    2nd week in Nepal


    been a hell of a rollercoaster ride in my 2nd week here. 1st four days we were at Lamatar, a really remote village at the hilly regions of Nepal.. We had to get used to the village life so we essentially had dhal bhaat every single damn meal and the portion was so small i feel like i could just die there. surviving skills surfaced of course. most ppl were so sick of it they just didnt finish their food so i tried to eat as much as i can, u know, an empty stomach will only make everything worse.. then i didnt go for the trekking, cos it was raining and muddy n all that crap n i just wasnt up for it. washed everything with rain water, and everywhere was just muddy up to the heel so to be honest i didnt like it too much. and of course, we slept with mice. in a fuckin stupid hut fit for cows. sigh, but anyway, the ‘experience’ wasnt that bad, it was just very very poor living conditions.

    on friday, which was ystd, we set out to Chitwan, the terai part of nepal, and we white water rafted down a grade 3 river. was very interesting and probably one of my best days here so far. then we had to take a 3 hour bus ride. and there wasnt any space to sit so we had to climb up the roof of the bus.. very painful for the ass but the view at the t0p was just BREATHTAKING! Very high up waterfalls, the rapid waters, all the mountains.. was quite worth the danger i would say. and we’re staying at this cottage hotel in the national park with good food, non-piss smelling toilets and good activities. like we went on a boat ride this morning to see crocs and to the elephant breeding centre.

    alright, have to get back for lunch now. till then, take care!

    many goodbyes


    oh man, this is it. flight to london leaves at 5pm. i've packed everything n i think i'm ready, physically..

    mentally, i'm not so sure.. i dont know how well i'll cope there, the food, the culture, the people, the language. and also the people and things i'm leaving behind. i know its just 5 weeks, but still, it's a freaking long time if u wanna think about it..

    my 42 inch tv, my wii, my bed, my fluffy pillows, my high speed broadband connection, my volleyball, my pots and pans, my everything.... this is goodbye ok? dont miss me too much..

    my friends - grace, fiona, yy, bernice, jolynn... gonna miss u girls to bits.

    my new found friends in netherlands whom i feel like i've know for years - floris, janneke, klaziena, karin (and the whole committee), sam, balqis, akshay (i'm spelling his name right here), victor, andres, young, amr, and the list goes on and on.. you people are huge part of my life!

    my volleyball mates - saidhbhe, christin, lydia, denise, deb, kat, marion, katrina, arianna, clair and yes of course alot more... miss playing vball with u all for almost the whole part of summer

    of course my family, thanks for letting me go..

    man, this sounds like an Oscar... or some kinda sad farewell.

    whatever it is.. thanks guys for helping me out one way or another.. it sucks to leave n i'm afraid to bits but i guess i'll just move forward for now.. i'll try to update as often as i can!

    see you again! jumpa lagi! zai jian! adios! ciao! tot ziens! au revoir! sayonara! slan! and of course, namaste!
