A day out with my friends…

It was a lovely Saturday. As I remember the 12th September, 2009. My friend Yaamini, Chayini (previously blogged as Paavai) and my self visited the books exhibition held at BMICH. Chayini went to BMICH early and my friend and I joined after attending the lectures that morning. We went to BMICH around 11.45 am. Chayini was waiting at the entrance of the main block inside BMICH premises. Until we go there she had had an ice cream and a coca cola. :)

As we went there, we couldn't get inside the main block as there was a huge crowd. Then we went to the next section where there was Expo graphics, Poobalsingham, Jeya book center etc. On the way to that block there were food stalls of Mount Lavenia hotel and another hotel. My both the friends go hungry as they saw that. But since it was a vegetarian day they would only have a look at those foods. :)

As we stepped into the Expo graphics my friend started screaming, saying she can't get into that massive crowd. At last Chayini and I managed to take her in. We were searching for few books and at last couldn't find them. Then we moved from there to another stalls. My friend even didn't step into some shops as it was so crowded. I however managed to buy few lady birds books and stationeries for my brothers and my sister's kids. Chayini managed buy few kavithai books and stationary where other friend bought some cookery recipe books.. :)

Then we came out of that block and went to the bargain shops. A really interesting thing happened there. There we saw a CD shop which had Sinhala movies. Chayini wanted to buy a movie CD. But unfortunately she forgot the name, but remembered the name of the director. Poor sales boy without knowing that Chayini didn't know to read Sinhala gave a lot of CD for her to see whether the one she wants is there. Chayini stood staring at the CDs. Then the guy understood the situation and started reading the names one by one. But what Chayini wanted was not there. :(

The time was around two o'clock as we left that place. My other friend started to complain that she is hungry. We went in search of vegetarian foods and at last only found Maggie noodles :(. With huge long faces we three had to have noodles (Maggie 2 minutes) as our lunch. Then we visited some more stalls in the main block. The book "The boy next Door" by Enid Blyton, was not available in the places where we searched for that and have to leave without the book. :( Then on the way we saw a person selling candy floss and my friend and Chayini wanted to have it very badly. The funniest part was that a 10 year kid saw that and was just passing by, but ladies of 20s wanted candy floss. :P As we bought the candy floss and turned we met our It programming lecturer with her kid. She couldn't stop laughing at us and these two were also embarrassed as we saw her. As she was one of my favorite lecturers I was bit sad that we couldn't have a chat with her. Then they had the candy floss standing under a tree. Then after few more stalls, we left the place around 3.30 in the evening. The most interesting part was that Chayini and my friend enjoyed foods equally to the books at the BOOK FAIR... :)) . Even though only three of us went there, we really had a very nice time there. It is another unforgettable day for me.

Blooming again to join the garden

This flower bloomed two years back. I was highly taken away by my friend paavai's blog. This made me think to write my own blog. As I had plenty of time those days, I started writing this as a hobby. I posted few posts. Then as I was loaded with my studies and work I couldn't write continuously. I posted few articles when ever time permitted.

Now again as I am done with my studies for now, thought of continuing the nangai page. Hope I will be able to write continuously without long breaks again.

My First Day at SLT

I was supposed to join SLT on the 14th of June as I promised. So on the 13th evening, i prepared all my things and was waiting anxiously to step int my new job. The next day morning was a lovely day in my career. I got up early in the morning and got ready to leave home by 7.30m in the morning. My best friend promised me to take me to the office as I didn't know
the sections in the office. My friend picked me at around 7.40 am. and we reached SLT head office at around 8.25am. As I was asked to come to the HR division my friend drooped me at HR and went to his section. The person in charge of IT and Network Officers asked me to wait some time to get my appointment letter. And then he took me to the Admin section to get my ID done. So I gave my details there and they asked me to collect the ID by 4 o'clock in the evening. Then since I was appointed to work at Moratuwa training Centre I was asked stay there in the head office tha day and to collect my documents and to go to the training centre on the next day. After I returned back t the HR i waited the whole day in the HR reception and first got my appointment letter and signed the contract. Then around 4.30 pm I got my ID card and activated it. Then I had to wait till my friend finishes the work and left the place around 5.30 pm. My friend dropped me at home and went home. It was an unforgettable day in my life.

I also would like to note down about my first day at Moratuwa.I started from home early morning at 7.30 and reached Moratuwa around 8.10 am. I met my friend Kanchana there. I knew her before because she was an instructor for me at SLIIT. I first met the engineer admin of Moratuwa TTc and then he introduced the engineer Accesss Technology division, to whom I had to report. He briefed me my duties and showed me my cabin. Then I got some new lovely friends there. I got new friends who were not only my friends but also my well wishers and care takers in my office. I wished that I would stay with these lovely friends for ever till I quit my job st SLT. (Later which was only a dream). I felt the love of a sister in them.
