a walk in my stilettos

that means day 1 in bahasa indonesian :)

everyone likes the shirt right! no you’re only allowed to say yes muahahahahhaha.

ok anyway, we touched down and i was feeling very very overwhelmed with emotions. who won’t leh! i mean, if you fought your way through emotional, financial and mental barriers and when you step on the grounds, it feels especially realistic :)

okay, let’s zip to the hotel! wooo i’m telling you we (meaning me and roomie elaine High School Joker <– go figure) totally love the hotel’s toilet in shanghai okay! the acoustic rocks to this limit that we kept singing and singing inside the shower with all our favourite songs until we got a little tired then did we start going on MSN and our own time. it was really very fun! hee. i kinda miss the times already. dig out and reminisce for a bit after very long, quite a bit of flavour! :)

then, we went out for dinner at this very local thai restaurant. very nice ambience, i like! okay some very unpleasant incidents between a very selfish person and us, but yeah, we are nice ok! we didnt fight or whatever, after thinking twice since we were, afterall representatives of another country’s school. civics! but i sure hope that person does some self-reflection- we are kids leh! ok not saying that kids have any piority but.. shan’t elaborate.

but the dinner was nice! i kinda like the way they serve us. makes us feel like really at home :) i especially like the way they doll up the place too! gilbert was really really cute, we all thought when he said he wanted fruits he would buy like, 1 or 2 apples in case he gets hungry through the night.. but he went out to buy like 1 plastic bag full of fruits! imagine a.. ntuc white shopping bag! it was ultra funny.. btw, gilbert is a sembawang primary school kid who’s with us on the trip :) i think i didn’t mention this! we had like 10 sembawang kids with on the trip :) it was kinda fun knowing them. you know, they are so young and innocent, they dont think the way woodlanders do! although we are more of fun in any sense :P

by the way, leonard (i like to call him mario though!) from OUR GROUP was really very nice and sweet! he was sitting at the same table with our malay girls and he was like teaching them how to use chopsticks to eat! so sweet right!

after a hearty meal with lots of jokes and all, we were set for back to our hotel and a good sleep for the next day :) had a very brief debrief and after the rest were sent back to their rooms, a representative from each room went out with mr tan to get some snacks from kedi. that is if they want. kedi is somewhat like 7-eleven in singapore, it’s a convenience store chain over in china; you can find it almost everywhere :)

day 2? wake up at 6am first!
