I love...

I've survived yet another PMS without going on a killing spree. Ain't that a great achievement?

Out of contradiction, I wanted to write a negative post, full of hate, the kind of post where you let it all go and insult a lot of people, but then I realised that I don't feel like swearing and bitching. I feel happy and high. Damn! I'm starting to hate this new sort of PMS. It might be the meds I took though...

Anyway, this post is dedicated to some of the stuff I love...

1.Late Night TV watching

The first thing that comes in this incredible list of stuff that I love is tadaaa... yeah you saw that above, it's late night TV watching. I know, you must be finding that lame but I so very totally utterly love to watch TV alone at night, especially when they are airing old horror movies or else I'd take a cuisine show anytime. There's something great about watching TV when you're all alone and not being disturbed by someone who's asking "Damn! who got killed?", "What's the name of this actor?" or "who do you think is the killer?".

2. Songs that make you cry

You know those songs with heart-wrenching lyrics? No! Not the crappy ones, but the really awesome ones. There are some that I totally love, like Iris from Goo Goo Dolls or Bother by Corey Taylor or even Low Man's Lyric by Metallica. Those songs are truly do-listens along with some bad-ass metal songs, of course!

3. I love it when people understand my jokes - this does not happen often. Something has got to be wrong with me.

Anyway dudettes and dudes, I'm cutting this list short here 'cause My Wife and Kids is airing and I totally love this show! See ya'll!

Back to normal

Pomme-cannelle, Green Day, Eye make-up and my sister.


The slumber party was great. I have particularly liked the pomme-cannelle (apple-cinnamon) infusion. We discussed make-up; I have discovered a new craze for eye make-up. We talked lingerie, we ate chocolate, drank infusions, watched concerts and had fun.

I'm dead tired dudettes and dudes and have loads of blog posts from you guys to catch up on! :D Cheers! Have an excellent Sunday.

Slumber party - A quickie

While Jev's off camping with friends, I'm off slumber-partying. Got my pyjamas and homemade cakes ready. I am really looking forward to weird-tea tasting and cake eating.

I know Jev's party could be more awesome than mine (mainly 'cause of the booze) but I'm willing to have some awful fun tonight! Hehe! Yeah cakes and exotic teas can be quite fun if you're with the right persons. So I'll see ya'll on Sunday dudettes and dudes.

And oh by the way, I love it when people trespass prohibition banners (this one especially, does not make much sense):

Waiting for the cane-cutting

Cane in bloom

Isn't it the cane-cutting season yet? I don't remember the exact month when field owners start hiring people to down sugar cane plants, but I'm eagerly waiting for the cane fields opposite my house to be cut.

Once the field is cleared I'll be having an awesome view on the tiny hills and moles of Petit Raffray. It's such a breath-taking and soothing scenery. Too bad I haven't got a picture of it but once the field is cleared, I'll be taking lots of it.

Anyway dudettes and dudes, I'll grab some patience and wait wait wait... see ya'll!

On the 24, 25 and 26 July, Port-Louis is the place to be

The Human Resource Development Council's (HRDC) endeavours at bringing a 24/7 active Mauritian economy are still going strong and this time they are striking it big by organising a 3-days demo in Port-Louis from the 24th to the 26th of July to show us that the 24/7 economically active Mauritius is a realistic concept.

Shops, banks and restaurants will remain opened till midnight on those days. Measures have been taken by the HRDC so that even cinema halls remain active past normal hours. Musicians and artists have also been called upon to provide some entertainment till late on those three days.

Some bus owners have also agreed to provide transport facilities from certain regions of the island to Port-Louis and vice versa.

I don't know about you guys, but I feel really excited about this. And before voicing out my excitement any further I just wish that this event is not postponed. Nothing kills public excitement about an event better than a postponement.

Yeah so I was saying I'm excited because this feels like the beginning of the implementation of the 24/7 concept, which obviously would bring along job creations and keep the Mauritian economy geared. I trust that the people at HRDC had been giving out the best of themselves to effectively carry out this project and make it a long-lasting one.

Of course, some security issues might crop up because of the late night working and companies might start noticing to what extent people hate working night shifts but I'm sure these can be dealt internally by providing transport to and from the place of work and varying the shifts.

On the overall, I find the Mauritius 24 by 7 concept promising.

So dudettes and dudes, any opinion you'd like to share on this?
