我的最爱

我相信每个人都有自己的最爱。但当你找到后你会全心全意的爱吗？
很遗憾地。。我没有

如果有人问我‘你最喜欢。。。。？’
这一类的问题我都不知道答案。因为我不会很喜欢很喜欢一个人、物或事。我没有一个让我会用最来形容的东西。我想是我不会坚持。

记得小时候，我很喜欢画画。父母也让我去学画画。无论在学校或绘画班我都有出色的表现。但上了中学后因为课业繁重也应此而放弃了。现在对会画画的人都有着羡慕的眼光。

后悔当初不懂得坚持！

对于感情，无论是好朋友或恋人，永远抱着顺其自然的态度，不太执着。从来没有全心全意地爱一个人，结果三段感情没有一个有结果。是我还没遇到呢？还是我不懂得去爱？

也许也是不懂得坚持！

在印度的七个月，我过的很开心，因为我找到我的最爱，而且我很努力地去坚持它－旅行。我发现我有多爱旅行，我发现每一次的旅行都让我很开心、很满足。 再短短七个月我有15次以上的旅行；今年是我去过最多国家的一年。

最近我都在为我的前途而烦恼。我不停问自己到底要得到什么？要成为什么？但我仿佛找到答案但我却不肯定。但我心里唯一肯定的是我想环游世界！

Robert Kiyosaki 在书里有写过：
A women was talking about her dream car. Hence, Robert ask her ‘so, how are you planning to get it?’. The women replied ‘ I don’t know. It will just be my dream car.’

就这样我突然发现我们经常会想得到很多东西但我们很少回去思考下一个问题：如何取得到它？

既然现在我清楚知道我最后想得到什么，那我想我要学会坚持
直到我成功为止！

这一次，无论如何都要坚持自己所爱的。

Singapore - Kuala Lumpur - Melacca

In New Zealand, I have met a lot of friends from different part of the world. I remembered that when I stayed in 13E, a group of friends always talk about visit their home countries. Finally, Yohei, who is from Japan, came to Malaysia last week.

Annie and I went down to Singapore by 5-hours bus. It has been a long time I didn't travel by bus since I came back from India. Somehow, my back was very painful and affect my Singapore trip. I could not walk for long distance. Hopefully, it won't happen when I go to Japan this Sunday.

The trip was full with food! I think I didn't eat so many Malaysian food in one week. Nasi Lemak, Laksa, Roti Canai, Kumara Ball, Nyonya Food, Chicken Ball Rice, Seafood, etc.... Even I think about that now, I feel very full. I think Yohei might scare to eat Malaysian food now.

We spent three days in Singapore, two days in KL and one day in Melacca. The last night was crazy. We went to TTDI plaza, Bamboo. They are selling 42 below, the world best vodka from New Zealand. In NZ, three of us were member of KBA (Kaki Botel Association). I can't believe we drunk 42 below in Malaysia together. However, I don't think I want to go to any club in Malaysia again, I really can't stand the smoke in the pub! It was disgusting! I am wonder when Malaysia will have smoking-free club?

Back to Malaysia

This is the second weeks in Malaysia after I came back from Auckland. It is good to be at home, meeting old friends, watching Astro, having dinner at home, driving around, etc. I really enjoyed it. However, the life is getting boring. I start worry about the time back to New Zealand and my future.

To be honest, I am not willing to go back Auckland just to finish the AIESEC term and working part time. First, I don't enjoy the life in New Zealand anymore; second, I am wasting my time and money. However, it is my responsible. I always think I am wasting my time in the past four months since I only took one subject in University and the rest of the time I have contributed to AIESEC. I didn't enhance my skills and knowledge. Therefore, I am not sure should I still spending my another half year in this way. I want to make a difference but not under the environment I don't like.

This afternoon, my parent and I went to visit their business partner. He is a big person in my parent business. He was asking me if I want to work in JP Morgan in Singapore and he could arrange it for me. However, I could not make a decision. It is because I don't like Singapore. It is too near to Malaysia and too small. However, who will give up the opportunity to work in JP Morgan in Singapore, an important finance market in Asia?

______

Due to make my holiday more meaningful, I have bought two new books. I start reading "the under cover economist". Last weekend, we were discussing why the economic of Malaysia seems quite bad, however, you realise that everything has getting more expensive, the new shopping mall is opening one by one but the salary was not inccreasing, the economic is not balance. I am curious, hopefully I could understand more after reading this book.

Going back...

Yesterday I have finished my very last paper in my degree after three and the half years. In other words, I am going to graduate soon. It took one year longer than original plan. 爸，我终于毕业了！(Dad, I finally graduate!)

It has came to the end of the year. It always the happiest time in the last three years. It just because I could go back home during this time, the warmest in the world.

Next week, I will back to Malaysia, my home. Seven days...

Home and family mean a lot to me now after these three years away from home most of the time. I appreciated the time I can go back home especially my dad health is not stable from the last two years. I always feel so guilty that I always not at home and could not give them the support. I plan to do as much as I can in the next two months and spend most of the time with you.

Tomorrow, I have to start looking for part-time job for 2008. It will be the last six months in New Zealand. Then, I will move forward... another experiences are waiting for me...

My last four months

It has been four months since the last time I updated my blog. Some people have asked me why you didn’t update your blog for a long time? Why? Just I didn’t feel like.

The last four months were very different experience and stage in my life. There were a lot things have happened.

The lonely…
The lonely part is after I came back to New Zealand, I have to live by myself. I really don’t like it although it is such a nice apartment. It is just because I felt very boring and lonely. It reminds me that how good was my life last year. Every time I met Yohei, we both missed the 13D and 13E so much. It was the best time for me in New Zealand. However, every thing has changed.

The most memorable …
It has to be my Turkey trip. I went to Turkey in August for AIESEC International Conference. Although it could not meet my expectation, I had the very first chance to go to Europe. Turkey is a really amazing place, it is very different from the place I have been (although it is not that many). However, due to lack of money and time, I could not travel around. I must travel there again.

The happiest and most achievable moment…
It is my Executive Board (EB) team in AIESEC. Somehow, we become a very good team and the bonding is amazing. I am glad that I run for this position. We achieved a lot just in four months. It remind me the time when I was the president of Chinese Orchestra. We worked hard, played hard, laugh and cry together...

The hardest…
Again, a decision time is coming. I have to make decision for next year, should I start my career finding a job, or should I apply for Member Committee position of AIESEC New Zealand. This problem has bothered me since I came back from Turkey. I have thought a lot but until now I still could not make up my mind and make a decision. It is the hardest decision in my life so far. I have talked to a lot of people, I have done a lot of analysis, but…
I am waiting for the moment, which I can make the decision and a decision that I won’t regret.

Now, I am looking forward to finish my last exam and going back to Malaysia for two months. Of course, the most exciting is going to Japan during X’mas and New Year Eve. ☺

Back to NZ

After a long journey, I came back to NZ again. After taking four times flight, I came back to Auckland now. It was a long and tiring journey.

Today, I just got back all my stuffs from Jack. It is really a lot of things. Thank you so much for keeping and moving my stuffs for long time. I am so sorry about that.

It was very different compare to last year when I came back to NZ again. This time I came back during winter. So from 35 c reduce to 6c. The first time I feel NZ is so cold. Besides, since I came back from India, everything is so expensive for me. Every day have to convert the money. It makes me miss India so much. But NZ is still NZ don't have too much changes.

This will be the last year I stay in NZ. I will leave NZ next year Jun. And, I guess I won't come back for the next 20 years.

I have a lot to do during this 12 months. Especially personal improvement and prepare my career after graduation.

Count down: 7 days

Next week this time I may be packing my stuff and ready to leave India.
Seven days leave…

How do I feel now?
“Complicated”
I was arrived India last year November. After seven months, I am going to leave the Incredible India. I know I am leaving next week but I am not ready at all. This is the first time I am going to leave a country which I may not come back again. And here have a lot of memories.

It is too complicated. I am not sure how do I feel now.

But I am sure I will miss India a lot.
Although I do complaint a lot, I really love and enjoy my Incredible Indian Life.

被我遗忘的父亲节与端午节

Father Day and Dumpling Festival have slipped out of my mind…

父亲节·FATHER DAY
Sunday evening
I expect mum would call me to ask how my infection was.

“Today is father day. Do you know?”
“Is it? Oppss, I forgot!”
“Later send message to you dad.”
“O.K. I will”

“父亲节快乐！你要好好保重身体。我这里一切按好，不用担心！身体健康！”

端午节·DUMPLING FESTIVAL

Today, after lunch time, as usual we will go up to the roof to get some fresh air before go back to work.

Then my Chinese colleague told me，
“ Do you know yesterday was Dumpling Festival?”
“Is it? Oppss. I don’t know.” (same reaction =.=’’’)

Hmmm.. I miss the dumpling so much!
Can’t wait to go back and have it again!

My favourite:
Salty Dumpling (咸粽) = egg yolk + salty pork + nuts

Mother-Sense

My mum seldom gives me a call.
Although she does not know I felled sick, she still able to call me every time when I was sick.
Never miss it!

I’m wonder does my mum have six-sense.

Last week, my stomach was very painful.
I decided to go to hospital to find out what happened.
I didn’t want to tell my mum because she will worry so much and start her “India Hygiene Talk Show”
I was thinking in the hospital: Mum, please don’t call me.

When I leave the hospital and waiting for the auto,
my phone ring…..
is mum!

“where are you?”
“In the hospital.” (I can choose not to tell her but I can’t lie)
“What happen? Why you go to hospital?” (start worry…)
“Stomach pain. So come here and do some checking.”
“O.k. what did doctor tell you?”
“Don’t know yet. Waiting for the report. Have to come back later. Don’t worry! Indian doctor is one of the best ”
“Oh ya. Is better check carefully.”
“yes.”
“Must because of the hygiene. Becareful! India is very dirty… Water must cook before drinking.. drink mineral water!... ….. ….” (15 minutes)
“o.k! I will. Don’t worry”

Two days later, she called me when I was meeting the doctor!
Oh god! Mum do you have six-sense!

But when I was sick, mum is the only one who really cares about me!

Thanks, mummy! Love you!
Sorry to make you worry again!

Bad sign? or good luck?

I just went to the toilet in the office, when I just closed the door....

suddenly, the light went darker
and something fly over my head
and blakkkkkkkkkkkk ......

The light bulb cover which made by steel was infront of me on the floor...

Then, "I nearly die??!!!" came to my mind.

I still feel a bit scared now...
If this thing hit on my head, I think may die in the toilet without any notice!
Somemore, today is friday 5.20p.m.!!!!

God! Am I lucky?

根•Root

I am not very sure the whole process of the closing of Chinese primary school – SRJ (C) Damansara (白小). I just know it was closed by government with some unfair reasons. And if I am not mistaken, it was the only Chinese primary school in that area. I realised that it was seven years ago.

Here is the story of Xiong Yu Sheng, the president of protecting SRJ (C) Damansara society:

Xiong Yu Shen stayed in Damasara since 40 years ago. He had no idea about Malaysia Chinese education, 董教总 (Chinese Education Society), etc. when he joined this. He is a great man who never chooses to give up. Now he is an important person in the history of Malaysia Chinese education.

Unfortunately, such a great person was not supported by the family when he is doing this. His eldest son has fight with him couple of time for giving up joining this kind of activity. His son could not understand why his father still doing this after his retirement. It does not bring any profit but have to spend a lot on that. The saddest thing is his son was graduated from this school.

He told his dad, “It doesn’t make any different if you participating!”

多你一个不多，少你一个不少

Mr. Xiong was argued with his son. His son was disappointed then left Malaysia and immigrated to Australia without notice his dad. He only knew after his wife told him.

Now, he was only supported by his wife.

I have to say “Mr. Xiong, thank you very much! Your effort won’t be wasted. Although you lost an idiot son, I believe the kids who have the chance to received Chinese education will appreciate and treat you as dad!”

I had 15 years Chinese education, from kindergarten until secondary school. Once, I gave up receiving Chinese education after primary school. Thanks to my dad, it was the only thing he forced me to do. I appreciate this! At least I don’t have to be a banana (Chinese could not speak or read Chinese).

马来西亚华教的路有多艰辛相信受华文教育的我们都非常清楚。这条路还有很长很长，还需要很多血与汗来延续。可是有多少马来西亚华人还在意这一切呢?不轻易放弃华文教育呢？

给那些无知的政治家：
我们要保留我们的母语，并不代表我们反政府。我们还是以身为马来西亚公民而感到骄傲。消灭华小，结果又有何差？难道当所有华人不再懂华语时，才叫做团结？

华人不能不懂华语，因为这是我们的根！

Good newspaper

As I mentioned before, I don’t like to read newspaper. However, after I find the online newspaper “Malaysia Kini” I have the habit to follow Malaysia latest news everyday now. But I found that reason I don’t like to read newspaper is still there because it always make me feel desperate.

Too many negative news everyday: Flood in KL, Lina Joy, Mongolian Lady, Samivalu, Bocor, SRJK (C) Damansara, De facto Prime Minister, etc. Bla… bla… *tired* All of these have shown how “pretty” the country is. I understand that Malaysia is a developing country, it happens everywhere around the world. However, can’t the newspaper put some happy news to motivate their people?

I still have to know what is going on in Malaysia via reading these. I will choose to read it the last hour in the office because I don’t want to start my day with this kind of news.

Looking forward a “GOOD-news-paper”

Culture Understanding - Arranged Marriage @ India

One thing I found it very interesting in Indian culture is “arrange marriage”.

For me, this concept only can assist during my grandparent time. I hardly imagine how is it occurred in 21st century. I believe may be it must still happen somewhere around the world. But never think about it can be so close to me.

When I was just arrived India, I heard about Indian arranged marriage, they even create a software/ program to calculate if the couple match to each other. No wonder India is an IT country. Based on my knowledge, they have to match their family status, horoscope (very important!), religion (unbelievable important), may be blood type (not sure), etc. Everything has to be match except the love between the couple.

At the beginning, I totally could not understand how is it going to work? How can people allowed this happen to them? How are you going to marriage a person you only meet s/he for 3 hours or 1 week? How are you going to live with a person you not even fall in love? There are too many questions I could not find the answer.

Fortunately, I know something called culture understanding. I talked to my colleague, he did explain to me how this happen and work in India. In India, marriage does not mean two persons but is about two families. If you married to this guy, actually you are married to his family; you married to his parent, brother, sister, uncle, aunty, everyone in his family. You and your husband is the last thing to consider. In our mindset, marriage is individual-oriented, but here is family-oriented.

Furthermore, guys should start arrange his marriage from 23, girl may be 20-21. WTH! They are just kids. What do you think a 21 years old girl know anything about love and marriage! For me, just a child marriage! But it really happened, don’t be too surprise!

However, the most hardly to understand is not the culture. Is why the young people, who are open-minded, high education, can accept it. Culture can be changed by time, people and other culture. It doesn’t have to be same from 1000 years ago. I have talked to three Indian guys who are old enough (21-25) to get married and their parent is looking for their wife.

I ask the same question, will you accept it?
A person, he did not have any big react on that, he is totally fine with that.
My reaction: =.=’’’, OMG!, totally can’t understand and I am not going to!

B & C person, they could not understand and don’t want to accept that as well. But they give me the same reason “they don’t want to hurt their parent”. One of them is lucky, he is till have a choice not to accept, the other is getting hopeless.

I know I don’t have right to say anything about that. But I hope my friends can be happy especially something they are going to have it for their whole life. I agree, in Indian family, if you refuse to arrange marriage, you parent will get hurt at the beginning. May be one month or may be one year. I am sure it is not going to be forever, they are still your parent.

But, if you choose to accept, you may be fulfill the family “need” but you are hurting yourself and may be the girl who is going to marry you. I know Indian guys are sweet and nice but it should not in this way. If your parent really loves you and care about you, they should respect your choice. They should believe their son can make a good choice for their life. They should proud of the choice which you have made. I know you guys care about your parent and family concept, but did you have to pay back your parent by using this way. I am sure there are 1000 of ohter ways to make them happy and prove that you are a good child.

If you accept that, it is nothing called “grandness”, for me, it is just a loser of his life. It is your life; you should take the whole responsible and choice not your parent or anybody.

You are the one who told me nothing is IMPOSSIBLE in India, because it is “I-M-Possible”. So prove it to me! If I have chance to come back to India for attending your wedding, I hope that time you told me “I marry her because I love her”.

Playing Pool + "smoky"

When I was a kid, my sister and I would never go to the comic shop, pool, internet cafe, etc. We though they are "bad" people. Even now, we still not feel good when I went to comic shop.

However, the time I staying in New Zealand. Many things have changed. Thanks for my lovely cute friend - Ms. Chloe and Jack , then I started going out for playing pool and internet cafe. I am not interested in internet cafe. But I love to play pool from that time.

After moving to India, I only have one chance to play in Goa last new year with the two Aussies. Yesterday, I had experienced the second time to play pool again. I went with my another three colleagues (Rishi, Amith and Sujid). It is fun to play it again although I still very bad at the game.

However, I am not going there again! That is the reason I never want to go play pool in Malaysia. EVEYONE SMOKE inside. I could not enjoy it because I can't really breath!! I got heavy headache. That is what I mean all the time "smoker is the most selfish person in the world!"

Thanks for New Zealand government to give its people a fresh environment.
Chloe, we are going to play pool again when we go back to the kiwiland!

how nice if the world without smoker!

Last Month In India

This is my last month in India. I know it is boring to say, but in fact - TIME IS FLYING!

The first day I arrived India was 21st of Nov. It was six and a half months ago. However, it does not feel that long at all. Some friends could not understand why I enjoy India so much. In a sentence, India change me a lot. I believe if the place can bring you a lot of experience and memory, you are going to love it forever.

I still can remember the first two months India is a hell for me. I was counting everyday when am I going to leave the country. I was looking forward to go back home. It is because I did not enjoy my life. However, everything has changed at the last month since my trip to Bombay! It was a 360 degree changed! It is one of the reason, Bombay becomes my favourite city in India although it is heavy pollution, crowded, slum everywhere, rubbish higher than hill.

Now, everytime I look back my life in India. It is always the biggest achievement in my 21 years old. It is my favourite year in my life. I know myself much better. I know where is my limit, my strength, my weakness, my relationship and my life!

This is the last month, I will appreaciate everyday in Bangalore and India. I know I would not come back for the next 3 -5 years. But, I have collected enough memory to remember this incredible country. I am going to miss India a lot!

I know I am going to experience reverse culture shock when I back to N.Z. However, I am looking forward to my AIESEC life for the coming one year. I know I am going to create another awesome year in my life.

Weekly update

My blog is a bit boring because I did not have time to update for the last 10 days.

Finally, I have finish my 60 pages internship report for my university. I am starting my semester break. It means my life just have to work and play! It is such a good feeling. Here, I would like to give a big thanks to ANNIE LOO, who scarified her weekend and sit at home helping me to check my portfolio. Thanks a lot! I owe you key chain and a big meal!

Last week, it was a tough week. I have to stay in Bangalore for two weekends to finish my report. It is kind of killing me. And my best friend + colleague + travel buddy in India, Kirsti Kvie who from Norway was left India last Thursday. I am sorry I did not have enough time to accompany her before she left but we have went to two best restaurants in Indiranaga. Hope you enjoy it. I really love the Norway "deer". Thanks a lot! I miss you so much and I promise I will go Norway soon!

So what next?

I am planning my weekend trip but can you imagine that I really can't find a place I can go! What's wrong? One of the problems is I really do not want to visit any temple anymore. Where can I go? What happened if I stay in Bangalore for another weekend? *can't imagine!*

Trust... How?

Before I came to India, I am completely trust my friends or people around me. However, India teach me "You SHOULD NOT TRUST people easily!" But I am really bad on this. How can I live without trust.

Actually I am not a emotional person. I can live alone for few months. I care about myself more than anyone. However, I treat everyone from my heart. I appreciate if someone treat me good and will give back in double.

Few days ago, I found out that may be I was cheated. I don't know who tell me the truth but no matter how must be one part lying on me. No matter who is lying, I was cheated. I just do not know who? and I do not know how to find the answer. Actually I do not have to care about this stupid things. People who know me know I can handle it easily but it just happened when I was very down (because of the NZ visa used me too much anger). Hence it hurt me a little bit.

Anyway, everything has passed. I will just keep continue to ACT strong then I will be fine.

Decide to hide myself for few days, get out of people because do not know how to deal with that!

Decision Again!

Making decision is the thing I have to do all the time.

However, how are you going to make sure the decision is right and best?

This weekend, I started my 12th Indian trip with another give colleagues in L&T Infotech. It included my manager and workmate. It was a good opportunity to talk about my future whether I want to go back after graduation. At that time they recruit me they had requested me to back to the company after graduation.

However, for the past few months I had decided not going back because I did not see how many opportunities I can have from the company. Besides, I would like to see more country. However, after talking to my manager he told me why I do not have many things to do during my internship. Obviously because I am only an intern who will leave after 4 months. And he also explain what am I going to do if I be the full employment.

After the conversation, my mind was getting very messy! A big question has came out SHOULD I COME BACK TO INDIA ONE YEAR LATER???

Actually I really have a good time in India in overall. Of course sometime you really need a break but India always have many place can let you did not feel like India. YOu always can find a place for relaxing..

The job seem very interesting if I can be the long term employee. Look at the world trend, India and China will be one of the important country in the future. My job provide me the chance to participate in this two huge market. Work in India open China market. And the China company I will interact is at least US$100 mil company. Besides, IT sector is a important sector now and future. Via this work, I can really improve so much knowledge about this sector. Besides, if the local people want to work in the company have to go through so many test and step, and at least master/MBA student. But they are giving a chance for a student only have degree and without many experiences.

The only thing I am consider is I want to experience more in other countries. I want to go to many countries before I back to Malaysia. If I stay in India for next three years, will I still able to achieve my goal of life? (retired at 35 years old) After three years I will be 25.

I am not sure. I have one year to think about that.

stubborn

昨晚由于太累了，当妈咪打电话问机票时，我却对她发脾气。 但她却还是好声好气的和我说话。今天早上特别内疚，所以发了封道歉的短讯 - 对不起！ 记得在我的部落里曾数次提起爸爸却很少写过我妈。

上星期日当我在享受我的海边假期时，突然从报章上看到 "mother day!"，才发现当天是母亲节。记得以前我从来不庆祝母亲节总觉得那是商家们用来赚钱的工具。但你三年无法与母亲庆祝生日或母亲节是自然觉得很重要。所以及时发了短讯和写了张明信片希望他能感受到我远远的爱。

我是个非常任性的女儿。我很少会在朋友面前发脾气，但在家的我却很容易失控。也许我知道家能给我最大的包容，我不需要掩饰，不需要控制自己。当拥有压力时，都会网家人发泄。想起真得很内疚！

妈妈是让我佩服的女人。其实我的坏脾气多多少少都受她的影响。妈妈非常拥有自己思想的女人。小时候由于妈妈家里很穷，而且她又是家里的老大，因此他失去受教育的机会。只有小学六年的教育但却没有阻碍她阅读的能力。

小时候我们家经济不好，尤其我在85年经济风暴出生。爸妈都须非常努力的工作给我们最好的生活，最好的教育。近年来爸爸身体出现毛病，我却在国外，妈妈需要一个人扛起这重担。自己省吃俭用就为了让我们接受最好的教育。 21岁的我却不能为他做些什么。只希望我会是让他骄傲的女儿。 但相信在妈妈的影响下，我们全家的女人都非常好胜和任性，而且一个比一个恐怖！

妈妈总是扮演担心的角色。但她从没有因为这样限制任何我想做的事、我想去的地方。她明白路是要自己闯的。跌倒了可以在爬起来！无论如何，我还有家和家人。

我不知道我的任性是好还是坏。但这任性让我更勇敢，让我更乐于接受挑战，也让我为自己负责任。使21岁的我拥有比其他同年龄的人更多的经历

突然好想哭！

10th Indian Trip - Varkala - Kayankumari - Madurai - Kodaikanal

After one week stayed in Bangalore for moving my house, I started my 10th Indian trip last weekend, from 27 April to 3 May. It was during 1st May, Labour day. This is the first time I had my real labour day as I am labour instead of student now.

I had planned this trip for very long time. At the beginning I planned to go to Shimla, some beautiful hill station at the bottom of Himalaya. However, spent INR10,000 to get a flight ticket only for 4 days it does not very economical. Hence, I changed my planned to Kerala and Tamil Nadu, South India. At first I planned to go by alone, then Carmen decided to join me : )
One week before, we went to get the train ticket, the cheapest way to travel in India. Finally I knew where to get the foreigner reservation ticket in Bangalore. However, we only can get one confirm ticket and another is 421 waiting list. At the moment, I felt like it is impossible to get a sit. However, it was cheap only INR303 for 16 hours train. So we decided to buy it, the worst is we squeeze in one bed.

Few hours before go up to the train, I had made sure that we are going to get the bed. I was really surprised that even you have to wait for 421 to cancel their ticket you still can get the sit. But here is India, you always expect something unexpected!

Finally we started our trip at 9.45 p.m. at Friday night. Something unexpected happened, the seat I though we would definitely have it actually is only a seat not a bed! At the end we still squeeze together for 16 hours!!!! Another Indian experience.

...the view from the train...

After 16 hours, we arrived Varkala, the best beach in Kerala, in the afternoon. We found a accommodation, bamboo house, at the top of cliff.

Varkala beach

WOW!! The view from the cliff was awesome!!!! I have never seen such a beautiful beach in India so far. Since I was disappointed by Goa beach I do not have any expectation of Indian beach. However, I will say Varkala is such a nice beach!

Kerala once again be my most favorite state!!!!

Unfortunately, we were only can have one night here and have to leave early in the next morning! But still good can be here!

The next morning, after having the good value Italian breakfast. We head off to next destination - KANYAKUMARI

one of best Breakfast in India

get bike from Italian restaurant

__________

Because of the breakfast we missed our train, so we decide to go by bus. We have to go to Varkala town to change another bus to Kanyakumari. However, we met a STUPID + DOGGY bus driver gave us a wrong information!! So we took the wrong bus (it does not exactly wrong just not directly). Although I know I should not trust the information from one Indian, I made a mistake again.

However, something good will happen. We stopped in a small town and accidently I was attracted by a small and dirty stall on the street. It reminded me the trip I went with Mark and Clay we always have this kind of shop. They always have good value meal. However, if you travel with intern they always scared to get stomachache. Thanks Carmen did not mind to have meal with me at this place. Then we had non-veg thali! it was delicious!!

yummy

Around 4p.m. we arrived Kanyakumari, based on Lonely Planet, we found a good room with INR200. Good deal!

my favorite photo in the trip

Then, we went to Kumari Amman Temple. I am really not interested at any temple because I am not believe any god but it always the things you have to see in South India.

Want to know the story?
According to legend, the goddess Devi did penance here to secure marriage with Shiva, who was 13km away at Suchndram. However, it was a time when the world was threatened by demons whose horrendous atrocities were creating chaos and torment throughout the universe. Vishnu advised Devi she could save the world, but only if she remained a virgin. Relinquishing her desire for marriage, she single-handedly fought and conquered the demons, so securing the freedom of the world. Subsequently, continue her penance. Pilgrims see her as a protector. They come in appreciation of her sacrifice and the freedom she secured for them, their ancestors and descendants.

I do not know do people believe it. For me, o.k. it is a story! I do not want to have any comment on that. Respect culture....

The next, we went to Gandhi memorial. Nothing much to see inside. But the view from the top is very beautiful. We sit there for a long time to have a enjoyable moment with the merging of three oceans: the bay of bengal, the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea.

Ganthi Memorial

I like the wave

colourful india

Experience the sunset and the moonrise at the same moment at the Land's End of Indian subcontinent...

At that time I suddenly come out with the idea - lets come here and see the sunrise tomorrow morning because I had ever see the sunrise from the sea in my life. If I happened it will be best part of my trip!

So we woke up 5.40a.m. to catch the 6a.m. sunrise. However, once again, something you did not expect. There are already bunch of Indian waiting there for the sunrise! I would never imagine I will see my first sunrise with so many people!!! Crazy India!!!!

It was a unforgetable moment for me. I always wish I can see the sunrise. I missed it when I went to Redang, Allepley... Finally, Kanyakumari!!!!

Yi fan (see the yatch) with the sunrise

never see these before

I don't know why this banana taste like coconut!!!!!
he was making our keychainin the night market.. everything 5 rup

Madurai

huge temple

It is one of the South India's oldest cities but I do not like the city at all. It is full of pilgrims, beggars, businesspeople, bullock carts and legions of underemployed rickshaw drivers. It is boring!!!

Here is very famous with one things - Sri Meenakshi Temple. It is a huge tamil temple. However, it is just another temple for me. However, it was good to meet the festival during the time we went there. There is something like God marriage festival which is 12 days in total and that was the last night. Lucky us!

Kodaikanal


I was quite disappointed at this place. May be I went to the wrong time. Indian public holiday since you know there are so many people here. if 1% go up to Kodai then it won't be a nice hill station I though before.

So we experienced a lot of people and many traffic hill station. And everything was too rush we are not really have time to enjoy it!

But one good things there sell good chocolate. But I am wonder where the milk from because I didn't see milk cow!!!!

This was the 10th trip in India!!! I could not believe that I really make it. After this 10th trip I definitely addicted to travel. I already start planning my NZ trip even still have one and a half month.

My goal before is 12th trip but it seems like I am able to make more.

My Goa and Coorg trip is going to upload here soon : )
