In Batam Day 2 (7th November 2009):
I will continue from yesterday onwards =] My journey did not end there =] There were more interesting ones ahead XD
I woke up at around 4.45am local time in Batam which is 5.45am in Singapore =] We were following Singapore time =] When the alarm rang, Chun Liang was quite frustrated because he did not sleep well the day before X.X He and Rabbani kept disturbing me when I tried sleeping X.X They used the pillow to hit me X.X I think they slept quite late at night... They were unwilling to wake up... So I did not bother them and went on bathing =] Took a hot bathe and felt refreshing after that shower =] After I showered, I walked out and Chun Liang was already waiting for me. He was lying on the bed, asking me if I am done X.X Tiaos ! So I took the chance to do some packing first =] My sentiments told me that night will be tight ! It appeared to be true =] So I was fortunate to pack earlier =] Even if it does not, I still able to plan what to do after I return back to Singapore or rather what should I blog =] Hahas =] I will be away for 7days =] Could not wait ! =]
So I packed everything and started filming around the room =] Since I had left a few minutes of tape so why not use it for the hotel =] Later, brought all my necessities down to the conference room and assemble =] Everybody seem half awake and the room only the counselors screaming and shouting -.- So Quite irritated actually.. Sickening ! How boring it was in the morning ! Finally the breakfast time arrived, hoping they would get some energy to talk at least =] Very desperate to eat =] I had a hearty meal in the Nmorning =] After I ate my breakfast, the room began to be more lively =] Now the counselors were the ones who were annoyed X.X Bla Bla BLA ! I don't care =] Mr Raj came and briefed us on what is going to happen throughout the day =] Day 2 was an important day because they was a cultural night taking place. Sharing cultural stuffs with each another =]
We took a group photo before heading towards the school =] After the photo taking session, we went to the school immediately =] Same problem when we got there, the entrance was too low for the bus to pass X.X A few guys were pushing away the levelers =] It took quite long for them because i think it is heavy X.X As usual the road was soggy on the way up to the school =] Some of the students were expecting us =] I felt like a VIP on the way up =] Hahas =] Proceeded on straight to the english package =] I set myself a goal =] It was to interact with the Batam students =] At least one or two =] I will be delighted =] In the end, I made some friends X.X About seven or eight them =] Seven girls and one boy =] Since many of them focusing on the guys so I take the opportunity to teach the girls =] So as to balance up =] I taught them verbs =] taught them some games =] Hahas =] I really don't mind spending more time with them =] They were very attentive when I was sharing with them =] Appreciated it a lot =] Due to some crash in timing, we had to leave earlier =[ So bid farewell to them =] Hoping they would remember this memorable session =] I told them to read some simple english book will help to improve their english =] The nod their heads =] Which means I hope they agree to do so =]
We went for lunch first and then resumed the activities planned by the teachers and counselors =] The scavenger hunt was totally exhausting X.X We were so engaged in the activities that we almost forgotten about the reporting time X.X They were very persistence =] I was tracking for the time =] So it was almost time up =] Started making noises =] I did not really help much =[ Feeling quite terrible... I was busy filming the whole scavenger hunt =[ Took very nice shots of the scenery and people running around searching for clues =] I was very afraid we would get scoldings from the teachers if we don't report on time. I was just afraid of Milford because he always slipped off suddenly without anyone knowing X.X So our group leader went to accompany him back to the original place =] Najihah, Zaharah and me walked back together =] I could feel their tiredness as they still had rehearsal later =[ Pitied them =[ I was quite worried for them so kept asking them if they were alright =[ When we reached the reporting place, we went to crave for drinks first =] Was very thirsty X.X I was still carrying a bag =[ Many valuables inside and I can't afford if I loose them =[ I sat down and felt a little better =] They were still trying to solve the mystery =[ So I was a little irritated after a while... I approached my group and tried helping but it was too late X.X Before my words, they had done the puzzle. Never mind XD Next time =]
We went back to the hotel to rest and freshen up ourselves before the cultural night =] Thank GOD ! I was exhausted so do my group members =] Brilliant team of mine =] Took a warm shower =] I laid on the bed and almost fell asleep.. Our adjoining neighbour kept knocking on the door so did not sleep =[ I did not intend to sleep actually because I know that tonight there will be story tellings within my room mates X.X Finally, the time has arrived =] Pretty excited =] Indeed !
During the cultural night, my throat felt a little sore =[ Probably after eating the dinner provided.. Nevertheless, filming the entire cultural night. I was roaving around the hall and Soon Chuan was stationaring at the middle of the audiences =] Gosh! His battery went flat in the middle of the performances X.X He was in trouble X.X I sense it but there wasn't =] So it was a good news for him =] Mr Alex sang two songs =] It was probably the last journey with Sembawang for him =] After that went back to the hotel to take a rest =]
Quite crazy actually.. I was expecting a reflection tonight but there was not X.X It was postponed to the following day X.X ''It will be a very long reflection session tomorrow so better sleep well and tight tonight!'' I told myself =]
Apologise for the long term break I am having -.- I was in KL for the past six days =[ The air quality is terrible ! Coughing and felt like spitting the flams from my throat X.X Glad that I am finally back home =] Singapore, well civilised country and everything well within control =] Appreciate Singapore more than before =] Tourist will probably love Singapore a lot =] Except for one thing that is Singapore is very symmetrical. Meaning to say that everything you see on the left it will appear on your right =]
Will not be posting about my trip to KL as it was a little secrecy for it to be revealed =] I can tell some but not entirely =]
That's all. Seeing some of you this friday =] Looking forward to your presence =]
