Artist: Sigur Ros Track: Sven-g-englar It's Friday, and London is certainly lively! Here I am, once again, the same location as per my first day in London. I am trying to kill time by sipping onto a cup of Hot Chocolate @ Cafe Nero, while waiting to meet a friend, Paul, for dinner later at 8PM nearby Angel Tube Station. To be honest, I am really hungry now.. but I'll just wait for him so that I can make the most out of my dinner later; wouldn't want to spoil it! Oh, forgot to update about the yesterday. I was up quite early, and decide to pay a visit to Tate Modern. A good friend in Singapore told me that Damien Hirst is holding his exhibition there. Well, I am not a big fan of museums ... read more

*Track title: Introducing Palace Players Artist: Mew Well, hello London! First time here.. isn't really that bad afterall. Well, I refuse to sleep after 12 hours of flying from Singapore to London. I was booked on Etihad Airways when the check in counter staff in Singapore told me that my flight was overbooked! Instead, they transferred me to Singapore Airlines, which is great, my beloved national carrier.. and probably one of the best airlines in the world! Singapore Girl, you're definitely a great way to fly! (I'm gay but whatever). Plus point: A direct one way flight, without having the need to stopover. I reached Heathrow Airport at 5.59AM on 8th May 2012, and it was bloody freezing! I still love my tropical climate back in Singapore... but not during the haze period (urgh!). Heathrow Airport ... read more

The next day, I woke up, showered and packed up, heading towards Pandhey Ghat. It took me about 10 mins to get there and I was hoping for a bed there. One thing I like about staying in dorms is not only the cost issue, but you get to meet other travellers from other parts of the world. I was relieved that I managed to get a bed, and intended to stay for 4 nights in Vishnu Rest House. While waiting to fill up the 'C' form, I went to the balcony and lit up my cigarette. I was beginning to love the moment in Pandhey Ghat; simply picturesque, with the Ganges River seem to appear calm despite the daily drama - people doing their laundry, rituals, shower... you name it all. I decided to walk ... read more

We (Guailo, Anna & I) departed from Bundi Bus Station around 930pm on the 1st January 2011 to make our way down to New Delhi. Since trains and private buses aren't running due to the strikes, I suggested that the only way to get to Varanasi is via bus ride to New Delhi, and head down to New Delhi Railway Station and get a Tatkal ticket to Varanasi Junction Railway Station. Well, of course, they weren't really sure of the idea, but hey, it's cheap (since I was really broke lol) and it's the only way to get to New Delhi, given the situation then. We were not mentally prepared of the ride; trust me, government bus ride was the deadliest I've ever experienced! For more than 12 hours, it was such a bumpy ride, that ... read more

Woah! Another day of travelling. We (Rob and I) left Bombay for Udaipur on the 18th Dec 2010. There wasn't any direct trains to Udaipur City Railway Station; we have to take a seater train to Ahmedabad, and take a connecting train an hour later to Udaipur City Railway Station. Rob checked out earlier on that day, and he said that most likely he'll see me at Mumbai Central Station. I reach Mumbai Central half an hour earlier before our train departs. I saw Rob sitting somewhere near platform one, and since there's some spare time to kill, we went out for chai. We walked outside the train station, and went to a local chai stall for chai. Shortly, we realised that we are left with 10 minutes, quickly paid for our chais and rush back ... read more
