~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ok i know its so LAME... cos its so not understandable for u ppl out there.
but this was the situation which we were sitting down on the dining table and theres this group member teacher of ours asking such questions + giving superb funny expression.......
still not understandable then :P forget it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2.) onglidan fell countless times this time!!! esp while walking on snow!!!!

6.) me????????
guess wat!
ONGLIWEN LITERALLY FAINTED after last picture wif snowman on gulmarg mountain. one of the mountains of the foot of himalayas.
it started wif blurish images and even blurer images and pooop ! blackness...!
thinking it was minor .
i lay on snow and tour guide seeing something not right and immediately lifting me up.
not piggybag style but two arms out lifting style.
sheeeex!!!! i thought i was heavy enough tat no one could lift me up in tat manner!!
was always thinking tat i wouldnt die tat easily even if i was shot down by a bullet.
however, after wat had happen... i believed i would leave the world jus like tat.....
due to high altitude and coldness despite wearing 6 tops , 4bottoms and 4 socks i passed out.
tour guide : keep urself awake. dun sleep
liwen : ok i will.
cos theres such circumstances where ppl closed their eyes and left jus like tat...
i may be one of them during tat time .
the feeling was soooooooo horrible .
+
the immediate reaction of the guide. i was sooo touched and am lost of words.
he carried me, hugged me, continuous rubbing of hands and walking me downhill.

guess i should stop here...
if not u ppl will get sleepy by the amount of reading of all those words....
