Sunway College...

Went back to college with Kohila to meet the lecturers yesterday, but only managed to talk to 2 of them. Quite a number of teachers who taught the 2006 cohort has left. Jay, Pn Suhana, Ms Lillian... and Ms Santhi is no longer in Ausmat, though she's still in Sunway... But anyway, it was still good chatting with her and Mr Pathma. I suppose it was not the best of times to meet Ms Ruma or Ms Vanitha as registration for the programme was going full steam ahead.
Lunched at Orange and had soya bean drink from the uncle in front of college. Then went back to Pyramid to eat Yogi-yogi. Yum. Left Pyramid at around 4.30 and reached home at 7.
Kohila gave me this really good book for my birthday. Mitch Albom's For One More Day. It's touching and heartwarming and has the Mitch Albom touch so obvious in his prior works. (Tuesdays with Morrie and Five People You Meet in Heaven) Thank you very very very much dear! The other day at Curve's Borders, my sister was just pointing out that book to me... she has the other two books. So, I am ecstatic to have received this gift. Thanks dear!
On another note, I have about 2 more weeks home. This holidays seem to have just flown. And pimples seem to have found an affinity to my face. Sigh... ah well, here's to a brand new start this term!

Childhood games...

I was strongly reminded of the game 'Pepsi Cola' that my siblings and I used to play with our friends when I saw this group of children playing it in the neighbourhood today. Their childish laughter and the simple joy of being able to step on another player's toes made me feel... warm and goo-ey. LOL. But it was worth it. The simple pleasures of childhood, eh? Where there was no such thing as race, religion, no awkwardness between genders, just pure joy, innocence and friendship in the company of others.
I know I've been neglecting my blog... but there's not much to blog about really. Life is good rest and relaxation back home. Which is actually the main point of having holidays, I feel. Heh.
Anyway, this is a little late, but HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Welcome, 2009! May it be one of blessings, LOL.
