Majulah Singapura ("Onward Singapore")

I was leaving India for the first time…and all by myself. I was eagerly waiting to experience the ‘other’ world. The child is me was in full zeal. The modus operandi at the Chennai airport was a bit lengthy though. I finally boarded the flight to Singapore, where my Hubby would be waiting to meet me. We would be meeting each other after 6 longgggggggg weeks (believe me it was definitely longer than what I expected). I received lecture from SV for more than 2 hours as to how I should tag along in Singapore Airport and locate him. The journey was short & sweet. I didn’t make any friends on the flight though. I was with mixed feeling until I finally SPOTTED him. God that day was heaven. I was totally mesmerized at the outlook of the airport; it was small world by itself. We comfortably reached SV’s friends place. I was more than eager for the next day to dawn…cos we were planning to visit ‘Singapore’; we just had 2 days to explore the place. And I guess we did a decent bit of sightseeing…Singapore Botanical garden, Sentosa, Jurong Bird Park, Little India and Mustafa Mart…each of these places was one of a kind and unique by itself!!! Also, I should mention about the food that I had at our friend’s place!!! She is a gr8 cook. I must thank Girish & Subha for helping us spend quality time. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.
Finally the day arrived when I had to leave Spore and head to Hong Kong. The journey was too good…guessed why, cos my hubby accompanied me this time and I had no worries whatsoever. I was in safe hands....

MARCH 9th 2008

I finally found my 'Better half' with whom I would share the rest of my Life .I consider myself the most gifted of all. Venkatakrishnan (SV) is one of a kind and very rare to find…Im happy that I met him…and things worked out between us.

It’s been a long journey to arrive at this decision….but it’s worth the wait. Otherwise both of us would have missed something valuable in Life. After facing lot of difficulties we finally arrived with the Wedding date…MARCH 9th 2008. This day turns out to be the most memorable day of my life…it marks the beginning of a new phase….new place, new people, new feeling, new experience….and of course creation of a new FAMILY….

Out Invite goes like this

“We do not believe in love at first sight
So, we decided to meet again and again till it happened

And now, bit by the love bug, we are ready to start a new life as Man and Wife.....

We would be happy if you could be there to be part of our happiness on the day our joy ride begins, the 9th day of March 2008. Please be with us for our wedding reception”

And then on the joy trip started with holding each others hands in togetherness…….

NEW YEAR

Bye bye 2007 and Welcome 2008

I celebrated the last of the year as usual at my apartments in our own traditional way. This year too I had the opportunity to host the New Year Eve function. It was good fun and more importantly a feeling of satisfaction. At 12’o clock sharp we put off all the flood lights and the association members held up candle lights, the New Year message was read along side. It was a delightful sight and I could sense new hopes building up. The whole idea was so professional and neatly done.

I am not sure whether I would be in the same apartment for the next New Year eve celebration. But I would still hold strong memories of the all gala time we had here (Its about 18 years now)

Happy New Year……..
