China-Tibet-Nepal Trip Senk Chung's Style
Part One - The Beginning

As the title suggests this may be long overdue but I still wanna the very least post some pictures bout it.. Hehe..

First and foremost, to my fellow backpackers : Eric, Chin Eu, Johnathan, Tze Huei, Elaine and Xin Ci, thanks for making this trip a memorable one.. I will never forget esp Eric's quest for food , Chin Eu's Canon in D, John's oversized backpack, Tze Huei's hand signs, Elaine's birthday in Tibet and Xin Ci's cowboy hat.. U guys ( and gals ) are the best!! LOL!!!
Last but not least, forgive me if u find ur pics in this post.. ( evil grin!!!! )

We had planned this trip for ages, since early of the yr to be exact ( well actually I just tagged along.. hehehe ) and come Sat 25 Aug 2007, the big day finally arrived..

Armed with only our backpacks, we embarked on our 1-mth long trip.. As I had mentioned in my previous post, first was the train to Chennai.. We left for Mangalore at about 11 am and reached at 12 sth..

Mangalore Train Station

This was the first time I was on an Indian train so I didnt know wat to expect.. I thought it wasnt so bad...

Posing with the ticket..

There isnt much to do in the train so naturally I slept most of the time..

Yes.. A picture of me sleeping... Lol.. ( The evil Elaine took it at 1 am.. )..

Never mind.. Ada ubi ada batas, ada hari aku yg balas..

The train journey took about 16 hrs ( from 130 pm to 530 the next morning ).. I was surprised that it was already so bright by the time it was 550 am..

Hello Chennai!!

As we were a lil tired, we decided to go the airport immediately.. We had some problems with the directions at first but we managed to find our way to the subway to another train station which will take us to Chennai Airport ..

The subway.. It looked so creepy down there I dint dare to take any pics.. LOL..

Our station was Minambakkam... I think..

The signboard listing all the train stops..

By the time we got to the airport it was already 9 sth am.. More than enuf time b4 our flight to Singapore..

We ate breakfast in a restaurant at the airport... We were exhausted at that time and the real journey hasnt even started!!

John falling asleep during breakfast..

I guess the train journey must have been hell for him.. Hahahaha...
Anyways, we went to check in and marched to the dparture hall straight away after the meal...

See, I told u I will get back at u!! hahahaha.. We boarded our plane soon after that and we were greeted by the AirIndia staff

Byebye India, Peace!!!

Because of the time differential, we lost 2.5 hrs ( diff time zones ) and arrived at Changi Airport at around 8 pm..

Yet another Peace sign!! ( 2 times and counting )

We decided to go grab a bite in the city as our flight to Guangzhou was early the next day.. So we went to Raffles i think using the MRT.. The view there was superb especially with a row of skyscrapers encircling a lake..

No.. I am straight.. Seriously.. Lol..

After that, we went to back to the airport and tried to catch some shut-eye...

Sorry Eric!!

I couldnt really sleep so I walked around the terminal..

Ahh.. Begawan Solo.. Brought back good ol' memories...

The next morning, we boarded our flight to Guangzhou and we're on our way to China!! Finally!!!
