Venkatesh Prasad

Hi PPL
Goooood morning
I am very tired while I m writing this mail to u ppl….it is a PITA
I had a very eventful week end and mind it I mean it
On fri along with my colleagues I went for shopping they wanted to but cameras, clothes and gold and they finished in the night at around 11, by the time I reached room it was mid night watched Species II and then slept.
On sat we had planned to go to Sentosa. It is an island converted into a Resort and a entertainment spot all in one place……..it is a major tourist attraction in Singapore …if u visit Singapore u have to go to Sentosa. Other major attraction is the cable car ride. Unfortunately the operations were suspended as they were upgrading the facility, it would have been a great ride and sightL. It is around 30 minute ride from Little India. We had lunch in a Veg RestaurantL…..on reaching the place we first went to the Underwater World, this place has all kinds of fishes…..man I missed out eating a lot of them we were there for pretty long time……..shooting a lot of pictures and filming some shots too…it was great. It was underground, surrounded by water and we were moving through that enclosure…..like a secret tunnel in those bond movies. Very delighted to be there. After the underwater world oh wait I got a chain with a fish skeletal structure as the pendantJ …..in memory of the fishes I hadJ. So we moved on to Dolphin Lagoon, here they have three PINK coloured dolphins. These dolphins put a great show it was really beautiful……pink willy???the dolphins did a lot of tricks and gave a kiss to one of the audiences.
After that we went to the beach…….it was full of young ppl s s s girlzzzz too they were good. A lot of activity was going on the beach…..showing up the enthu and energy of Singapore. So from there we went to Musical Fountain, we had to wait for nearly one hour for the show to start, behind the presentation arena was a Merlion…..it was a real huge one. It was a great sight to watch. On to my right there was Carlsberg Sky Tower….it is a amusement ride they take about 20+ floors up and rotate it 360 deg so u can take a look a at Singapore from that height. While we were waiting for the show to start to start something good hapnd….guess wat?? Venkatesh Prasad along with his son and a local friend of his came and sat next to us. Wow he asked in Kannada “yennappa heg iddira”…..wonder how he cud fig out dat we were from Bangalore. Anyway he went on n on n on jab jab jab,,,,,,,it was fun.. we had photo session and der were a lot of ppl for dat too…..he handles his fame with ease and he speaks English wid a great accent!!thames lofar......grrrrrrr:-(

What we were waiting for finally started at 7 30 , the Musical Fountain Show with a Laser show. Wow a one hell of event, technology, simplicity and presentation at its best .40 min of pure entrainment. The crowd went ooh and ah!!I was spellbound, so was my camera damn thing went out off memory and battery…..512+16 mb of mem and 2 batt used to the full extent. They were using a thin a sheet of water sprayed into the air at high pressure as the screen for the laser show. It was awesome they showed fishes, dolphins jumping in and out of the water exactly as u wud have seen in tv and the face of a beautiful lady as u wud have seen on a plasma tv…….now can u imagine how technology was used here. After the show we bid fare well to our Indian hero and proceeded towards Mustafa for shopping and dinner. Again veg dinnerLit kinda upset my tummy i m kidding i felt like a pure veg guy trying to eat chicken remember the way maddy ate chicken in the movie RHTDM to impress the shrilling Diya Mirza…….and my collegues shopped and after that we returned bak to our respective rooms. I reached at mid night again.

Next day on Sunday the manager who is here on deputation for six months and myself took of to an island called Pulau Ubin. I left my place at 10 30 and met him and together went ahead to our destination. It took us one and a half hour for the journey. We had to take a ferry to the island man I was excited……;on a ferry cutting thru the oceans water towards our island. The island had a lot of things in store for us just waiting for our arrival. As soon as we reached we got ourselves bicycles…..yes we can ride our bikes all thru the island, the island is not touched by the urbanization dat u find in Singapore. We kept on cycling thru the island admiring the pure nature that was with us all the time. It was raining for some time and then it wud stop and den again it wud hapn. The only thing dat I did not like was on the shores ppl had just left all scrap and was floating all the placeL. We cycled for abt 3hrs totaly. I guess thru all kinds of places……………on raods, dirt tracks swamps n mangroves, up hill down hill….puffing n panting and zipping and zooming. We were very hungry and hit the hotel for food, we had prawns a Chinese foos and fried rice and BEER to wash it down, Carlsberg (from Denmark) and Tiger(locally brewed like KF bak home). We were full and desperately looking ahead for the beach . when we reached the beach I was shocked, not a soul in the waters, any how we had to do it so we hit the beach. Just the two of us in the water. The island has a few Chinese & Bhudist temples, a resort and a prawn farm. There is nothing much to c on the island only cycling thru the jungle hmmm not exactly. We finally reached bak to our starting point at 5 30 and returned our bikes and bak to main land. My battery went off totally at this point of time and wanted to reach my room desperately. On the way I got my dinner and chocolate milk. Reached my room and while watching Spiderman I have managed to type u guys my rollcall.puffing and pantingqwertfgbggn
