sorry, sorry, sorry!!!

not that i think that all that many ppl are reading this! after all only ra commented on the fact that i haven't written in a while...
sigh! i am SOOO unloved!!! ha ha ha ha... sorry. again. as u may b able to tell I'm in a slightly hyper mood, so this is probably going to b a fairly weird entry.
so! the reason why it's been so long... well first there were EXAMS!!!! the dreaded disease none of us are able to evade till we leave school and college behind... and once those were done i had just a weekend to pack for hyd and sri lanka! whee!!! sri lanka was AWESOME fun. altho i must admit we didn't really see all that much of it. first we were staying at this really cool resort - called EDEN, that was by the beach. i ate SO much sea food!! other then that the food was normal 5 star fare... i guess it's pretty much the same everywhere! the only real diff was how cheap it all was! basically those two days consisted of swimming (in the pool, the sea was too rough! but the pool was really lovely!), eating (i must have gained a few kilos, but I've really been to nervous to check - heh heh, kidding. but I do feel like i may have gotten fatter... hmmm... not good), and lounging around. we also consumed a vast quantity of alcohol... well, not me personally, but as a group... mainly it was beer though... so none of us got smashed at any point ( a lil happy and tipsy yes - but not piss drunk. ever. which was a good thing. i have never been really, really smashed and do not choose to reach that point at any time - why would anyone voluntarily drink themselves into a stupor? or to the point that they feel even mildly sick? i just dont get it... in my opinion u have the most fun when u are aware enough to find all the other drunk ppl around u much more funny then they really are, but still not high enough to be one of the ppl who's doing the funny things - that they will no doubt feel embarrassed about the next day)
In Colombo we stayed at the Colombo Plaza, another five star joint. heh heh heh... That sounded like some thing dick tracy or one of those other old time private eyes would say... i think we spent most our day shopping here... not that the stuff u could get at any of the places we went to was all that radically different then anything u can get at home... but still... actually the duty free was the most fun to shop at. :) we also visited this club who's name i can no longer remember... they were playing fairly old music there... not retro, just old. as in the stuff that they were playing at spinn last year... or sometimes even longer ago then that. the weird thing is that they thought that stuff was fairly new!
i think one of the coolest things about sri lanka though is the cars!! they are awesome! since they dont have their own car manufacturers all their cars are imported!! i saw soo many BMWs and Mercs and even a few Jags! nissans and toyotas for them are as common as Marutis for us! it was a total trip... the weird thing is that there is hardly any two wheeler traffic... also there is absolutely no public transport! govt run i mean... it's all private! which means that the auto (or putput) fares have to b agreed upon before u get in one... otherwise, since there aren't any meters, u'll get fleeced. for sure.
apparently though... the racing scene there is pretty cool... they have dirt bikes not super bikes, but the cars are awesome... we didn't get to see one, which kinda bummed me and apsi out a lil, but there's always a next time i guess...
i really want to go back there one day... i have to see more of the place then we did! i don't feel like i got any idea of what the place or the ppl are really like. just an overall impression of the fancy stuff... not my idea of how to take a place in. but definitely a good holiday! :) relaxation wise especially. it was soo much fun. but I really wished my family had been able to come. there were these awesome looking lichties that they served every morning at the breakfast buffet. and altho i cant stand litchies i kept thinking how much K would've loved them!
one of the highlights of the trip was on the way back. we - each of us kids, got to sit in the cockpit of the plane for a while! we had to go in individually, and it was storming! it's possibly the coolest experience i have ever had! when i went in u could see the lightening forking across the windshield (is that even what it's called on a plane? i dont know) the whole experience was mind blowing. *happy sigh*
I'm definitely going to post some of the pics we took here... altho there really aren't that many. and of course we didn't get any from the cockpit... so, if ur interested, come check it out later. probably I'll put it as a separate link though... and not for a while coz i want to show them to my family while I'm there. and I'm pretty sure that if i stick 'em up here K will not be able to resist peeking *mock frown for sibling* :) heh heh...
hmmm... i think that covers the Sri Lanka topic... now i gotta talk about Hyderabad! actually i dont have that much to say. haven't been here that long. less then a week! and so far the only places I've been are home (I'm staying with Apsi and her family), work, and the club. and that last one for a tiny amount of time... just to pick up dinner on my first night here (before we left for sri lanka). will give u guys an update when i know more.
work is ok. so far I've got to do some work on Maya (yay!!!!! :D cool isn't it!) and a lil editing, which was obviously not that cool, since all editing is about the same, and i have never found it particularly interesting... i also did a lil work on Photoshop, cleaning up an image so we could use it as our texture for the Maya thing we're working on... and some copy correcting. but that was only coz i was bored and didn't have anything else to do, and it needed to be done. the net connection in office has been down since I got here. only started working this afternoon. and that is why I have not written till now. never have the time at home and of course I couldn't in Sri Lanka. I'm waiting around for Apsi to get here so that we can go to the club for dinner. feeling pretty starved actually. haven't had anything to eat since lunch!! poor lil constantly hungry me!
guess I'll stop now. coz altho apsi hasn't gotten here yet I've pretty much run out of stuff to say! :) he he he... bbye
