Kolkata October 2015

Due to operational reason, we had a one night stay over at Kolkata, India last week! I had a great set of crew, I'd say. We "walked" our way up from Singapore to Kathmandu then Kolkata. 

Physically exhausted, we finally disembarked from the plane and head our way to our accomodation. I never thought I'd ever step foot into India(eventhough I'd love to visit this country atleast once in my lifetime) and this was a great opportunity!

Immigration and security was ironically tight almost everywhere. Once we're done with immigration issues, we waited for our pick-up. I really didn't like the fact that we were "visually molested". HAHAHA. Takot I, dorang tengok kita macam nak makan. Well of course, after  hearing alot of rape incidents, who isn't afraid right!? All of us really sticked together like glue.




Our exhausted face after close to 9-10hours. 



I must say I was expecting a totally run down place and undeveloped place but I'm impressed that they are developing! The buildings around almost looked like Johor Bahru + Punggol, I kid u not!



Impressive hotel room I must say! Novotel here is much more better than in Cairns(that include service as well!).

All of us rest for about an hour and met back for dinner. We asked the reception for help to get us two cabs. 




Ghetto right the cab? Dah macam cerita hindustan though!
I totally dressed down, obviously not wanting to get any attention but still failed. They will still stare at you, oh my gosh.

We made our way to the shopping mall near Swissotel. The place was so crowded! Took us awhile to find a good restaurant for dinner. 

Impressive kan?

Anyway, all of us finally settled for Blue Nile. lol. We had huge servings! Our SM joined us for dinner. Food came in late but it was all good, all of us were too hungry to even complained! hehe, we had hyderabadi briyani, palak paneer, some indian yoghurt, tandoori platter and also some mushroom thingy. SEDAP, really.




Once dinner was completed, all had Gelato ice cream! 2 scoops for $2/$3, good deal! We made our way to Spencer's after that. The traffic is horrible, we walked our way there feeling all pissy and humid because the vehicles couldn't stop honking and people by the side road couldn't stop staring. Then again, bucketlist striked off: Walking in the streets of India at Night!

All of us were cursing and swearing, the noise. Like omg, unbearable! 

So after feeling like as though we've walked a mile, we finally reached! Spencer is like Mustafa centre gitu. All was scouting and roaming around. I'm all in to try Indian delicacies and drinks. So, we bought masala tea! So cool that we got ourselves a clay cup and only paying 25 Rupees for the drink and cup!!


I so gelojoh. Saw mojito(mocktail of course) also want to buy. lol




Not bad but super hot!

Oh, we took a group photo cos' we chanced upon "Thumbs up!" which was their "coke". Now all us of kind of understood what were they asking onboard. ahahahha



I was too shy that I had to hid behind them. You guys have no idea the crowd we got when we took this photo but my crew all tak tau malu. HAHA cume I je.

Once we were done, we head back to the hotel. It was a good night, definitely.
Slept like a baby after having a convo with Bubs.

The next morning, all met at 9am for brekkie. The spread was okay(I've had better but why barge when it's free? hehe)



I LOVE THEIR ICED COFFEEE! I'd willingly come back to this place for the breakfast's coffee, seriously!

Right after breakfast, some of us when tk the shopping mall behind the hotel. Not bad, I bought my Indian treats. Another bucketlist crossed out: Trying out those manisan that includes Ladoo!



Gave this treats a try before getting ready to go back. I love that square thingy! Mustafa should sell kan!?

Anyways, we checked out at 1pm. 


My make up felt "on-point" hence, the selfie.


While waiting for our transport back to the airport, we had a mini photoshoot and not forgetting crewfie(s)!



If you can tell, these are all fake laughters. HAHAH Because cabin crew are all actresses onboard okay, now you know a little something. 






I love this shot! I look like a doll(HAHAHA, jk). Speaking of a doll, we met this lovely girl onboard which look like that russian/ukranian model barbie doll!



Hehe. Anyway, so that was it. A short sweet India layover. I'm gonna miss seeing cows by the road. Say what? Cows and cattles!


SERIOUS.

That's all folks! Till I update something new. Oh, selit a little wedding updates here. Bubs and I went to make our cards yesterday with chulo. Thank god I was there cos' so tedious then again, the meet up was a little pointless cos' instructions can be over the phone though. Last2 Bubs tolak balak, I yang kena buat all. -_-

Went over to TKC for my veil appointment. Somebody isn't very pleased with me throwing that amount of money on a veil. 


He was saying that I can buy him 4 years worth of fifa. Omg, no. Anyways, we went for a quick lunch/dinner at OneKM's pizzahut then head back home.
So that was it!

Till then!
xoxo.
