I felt that Blake Lewis’s performance (You Give Love A Bad Name) on American Idol last night was really entertaining; very unique and captivating, compared to others. Hopefully, it’ll be enough to keep him for another week. Results, tonight!
Last one. I was finally able to fully utilize my camera without any constraints!!! So, I mentioned previously that I was at the beach, should be Marina Beach, one of the longest in the world. While minding my own business, I can’t help but to notice quite a number of onlookers staring awkwardly at me. Can’t exactly blame them, I mean, who the heck dons full formal attire, complete with leather shoes, to the beach anyway? It’s like, wearing a Barney costume to a formal function. But it’s really a lot of hassle to change into something else, so, let them stare lah.
Formal leh?
Front view, I was halfway towards reaching the shore. My elongated shadow, cool?
Look right, beyond reach. Some kids were playing cricket there.
Look left, also beyond reach. Just to show how long the beach really is. Street peddlers all around.
One of the weirdest things is, there were no trees around, and the beach lies beside the road, feels more like a desert to me. Initially, I planned to walk barefooted to the shore, but immediately changed my mind after realizing the sand is not exactly THAT clean. I sunk a little with every step I take; it has become a task, more than a leisure stroll to head out there. The walk of faith, hahaha...
Judge for yourself when I say its not really that clean.
Further out, I finally had the sea in full view, and it was… really murky, with large and strong waves coming in all the time. Funny thing is, the sand and sea are not connected the way it should be, flat shoreline, with waves of seawater rushing in. It’s as though part of the sand was hacked off, creating a small edge overlooking the seawater. Okay, my explanation sucks, whatever. I made a video, but the wind was just too strong, it’ll be another disaster to post it up. *remember the Perhentian one?*
Murky seawater, as bad, if not, worst than KL’s very own teh tarik special..
Look, there’s the hedge and about 1 feet below, will be the shore. Weird right?
Nearby was a fishing village, not too far away, but I was lazy, a really large crowd had already gathered there. My guess would be, the fishermen have returned. Since there’s really nothing much to do, I headed back to the office. Then attended a meeting, till 10 something and got stuck in a massive congestion, where the vehicles were so near to each other that I can touch the car next to mine effortlessly, not even needing to fully stretch my hand out!!! *scary*
The nearby fishing village, crows were as many as the amount of people there.
Come and buy my fishes, fresh, big and cheap... buy 2 free 1. I made that up, okay?
Fishing boats and the round thing you see are fishing nets, not corpses.
Nearly missed my flight in the end and you know what, the stupid Indian Airlines only allowed a single hand luggage per person, INCLUSIVE of the laptop bag *curses* Luckily can stuff everything into my backpack. Needless to say, the plane was again full of Indians, and there was one particularly loud and annoying passenger, you know, those who crave for attention. Again, luckily, he was sitting quite far away. Oh, I got to witness sunrise from the plane as well, so beautiful, beyond words *beams*
Another picture of me. Someone said I look as if I’m constipating. At least, no more Chow Yun Fatts.
And since I was not able to capture the sunrise in the plane, here’s a sunset in Chennai.
Touched down at 8 something (local time) so it felt as though I lost 4 hours of my life, just like that… Went home, took a bath, and then went back to the office for another project. I’m a workaholic, self-confessed. Overall, can’t really say that I’ve experienced India, since it’s kind of limited, being a business trip (which you’re supposed to be working and not enjoying) and all. Well, at least I’ve been there, I guess. All I can do now is, look forward to the next trip, if available, hehehe.
