Don't know what to do at home, 2weeks left and I've done nothing. My O's is finished, I'm going to flung it, but anyway, I am going to blog about my trip!
Day 1 We met in school early in the morning with me taking cab because I thought I'll be late and in the end I was the 3rd to arrive. Amos and Thiru were the 1st. I woke up late though. We set off for Malaysia and met our 3days guide after the malaysia custom. 2groups were playing cards all the way and didn't really listen to what she was trying to say. Our 1st visit was to FRIM(Forestry Research Institute of Malaysia) and the presenter was super lame. Then we went on our canopy walk which was unplanned by the IPC tours and their slogan was "we care". Yeah as if, we had to fork out our own money for the walk. On top, we could see the nice view of the lower places raining and there were a few people who were scared of heights. I was also scared of heights till when I reached Sec3. After the FRIM visit, we went to the the National Mosque of Malaysia and the journey was a scary one. Darren had everyone worried, Liang discovered a leech on bus and there were blood stains on bus. Worst still, the blood stains are just infront of me! Everyone panick and check for leech bites, until finally Darren spotted blood on him then we were relief abit but still we were abit paranoid.
Dinner time, we went to some chinese restaurant, not bad. After which, me and Darren went to search for his video camera's battery and my earpiece which he spoiled on bus. At the shop, the honest Darren went to tel the uncle that he is not local and I was like "...". But anyway, we can't blame him. He is not so much exposed yet to the real world. That's about the main thing that happen for 1st day, we were suppose to get a 4-star hotel but I think we landed up in some 3-star or 3 1/2 star. IPC tours hur?
Day 2 We(my roommates) were quite late for breakfast and we were the last to board the bus. We went to the oil palm factory where they processed all the oil palms and kernels. Omg, pollution! Tons of black smoke were coming out from the factory, please stop work immediately. I rather live without oil palms oil than pollute the environment. Stop harming the nature. The next stop was to the rice factory where rice are being processed, but before that, lunchtime! Lunchtime had everyone surprised by the skills amos has got, deshelling a crab without dirtying his hands! Pro! The rice factory was very very very very dusty. After the factory trip, we went to real padi fields but has dried up because it was the harvesting period. They were good, no scarecrows but they built houses for owls to eat the rats. At night was the firefly trip, it was beautiful. Any couples there will view it as romantic BUT be prepared to spray insect repellant all over you. I got mosquito bites or is it sandflies on the areas which my spray didn't reach like my ankle. So, insect repellant is effective indeed.
Hotel funtime! At night, late at night after the cards game, our room started palying with the cheap ball bought in the afternoon. 1st we played air juggling and Darren because he never really play soccer so his reaction was abit slow. Then liang suggested playing volleyball so the innovative bunch of us decided to use the 2beds as the courts and the lamp in the middle as the net. We played till about 2plus in the morning then Darren's leg cramp and we stopped and sleep.
Day 3 We were the last to board the bus once again. Went to the chocolate factory, nice but ex. I bought a RM25 box of durian chocolate and when I came home, inside only got 9pathetic pieces. Nevermind, day3 nothing much but my tiredness shown when I was buying my earpiece. I bargain the price and the auntie agreed then I asked if I can test, the auntie replied pay money 1st lor then I let you try. Although I sense something wrong in the statement but I was too tired to care due to the previous night's volleyball. Lucky me, the earpiece was working, if not I would have pay a huge price buying something that is spoiled. Who on earth would agree to pay money 1st without even knowing if the product is working well? I'm dumb. Amos and me went almost everywhere in the shopping centre and there was a 6th floor after the carpark which very few people know and up there was like a mini bugis even the prices! The trip back to singapore was quite fascinating when it rains, the front window of the bus has got raindrops but surprisingly, the side windows don't even have a single drop of water!
When we reach singapore, the kind teacher decide to treat us pizza! The total cost was 100plus, thanks mdm!
Overall, the trip was a good one but it would have been better if not for the back 4malays to make so much noise, they sing as if they were some superstar and shouted like nobody's business. I have nothing against the malays as even the 2other malays on bus infront can't stand them. So, it is not a racist comment here. But liang told me it's worst when he went with soccer team to malaysia where only 3chinese were on board. The rest were malays. I was thinking, if they like to sing so much and knock the chair infront of them so much, might as well go join some band competitions. They sing already noisy, they even knock the chair as if it's some drum and the person sitting right infront of them in the chair was me and amos. Thank you for our 'pleasant' bus rides!
