here i 'war na cum'

i'm in chennai, india. the centre of tamil movies. beautiful place, dusty though. food's great, but i dunno, my tummy is working up ever since i got here. damn it. what to do, i'm a damn chinese. can't ever get use to the food and water i reckon. it's been raining shit, literally. exhausted. so not funny. do you know what its like shitting like you are peeing. and no, micky, roti canai isn't discovered in chennai. haha. silly me. i actually believed you. there is everything else except, canai!!! haha.

feels weird getting stared at all the time here. it's so bad, people stop at their tracks to stare at me. and you know it ain't well receive when they've got that OMFG look on their faces. i guess it's like having an indian in china. for obvious reasons. and i think i confuse them even more with the colours on my body. haha.

traffic here is insane!! LOL... i don't think anyone here ever learned to drive. nobody gives a shit. haha. and the honking. i think can pretty much measure up with jakarta. can't even sleep in peace. the honking just goes on and on... the funny thing is, why even bother honking when nobody gives a shit. i honk, you honk, i dont give a shit, you dont give a shit. what a beautiful world. haha. i doubt i'll be able to drive here. too chicken shit to even cross the road.

been on a tight schedule ever since i landed, but it's great to meet the people i've met. tamil directors and actors. :) i'm not familiar with their work though, but neither are they with mine. haha.

ya ya, it's been a while since i wrote something. what to do. ain't much of a writer in me. ain't much of a blogger too to begin with. hate writing, in our modern case, typing. haha.

i wanna go home. i miss it. i'm war na cumming baby!! hahaha...

i kiasu la dawg... that's why i did this :

derived fr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roti_canai

Origin of the word

Roti means bread in Hindi, Urdu, most other North Indian languages, and Malay. The term "canai" derives either from:

* Chennai, a city in India which is formerly known as Madras. Roti canai is presumed to have been introduced by immigrant labour from the Madras region where a similar combination of parotta and dalcha - the accompanying lentil curry - is served. [1] The city has used variations of the name Chennai since 1640 A.D., predating the use of the colonial name Madras.
* "Channa", a mixture of boiled chickpeas in a spicy gravy from Northern India which was traditionally served with this dish. The roti in Northern India is different from that served in Malaysia. It is more similar to the South Indian parotta, a later variant of the Singaporean roti paratha. In addition, roti canai is served with dhal or lentils curry rather than chickpeas. Hence this is also moot.
* 'canai' the Malay word for 'spreading out', which refers to the act of preparing the dough.
