Indonesia & Malaysia ..

So, the next tidings follow;

Starting from the last weekend,
we, with the infineon PS guys planned to go on a trip to Kusu island. It is very close to Singapore, but please let me feel that it is Indonesia as I got the Indonesian mobile signal, instead of SingTel (Singapore's Airtel) :P. We took a ferry to St. Johns island which is in the way to Kusu. Ferry was good with all the smoke of the engine right on us, if we stand outside the AC room provided, which allowed me to recollect my PS1 days at Vybra Automet. (We had a hard time at PS1 working in the smoke of that forging company). Sometimes better to forget things.. so let me come out of this..... we are at St. John's Island which is THE place where there is nothing.. :) just an island and a sand beach. So we wer der for half n hr and then took the same ferry to Kusu. 'Kusu' is 'Turtle' in Chinese and 'Fart' in Tamil, dont ask me hu named it. These ppl here come up with interesting stories for each island. Hearing to such stories, I felt that they are just a waste of time.

So finally its an island of turtles. Many turtles around 50-60, all in a small lagoon (closed one). Sorry to all those who love turtles that I couldn't stay der for more than 2 minutes. It was reeking badly.. ....yyaacckkkk...I am sure no 1 calls it is an AROMA of KUSU(fart / turtle / fart / turtle / fart/ turtle / fart / turtle).... to contradict me, these ppl love it :(
Later we went to a Chinese temple at the highest peek of the island ... (50 M abv sea level). Similar to any Hindu temple, we need to wish something, they tie some bands ... and u r the BLESSED for ur Lucky Life !!..... I dint participate in that ritual, but my friends did. And we are back at Marina Bay of Singapore by 6 pm. Thats a trip to Indonesia........ yeyeyeyye :P

and then to malaysia...... with all the Insead - BITS seniors..... we went to Pulau Bin island. Cycled through forests of that island, it was AWESOME.... Had a customized Chinese veg food at the shore... that was great.... and then later back to Changi Village of Singapore. This time we went on a Motor Boat. worth going....Sorry to say that even here as I got the malaysian signal I marked it as Malay..... :)

Schei Schi Ni .....means Thank you in Chinese

Dont worry...soon I will be on a tour to Malaysia...!!
