We had a wonderful Saturday with Krish's friend Mohan and his wife, Vicky and their cute dog, Bheemar. They also migrated from Singapore last year.
It was an hour and a half drive to their place. They have a very nice place. Something that their dog could really run around. After lunch they showed us around to all the nearby suburbs. We also managed to meet Mohan's family. The highlight of the evening was the spicy briyani that we ate. I have been craving for a long time for the Alauddinbriyani. So we decided to have briyani. The 1st 2 shops soldout their briyani (it was a sign). We managed to buy from the 3rd place, an Indian restaurant. It is probably the spiciest briyani I ever had. All of us were on fire. Water from my eyes and nose and my ears got all blocked. It was very nice but really spicy. Only the gents managed finished their briyani.
I regret not taking a pic of Bheemar. Maybe next time. He is a 7 month old Jack Russell and a Pug mixed breed. It has a pug's look and a jack russell's energy. Can't imagine if its the other way round though. He warmed up to us pretty fast especially to Krishna.
We were over at their place till close to 11pm. A pity that Krish had work the next day. On our way back I began to get a nagging pain slightly below my collar bone. It began to get worse and by the time I got home the area was so swollen as though a monster is dying to burst out. Deep heat rub and hot compress didn't work.
It wasn't till the next day when we got to the doctor and took a painkiller it went off. The doc said I probably overworked the muscle. Krish said maybe I laughed too much after a long time. Haha whatever it is hope it doesn't come back.
At the end of the day I knew what we are missing most. Its not the food or shopping or conveniences in Singapore. Its spending hours just yakking about anything under the sun and moon with people whom you are very comfortable with. It does magic to your spirits. I'm sure many will agree.
I can't wait to get a bigger place to have a dog as a companion and have some friends over. Back home, I missed another good friend's wedding last Saturday. And it really saddens to think there will more but then again thats how life works for now. Thank god Im blessed with understanding loved ones. Oh yes from Sunday the clock went an hour back, end of daylight savings. So it will be 2 hrs time difference from Singapore. It will get dark very fast from now on. Alright I got to sleep, oops start I meant on my "Sleep" essay and presentation. Wish I could just sleep for my presentation. Haha.
