Thanksgiving!

Wow! Thanksgiving feast was an amazing time.. I have never seen a turkey(whole) being cooked and stuffed.. Luckily this year I had the opportunity to experience all this.. I went to my friends house to spend thanksgiving day with her and her family. The turkey was put in at about 8! It took almost 6 hours to cook!! That was surprising! I never thought it would take that long to cook a turkey.. But hey in the ending it ended up being delicious! I loved it.. We had the turkey with various salads, mash potatoes, dressings, vegetables and other delicious items.. Of course, I got so stuffed I could barely WALK!! I was full and then was told there was pie still to come.. but luckily we had about 3 hours break before that.. During the break most people took a nap and some watched a movie.. This was the best holiday ever! Seeing so much family around and good food..
I have never been that full in my life but I did enjoy ever bite I had.. Thanksgiving is a day where one just eats, eats and eats.. That just makes it the best day ever!!! :)

MCom - Business Writing

MCom 320 has been the best class this semester. This class was rather an amazing class as the professor (Mr. Clarke) was very amusing and intelligent person. Of course we all hated the grammar test. I never knew that grammar would be so intense and difficult to remember all the rules. I thought I knew all the rules but hey it ended up that I didn't do well at all. Not even in the re-take. Lol. Oh grammar! I hate it! But on the other hand to be honest, I did learn a lot in this class. I actually look out for punctuation errors and grammar in all my papers and e-mails. I have also learnt how to be a strong speaker and how to survive in the business world when writing papers or reports. I am so glad I took this class with this professor and students. It has been very enjoyable and I have learnt a lot. I would highly recommend everyone to take this class even if they are not a business major.

End of Fall 2010

Finally it is almost the end of this semester.. We all get to go home and spend christmas there.. Also it is a very very short break from school, assignments and ofcourse the worse thing, TESTS! The break for christmas is too short.. I feel that we shud make winter from like 2 weeks of Jan till end of april or whenever... Who doesn't want a long christmas holiday??
Anyway since it is the end of the semester, assignments are all due and the pressure is building for finals.. But hey thanksgiving break is almost here so hopefully that is a stress-reliever break.. I feel that thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday when the whole family meets up and enjoy a huge dinner together as well as pray and appreciate all that the Lord has done for us.. There should be more holidays where families meet.. Spending time with family is a wonderful experience...
One thing I am going to miss about this semester is my MCom class( I am not saying this just because Mr. Clarke is going to see this).. :D This class has been the most exciting and amazing class..

Indian Dishes...

Cooking is something that I am honestly not familiar or good with. My mum has always been the one cooking. At first when I cook for myself, it never turned out as my mum made it.
Anyway, I was at a friend's house and we invited a few people over. Unfortunately, the girl that was meant to cook had a problem and feel sick so I had to take over(like i knew how to cook :s )... I somehow just managed to make some chicken curry... After a friend tried it, he turned around looked at me and said "will u marry me?".. hahahaha this made my day.. Ofcourse it was a joke.. Apparently it turned out to be good... (I am not boasting or anything but I am just happy people enjoyed it..)
Their compliments really helped me gain confidence.. So then I tried to be courageous and cook some south Indian dish.. Upma is the name of the dish and it is made of sooji... It ended up good but not good compared to my mom's.. :/
