haha its been postponed 9days alr, but still i wanna hao-lian abit about my indo trip. =)
Couldnt clearly rmb everything coz i think i spent 1/3 of the time sleeping on the bus. The tour guide wasnt that interactive but still okay i guess, can see that he tried. He got a cool name, thou i couldnt hear properly. Was it zoul or zule or zoo?
ah but he's a facebook geek too. saw him fbing on his blackberry. =O
well if u want u can follow the pics on fb. not really that useful.
day 1 was kinda average. Flight got delayed coz there were so many planes jammed up at the runway. Got a shock when i peered out of the oval window. Like queuing up for toto liddat. Yea eventually we flew and reached there quite fast.
Then it was the boring bus rides again. you can safely assumed that between every paragraphs, there's an hour of bus ride. or more.
until we get to the safari. =)
Was pretty impressed by the massive safari. But at the same time kinda sad too. Its huge and well planned. Just lacked the design and marketing, which makes the place look dull. Plus the tour guide who talked less than i did. But we bought lots of carrot to feed the animals! Mainly my dear lil cousins. Scroll through the pics and u can see the diff animals. Deers elephants deers bears camels hippos deers deers zebras leopards deers giraffe lions tigers deers owls monkeys deers and more deers. Yes i think deers breed faster than rabbits can. They're like swarming everywhere. but we saw some funny scenes like a tiger shitting and ahmeng behaving like a clown.
Went to some tea plantation for a cup of tea and view the scenery. At night. Where everything's dark. Haha view what scenery and drink what tea. Kinda wasted. =/
Went to a small resort for the night. Which gave us alot of probs too, like leaking taps and faulty toilet bowls and spoilt telephone system. Sommore the lightings werent that bright and adds a gloomy feel to the seemingly shabby building. So yea during dinner we kinda kicked up a fuss to the boss who really looked quite kelian kena bombarded by the 3 families.
oh yea. i din really intro the ppl ard.
there's my fam of coz. 4 of us. Then got my uncle's fam, my aunt and my cuz. Thats 8 of them. And also a fam from msia. Which is sooo coincidental coz their youngest girl was from nj too, sec1. Spotted my crew jacket and was so happy that she met someone so qiao. hahaha =)
day 2 was not bad. Woke up to find that the scenery was in fact quite beautiful. And they had a fitness corner which has imported your familiar fitness gadgets found in HDBs. Haha then it was shopping and shopping in many factory outlets! Lunched at some tradditional indo restaurant, then cont shopping =) Stopped by some place to catch an angklung performance, which was really cool. They got lil kids to play angklung and dance and wayang here and there. They passed us each an angklung too (ok, borrowed would sound more appropriate) to play tgt with them. Quite nice! Like the whole audience is now like an orchestra. Had dinner at some random place which the food is like bleh.
Oh yea, the food is disappointing overall. I was hoping to eat some nice food but end up every meal taste the same. and boring. boo.
the lil girl fell ill too. must be the food. so we skipped a shopping mall and head back to our hotels. Haha my mum's like a walking pharmacy, spammed her with like 138726 diff kinds of meds la. but hey she was okay the next day xD
day 3 is pretty. Went up a volcano there and was awed by the scenery. and awed by the stench too. Had some nice fried beancurd, which reminded me of my late ah mah and ah gong's cooking. =/ Everyone just stood there and seek solace in the food for a moment. Snapped alot of pics and bought afew of souvenirs too. Hacked the price down to a third of the starting price! Shiok! Got this damn nice frog which is resting in jing's room now. and he's whining that its giving him the creeps. zzz
breath-
taking!Off to a mini kumpung which has lots of nice stuff to play! but no one wanted to take the flying fox with me =( i just want someone to walk with me back from the other end xD Some of them went to the strawberry farm and picked lots of nice strawberries! and hahaha something happened there which is highly memorable =p
Then we went to the hotsprings! Which were damn crowded la! Soaked my worn feet for quite some time. Oh and we saw a KFC lookalike, selling the same fried chicken and stuff too. Just that its called CFC instead. Ahahaha maybe they nvr study chem there xD Missed some live shooting thing coz we spent too much time soaking our feets.
went shopping and shopping again! bought a superman shirt for like 6-7 bucks. looks nice and bling. but alot of the factory outlets seem fake, must really select the better ones. oh and and, that day was my mum's bday!
What's a bday without a bday celebration? So like when dinner was finishing, the lights suddenly went off and boomz! Everyone happy-bday-ed my mum and made her so paiseh and happy. hahaha almost 50years old liao!
The other fam had to leave early in the morning. So it leaves us 12 ppl the morning free to go for sommore shopping! Really spent every cent of my half a million. Still had to borrow some from my dad ahaha. But still i din get enough gifts for everyone. So dont whine if u din receive any hor!
oh and we lunched at a chinese restaurant. I think chinese food still pawns indo food. And the meal cost like 1million bucks! omgwtfbbq! but heh, if u really convert, 1mil is not really alot of money. esp when its for a meal for 13ppl.
i swear i spent the next 4hours sitting on the bus. or 5. Coz when i woke up its dinner time already. I think i grew an affinity with that particular seat la. Everytime i tonged into that seat i just fall asleep within minutes. Had dinner at the endangered A&W fastfood rez. brings back really good memories la, i wonder why A&W went extinct in singapore. Such a nice name too. =)
The plane ride felt much better. Just that it was flooded with beijing ren who bring more baggage than 5times their weight. It was a transit flight, how lucky can i get. And they just stuff their baggage in any empty spaces, we had to shove theirs away to squeeze in ours. Lucky it wasnt as long as the bus ride, we quickly landed, got our baggage, bought our liqueur and quickly cabbed home. =)
oh and smth interesting. their toilet keeper earns more than what their singapore counterparts do. its 1000rp per entry, which is like 15cents. Singapore ones are merely 10cents, or mostly free. 50% more revenue. So yea, if u got no idea what job prospects u have, do give it a thought.
and i still got gifts for some of you. meet up soon yea! i only got less than 1 week more zzz

for a moment, i thot i wouldnt have any xmas countdown this year.
but yea! 4-4 simply rocks. had another of those u-cant-simply-forget kind of countdown. Which includes someone getting bitten by a dog, turning back the clock to countdown, someone losing another 40bucks at mj, incessant gaming throughout the night, 50pushups for picking the smallest card for 193862 times and of coz, teng and his triple 7 which owned mafei flat and woke the dog up which cheered for him too. Hahaha lucky i din gamble =)
and yet another 4-4 gathering too. bbq at zhian's house ytd was quite a success.
if u dun count the lack of a swimming pool, chalet facilities and the mini-lack of food, yea everything went well. damn long nvr see so many ppl tgt, really felt heartwarming. It was warmer too, after some nice vodka. thanks daryl! camwhored with the pro dslr. gonna get one someday.
ohohoh. there was the countdown to jing's bday too, on fri night. Haha nk
