Work & Play weekend

Seems like my weekends have been takenover by work.

Spent whole of Thursday at the vendor’s location (thankfully in Andheri).

Spent Friday and Saturday mornings out there as well, inspite of it being official holidays

However, the rest of the weekend from Saturday evening to Sunday night was all play

Had to go for the Li’l White Mouse’s birthday party in the evening. Her birthday was on 15th, but being a weekday she was celebrating it today.

First met up with Anjali because I wanted to buy a gift for the Li’l White Mouse. We had to leave by 5pm but knowing Anjali and since she wanted to wait for Stephanie, we ended up leaving at 6.10pm without Stephanie.

Couldn’t find anything in our area and so we went to Alfa in Irla to pickup chocolates. Picked up the highly overhyped and horribly expensive but a fantastic gift viz. Ferrero Rocher.

We finally reached the Li’l White Mouse’s place post 8pm which was really late!

Found that I was one of the oldest and the only non-Xavierite, which basically meant being left out of 90% of their conversation! However, did make a few new pals and chit chatted with them a bit (and made Madam C very jealous with exagerrated stories about them )

We got back a lift home by Shawn, one of Anjali’s pals. But before that we headed off to Bandstand around 12am and were there till 1 in the morning !

Reached home and hit the bed almost immediately. Woke up at 10.30am and had to meet Madam C by 11.30.

Got ready quickly and left for Bandra. Met her and we headed to Fame Adlabs to watch The Longest Yard.

The Longest Yard

Paul “Wrecking” Crewe was a revered football superstar back in his day, but that time has since faded. But when a messy drunk driving incident lands him in jail, Paul finds he was specifically requested by Warden Hazen (James Cromwell), a duplicitous prison official well aware of Paul’s athletic skills. Paul has been assigned the task of assembling a team of convicts, to square off in a big football game against the sadistic guards. With the help of fellow convict Caretaker, and an old legend named Nate Scarborough to coach, Crewe is ready for what promises to be a very interesting game. It’s only the warden and the guards who have no idea who or what they’re up against, with Paul the driving force behind the new team.

Have been seeing the posters of this for quite a while and so had decided to watch it. Well can say I really loved the movie. The acting simply rocks. The movie is highly hilarious and is well packed with action, drama and comedy.
Adam Sandler as usual amazes as an actor and he is very well backed up by Chris Tucker and the rest of the cast.

Before the movie we went to Pizza Hut for lunch in Lokhandwala. Feasted on their new Freshizza Meal for 2, which is our new favorite.

Just as we came out of the theatre, we found out that a woman had jumped to her death in the building adjacent to Fame Adlabs. The news came in the paper next day. Well we didn’t have guts to go check out what had happened as blood and death really horrifies me!

Dropped Madam C home and then headed back.

Went for the 6pm mass and after this took James, Austin, Amita and Aurenstein to Zodiac as my birthday treat. Anjali ditched at the last moment.
