First Things First!

Yeah..finally after pondering over the thought of starting a blog, I am writing the FIRST one today. And since I have really nothing sensible to write, perhaps i should write about the so many Firsts i had during the last 15 days.
The story began at the stroke of midnight on 28th Feb. I boarded the Indian Airlines flight to Singapore, my First international venture. After arrival in Singapore, we got the access cards for our hostel in NTU. Well, i used a access card also for FIRST time only!(Read ahead..its full of pointless facts!). On weekend, we roamed around the Singapore city. On Marina Bay, we had Icecream with Bread! Now had any of u even heard about such a dish! This was followed by Lunch at a South Indian restaurant where i tried Chettinaad chicken for the first time. Oh also, i used a debit card for the first time![Yes, IITK friends..i hv account in UBI only].
On Sunday, I, Kaushik and his friend Vimal went to Sentosa Island Resort. At this place, I had lots of firsts and some of them might interest you also. We visited Merlion, Images of singapore(depicts history of the country) and had ride in the cable car which took us 130 m high on sky tower. But since we are talking about the Firsts only, lets cut short this story. We saw a 15 minute movie at Sentosa. Now that does not sound interesting at all. Ok it was a 4-D movie show! 4-D movie show involves normal 3-D cinema + u get the effects like water is sprinkled on u if the movie star is sliding through a water stream, u feel crabs near ur legs etc. It was one unique experience. This was followed by a luge ride. Then we visited the underwater world where we saw huge variety of fish. Sharks, crabs, jelly fish, starfish, all of them. And then was the time for the Dolphin show. Well i will let the pics do the talking for that. Just wait for some more time :). We were planning to leave when something on the Sentosa map caught our eyes: Southermost point of Asia continent. The view there was beautiful( i just cant find a word to express that!). One can see the vast ocean and also Indonesia and Malaysia.
On the next weekend, I visited a south indian temple in little india. Aptly said by kaushik, i am discovering south india here.
Well the weekdays involved some not so interesting firsts like using washing machine, and i cant even recall others right now :).
And i guess now its time to click the "Publish post" button below. And hopefully there will be another first, the first comment on my blog!
