I noe it's been weeks since i last updated!! Been kinda busy and got caught up with attachment and work i guess.. But i'm BACK! : ) Haha..
And oh, bout e Batam trip.. It was really fun & enlightening.. simply put -> WoNDeRfUL!! I would'nt haf missed it for e world and i'm soo so super glad i made e right choice to go on the overseas ITP! e resort was amazing.. beyond wad i expected.. and resort food there was actually yummy! I'll never forget e 3rd night's dinner where we walked along a path which was in TOTAL darkness to get to e nearby resort's restaurant.. Was kinda creepy and all but when we saw wad was prepared for us.. oh man.. Picture this- Six beautifully set small round tables with long white tablecloth placed on this wooden platform just above the shore.. there's this soothing music playing nearby and when seated at the table, u get a full view of the many yachts anchored just a few metres away and can't help but admire e bright lights, reflected off from the water's surface.. Even when u close ur eyes, e gentle sea breeze and constant rythm of e small waves reach ur senses and give u a calming effect. Topping it all off was the awesome star-littered sky.. e kind where u'll take forever to count e number of stars in it.. I'm not exaggerating.. It was like some honeymoon setting or smth! Haha. But kinda inappropriate cause u were like wif ur lectures and all! But hey, i'm not complaining! It was awesome & I'd like to go there again, but e next time, it'll be wif my special someone.. =)
Omgosh i sound so absorbed in e atmosphere and accommodation in Batam that i'm forgetting the most important area of it all.. The Batam kids!! =) Hehe.. they're like so open and friendly.. Even with their humble backgrounds, life seems so carefree and they're always happy and cheerful.. Even when i was small i dun remember being that happy.. Maybe cause we were made to study so much in sch.. Haha.. It was interesting meeting all e different kids from diff age groups, some were really shy and din get wad u were saying cause maybe we talked funnily in Bahasa Indonesia. (Ya we were taught on how to use e language before e trip) But it went rather smoothly.. Damn tiring after e long day though!! So we relaxed by going swimming..walking along e beach..unwinding b4 dinner.. we even played paintball on e last evening and i bloodied my nose cause got shot in e face! Haha. Okay it's not funny.. And i do not want to play paintball again for a long time.. =P
Okay to end it all off bout e trip.. i'll get to e highlight of it which was getting to noe my classmates from both my class & sister class better as well as my lecturers and seniors.. And getting to hang out more wif my 2 totally superb roomates and pals Yanah[e mother"] n Ginette[e one wif e recognisable laughter].. Haha.. Wad can i say, they all really added to e fun element of e trip! =) 5 weeks down and 1 more to go before school re-opens!! I'm dreading it!! = Miss e girls though!!Here are some of e picts taken there.. Some are soo postcard worthy, taken courtesy of Xiang Yun! =)
