Then Chennai, Now Bangalore--finally settling down
First day at work for me..my 5th hour has just about begun!
Exactly a week ago I arrived at Chennai..After a marvellous session at the Indian beauty parlour, I picked up Triin from Egmore station and heard all about her amazing travel stories! She's one wicked chick, i tell you.
My family (entire extended family..as many as there could possibly have been) met Triin and were SO IMPRESSED by her! (well, d-uh, of course!) Needless to say, they finally were astounded by the power of AIESEC. Yay!! And needless to say again, my family is just as crazy as they ever have been..I love those guys =D
The wedding of Nisha and Bala was soooo fun..dancing-dancing, eating-eating, being treated like princesses indeed, eh Triin??
Late Monday night, I bid my see-you-later to Triin..was really really sad..'twas a depressing train journey to Bangalore on Tuesday indeed..not to mention that my reception officer didn't pick me up until 4hours after i reached!!! Once the hyper-ventilation ended, I was all nice and pampered in Kavya's beautiful house, enjoying the Kannadiga hospitality very much indeed!
Wednesday 31stAug afternoon, I met two other AIESEC trainees (Johannes and Patrick)..and a whole bunch of @ers..crazy fun..but i don't think i've ever spent that much time at a coffee bar! (3.5hrs, mind you..i was all talked out). Got my SIM card, and headed to my new abode..my place of stay for the next 10mths..freaky shite..especially since it is NO El Palacio! more like El Crappacio..but i'll survive somehow..Wonderful thing is that my roomies are such fun chicks!
After moving in and chatting with the ladies, we headed for a trainee party at a trainee house that was 5mins away..and this was at 10pm, mind you..not bad, the trainees in Bangalore. =)
Headed home and prepared myself for Day Uno at work..and here I am now! (Apparently, someone at my workplace has already come across my blog..(my CEO told me so, imagine that! hmmmm...i wonder who..the investigations shall begin =D )
Now that I've woken up a bit, I shall get back to my readings..i like being an Intern =D
Hope everything's going A-OK in Singapore..missing chicken rice and chilli sauce SO SO SO much.....
Yams xx

oh come on, we are only 6 hrs away u can survive without chicken rice for the time being or get ur family to ship u Prima Hainese Rice in a box, instant stuff, really gd...
huns, dont have expectations that AIESEC and trainee life will be the same as Sipo, but nevertheles its YOUR traineeship, live it up the way you u want, its up to u? :P
hehe
Aahh..great advice from Ying..indeed, 'no expectations' would be the best way to go =) it's a lot harder than it sounds, especially when u keep gettin ripped off in this country =p
Can't help but compare..hehe
Salut M. Yamkovich!
Wow....you are at El Crappacio, dearest Yamkovich? Is the place more like El Filthicio (which you can clean)or El Dingicio (may be buy more lamps and decorations)?
And you already have STALKERs? (read: those people who came accross your blog and actually remembered it :P, just kidding, don't take it to heart anonymous people :P)
If you have expectations (which is only natural as one is only human with limited experiences)for your traineeship, let them be ruined or be satisfied or be exceeded. C'est la vie, non?
To compare is also natural as if one doesn't how can one choose/ decide for one's best interest?
The most important thing is to adapt accordingly as you've already very well understood and you are very capable of.
The principle of the survival of the fittest :P
Au revoir.
