Last night we lost the IPL in the last delivery.. I was heart broken when we lost.. We would have won if some things had gone our way. But anyway, there're always many if's in cricket. I shouldnt be saying that. The Royals played better than us n won it. Damn it. The trophy which was full of gold, diamonds, all kinds of sapphires n rubies really made me want our state to get it.

But anyway it's not all bad news! The IPL is a humongous hit!! Many people (espacially Australians) wanted it to be a flop. Thank God it succeeded!

1) I'm baptized!!
2) Hardly anyone is commenting on my entries. :p

Wow, I just signed into yahoo messenger and got a pleasant surprise. I got an offline from Brooklyn. It read, “Sylvester, what happened? We don’t talk much these days.”

I thought Brooklyn had lost all interest in our friendship. I feel.. mm.. I don’t know. I feel happy. I don’t know happy in which way. It’s different than how I generally feel when I’m happy. We both were never really close. But I really really enjoyed the time we spent talking online. It was a lot of fun. She’s such a chatter box. Once I got on the verge of having a crush on her. But I knew it was very stupid. Really stupid because of certain reasons.

I cant believe I feel this happy because of her offline. I myself am very surprised. Amazing.

We havent got online at the same time for almost a year now. We used to keep in touch only through offlines. She stopped replying my offlines and forgot my birthday for the 3^rd time in a row. And she didn’t send me back an offline wishing me happy new year 2008. So I thought she’d lost interest talking to me. I didn’t wanna bug her so I stopped sending her offlines. But I kept her in my friend list.

I thought about her only 3 or 4 days back. I was listening to the song "Coming around again" from Simon Webbe. I used to listen to that song a lot when I almost had a crush on her. So naturally she came to me mind. But I soon started thinking about other stuff.

I don’t know if our friendship is gonna rejuvenate. But I’m just glad there’s a chance now. I thought it was dead and buried.

We don’t go online at the same time these days. So will we ever have the same amount of fun we used to have? I don’t know. Will we have at least part of that fun? It sure seems so!

I’ve known her for over three years. I want our friendship to rejuvenate. But the funny thing is I don’t think she likes me as much as I like her! But what the heck, I still like her!

New rule in our home. From today onwards 8 pm to 9 pm is family time! After finishing family worship by 8, Dad, Mom, Drago, Nicolas and I will have dinner together n talk till 9. This routine will continue for many years... uhh.. theoratically that is! Considering our family's history, I'll be surprised even if we do this for a week. But what the heck, it'll be fun till it lasts!

We made the resolution this afternoon. And we had a family time today. Mom was the last one to join us (dunno why she's always late for everything). We ate and watched Kolkata Knight Riders struggle against Mumbai Indians in a cricket match on TV. And we talked while we did that. The family time was nice, if not awesome. But I would like this routine to continue. Let's see.

Saturday night Drago, Violet and I watched Toy Story 2 together. We both watched the movie using a DVD and Violet watched it online. We made sure she n we were watching the same scenes of the movie at the same time. Drago n she also talked to each other via internet during the movie. I talked to her a lil bit after the movie was over. It was nice to talk after such a long time. We should do that more often.

Last Friday night Drago n I stayed up till 3 a.m. Drago didn’t feel sleepy so he didn’t let me sleep either. Ugh! But we had a lot of fun actually. In fact, it’s been quite a while since we had fun this way. We hardly spend time like this nowadays cause he’s always online talking to Violet. (Nothing wrong with that, of course)

He taught me to play a song in the piano. While teaching he said, “I always thought you knew how to play the piano a lil bit. I realize how pathetic you are at playing it only now!” lol.

After a while a stupid cricket started making so much noise in the bedroom. We couldn’t find it’s exact place to chase it away. So we tried to record its sound and play it back to it. The idea was to scare it away. But strangely the cell phone’s mic couldn’t pick up the sound. We could hear our voices in the recording but not the cricket’s sound! Weird.

Ah I wasn’t able to stay online long enough to post entries lately. Anyway, I should have wrote this last Friday.

The Indian Premier League has begun! The opening ceremony of the first match was spectacular! I hope this succeeds!

K first of all, I should have posted this yesterday.

Anyway, I'm gonna get baptised!! Wow... I can't believe it myself! Actually I decided to get myself baptised on 9/Oct/07 after listening to my Dad's sermon. But I didnt wanna get baptised right away cause I didnt like the baptism tanks in any of our churchs! lol. I wanted it to be very special you know. So I thought I'd wait till I can find a good enough tank or may be even build an awesome church and get baptised there! lol.

But the day before yesterday something happened to my Dad. (I dont have the patience to type all of what happened to him.) So we were talking about it last night. Dad n Mom suggested to me for the first time ever to get myself baptised. After thinking a while I decided I'll do it! 

In our denomination (SDA) it is usual for everyone to get baptised when they are around 15. So I'm getting it done pretty late. But anyway, 18 seems like a better age.

Since the tank in our church is pathetic, I've planned to have my baptism in a bigger church in our city. That's the main church for our denomination here. But I dont want all of the members of that church to be present during the ceremony. I'll feel uncomfortable if I'm surrounded by strangers. I want only my church members to be there. I havent yet figured out what could be done about that. I also havent decided when it'll take place. I think I'll get baptised with in another 40 days or so! Man, I'm excited!

I just logged into Urban Dead after such a long time. To my horror, the place where I was residing with another 200 or more people had been run over the a pack of Zombies! Everyone had fled the place. I wasn't attacked cause my player had gone into sleep mode cause it's been more than 5 days since I logged in.

I had to run away and find another safe building. I noticed a lone Zombie standing outside the building I was in. So I went out to kill it. I started attacking it but all of a sudden, another Zombie showed up and clawed me! That was my first experience of a Zombie attack. Damn, I freaked out and run back into the building! The building is fenced well enough. So I'm safe for the moment I think. Phew!

I was fixing our TV remote using a duck tape. I cut the tape with a blade. And unfortunately, the other side of the blade cut my middle finger of the right hand. Now, dont worry!!! It wasn't that bad. It didnt even bleed right after it was cut. The cut was so small I guess. But eventually a teeny weeny (or teenie weenie.. I dont know how it is spelt) drop of blood was visible in my finger. It quickly clotted. And the stinging feeling quickly disappeared.

I thought, "Now I've lost a drop of blood. It shouldn't go down as waste. I should do something to make this a positive experience."  So I picked up my digi cam n went to the balcony to take close up pics of my finger. I thought it would turn out to be a fine art cause close up picks generally look artistic. 

I uploaded em in the computer. Almost all of the photos turned out well. The photos were artistic but also... sadistic! Ugh! I realized that cause looking at the cut in my finger turned my stomach. There was an increasing feeling of vomiting sensation in my belly. Not good. I tried changing the colour n verything in photoshop to make the photo look.. umm.. unsadistic (is that a word??). But no use. The changes I made just made it look even more sadistic! Ugh! So I deleted all the pics in the end. lol

There was a positive in all this, though. I learnt how to take a good close up pic today because of all this! Not bad, eh? :p

I stayed up all night yesterday n studied. I did pretty well actually. I'm happy. I gotta repeat that today too.  First I thought I'll go to bed at 4 a.m. But I ended up going to sleep only after having breakfast at 8 a.m. Then I slept till 3 in the evening. I'm not exactly sure if I'll be able to carry on studying like this in the night times. But I hope I'll be able to do that. I'm pretty confident about it too. :)

We went to Daniel na's house to play badminton. There were only 6 of us today though. It wasn't as fun as it usually is but it was okay. After playing we all took a bath in the garden. We bathed from the water that was pumped on us from the borewell. I hadn't taken an extra pair of clothes there. So I just bathed with my track pant on. Wow, what a feeling!! That was the third time I bathed that way in there. But I feel awesome every single time! The water is warm and it hits you with a lot of force. It literally feels like you are being massaged! And there's a nice breeze at times. And I get to thrust my feet in the mud under my feed! I kinda like it actually. lol. All that reminded me of my childhood. I bathed like this quite a lot when I was young. sigh.. I wish I can go 10 years back now... Wow, what an awesome childhood I was lucky enough to have had! Thank you, God!
