  8. @ Nitin,
    waiter did appear dutifully and did me a huge favor for that moment. :) so thats abt the whole episode.

    @ DDD,
    :) yes, you are riiiight. But even brothers and sisters-in-law do it when they have nothing else to do.

    @ Ajan,
    log in to orkut and search for the answer to your question. :P

  9. i totally agree with V. there is no need to get married before 27 (and that's the SOONEST!)...
    and yeah.. finding a groom near Vs place is also a good idea!
    :D :D :D

    so, have you decided yet? :D

  10. @ Rayshma,
    I dunno abt 27 or 28 or 25 or anything... but def me not getting married near V's place. Sg is so hot, humid and unpredictably rainy, man! I can hardly stand the heat. :P :D
