redsoton/pink elephant

fung lin and i just dyed our hairs red !!! when i rinsed the dye out of my hair i felt like my head was menstruating! hehe..

.. its not that red, im dark haired so its got sorta reddish tinge. the color we used was ultra-violet dark red.

********************************************************

i am currently visiting my darling friend lin in southampton. i had to wake up SUPER duper early on saturday to catch my flight, which was at 8.35AM, so i had to leave at like six thirty to get to the friccin' aire-porttt..... and i took the tiniest plane ever !! well, the smallest i've ever been in anyway... i flew with this cheap airline, british european or something like that.... when i say cheap, i mean relatively cheap, because i am going to be broke after this weekend. i am NOT travelling anywhere till xmas , amsterdam 2 weeks ago wiped me out clean, so i figured how much more broke could i get right??

oh and the strange thing abt soton airport, there is a bus that picks up passengers from the entrance and drives them to the car park, its a shuttle bus that leaves every 15 minutes or so.. thats not the strange part, its called PINK ELEPHANT BUS. but thats not the strangest part either. the car park is across this very teeny street. like 2 minutes away. and there are trolleys. and its no huge mid-valley like car park. why on earth would someone have a bus??

i seem to have a lot of questions today, actually for the past few days. sigh. i think too much...

anyway, as if i wasnt broke enough we went shopping !! it was blissful !! i havent been shopping in ages, i got a cute new bag, and cool top and a pair of gold heels.. *content sigh* ... we're going shopping tom too hehehe..

.... last night we got drunk, i was actually more drunk than lin and we both had the same amount of alcohol : wine and 3 tequila shots. what is happening to my alcohol tolerance???? (another question) we went to this club called the bambuubar, the music was fantastic !!!!!!!! i had to pee halfway so i was waiting for a lame song to come on, but it dint happen !! it was all my favourite tunes, one after the other... so nice.

*************************************

this morning lin woke me up at 9.30 (what the hell?) cause she found jane austen's tomb in this cathedral and we had to go to winchester, she said , "i dint find that tomb for nothing u know"... i dragged myself out of bed, she was kind enough to make me some mocha and we got cracking... i was sooooooooooo hungry by the time we got ther (one hr bus ride) but we dint eat right away, (WHY???) shit another question-i must stop.... we saw king arthur's round table, it was on the wall not on the ground, that is something i dint get.... but my stomach won the battle and i dint bother bugging lin abt it.

we also had to take photos with this pig before we ate. i'll post the pic on tabs soon. u gotta see this pig.

we had sunday roast at this pub, god i was so grateful for food. i think i actually remembered to say my prayers...

after that we went to winchester cathedral, saw the tomb, and a whole lot of other tombs as well... all these kings and queens and their bones etc etc...

when we got back to southampton, we went straight to sleep.... of course 3 hrs later my dear friend made me get up , but it was for dinner so thats okieeee....

yawn. sleepiness is overwhelming now. i better get to bed....where is my toothbrush. her room looks like a warzone since i been here, we have clothes and shoes and everything strewn everywhere... hehhe, im having such a great time.

gay game

last nite i went to this really cheap chinese restaurant with nik and sudha, we had such a lovely conversation about the future and i eloborated on how i want my 3 marriages to turn out.. sudha thinks that the last one will be with my ex-bf, with whom i was going out with for 4 years (yes i do realize it was definitely a Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong term relationship), she is not the only one, quite a few of my friends truly believe that. not that he will be my third husband, but that at the end of the day he'll be the *one*. im only 21, i dont want to even think abt just ONE guy, even if he is the ONE.. god forbid he be the ONE.

anyway, we chatted for abt 3 hrs and then sudha and myself decided to play a prank on nik and we told him that we were going out (as in me and sudha) and that we were confused, cause we were both straight but there was this attraction between us.

Nik: you guys did EVERYTHING??

me: yeah...

Nik: no like... all of it

me: uh-huh.

(sudha was covering her mouth the whole time cause she was afraid she was gonna laugh, i did a pretty good job, if i may say so myself)

he totally FREAKED OUT... sudha and i are both good friends with nik, and the fact that he totally went bananas... well some ppl are homophobic.

then we asked him what we should do, if at all it worked out, should we tell the others.. i e other friends... and it turns out most of our friends r not exactly open to same-sex relationships. oh yeah one of the ppl we ticked off was the guy i am currently dating, mr.ACP. apparently he doesnt even like it if a guy taps his arm. i did not know this, cause in feb when i was in my 'i think i want 2 be a lesbian phase' he was very supportive.... but that was before we were a couple.. i wonder how he would react now...

anyway back to last nite... nik told us that he wouldnt tell anyone. and we thanked him for that.. and then we kissed !!!!!!!! it was like.. we stopped walking.. and we just kissed, it was a short one cause.. well we're not used to kissing other girls.. nik started swearing and now he REALLY freaked out... he was so freaked out sudha decided to tell him we were just messing.. i was really disappointed cause i wanted to wait AT LEAST a day !!!!

... after we told him. he was still freaked. poor fella... hehehhe

apart from scaring guys, i have not been studying.. so guess what ill be doing this weekend?? plus boyfriend has gone home for the weekend so ill be pretty free with noone to sit with and 'touch balls' (apparently there is a spanish phrase that means 'to do nothing' and is directly translated as 'to touch balls')

oh time for class... drat

cheap wine

i dont know if it was the fact that i had a tiny dinner or that my alcohol tolerance has gone down, but i got tipsy on ONE glass of wine !!!!

It was fresher's nite for med students at this bar: Bo Jangles, 6euro got you med soc membership and free wine...  by the time i got there (which was still pretty early) they had pretty much almost run outta wine so i only had to pay 3bucks... good for me cause if i had had another class i would've been flat on the floor.

Despite the shameful low alcohol tolerance for the night (i will have to give up my punjabi name now) i had a pretty good time, the music was EXCELLENT.. all my fav songs... but noone wanted to dance with me *sigh* why is life so hard... of course in the end i did get on the dance floor, and some first meds introduced themselves (i tot that was mighty nice of them) and then they asked me if i was a FIRST med (????) hello, im in my third year... but no worries, this one girl told me im a good dancer. im a sucker for compliments. i just love flattery. hehe.

oh and when i got home, plopped my handbag on the counter top, got some water, then when i grabbed my bag, i grabbed it upside-down, spilled all the contents of my bad on the HARD kitchen tiles... poor mobile, and i broke my compact powder... as in the powder itself broke into pieces. i keep breaking things.. sigh. thank god i dont have a child.

anyway, off to the movies with Jo. and i havent had mcdonalds in ages, neither has Jo... we're gonna go break 'the fast'
