had fun…
hmmm i’ll update the rest tmr. haha it’s always a habit now, have time to do the entry but always leave it till later.
ehhhh why u so paiseh must remove that meh? zzzz.
_____________________________________________________________
anyway before the trip began, there always is the frantic rushing of packing and stuff. mum even bought travel insurance for me. brainbattling the night before…this is the time where i’ve started to lose my interest in Pets. argh! fighting the same idiots all the time would bore me to death (ants and spiders only, the scorps and mantises are just ridiculous)!
then the next day…went earlier to vivocity to meet byron first, since he finished early. then at starbucks chiling and talking…then w8in for sheung yan to reach as well. turns out that the exam venue is so run down, he thought he was going to do an oral exam in front of ppl. looks like a prison.
when we reached, the first thing i saw is the 2 moneychangers. wow they’re more enthusiastic than we can ever be. one pointing to 6050, the other to 6055. they had some fun playing with them, which is kinda funny in retrospect.
then dinner, which definitely took its time. thank god for playing cards. my mee goreng looks like maggi mee, and heard the chicken is gd. the food is definitely very very rich in taste. VERY. then we tried out the racing game. wa, i could get to like this.
oh, we were playing naruto then. i had no idea on what to do, lost abt every game. hee.
the racing one was gd…and i do see how fun (ironically) it is to race in classical music mode. i’m also starting to get more interested in cars…influence, influence…
the next day….they didnt sleep well the night before, while byron said i slept well. since they alr decided to share the bed, better not make it look malu. just diam diam and sleep on the other bed. would’ve shared with byron, since sheung yan is sick n needs all the comfy rest he can get. more than we do, at least.
so back to the next day thing, we were looking for a taxi to take us ard. boy, did we get fleeced. lucky the uncle staying then too had enlightened us on some matters. so we spent the whole day looking around nagoya hill and batam centre mega mall. jc donuts….apparently one of the best donut shops, from what i hear.
oh ya. bumper cars.
that didnt show me with my injury, 2 bruises and a cut lip. haha i floored the accel while pickin up the marbles. how jack is that.
the batam centre mall proved to be more disappointing, nothing really interesting to look at. only a bigger arcade, but i have bugis junction for that.
oh i tried out the dance machine too. turns out i can’t really dance to their music. and my loooose pants weren’t making matters any better.
very dunce-like. i looked like a fool.
so anyway, that was it for day 2. we went back with a new game (winning eleven, did i get the time right? i always lose sense of it. plz tell me if i got it wrong.) and started. hehehe, with xbox experience, i had fun doing those rough tackles. haha. kinda reminds me of the times when i lost becoz of too many players sent off the field to the sin bin.
soo….day 3.
woke up later than usual (we wanted an early alarm but i woke up before the alarm started the first day, must’ve been the getting used to sijori), sheung yan couldn’t sleep so he played winning eleven. i was like at the foot of my bed watching the from the face down turned, then fell asleep watching. awoke later, and curled to the right side to sleep. woke up again, he was still awake, just sitting in front of my bed, with the volume on mute. should’ve snapped that scene. looks kinda …. in a way.
the pic we took by the pool…and with many others, only i’m not putting them up becuz they take too much time. perhaps another time. =D
and then we went go karting. we got a cabbie, herman. kinda nice guy. however, towards the later part of the day he begins to show his more calculative side, but i don’t think the worse of him for it. i mean, yeah we’re tourists, which means we’re walking “fleece me” labels.
would’ve gone parasailing too, only it is very ex. and i don’t like being in the air unless it’s really me wanting to or it’s safe enough. so we went up on a spdboat. this is the only point of the trip where i went mad with camwhoring. haha. hey, i think my affliction for the lens has really toned down with u guys lor.
so anyway, we went on a spdboat!
after that we walked up into harris resort and bowled.
byron was the best, haha i don’t believe it’s luck. he did say he played well in sec 4.
edit: ok he says he just played in sec 4, not played well.
and look at me here. i look like a muscle spasm.
how ’un-glam’ is that. very.
i’ll put up more bowling pics here, once i get my fone.
OK blogging break stopped at noon (exact, 30 sept)
will be back by the night.
_____________________________________________
ok, back on.
oh, before we went back to bumper car-ing again, we went to lucky plaza of nagoya and tried out the arcade there. we tried out the para-para-machine. well, obviously i had to do it first (i was asked to do so anyway, no choice =\) before i could get the rest to do. Sheung Yan did it next, hahahahahahahahahahahaha. then Byron. he was having a good time with the arrows.
i wonder why he always runs into me when we agreed that day to bump sheung yan instead.
and then we had SEAfood. at bengkong.
this is the highlight of the dinner. byron taking a bet. look at what he’s wearing. we bought it at quite a gd price. he did, i mean. we just found it.
ok so that was the last night in batam!
so the next day, we spent it all in the resort.
first things first, golf! oh we woke up late. much later than usual.
we never got past the 100 yard mark, got within there but never more than it.
then archery!
this pic came from my fone, which is too big so i resized it. hmmm too much resizing.
oh byron pwned at archery. like i said, he’s gd with arrowing. =O
and then the swim, which i joined only at the stop of the rain. for gd reason. believe me.
and then the trip ended!
hmm. ok maybe this segment of the trip sounds more bland, must be becuz i’m not really in the mood to blog much. tmr’s the exam release. i’m gonna fill’erup with more detail after tmr. i hope.
This is not the best time to schedule any activity that calls for tact, diplomacy, or caution, as you are inclined to be extremely straightforward, direct, and to the point in all of your interactions. You say exactly what you think, and in fact are inclined to be verbally aggressive, pushy, or perhaps sarcastic. Your mind is very sharp now, so this is a good time to ‘attack’ intellectual or mental work.
