or are taken by the people who have the power of gab to convince that bad is good for you, need to see this movie. The brilliance in the razor sharp conversation is not to miss.

Rocky rocked !

On Tuesday nite, I wasn’t doing all too well, so after dinner, while trying to doze on the couch, I saw “Rocky” for the first time. I know I never saw the movie, not even the first, second, third I lost count how many sequels it has, but loved Sylvester’s acting in it. The moral of the movie, never judge a book by it’s cover. The best shot I liked is just after Rocky gets the invitation by Apollo Creed to fight him in the heavy weight championship, Mick (rocky’s old time coach who throws him out of league) comes back to Rocky.

The heated conversation between those two, with Mick’s head leaning on the door and tells rocky “this is the moment I’d been waiting for, I’m 73 years old, Rocky”.

All u hear from inside is the sound of a flush from the bathroom.

At that second the drain of energy you see on the coach’s face that he lost what he yearned for is lovely.
Then rocky running in the dark alley to get hold of him to patch up was so neat.
