What a long time its been

Hi everyone
Wow, its been ages since I've blogged. This is because I've been busy at functions or someone else has been using the laptop (brother). Don't worry, I'll describe whats been happening in the past few days, its pretty interesting. Sorry about the long wait, here's what been happening from Wednesday to Sunday.

On Wednesday I was pretty much alone at home and went to my friend Matthew's place and played some PS3 there, he found himself an Xbox 360 and spray-painted the face and posted the video on YouTube (I would create a link but I don't know how). Then I came home and waited for the afternoon to come, this afternoon we (my family) were going to a restaurant with our cousins apparently to celebrate my birthday (which was a month ago) because they didn't have the time to do it then. The meal was good and I got myself a box of Lebanese sweets (the Lebanese may be a little crazy but they make one hell of a sweet). That's why I couldn't blog on Wednesday.

On Thursday my brother was frantically running around to do his Uni assignment which was due the following day, why he didn't do it earlier I don't know. Anyway, he was hogging the laptop and running around, typing and so on. I was working a little and was generally trying to help him out, this earned me a rebuke from my dad who told me to work on my own stuff. That's why I couldn't blog on Thursday.

On Friday I was frantically doing my work for my tutor. However, I was interrupted by my parents who wanted me to go to the post office with them to renew my passport. This I felt they could have done themselves but I had to go along and wait around in the post office for my dad to run around photocopying birth certificates, citizenship certificates, death certificates (just kidding on that one). By the time we got home it was right on five o'clock, I was very annoyed at this as if we had come earlier I could have studied, if I had come later I could have missed my tutor all together but now I had to go unprepared which I thought would be very bad. I was right, the time at the tutor was a disaster and I got told off for not studying hard enough. When I got home I had a massive amount of work to do and I worked all night long, from 7pm up to 2.30am, I still haven't got that work done now. That's why I couldn't blog on Friday.

Saturday was a good and bad day. Good because the IPL (Indian Premier League) was starting and because we were going to the Boishakhi Mela (its a Bengali new year festival is held all over the sub-continent), bad because I got into fight with my brother (the fight started over a cup, I know that sounds ridiculous). The fight started in the morning at breakfast (you should know that I am sometimes very paranoid about hygiene, I sometimes resort to extreme measures to stay away from germs), my brother was using my glass to drink a cup of tea, this annoyed me greatly as I had bought that cup to avoid sharing another cup me and brother had unconsciously shared. I promptly told him to put the tea in another cup, tensions escalated and a classic testosterone fuelled fight started, my brother threatened to burn me with a gas lighter after mishearing gibberish for swearing and I threatened to disembowel him with a kitchen knife after he kicked me. Luckily the matter diffused after that and we both cooled of, this however left me in a sour mood when we were going to the Boishaki Mela, on the way there however we both both made up and he bought me chocolates. The Mela (festival) is held in Homebush and a funny fact was that we went straight past the Royal Easter Show. The Mela was held in the Olympic athletics arena and there were thousands of people in the stands and wandering around the stalls on the ground. We split up and I ate a lot of Moglay Pourata (fried pastry with egg and chili on the inside. I was slightly annoyed as I could have spent that time doing the massive amount of homework given to me by the tutor and watching the opening of the IPL instead of standing around doing nothing but this only happens once a year and we met a lot of old friends. There were fireworks at 9 o'clock and a funny fact was that after our fireworks had ended, the fireworks for the Easter Show started. We then went home, dropping my brother off at work, we arrived home around eleven o'clock and promptly started watching the IPL. We only missed an innings (I won't be a sports commentator) and watched cricket until four in the morning (well I did anyway). That's why I couldn't blog on Saturday.

Now its Sunday and I have just spent the last 2 hours blogging (making up for lost time I suppose), nothing interesting has happened and probably won't. I too tired to do a random rant so I'll sign off here.

Until next time
