The Chennai Experience 1.

After much procrastination (Two whole weeks!!! Can you imagine that?), I've finally gathered enough determination to do the India trip, well, just to Chennai actually. It was a sudden decision by TheCompany, 1 week, I was still in KL, another week, in Singapore already, preparing to head to India. Getting the visa was hassle-free, dumped everything to the admin and Ta...Da... all done the following day. *SukaHati*

Destination: Chennai, India. Map courtesy of lonelyplanet.com.

I spent the longest time ever on the MRT, travelling from Jurong East station to Changi Airport, passing through 22 stations!!! My flight was delayed for close to an hour, and I think I'm practically the only non-Indian on the plane... wait, did I mention that I was taking Indian Airlines? Now it made sense, right? By the way, just so you know, that was my very first international flight, the previous one was only to KK. Hee Hee. On board, 80% of the time, I have no idea that the pilot or the stewardess were announcing, due to their heavy slang, including their safety demonstrations. And one thing I notice is that, some passengers, they practically threw every unwanted stuff, onto the floor, candy wrappers, tissues, plastics, whatever. *sweat* Well, it took only 4 hours to reach Chennai, travelling back in time, took off around 10 something, and touched down safely about 12 something...

Changi Airport, Terminal 1, Departure Hall, I think. *I hate taking flights, I hate taking flights...*

That's 5550.00 rupees, which is not really a lot. Though it did made me feel rich for a moment.

Closing in on Chennai, looking at a vast space filled with dots of light from high above is definitely a breathtaking experience, the view was just beautiful... The same could not be said after alighting from the plane. Looked for driver, chauffeured to the hotel. Yalah, got driver lah, if not, rent car drive myself around at midnight meh? The way he drives, imagine the worst driver you can chance upon in KL, multiply it with 10. I'm serious! I held on to the side handles frantically because I didn't manage to find the seatbelts. Since it was midnight, there was nothing much to see, only managed to reach my hotel around 1 (which was 3.30am local time) in the morning to catch some precious sleep.

Roam. Roam. Roam. Yes, I'm still using the same image on my phone.

Flight ticket, boarding pass and my room's access card. Stayed in Savera Hotel, supposingly a 4 stars rated.

This is how my room looked like. I'm not sure why there are 2 beds, since I'm the only one staying there.

That's all for now, need to rush off, supposed to meet KYtehMonkey at 6.
