16 Day in India

[ 在印度的第十六天 ]

Finally buck up and get into the mood of work today, started the WAR!

Hm.. You may think that I have been over reacted. But I can tell you, no I am not! If you ever know what happened before.. Anyway, whatever passed is past.

The point is now, right? As long as I did my very best, do whatever have to be done, say whatever have to be said. Don't think they will do anything harm to me right?

Prayed for me to successfully pass this 5 months safe and sound.

Anyway, something happened then.

Went to look for MLD to get some information regarding his module, where the module I'm working on some how inter-related with his. Then, the big-snake overheard our conversation and joined in. Few minutes later, they started to talk Hindi. I was like, OMG do you ever know that I'm not an Indian I couldn't understand Hindi at all? Some more they speak very fast, I can't interrupt at all.

Argh... So I have to make use of my innocent eyes, and look at them blurly, hoping they will pity me and speak English! But, they didn't even look at me, and continue with their own language.

After some times, finally they realize of my existence. Quickly, I requested them to speak English so I can understand what they are discussing. They smiled, and use English, for few minutes... Then, I decided not to bother, just try to catch whatever they are saying.

OK, now they said MLD's module shouldn't handle for this request, where it should be handle by another module, and they call that guy in, the hamsap-eyes. Well, ofcourse, it's Hindi again.

Right about one and a half hour later, where it's about time to off work, they came out something as conclusion, and dismissed the meeting. Big-snake explained to me what happened just now. But, there is something I don't agreed.

My module has a function for user to retrieve information from what captured in MLD's module. MLD's module is the main, while mine is just the summary. So logically, don't you think when we wants to view the detailed information, we should link to MLD's page, rather than I have to come out my own page?

Big-snake said I should have my own page, the most I can extend my object from MLD's object. So whatever changes made in MLD's, will not affect ours. Bull shit! As common sense, as a logic person, don't you think this is just redundant and its just crap? It should be other way round right? Whatever changes made in MLD's, we should changed too, to maintain the consistency. Otherwise, don't you find its awkward this two page showing different details, while the it's actually the same thing?

Do not bother.... Must get big-snake to confirm with the bad-guy tomorrow. Hm! Not going to waste my time on this thing.. shit!

Notes:
MLD - as pronounced in Chinese, Mou Liu Dou (没料到)
Big-snake - as pronounced in Chinese, Dai Xie (大蛇)
hamsap-eye - this guy always use his hamsup eyes to look at people hamsuply.
bad-guy - not that he is bad, but his name contain the word "jay"

13 Day in India

[ 在印度的第十三天 ]

Finally I'm back to work today. Feel so lazy after two days off, like no mood to work at all.

Besides, I only worked for 1 day this week. Why?
Monday and Tuesday, I was in training.
Wednesday and Thursday, I was MC.
Hehe.. So this is really an easy-going week for me!

Anyway, starts from next week I have to really work hard. Must finish tasks assigned asap, can't let them look me down!

Gan-ba-teh!!

12 Day in India

[ 在印度的第十二天 ]

MC still today, nothing much to do still, watching movie again, till my eyes so tired and I took a walk to the balcony. Then I caught this..





See, I wasn't lie okay. It's really so hazy and dusty here.

I felt it's really amazing that they are able to live under such condition.
Hm.. Probably they just have no choice, but to accept the fact.
Have to learn to survive anyhow.

People, do cheerish what we are having now.

11 Day in India

[ 在印度的第十一天 ]

Was on MC, stayed at home the whole day. Doing nothing but sleep, and watch movies, then cook dinner for my fellow colleagues. Hehe.. Come to think of it, I never really cook for daddy, don't know what's his reaction to be if he know this?


(L) Fried ladies finger and red carrot with soy sauce.
(R) Stew dry mushroom, potatoes, and chicken.

This is the first time I ever cook this dishes. Luckily it's eatable..
*sweat..

Doctor visiting in India

[ 印度看病记]
Finally, I can't stand the suffering, and went to doctor yesterday. Shivam Hospital, located quite near to my office. It's a very small hospital, so different from M'sia's. The doctors here are very patience, they asked about your illness very patience, analyze it and explain to you.

The procedure s slightly different too. First, you will have to register yourself at the reception counter there, and pay RS200(RM20) for the doctor's consultancy fees. Next, wait for your turn to be called into the doctor's room. After examined, take the card with your illness descriptions and the medicine description to another counter to get your medicine. There, take your medicine and pay for the medicine.

Well, the medicine are rather cheap here. I was assigned 3 day's medincine. One for antibiotic, one for sorethroat, one for flu, and another one for cough. This all cost me only RS110(RM11).

Lastly, bring everything back home with you, including the examination card. So next time, make sure you bring along the examination card with you.

Dream about Mama

[ 梦见妈妈 ]

Can't really sleep well recently, ever since I'm here in India. Probably without his hug at night, or the sense of security been lost, or hm.. it's his smell that i lost?

And it's getting worse this two days, when I'm badly cough. Used to wake up in the middle of the night just to cough.

I thought it was due to the coolness of the room, I didn't on the heater. So, I purposely on the heater before I sleep yesterday. But still, I come awake. And, I even dream about mama. May be I miss her too much now.

It's been a very very long time since my last dream about mama. When I saw her yesterday, I was really happy. Mama never forget about me, she came to me. =)

Mama been so spoiled me all the while. When I was at secondary, we are the two who been left home all the time. Untill I came to KL to further my study only we apart.

Mama caught lots of illness during her young age. Diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure.. Almost everything.

Soon later after I grad, mama went to stay with my brother in Singapore. Well, the medical consultation there is much better compared to Malaysia, and they provide better services too. I personally believed it is a good idea for her to stay there, to get better cares.

Unfortunately, she didn't manage to get over it. She gone in April, 2005.

I had never dream about her since she gone, just heard from sister that they dream about her once a while. Then I was thinking, how come mama never come to me? Has she forgotten me? Has she ignored me? I was really upset about it though.

Anyway.. Mama I hope you are well wherever you are. Atleast, you are free of the illness now, don't have to go thru all the suffering stage now. If there is really reincarnation, I hope you already went into it, and starting a new life now. Wherever you are, whatever you are, I do hope you leads a better life.

Galeria Gurgaon, India

[ Galeria, 印度 ]

Yesterday we went to a market here, called Galeria. Need to buy some groceries actually, and need to do some money exchange, also my colleague need to get a local phone card. But when we reached there, the money exchanger been closed, the mobile service provider shop also been closed. Actually many shops been closed, luckily we still able to get some meats, hm, chicken to be precised.

Galeria is a small market here, still, there are many shops here though.


Things are really expensive here, especially those imported. A small size Marmite costs RS115(RM11). And, the other day I went to a small counter that sell cigarrates and snacks near by office. Guess what, a sweet cost RS1(RM0.10). But, the Lay's here are cheap, only RS20(RM2). Well, ofcourse I will buy it! Grab few packs into my basket, haha..



After the groceries, we walk around to spot for our dinner to be. But didn't see any attractive restaurant, so we just simply went into one, that seems like not bad. And, well, we got cheated.

Chefree, well actually from the name we should knew. Food here are those ready-packed, instant food. It's just like those we can find in supermarket that we just put into microwave and 'ding', it's ready to eat. Frankly, for such food, with such price, it's rather expensive.









After settled our dinner, we call the driver to check if he is here, and if he still remember us. =| Then he told us he is doing something elsewhere, will come and pick us after 45 minutes. So, no choice, we just walk around the place, again.

Then, we found this shop, a funny shop. It's sort like a combination of few stalls, one for pop-corn, one for sweet-corn, one for hot-dog, and the other one for the famous Gelato ice-cream.





45 minutes actually a very hard to spend time, seeing the weather and environment here. Plus, there isn't many shop opened that time. We have got nothing to do, end up we just wait for the driver at where he dropped us. It was a cooling night, the good thing is there wasn't wind blowing. Else I think my sickness will became worsen.. =(

First weekend in India

[ 在印度的第一个周末 ]

Saturday
, I had to work, had to attend a training in office, the IBM RSA. Hm.. One word to describe my feeling, BORE...

The class started from 1100, to 1700. It should teach us on the tool of IBM RSA. But they were talking about Eclipse the whole morning. (RSA build on Eclipse) Then, after 2 hours break, they started on the UML methodology.. Only about 2 hours before end of the day, they talk on the tool itself. Well, it is expected that the training on the tool itself was really rush. What do you expect? It should be more than 4 hours course, became just two hours..

And, I found something. They like to talk much, I mean the Indian. It's probably because they think to speak out is the way to express they know something? I really wonder. All I can think about is, do you really know what you are talking about?

p/s: While I'm boring studying in the class, my lovely housemates went for groceries shop!!! =(

~~ ** ~~

Sunday, there was nothing much on Sunday. Initially we planned to go out with the Thai colleagues for a walk in the mall. But, we were just too tired and lazy to get out. So, end up whole day sitting in the living watch movies, the movie we brought from KL. Non-stop, one episode follow another. Well, to be precise, my butt never leave the sofa, except for ladies, and lunch and dinner. =D

Let's get online together

[ 大家一起上网咯 ]

Finally, I managed to setup a wireless lan in our apartment 2 days ago.

The apartment we stayed was newly rent, so many facilities isn't ready yet. Already feedback to office, the wireless internet will be ready in about 2 to 3 weeks. So meanwhile,we have to think of something for this.

Long time ago, when I was in Thailand, my friend configured a wireless network for me. I saw him do it, so hopefully with that memory, I managed to configure a wireless network here too. Bless me..

And after two hours, ta-da... It's done! My laptop will be the host, connected to the Internet, and shared it out to the wireless network, where my colleague can just connect to the wireless network, and access to the internet through the connection.

Hehe.. So, we managed to get online together now~

My home in India

[ 印度的家 ]

This is my so-called home in India..


The very simple living room, with the new sofa.
Open the glass door, you will get to the balcony.
But we never open the door, they having some construction site down there, and the dust.. yacks..


The dining area.
A round table with four chair, just nice for us four ladies.


Our dinner of the day. Baked bean with chicken, and stir fried broccolis.


My room, a queen size bed and wardrobe.


Bathroom, hm.. Frankly the bathroom not very clean, just acceptable..

Sixth day in India

[ 在印度的第六天 ]

Time been flying very soon.. Today marked the Sixth day in India for me.

It has been a real suffering, however I managed to get over it. Those happy and unhappy, complaints, communication problems and etc.. need to adopt it in the end. Hm.. This is the only way to get rid of it, otherwise how am I going to live my days here?

The only thing is, I am sick, on the third day here. First, my throat wasn't feel well, like people going to get sick, on the determination stage, where it's either you gonna get flu, or sore throat. Then, caught flu the next day when I wake up in the morning. Next, was coughing the day after. =(

It's probably due to the environment problems, and the weather. The dust, the cold, plus the other day was waiting for the driver outside office. Stand there for about 20 minutes, having the cold air.. Gosh.. It's really cold you know, I was shivering then. But I think the most reason is because myself, too weak..

Suffer.. Felt really itchy on my throat, wanted to scratch it so badly. Sigh.. Do I dare to go for doctor? Frankly, if it's not a must, I definitely won't! But I am coughing, can I recovered without any medicine at all? Can anybody teach me how to?

First Day in India Part 2

[ 在印度的第一天之二 ]

Talking about my first day in India..

Wake up early morning 0530+, becoz of the time gap. Haven't adjust my watch to India's, it still showing M'sia time. My handphone was follow M'sia (uh, I though). Hm.. actually I didn't see carefuly, it was auto-updated to India's time. End up, the phone's alarm rang too early. Haha.. Blur me.. Anyway, can't sleep back so just move my butt from the bed.

Prepared the clothes and get into the bathroom. The shower head in the bathroom spoiled, the water flow isn't good, too small for shower. So I decided to use the other way, take a tong and a small pot, bath like small kid. Hm.. Reminded me of my kid time, where I stud on the floor and my mummy bath me..

Breakfast time.. what did I eat? Not much choice, just simple meal, bread + biscuit + coffee. The bread, taste bad.. Oh I miss the gardenia in M'sia..

0845, the driver came to fetch us to work. The old old jip like van, with the driver's terrific skills.. I'm so lucky that I managed to reach office safely.. =

And I really opened my eyes on my way to office. The dust is flying all the way. The cars also flying on the road. Wonder why they horn nonstop too, has that been a habit for them? Anyway, if you think the road-bully in M'sia are terrible, wait till you see these, they are the best!

I can also see lots of cows, and pigs running around the street, rather I should say, they are just enjoying their walk on the street, slow and steady. I was thinking then, what if our beloved malays cousins are here? Hm..

And, the other thing that I felt sad about, is their poorness. You can see lots of the poor, sleeping on the roadside, witha a tiny little clothes covered their upper part body. It's winter now, I can even feel the freezing when I'm outdoor, a jacket is a must. They.. can just sleep like that? Have they get used to it, or they just got no choice?

Anyway, we reached office at last. Got our seats arranged and busy on setting up the environment and installed some required software. We are only given the normal user account, where we are not suppose to install any software ourself. Everything have to go through a network person. We can't use FireFox here, so bye-bye to my firefox. The Yahoo! Messenger also a disaster, keep on disconnecting. I don't know, probably becoz of the setting. Got frustrated with it, then I'm now using the ym that bundled in Yahoo! Mail.

Then, it's lunch time! Full of expectation, of the food. They usually ordered delivery, so we also order delivery. With some colleagues (those who have been here, ate the food before) we ordered the most delicious among the list, a restaurant called Bangkok 9, it's a thai food restaurant. Thai fried rice with pineapples and cashew nuts, thai fried rice with fish sauce. My other colleagues said they are not bad, but to my personal opinion, it doesn't taste good, too oily, and taste doesn't alike those real thai. Anyway, it's India here, what do you expect?

At night, for dinner, my colleague K cooked us some simple dished. Stir fried vege + sardin that we brought from KL + fried egg. Frankly, it taste much better than the lunch.

After dinner, we chit-chat at the living room there. We talked about the company politics, the lousy apartment, the unexperiences servant.. Soon, it was time to bed, again.

So, there wrapped up my first day in India. =(

First Day in India

[ 在印度的第一天 ]

Today is my very first day in India. Full of surprises, bad one, not a good one.

Aren't familiar here, can't speak their language, can't recognize the road, everything just so stranger to me. Well, the good thing is I have a group of colleagues with me.

Dear my fellow colleagues, sorry to trouble you guys and girls to take care of me ya~

P/s: If you ever interested with my journey in the Incredible India, stay tuned for more updates. Will write more when things get better here.

First step on New Delhi, India

[ 踏在印度新德里的第一步 ]

Fiinally I have reached New Delhi, India. Time recorded 2100+.

The very first step on the land of India, made me sigh. "Hm.. Is this what it should be?" Many things are just so out of my expectation, though I've heard enough of it, and prepared myself with it. Why? Let's see..

Air polution. When we were in the plane, it's really dificult for us to view the ground, the air was like fille with dust..

Lousy airport with lousy management. I think my hometown's airport is much better than here. We have to queue for more than 1 hour, waiting to check-out. The staff also unfriendly, it's like a big piece of gold will fall out from their mouth!

Driver's skill are extremely horrofied. I really can't think of any word to describe it, horrorble. Every driver are the same, they only cares about their own, reckless and rough, keep horning others to get away. It's like "I am the king of the road, you better get out of my way"

The time we reached the apartment company rented for us already midnight. Was tired and exausted, with my body with dust, and some virus perhaps.

First thing to do, choosed the room, take out the stuff required for shower, rushed into the bathroom.

Phew.. Feel much better after the shower. Adjusted my alarm clock, covered the pillow with my old t-shirt, here we go, time to sleep. It's another hard day tomorrow, gotto work.

P/s: I really feel like crying.. =(
