22/4/09

We were rushing to the airport caught amidst the traffic jam. Our flight was scheduled at 9:30 P.M. We reached the airport around 6:30, got our baggages checked ( with our hand luggages being opened becuz it simply had batteries in it.), got our passes ( and i requesting for a window seat ), put in all our heavy baggages. My dad had to get some books delivered at the airport and this man just did’nt come!! We were waiting and waiting..the first call for immigration came up, then the second one and then the final one.. and finally he did come…thank goodness. We proceeded for immigration and then security checks and it was around half-an hour of waiting ( and you know waiting at the Chennai Airport is not an easy job!) I decided to buy some sandwiches. It was all packed good and nice. But when i opened it, Yuck!! it was so cold and it was full of pepper and had only tomatoes in it, and i paid 150 bucks for that good for nothing thing !! phew…

Boarding call…we boarded.. and..yea The air hostesses going “Ayobawan” “Ayobawan” like a programmed robot. I pity them for their job to smile at they most stupidest times ever!! Fine! and we got our seats and I got a window one!

I couldn’t get a good view of the runway . I gleamed across the window and saw something huge and that was it !. It was a minute after that when I realized it was one of the wing of the aircraft!. It was a huge aircraft  seating 450 people and it was fully filled!. Many people were first time travellers i guess. I say this because as soon as they were boarded they took on thier cameras and handycams and began shooting that good for nothing srilankan flight. The flight was filled with Flash lights. Just when a kind Air- hostess came in and said ” not possible sir !” ” please, it’s not possible”. When she just said this and moved to the next cabin the story started all again. * sigh*

The Wing of the Aircraft

” In Preparation for take off..” came he announcement and yeas a lot of  announcements to go and finally the take off. I love the part before the takeoff when the flight goes like mad horse……….vroomm.. nd off we went! Chennai shined in the twilight! wow!! i could see all of Chennai sparkling sprkling !! twinkle! twinkle !! wow!! After the usual snacks ( Which tasted Yuck! with some thing made of aloo which i just didn’t touch. I was happy to see a cheese cake there

We landed at Katunayake International Airport after the 1 hour flight. Srilanka, contrary to  my pre- conceived notions was huge and the airport was much much better than Chennai’s  and not a speck- symptom of the civil strife going on between the Military and the LTTE was shown. We headed for the Night stop counter and got our immigration forms and then proceeded for immigration with that really sulky officer behind the desk.

The personal Entertainment systems!! lol !

We were to Stay at some Good Wood Hotel that 9 hrs. The hotel wasn’t good. But unlike the airport we can at least stretch out ! We had some sandwiches and orange juice for dinner and I was just too excited about Singapore that I didn’t sleep and there was not time either. At 4:30 we were all ready at the hotels reception. And there was a very comfy bus to take us to the airport. ( i recall my mom’s comment that this bus is better than the plane !)

And  after all the formalities at the airport, we were waiting at our departure gate and the flight was an hour delayed.  Waiting there for 2 hours was dreadful!. But for the betterment, there was free internet access in the waiting hall.

There came the boarding call and 30 mins from  then we were flying 39,000 feet high. A nice breakfast ( there was a rotti which was said to be srilankan food  which was something between Idli and Dosa ) I was watching confessions of a Shopaholic!! and that 4 hour flight seemed like for ever! I slept for sometime I guess…and a few mins later we landed at Changi Intl Airport!And Changi was Awesomee… The airport seemed like a paradise. oh GAWD! how can something  like this exist on earth ?. With wonderfully carpeted floors and full of tiny eyed Chinese were such a cute site ..after all formalities being completed we stepped out to hire a taxi!

Will post soon about Adventure in Singapore

Before the exams could get over I can just remember myself to find myself finding so much interesting topics and having no time to write. It was then I thought that once My exams are over I would write a post every single day.

IT IS NOT SO!!

I tried posting a lot of times. I tried my best!. I couldn’t. I wrote about some titles. May be a line  or so. They are still in the draft folder. Every time I try to write some thing takes me away.

For Instance, On Tuesday I wanted to write about a funny visa interview I’ve had.  I just sat down to write and that was when dad bought in tickets for 8 X 10. Who could miss that?!?

And so, we are also going out for a vacation and I need to PACK for that!

So finally I discovered that there exists a lot of forces to prevent me from blogging. So finally, I End this story.

And after i come back from my vacation  ( May be in the first week of May). I will post with all the adventures I’ve had!

So till then.

Bye!!!!

Yes! I am happy! Happy at last. WOW….exams are over…Can you b’lieve it? BOARD EXAMS are over! nd yes! i don’t have the feeling of having written the Board Exams at all! May be becuz, all our teachers went saying ” BOARD EXAM”, “BOARD EXAM” but it was the easiest one of all the Exams I had written!. And our examination center i.e xxx School really sucks! gawwdd……….

I’ve written my exams quite well ( i’ve done MATH well!!)

I am hoping for an above 85%

* not to mention the english paper which even a class 2 child can ace.

hmm… I was waiting for my holidays for almost a month and when these vacations are here I am already bored!. But dad has vacation plans also. He wants to take us to Thailand and i go..”uuuuuuhhhh!! noooo!! let’s stay home or atleast go some where within India . And then he goes ” who is taking you? ” and i wear a sulky look and can see his cat-like grin !!!. May be yes! I may go. But i just feel toooo tired for anything as it is now. I don’t want to write, I don’t want to watch T.V and i don’t want to sleep either ( funny! I know). It will take me a week to get back I guess.

I went to MY SCHOOL today. I say “MY” School because for the past 2 weeks i’ve been to many schools and I am just forgetting the Aroma of my own school. I’m Changing over my school next year. MY parents want me to go to A State board school. And i am just hating it!! But it is of no use. My mom has already got my admission to St.Johns, Mandaveli (a sister concern of my own school). I’ve been there once. It is just the same building like my own school, same ol’ benches. And once your inside there is no difference what so ever between my school and this school. Well…that’s a thing to be happy about!

Now,

I can just feel my head aching,                                                                                         I can hear my dad chiming on the phone to some travel Agency. And I better get off the laptop because my mom is staring at me ( I’ve been on the laptop for almost 2 hours

I will post soon,

Yes! examinations have kept me away . Now read this poem of mine..

I hate inactive blogs

Alas! I have no choice

Examinations pull me away

I have a will but there is no way!

 

Sometimes I visit and travel to places

Where adventures are as lovely as laces

But I have no time to write

Amidst this examination-study plight!

 

I know these memories will be lost for ever

And this list keeps growing like a tower;

But I am forced to study,

“You must aim high” says daddy.

 

But, Friends I will be back

And at writing will develop a knack

But to wait till the boards is a thing of worry;

All I Have to say is SORRY!!

The Content is indeed true. I will be away till the 30th of March ( that is when my exams end) and I promise to write my next post the very day!!

So see ya then

Toodles.
