Hello one and all! hope you guys still doing fine. I think this post is going to be quite long. haha. cos i'm going to share what all of us did when we were in Indonesia. (And yes, everyone's missing the people still)
Well basically most of you would have known that Karimun Island is the hot island where Singaporean men normally go and find those ______ people. Yah. haha. So we took a ferry which was about 1 and a half hr? A bit shaky. but really cool when we went up to the top to see the seaview. ((:
On our way to the so-called bus stop, there were MANY men along the jetty there. whoa. i tell you ah. it's really quite siao. AND because our trip polo teees have our beautiful names on it. They took advantage of it and called our names. rawr. I didnt notice at first until i heard smth "jia hweee~~ x2" then suddenly "wai sooom~" when jiahui was like bhind me?! rawr. and they called our names like 3 times in a row can?! aherm. apparently they pronounce the alphabet "u" as "oo. So instead of wai SUM they pronounced wai sOOm. rawrrrr. that's pretty interesting. i didnt dare to look up seriously. cos i tried once. and they looked at us with funny stares. one men even said smth like "blah blah come to my place tonight!" 0.0 yah that's how scary it is (:
well oh well. thank God it lasted for a few minutes. after that we took a bus (a cool one) to our hotel! (: Hotel Padi Mas.

opposite hotel is the largest departmental store. Yup. cool eh. We'll go there and stock up on cheap biscuits snacks and drinks after we come back frm our work. (:
Thanks to Mr Ho's recommendation, we were very influenced and ate club sandwich as and when we like. muahaha. basically club sandwich itself consists of 3 layers of bread, cabbage, juicy tomatoes, mayo and cheeeeese. ohoh not forgetting fries and erh nice coleslaw :D
For our trip, we have to go to 2 worksites. hehe. secondary and primary. for secondary, we had to take another boatride to their island. whoa so it was like island after a island =/ i was being "posted" there. (: with jiahui. lolz. took motorbike there for the first time. man i hope my bf doesnt ride a bike. cos it's scccaarrrrryyyyyyy, but fun lah. the people there were very friendly (: the children would get very excited as tho they picked up some kg of gold when u wave back to them. how sweet. we did painting(the entire wall of the lib and mural painting) and some sawing of wood for the bkshelf. and lemme tell you, painting is nv easy (:
i painted this prawn! (: but the drawing obviously wasnt done by me (:
Every night, we'll go "club" and parteee at room 3327 =p woohoo. there we ate, watch teevee and dance. haha! girls only btw. until nights out time. lolx. srry cant share vid cos a bit censored. HAHA, we were reaaaaaallllly crazy (:
introducing ppl frm club 27! (btw, that was jiahui's legs - in blue trackpants. not mine. HAHA)
Air in S'pore's definitely much cleaner and fresher. The ppl there smoked like nobody's business? cos according to Suriyanti our exped leader, the cigarettes are uber cheap. something like 10 pkts there = 1 pkt here. mmmm. they even smoke in the hotel. bleah.
Saturday is a "beware" night for all girls. Cos this is the day where men will go find the women. lolz. so mus be careful and walk around in 2's or more! (: Jiahui and I were soooo scared okay. cos there were 2 men squatting outside the corridor for dunno what reason and they were there for a long time ): rawr.
Pri sch there also quite cool. built walls and cement stuff :D more interaction with the kids definitely. haha!
nv look down on them because their principal asked some to volunteer and help us CARRY BRICKS and transport SAND. (uber heavy i tell you) and they're jus pri 6?! their principal helped out too. mmm. really nice.
when i was cementing the walls, groups of girls and some boys would crowd around me. haha. cos i dunno how to speak their lang. i felt bad. cos i didnt noe how to engage them. all i knew was "kamu nyani" -> you sing. LOL. okay this is bad Malay. but erm. at least they sang songs like "twinkle" "i'm a lil teapot" to me. ((: i taught them english too!
on the last day, the children performed for us. Sang to the tune "auld lang syne" but in their language. they cried. we cried. it was a touching moment. ((: i'm sure none of us want to leave, but we have to. sobs. so we gave out sweets to them, and they in turn gave us letters or biscuits etc. how sweeeet.
that's about it. sorry it's a bit long. bleah. but we're def gg back next yr after A's to see how they're doing. ((((((((((((((:
