holy cow!

i have to say i am verrrrrrrrrry impressed by the eeeiiiindian railway system! we've booked our tickets and overnight they have been couriered and received and now waiting for us. verrrrrrry efficient. verrrrrry impressivve.

and i am reading the above tittled book and its verrrrrrrrryyy funny.

and we went to the travel agent again the other day and saw two couples around our parents age..or maybe slightly younger booking a trip to india..so i guess we shouldnt get too nervous about it if they can do it!

..........................................................................

yesterday i poped by at a colig's cubicle to ask some silly question and i found her sobbing at her desk. she didnt want to tell me what's bothering her but i figured it was a cumulative of a few things and what happened that morning. we had a 'scolding' from the boss. the whole dept. we all were upset by it but i could see it wasnt easy for her as she struggled with the words. we are almost like buddies in the team so it was horrible.

i had cried at work before but not here. in my previous life. i think i might have cried twice. but each time i felt the tears welling up, i would rush to the toilet. the husband in his previous life had cried before at work. and its not easy to make that man cry. things can get extremely frustrating in our previous lives. we were not doing the same thing but the nature was almost similar.

anyway we got out of that...when i told him abt what happened...we agreed, that the moral of the story is..if you need to cry at work, its best to cry in the toilet (he did too)..

anyway, i take the nasty things that come with the work with a pinch of salt now...

haha!
my experience was more of an attack to the senses hahah
kay kay..to start off, my mom forced me to accompany her for a business trip to Bangalore. I think she either didn't wanna sleep alone or didn't wanna sleep with people she don't like. can't remember..nehmind. not important.

anyway, bangalore is kononnya india's silicon valley which resulted in me having some degree of expectation.
so basically i had to follow my mom's schedule, whenever she went for site visits, i was left to wander on my own.
which i did, on my 2nd day.
i decided to y'know go to a street market and get stuffs lah, i asked the concierge n they said it's round the corner. so i took a bus. nak experience the 'take a bus packed with indians' punya feeling.
and i was caught in a jam for hours. kat situ juga tak bergerak.
after i think abt 2 hours i decided to walk. dangerously.
the traffic ah aiyoooooh kadevalai!!!!
n along the way i saw men peeing right in front of me.
of cos i was scared shit of my life and decided that the hotel's maybe the best place to 'wander' round.
i can be such a wuss.

i mean i wasn't exactly living life rustically there then, but it's just a shock lah n i really shouldn't have wandered around alone.
but i'm alright albeit traumatised.
heehee
