adventures on aug08

hi guys , this time i went to south india - kalara (vienna of indian) for my aug08 holiday.. around 18hrs of train from my manipal..
During journey we had lots of unexpected things happened to us.. things that u never want it to happend twice in yr life time man ..

1st- we started our journey at 1am at train station.... waited for almost 1 hour for the train to arrive.. but the stupid train only stop for not even 1 min... the worst thing is we are at the back of the train when it stop but our aircon(AC) sleeper coach is at infront.. so we hav to rush to infront .. some of us got hop up to the train but some of us not.. suddenly one of our member fall down, which is every near to the rim of the train... damn damn dangerous... at that situation all of us jump down from the train leaving our laguage behind and hold her up.. by the time we all safe the train start moving... go faster and faster... f**k our laguages is still in the train... OMG....... all of us panic ... our books and laptop are gone... but luckily the train master and police were still on duty... after the begging , the kind police man ask his buddy to help us to get our laguage down from the train at the next station .... because of this ,we hav to buy a non AC normal ticket hoping we can upgrade to a sleeper AC coach for the next train for us to continue our jouney...tired tired...hop up to the train and by waiting for the train master get the sleeper coach for us we hav to stand infront of compartment outside the toilet for almost 6 hours.. damn damn tired and smelly....after a long night... atlast get our bed and all of us sleep like a pig man ....

At last we reached our destination which we supposed to reach 5 hours ago...hav fun....

we hired a luxury ferry for rps7000(RM 650)... inside there is 2 rooms, 1 kitchen, 1 deck and 1 dining... really ''luxury'' for us.... we play games ,cooking, talking crap ,drinking and etc......

2nd tragedy , we got a call from the travel agent said that our domestic flight were cancelled which my friends hav to reach bangalore(international airport) tmr to go back malaysia... f*** man ....another shit.....

my friends has to buy another ticket to there fast... OMG.. luckily got the ticket from another airlines with more ex prices ... hate the stupid agent so so much,we plan to pay all our lost when we back to manipal...

after they go back , me and another member(cheekhang) continue our journey to chennai then Sri Lanka... but on half way of our journey ,right before one day we flying to srilanka from chennai, i received a called from my dad. my 92 year old grandma is getting very weak.. my dad ask me to come back to see her juz in case anythings happen... with no choices i hav to ask cheekhang to cancel our srilanka trip and go back to malaysia...

when i reached malaysia at 4am ,rushes to melacca and met up my family... rushes to hospital,knowing my grandma was hospitalized because of she falled down in the toilet... got sutured on her scalp... with her senile Alzheimer and memory-loss... without remembering wat happened to her fall and sutures on her head... keep trying to take the bandage off from her head... we hav to take turn to stay beside her 24-7.. i take care of her for 4 days and 3 night until she was getting better and stronger andd were discharged... i and my family tot she will be fine (because is the the 1st time she falled) so we went back to jb because my younger sis and bro hav to go to class the next day... my grandma still could stand up and wave to us when we leaving.... unfortunately,that was the last wave and smile from my grandma... she passed away the next day evening on 2/9/08... i was so shock when i heard that ... rushes up to melacca again... that was the 1st time i saw my dad cries too... sad day... (as now my grandma rest in peace)
