It's the time of the year agn. X'mas. So once agn, like every other yr, I almost drowned today...with chocolates!!! 1 whole plastic bag of chocolates, of various flavours!!
I didn't go home straight after work coz I went to watch Bluffmaster (Abhishek's new movie!) @ Bedok (7.45pm show). 
So I reached home @ 10-ish & the 1st thing I did was open this big present from my dear colleague Roshni. I almost got a shock of my life when I saw this chap! So damn cute!!! Weighs like a newborn! I've got myself a new baby boy! It was so touching, bcoz 1st of all, I don't celebrate X'mas. Ok fine, it's the office annual tradition to xchange gifts on X'mas eve...but usually, juz a lil something wld suffice. But Roshni overdid it this year. And when I harped abt the fact that bears are costly & she shldn't haf etc ...she shut me up wif a "you're worth it!" *sigh* Y do ppl love me so much...I wonder @ times! Am I good? No, I'm bad. So?
Anyways, another touching discovery. There's this Asst Manager whom I'm temporarily serving right now (since I'm covering duty of the staff who resigned in Nov), Joanne. I admit I was quite cold towards her initially, I'm like that, since I know it's temporary, I didn't wanna have any emotional attachments to her, or it'll be hard to let go later. But somehow lately, after one heart-to-heart session (u noe me & my sense of humour!) we just clicked, unintentionally. Today, she belanja me (my idea actually .. hehe .. thick skin) McDonald's Sausage McMuffin w/Egg & Coffee Bean's Malibu Dream Ice-Blended w/whipped cream as X'mas present. On top of that, she gave me a notebook & a card. I didn't open the card (wasn't expecting anything inside, probably simple wishes), but just a while ago, 
I opened it to read (b4 keeping it) & I almost teared when I read what's on her heart. I mean, she really took the trouble to write (Gr8 handwriting btw..she's a left-hander & u noe, I juz haf this thing for left-handers wif perfect handwriting!) this. Dunno la...I get very sentimental wif such sweet gestures. So instead of keeping it in my box of cards, I pinned it up my notice board.
Ok, that's abt all...that's X'mas eve for me this yr. But this yr is also the 1st time I went for a movie instead of going home straight...
since it's TGIF. So much for our plan to catch Neal 'n' Nikki together (wif Nikky!)...but how to watch w/o Nikky! Finally when the opportunity came to catch it @ Bedok @ 6.15pm, despite both being willing to forego at least 15mins in case we reach Bedok @ 6.30pm, we both eventually got tied up & by 5.30pm realised we cldn't leave office b4 6pm so we changed our plan to 
Bluffmaster 7.45pm show. I left the airport @ 7.15pm (all I need is 20 mins to reach Bedok since I'm driving). Nikky reached there 1st @ 7.15pm so she called to tell that she'll buy the tix 1st. I entered the carpark @ 7.35pm...but guess what? The whole stretch in front of the theatre is closed for renovation. So I went further inside...but I got stuck in a row of cars trapped in a dead-end w/o any lots...so all of us struggled to do a 3-point-turn to get out of the carpark. Damn, I think it's 7.45pm already & I didn't put haf my earpiece on to call Nikky! I decided to go to the multi-storey instead. So I entered & went 1 floor up, no lots...another floor up, no lots...went to 3rd floor..then found a lot! Parked, called Nikky to tell her my state & hurried down the carpark. Ooopsss..guess wat?! I 4got to put carpark coupons! Damn! Ran up agn...peeled two 1hr coupons (cheat a bit la, 8-9pm & 9-10pm - movie targeted to end by 10.30pm!). I ran to the theatre...reached @ 7.55pm. The moment I saw Nikky, I tol her "This is wat u call SHIT LUCK!" Gosh..I'm so sorry Nikky, not an image I'd like to portray (I've nvr entered a movie that has started!)...but it juz wasn't my day I guess!?
Anyways, glad no one sat behind us today...but anyways, Nikky behaved this time! Abhishek was cool..Priyanka was hot. Songs were fab..comedy was goddamn farnee! Worth my $8.50. Glad we caught that instead of Neal 'n' Nikki since I've been hearing bad reviews abt it. Guess if anybody has the DVD, I'll juz watch it on DVD la...
Talk of DVD, I btr get my ass off here...gotta finish 2 movies this wkend. Ek Khiladi Ek Hasina (Fardeen Khan) & Aashiq Banaya Apne (my serial kisser Emraan Hashimi). ABA is NC-16! Uh'oh...1st time I'm watching something that I'm underaged for! But aiyah..how bad can a hindi movie be as compared to English, rite!?
Till the next post...adios!

OMIGAWD! I can't believe my eyes! So pally pally ah u & Sadhu, giv choc all...over training him to use the phone. Hahaha. Kahin yeh nafrat pyar mein na badal jaye! If u're shocked, I'm speechless. But it's gd la.
Eh, next time if tired, tell la, we can do it another day. Even I was looking 4ward to it initially but the mad hunt for a carpark lot & all the running got me a lil too tired..Luckily Bluffmaster wasn't disappointing so it really made my night. I hope u'll start liking Priyanka Chopra .. hahaha..
Btw, Aashiq Banaya Apne was disappointing. The only 1 I like is the other guy Karan (Sonu Sood). Movie very slow la. And nowhere close to Hollywood's level of NC-16. I think it's just the dialogue & the concept of the movie. Otherwise, lovemaking scene was worse in Murder and even Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena! I wonder where Bollywood is heading!
