And....we made it to Forbes (sarcasm intended - read this article , good one!)
But the beer in the glasses hve to be finished really quickly or else it becomes nothing more than you ordinary chilled beer. See pics below. Jayson trying his hand at being a professional photographer with my Lumix LX3.
Was a good night to catch up with my friends as well as exchange souvenirs time! Here's my erm..face mask for them from Hanoi...
and here's a cutesy pocket mirror from Jayson as a farewell gift from our Japanese class which ended last semester. 
This snow beer place is a good place if you would like to try something different- after the heavy downpour, the weather had cooled down drastically and felt really good to sit in the outdoors with a glass of beer! We have yet to try other food as we were still full from dinner (and to minimise people crticising that I'm fat if I ordered more snacks). We had I think about 5 big bottles of Carlsberg and 2 fish. Bill came up to about RM120.
XOXO See y'all in Singapore!
Some stone carvings at the entrance of the museum
Hmm, a strange musical instrument
Cubbon Park was just next door, named after Sir Mark Cubbon, Bangalore's longest serving commissioner. I am so thankful that Bangalore's weather is cooling all year round - considering I went to 3 different parks today! I'm surprised that it is the hangout place for the young and old alike, couples, kids. Definitely very different culture than in Malaysia. I think we'll melt under the KL heat first!
A statue of Krhisnaraja Wodeyar, Maharaja of Mysore from the past in Cubbon Park.
I'm really curious as to why most historical buidlings are painted red, but like I said earlier, I found it almost impossible to understand my guide, therefore, could not be bothered. 
Peddlars, just outside Cubbon Park
A 3 wheeler taxi which I believe is called the auto.
The Parliament House - Vidhana Soudha, an architetural wonder!
Ok la, but to give them some credit, I did in fact see some nice looking plants and flowers.
Check out the floral clock at far end, which actually tells the time!
The Lalbagh lake, which kinda reminds me of Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi, but much smaller.
Monkey eating ice cream on a tree just by the lake.
The much talked about Bull Temple was one of my last few stops for the day- said to be built during the period of Kempegowda. Reading the guide book, one of the many stories regarding the origin of the big bull goes as follows: The surrounding area, known as Sunkenahalli had groundnut growing farmers. A bull started grazing on the crop, enraging a farmer who hit the bull with a club. The bull sat stunned and was suddenly transformed into a stone. The shock farmers then build a temple for the bull to atone what they had done but were shocked to see the bull frowing taller! The worried farmed then prayed to Lord Shiva who advised him to retrieve a trident buried few feet away from the bull and place it on the forehead of the stone statue to stop it from growing.
And another park outside the Bull Temple with a statue of Mahatma Gandhi.
Yup and that sums up my day tour of Bangalore! I'm exhausted and trying to get some good rest in the hotel. Gonna continue watching Drop Dead Diva series season 1(recommended by Virginia) and complete my final online exam for the fraud examination. DDD is pretty darn funny and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a good laugh.
Traffic starts to build. It took me more than an hour to get to work yesterday (the distance of maybe from Kl Sentral to Eastin hotel) in an unusual morning rain that flooded the Banerghatta road.
I can't tell if this is a pile or rubbish or a construction site.
I swear I saw cows just across the road from Accenture, situated in the IT hub, dubbed the Silicon Valley of Bangalore once during my last trip back in 2007.
So, yeah thats's all folks for tonight till the weekend. I have too much time on hand now - hence the 'serve no purpose' photos being posted! Perhaps I should really consider sightseeing around Bangalore this weekend since I have already been to Mysore 2 years back...otherwise, what will I be doing stuck in the room? Talking to Bert eh!!!
Georgy will turn 3-0 on Wednesday! Pictures have been posted into FB so I won't do a lot of posting here.
We celebrated his bert-day at Wei Keat's house on Saturday with a BBQ party and lots of alcochol..last yr he bragged about being THE INVINCIBLE one..but was down slumped on the sofa after 1 hr. This year he was spared the trauma!
This is the first day of my 2 weeks stint in Bangalore alone on job..and I saw a damn bloody good looking Indian on the flight enroute from KL-Bangalore -me on 22C and him on 23D fuiyoh..just across the aisle! Whoaaa!! I probably look a bit retarded by looking back over my shoulder the entire 3 1/2 hrs flight. He's no Sharukh Khan but ermm like Calene puts it...looking at him is as if time has stopped moving..whoaa!! Fair, well built, tall, speaks flawless English and most importantly not that hairy!
Been dreamily telling all my frens about him and these are all the responses I got from them:-
-never accidentally fall on him while going to toilet?
-drop a hanky in his way!
-just give him ur phone number directly and tell him 'Call me'
Anyway, attention away from Mr Drop Dead Gorgeous. Here's wishing G an early bert-day cause I'm too cheapskate to spend RM2.50 on one sms to him!!!!(Sorry had to divert the attention away from G's big 3-0!)
I've got two good friend's wedding coming up in the next few months. Seems like everyone has been busy, busy and I've immersed myself in wedding talk for the last couple of weeks. Many things have been finalised and we're just waiting for that hen's night out to Bangkok without the boys of course! Papa Ian seemed pleased at the thought that Mama Juliet would be gone for 3 whole days where he can actually spend quality time with the boys going ahem, get this...'FISHING'! How very interesting.
Today is Mama's XX birthday. Let's just assume she turns sweet 18 today!
A big fan of Nicholas Teo, I've always missed the opportunity to meet the man himself when he's down in KL. It's because I'm always travellliiinnnnnggg.... sigh..and considering I know someone who works with him. Sighhhhh!!!
And get ready for the concept car Citroen Metisse.
