Stuff on the ferry+
They sell the map and seashells?


Scenery from the ferry+
I'm sorry, I forgot.


Scenery from the ferry+
Yes, this too...


Scenery from the ferry+
Just the sun and sea.

Israel, Sea of Galilee+
We met up with the local guide and went for a ferry ride in the Sea of Galilee. Here, we trace footsteps of Jesus and his journey here. You can see some of them here. Capernaum, Mt Tabor.


Israel, Sea of Galilee+
The ferry leaves the aclove...


Israel, Sea of Galilee+
Many, many, many seagulls... I bet they know we were going to throw some bread for them.


Interior of the ferry+
Theres a map highlighting where Jesus went. I realised most of them were clustered around the sea. Makes the sea really special and you can see a lot of important buildings from the ferry. Upon request, they will play their national song. (:

Petra ruins+
The artist provides "personalized" service. You can grab a bottle on the shelves here, write your name/messages/etc on a paper and hand it over to the artist. He will "write" the words in the bottle with sand. Its really nice and unique. The sand he uses is 100% natural. He gets them from rocks. You can see the rocks on his workdesk too. You may see a repetition of patterns but its very "desert" theme. You can grab bigger bottle at a price. (:


Leaving Petra+
The sun was shining bright that day. Had to take a few shots XD, though they did not turn out very nice...


Leaving Petra+
Rock formations. People come here to study them. Local Jordanians and foreigners.


Leaving Petra+
We saw some India Indians on our way back. There are quite a few Indian expatriates in Jordan. They mostly specialise in IT and stuff. They like Petra (:

Petra Ruins+
Highlight of the day! It is the "Treasury". You can walk in and take a look, but its kind of empty. Right now, people are still excavating the site so...there may be more in the future.

Petra Ruins+
Same shot, but with a better camera (not mine though ): )


Petra ruins+
Another ruin, but I'm not sure what it is. Its a short walk away from the Treasury.


Petra ruins+
One of the stuff you can purchase here is...sand art! The artist is demonstrating his skills here. He's "drawing" a camel. Sorry, couldn't find any other verbs here.

Road to Petra+
The hotel's pretty near the ruins. The whole group had to walk to the ruins. :D


Horse Carriage+
If you're lazy, you can hop on one! (:

Road to Petra+
Some (random?) square pillar we saw. The road is pretty long so we got to see a few ancient relics (:



Road to Petra...+
Yup, there's more to be covered!

*Wipes off dust* I'm back...to post my travel photos.
This will take a while. I pray that PICASA will work its wonders.
It made posting photos unbelievably easy.
Maybe blogspot is for me. I tried livejournal and did'nt like it at all.
Is it me being a tech-dinosaur? ):

Saw some personality test on Wee Yang's blog. Like he said, its pretty true... :x

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

-AC GAMES-

Seems like everyone is saying it, so I won't say much, but...

"1SC2 2007 PWNED AC GAMES!!!"

Never I have felt so "enthu" for competitive sports.

Maybe its the magic of 1SC2.

So,

THANK YOU GUYS!

Yeah, 32nd Students Council did a great job too! XD


P/S :
Yeah, its a short post. I'm still...well, not recovered...
The K-Drama "Hwang Jin Yi" made me so sad!
" Goodbye, my first love."

Well, with time on my hands, I sure degraded into a hikkikomori.
Played Bleach Blade Battlers 2
And it was damn fun.
Watching the bankai and stuff.

Other than that, I did some soulsearching for the past 9 months.
I sure have let myself down.
And more importantly, I've let down others too.
In many many ways.

I guess there's no turning back.
I sure hope they can forgive me.

Things have changed.
I can only accept it
and give my blessings.

So be it.
I have so much to learn.

The world feels so distorted.
I feel like a emo-kid already.

And it kind of sucks.

I just feel so tired.
I don't feel like trying anymore.

Maybe it will be now.
To really finish off what was due 3 months ago.

Lets hope tomorrow will be better.
One day at a time.
