Conversations with a girl
Sept 26
kandy was so much fun!!! we left home at 5.15 in the morning..my mom's friend's son was a royalist so he came woth us to kandy and got off at the train station where he was meeting his friends..we reached kandy at about 10.30...my dad's friends had come the previous day so they were just having breakfast when we reached the guest house...normally we stay at a hotel like Mahaweli Reach or something but this time everything was full up...we had breakfast at jinadasa in warakapola...it is the ultimate place to stop over during a trip...you've been there right?we had hoppers and halepa..i love halepa!!!
after everyone had breakfast we went to the trinity college farm...it was awesome...my dad can get us into anything that's connected with trinity coz he's an old boy and very prominent in the OBA..normally we go to trinity and my dad takes us on a tour around the whole school..it's a very beatiful school but too many steps to climb!!! there's a gorgeous view from every point in the school...and the chapel is to die for!!!!
anyway the farm was quite cooll..exceptthe stench in the piggery nearly made us all pass out!!! and the pigs were SO FAT!!!! and very pink.. matt the uncle in charge of hte farm let me hold a baby guinea pig and a baby rabbit!!! i took pictures,they're so cute!!! there were lots of animals..sheep,goats.cows,ducks,chickens...we went all around the farm..then this uncle's bungalow is at the very edge of the bangalow overlooking the river...when its the rainy season,the river fills up right upto his house!!!
anyways...after that,we went back and had lunch...thel it was time to go for the match..i painted the trinity colours on everybody's faces,even our moms and dads!!!! then we got into the bus and iput my trinity flag out...we had two flags on each side of the bus!!! it was so much fun...i cheered so much during the match i lost my voice!!!
my wrists were killing me the next day after i had waved the flag around during the entire match!!! we had seats in the grand stand downstairs,right at the back...so all the kids stood on their chairs...we had an awesome view from there!!!
after the match we went back for dinner...we ahd to leave that night coz malla had an exam in school the next morning...it was 2 in the mornong when we got home!!! but nevertherless we had to wake up early and take malla to school...
Kandy sounded super duper. Thanks for the detailed update. Have you been to ambewella farms. The animals there are beyond super. So cute. The goats and the cows. They have rabbits as well. Did not know that trinity had a farm. It must have been cool. I love the sound of it.
I had a busy weekedn too. Helping out for the st.benedicts was fun. On Fri micky didnt come so all that he thought me on thursday i put into practise. Lighting was so much fun to do. You feel like god sitting up there above everyone else. And if you feel like it, you can cut all the lights and leave everyone helpless in darkness :))) Went home late on fri. Sat was the first show. this time i was backstage. It was good too be in control. The kids called me mat aiya. That felt so funny i almost laughed. I was strict with them. Tried to be like siraj and got them to run around anytime i wanted them to. They were so clueless it wasnt funny. Don't know hoe, but somehow the show went off well. The songs they sang were bomb. They even did seasons of love (from rent...the song i played for you on my comp) Some of those guys had amazing amazing amazing voices. Even the chooti batta kids were really good.
after the show went for onstage. A lot of our boys were there playing. Also a lot of our crowd was there as well. Do you want to go this saturday. Chutiya is playing and i can bring or drop you if you need? Anywy the bands were ok. BUt it was fun hanging out. After went to pillaows for dinner. There were a record number of 11 ppl in my car. Wow. We all spent a lot of time there. Kevin was supurb. Keeping us entertained all thru the nite. It was really nice to hang out with everyone.
Then on sunday after the show, micheal, dini, me and dinesh went out for dinner. we treated ourselves to this korean restaurant on havlock road. HTe food was just beyond amazing. And what was more special is that each table has at the centre a gas cooker....imagine that. They cook your food right in front of. The idea is thta you cook it yourself and add whatever you want to to it. The sauces were out of this world. We had sea food soup and barbecued meats. The experiecen was amazing. It was during dinner that we heard about ruins dads death. Chutiya was playing at tantra. Both of them didnt seem to concerned. Went to their place at about 12 and hung out their and chatted. Was really late by the time i dropped everyone and went to sleep.
Oh on sunday i also went to watch superman. I new it would be cold so i took a blanket type huge shawl with me :) It ws really cosy under that. And before you laugh about it, it was a good thing i took it cuz it there i think i felt sick and was sneezing through out the film. I'm not saying its a bad film, but it did not live up to superman expectaitions. Had its fun moments
From sat onwards i had begun fasting. Staying hungry is not really an issue for me. The real issue is waking up at 4 in the morning. Do you know why we fast. By abstaying from distractions such as food and other things, we free up our time and mind for prayer. So that we gain the maximum good from this month which is the holiest of all. Sometimes i feel it is pointless fasting, cuz i cannot do all the holy things that i need to do and so feel that fasting has become a farce. But i must try. Then we break fast after prayers, usually at mosque. After prayers, he head priest talks to us. He teaches us (like a sermon), but its all interesting stuff. there is a lot of stress yesterday on gossiping. Gossiing is supposed to be really bad and a big sin. He said that it is so bad that it is akin to eating your own brothers flesh... after prayers and sermon (sermon is the wrong word for it, but you know what i mean right), we have dinner. It is always an amzing dinner. Last nite was Jalebi (sweet oily thing), chicken in yum gravy, soup and biriyani. This goes on the entire month of ramazn for us.
I finished narnaia last nite. Read the entire last book in a couple of hours steaight. Very sad now cuz the book is over. It was really beautiful. I need to start again on some of my old books. Maybe will read hitchikers guide. Have you read them? They are my fav after pratchett. Even funnier. Just amazing.
My mum is ok. She is slowly going back to hr routine of housework and prayers. She is amzinlgy picky over her house. Everything has to be spotless and in its place. Sometimes it becomes just a little too much for me to handle. but a hell of a lot of life has comeback home. Its gr8 to have her back
Its time i went to mosque too. Talk to you later.
