and that’s the theme of my day. No, not being racist.
Thank you Hindus (of whom many are Indians) for celebrating Diwali / Deepavali. That’s how I can sleep late tomorrow cos it’s a public holiday. 
I’m so frigging tired from the super awesome weekend I had. Granted, I may have pushed my ageing body to its limits by scheduling so many things in a row. Check this out:
Friday: Woke up at 4.30am. Worked. Went home. Ate. Napped for 1 hour. Went to Korean class. Went to Sukja’s house where we were supposed to hang out and cook Korean food. Turns out she organised a mini surprise birthday party for me (yay!). Even had a birthday cake with Korean wordings. We Stayed till 4am and went home.
Saturday: Woke up at 10.30am. Went to meet Nita and Jasmine for awesome Jap birthday lunch and yummy froyo dessert at Bugis. Jasmine KO-ed at 2.45pm and went home to sleep. Met Wendy at 4.30pm to alter clothes, hang out, eat yums Korean food, etc etc. Headed over to Zouk and stayed there till 3am.
Sunday: Woken up abruptly by annoying parents. Cleaned house. Stoned. Watched Jersey Shore. Went to bed at 9pm but couldn’t sleep till 12am. Had to wake up at 4.30am next day. FML.
Monday: Worked. Had a last-minute secret collaboration with former magazine people to have a mini celebration for former colleague. Ended up being Old Chang Kee delivery girl for ex-colleagues who had no time to go out for lunch. Bought mini pork burgers as “birthday cake” since ex-colleague hates all things sweet. Chatted with most of nice ex-colleagues, one of whom even gave me a bunch of beauty products. Loves 
Went home, watched Drop Dead Diva (MOST FRIGGING AWESOME SHOW EVER), napped for 1 hour. Went out to watch free 3D premiere of The Three Musketeers (WHICH IS ALSO ANOTHER FRIGGING AWESOME MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!). Went home, crashed at 11pm.
Tuesday: Today. SO SLEEPY. ZZZ. But have to finish work and then meet Kenny for birthday coffee. My day should end at 3pm. oh, blissful sleep… I can’t wait to have a nice long date with you for 24 hours or more.
Unfortunately, I have another birthday dinner with the family (which I’M supposed to organise) tomorrow.
Seriously, who’s ever heard of someone organising their own birthday dinner with their own family? Shows much family love hur.
Can’t wait for this weekend! I’ll be turning 21! WASSAPPPPPPPP.

and that was a huge detour from my Indian theme.
Another reason why Indian is my theme today is cos I read this article about the world’s fourth richest man, an Indian dude named Mukesh Ambani who built a multi-billion dollar 27-storey home for himself and hs family (3 kids, 1 wife, 1 mother) and a 600-member staff. Technically it’s 60-storeys tall cos he’s got high ceilings.
This dude has a MALL for his house. sheesh.
here’s a breakdown of his house
It starts with 6 levels of parking lots, then you get to the lift lobby where there’s 9 lifts – carpark lifts, family lifts, guest lifts, and service lifts.
See the door on the left of the above photo? It opens up to this.
80% of the ceiling is covered with chandeliers, and this ballroom can seat hundreds.
There are so many lounges where you can relax.
Check out the bathrooms. Sheesh.
The dude even has a theatre in his house that seats 50. I wonder if he installed a box office just for the fun of it?
of course you work hard and play hard. here’s his very own in-house gym and swimming pool and yoga rooms and what-nots. by the way, it spans 2 levels.
It’s so luxurious but I can’t really feel envious of it.. How will you ever find your own family in this sprawling place?! Let’s hope they have individual tracking devices on each other and a floor map app on their iPad.

Anyway, HAPPY DEEPAVALI EVERYONE!
