Today we went to Batam.Got up early, only to miss the first ferry by a few mintues,thanks to dad. The motive of the trip was to visit a hindu temple. Having arrived at our desination, my sister berated herself for not bringing the camera with her.What awaited next to the temple grounds was truly a sight to behold. Well, it was for me. The temple was a balinese style hindu temple. The structure looked as if it was resting on a dragon. I could probably rave about the temple for hours.The balinese people working on the temple seem to be of careless sort as I found that i had stepped on a piece of thorn branch which looked liked a harmless piece of stick. That brought memories of the time i was in india when i was 4 yrs old,when I stepped on a thorn branch with thorns the length of more then one inch. We had an uneventful lunch at a nearby restaurant. Got a taxi and went to shopping centre next to the ferry centre.

Rain
Posted by chirchi965 on November 9, 2006
The haze is over,and the rain has come. The temperature is nice and cool. It makes one want to have something hot to drink or have some hot soup noodles. Sigh. Snuggling into bed with a good book. So cliche. What about the exact opposite. Go out and get wet in the rain, enjoy the great outdoor.

Memories
Posted by chirchi965 on November 1, 2006
I was thinking about visiting the botanical garden this week; this triggered memories of the times I spent in the parks in vancouver.Once the visit turned to an impromptu fishing trip, improvising plastic cups to scoop fishes. The kids had loads of fun trying to catch the fishes, there was this sense of anticipation on who will be the first to catch any fish.At the end of the trip we had caught about 5 or 6 fishes, which were tiny in size. I ended up catching some weird fish which looked like a trunk fish. It was fun fishing. It’s something I don’t want to forget.
