Royal Wedding

How can i not post about THE Wedding. Me being a sucker for weddings tried my best to keep up with the wedding news. Unlike other people i couldn't watch the wedding. So i was occasionally checking the websites to see the pictures. The unconditional love shown by commoners to the Royal family is unbelievable. I wonder if our own Agong and Permaisuri receive such love from people. Kate looked ravishing and she made quite stunning bride and William sans his receding hair line looked handsome. He appears to be very sweet guy. The gaga over the wedding shows that despite the modernization, everyone is yearning for that Happily-Ever-After life. So, i'll retire with that. Time to dream of a fairy tale wedding ..Awww

Chennai Trip Part 2

The next day brought us to Mahabalipuram @ Mamallapuram. I remember seeing this place in the movie "kalloori" and secretly adding it to my 'must-visit' list. That's a historical site and if i am not mistaken it hosts a lot Historical stories and monuments. We were climbing everywhere and clicking away everything that we saw.Mahabalipuram took a long time and there were so many tourists clicking away just like us. And we also visited the "Rathas".

On the way back we dropped by a crocodile sanctuary. There is nothing special about the place and we were there just to kill some time. At night. before dinner my brother wanted to bring us to the famous Central Railway Station. I can't believe it's situated in front of the "Koovam River". Such a sore to the sight. The auto stopped near the "Koovam River" and i almost puked. The stench was so strong but nobody was bothered and they were walking without slightest uneasiness. May be they are so used it that it didn't bother them. The Tamilnadu government surely need to do something to educate people about the importance of keeping their environment clean. The railway station was so crowded and i don't think i had seen such a mob before. The hustle and bustle of the station was quite interesting.

The next day, we just wanted to unwind. So we chose to go to the "Vandaloor Zoo" and it was such a terrible mistake. There was nothing special and personally i feel our Zoo is much more 'happening". We saw very few animals but we saw so many couples dating there ! What a place to go for date!  Then, we  i decided to go shopping. Shopping was first class! We walked along the Renganathan Street and it was such a bargain. I brought  2 bodyguards (dad and bro) who were holding our shopping bags and guarding us against the mob :)
The next 2 days i was busy shopping and checking my shopping list. And the last day i was busy  packing thrusting in everything that i bought. Thank God for the extra bags that we brought along, we managed to bring everything back to Malaysia. When we landed in Malaysia, dad looked super excited and i was so glad that i did not miss out anything in  my shopping list :)

Chennai Trip part 1

This post is a very delayed post. I have been waiting to write this post eversince I came back from Chennai. But thanks to my immense laziness, I could not do so. At least finally I have found the time to write. Better late than never right?

 Well, visiting India has always been the first among my plans. And thanks to AirAsia it came true last December. After much persuasion, I managed to convince my dad, brother and sister to follow ( my mum is a hard one to convince). It was a six-days trip.  Before leaving I made an extensive research on internet and managed to book the accommodation and  prepared the itenary of our trip.

We took an early morning flight and guess who we met at the airport? It was none other than Dr. Burn the rapper. Apparently he was going to Chennai too and we were in the same flight. Dad was super excited boarding the flight as it was his first time on flight. However, the journey is not worth writing about as whoever travelled in AirAsia would know how ‘comfortable’ the journey is. It was early morning when the flight touched down Chennai.

The moment we collected our luggage and came out of the airport we bumped into Dharmendra and Esha Deol. It happened so fast that i couldn't click them. On a different note, i was definitely shocked at the sight outside of the airport as cab drivers were yelling and calling for passengers. It reminded me of our 'pasar malam'. We managed to get a cab and mind you that was my first time in an Ambassador and it felt cool. My Chennai trip taught me one two things about driving and the first and foremost lesson learned was the importance of horn. The moment the driver ignited the engine till he dropped us off, he didn't stop honking. He honked when he reversed, honk..turn left, honk..turn right, honk..went straight (!!??). And we were looking at each other in amazement and slight fear looking at the massively jammed roads. It's funny how they could understand each other perfectly and communicate through horns. One thing for sure, our Malaysians don't stand a chance. Our driver whom we hired on the next day said,
" Malaysian drivers don't drive like this right? We drive our cars as though they are bull carts. If our car get scratched or dented, we just stop , look at the car and shout at the person and drive away". 

After checking into the hotel, we freshened up and waited for the driver. The first thing we told the driver was "Bring us to a good restaurant @hotel ". The driver brought us to Saravana Bhavan near the famous Shanti Theater. I was dying to taste the Indian coffee and tea as few of my friends had already mentioned to me about them endlessly. I loved the food especially the Briyani though i could never finish the serving. But still the Cheese Naan and Kesari are the dishes that i could still feel in my mouth. Despite that, after 3 days we were craving for Char Kuew Tiow and other Malaysian dishes;) Malaysians are blessed don't we:p

 After a heavy breakfast we decided to go   around Chennai. What else could be a better beginning than a temple visit. We went to Kapaleeswarar Temple. There was something about the temple that gave me such a serene feeling and i made a mental note to visit that temple if i ever make a second visit. The 'tharisanam' was awesome and then we visited few other temples, the famous Marina beach (i wonder why the water was so black), Valluvar Kottam ( there was a National Handloom expo  going on ), Spencer Plaza and then we called it a day.          

 The next day was the Vellore-Kanchi Trip. Personally, i was looking forward for the trip as Kanchi Sari was too tempting to resist. We went to Sripuram Temple in Vellore and what do i say? What a temple and what a sight? Only few temples  give a sense of peace and divinity and this temple is certainly in. We were not allowed to take any pictures in the premise and thus i'm uploading a picture from net. It was sheer luck that we reached the temple during the "tharshana" time. So, we took the VIP ticket (money brings you closer to God!) and sat in front of the 'karpagraham'. After few seconds, the curtain was opened and there she was! Such a pretty Narayani! I remember the moment we laid our eyes on her, dad whispered "I think my India visit has completed and i don't mind going back now". That was how serene we felt. After having our lunch, we went to Kanchipuram and that was a long journey. Once we reach Kanchipuram, we visited Kanchi Kamakshi temple and then went shopping. I was a happy lady that day as my mission was completed. For the first time in my life i bought few Kanchipuram saris and can't wait to adorn them and show off to my girlfriends :) After such tiring day, we came back to the hotel, showered and went for 'Nandalala' in Shanti and came back saying "mama..mama..enga amma yenga..." :p
