* I am back with my glasses....i left my glasses in class 12 and never wore them...but lately have been getting these real bad headaches.....so decided to get back to them....thats me sunday night after shower hair all ruffled writing this blog entry
Random facts as of july 8th , 2007



*I have gone thru a very very bad breakup in the last 2 weeks......this was a girl i love for the last 5 yrs and suddenly its all gone....no one dumped anyone..we jus fought so much that we could not talk anymore....yes yes she was the best thing which had happened to me in a long timeand loved her a lot....she was a fantastic talented beautiful girl....but it jus didnt work out....i wish her good luck from here(cos she has blocked me from everywhere else..hehe pathetic i know) only way she can be happy is if im not with her ...i realized it and its the best thing i can do....


*surviving a breakup is hard but not impossible......u feeel suicidal for a week ..next week comes acceptance and next week comes joy...its great to ahve excellent friends who support u all the way along....made it certainly easier for me to bounce back into life after 2 really bad bad weekends.......another thing is that its ok to be sad....after all i was with her a long time and i was after her for even longer time and one bang and she is gone..its sad.....if u try to suppress the sadness it manifests into anger and self abuse...so its better to feel sad for a week or so then get rid of it by pumping iron and jogging and eating....


*My prof's son, matthew passed away a week back...broke my heart ..i wanted him to survive after all he was only 20 mnths old....went to see him in icu gave him a winnie pooh stuffed toy and jus hoped i could give a part of my life so that he survives.......but alas if only the world was so fair....poor kid jus passed away...i jus hope he didnt go thru much pain and he is in a better place....

So I have been off for some time... 2 weeks to be specific..was goin through a hard time(break up and all) so wasnt in the mood to write anything.....well now im back alive and kicking and jus wanted to share this trip i took to cameroon highlands (malaysia) like 2 weeks back...


Cameroon Highlands is a tea plantation in malaysia started by some british guy called some Cameroon. Its located about 6000 feet above sea level ..kinda the same as darjeeling for us...and it takes about 10 hrs to reach there by bus from singapore.....so we had to go thru an overnight bus journey to reach there.....like a smart ass i ahd decided to wear shorts and when we reached there at 6 in the morning the temp was around 10 and I almost froze to death. The place was real good (hotel was amazing with its private apartments and amazing view from each. The tea plantations were great and the cool weather was a good change from the heat of singapore. It was after a long long time i really enjoyed being on a trip and it really cheered me up. I could not put all the pics on flickr so here are all of them.


This is me like a genius wearing shorts in cold cold weather. I do have calf muscles.
The tea gardens ....very lush and the air there smelt of tea
Hehe this looked so natural that i had to take a pic of it...some new couple taking pics of each other....very very natural
This is the tea factory i visited ....smelt great.....
