A great weekend

Hey, what a transformation!Five Ms Goody-two -shoes into just pals baring their soul to each other in a no-holds-barred converse!!

It was I (Jai grammer!) and 4 of my colleagues from office who decided to paint the town red last Saturday.And we did so very blithely.

The evening started with a drive to Bandstand .One of my friends is such a skillful driver-I expressed my envy at her mastery.After all, it was supposed to be a free and frank conversation with full expression of loves,hates,envies and admiration.

Then we made ourselves comfortable at a nearby CCD and oh boy!Did the conversation run for hours!I remembered the saying "Some people speak because they have something to say, others because they have to say something." Well, we happened to fit snugly in both the categories then.We talked feelings,events,scandals,tragedies,comedies........

An old couple sitting next to us was most distracted-the dear old lady giving us dark looks now and then.Whether at the noise or the content of our talk she never revealed:)

Our talk was interspersed with clicking of photos and drooling over them.Except for someone who felt she weighed a pound too many-and we tried to comfort her by pointing at our snaps......

Then we wandered along Bandstand looking at the lovely bungalows and lamenting the half-classical half-modernistic form of some of them.

Later, we drove to Mainland China at Sakinaka and wound up the day with a lovely meal .Truly,a day to remember!

"Have to say something ...something to say"...u bring in the right expressions at the apt time.

Guess if there was any other reason for the old woman to be annoyed with u lot? ;)

And when u said drooling over pics, i thought it must be of some hunks...but turns out ur all pretty narcissistic. But thats the way the world goes...Guys admire girls and girls admire....girls :D

you mean to say girls admire themselves?That is doubtless narcissistic, but then are girls not the creator's finest creation:)

The first presupposes the second :)
