A few pictures for now

shot at, 4:13 PM.

Wordy post. Update another part tomorrow. Too much to say already. Pictures will hopefully be up by then also.

Pictures won't be updated by order any more. It's only the 12th day here and i have 6000 plus pictures worth a total space of 16GB. Saturday and Sunday were both very hectic as the whole day was spent going out visiting places. Therefore there wasn't any updates. Monday was lesson as usual with a lot of work to do. Proceeded to a temple to have a look see and experience what it is like.

My appetite has been dam good since coming over here and i have been have eating at least 2 servings for every meal. We got randomly chosen into groups too and i am like the only guy in my group with 4 other girls. Die already lah.lol

Had a lot of fun for both Saturday and Sunday with the outings. Got a free tan too.haha Visited a lake on the mountain an a waterfall even further up. The view up there was really breath taking. It's much different than genting. At the lake on the mountain, they have those paddled boats for rent. 20 Mins is for only 30 rupees which is like less than SGD$1.00 Go to singapore and i think it would cost you 10 bucks? Thought of getting the four seater one and share with Mr.Kumar but the four seater ones were all taken up. In the end, shared a two seater one with girlfriend and she was afraid to go at first. But she went eventually and we really enjoyed ourselves. Paddled one round of the lake for 20 Mins before heading back.

After that was a museum visit before we head to the waterfalls. Littering here is like a must. Cause it's so hard to find a dustbin unlike in singapore. Even the teachers throw the litter on the floor. That explains the numerous holes at the side of the roads. They would dig holes to throw the litter in and leave it to burn. Even after our lunch at the museum, we dump our litter on the floor.

Waterfall is up next! The distance was really a killer, had to walk quite a distance and then have to make our way down to the falls. Everyone dread on how we were going to get back up later.lol It's a rather small waterfall but it's good enough for me already. It's not like i can get to see a waterfall everyday. Visited another lecturer's house this time for dinner. Doc. Lisa and family were very welcoming and their jack fruit from their own backyard was really really two thumbs up. The previous home we visited was Doc. Paul's place and he had his own backyard too with different kinds of fruit trees.

Overslept yesterday as i was too tired to wake up. One whole group of us were up stairs at the senate hall with 8 of them dota-ing and a few more just doing their own things. Was editing pictures and managed to complete a few. 2 days ago was Holi. A festival which the northern part of India celebrates. Although i'm at the south, the campus here has 50% of it's student from the northern region. Therefore they celebrate Holi too. We joined them for the celebration in the morning and it was a experience that i didn't had in singapore.

Welcoming us to join them.

A lot of colours were used and they were enjoying themselves.

Walking over to start and "Attack" us.

How i got this shot?
I wasn't suppose to get involved as i was at the sides taking photos.
Then this bugger came running at me and got me all dirty including my cam.
Lucky it's not that bad to clean off and i manage to get a shot of him.

This is what happen and it was suppose to be only one colour. But Mr Kumar kept adding more to my face -.-

Their celebrations involved ripping off their clothes too and you will see many of them without a shirt and badly torn pants. Do this in singapore and you will most likely get whacked.lol

Group picture!

Second day at India. During the campus orientation.

That would be all for now. Will try to upload with even more pictures the next update. Click on the pictures for a bigger view but i didn't resize them. So it might be really big. So bear with it for 6 weeks.lol Have a lot of things to do right now and i have very little time to edit pictures.

Time check: 6:55am
The sun over here rises early and goes down early too. At 6am, it's getting rather bright already. Just finish my lab exercises and decided to blog in the morning while everyone is sleeping cause i will only be the only one using the internet and i will have very fast connection all to myself.lol Uploading pictures on blogger is possible also cause i think due to the fact that no one is using the wireless at the same time with me.

4th day in India now and having a mini festival or something later on. They would be throwing colourful powder at each other and the main purpose is to be happy. Loads of pictures taken but not enough time to process them.

Thankfully, able to adapt well to the food here and i have yet to have food poisoning. The people and staff here are really really very nice. Everytime we have problems with the rooms and all, they will do something about it quickly. In singapore, i think we will take at least a day.

My room's heater switch burst when my roomate was bathing and we reported it to the guy over there. He said he will get some help in the morning. Half an hour later, 2 guys on a motorbike came all the way down from dunno where at night just to fix it straight away for us.

Will update again tomorrow morning and hopefully with even more pictures. Time to prepare for breakfast.

Post exam activities was fun. Lunch at mac and slack for a while thinking of a place to go. Decided on parklane for lan with brian, shafiq, helmi, roydon and kah leong. Played a few hours and got 18 dollars voucher. Become like machiam never pay lidat.lol They then went to jam and i went to meet gui sheng and ron. Had mac again for dinner and waited for the rest to arrive. Lan-ed again and was seriously dam tired already. Charis left earlier cause she got work at 3am.lol Left after 3 hours or so and gui drove us to yishun. Accompany eulyn for her late dinner before going for tau huay. Super duper long never eat the yishun tau huay already. That one is the bomb and the best ah.lol

Thursday was spent catching up on sleep and resting. Did nothing much and slept mostly through out the day. Headed down to my great grandma's place to collect the bags as it arrived yesterday. The rain was dam heavy and i wasn't prepared for it at all. The weather was still very hot when i left the house. Got caught in the rain and ended up borrowing a umbrella from my great grandma. The package was rather big too and had a hard time going up the bus and all.

Went to tan tock seng on friday morning with dan to accompany bjorn for his check up. Waiting time was long and i slept like some retard at the waiting area.lol Bjorn treat us subway afterwards cause he was late in the morning. Went town to see stuffs and dan wanted to get some things. Got home around 5 and went for soccer a short while later with them.

Shopping with girlfriend on saturday but i didn't get anything. Nothing much to buy for now. Saw gui at suntec and i somehow know will bump into him.lol

Cleared up some old toys today and spend my time either sleeping or watching tv. Next week is going to be very busy and i'm going to fly off in one week's time. Very fast.
