OKAY, Jaren is thinking very far now and too much....
/ 12:50 PM
The following comments would be my inner thoughts... no disrespect to any company.. =)
Air India -- It will be my first and last time sitting on this Airline. But one should really try the service and experience what is travel on Air India. Never have i sit an aircraft where I longed to be backed home asap.
But almost everyone ask me... Air India got smell???
NO! Air India why got smell? There's not a single smell at all. Not even in India itself. =)
Anyway,
Service- No.
They raise their voice. and even quarrel with a passenger@!! omg. To think i still sit their first class (upgrade- flight full) I can only sigh. And the cabin crewSsSss were sleeping when i went to the washroom!! omg.
Entertainment- Okay.
Seat- Average
Punctuality - NO!!!! (I took 4 flights with Air India... ALL flights are delayed! )
I waited inside sitting down the aircraft for 2 hrs!! I peep out from my window, saw Singapore Airlines... Our flight departs at 7am. SQ departs at 8am. Meaning we depart first of cos. But guess what??
eh... no need to guess also know. SQ departs on time 8.10am! Air India delay again... the captain began with the usual phrase ( heard 4 times, on all flights- *yawn*)
'' My apologies to all on board. Our flight is slightly delayed due to the immigration long queue/ airport authority/ technical problems..... Nonetheless, we hope you enjoy this journey with this wonderful airline. Thank you.'' After which, i experience no air-con, no lights, nothing at all for 30 mins... the electrical supply cut off later explained by the captain. No comments lo.
Look properly... what error can u spot in my boarding card??
My name!! they spell wrongly... this is the second time they spell my name wrongly!! CHAOS...
The in-flight Indian food... All food to me on board aircraft all very nice. haha. =) as long as Jaren gets to dine his food above clouds, to him, all kinds of food serve are nice!
Its only 1 hr delay from S'pore - New Delhi... not bad already.
Bye Singapore!! Looking out thru the aircraft window, I saw my workplace (SVC)...
I often look out from there, hoping to be the one sitting inside the aircraft.
And now i took this photo from inside the aircraft. =)
I waited here for 1.5 hr domestic flight... it is pretty normal if u sit Air India. It is their culture. =P
Look carefully.... the boarding pass (Domestic flight)
1) Did you notice they never write down the Boarding Time??
Because they say the flight is never on time... they do not know when would be the boarding time. So it is better not to write any time... haha. =) Its Air India. No comments.
2) Notice the number of stamp on the boarding pass?
We went thru 5 checks!!!
1st check- Army check (Bag & human)
2nd check- Airport check (bag)
3rd check- Airline check (bag)
4th check - Airport check (human& bag) pls note: batteries are to be kept separate from its devices. I threw away my torch light batteries on the spot. They are afraid it could lead to explosives.
5th check- Make sure your bags dun have explosives and batteries.
Their domestic airline... Indi-Go. I love to see different airline in other world... =)
But now i understand why people who go on business trip say: ''India?? '' they gave a sian look.
But still, is really a nice country. Rich. Colourful. Noisy? But its nice~!

India... a place where they 24 hours, 7 days, you can hear horns and noise!!!!!
As early as 4am, you cant sleep already... because of noise.
when crossing the road,
you got to watch out for many things.. simply anything that moves!
This is India... no need to wear helmets...
Be careful of the cars!!
then when about to cross,
this motor out of no where appear... zooming past you, careful!!
Okay, now we have to wait for this bull, cow to cross the road.
All cars stop for the animal to cross road. they are the kings.
Then wait... cannot cross the road yet!
There is duck and mother hen with her small hens crossing the road too...
okay... let cross the road. dun care. they will not bang you. just horn. horn and horn only.
And you know how they horn,
just simply touch a button, and horn sound off..
So when they drive, one hand will be touching the horn button...
ar... my ears are breaking!! deaf.
the way they sound their horns is like FOC
If you cant imagine, i snap a video of only 33 secs... go and listen to the sound. Incredible India.
imagine if you live like this for 8 days... your ears will undergo torture...
This is how they drive in india. CHAOS.
Camels dragging tons of heavy load... poor camels, and poor dogs also... they have to work...
Just like humans, we are lucky in Singapore. The dogs here are also very lucky. we take them as pets... but in INDIA, the dogs are meant to be work.... same species, different life. Humans and dogs alike.
Stupid Jaren encounter in INDIA.. ...
There's a saying: '' When in Rome, do what the romans do. ''
So i decide to do the same stuff just like what the locals all do in INDIA.
And that is Peeing along the road side. ya, xiao bian... They dun have public toilets. If u are urgent, JUST DO IT (Nike slogan huh)
And so i stand there, unzip my pants... and start to pee. yes! its finally done i told myself. There were locals there too peeing... So i thought i was doing the ''right'' thing.
And there i was.After doing my small business, i walked off when this old man approached me.
Old Man: '' Thank you. ''
Me: '' Oh. Welcome. '' (i walked away ) -- i find it strange when he say thanks when i finish peeing.
Old Man(pulling my shirt) :'' Money. Money. My land. '' (doing the money sign)
i was thinking in my mind... why must i give you $$ when i help you to fertilize your land with my pee.... hey... this is so wrong.
Me: '' No no no... no money.''
Old man(still pulling my shirt): '' This is my land! You pee on it. You need to give $$$ !!''
Me:'' okay okay.'' So i give him 10 Rupees = S$0.03...
This old man was not happy. he says too little... siao ar. This is not your land i know in the first place. give you 10 Rupees consider okay in your country liao lo. you earn for nothing.
The amount of water i consume in 1 hr....
Anyway, you have no idea how hot the weather is. I begin to appreciate Singapore climate.
Evening time, the weather cool down... is considered as cool already. 38.5 degree C. at 4pm.
At noon, it could reach as high up to 43 Degree C.
India.. wherever you go, they have beggars... and kids pestering you for $. The beggars are really very pitiful... they crawl and walk like a monkey. You know.. how monkey walks... 2 legs and 2 hands on the ground. the same.
They ''crawl'' rather fast to you... your heart melt. but u cant give.
If u give $, all will come towards you.
And you will break down for sure.
So india, is a place where you got to overcome your emotions.
Kids following us wherever we walk.... Guide (in blue) telling us to ignore them... dun give them your attention.
Poor kids all around. sleeping on the pavement is common sight.
Capricorn!! This is moi sign.... proud of it. hahaha. In the past, people have already and believe such things.... Brenda, this is ours sign huh... lol. A tiny dragon??
World largest Sun dial... very accurate in calculating timing.. impress with people in the past...

Give me an I-N-D-I-A
INDIA!! I have always longed to go this exotic place for the last 2 yrs. . . Finally here i am. Stepping onto INDIA land.
Some flash shots at Changi Airport
INDIA--> where shall i start?
Its really a place one should go.
Firstly, I want to declare that what i m gonna to say:
I have full respect for India. Its really a nice and great country with nice views. What i would say is just my view only. There's no right or wrong. When i reach India, i told myself:
''India!! This is the place! ''
i keep repeating to myself in my mind.
Selling newspapers in the hot sun. Tough living. 39 degree C. HOT!
Dearest friends, you should
Go and see how people are living
In their terrible conditions.
Beggars all over.
Down the streets.
Carrying their young children in their hand
Asking just for that little amount of $.
Anything, will make them happy.
If we can give,
Why not we give our love to these people.
Its a common sight.
They are really really so poor.
You got to see it with your own eyes before u believe.
People say you will come back with lots of emotions.
Its true. You will learn to appreciate your life in Singapore more.
Before that, i heard people say go India once is enough,
I did not believe.
But if u ask me now,
I would say
''India- Go once is ENOUGH.!! ''
The people. Everywhere you go, sure got people.
Even in ulu place, village, so many people!~
Everywhere bump into people.
I wish i dun see any humans for 1 minute also difficult.
The HEAT. its so hot. what's 33 degree C in Singapore as compare to 43 degree C in India. It was so hot till everyone in the tour group run for shelter.
But 1 thing i dun understand
Why are they all still wearing long sleeve shirt
When the weather is so hot.
Don't they feel hot?
I thought of wearing nothing man.
kids bathing along the road in New Delhi.
You cant go out without Sun spray!!! 1 bottle not enuf for me leh... hahah.
But India very big. They got snow also. I went to Kashmir. Sow Suan says its dangerous. Ya, it is given the huge presence of army there. Just like i was in Sri Lanka last time... so many army,soldiers. It was like a war zone area. Anytime WAR.
Temp: 7 Degree C. I was actually cold. But i am just acting not cold. haha.
The Himalayas Mountain Range!!! This is where Mt. Everest (highest peak in the world) in this family region. The mountains are so beautiful. its just like beneath our aircraft. so cool u know.
House boat. We stay on these boats for 2 nights. its freezing cold!!
The highlight will be 7 wonders of the world!!
Taj Mahal !!
