Weekend Adventure

Rainy Weather.. A Stairway with old leaves ..Abandoned Hospital.. broken glass peices. broken windows ..broken doors ..Walls with paint coming out of it.. Lonely long passages.. water dripping on the sealing ..green moss on the floor... Anthills on the grills of the windows..unsued lifts..broken sinks..rusted pipes.. A perfect plot for a Hindi movie i must say ,but it was not the case . I along with five other people (Amit ,Ashish ,Imran ,Manju and Sham) went to Old changi Hospital near Changi Village on Sunday for a photo shoot out !! The place was interesting ..a perfect bhoot bangla (Haunted house ).

We climbed untill the 4th floor and explored using our cameras floor by floor. Me with my Panasonic FZ5 and Manju with his Sony DSC H1. All others had DSLRs (I should get one but i don't when will that day come !). We saw ICUs, Common rooms ,Geriatric Ward,Operating theaters , Old Lifts , Nurse's Tea Room etc, etc . The ward rooms which once upon a time might have been filled with hospital beds and patients on them ,was a empty hall with water dripping from the ceiling , rusty pipes , old swtich boards and some writings ( Someone Died here ) on the wall which was recently painted !
I did some adventure to climb the ladder and reached the terrace of the building. Clicked some shots of colorful saling boats and planes landing through the clouds !!
We found lot of bottles of canned drinks inside the building , i guess lot of people who come near the Changi Sailing club come to visit this old building too ! No wonder there were so many bottles and writing on the walls of the building !! By the time we finished exploring the building and capturing it in our camera's i was tired and hungry.. and it was getting dark ..so i didnt want to join any sort Ghost meet up in case if they have one ;-) !!!
P.S : The lonely fish in the fish tank is still alive and when i am there in the house i go ten times to see whether it is swimming or not !! Extra precautious you see !!

What more do you need to make it a not-so-good-day !!!


* Hurt my gums while brushing my teeth int he morning.

* Fought with my friend and wasn't speaking to him the whole day .[ Sorry !!! ]

* Reached home and found out that 3 out of the 4 fishes in the Fish tank were dead and i was the one who was feeding them since my landlord is out of station. Was upset with this! The lonely fish was roaming around amond the dead fishes .With lot of courage i took out the three dead fishes using a basket like handle ! Even though the fishes were dead ,when i touched those delicate dead fishes with the handle i felt shiver run thru my whole body ! Their flaps looked so delicate ,they were bright orange in color but they had almost lost their color now.
I am not sure what caused their death , Did i over feed them or Was it bcos of the water not changed ?

The picture below is of the fish tank !!

* Kept rice in the microwave . The water evaporated and the microwave bowl got burnt and there was a hole! This was at 10:45 P.M in the night . I kept rice again ,not in the microwave this time !!

Lucky that i didnt get any nightmares about the fishes !!
The first thing i did today morning was to check the lonely fish in the fish tank , i was so afraid that it will also die of solitude !! It was alive and roaming around in the water !! I hope to see it again when i go back home in the evening ...

First Impression is important..

What makes me say the title of this post is ..there is a new bakra in the team . So what ? There are already so many bakras in the team ,what special about this new bakra ??
He happens to be the leader of all the bakras (including me) here in my team . Yes a new manager for our project is here .So everyone has to put a good impression to him as instructed in yesterday's meeting ;-) !!!
Some people got up as soon as he came , i thought it was too much . Others went to the hotel to pick him up ..hmmm (Maska... !!) ..Everyone trying to put up the good impression ! My contribution ... NOTHING !!!!! (Except this post ..maybe i can dedicate to him.. Haaaa haaaa haaaa!)
Impressions on sand..
