Night Scene in Brindawan Garden

Our Mysore trip didn't end like this. We went to the most beautiful place in Mysore- Brindavan Garden.


At first we entered, it was just like a normal garden with a variety of fountains. Everybody was sitting on the grass or 'picnic-ing', and so we followed them. We picked our 'picnic spot' with Lays readied. Erm, not really a nice comfortable picnic for us though coz we have 'companies' - which is the infamous crows of India. They are not as 'tame' as Malaysian/Penang crow, coz the crows here will grab every of their opportunities to snatch our food. Luckily, we were not their target that moment.

At 7pm sharp, when the skies finally becoming darker, all lights suddenly turned on. And....Wow.... ... ... no words can describe this--------->





And trust me, it is much nicer on the spot. =]

Indian map...they kinda fond of their own map i guess. Because everywhere/every garden will have this Indian map...will show u all in our Ooty trip later^^

Here goes my favourite, the highest fountain there, which is in the middle of a lake, where we have to take a boat trip to go to the other section of this enourmous musical fountain garden. Very nice, very nice.....love it!
Of course, that day was crowded with people, Indians I meant. And you know, the Indian culture, they will push their way rudely even it meant pushing u down the water.
But I'm not scared of them. Because, there is always a pair of hands right behind me, holding and protecting me from falling. Come what may! Haha....

th3 p@l@c3

Tada...the most famous palace in Mysore...
After one whole afternoon spending time with the animals, now it's time for the P@l@c3.....

Unfortunately, everything in the palace have their highly historical value and therefore, we were forbidden to take photo..



So we can only take photos outside the palace. See... One of my favourite photos^^

And another specialty of this palace is the entrance fee.
HAHA...We were initially charged 200rupees per person to enter. (foreigner)
Locals--10rupees...(see how unfair is this?!)
Luckily I have showed my student ID here, then only we could escape this blood-sucking entrance fees. But wait...another roadblock. There is a guard standing at the exit. As for being 'different' from others here, we were stopped for 'security' check. The guard took our tickets and asked us to buy another foreigner tickets.
Haiz...I know what are you thinking now.
At last, after our long explaination again, which made us quite difficult due to communication problem, we made it..
A memory of mysore palace, hard to enter, not easy to exit either. Though it was a nice place to visit..

Palace...Zoo...Temple...
What's next??
=p

Our Mysore trip did not just end in Chamundi Hills. The day got better after we entered the zoo, where the entrance fee was just merely 10-20rupees(less than RM2), but the camera 'entrance fee' is much hingher.
Smart him hide our camera earlier and we entered without the camera ticket. Suddenly, a well-uniformed guard stopped us and asked us to stand aside. He said he wanted to check our bags.
"Shit.." We were so scared cuz our camera was hidden safely there. But Smart him again did not really open his bag for him, he took out some few things like plastic bags which is abundant in his bags for him to consficate(for your information, plastic bags are not allowed in India, esp in this zoo). Then the guard is satisfied and finally let us go..
HAHAHA...Phew.... So close.... If not we would have been caught for not paying the camera ticket. Then, there goes our trip in the zoo.

It is quite a big zoo to explore. What's so special of this zoo is there's the only white tiger and gorilla kept in the zoo in Asia. I hope this is true^^
But sadly, the one and only white tiger and gorilla is not so fond of showing off. When we saw them, both of them just lying flat on the ground.

"'Hey dear, can u see any white tiger there?'
'No le, maybe it's inside the cave.'
'There there there... Did u see? There's white white thing under the tree.'
'R u sure? But it's not moving..'
'U see clearly, Im sure it's the white tiger....'
Few minutes later watching the tiger....
'I think it's dead.'
'Cant be la my dear, if it's dead, it will be buried underground, not here.'
'But why is it not moving at all?'
'Cuz it's sleeping.'
'hmm....no, I don't think so. At least he is half dead, poor tiger....'"
Then there goes gorilla, which is almost the same case as the white tiger...
Spot the gorilla if u can.Haha



This is the red-buttock baboon. Dont know what it's actually called but it's quite interesting to look at them coz they are live like a family. We saw papa, mama n their kids playing around. The biggest one you can see in this photo is their papa.




Oops, my dear found his bro...Don't they just look so-alike?=D


















And...tada...that's the end of our zoo trip...we really really enjoyed walking around looking at animals..haha. Now I understand why Japanese couples love to date in the zoo...

Next Stop---Th3 Palac3

Cya!!

First Stop--Mysore

Reaching Mysore, the first place we visited was the Chamundi Hill, where Sri Chamundeswari temple sited at the summit. But it was not really a nice place to visit, coz unluckily we are the foreigners there, and locals see us 'differently'. What I meant to say is everything we do was double or triple charged.

Innocent us guided by one temple boy.
At first we thought such a kind person he was but wait a minute, there are 'prawns behind the rock'. He asked us to donate some for this temple by wrapping the money in the newspaper n gave it to him. The moment we turned away, he secretly kept it inside his own pocket. My dear saw it. Nevermind... But after he finished his guidance, he asked for more, saying for his guidance fees... I was angry but seeing his 'effort', we tolerated.

But this is not the end of it.

When we walked back to the place where we kept our shoes, the same temple boy kept our shoes in a 'special place', and guess what? We are charged 10x. 100rupees for keeping our shoes in that 'special case'. Stupid people...at first I protested. But no choice, due to our safety, we had to pay them. Or else we might end up 'kaki ayam'.

This is the famous biggest cow in the temple, called NANDI.

And then beside it, there are hundreds of steps of stairs to climb up to another temple. At first, both of us were very energetic. We climbed, and took photos, but the most funniest thing is, when we reached the top and saw the temple, we were both too fatigue to enter the temple even it's just a few steps away from us. We did not make it to the temple and went down. I bet you must be scolding us stupid rite??^.^

Oh and another thing, to add salt into our wound, both of us got sunburn on our face. See how hot the sunlight is until we can't even fake a smile. Haha...such a day, I will never forget. first time being so clumsy together...it will be in my album of our memories forever.

Yet, this bad beginning is not continuing either. Wonderful places and moments awaiting us ahead..coming up next!!HAHA

It's my dear's 22nd birthday!!!

Never forget my beloved's 22nd birthday on 8th of March...

Too bad this is the day when both of us had to say goodbye, the day when he said see me in skype again tomorrow, but....my dear, today is still your most important day which makes it my most important day too.
No matter where we have to celebrate birthdays, be it together or separately through skype, the most important thing is we have each other in our hearts. I'm in you, and you're in me. Right?
Having you in my life is one of the best things that happened on me and I'm glad that on this birthday, I am still able to wish you by calling you as 'my love'.

My dearest kaizhian,
tonight, I must confess...I love you. Never stop falling for u...You are the best thing in me.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DARLING

14days south indian trip together

It's been so long time we did not update our blog(paise paise><'')..which makes me don't know how to start right now..aiks
Anyway, I'm holiday-ing now, 2 weeks more from class reopen. So now it's time for me to tell you guys what we were up to for the last 2 weeks, which is also my most wonderful moment in my life=)
Day1 -
pick up from bangalore and heading to Mysore
I was waiting for him in Bangalore airport, it was only 8pm at that moment, and his flight hadn't departed yet. This time it is totally different from what we had experienced last time in our . Now, our situation totally swapped. It's me who is waiting in the arrival area now, feeling the way he felt all this while. And this makes me understand it was not an easy job. Waiting few hours in the airport, I had so many things in my mind. Thinking whether his flight is smooth, worrying if he had any motion sickness up there, afraid of him not getting his luggage back....so many things that made me could not sit or stand still. Time pass so so slow that I could count every minisecond in my watch. And now I know it's easier to be in the flight than waiting in the airport here, pity him who has to face this every now and then, I'm so sorry....

Until the time when his flight had arrived, the familiar (stupid stupid) face appeared in the midst of crowd(Indians mostly). He is here!! In India...and there goes the beginning of our journey (he says honeymoon dating):p

This is when both of us in Bangalore train, heading to mysore. Both of us took the 3rd upper deck, which is the highest. First time in a train together, a new kind of experience for both of us, which added more stories in our space of memories, and you can't imagine how excited we were.

14days living together..which answered one of my prayers. Travelling in another country where we have only each other to depend on, it is like a test of our relationship, to check whether we are able to do this, not alone or separately, but together. We were thrilled and readying to accept this challenge...
