Marking the end of half the year and only Europeans survive the World Cup Semis...

We are now left with 4 European teams; quite unsure about who would lift the 2006 cup! Now that crowd favortites- Brazil ,Argentina and England are off , Italy was the only predictable win!

Theirry Henry and Klose remain my heroes as France and Germany enter the semis of FIFA World Cup 2006. My new hero is Ricardo who without doubt proved Portugese are better off than the English team.

Crippled by the loss of a crying and injured Beckham and aggressive Rooney; the team couldnot even take advantage of couple of tense penalty shots by the Portugese! At 3-1; we soon had a whole bunch of England supporters crying at the loss ....The following match was also quite a surprise win as Brazil are still considered the best team!I hope to see re-run of the Brazil vs. France match before I comment on the match....

On the other hand, half of 2006 has already passed by while I think I was just getting used to the year 2006.Now when I look back- I did finally get my car windows tinted, got a new wallet, frames; so I think I did manage to keep up with my list! Need to make a new one now!

Wishing all Goodluck for the rest of year...before we know it we will soon be wishing the best for 2007!! eeks....scares me when time flies soooo fast!

Rare Snow day! 01/10/2021

 After a grilling 2020, 2021 started out with a mixture of emotions - grim but hopeful, distant from family but long WhatsApp calls, rainy but looking forward to the sunshine in the coming days. A lot of R&R is how we started our New Years, thanks to the long weekend. We read, watched tv, cooked and slept a lot!  Once work started, it didn't even feel very different from the past few weeks. Unfortunately a few days into the first working week, there was chaos in the DC Capitol and many State Capitols. A riot started by an infuriating and possibly out-of-work men and women wanting to display their passionate support of an incapable President. Back to feeling uncertain and grim about the future, we were surprised by Mother Nature providing us a rare snow fall day here in Austin, TX! It was simply amazing and a great 2nd Sunday of the year where we got 3.5-4 inches of snow ! The sights were remarkable during and after the snow fall. The entire city and neighbors were thrilled...

Uniquely Singapore-Day 3

As decided we started off to Sentosa island after packing some sandwiches and juices in for the rest of the day.Sentosa was some awesome experience. "Images of Singapore" being the best visit with the highlight of what makes Singapore and the wax models of the famous Raffles and other political leaders, also display of different birth and wedding ceremonies conducted in S’pore. The country takes its name from 'Singapura' which means land of lions, as seen by the fishermen in the early days. The "sky tower" by Carlsberg company was worth it too, where we got to see Singapore from almost 130 meters above sea level-this probably being the highest view of Singapore. Cinemania was fun but I have had better experiences before. Not to forget the Underwater world was amazing with almost 2000 different fishes, 100 different crabs, the Dugong attracting a lot of attention. This fish is named Gracy because of her graceful movement. She has the face of a baby cow, body ...
