He's back ... with photos!

Yay my dear darling hubby is back from India!! Missed him soooo much! Initially he was afraid that Zhu Zhu might not recognise him ... but lo and behold, Zhu was jumping all over him when he saw him. Hehehehehe. Yay!

Here's some of the photos he took there ... I couldn't take all ... er ... army reasons.


First the animals ... there's something weird there.

Cows are considered sacred to them ... so throughout the training they're not allowed to hurt/kill any of the cows. So when there's a cow in the way ... they stop all firing. But if it's a person, the indian army continue to shoot. Gosh ... later I'll tell you something even MORE shocking about the way the poor indians there try to get money.

Bonfire and a dinner fit for formal events! Would you look at that dinner tent!!! It's like ... OMG .. it was set up in the middle of a desert for goodness sake! And it looks soooo grand. Why is their country spending this sort of money to accomodate to the SG army? Got silk like cloth for tentage and cover plush seats, silverware, catered food and even CHANDELIERS!!!

Maybe that's why recently PM Goh Chok Tong told us that we need to further strengthen our ties with India ... they must be thinking the same too.


THE TAJ MAHAL!!! Gosh it's grandness ... it's blinding.

Left pic : It's just the ENTRANCE to the Taj Mahal.
Right pic : Don't ask me why he is sitting there.

Interesting fact about the Taj Mahal. There are 200 buildings there ... 180 of them are tombs. That's why hubby cannot take pictures of the interior.






The buildings in these two pictures look the same right? But they are 2 very different things. Left one is a tomb, right one is a mosque. How to tell the difference? Outside cannot see, inside then can see. But cannot take photo inside.


Right pic : Some memorial for the war.

Okay beautiful pictures of India over ... now here's the sad ones.

Left pic : See that brown hut, and the round brown stuff. You believe that all of those are shit? Yes cow dung to be precise. The women there pick up the shit, flatten it and let it out in the sun to dry so then they can later use it as fuel. Too much so they make a little hut like pile out of it.
Right pic : Need I say anything about how poor these people are?


These are the children of India. It really makes me think that Singapore kids are DAMN DAMN DAMN spoilt. T_T Hubby say cannot give them money ... he actually saw what happened when someone did. Some of the bigger kids punched the smaller kid to get the money from them. And they really fight over money there. GOSH.

Oh yah .. scary thing I tell you. My hubby is in Armor, so he handles tanks. In india training, they shoot and leave the used empty shells of the ammo behind. Kids as young as these RUN INTO THE SHOOTING AREA ... to COLLECT these metal shells. For what?! To sell as metal!!! My gosh ... I couldn't believe my ears when hubby was telling me. And worse!!! They sometimes run into the shooting area in the MIDST OF SHOOTING!!!!! A young teenage boy died while trying to collecting one of the shells, hubby told me. So sad. So just imagine how desperately poor these people are to risk their lives like this to survive. It is NOTHING like those BOLLYWOOD movies ... I dare say bollywood movies make India seem MUCH RICHER than it really is. Sigh.
