CEO's away on long leave, dept boss appears only now and then. Majority of the people are away clearing their leave for long weekends. It all adds up to a quiet and shudderingly cold place.
Hehe decided to make it a blast of a last day by wearing the superstar...I mean, Lead Singer jacket to work. :D
And my colleague say I look very nice in it! Yeahhh....finally someone appreciates it. Heh, we decided to end the day with a late lunch and leave the office for the rest of the year. (Feels good to say that)
Headed over to a restaurant in little india for a bonus year end treat from our indian colleague. Finally got to see his 5 month old kid which we've been hearing for a long time.
Little bundle of cutenessThe food's pretty ok, since it wasn't really super traditional indian food type. But boy, tasting the food brought back memories of my stint in India with my unit back in 2005. It really makes me wonder how did I survive 1.5 months of extreme weather conditions, indian food and curry almost everyday man.
Definitely a memorable time man. The experience of sleeping out in the open field in the extreme cold of the night under the star-full sky, waking up to the chills of the morning with vapour coming out of your breaths. It was really a blast taking photos there too, with the gorgeous scenaries.
Well, I'll end this year end post with some snapshots of my time in India. Enjoy, and a happy new year. =)

Man...I've always wanted the feeling of running through fields of tall grasses and wheat.Guess this comes closest to it.
On a hilltop with 2 other indian soldiers
Climbing the hill ain't easy.But the view sure makes it worthwhile.
With temperatures rising above 40 degrees, nothing beats chilling outunder the shade with a bottle of cold 7UP
You've heard the phrase "Xian hua cha zai niu fen shang" (fresh flower on a cow dung)Now witness it :s
Another soothing sunset
Cows crossing. Drive slow.
Brothers in arms (literally) at the Observation Post
Standing at the take off/landing strip of a private jet without any earmuffs.Once a lifetime I guess.
Hitching a ride with 2 of the indian villagers
Sigh...I'd really like to experience the hilltop's view and windy chills once again
Heh, it's probably the last thing you'd expect us to wear in India.But yep, the winter season's really cold....you won't even break a sweat.
Here today, and gone tomorrow...
I was half expecting giant snakes to dart out of the holes and grab me in...
Tornado-like sand storms was a constant thing out in the field
Check out the size of that thing!
Man on a mission
Really some breath-taking scenaries over there
Ahhhh....enemy stampede invasion!!
Now that's a giant spotlight
Young street hawkers
"Can I have that watermelon over there on the bottom most row?"
One of their local cabs
Some local percussionists
A small town cinema I think
One of our end-exercise dinners.Can't remember what they're roasting though..
Hello there, you narssistic indian bird
Some local typing services provider I think
Not something you'd find easily in India I suppose
Mission accomplished.Thank You, for Your protection and sustenance.
