我们只是活着，只是简单的生活着

Just a rickshaw


Just the sun


Just one glimpse


Just one moment


Just another destination


Just simple, Just life

Back to the Past

Ramoji Film City, a place that most of us felt it is not worth it to visit
However I think I did enjoyed it, because you guys are there

Henna

We went to Shilparamam Market today and did some shopping. Then we saw around 6 - 7 ladies sitting on the benches doing henna. Woooo~ I never tried doing henna before! Suddenly remembered that I did something similar to henna in Indonesia~ They use a stick to draw though... Anyway, let's see some pics


Nice, right?


Okay... I forgot which one is who's hand already. Cause even the guys tried Henna XD


Yeap, see the proof XD Jothan here.


Then, our famous Pitt, happilly enjoying this moment~ :D


Steve and Albert too, but I have only Steve's pics here~


Here's mine~ My hand never look so pretty before. ;P

I choose the Arabic design rather than India design
Perhaps next time should try to do both hands in India design, if I have the chance :D

Rupees

Let's talk about money in India.
Oh, it's not about I ran out of cash and ended up eating Mc Aloo Tikki nearly everyday this week :P

India Rupees are quite funny sometimes

I wonder why do Indians like to write numbers on their notes?
Don't they have better place to write on? -__-lll



You can find almost 70% - 80% of the notes are written with numbers on the similar blank spot.
Nope, there is no instruction of "Please fill in the blank" on the notes XP


And look what I discovered today

In the whole stack of 500 Rupees, there is one which is in different color
O______o???

I'm still wondering if that is a fake note or not... The color difference is so obvious!
.... but these are all from the ATM machine neh~ @__@
No wonder even the local people complain that they are confused with their own country's notes


Ok, let's move on~

Here is how a command 10 Rupees looks like


And this is the older version of 10 Rupees, if I'm not mistaken
I think it's very antique looking, so I was thinking of keeping it
But when I look closely....


What the....!!!! "Happy New Year"?! =____=

I do not have other example of notes, cause I almost finish all the small notes
So, let's see how's the coins looks like

They have 2 versions for 5 Rupees. They look normal. Yeap~


Eh? Suddenly you see a "victory" sign appear~ Yes, this is how India's 2 Rupees looks like.
I dunno... but compare to their other version on the left, the one on the right just looks so fake (can't find other word to describe)... Funny looking 2 Rupees indeed

Wait! There's more~

This is how their 1 Rupee looks like in 2 versions. The bottom version... "thumbs up"
This is just....... just too much XD

One of my group mate, Steve is actually thinking of collecting all the "thumbs up" coins and give them to his friends as souvenir. Whenever you are indecisive, just flip the coin to decide. If "thumbs up" means you should do it~ XD
So what do I think of it?

India Rupees............... good arrrrrr~ yeah~ XD

遥远

最近时间走得特别慢
慢长的早晨，原以为已是下午
望了一望表，原来时间还停留在十一点钟

感觉，像是在一天里有着两天的光阴
开着窗户
开着电视
打开颜色盘，开始没有思考的在纸上涂抹
风扇停了
电视关了
没电了...在这里的星期天都会经历没电的时光
时间过得更慢了

在印度的一切，似乎很遥远
在大马的家乡，更似遥远

这才察觉，原来这是个离开家很远很远的土地

The Clothing Issues

When we were at the airport, I noticed

All the guy's luggage are bigger than mine
Mine is kinda like the smallest of them all

Oh... I thought I'm a girl, who should be the one who brought a lot of stuff here
Apparently not

There are only 9 upper part clothes which pajamas are not included
2 Long Jeans
1 Short pants
1 Knee length skirt
1 Jacket


Damn it! I should have brought more!!!

-__- I packed my bag as the usual way I pack for traveling with my family
Which is "as less as possible" (coz we traveled the way sort of like backpackers)
Now I know, i should not cut down that much

Every Monday to Friday, I can only have 1 pants to swap -__-
Monday, Pants A
Tuesday, Pants B
Wednesday, Pants A... again!
Thursday, Pants B and so on...
Argghhhhh~

Then the "go out makan" short pants.... There's only ONE?!?!
Noooooooo~~~~ Why am I that stupid?!?!
If I go out makan at night everyday, it'll be the same damn pants!

Oh, how about the skirt?
No
One should not think of bringing any short skirt around the Monsoon Season in India
It's WINDY!
Like.... EVERYDAY!



Although my skirt is knee length
It still "flew" and "dance" in the air
When I first tried to wear it, I regret and went up to changed it before I leave my apartment
Guess I'm not giving up
Cause I have so little pants here and now I can't even wear my only skirt?!?!

So, I wore it yesterday, the 2nd attempt
and I regret again!
However I have no time to change it back to pants this time...
#@%$%$#@
Die then die lar~ Just pakai sahaja~ I'll just hold my skirt

Guess I'll wear it to office then, at least it's not windy inside

No wonder the Indian ladies are wearing long Saree or Salwar Kameez here
The Salwar Kameez looks like this



It is quite popular among the Indian ladies, can pair it with a very long and fit legging


Or with the loose trousers (the salwar)

I checked it on the wiki
This Salwar Kameez is actully originates from Muslim invaders from Turkey and Afghanistan
Now it's popular among the Indian ladies

That's it for now

Oh ya~ The number 42.5 made my day yesterday XD
Haven't seen this number for years~ Even if it's not accurate I am still going to believe it :D

Life around here

Things which I saw
place where I get trained
the building where I stay
the people I see everyday







We are moving forward day by day

Charminar in Hyderabad

So, how did I spend my 1st weekend in Hyderabad?

Of course we went out to visit one of the significant landmark of Hyderabad, Charminar



I wasn't too sure about it's history, as I wasn't listening to the security guard who volunteer to be our guide. It's too noisy up there.







The interior



The busy street underneath





The full view of Charminar





So, what's the usual transport we take to move around this area?



Of course we don't ride a motorbike, people here who drives are really brave
Cause the traffic is chaotic



This is what we took to go around town. At first we called it Tut-tuts.
We then asked the local, it's actually called Auto, sounded more like "ato"



Very cute yellow "Auto", it can actually fit 8 of us in
Well, of course some of us will be the "bumbung" XD



In order to feel more comfortable, we usually take 2 "Auto"s



And I saw camel! Feels so Arabic



Khairul talking to the kids on the train.
We are all exhausted, he's the only one who still able to talk to them.



That's it for today, will update more next time.
