HI folks,

created this blog so that you can track my whereabouts without me having to mail you individually or reply your smses/text messages (roaming costs a bomb!). So keep checking back for further updates or boring snippets of what's happening.

Arrived in dharamsala now. After arriving in Delhi on Friday evening (16 June 2006), took a cab to railway station, stood in many lines to buy tickets, met my friend at 3 am (17 June 2006), went to queue in more lines again for tickets, boarded train at 5 am, stood till 9 am in train till we got seats, arrived in Jammu (near kashmir), hunted about with out luggages for a cab, then found one and arrived in dharamsala at 12 midnight. Phew!

Rested for a day on Sunday (June 18) , felt as though I have mild altitude reaction...fatigue and bloatedness. Still have it now...

Monday (June 19) went to Gyuto monastery to receive teachings from Kyabje Denma Lochoe RInpoche, one of Kyabje Zopa RInpoche's Gurus. Rinpoche will be tentatively visiting singapore this coming NOvember. Met up with Ven Sarah for tea, apparently on an indefinite break like myself. Felt an allergy attack during the day, eyes watering and itching, asthmatic and face bloating. Must be purification from the blessings during the day. Took antihistamine during the night and felt better this morning. Now feel as thought I am recovering from a cold. Weakness and stuffed nose. Face still like a balloon.
