失控

最近的生活有点失控。
从上个周末到现在每一天都过的很疯狂，把自己弄得精疲力尽。
今天我发现我真得很累， 无法专心工作， 学业方面并没有兼顾得很好。
真得玩疯了。

一个月很快就过去了。。。
在印度的时间只剩下三个月。
未免也太快了！
整体来说我真的很享受这里的生活。
每天都在考虑应不应该回去纽西兰？
回去后的生活会比这里好吗？

今天又一位同事突然决定离开， 今晚将为另一位同事兼朋友饯行
这里的生活总是人来人往。
但也因为这样便得精彩！

我从来没有想过我会爱上印度，
三个月后会使我想离开的时候吗？

p/s: 明天再次旅行 （印度第七旅），将在海边渡过这周末， 是时候让自己好好休息， 也好好的想一想

Recently my life is getting crazy, since last weekend, I had a crazy evening every day; hence, I am exhausted now.

Especially today, I am too tired to work. I could not concentrate on my work. Between, I did not do much for my study. The homework is getting more.

I was here (India) for one month, there are only 3 months left.
It is really too fast!!!
I have not prepare myself to make a decision about where should I go after the internship.
Should I back to New Zealand? But will I enjoy my life there as here?
I really do not know.

__

Today one of my colleagues from Netherlands suddenly told us that today would be her last day. On the other hand, today is another colleagues and intern farewell party, also comes from Netherlands. The Indian intern life is emotional. People come and go all the time. However, this is the one of the best part.

I never think that I will fall in love into Indian life, I am too enjoyed the life here.
By the time of leaving is coming, will I prepare myself for that?
I scared to think about that.

p/s: Tomorrow I am going to my another trip in India - Mamarapullam (7th trip), I will spend two night on the beach. Is time for me to take good rest and think deeply.

India..Incredible India

Before I talked about Indian time and Indian promise. So far, I have not adapt this culture. I have more understanding but still not accepted. Last Saturday I discussed these topic with an Indian friend.

why Indian time?

Because everyone will be late

Why India promise?

Because Indian don't mind if the other party broke the promise
(such as they like to say "I'll call you back." Although they would never call you back, Indian don't mind)

After staying for sometime, I kind of get used to it but never agree with it.

Incredible India culture:-

They like to say,

"OK, listen..."

"Do one thing..."

"OK..OK..."

"Take it!"

When you travel, they love to ask,

" Your name?"

"From where?"

When they see an Asian girl like me, then they will say,

"konichiwa"

"Anyohaseiyo"

When you are in the train, early in the morning, someone will shout,

"Chai.. chai... chai" (tea)

"kopi..kopi..kopi... tea..."

"dosa... dosa... dosa..."

The auto driver like to ask,

"Madam, where to go?"

"one and the half"

"double meter"

"150..."

"give me good price"

Why most of the Indians have mustache?

to absorb the energy from sun

when you ask for direction,

it will only "straight"

no matter the answer is YES or NO,

they just shake their head,

it can be yes, no, no problem, so so, OK, not sure, may be ....

decide yourself !!!

If you are optimistic, then you definitely will enjoy the life here because it is really funny.

If not, then you will complaint and suffer all the time.

This is India, either you love it or you hate it.

Everything is just so contrast :)

文明病

还记得小时候总会和妹妹或表兄弟姐妹玩起“上班”的游戏。 现在想起还蛮好笑！

现在真正体会“上班族”的痛苦。 其实很想乐观的面对， 但还真的好难。唯一让我觉得有意义的是我终于明白妈以前常对我说 “不会赚钱， 自会花钱”“吃米不知米贵”“你以为你妈印钞票”

赚钱真的很难

每天6点起床， 乘坐45 分钟的巴士，八点开工。
开工后便等放工，
晚上不想呆在家里，结果12点才回家
天天如此

昨天发现右手的食指很痛，今天发现好像是用mouse用太多=.='''
而且快要中咖啡毒了

真的不想英年早逝。。。

原本这假日想让自己好好休息，但却又有太多没完没了的事情要做

生活好像没有这么“充实”过...

APXLDS - Global village and open ceremony

Indian Dance


Opening Ceremony

Last Saturday I went to Hyderabad for travelling. APXLDS (AIESEC Asia pasific international conference) was part of my schedule. When I was the member in NZ last year, conference always is my favourite. A group of people staying together, working together, build up the same goal, work hard and play hard; from stranger become the best friends. This is the university life I always looking for.

The time I met AIESEC was my last year in University. I always though it was too late. The only thing I could do was enjoyed the rest of the time in AIESEC. Although it was late, It is better than I had never know.

Due to the co-operative education of AUT, I have to do one internship before I graduate. Of course, AIESEC internship was my first choice. Then, I chose India. At the beginning, it was hard. I tried to escape and run away from this place. Who know at the end, I had experienced the different life at the very last moment. So I back to this place.

I had been here about 3 weeks. I was too busy with a lot of things: work, study, assignment, party and travel. Everyday is a new day for me. I have different story everyday. It is what I always looking for - my fabulous life.

I did not think about to go back NZ for long. However after APXLDS, it motivated me to go back and run for EB (executive board) next term in AIESEC LC. I want to change something :)

office work

When I was young, I would think about the life working in a company. It was excited and interesting for me. Since secondary school, I always looking forward to involve in the real business world.

However, imagination is always different from the reality.

Now, I am doing my internship and this is also my first full-time job. I was so excited before I started working. But, may be because it is an internship and it is a four-month internship. Therefore, the company would not give you too much responsible. My task is totally unmotivated to come to work.

I was given a job is undertaking research on a-250-Taiwan companies list. I have to do the same thing for each company again and again. I was really upset for last week. I could not stand the boring job. It makes me falled asleep a lot of time. I could not sit on the chair, face the computer and copy& paste from 8am to 5pm. I do not know why I am doing this.

But I become a bit positive now after discussing with my workmate. He told me that actually is a good exercise for me to enhance my judgement of important information. Ya, may be he is right. So I be a bit positive on what am I doing now. But it is still quite hard.

By the way, complaint will make my life be negative. I always want to be positive so stop complaining!

I also found out that i am not suitable to work in the office all the time.. still searching on my future career, especially the next 6 months

Indian Boss

After working in L&T Infotech Ltd for one week, I think I am not enjoy to stay in the office from 8am until 5.30pm. It is really hard. So, properly when I looking for the next job I hope to get something more interesting. At least I dont have to just sit infront of the computer all the time.

What am I doing in the company:

• Research, research and research about the Company, chinese region market (China, HK and Taiwan)
• Making company profile
• Calling them to tell about my company product (but until now I still do not know what the company selling, there are too many IT term)
• Teaching chinese for half an hour everyday =.=''''

I still have not find it interesting but I will try my best to do the best! I want to prove it to my Indian boss I am not just an Intern!!!!

regard to my boss, I am really not happy with him. He never let me to finish my sentence so far. And Indian always just follow the boss order and never ask WHY!!! He always up there, really hard to talk to him.. really wonder which century he came from!!!!!

A stupid story:

Since I am doing my internship as part of my university degree, then he suppose to sign on my assignment. But he asked me to ask my University to sent a letter to request him to sign!!! I am pissed of with him especially my due date soon. And when I told my academic supervisor, she also could not understand why he need a letter to make a signature.. Who know? Neither me.

But luckily apart from that, everything is going well in Bangalore.

Start travelling next week : Hyderabad!

Back to India once again...

Last Sunday, after watching the Chong Hwa Chinese New Year concert, I caught the train and came back to Bangalore, India again. The nightview of Bangalore is really nice! I had ever know Bangalore is that BIG!

This arrived has a big different feeling compare with last time...
I was excited before departure;
I was not scared and worry to come here since I know this place;
But, when people asked me, "how do you feel?" "nothing much!"
Hmm... I think I prefer to go to a new place rather than a place I familiar with and do not have much feeling.

Anyway, from Sunday until today, I do not have time to sleep. I realized that it is really hard to handle study and working together. I already such a long time did not experience a tiring day like right now.

I am glad my life is changing. I wish The following four months will be and must be great!!!!!

Lunar Three Family Gathering @ my home

Today is Lunar three...... All of my mum's sister, my aunty and their family will come to my house. After my grandmother passed away three years ago, it rarely has big gathering. It reminded me the time when I was young, every sunday all of us would go to grandparents house and spent the day.

However, when all of the cousin growth up and has their own life, the "young generation" didnt meet for long time. Few weeks ago, my grandfather passed away. My mum realised that we should catch up sometime if not our relationship will become worse, especially the young generation.

I am excited about today. There are 23 people come to my house. And many of them I didnt meet for long time. Since I went to New Zealand and India, I miss out a lot of chance which we could meet together, such as two cousin's wedding.

So early in the morning, my mum and I are busy to prepare the dinner. About 2 pm nearly everyone had arrived. It was really noisy!!! Imagine, 23 people were talking in the living room of one small apartment....however, it was very happy!

Delicious Dinner started..

Since our table is not big enough, we had to celebrate into three "areas"

BBQ

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

I could not remember when was the last BBQ we had. Yesterday 13 peoople gathered together in Lai Miin's house. All of them know each other because of Chong Hwa Chinese Orchestra. Our friendship already more than six years...

When I was high school, we were hanging around all the time. Thats was one of the best time in my life. Without them, my high school life would not be so great.

After graduate, we rarely to have chance gather together. Everyone has their own life.. studying, working, local or oversea.. Gather all of us is really hard.

However, after so many years, we still can keep in touch. It was great that we could gather again. We have fun, make noise, laugh loudly... as usual. It was amazing.

8 bags of Hotdog =.='''

"Our Diary" - such a suprised when we saw this book again, it brought back a lot of memories!

决定

人生需要做很多很多的决定。
这半年里我做了很多影响自己人生很大的决定，包括学业，前途，感情。
每一个决定都必须经过深思熟虑，因为害怕有一天会后悔。
每一个决定也会有得有失。经常都无法两全其美。
这一个过程有时真得让我觉得很累很累。
回家本是最好的避风港， 但每一次都是来去冲冲。
现在很渴望一个休闲的假期，可以让自己轻松一下。
也希望印度的事情能够快点解决

Delhi 2

Jama Masjid

It is a Mosque in the central of Old Delhi. India is a country has a lot of different religion. Islam is one of them.

Although Malaysia has many mosque almost everywhere, I have never been one of them. This is the first mosque I had visited.

on the way...

another picture I love

Taj Mahal

IF you come to India, you cant miss out this place. I believe that many people know about the story about Taj Mahal. But you could not understand how beautiful is this story until you stand in front of it.

Early morning we catch the train to Arga. After 3 hours, finally we arrived.

Taj Mahal is the most beautiful building I had ever seen in my life. It is amazing. I dont know how to decribe how beautiful is it. May be "weapon" is a good word which was told by Clay and Mark.

It is really beautiful... especially it was build because of LOVE. It makes this place more beautiful. I am not sure whether I have another chance to visit this place again. I will love to come again to catch the sunrise of Taj Mahal although the enterence fee is costly. I believe the sunrise here will be one of the best sunrise in the world.

I am here.... should we take off our shoe??

no matter which door you look out.. you can see a completed Taj.

Indian Time + Indian Promise

Last week I was excited about my staying in India. However, now I totally lost my passionate. I am not sure did I make a right decision. Or I just like Annie said " I put myself into hard position!" I am really confuse what should I do now.

Everything is just because of one person didnt keep his promise and responsiblity!

21 century everyone realise that Indian and China economy has grown very fast in the world. Many international companies have started their branch in India. Therefore, there are a lot of opportunities.

And lucky me got a pretty good offer as I mentinoed before. I went to the interview, although it was a bit weird since the manager did not very sure about my interview. Anyway, he promised will get back to me on Monday.

If you live in India, you will realise that many indians do not know how to keep their promise. They didnt have the strong concept which they should keep or take responsible on what they had said. Besides, the most famous things is INDIAN TIME. If they late about 2-3 hours is just a normal things. This two culture is a big challenge for me because I really don't like people be late and irresponsible. I always have to wait and wait and wait because of this. I am person who will lost patient easily, and waiting too long will drive me crazy.

So after waiting for 48 hours, I am frustrating now. I loss my positive thinking about this situation. However, thanks for mun yi, who is my buddies in senior 3, she give me many positive thinking. After chatting with her, I feel better and cool down. Just be patient and let see what will happen.

I do appreaciate during this had process a lot of people helping and support me. If not I already give up.

Thank you guys:
Gary, Hong kong - thanks for your support and be my consultant. Hope you can be healthy soon :P
Steffern, Netherland - thanks for pushing the Indian in your company. and sorry for trouble all the time.
Family - although mum and dad are not really agree that I stay in India for longer. But no matter what is my decision you guys never say NO and do give me the best physical and mental suport. Don't worry about me! You should know your daugther is pretty tough!

Overall, I am still waiting but now I will try to be positive!!

p/s: this Saturday back to Malaysia!

2nd destination – Sarojini Nagar

We planned that this day was a shopping day because I promise to help Clay to buy 1kg jewelry for his sister and girlfriend. So, we leave Karol house, which is far away from the city, at 11am. From yesterday experience, we spent 3 hours to go to the central city. Therefore, we decided to use another way to go to central city. By looking at the map, we found that train might be a good idea.

First, we had to go to train station. How can we go to train station? The area we lived, Gurgoan, is an area restrict AUTOrishaw enter. From the map the train station is pretty near, therefore we took the bicycle “AUTO”, which I only saw in Delhi. It is a small and slow transport. You can’t imagine two HUGE Australian guys and me sit in the super small three wheelers bicycle for one hour to the train station.

feel pity to the driver.. so heavy

We though finally we arrived train station. However, we could not communication with the ticket counter because they can’t speak English. Luckily, we were assisted by one of the stuff there. He told us the express train which would go to Delhi was coming soon. However, when the train arrived we can’t even go into the train because there are too many people. So we decided to wait for another train.

But suddenly we realized we might have to wait one more hour! Oh god! Anyway, we didn’t have another choice just enjoyed it. The next train finally came after one hour. We were sure this was not an express train because it was very slow and the idiot driver kept horning all the way!! It was loud!! I think we stuck in the train about 2 hours. However, when we got to the last stop, it was not the stop we want to go.

After that, we took the auto to New Delhi. It was just half of our journey but we spent about 5 hours! At the end, I could not remember how we get to the market.

After this experience, conclusion is Delhi is really BIG!

Anyway, sarojini nagar is a local market which you can buy the cheap Indian stuff. This is the best place for shopping in India. After the good shopping, I forget about the painful train experience.
