Water fun!!!

The past few days have been exciting!!! Sat afternoon we had to cook for Vinay and I was rather stressed and apprehensive. I hardly cook and all my cooking experience were from sec1 n 2 home econs + occasional training here and there from dagu/ergu/grandma/mummy. But thank God the lunch turned out fantastic!! We cooked potato soup (using the chicken bone, which was sth new to the Indians), fried rice, vege dish (peas/carrot/chicken) and chocolate fondue (the highlight of the day!!). Everything was based on theory, but thank God all went well (just tat we took bout 3h to prepare all that :P )

Yesterday, me and Yingxian went for an unexpected wide water rafting trip. Vinay n Hersh was going down to another city for some family event and decided to bring us along. Halfway, (that city, Kullu was bout more that 50km from the hospital), he randomly suggested we go rafting, (the main road ran alongside the main river which has alot of rapids) and we randomly agreed, thinking that he was planning to bring us another time. Little did we know, he suddenly stopped the car, called a friend (who owned a rafting shop) and then, we were into the water!! But it was a truly exciting experience, riding thru the fast rapids and fighting occasional powerful waves. Other than the adventure, the scene along the river was beautiful, many of which can only been seen from the river. It was indeed worthwhile. Thank God for such a precious opportunity.

However, all our clothes that we wore were soaked, including my waterproof trekking shoes :( So I'll be spending the rest of my time today cleaning and washing my clothes. My jeans are glittering with sand. Washed our shoes yesterday liao, thanks to Xian.

Time passes really fast here. Can't believe it's already into my second week here. The US team and the other Canadian student left last Sunday, so the campus is now rather quiet. As they left, I oso felt a little homesick, but am ok now :)
