Brrrr... Happy New Yearrrr! :)

I've experienced winter in only two countries -- India and the UK.

And seven years in Singapore have taught me a big lesson. No matter how optimistic I am, it's high time I give up hope that Singapore will ever have a cold winter. Or just a winter, for that matter.

I need winter. I need to have a cold new year 2006.


The London winter almost killed me. Besides, I can't afford a trip out of Asia this year.

I have no leave left to go home for an Indian winter.


And Sayesha really needs a cold winterrrrrrrrrr
That won't kill her but will make her go brrrrrrrrrrr


So I'm off to a random cold place for a short while with a very dear friend of mine. Hope she survives the ordeal of being my travelling companion and listening to my nonsensical banter.

Happy New Year to everyone at Sayeshaz! :)

Will miss you guys!

Don't touch that dial. I'll be back soon! See you next year. Right here. :)

#Tinku,
Allah yeh ladka paagal ho gaya hai, koi sambhaalo re isko! :D

#The Anonymous,
Thanks! You too! :)

#Tinku,
Tho I only use up my precious chapaats on Ze Exaggeratorr, but you surely deserve one for this! Yeh le, CHAPAAAAT! :D

#Tinku,
Oye you have too many assumptions about me yaar! Pehle Virdi ka neighbour bana diya, phir south Indian bana diya, and now ECE from India???

Yeh ladka aaj Sayesha se resume likhwa kar hi rahega! :)

Arre yaar, I came to Singapore after my 12th boards in 1998. Did my EEE course in Singapore from 1998 to 2002. Been working as an editor of kids' books and a magazine from 2002 to 2005. Ho gaye na saat saal Singapore mein? Hisaab baraabar? Khush? Clear? :)

#Kel Tamashek,
Thanks! Happy New Year to you! :)

//You and your travelling companion be well. :)

Thanks! Haha! I think I'm gonna drive the poor girl crazy! She's never seen my 'on vacation' side! :D

Oh no no NO!!! Darn maths class! I missed my chance...gold toh kya, silver, bronze, copper, iron, steel, kucch bhi nahin mila! :| Never mind, there's always a next time! :D
COLD new year? It's freeeeeezing here...I'm wearing 2 pullovers and a jacket and still 'brrrrrrrr'-ing.
If it continues like this, time will freeze and there'll be no new new year...oh no! What am I thinking? :O

girl, you've got patience!!

Bhole said...

ritzkini said...

@sayesha
YAY ! for kuljeet !! What a super-sexy name too !! besides,DDLJ wouldnt have been so chocolatee if she kajol got married to whats-his-name "kuljeet" !
=))
Then again..it's a Yash chopu..theres only so much anti-climax you can hope for...
=))

Sayesha said...

#Raven,
Haan yaar, I wanted to reply one by one. It would have been very impersonal to say "All ye 50 people, happy new year!" :/

#Bhole,
Cool! On! :)

#Ritzkini,
Bas bauji, aapki baat paththar ki lakeer. Kuljeet it is then. Ab aapki Simran apne Raj ko bhoolne ki koshish karegi... haan thoda waqt lagega, lekin kya aap uski apni hi zindagi se usko yeh waqt nahin de sakte?

ritzkini said...

and baujee unable to handle the emotional blackmail,breaks into tears and shouts...
"Meri ma !! tujhe jo karna hai kar !! kuljeet,raj,baazigar,SRK, ya uska baap ! jo koi bhi ho uske saath bhaag,fly or plain sit !
bas mera peecha chod de !! baap kya banaa,khaamakha ki unnecessary tenshun !"
*now imagine that in amrish puri's voice !*
=))

Hahahahahhaahaha! :D
