back from indon
Me back home… happy! After 18 days stuck in an island far from home, was glad to be back home. Indon was fun. We had a ball. We were treated like VIPs, like as if we some daym big shots like that. We were surprised! Our aim was actually to help in the extension of the poly library over there. But upon arrival it seem more like tiling work. Our eitenary was planned by the indons. We only worked for 3 mornings in the library, the rest was more like play soccer, basketball, table tennis & badminton, then touring different places. Go here and there.
The bus ride are all like 8, 9, 10 hours. By that time my butt flat ready. Some more the bus there is not like the one in spore now, its like the one in spore 50 years ago. Most of our meals are like bbq fish and sotong. I hv never had been on a more stricter fish diet then this. Ha. Fish was something we did often too. At the sea, in a pond and in the rice field. We caught the fishes in the rice field with our bare hands. It was terribly fun.
We also went to a funeral. A 100 year old guy died. It was a very traditional funeral. Buffalos and pigs were slaughtered. It was very interesting. We also met the governor of the city. It was made like a big thing. Like my my my. Superstars. But when u look at it from their point of view u understand. “ wah there ppl all the way from Singapore come here to visit is, this small town.” So there u go, the reason for the VIP treatment. Many of us were attached with the students over there. Lip even got a GF there haha.
We stayed in a fishing village also. That was a new experience for many. To move back into simple lifestyle were material things don’t dominate our lives.
Shopping was great. Most things were cheap. Like shoes, I love shoes shoes shoes. I intend to me the next Imelda Marcos. Haha. ppl over there are really friendly. They made us feel at home. We went to 3 homes. I was thinking. In sg, would any lecturer invite 20+ ppl to his hus for dinner. We are like just visiting only, only some poly students.
But one sad thing happen while I was in indon. I got a call from a fren in England. She said one of me best mate was in a accident and was in hospital. I was very very sadden. And then the worst happen. 2 days later just b4 I went to bed, she ran me to tell me something I never wanted to hear or even thought I would hear. He died. Me best mate was killed. I was so devastated. Some road bully started chasing him, his car veered of the road and crashed. I never thought I could hear such a thing. Haiz. I really miss him.
Now back home, I seem to be suffering from food poisoning. B4 I left to indo I had the same, now I return and once again it hits me. Was thinking of joining vann & irving to vivo, but I rather rest at home. Recover and get back to spore lifestyle 1st. still got a month of hols left, got to do something productive.
