Day 10 in Hyderabad, India

15 July 2009

Tonight... we will be watching Transformer 2 with most of the RnH people... someone actually organize this event... so that RnH stuff can get to be together sometimes... oh... the cinema is call PRASAD IMAX... according to the local... it was a Largest IMAX in the world... as record for now.. still not sure yet...

after working hour... we (me, Pitt, and Bert) went there early because of some transportation problem... we follow Praveen car to Nicolas Road... and than we took around 15 minutes to walk to the PRASAD IMAX... sorry i didnt manage to take the photo of the IMAX... coz it was raining and we kinda rush in to find shelther... as for others (Steve, Desmond, and PawXuan) follow Trishna car to the IMAX... while Khairul decided not to join us for some special reason...

when 3 of us arrive IMAX... we kinda shop around coz it was still early for the movie... and than we found a restaurant which the logo is almost same as BurgerKing except that they are call Mamu... didnt manage to get the photo of the restaurant... but manage to get a snap shot of the cup with the logo on it...

after that... all of us gather up in front of the IMAX hall entrance... and i rougly saw there was around 20 RnH people + Bill Kroyer is also there with us waiting to get inside the Hall... once we were inside... i get quite shock when i see the size of the interior and the big screen... mayb this is the first time i watch IMAX...

the size of the screen i was talking about:
- as for my friends in Sunway...
is roughly like 5 times bigger compare to the TGV Sunway Pyramid...
- as for my friends in Kota Kinabalu...
it was rougly 4 times bigger compare to the GSC Kota Kinabalu...

After movie... we chit chat for a while outside the hall... and than all of us head home with the company cab...

Day 7 in Hyderabad, India

12 July 2009

today was our first SUNDAY in Hyderabad... so we have plan something for today... roughly around 2pm... we gather up and take Atu to the nearest train station which is... HitecCity Station... we bought our ticket with just only INS 3... which is so cheap for us... the train will arrive in HitecCity Station on 3.15pm... so we kinda walk around the Station to search for something special... and we manage to took some photos... on 3.17pm... the train arrive and we get into the first class compartment... when the conductor come n check our ticket... he actually told us the ticket we buy is normal compartment not the 1st class... so on the next station... we have to change compartment.. around 4pm... we arrive at the Hyderabad Station which is in Hederabad Old Town...


we walk around at the city and than we bough our return 1st class ticket which is INR72 in case the que get long in the night... after that... we took Atu to our destination, Charminar... a historical building in India... for more info Charminar.. plz search the website... somehow the Atu guy become our tour guide and translater... when we arrive at Charminar... we pay entrance fee... INS 100 per tourist... INS 25 per local... after paying for our entrance.. we tour around the building and manage to get some nice shot of the busy streets from top of it... and there is a security guard come over and talk with us... he even roughly tour us around the building and talk about the history of this Charminar... even though he is a security... but he know his country history so well.. i dont think i can tell that much of history things of my own country to tourist visiting Malaysia like him... he was such a nice person...

After Charminar... we were brough to a Pearl Shop... btw... Hyderabad most famous item is PEARL... especially BLACK PEARL... in the shop... we manage to buy some pearl with our cash... everyone of us was thinking... "If only I bring more cash today..." the pearl there was way too cheap... according to RnH ppl... they say Pearl here was cheap because it was still not that refine as what we saw in the Expensive shop... besides... Hyderabad produce more Pearl than any other places... I manage to bought some and planning to make it as a present to someone... which i cant say it here... coz i kinda like wanna surprise them... n i really hope she n others like it...

after the Pearl shop... it was already around 7pm... so we decided to head home... and again... we took train to get back to HighTec City and Atu to Malaysian Township... i guess thats all for the day... ^^

ps: for any more detail... u can accquire from me personally...

everyone of us wake up quite late for today... coz we have appointment with Praveen on 3pm actually... but still most of us wake up around 10am because of hungry... haha... we meet up at Club House to have our breakfast there... during the meet up... we actually push today plan early with the approval from Praveen... but still... something happen to the transportation so we were just roughly 1 hour ahead of the normal plan...

Around 4pm... we left the Hyderabad Mall and head to Praveen's house... acording to him... there is a nice view of Hussein Sagar (name of a lake) from his house... once we arrive at his house... he bring us to the roof top to have a look of the wonderfull view... and when we get up there... it was quite a surprising view... Its a view of a whole Hussein Sagar... WOW!!! and than we chit chat with Praveen for quite sometimes about India, Malaysia, etc...

Around 6pm... Praveen bring us to the Buddha Statue on the Hussein Sagar... we actually took a boat to the place... because the Buddha Statue is on the middle of the lake... and the only way there is by boat... Besides, it was a quite a tourism place... other than those... the Buddha Statue also got a story behind it... cant really type it here... or else it will be a very long blog again... if reader want to know more... get info from me personally or you can check the website about it...

Day 5 in Hyderabad, India

10 July 2009

around 7pm... as always... dinner time... haha... all 8 of us actually went to club house to eat Maharaja Club ( some kind of sandwich )... sadly i didnt manage to take some photo on the food... because we were too hungry until non of us remember to take photo on the food... although we wait quite a long time but its worth waiting... coz the taste of it is really quite difference... we finish our dinner roughly around 8.30pm... and sadly we didnt want to get back home so early... so all of us decide to go out of Township for a sight seing again...

after we walk out... our first stop is Foodworld (supermarket)... we go in and roughly bought some ingredient which we think we are lack of it... and than surprisingly... PawXuan bought something and she say she wan us to become her white mice... after some Q&A... we realise that she got experience in cooking... so we dont really mind being her white mice.. coz someone who can cook wont cook out something bad to put into the mouth... XD

After the Foodworld... we continue our journey and our 2nd stop is some kind of indian traditional clothing shop... next... we stop by in a sport shop to do some survey of shoe and slipper... after that we all continue the journey and PawXuan start searching for some film shop for her personal stuff... we walk quite long time searching for some good film shop and survey around with the price... and than when someone give the signal "is late... we better head home..." than only we let go the experience of sight seing and head for home...

7pm... all of us gather at club house for our dinner... of coz except Steve... reason is all of us here is already in hungry ghost situation... during the dinner in the club house... we actually try to order food which is not spicy... so that PawXuan can enjoy the food like we normally did... btw.. PawXuan dont really get into spicy food... she cant really eat something very spicy... and instead of ordering the non-spicy food... without notice... PawXuan has order the most spicy dish among the food for the dinner tonight... which is Gobi 65... lucky that tonight dinner is sharing... so we divide the food spicy n non-spicy...

after dinner just because it is raining cats and dogs... all of us hang around in room 104 waiting the rain to get smaller... around 9pm... Steve reach home with a electric guitar cost around INR16k... sadly... Steve hvnt eat his dinner yet... so during the moment we hving fun in the living room...

Hot Chips + Tendori Chicken

8 July 2009

everything was way too normal on the day... so that i wont repeat again... if not later my reader gonna complain about it... XD

the story start around 7pm... tonight... we decided to go buy some Hot Chips... and have a taste of a "MUST TRY" tandori chicken somewhere near Malaysia Township... we gather up near the guard house... and than we all head out to find our mysterious Hot Chips... oh... forgot to mention... we are walking to there... no transportation needed... so we actually gain some dangerous and memorable experience of crossing the road in Hyderabad, India... and it took us around 20 minutes for the travel distance and to successfully found both Hyderbad Chef and the Hot Chips Stall... Actually we didnt found it ourself... coz the local people treat us like Tourist... so Khairul ask them and they actually know what we looking for... so i guess i think i know the reason why it is a "MUST TRY" for the hot chips... we buy quite a lot of Hot Chips there...

After the Hot Chips... we go to Hyderabad Chef to try another "MUST TRY" tendori chicken... there is 8 of us... and we order 2 full tendori chicken, some naan, mutton... as for drinks... some order mineral water, ThumbsUp ( Coca-Cola, dunno why they name ThumbsUp here ), Mazza (some kind of orange juice)... after dinner been serve... all of us actually know the reason for the "MUST TRY"... just before we pay some bill... some weird thing been serve to us... according to the waiter... it was just a mouth refresher... which we bite it to refresh our mouth... honestly... it taste so weird... ( imagine something with the size of one rice... with the taste of Mint + Bedak... and normally u need 1 tea spoon to refresh )... Yuacks...

After Hyderabad Chef... we walk around in this small city... and i manage to took some picture with 2 cow in such a close range... it was so damn fun especially when cows look at us thinking something like "what the hell this 2 human doing?!"... than we continue our journey... we actually walk into a open field and watch people play Volleyball.. surprisingly... the local ppl come and invite us to play with them... but we denied them... coz all of us wear slipers... and we cant really play volleyball... than we chit chatting with them for a while... XD

than... is time to head home... BUT... the sky start to pour rain... while were on our way back... the rain getting bigger and bigger... we have no choice but to take Rikshaw home... and this is our first time to take Rikshaw in Hyderabad, India...
