more pic-sy pics!

Hallo hallo! I'm super ultra tired but once again, it's the wkend and I just can't bear to spend my wkend sleeping it away. So here I am, trying to keep myself entertained by yet another photo-log!! Yippie!!!

Photos not in sequence of events. Silly uploading dunno why cannot just listen to my instrustions. Blardy helllll...

Above pic: END of my trip where it's the end of the flag lowering parade. Okay. Backgrounder first, this flag lowering ceremony is held every single evening at the border of Indian and Pakistan. Oh, forgot to mention, this was taken in Amritsar. 40degrees... phew... lucky evening not as bad. The soldiers from both sides have this really interesting display of pride where to much with their legs super straight-up high and slam it on the ground in precision. They give each other a glare before slamming their feet to change directions and all too. Quite cute actually.

This set of pics were taken just before the start of the ceremony. We were sitting in a stadium-like place with thousands of indians!! The mood's celebrative, everyone's cheering and really, there were cheers like those we shout in sec school games... like "long live india" loosely translated lah.

Hokay, this was taken right at the beginning of the trip where we were in the bus being taken into the city area just before walking to the famous Golden Temple. Went to this war memoral place too.
This is it! The famous Golden temple. It's right smack in the middle of a huge pond, which is right smack in the middle of a huger compound. As you can see from the top left pic, there's the temple, not very impressive by itself but the hugeass compound that's surrounding it, definately is.

Here's more pics of the Golden temple. There's also a pic of some guys paying their respects to the Guru. Yep, guy just sits in the little cage thingy and stare... then there's their communal meal area and how the meals are done. FARKING huge group of people sitting around a charcoal stove making naan and food. And the peeps just sit there with a plate while food is distributed. The pic with all the silverware actually shows the number of plates used. Oh... there's a total of 5 to 7 such racks and this pic prolly shows only 1/5 of the actual length. It's allllll freeeee...

Hokay... that was a short tour to Amritsar. Just got back from Brisbane and spent the sunny day in Dreamworld!!! Woohoo!! Which meant by the time i actually got to sleep, i was already awake for more than 24 hrs coz i went out right after touching down. Lost my voice when i got up to go for work coz I screamed too much during the rides. FUCKIN FUN LOR!!! Unfortunately, gotta wait for my friend to send me pics coz my digicam died on me. Bleah!

Alrighty, till then.. have a ggggrrreeaattt weekend!
