Back to reality

I'm back home!
Although it feels really nice to be back home, I really miss Singapore and Malaysia!
Everyone was so nice, loving, caring etc etc.

As ealier mentioned I first landed in Singapore, where I attended a few days of Bahadur Bachey Camp in Singapore. That was great. The sevadars were all amazing and dedicated to make it a wonderful time for the kids.

After a few days in Singapore, I left for Malaysia where I met some more beautiful and amazing people. I also met my sister there who is studying as an exchange student in Malaysia for four months (lucky her!).

We also met Arina Penji and her friend from Australia here. Me and my sister went around one day in Malaysia's capital city, Kuala Lumpur (KL). Although exhausted, we made a decision to do something constructive that evening. We helped the sevadars manually add stamps to thousands off envelops.

The next day we went around in KL with Arina and her Australian friend. Had a lot of fun =) We ate lunch at some interesting restaurant that Arina had visited earlier on.

After that we flew Bangkok, where we saw a friend Buddhist temples, met a relative and just went around for 2 days. Imagine how tired we were after several night of a few hours of sleep.

After Bangkok, Samelan begins!

7 days full of activity and lectures, sangat, diwans and meeting more wonderful people. There was soo much to do, so much to attend and so little time to sleep (yes I was a bit late to Japji Sahib a few times..cough)!

After Samelan me, my sister, Kiwi and Harkiran (friends from UK who were also at the samelan) went straight to Singapore with the Singapore bus!
Had a lot of fun with the Singapore people again!


We stayed at Jasbir Singh's house, who made sure our Singapore trip was enjoyable, and full of activity. The five of us (Jasbir, Kiwi, Harkiran, My sis and me) went to the part, did nitnem and had a little picknick there. While doing Nitnem it started raining, so by the time we were done we all had wet and cold bums. All five wet bums decide to go to Ash's place. We stay at his place and contemplate on what to do. We decide to go to a restaurant and eat Singaporean noodles with some of the Singaporean youngsters joining us.



While everyone else went home to rest and change, I went to meet Angad Singh Dilruba and Harpreet Singh, (a paji from Delhi who was at the samelan for a few days and subsequently came to Singapore with the Singapore people) who took me to a store to buy a tuner for my taus.

We attended one day of Naamras Samagam (a huge 4 days samagam organised in Singapore, with loads of Ragis coming from all over), but could't attend the rest since, me and my sis had to leave for KL the following day. After Naamras a lot of Singapore people met and went to Ash's place. Ash held a little party around the swimming pool, where youngesters from all parts of the world met and had a chat, ate some chips and got all funny. By now it's probably 1-2 am. Subsequently it is decided that we (the foreigners) should see the city (it was Christmas day so there were things to be seen). I was exhausted and fell asleep all the time. I was dead.

All in all, I've just got to say that these people are the best people around! They are the most welcoming, caring, friendliest people on the planet! They care so much about you.

Last day of my trip: bus from Singapore to KL (Jasbir had to call around sooo much to get these tickets for us on such a short notice! If it wasn't for him I would've missed my flight back home, which was to depart from KL).

Ok it's getting really late here now, but I'm going to share some some stuff from my trip in the blog. Malaysians are very emotional people, I noticed. Once they get carried away...they get carried away. They're so beautiful and it really makes me think about, how welcoming am I when someone comes to Sweden?

I shall post up more about the trip soon, and I shall add pictures too!
