I'm back!

Hi everyone,

Wow, that was a long absence from my blog. I really hate leaving it here without any posts on it, because even if no one reads my blog anymore (and I wouldn't blame them, I never update!), I love to keep it as a personal record of what I was thinking and doing. I love looking back over my entries from 2005 and seeing how much has changed, and how much has stayed the same.

Anyway, I have to thank the lovely Minal for waking me from my blogging slumber, because she has given me an award! (my first ever blog award!). And tagged me as well.. so here goes..

1) What is your current obsession?
Well I was going to say that it is reading wedding or baby blogs, but that is not a current obsession, it's a 3-year old obsession! :) My current obsession is definitely studying. I am in the last semester of my undergrad degree and want to graduate with an average over 85%.

2) What are you wearing today?
Navy blue jeans brought from the children's section (I'm too small to fit adults jeans properly :P), a new light pink top that reminds me of when I was a ballerina as a child, and a World Youth Day 2008 hoodie.



3) What is for dinner?
Well, I'm living at the uni college, so it will be something yucky no doubt :P I miss home food!



4) What is the last thing you brought?
The light pink top that I'm wearing.



5) What are you listening to right now?
Far Away by Libera. That choir has the most beautiful sound...

She's nice to remember that I still blog! She loves Mumbai, and cricket, and she is going to cook me some yummy Indian food when I come visit her one day ;)



7) If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Goodness. There are too many places! Let me list...

3) Punjab, India. H. has said that one day when he is married (to me ;) ) and we have kids, he wishes to rebuild his house from childhood so his kids can have the same memories as he did. I would want to do this just for him.

something beautiful for God ..

That you love a girl
or that you love a boy
is beautiful,
but don't spoil it,
