this entry is dedicated to my tongba frenz...amlesh, pankoj, shrestha whom i met at a nepalese restaurant in chabahil...one late nite....at about 9pm...it was quite late in nepal as most of the shops would be closed by 9pm....i finished using the internet at the internet cafe...had to leave as the internet cafe was closing....so i left and went in search for food...haven had my dinner yet...if i go back to my room i would have nothing to eat...luckily there is still one restaurant which is opened but looks almost closing....it says momo restaurant on its signboard....i went in and asked if there was momo...i wanna haf momo...the nepalese gal told no more momo...only haf chow mian...disappointed...i walked out hoping to find momo at another place but think my chance was very slim...so in the end i decided to go back to the momo restaurant and asked for chow mian and a cup of tea....while waiting for my chow mian to be cooked...i was wondering wat the 3 guys in front of me were drinking...there are a lot of berry like pea size beads filling up the whole mug....the pea sized berry looked-a-like beads looked tasty....i thot can eat one....so i asked the restaurant owner what are they drinking but she could not reallie communicate in english....the guys who were drinking told me that is a kind of tibetan drink called tongba....hmmm....tibetan drink...i like....so i oso ordered one to try...my tongba came...and i boldly took a sip....took one sip...and realized it is alcohol....oops....ohhh....then i told i dun drink alcohol and would like to give up my drinks to the 3 guys who are enjoying the drink so much....the 3 guys were laughing....and actuallie the "beads" cannot be eaten one....hahahaha.....so i found out wat is tongba...and made 3 tongba frenz....introduced my tongba frenz to sean and sk when they returned to nepal too...the above foto was taken when we were about to leave nepal...having nepalese hot tea by the road side....it was very cold....but it was very memorable.....

baby monkeys

many baby monkeys were born at bukit timah hill recently...saw many of them...though young but already jumping from branches to branches...never afraid to fall...even if they fall...they do not cry...they were especially cute when they clinged on to their mothers' body... rajendra commented that singapore's monkeys are different from nepalese monkeys...and he reminded me of the monkeys of monkey temple in nepal...

 

Singapore's "Himalayas"

we went up to bukit timah hill on an early sat morning...the trekkers up singapore's himalayas includes sean, sean's father, lai yee and my new nepalese friend, rajendra...rajendra is my nepalese friend's nephew and he has arrived in singapore 4 days ago to study here...though we had spoke on the phone and exchanged sms...but i have not met him before until yesterday...i brought him up singapore's highest point which is nothing compared to the real himalayas...

met shuhui training at bukit timah hill too...with a huge backpack filled with bottles full of water...long time no see her and din know that she is working at obs too..she was training w obs for their tahan trip end of the year...met other obs friends of sean and mine too...small world indeed...hmmm....i should start carrying my backpack up bukit timah hill too...else i would suffer terribly when climbing up mount K end of the year....time to move my lazy bum...which has so much inertia... 

farewell for dear colleagues

it was the last day for both my best colleagues, madelyn and monica on 31 august 2006...madelyn had quit the job and monica had finished her 400 hrs attachment...victorine and i bought a cake for them to celebrate their leaving...on the cake it was written by our request, "Life is a Bitch, Enjoy!"...i am going to miss their presence so much...in fact already missing them...but we would meet up often outside office to celebrate...we must!!!meanwhile, life is a bitch, ENJOY!!!
