The Chennai Experience 2.

I'm a Malaysian, blogging about a trip to India, from a CyberCafe in Chinatown, Singapore, which has big-ass LCD Samsung monitors, CPU runs on AMD processors and I'm logged into a blogger displaying Japanese language. Globalisation?

They have SOFT DIRNKS in the hotel, you can even order BEARS in CAN! Anyway, just trying to show that things are not exactly THAT cheap there. Bears... yum...

By 6.20am the following day, it was already quite sunny, totally waking me from my slumber. WTF weh, I still need more sleep! *hollers in agony* Headed for breakfast, since its complimentary, which consists of either Western style (hams, bacons, eggs, toasts) or traditional Indian (chapati, vada, sambar, idlis). Left me craving fot fried meehoon with eggs and curry chicken a lot, or wanton noodles, or nasi lemak... *drools*

Sunrise, Sunrise. This was taken at a little over 6. A view from my room in 10th floor.

This was taken when it got a little too bright for comfort.

Same as this one. Back in KL, its still dark and comfy around this time. Sigh...

Soon enough, I'm off to the office. Initially, I had the mindset that Rajan (the driver) was only driving in that manner last night because there were not much vehicles around. Forgot to mention, traffic lights there are left to blinking yellow at night, free for all. And boy, I was never more wrong, mainly because, everyone in Chennai, EVERYONE, drives like that. Zooming past, zipping left and right, out-maneuvering others, it made me wonder why Narain Karthikeyan can't perform in the F1 races. I think drivers there honk more than shifting gears, or stepping on the brake. And, most of the drivers kept their side mirrors closed. Larger vehicles even have a sign on the back, stating "Sound Horn". *Inserts many, many shocked emoticons*

The bus. Basically, its not as packed as what you see in some movies, where people are above and hanging on to the doors. Maybe cause I was in the city. Wall's Ice-Cream, hehehe.

These are AUTOS, something similar to TUK-TUKs in Thailand. The way they drive, nearly every single one can qualify as a Mat Rempit.

Nothing much happened, other than my stay being extended for another night. Most of the time was spend in the meeting room, and I have to say that the washroom in the office must have the best view in the world, facing the ocean. Tell me, how often had you enjoyed the full view of the ocean while doing your stuff? Lunch was some traditional Indian food, but the images are in my handphone cause its kinda weird to be snapping away as usual when you're dining with a Vice-President, a Senior Architect and a Project Manager... Its basically rice and with a huge variety of side dishes, basically I was just staring at it, don't know where to start. And they laughed at me loh... Adoi. Anyway, I did managed to finish most of the stuff, some were just too sour or too sweet. The taste is out of this world because you'll never get something like that locally, the flavour of the spices explodes in your mouth. Yum...

Typical street, with some people minding their own stuff.

More to come...

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.

Its Friday and...

OMG! I can't believe it but I just finished off my current workload! Settled! Habis! Kau Tim! *Continues to OMG in excitement until ran out of breath* Now I'll brace myself for the coming Monday... to be drowned in other assignments... Maybe I should just keep quiet and continue to pretend busy *whistles*

The company held a small birthday celebration for the April babies as well, and its quite different this time around, I guess its the idea of the new Head. It was done after office hours, had a bigger cake, more food and drinks, presents and cards were prepared, birthday songs were sang in Tamil, Tagalog, Mandarin, English and Malay, and I nearly missed the last bus to the MRT. I got "Who Moved My Cheese", and I think the same goes for everyone else.

After the makans, lady luck must be on my side, because the BDM offered to drive me home, in his new car, with the "new car smell" still lingering inside, the seats remain wrapped. Woot! No need to walk! Woot!

*Happyfying Moments*
