Goodbye India

Now sitting on the land of Malaysia, thinking back my life for the past one month, it was so memorable and fulfilling. The experience is so precious that I am sure I won’t gain it from anywhere else in the whole wide world. There are so many things I can complain about india, but now that I had been through it, and I survived it, there is no point for me to babble it anymore. Good or bad, it depends on individual’s perception. I quote, “A rich man is happy not because he owns more, it’s just he demands less”

One thing I must be glad that the terrorist attack didn’t happened in Bangalore. Sorry for the people in Mumbai, I did mourn for the tragedy. When we left Bangalore Airport, the security was very tight, they searched all the hand carry thoroughly, just hope that the tragedy won’t happen again.

Well, I should stop boasting about my wonderful experience in India. Just pay a visit whenever you can, I’m sure it will be an eye-opener for you all.




Last day of our attachment, posing outside of the medical college (the tree branches really kacao, can't pose exactly at the centre, ish.....)

This is the main building of our attached college, MS Ramaiah Medical College (it is undergoing a major reconstruction, you won't be seeing the same pictures 5 years later)

Oh, this is the infamous IMS, run by MARA and attached to MS Ramaiah Memorial Hospital (there are so many things we can bi*ch about, especially their students)

Posing outside the on-call room during our A&E posting at the memorial hospital ( i don't really understand why everyone in A&E need to wear scrubs, it's not OT anyway)

We took a picture with Dr. Abishek, the intern in A&E (he is very nice and friendly, ask swarna about it, muahahaha....)

A picture with Dr. Sudhi, a very nice and knowledgeable post-graduate in Pathology Lab ( at the beginning, we had bad impression on him, but after being his mentees for one week, i wish all my lecturers would be like him)

At the Paratha Fast Food Shop (forgot its name, but they also serve Smileys which james and swarna were craving for since childhood)

The worst drink i tasted in India, Masala Soft Drink ( dear indian chefs, can't you all leave masala alone?)

Can you see the cow strolling slowly at the middle of the road? Animal and human actually can live harmoniously in this universe.

On a rocky hill, very magnificent!

At Wonder La, the biggest theme park in India ( La la la, sounds so malaysians! It has a lot of nice water slides, more thrilling than sunway lagoon's. And all its dry rides are all about spinning and turning, only indians can take it well )

Swarna trying to pose at Orange Cafe ( that's the place we found out that we are not allowed to play cards, so embarrassing!)

At Bangalore's Botanical Garden

At the hall of the botanical garden

That's the end of Bangalore. On the last week, we took a day trip to Mysore, around 1 hour plus away from bangalore city.

The place where Tippu Sultan's body was found (why the people like to kacao the sultan's tomb? he needs to rest in peace)

3 significant attractions in Mysore aka Garden City aka Silk City aka Palace City:

1) Great temple

2) Great Church

3) Great Palace

The garden is just so-so, but it provides free musical fountain (oops, it's not free, foreigners need to pay 10 rupees to enter the park)

Oh ya, Mysore government really sayang all the Indians. All the entrance fee that we are paying is almost 10 times more than the indians, so unfair!

Before we left Bangalore, we played Cho-Dai-Di at the balcony, enjoying our last moment in Palm Meadows, the coziest place in bangalore ( and we always miss a kaki to play bridge, ish...)

Me and swarna are showing off our new shoes at Bangalore Airport (the airport is so nice till you won't believe that you are actually in a third world country)

That's the end of India trip, but our journey is not over yet. We took Tiger Airways so we landed in Singapore first before we head back to our homeland.

Grab a proper chinese meal in Cineleisure at Orchard Road (craving for it desperately..)

On the sky ride at Sentosa Island ( the luge ride is very fun, sadly my inertia is big enough to win the race, hehe!)


We also got the tickets to watch Song of the Sea, but before the show finished, the rain poured heavily on us, and the funny thing was, we insisted on staying. So in the end, we got our whole body wet. Then i don't know how james and swarna suddenly got the hype and wanna do a speedy and budget shopping at Vivo City. Feel like doing a reality show, haha!



Since everyone already dressed properly, and the night was still young, don't call it a day so soon, let's go to Clarke Quay!
At Clinic, a very special theme bar suitable for medical students like us (we sat on the wheelchairs the whole night, surprisingly quite comfortable. They serve some special drinks, like rum in IV drips and syringes, but sadly we can't afford it)

Can't believe that all of these had over in just a glimpse of eye. Thanks to James and Swarna, who made this trip so perfect and enjoyable. Hopefully we will have another trip like this again. All the best in your future!
