Day 2 – DPS Vasant Kunj, Tour around DPS VK & Dilli Haat!

LOLS.

Woke up early. 6am I think to get prepared and have breakfast before going to school. They have a school bus service where a bus comes to pick students up from a certain point and bring them to school. & The school bus doesnt wait, so if you miss it… :P & to ensure that I managed to get to school & that I dont sabotage Navkaran to NOT be able to go to school, I was like, MUST WAKE UP EARLY AND NOT LAZE AROUND IN BED. LOLS. & of course I didnt miss any of my bus trips. :)

The bus rides are like at most an hour long & you pass by lots of uncanny sights you dont witness in Singapore… such as a whole street of MARBLE factories or distribution outlets & cows circling a rubbish dump chewing on GOD KNOWS WHAT! & of course you get to hear incessant honkings from every mode of transportation, which is really, deafening but one definitely gets used to it just after being in India for a day. :)

Upon arrival at school, if Im not wrong we toured the school premises, skipping the visit of the Vice Principal, Mrs Bindu Sehgal & Mr Vinay Kumar as well as catching a short clip of the School (but of course we managed to do it later!). Zomg la. The school campus is like enormous can? Big enough to house like preschool, primary school, secondary school & junior college, which is like WOW! But the staff there dont know each other. Like the presch teachers wouldnt know the prischool and etc. :) & its like they have their own mini-hospital facility, which is waaaay better than our sick bay, which is nothing but a bed. :) Oh and its really green in their school, LOVELY flowers & shrubs. The gardens are like WOW, never seen before in India sort of thang :) Their classrooms are like, almost the same size as ours, just that they have lesser people in a class & their tables and chairs are wooden, and they use a chalkboard, which is way better to draw diagrams, says Mr Tai and Mdm Marina can shade all her sectors in well, a wide array of colours for Math. (: & its inexpensive! But old school….

After which we had Dhandya (spelling someone?) with Mrs Bharti Dasgupta, which was really funny & fun at the same time. Cause I couldnt get the frigging steppings right & its like, the dance itself is really cool. & different from what one expects Indian dance would turn out! & I guess my partner really got choleric and annoyed by the fact that I couldnt get the horse steppings right and I did twenty eight times of the stick hitting, when it was only supposed to be 8?!

Had lesson observation where the teacher droned on Math, some cartesian sets is it? And some ordered pair shizz, which appeared to be QUITE easy. Haha & I randomly snapped a few shots of her in her candid poses, without her knowledge of course :)  Haha, then we had English, which encompasses Literature also, and the teacher just blabbers off the answers, which Im really amazed cause she answers the question that she poses herself. =,=

After school we headed down to Dilli Haat, a handicraft bazaar which has seriously OVERPRICED goods. Its like ironical cause its all the same place, and they could be selling the SAME things, but just at different stalls. & the cheapest shop sold a box for like 100 rupees (is it?) whilst the shops sold them at 350, though I managed to haggle until 250, but I rejected, CLAIMING that i disliked the colour, when I myself didnt want it. -.-  the girls bought quite a fair bit of things, whilst I just didnt get anything. Wait. EVERYONE got smth but ME =,= Lols. Sorry >_>

After that we went to Pizza Hut to celebrate Mitaali’s Birthday! Woots! We had like Double Cheese pizza, Hawaiian, Chicken Something! & something else. HAHA. Had lots of fun there I guess. & its the first time I drank PEPSI in India. According to Weiqin, its bitter, but I still find it akin to Singapore’s one. LOLS I think my tastebuds = screwed big time! :)

Ciao. :)

Day 1 – Toucheddown, Welcome & Homestay!

Was really ecstatic when I saw Eugene, Huan Ghee, Aihua & Demas at the airport. LOL. That EUGENE ar, tricked me into thinking that he was going to celebrate JianKai’s Birthday and that he couldn’t make it. Ya right. -,- LOL. Was really touched when I knew they came la. Haha (:

Left for the departure gate upon knowing our flight was at last call, which I dont know why, although it was only 340pm at that point in time… HMM… LOL Screwed airport operations…

SQ 408 was great. Nice + pretty cabin crew, even for the guys. There was one towering at like 1.9m is it? Haha. Based on my lousy estimation. There’s this stewardess who like, had great service when me and Jingyu tried to be fussy and only wanted meat instead of vegetarian. In the end, we ended up with an original lamb & one Spaghetti with meatballs (a CHILD’s meal! ZOMG!). Heh :)

At Indira Ghandi International, there was like major queue cutting for some shizz reason! Everyone just like, shovelled their way through and it was rly annoying -,- Really not a good airport, cause its like, tiles were chipped then there are random pillars that pop up in front of you, and practically the whole airport is undergoing renovation, so as to create a world class airport that awaits us! HMM! :) I do hope to see a world class airport when I get back there! (I MUST LA!)

The buddy’s welcomed us with a ritual where some red stuff was placed on our forehead that formed a dot alongside with rice grains. Hmm, whats that ritual called?!

At Navkaran’s house, I had butter chicken, cottage cheese (PUNIT, in Hindi) and curd! (ACK!) Curd is liek totally sour. Its the same as yoghurt just that the Indians have it like plain and its super sour for my tastebuds. :D Butter chicken rocks la :) Its super creamy and it has just the appropriate amount of spices.

Navkaran’s family is really hospitable and warm. His sis has like such pretty eyes la! Haa. There’s like a helper, Raju and a external driver that makes his family a sixtet! :D Haha, was kinda nervy & jittery plus afraid cause I didn’t know how to respond when I was enquired about stuff. Haha! Got to taste some Indian Sweets, something like sugee biscuits with dried fruit on it, but its yellow! Its from the Golden Temple in Amritsar though! Exotic eh! :D Haha!

(:

Haha! :D Thats all for Day One! Shall continue some other day, ciao.

Incredible India with the Best of Buddies :)

My heart sank.

I didn’t know if returning home was something I anticipated much.

It’s been a really good 9/10 days in New Delhi, India, and I’m proud to say that I’ve enjoyed myself to the brim. :D I really really really feel sorry and awful for having so much pessimistic insights and negativity before I went there; cursing, swearing, whining, rambling, you name it, I did it. :(

I’m sure gonna miss Alokik a huge bunch. :) Thanks for being such a wonderful buddy to stay with for my last leg of my Delhi trip. Though I wasnt your buddy at all, I thank you for opening your house to allow me to come join your family in their routine & treating me with such great hospitality & care.

Though I’m not close to Navkaran, but I still am grateful for hosting me at your house & allowing me to try exotic Indian flavours like butterchicken, chicken tikka etc. I will remember how you treated me with so much concern and worry. (:

And to Anandi, thanks for not minding my annoyances and my incessant bugging. (: A thousand thanks for your constant sharing of your knowledge about India, its history & its politics whenever I probe! :D & thanks for allowing me to tag along shopping & eating like a glutton at your house. It was sure fabulous :) I will TRY to be more interested in the conversations over the PHONE next time!!! :D & yes I do miss you also.

To the rest of the Indian delegation, thanks for making this trip so enjoyable & heartwarming. It’ll leave beautiful memories within me and the experiences I’ve gained will not come to naught! :D

& the rest my GREAT friends in Singapore! I REALLY MISSED YOU GUYS A LOT! :) Bought stuff for you guys, dont know if you guys liked it but… nevermind! Thought that counts! (at least that applies to me!)

Ciao.

Incredible India with the Best of Buddies :)

Bye World! :D

Heh.

Going away from home for 9 days. :)

Will miss you guys alot, especially those who I’m rlyrly close to. :)

Million thanks to those who tried to “send me off” during tonight’s farewell dinner! :)

Lyria, Zongsheng, Zhengyang, Yuhui, Demas, Huan Ghee & Eugene :D

& for those who tried to make it, but failed because of my HSKJDHJKSHJKDHKJ! excuse

YUANCHEE THE PUNY PRUNE :D

But its rly ok. It’s the thought that counts, really :) & I’m thankful for having such a great bunch of bananas! People who add happiness (instead of potassium!) & fun! (instead of iron or whtnot!).

& I AM GRATEFUL TO THESE PEOPLE,

KENDRA, JANE LEE (WHO TRIED TO PRETEND THAT SHE WOULD MISS ME BUT SHE WOULDNT!), ANGELINE LIM, JANE GOH, KEITH CHUA, CRYSTAL TAY, GOH HUIJIN, LAI CHEIN SIEW, JOYCE YEO, ESTHER KOH, YEO HWEE TIAN, GEELYN NG, DOMINIQUE, PHYLLIS NG, LIM SHUYING WHO WISHED ME BON VOYAGE (OR SOMETHING SIMILAR/CONGRUENT!) ON MSN :D

Take care fellow Singaporeans! :D I appreciate it alot alot :D

Will miss you guys

xoxo.

Will be flying tmrw @ 1625hrs. Will be at the airport @ 1400 hrs. EXCITED (FINALLY I GOT THAT APPROPRIATE FEELING!)

“Somehow we get inspired by others and follow suit.”

Way Back Into Love :D

Way Back Into Love :D – Hugh Grant & Haley Bennet

I’ve been living with a shadow overhead,
I’ve been sleeping with a cloud above my bed,
I’ve been lonely for so long,
Trapped in the past,
I just can’t seem to move on!

I’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away,
Just in case I ever need them again someday,
I’ve been setting aside time,
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind!

All I want to do is find a way back into love.
I can’t make it true without a way back into love.
Oooooh.

I’ve been watching but the stars refuse to shine,
I’ve been searching but i just don’t see the signs,
I know that it’s out there,
There’s got to be something for my soul somewhere!

I’ve been looking for someone to shed some light,
Not somebody just to get me through the night,
I could use some direction,
And I’m open to your suggestions.

All I want to do is find a way back into love.
I can’t make it through without a way back into love.
And if I open my heart again,
I guess I’m hoping you’ll be there for me in the end!
Oooooooh, Ooooooh, Ooooooh.

There are moments when I don’t know if it’s real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love,
I can’t make it through without a way back into love,
And if I open my heart to you,
I’m hoping you’ll show me what to do,
And if you help me to start again,
You know that I’ll be there for you in the end!
Oooooooh. Oooooooh. Ooooooooh. Oooooooh. Ooooooh Ooooooooh. Ooooooooh.

:)

Thanks for those who’ve been commenting! Touched!

Flying in 2 more days! :D

Going Bananas

:D

Bored. 

A banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, “A banana a day keeps the doctor away!”

I shall change to eating Bananas. Yey. Respond to this really brainless post if you’re bored. :D ciao. love.

Hmm….

我不知如何该好…

每次叫我举行任何游戏之类的活动,我总是心中忐忑不安，犹如十七个吊桶—七上八下。我总觉得会有人会感到无聊，无法尽情享受那欢乐的气氛，反而觉得来了更闷，不来更好。但是，这胆小的我，却不懂得如何争取自己的权利，反而静静地接受那可怕的挑战，心中却希望有人会来帮我。但是，挑剔的我，总是觉得，有些游戏就那么无聊，那么的没意思，一点对这些游戏都不感兴趣，就这样一口拒绝了别人的建议。

谁能跟我说我这怪癖如何该好呢？

感想：原来在博克上用华语打字以抒发感情其实像登天一样的难哦！

Just like a poached egg…

I felt really… helpless. I tried my very best, I hope. To encourage you & give you as much support as I can & I hope you really do cheer up (: Really really. It felt like I was simmering in a hot liquid. Worried and yet, at the same time, nervy. :(

& for the other you, although you are easygoing, really carefree & really untroubled by things around you, I know you’d definitely make smart decisions :). Choices that you yourself are proud of & choices that you wont regret for life, though I’ve mentioned, life is full of regrets. :( Affairs of the heart are really messy! :( But I’ll still be of help somehow, like offering a listening ear? Or perhaps providing some ‘helpful’ advice as they call it, though I’m not well-versed in this trade.

This is why, we’re called friends. :) That’s what friends are for.

You know, its abit interesting how I’m able to stay up late. I remembered during S1, I was so hooked on to THAT online MMORPG game, MapleSEA (Yea, believe it or not, I was ADDICTED AND FULL OF IT!), and I could stay up all the way till 4+am though I had to be awake the following day for training (which I didn’t look forward too) & would always be late for training, giving the GOLDEN excuses, I have a stomachache.

In S2, I amusingly grew out of the addiction. Perhaps such juvenile games didn’t appeal to me anymore. Yet I was sometimes late for training, due to my lack of discipline & all, hovering on MSN at late hours, like these >_>. But this time, no lies :) Which I’m thankful for.

Now, I’ve grown yet again. All taller and skinner. A breviped bamboo, as Kendra terms it. Lanky & MALNUITRITIONED. & I still stay up late. Most to most, a 345 would be the time I hit the bed, and get into dreamland by 4? But havent been doing that regularly, though I’d fall asleep during sermon (Eck!) & I’d sleep alot when I can! (Like today, during the Science & Math Challenge where the emcees had a 1 1/2hr interval and I managed to catchup on some sleep for an hour or so? :D). & though I’ve been questioned why I stay up late, I really don’t know the answer behind. Never thought about it? Or perhaps I take my high adrenaline and high metabolic rate for granted. Exhausting it at such a young age, thinking I’d be still alive and kicking, growing old graciously at the horrid age of 80. Like what, my BA SHI DA SHOU -_-! with a splendid cake & a grand celebration. & perhaps today I might have found the answer.

Perhaps this might be the real reason I stay up late. & I hope it continues to be.

But what’s this? That’s for me to know & you to find out.

Hmm, I dont think SLUG would be online for me to annoy and entertain this morning. Kinda sad. It seems like we’ll never get to see her flitting around MSN like a docile deer. Mahjong or Clubbing, SLUG? O_O

Guess I’d stop rambling here. It’s a bit tad irritating for a reader who is reading at 2+ am? Ya. Kinda kills your eyeballs. Ciao bloodshot eyes & droopy eyelids. Hello bed. :D

Takecare (: & stay optimistic you 2 :D wo hui yong yuan zhi chi ni me de & the rest of my other friends who mean alotalot to me :D

“Favorite” – Liz Phair

Don’t look sexy but it just feels right
Not too dirty and it’s not too tight
Why I never threw it out, I’ll never know exactly whyKeep it in the drawer beside my bed
It’s faded pink now, but it used to be red
Starting to fray at the seams, but I know that you’ll still love me
Like you did, like you did
Like before, like before
Like we will, like we will
Be doin’ it once more

Oh baby know what your like?
You’re like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it
Oh baby know how you feel?
You feel like my favorite underwear
And I’m slipping you on again tonight

Leave you lyin’ on the bedroom floor
I leave you hangin’ on the bathroom door
Take you for granted, but I’ll always know exactly where you are

Lost you once you were hard to find
Got you back you didn’t live like mine
Thought we were falling apart but you make me feel so pretty
Like you did, like you did
Like before, like before
Like we will, like we will
Be doin’ it once more

Oh baby know what your like?
You’re like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it
Oh baby know how you feel?
You feel like my favorite underwear
And I’m slipping you on again tonight
Slipping you on again tonight
Wrap me and roll me, hold me tight
Tear me apart and make me new
Like you always do

Oh baby know what your like?
You’re like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it

You feel you’re like this is what I want
You feel, you feel

Oh baby know what your like?
You’re like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it

You feel you’re like this is what I want
You feel, you feel

Slipping you on again tonight

Oops?

Ugh.

I think Im back to games again -,- After being bored for so many days. -,- Like complaining continuously about my boredom to people on MSN <_< Sorry. But I think I might perhaps be quitting soon. I get bored easily t.t

Shitters.

=.=

Holidays make me procrastinate. & Procrastination’s the thief of time. So holidays are the…?

-,-

Am looking forward to going out with Crystal & Huijin for some shopping this weekend :D Yey! Getting a bag, I s’ppose?

Training’s ok these days. Not too bad. Ok, it’s my first training after 34328746237432 years. :D

& I managed to speak to a certain slug who wishes to be unnamed ._. After a long time. LAWL -,- & it seems like she’s growing OLD, like in another 11 DAYS. HA! Oh yes, YOU CERTAIN SLUG, if you realllllllllllly miss me, you can talk to me now on MSN. I’ve granted you the privilege eh! So treasure it. Wait a sec, shouldnt it be SLUG granting ME the privilege. Yea. Ahaha. OK. Now slug & I can communicate over the waves -,- & I betcha she would be talking to me arnd 4-5+ am in the morning. Wow.

Oh yes. I think I said something I shouldn’t have said today when Junyuan & friends were playing Da Feng Chui -,- Sorry la ah. If you dont know what I said, then ask me on MSN. I’d gladly apologise JY! Sorry! :(

I am so looking forward to the chalet organised by 03. First, I get to camwhore. :D Second, I get to do random stuff. Third, I get to kill time. Sounds promising ya? Oh yes, I can get to clean up people’s remnants and shite also :D Good. All in the name of fun :D & I get to see who snores and who… drools… sleep talks, sleep walks and doesnt sleep! :D Haha, I guess I didn’t do this last time. & Hope I get more juicy gossips. :D:D Sounds even more enticing and attractive huh! :D

Dominique asked about having an OBS Outing. I gave an unenthusiastic response like, anything lor? Hurrrrr. CS & I were talking abt OBS the other day on MSN. Perhaps we ARENT very bonded with our watchies although we spent like 5 days of our lives tgt. Well, I guess those people whom you go hi-bye to, are just acquaintences. Sad right, but sadly, this is life. Life is sad. :( & moreover, I missed the first watch outing. I should be like, filled with exhilaration & anticipation about this round’s watching outing, but sadly, I am still NOT <_<

Life’s just like a merry go round. It’s up to you when you want to halt the revolution and the circling. I guess, Im just one that sits on the merry go round and pretends that life’s a bed of roses, that life’s a breeze, though Im deeply troubled inside.

HA. Apparently SLUG should have a blog. That way I can find things to talk to her about. & I’m jealous that SLUG took a picture with the SUPPOSED Celebrity. Ugh. & Mr Osgodby too. Oh yea, and Pretty Chan! :D Ugh. I MUST MUST take pictures with them next year. Chop stamp, guarantee. :D

12 days more. 25 days more.

Lets have a pizza insurrection. :D

Ciao.

“Built To Last”

I’ve looked for love in stranger places,
but never found someone like you.
Someone whose smile makes me feel I’ve been holding back,
and now there’s nothing I can’t do. ‘Cause this is real, and this is good.
It warms the inside just like it should,
but most of all it’s built to last.

All of our friends saw from the start.
So why didn’t we believe it too?
Whoa yeah, now look where you are.
You’re in my heart now.
And there’s no escaping it for you.

‘Cause this is real, and this is good.
It warms the inside just like it should,
but most of all it’s built to last.

Walking on the hills that night with those fireworks and candlelight
You and I were made to get love right

‘Cause this is real, and this is good.
It warms the inside just like it should,
but most of all it’s built to last.

‘Cause you are the sun in my universe,
considered the best when we’ve felt the worst
and most of all it’s built to last.
