today i learn something new... which is... Hyderabad is the CITY name... Andhra Pradesh is the STATE name... India is the COUNTRY name... hahaha... actually learn from reading sign board... XD
back to story... today is the 2nd Saturday i spend in Hyderabad... Happily we BgPrep Apprentice got a tour to Ramoji Film City with a RnH senior BgPrep Artist name, Karthick... according to someone... this Ramoji Film City is a place where ppl use those setting to shot movie... so that they didnt need to borrow this and that from the government...
early in the morning... Siddhart Shah guide us from Malaysian Township to Mandapur Station to meet up with Karthick... while waiting for the bus... Siddhart treat us all for breakfast near the Mandapur Station... After breakfast and farewell to Siddhart... we all hope into the tour bus and head to Ramoji Film City... Yeah ^^ sadly... it was quite a long journey... if i didnt misscount it.. it took us 1 hour plus to reach Ramoji Film City...
When we reach at the Ramoji Film City main entrance... we go buy our tickets at the main entrance counter and do some security checking and hope back into the bus and head to the 2nd entrance... honestly u cant see the 2nd entrance from the main entrance... this is because... the distance from the main entrance to the 2nd entrance is 9KM away... reason?! i didnt ask the Ramoji Film City tour guide... coz he cant speak English... =="
when we reach Ramoji Film City 2nd entrance... there is a brief from the tour guide that we will be leaving on 5.30pm sharp... b4 he end his brief... he say "good luck to those who are late" in Telegu... and than... we arrive at the entrance of the Ramoji Film City 3rd entrance... which all tourist need to walk from now onwards... after getting down from the bus... everyone happily go into the famous Ramoji Film City...
while we inside the Ramoji Film City... we take a inside tour bus to go to the film setting... and sadly... while we reach there... hmmm... should say while we pass by all those background setting... it makes us really happy... sadly... they dont allow us to go down and take picture... only pass by those beautiful scene... T.T after that... we go walk around the tiny garden, big garden, super big garden and etc... after all those walking here and there... we're getting hungry and started to find which restaurant suite us better... so stupid of us to think of that... coz all the food in India is suppose to be the same... SPICY!!! the only different is either southern india food (naan, dosa, puratha, etc) or northern india food (rice, noodle, chup suey, etc)... and finally we found our lunch place... which is in the place with the theme of Wild Wild West... a cowboy town... but sadly... is all indian food... =="
after our lunch... we get into a building and watch ppl explaining on how to set up a film from scratch... it wasnt quite surprise us at all... coz we were in this entertainment field... so it was really boring for us BgPrep Apprentice and Karthick... after that... we go walk around and take some picture again... at last... we get the chance to watch a stunt show also with the theme of Wild Wild West... a cowboy story setting... but the difference is... they do stunt for tourist to watch... i think the whole story is around 30 minutes...
After all those things... its getting 5pm... so we head back to the Ramoji Film City 3rd entrance to wait for our bus... coz we dont want to be late... and all of us dont want to imagine what if we late... while we were waiting the bus... we kinda like take a rest on the grass behind the big rock which cover us from the public... and by 5.30pm... the bus take off... and head back to Mandapur Station... this time.. it took us 2 and half hour to reach the destination... mostly are because of the heavy rain, some stupid traffice jam, and a stupid car accident... XD
when we reach Mandapur Station... is already around 8pm... and than we decided to hv our lunch at KFC... since we were somewhere near a KFC restaurant... well?! thinking y so stupid to eat KFC in India?! this is because... every KFC in every country is different taste... dont believe?! u can try it in any fast food restaurant... YES!!! is any FAST FOOD restaurant...
thats all for today rougly Ramoji Film City journey... and... KFC as dinner... ^^

Today is the day we (Pitt, Albert, Desmond, Steve n Me) move out from Malaysian Township to Banjara Hills... Reason... Match Moving batch is coming over to India... so as "senior" we have to give the best to the junior... and we move to somewhere... unfortunately... when we arrive Banjara Hills, G P Residency, Room 302... we feel that it was far more better than Malaysian Township... is just that we have to walk quite a distance to get food...
There are 3 rooms with 2 attach bath rooms and 1 main bath room in this house... Room 1: Pitt .. Room 2: Jothan n Steve .. Room 3: Desmond n Albert .. Living Room: Steve n Albert... There is also a lot of things has been ready in the friege...
After setting down... we decided to went to GVK Mall for lunch... besides... we also decide to shop around in the mall to kill time and wait for special party tonight at Coco Restaurant... Desmond bought a Shisha in the Mall while some of us bought Transformer toys including Me... while we simply walk around... we arrive at a theme park at the top floor... the theme park is just like the size of the Arcade in Sunway Pyramid... and the most unpredictable is... we actually bought a ticket and went into "The House of Horror"... WAhaHahAa.... at first we though it was just another "sucks" house of horror... but it was really far HORROR than what we have accounted...
