Hi, it's me. Yupps, YH no doubt, the earlier one was an imposter! xD. Jus kiddin. Well, I allowed nicki to post on this blog as I don't post often. Yea, and please don't think too much into it. I just came back from Batam, which wasn't a very nice place btw. High prices, lots of smoke, polluted sea, closed down facilities. Yup, I think you get the point. To start with, the first thing I noticed when I came to Batam was a No smoking sign, and below was a policeman smoking. Talk about setting an example. We went to two temples, and after having lunch we went shopping. Then, we went to a hotel where the adults got a massage while we sit in this comfortable room watching HBO. I watched 13 going on to 30 or a show similar to that, starring Jennifer Garner, I think. I was quite a humorous show with some distraction from my cousins jumping around the armchairs. After that, we went to the hotel and my excited cousins were jumping and running about to look at the facilities. We saw a cybercafe and my cousins were so excited! There was SUPPOSED to be a theme pool that was damn big but I think they replaced it. There was also a fairway to play golf but we didn't go there. The sea was also very polltued and oily and I experienced that the next day when I was swimming in the sea and canoeing. Actually, it was a lagoon.
DINNERTIME! Yay!
We went to the seafood restaurant at the seaside, expecting a nice dinner. But when we got there, the waiters were like, "We are serving a tourist group, please come back two hours later." and we felt like WTF. We shuffled back to our hotel and went to the restaurant in there. The food were like $10 per set and my parents and uncle and aunt were all effed up by the extravagant prices but they still ordered. Try new stuff, they say. While we waited My cousins dragged me to go ask about the price of the internet cafe as well as a place we saw but didn't find, a Play Station. (Not that stupid console.)
The Play Station was under renovation, and the price per hour for the cyber was $5, and subsequently $2 hours each. We got even more effed up when we heard that. That's daylight (I mean nighttime) robbery! At least the canoeing price were cheap, $4 per hour (or my parents got cheated in Langkawi, there was $7 for half hour)
I watched Everton vs Liverpool at night, which was one of the nicest match I'd ever watched, other than the Champions League Final 2004, Liverpool vs AC Milan. The last goal was very comical and Reina should go pursue an acting carrer when he retires from football. We wanted to wait for WWE but we dozed off before 11pm. The next day was our revenge as we gobbled up as much food as we could take during our free breakfast. Yes, I know I am cheap. Everyone's cheap to a certain extent. Kiasu-ness is very Singaporean.
Ok enuff about Batam. Today the first thing taht happened to me was being punished by the S.o.a.B (I'm sorry but it really pisses me off) PE teacher for talking during assembly. It's like I only ask one question, "Is Peter gonna receive the AMPOS award, and he called me down. Other people were talking non-stop throughout the whole assembly and he donch even care. So I have the honour of the first person punished by the PE teacher this term. I've finally done my art homework, a sketch of the clock tower. It isn't anything great, but I took 4 hours, so it was good effort, I think. Today was quite a bad day for me as I got 2 B3s, 1 A2 and 1 A1 for the tests and assignments given out. Hope I get exempted from at least two exams!
I know you don't care about reading posts and only bother to tag... Yupps, but I still write for fun. Damn those book reviews... I love ACE!!!
Me.
