The Latest Win and the Latest CRUSH!!!

And WE won the CECAFA Football Cup.....wow for a change we beat Kenya in some sport or rather some activity... (Not intended to be derogatory, coz Uganda is too weak in cricket to beat Kenya). 

We defeated the Kenyans hands and foots and everything else down. Though I didnt watch it coz it was on weekday. I loved to hear about it. LONG LIVE UGANDAN FOOTBALL AND KEEP WINNING, Next time, we will qualify for the African Nations Finals and if God wishes even the WORLD CUP (2015 atleast!!)

Anyways, theres' this beauty working in CB, whom I have seen in CB and who lives just the next door to my office, she happens to be my latest crush. She is such a beauty that today morning when I saw her I felt like heaven on earth. I m totally out for her, utterly butterly done in for her. And to complicate things for me, she even looks South Indian, wow. And as a bit of Indianness is still left in me, I will refrain from asking her anything or doing anything. damn, I m so inane.

Well thats a lost cause (at least it seems to me, as I m the only one who seems to have noticed her and like my former crushing crushes, I m sure about the results!!!).

In other things, Mengo region is fun to live in. The house is on top of a hill and the breeze is absolutely awesome. The morning are cold, the evenings are also cooler, it hasnt rained yet but then I m loving it with my whole heart. Coupled with all this, at night you can see the whole of Kampala from the side of the house. Isnt it amazing. This city is blessed from the palm of God. I m hoping against hope that I dont leave this city (but then all that depends on destiny and I m a Destiny's Child (;D)

That seems to sum up my mid week post.

cheers and waiting for the weekend (though this weekend would be pretty bland, coz frnds arent arnd...damn)

A later Happy New Year to all

Happy New Year to ya all people.

Its a bit late wish, but its better late than never.

So whats new in the New Year, except for the fact that I broke the new year resolutions the very night of 31st.

We were at Nawab Restaurant, which hadnt been my first choice for the 31st eve. We did regret the decision, due to the fact that it had a buffet system of food and the crowd was unbearable, all this coupled with the price tag of abt UGX 30,000/-. But then as the night progressed and the crowd wanned, it became more and more fanfare. Nawab as always has been good in the matter of food, so we didnt have to worry about that. For the first time we tried mutton there and it was mindblowingly good. The masala and the marrination was perfect (atleast when it was hot) and it did make a great bitting for the beers. Only sad thing is that Moonberg is not available in most of the restaurants here. May be they have to do something about their network.

The new year has been eventful. After a tough and very dull month of December in which surprisingly we worked for only about a 15 odd days only(due to this and the credit crunch and all the other blah blah, the sales were at an all time low for the year), January has brought a whiff of life into business. Sales has been not particularly bad, to say the least. It has picked up very well and nicely, though at a slow pace, but then something is better than nothing.

Now the new year resolutions, I had resolved not booze much, which I broke the very next day and had it for like a week continously on and off. But then now, its reduced to a large extent. The change of residence has a lot to do with it. The old gang of guys had nothing else to do other than booze together (well even now i dont have much to do, but then m not boozing as well).

In other news Warid had this ka greatest scheme I have seen in Uganda, they were giving 100% free bonus airtime on whatever you load. That made me reactivate my Warid Line again and dump the Uganda Telecom line as my secondary line (Sorry UTL, you have been my first line, I will always cherish that). So the scheme saw my phone having a loaded airtime today of about UGX 37982, thats like the highest I m having in my lifetime on a prepaid line. Its like 1000 INRs that is wow. But then Warid scheme is due to end in 3 dyas, so I hoarded as much as 37982 UGX and when you include it with the 30000 that I got as bonus, it makes it a whooping 67892 in my account, isnt that wowww...yes it is.

And ya the new year started off quite well in terms of personal life as well, I got (atleast for now) a permanent house to live in, even though its a pg accomodation. Then I as told before I have reduced on the alcohol intake by a huge margin, then again I stopped just minutes close of proposing to someone and then regretting it very next moment. Well donno why m I getting into this. Neways, new year has been again and again as good as it gets, and hope it remains the same way for the rest of the year.

cheers
