Hmmm....
I am crazy about getting my ear pierced. It's kinda driving me nuts… I wanna get it done ASAP. But I am scared about the after effects and pain during the process…
I have been busy off lately....and still amidst of exploring the services offered in Singapore…I know I wouldn't be getting a service where in they do pierce without pain [:(]. I just don't wanna to mess it up like the last one…that mark is still visible…I had done it with one guy in Commercial street, Bangalore…with my dear fren Prathyusha's commendation…He did it with a gold needle…It was hell lot of pain. Initially it was good…but then in an attempt to change the studs, it got infected and day by day the pain worsened….So I had to remove it and leave it like that to heal…that's how it ended. This time I don't want all that to happen…so taking time to find out the best possible service which also provides after-care….which is very important.
I have 2 options with me now…B- Dazzles, 77th street. May be down the week, I will get it done in the best place. The only problem I see now is I wanted some place where in they can do it with yellow gold…but then as of now…I didn't find any…..B-dazzles guys do with sterilized steel or white gold. Lets see....

Jodhaa Akbar ---- Review
It’s one other magnum opus by Ashutosh Gowarikar, passionate love story of Rajputhani princess Jodhaa and Mughal emperor Akbar. Though it was a lengthy film, I basically haven’t felt though, I was totally into it (Most of the films I go & live the character…that’s a different thing). The war, drama, and the romance…is just amazing. The sets were awesome; it totally takes into that epoch. It’s such a beautifully made movie and worth a watch. The costumes and jewelry are worth a mention…they were most fabulously made, Hats off to the designer Neeta Lulla, tanishq and most importantly the craftsman behind it. Great work!

But then as it is a Thursday, we did sleep early at 12.30 and woke up by 8, rushed to offices….I couldn’t manage to reach home before 9pm I usually have tcon every Thursdays with my US client, I didn’t wanna miss as I had to clarify few things. But then Inspite of me waiting till 8.30, that guy didn’t join the call… neways I managed to come home by 9…and yet another surprise, yummy Black forest pastry…bunch of red roses…. Lovely evening…Thanks Jey! We had a nice Italian Pizza and reached home late. It was a great day all in all.
Well…I still remember that funny valentine’s day back in India, when I was in Wipro... I got a call from the tower security saying that there is some parcel for me…I was like whosssss that n that too parcel to office…I was like…what’s the name? He said it correctly and the strange thing was even the employee number (99639) was mentioned on it…I was like yeah its me…I went to collect….One of my frens piyush accompanied me…, ahhhhh I was surprised to see it was a flower Bouquet…and then realized it was Valentines day too…we were like who’s this?

Hongkong trip
Yeah I was thinking of penning it down about our Hongkong trip, but then as always I was caught up with my all time exertion…I know this is just an excuse…but then truly speaking I hardly had any time…well let me set off…
It was a breathtaking trip on the whole…and that's the reason I just wanna post it unlike my other trips which I set aside postponing …they were good too…but then this one is remarkable :)
We started off early morning, our flight was at 6.30 which was very frenzied morning for us…we reached Hongkong at 11am in the Hongkong international airport, It was unpleasantly cold and thank god the hotel guys have arranged a coach for us without much of waiting….…the airport was pretty far-flung from the Hongkong city. Hongkong basically is divided into Hongkong Island, Kowloon, Lantau Island, new territories and some more…So that was an predictable journey and it took us around close to 1hr from airport to the Hongkong island…At the first sight itself I fell in love with Hongkong…It was such a scenic beauty, picturesque place …Awesome it was:)
Day 1:
=====
We had a superb continental lunch in the hotel itself…then took little rest and headed to Lantau island, took the cable car ride to Lantau island…and this one is worth a talk about…the 35 min cable car ride was tremendous…though it was bloodcurdling in the beginning….then the view was simply amazing….and yeah it wasn't straight ride…there were many ups n downs…and finally arrived at the Lantau island to see the marvelous Tin Tan Buddha…the Ngong ping village is fabulous…with such a pleasant environment…with all kinds of shopping and outlets from Starbucks to all kinds of restaurants. It was freezing and yeah we just spent sometime there and back to the hotel.
In the evening we had been to central & Wanchai for shopping. Hongkong is a shopping paradise and that too for the branded freaks like me…I loved shopping in central, Wanchai, Tshim Sha Sui & Nathan road.
From central we headed to Tshim Sha Sui to view the Symphony of lights but then we missed by just 10 mins…bad luck but then we didn't regret as we got the awe-inspiring view of the hongkong from the new world center. It was such a romantic situate…The view was simply superb, Also been to Times Square…from there been to Ladies market and yeah that was again great as people said…OMG there were almost all brand's fake. Enjoyed shopping in ladies market, though didn't get to buy much of stuff :( By the time we returned it was very late and we were exhausted too…and not that hungry too as we had so much in Ngong Ping….so got the takeaway from Mc…Omg I was wondering…if I haven't started eating nonveg…food would have been a real problem like before.
Day 2:
=====
We thought of waking up early but then it was already 9…and as it is the weather was like that…had breakfast from Java mama and hired a cab to Ocean Park which is the major attraction in Hongkong and one of the largest ocean parks in the world. As it was in the same island (Hongkong), it just took us 20 mins and we were there….and yeah it was worth seeing…the pandas, dolphins, sea lions and the most amazing rides. But then I didn't go to all the rides…I didn't had partner my dear husband was like u go and I will wait here… so couldn't go in many rides… but then the highlight in ocean park is again the "Cable car"…OMG I was literally scared to death…it was almost 40 mins ride one-way and that too it was not a straight one…such an slanting…up n down ride from the low land to high land…one side mountains, the thick forest and the other side sea… such a small cable car that we couldn't deviate from the surroundings…hongkong to say in short is tall buildings, cable cars, subways, trams & shopping.
From Ocean Park we headed to the peak tower which is located at the Victoria gap. The tram is the most quick and scenic way to arrive at the peak. I would say it is the best way to experience the Hong Kong's nature which gives a spectacular view of the city. Boarding the 100 year old tram, which takes to 552 meters above the sea level was exciting and the ride to the peak with takes a solid 45 degree angle was one of the must do things in hongkong… And the sky terrace offering a stunning 360-degree panoramic view across the Hong Kong, the brand new Sky Terrace is a picturesque spot one should never miss. And yeah not to miss the Madam Tussads at the peak, though there were not bollywood stars unlike other places…but then it was worth seeing. I guess guys who have seen my pics would know how it was…few statues of Mahatma Gandhi, Angelina Jolie, Einstein and many others were excellently made. Enjoyed in the peak till twilight, the awesome view of Hongkong…couldn't stay there longer as it was freezing…
From there we headed to Tshim Sha Sui to view the Symphony of lights between the Avenue of Stars and the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. The show does create an all-round vision of colored light, laser beams and searchlights performing a stunning, unforgettable spectacle synchronized to music and voice-over that celebrates the diversity of Hong Kong.
After which comes my favorite and memorable freak out in hongkong, the "Aqua Luna" ride, is an experience not to be missed. I njoyed the ride across the Victoria harbor, the unrivaled views of Hong Kong's harbor from a stunning vantage point. OMG it was simply superb!!! It was such a romantic n relaxing getaway for 1 hr….such an out of the world ecstasy, both of us on the cruise, a glass of wine…stars up above…the experience was simply awesome. That’s the end of day2
Day 3:
=====
We started early in the morning been to Wanchai to the golden bahunia square, It is the Hong Kong's emblem.…It was a worth seeing attraction…and then just wandered along Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and returned to the hotel, packed up and started off to Disney land finally….My all time favorite and I was obsessed to see it. Had fun…met all the Disney characters, got some Mickey toys…played several games…n few rides as well…didn't had time for the laser show though…
From Disney land, we were off to the airport and did some shopping in the airport:)and boarded the flight at 8.30pm ….that’s the end of our trip..:)
