iPhone combines three products — a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and searching — into one small and lightweight handheld device. iPhone also introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and pioneering new software, letting you control everything with just your fingers. So it ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, completely redefining what you can do on a mobile phone.

回家

还有十六天我便能再次感觉到家的温暖。

2005 开始独立的生活,转眼便两年了。

在那之前,我很少珍惜与家人在一起的日子或在家那舒服的感觉。对他们的爱总放在心里的某个角落。但现在对家与家人的想念,是一年比一年强。

从当年不知天高的厚, 一心只想往外飞得我,飞着飞着开始有点累了。幸运的是家永远会是我充电的地方, 让我能够继续接下来的旅程。

我知道还有很长的路要走,还有很多梦想要实现, 每一次新的旅程让我更加明白家人对我的重要。也因为这样,让这个想走遍全世界的我更加勇敢, 因为我知道我拥有一个最温暖的避风港。


p/s: 很想让你们知道我所有的思念。

Allepley – Houseboat 6 & 7 Dec 07

>> Friday, January 12, 2007

lovely state.. Kerala...
It took 2 hours from Cochin to Allepley.

We found a hotel and got some information from the hotel. However, I learnt that never believe what the person said if you only know him for 20 minutes although you feel comfortable with this person.

When we asked about the houseboat, this guy just told us it was not worth to do the houseboat in this season because is very expensive. Later he offered us that 7000 rupees and we had to share with other two people. And we could not see the boat now because all boats had gone. We had to pay now and if we don’t like it we can get full refund. At that moment, I really believe what he said and feel like booking. Luckily, Mark made a brilliant decision.

After lunch, we went down the river bank and found out the house boat by ourselves. There were heaps of boats waiting for us. We spent three hours to look for the best option – good boat and good price. I could not remember how many boats we had seen. Finally we put ourselves into a quite good situation. We deal with 7800 rupees for a whole boat just for three of us but we had not seen the boat. And another 7000 rupees.


The next day, we were excited to see our 7800 rupees boat however we really don’t like the boat so we got back our money. On the other hand, we could meet another boat. So end up we did not have any boat.

However, there still a lot of boat on the river. Finally, we found one pretty good boat and after bargaining, we got it in 7300 rupees. The best is the boat is the cleanest among so many boats we saw before. Hurray! Good deal.

1130a.m. we start our backwater houseboat experience!


Our Captain


From Bombay until now, I almost walked certain distance everyday. On the houseboat the only thing I need to do is just lie down and relax.. The life was too good for the 22 hours on the boat.

Beautiful view…
Delicious meal…
Clean water…
No pollution …
Relaxing…
Amazing…
Fun…

Another good catch photo!

I want to swim as well :(


The best moment was watching the sunset and sunrise on the boat.

Sunset or sunrise?

Slept next to the water.

Unfortunately, there did not have many stars.. But every thing is perfect!

It was one of the best weekend in my life!

2nd day in Cochin, 4th Jan 2007

>> Thursday, January 11, 2007

We went to Port Cochin again.

We rent the bike with 6 rupees (RM0.6/ NZ0.2) per hour. Travel by cycling was much better and fun!


Initially we were going to a church, but suddenly they just stopped me in a water tank and told me that we were going to claim up there. What? I had no choice and just followed them. At start I would not want to claim up. Oh my god, it was not high but is scarier than bungee jump because it was so unsaved. However, I was glad that I did it because I almost could see the whole town.




we claimed up this water tank!


It was too good to travel with these two “mad dog and mad cat”.

Then we went to church, museum and super short palace. I feel nothing inside but it was not very good for tall Australian. Besides, even I could not know that we could bargain on the enter fee of museum. “Could it be cheaper if we just have a quick look?” But actually it was not a quick look.


One of the highlight was our super seafood lunch.

First, we bargain so hard to get the cheapest price and we get:


20 pcs tiger prawn,
2 big squid,
1 big snapper.
There were all fresh!

It only costs 350 rupees
Cooking fee 80 rupees
own made salad
40 rupees for 4 big potato chips



Made our own salad!


A luxury lunch had been created!! It was very delicious and full!

---

Around 3 pm we went back to hotel. Since we need to find the “thump up” (Indian coke company which was bought by Coca-cola Company =.=’’’) to get the Doom2 ring tone, Clay and me just went out and found it.

However, Coca-cola Company seem like did not do a good marketing in Cochin, we could not find any Coca-cola after walking few street. May be after 45 minutes, we asked the shopkeeper “is it possible to get coke around here” of course his answer was NO! But we got our coke at the shop opposite it!!!
So, we had to found the way to go back. We were a bit lost but we still know the direction. So we made a deal – find the way without any asking!! This was not a good deal because we end up with very lost.

Base on experience, it is always something great will happen when we get lost. Non-stop eating all the way!! Indian sweet, coconut drink, fresh banana chips… then we went to the local market. And the best was we found a cinema the ticket only 50 rupees. So we decided to have another Bollywood experience tonight.

May be after two hours, we though it should be the time to enquire the way home! But we should not! Because we nearly there…

--

At night we went to the movie – Kebal Express. It was different with other Bollywood movie. It was more like Documentary and it was quite nice. We watched in the local cinema. There were heaps of mosquito insides luckily I had my mosquito repellent. And because of this mosquito repellent we started another crazy experience.

There was an Indian guy sat next to Clay. For unknown reason, Clay offered the mosquito repellent to him and started chatting with him. After break time, he bought us each person popcorn, Indian snack, and water. Each of us had the complete combo. We guessed that this guy must be very rich. At the end, we found out that he actually is the staff of the cinema so all the food is free. That was so cool!

After the movie, he invited to the café. And the crazy moment was started. The staffs were cleaning. They played the Doom2 soundtrack in the max volume. Could you imagine that you dance in a café like dancing in a club!

Before we left, we asked for Doom2 poster unfortunately, they could not find it. However, each of us got a book of luxury Doom2 ticket. It was so good to have that moment.

Another crazy night! I love this trip so much!!

Extended trip to Kerala

My holiday was originally ended at Goa. However, the option to go to Kerala was too attractive. Therefore, I decided to ask for one more week holiday from CRT and I got it.

It was too late to get train ticket from Goa to Kerala, so I had to go back Bangalore then went to Kerala.

3 hours local bus from North Goa to South Goa
6 hours car from Goa to Karnataka
8.5 hours train back to Bangalore
10 hours bus from Bangalore to Kerala

I spent two days, went through three states.

Finally I had arrived Cochin. Unbelievable I made it. It was crazy.

I was not very tired because I had built up a wonderful skill after this India trip – sleep under any situation! Before this, I only can sleep under certain environment – quite, comfortable, no movement, without any light then only I can fall asleep. But now I can sleep anywhere. Besides, I was told that I become a deep sleeper. Amazing!

On the other hand, I was excited to have one more week holiday and travel again.

I met Mark and Clay in Hotel Sapphire again. I was glad that I didn’t have any big problem to meet them again because of the stupid-India-mobile-phone-system. It was a nice, clean and cheap hotel and itonly cost 270 rupees per person for two night. (Highly recommended!)

Cochin is a really nice state. It was clean, people are friendly, food is cheap and nice. The thing I love the most is a “plastic free” area. I could not believe India has such a nice city! When we ask for a plastic bag from a shop called “quality shop”, the boss replied, “No! The police will give you a 200 fine!!”

Once again it shows that every place in India is different, everyday, everywhere you could find something new, different and interesting. This is India!

--

We went to Fort Cochin by ferry. It was hardly believe that it only cost us 2.5 rupees. As usual we would get lost to find some local food. This was the funniest part to travel with them. After that, went to an oldest Church in this area. I was not a big fan of visiting Church so I could not remember the name.


The best banana in the world!

In the evening, we sat next to the sea side, watching the “Chinese Fishing Net” show, and having our own “Mango juice + sprite”. Enjoy the sunset and relaxing atmosphere.

New Year Eve @ on the Rock, Goa

>> Wednesday, January 10, 2007

It was the last day of 2006.
It was my last night in Goa.
It might be the last time I met most of them.
It was an emotion night!
I planned to get drunk but I did not.
I hoped that night would never end….

I clearly remembered that I had the worst New Year Eve in my life last year @ New Zealand.
I stayed at home alone, watched the firework from 13E… by myself.
So, I wished I had a better and better New Year Eve for the every following year.

This year, I did have the best night!

Before we went for the 800 Ruppies (RM80) party which included unlimited food and alcohol. We went to pay pool. I was enjoyed it because I missed the time playing pool with Jack.

8am was the party time…

The food was great but the drink was pretty bad! I had the worse Vodka in my life. It was soooooooo disgusting! The only drink I like was Barcaddi Brezzer, wildberry flavour is the best!

I know I will get really drunk if I keep drinking. However, I start cool down. This is me. Always too rational when I was drinking!! Sometimes I should go crazy!

10..9..8..7………3...2...1… Happy NEW YEAR!!!

The firework went non-stop about 10 minute….
Everyone hugging each other…
Happy New Year… yeah… I was really Happy!




New Year Wish:

I wish I can travel around the world by my own earning!

This was the end of my Goa Trip. I love my India life so much now!
