To India: Never Say Goodbye

You greeted me with such anticipation
And painted my world with so many colours
You provided me with such romance from your history
Goodbye India... for now.
Here's a kiss for the end of this chapter.

Where will the next chapter bring us?

We flying the first class
Up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' the life
In the fast lane
And I wont change
By the Glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

Weekend Trip to Chandigarh

This lovely city is the first planned city in the whole of India and it reminded me of a very peaceful n leisure form of Singapore. The roads are wide n free of clutter, there were dustbins everywhere n trees n grass on all free spaces. This lovely girl here is Arshia, Ashima's sister, who is Cherie's age. haha

On the first official day, we went to the Rock Garden. This place is awesome, it has pretty fountains

n garden sculptures

ashimaaaaaaaaaaaaa

n structures made or broken plates n bowls... all part of the government's efforts to promote an environmentally friendly culture. Im impressed I must say...

Some of the sculptures were actually made from broken bangles too
The local TV stations like to come here to film their Punjabi movies n TV series



I must say this place stuck a chord in my heart. It is so different from all other parts of India. N the culture of the people here differs too, they are more conscious of their surroundings, n would rather pocket their rubbish to bring home to throw over littering. Or this might just be the great upbringing of my friends.


Aunty n I - extremely lovely woman who cooked Thai food for me n gave me a pearl necklace n a silver bangle.
Ashima n her daddy


Vogue moment - priceless
Family Perspective - Hilarious


The Famous Lake where people take strolls along n where Arshia picked up the Marijuana leave-lookalikes


The Open Hand Structure that symbolises "Open to give, open to receive".

Peace at heart

These people have showered with so much warmth and affection that I miss home even more.
There are places i'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends i still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life i've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When i think of love as something new
Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more
Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more
In my life i love you more
