Today am sick! at home…

No no no, i really mean it, am suffering from fever and lots of pain in the back, since yesterday.

Since yesterday morning, i have been at “atchouming” a lot and got some fever. I left office a bit early, at 5pm, ya thats early!

Then went to the doctor who prescribed some medicines and i guess he is a magician lol, he told me “to pu gagne douleurs dan to lecorps”. At that moment, i thought that there was no way to get it since i was only having fever…

After some hours, i got immense pain starting after a big atchoummmmmm! wow, that was hurting!

Today, i woke up and still high fever, so, i sent msn-ed Steeve, my colleague so that he can inform the others that i wont be coming…

Since i had a job to do for the HR today for the Parent’s Day coming soon, i started to look and prepare a Parent’s Day wishing card which will be sent to everyone in the office.

I came up with the following card, which i mailed to our HR…

In order to pass some time, I launched my Virtual DJ software after months!

After some hrs, i succeeded in making something quite pleasant to hear, without the boum boum which i like to make, lol.

Oops, just got a call from mum and she reminded me to take my medicines, n lol, i did forget to take them after my lunch, 2hrs late!!!!

Have a nice weekend dear Readers!

Special post!

Mum has been to Rodrigues for the last 2 weeks and on her return back here, she brought a “gato typik rodriguais” known as “Gato tourner”

lol, want to know y?

Check out the pics….

Ingredients: flour, yeast(”lelvin”), sugar and syrup.

How it is made?
Flour and yeast is mixed, allowed to rest for about 1 day and then it is turned (”tourner”) as shown in the pics, then finally sugar and syrup are added to give them this color….

Eugggggggghhhhh!!

Frankly speaking, at first sight, it looks like a piece of fresh meat, with blood all over it!

If u are sensitive/delicate, u can even vomit, so beware!

The taste?

Pas mal, its sweet because of the sugar and syrupt and has the taste of “Piaw”.
Good to taste but after eating 2 of them, lol, i dont want any now.
3 of them (above) are still in the fridge…

So, that was me, blogging another page of my life, when i tasted the “gato tourner” of Rodrigues Origin

Bloooooppppp!

Electric Power cut at about 1145am, today!

Whole DCDM was in the dark and some mins after, we learned that Accenture was also without electricity, got confirmation from Mantasha n Yasmina…At first. i thought DCDMC didnt pay electricity bills.
But when i learn Accenture also, experienced this black out, then, i said to myself, Accenture didnt pay the bills and since DCDMC is managed by Accenture, then its gonna be normal.10mins afterwards, Vissen(my friend) told me that there was a blackout even in Moka(Euro CRM).

This turns out to be a bigger problem then, not only for Accenture and DCDMC.

Just then, Bernard (sitting next to me now) told me that there was an electric storm.

“Ekire mo nom si” says Vero at this second…

ya, i immediately looked for a picture of an electric storm on flickr, but damned it!

They blocked Flickr here!!! grrrr!

So, i googled and got the following picture while waiting for Bernard to send me the pics he shot yesterday evening.

Euh, didnt you or your company failed to pay electricity too? lol

In which region of the island were you???

Updated at 13hrs:

• All Colleges and schools have been closed down and even some companies…
• Electricity is back after 1 hr
• All roads in port louis are blocked, traffic jamThe day after tomorrow!!!

Wow, that was fun but tiresome!

As every 3 months, DCDM Consulting organises a different Company Event for the staff, and this time, it was called “DCDMC Orienteering Challenge”, held at Domaine Anse Jonchee, near Ferney in the south-east.

Preparations have been going since long, with me sending mails to all staff to make them remember wats going to happen on this saturday 10th may 2008 and also remind them about practical things such as transport etc.

Each pick up point collected staff at 8am and all the vans reached the domaine at about 10hrs where 4×4 and jeeps took us to the Panoramour Restaurant.

Indeed warm welcome from Vertical World, which organised the logistics behind the challenge.

Oh yeah, i nearly forgot!
As a “mascotte” i had brought a Monkey Teddy, “Mr Zako”, those who ever travelled in my car surely knows Mr Zako, koz it hangs right behind the driver’s seat

Mr Zako, was quite a star on that day since no one thought of bringing anything + the teams names were different species of monkeys (picked from wikipedia).
Everyone was touching Mr Zako, admiring him (& his owner of course lol), even taking pics with him (not only me do! Zako la si ! haha!)

At one instance, i didnt realised that Mr Zako and my Cap fell somewhere :S
I had to go back and look for them, fortunately i remembered where i walked and found them somewhere near the first goyavas which i picked there to eat. Delicious!

Above the team No 01, Angwatibo!

At 1130hrs, the game started and each team was composed of 4-5 persons + had a map and other stuff to orientate ourself in the huge domaine and collect the maximum of beacons(flags) + solve riddles attached to each of them.

There were also 4 Red Challenges, in the “Fort Boyard” Style.
My team managed to win 2 of them

The above one was really tough and i managed to put down the guy! waaaaaaaa!

At the beginning of the game, my team members and myself had lost ourselfves but we managed to get onto the track and start collecting points.

Amazing things happened during the game, for example, deers running here and there, and quite close to us.

There was an open lunch from 12hrs to 1630 hrs and each of the teams had to organise themselved to be back to the restaurant to be able to take their lunch, at anytime they wished, or rather, at the time they managed to come back lol!

After the end of the challenge, there was a prize giving ceremony and beyond expectations, my team was ranked 6th lol, out of 14 teams. We really didnt expect that!

All of the teams received gifts ; those after the top 3, received, guess wat???
Banane! lol

and of course,the winning team:

After the prize giving, we had official photo sessions…
We were allowed to climb on the top of the jeeps to take pictures

We took really A LOTS OF PICTURES and that will take time to regroup all of them, but however, i have already uploaded pictures from my mobile and my 2nd camera.
More pictures to come in the near future on facebook and my web site photo gallery.

Click here for pictures taken using my mobile and camera

We really had a nice day,

• lots of fun, but tiresome
• lots of “boudouf” when we fell down here and there in the mud,
• lots of “hey kot nu eter la? check lo map!”
• “p gagne faim! kant nu pu ressi arrive enbas la?”

When’s the next???

The National Television is again in my post, they don’t even care for their image, be it in their home-made productions and even in their day to day broadcasts on the different channels.

They give the impression that there is no one who ensures a quality service or review what they put live.

A simple example, and repetitive one, is as shown below:

In the above picture, taken when one of the “preview” of a film was being broadcasted, you can cleary see that the film will be broadcasted on Sunday, at 21XXhrs, the XX mins display, being hidden by the LARGE mbc3 label.

Damn it! So, i will have to sit before the tv set from 2100hrs till 2159hrs to really know at what exact time it will start! This happens too often, too much!!!

hihi, and now 2 more pics…

Since 1 week, my sister and myself are alone at home since parents are not in Mauritius, so, everynight we either eat at my cousin’s place(next door) or like today and yesterday, we cooked ourselves at home.

Quite a disaster!

Yesterday, we planned to eat Chicken and at the end, we were left with a salty curry lol!

and more recent, some hours ago, we TRIED  to cook some pasta, mixed with a “rougaille saucisse” since we had nothing else to put in it.

While cooking, all the “rougaille” was evaporated LOL! and we were left with fried and “over-cooked” sausage. As for the pasta, it was ok but since the last mins, my belly is making “glou-glou” lol, and tomorrow, i have a company event to go to, at Domaines Anse Jonchee :S

we were not only the victims, since both Neha and Deepa(cousines next door) were fortunate(???) to have been invited for dinner at our place for the last 2 days

lol, 1 more week to go like this!
practice makes perfect, so lets hope in some years, i can cook a bit better!

Did not really want to write any further posts on those competitions organised by our National Television, but, could not resist after that of today…

I will try to recap everthing which happenned….

I as quite surprised, as well as most of us watching it here at home, after the announcement of the voting results, the girl there started crying….

Come on, its only a miserable competition, no need to do as if u r on Sa Re Ga Ma Stage or any other famous competition…

lol, and guess what? She was crying, not because she lost, but because she won!
Initially all of us thought she was quite dissapointed!

Online SMS Display Messages

Nice innovation, live sms on your screen….

but quite unpleasant for their image, i agree they should display everything,

however, its not always nice!!!

Judges….

Lets talk about the choice of the judges there…
One in particular(to the right in the picture below)…

On his first appearance before the camera, he was unable to speak correctly before the camera (”ti p gaga”) and how is he going to mark the performance of the candidates???

Female Host, totally lost in her words!

Again, MBC has put 2 new female hosts, which are completely “amateurs” just like the one they put on “Hum Tum” Singing & Dancing Competition some months ago…

Today one of the female hosts talked nonsense at one instant (when there as a tie -candidates with same points )

She told approximately the following:

The first time something like this is happening here in this emission, you can send your sms to vote!lol,

In fact, at that instant she meant “You can send your sms to comment!”

That are the disadvantages of being live!

Orange Representatives

Orange, being the sponsor of this singing competition, its quite normal for their representatives to be there….

Just a small comment (since most of them being french or english, hence not understanding anything!):

Hey banne representants Oranges, attention zotte beze mangue labas!

Mentors

The concept of the mentors, was completely stolen from Sa Re Ga Ma Pa.

Be Original! At least prove you can be creative!

Time to leave u here, dont hesitate to add further comments below!

After nearly 2years, i have revamped my web site, below are some screenshots…

I have also rewritten nearly all the text + added new stuff while removing other pages.
Any additional stuff that i may find interesting will be added in the Cool Stuff section, for example, simple articles showing you how to use any email add with msn messenger or how to compress a picture, the easiest way…

Innovations in this version:

• Use of lightbox script for image zooming
• minimal text as far as possible
• use of pictures to make the site more interesting…

Future works:

• use that banner (or another one )or a lighter version of the banner onto this blog
• use criticism from my friends and visitors to make the site better
• make a new intro banner, by replacing the existing one, dated 2 years back too!

Have a look now and do leave a message

Level 19, thats where my cousin Neha and myself have reached till now, and seems that there is a long way to go before the end since it has 37 levels from what i read some mins ago.

Hey Neha!, 18 nivos encore ena pu aller la! lol !

Wikipedia says:

Snakes is an update to the classic Snake game from Nokia. It is freely downloadable from the Nokia N-Gage website, and can be copied to another N-Gage handset via Bluetooth. A new version is now available as an embedded game on most N-series smartphones from Nokia.

During our “narien a faire” time, we take turns to play, trying to reach the next levels, and just for tonight, we finished 4 levels i think.

The Queue level:

below, the “Double Cross” level,nice



Dont know when we will finish the game, but sometimes its really tough, especially the hex fields levels like below:



It can be downloaded from here or in many other sites, freely…

Does anyone of you play this game?
Which level u reached???

Wow…hehe, am a bit older, 23 yrs now

Nice surprises since yesterday, so i will start from there itself…

It all started by a lunch, prganised by my project team members

Then, i distributed sweety sweets to the whole DCDM 5th floor, got a nice card and pen as gifts…

I didnt expect that the 2nd part of the birthday celebration would be so …surprising!

We planned to meet in Shooters after work and at about 7pm, i joined Dhaneesha, Veronique, Richard, Rama and Nirvini…
After a drink, and of course “bane kouchou kouchou” between those present, who were organising something, which turned out to be nice

Suddenly, some (nice & hot) waitresses of shooters came before me with a nice and large cake, with a Happy Birthday song being played in the background, in the whole shooters!

Everyone there gazed at us, with the birthday cake, and its candles…
LOL, it was so ….nice of course, and embarassing for me, with everyone looking at me, just imagine! i dont have words to describe that…

Thnks Dou, Vero, Richard, Rama & Nirvini!

After that small party, we ate at pizza hut, after making rounds and rounds in port louis, trying to find some food at about 10pm!

I reached home, nearly 0030hrs!

---

I woke up by the loads of happy birthday wishes being sent through sms at about 6am and immediately, i contacted the others to wake them up, koz i had organised something for my birthday since the last days…

A “Randonnee Dans Black River Gorges Natural Park!” Organised by the Underground Committee, under the code name “Underground In Nature Version 2.0″, the first one being, “Monte Le Pouce”

Participating members : Nisha, Vero, Vana, Steve, Chandra, Ravi, Michael, Sandra, Vissen, Fadil, Zainab and myself…

Everyone was worried, because of the loads of rain during the night and we didnt know if we would be able to climb down from Petrin to the Natural Park as planned…
A van picked all of us, as scheduled and despite the HEAVY RAIN, we started to our journey down to the Nature Park Parking, at the bottom.

Oh yes, before i forget, thnks Fadil and Zainab for the surprise birthday cake in the middle of the forest, with each and everyone in the group singing happy birthday! that was original!!!

Lots of us fell down, full of mud, drenched 100% and everyone was worried if u would succeed in reaching the bottom, on time and without hurt!

But, as Usual, WE DID IT!

4 painful hours later, we reached the bottom, near the river where Sandra, Vissen and Myself swimmed in the water for some mins, well, at least, tried to swim!
The van picked us back and at 6pm, i reached home, where the birthday celebrations continued!

My next door cousins, Deepa & Neha had a nice time, crashing eggs on my head

Thats how i have been celebrating my birthday with my friends and family :DI would like to thank everyone who participated today, but also, the loads of friends who wished me happy birthday, either on mobile, sms, msn or facebook!

VERSION PIRATES - On S’attache

When Navin is ill

Il devient hostile

Il veut pas que la presse nous en informe

 

Quand son ti’ vente a mal

Un ti suppo oral

 

Il a toujours l’impression qu’elle  l’espionne

Il Confond constipations

Avec conspirations

 

REF

 

Et il fait tout ce qu’il faut pour

Qu’il l’attache et qu’il l’emprisonne

Avec sa police, qui nous impressionne- même pas

Qu’il l’attache et même qu’il l’assomme

Et rien n’empêche, a c’qu’il la bâillonne

Oh non…

 

D’un chef de file

Il a pas le profil

Mais sur sa santé l’aime pas qu’on le questionne

Y s’prend pour James Bond

En Aston Martin,

Faut dire qu’il la préfère à l’Aspirine

 

Comme chacha il hait la presse

On dit tel père tel fesse (Hé, tel fils !, Ah bon…)

 

REF

 

Et il fait tout ce qu’il faut pour

Qu’il l’attache et qu’il l’emprisonne

Sa cellule de Conne qui nous impressionne – même pas !

Il rabâche et il s’époumonne

Soigne so crise lasthme are coca ek rhum

Oh non…

 

PONT

 

On le sait bien

Les quotidiens , les hebdos, la radio, ca lui fait mal…

Tout a fait anormal

Et c’est ran

Que Calikan

Lui conseille des trucs pareils

A chaque Ercéfuryl

Mais t’es qui ? 

T’es pas normal..

 

REF

Il fait tâche dans son ti caleçone

I’ faut qu’il avale un ti’immodium, oh oui

Il attache et il emprisonne

Si la presse parle de sa cortisone

Oh non…

Il se fâche, faire dimane pardone

Envoy la police pou li pose questiones, il faut

Qu’on le lache car il nous couillone

Couma ene Andrews, bizin fair li fonne…

Oh oui
