Hi Earthlings (: i'm back from my holiday trip with Dd & his family. Feels really good to be home and thought i could just give my 6 days trip a summary post (hopefully). HAHA.
Day 1
It was our first time here in Indonesia so CULTURE SHOCK as well as their way of living. We hop on our hired vehicle together with dd parents' friend (we call her the "radio aunty" since she can talk non-stop for the whole day, SERIOUS.) and never did we expect how it will be like on the road. Dam, it felt like a Roller Coaster for us. We hear car/motor horns every few minutes, vehicles cutting lanes, suddenly turns. kids strolling across the busy traffic, Beggars walking to towards cars during jams/waits to ask for money. I mean..these are really uncommon sights in Singapore isn't it?
We stopped by a seafood restaurant to have our lunch. *yumss* Dd & I was dam alert and on guard the whole day, we were afraid that we will get targeted as a theft victim since locals themselves admit that it isn't safe as well.
First day was really boring and we didn't have any freedom of choice on where we can go but thankful that Dd & I have each other we can complain to. HAHA.
ohh & we slpt at radio aunty's house and we actually bathe using well water (no heater), and due to limited space, Dd & I end up slping on the floor, sharing 1 pillow tgther. haha.
*End of Day 1*
Day 2
Woke up with lots of mosquito bites, you wouldn't want to imagine. anw.. we went to the beach today and seriously, it is just seawater and sand, not much like Singapore. Lucky for me, it was bearable since i love the sound of sea and the cool breeze but Dd and his parents felt really boreddd. But we didn't have much choice since radio aunty was taking lead of the whole day. Worst still, we were told to book the 'huts' for her sister till they arrive. so yeah, we practically rotted there for quite a few hours. Drank coconut juice fresh from the shell.. NICEEE:D hee.
When we went back to radio aunty house that night, Dd & I chatted and we talked about how we can enjoy this trip better instead of being so grumpy and whiny:x
Day 3
Today was slightly better, well at least for me (: Woke up @ 4am. Radio aunty was being really radio-y. As expected she talked through the whole journey to Lake Toba when we all needed our morning rest in the car. Upon arrival, we had a boat ride across the big big lake. When the boat stopped at one of the spot in the river, we see a few sampan with children in it. Whats shocking is that, people from the boat start throwing money down into the river and the kids jumped off the sampan to fight for it. I don't really understand the smiles on the passengers' face as they threw the money down. But i know i was hurting deep inside when i witness these scene. I could still rmb the look on the faces of these kids.. I wished they could have had more, i wondered if thats what they do for a living as a kid...
On our final round across the river, Dd & I bought maggie mee from a young lil girl who was selling it to the passengers. I reflected and asked myself what was i doing at their age.. Well, watching Hi 5 i guess. um:/
The driver came to fetch us in the evening and drove us home. Through the way, he got caught in a jam and was diverted by the traffic police to take another route. Unfortunately that route seems to be foreign and longer than actual one, the sky went dark at around 7pm and since there isn't much lamp lights by the street. the village looks really creepy. Dd & I hugged each other through the journey as we are so afraid that we might get lost since the driver isn't sure where that route was leading us to as well. After 3 hours, we managed to see light and arrive home before midnight.
Day 4
Things were getting better and Dd got to purchase 1 jeans, 2 nice shirts & 1 pair of shoes @only S$32! (: *Imagine his happy face* Whereas for me i didn't managed to get any by the roadside stores since it's all guy's apparels. Wanted to get for my brother but there isn't his size:/ MEH. Before that we went to a shopping mall and i got myself a long sleeve hoodie:D yayy. it was at a good deal too. well, considered i guess^^
Stopped by a roadside stall to eat durian and i swear Indonesia is the first country where i get to throw the seed anywhr in the grass. So Dd and I compete to see who can throw the furthest. HAHAH T_T
Radio aunty then bought us to one of her relative house and over there, we managed to have one of the best meals within these 4 days as we have been consuming roadside food since the day we arrived in Medan. It was yummy but the hygiene is kinda...yeah, with lots of houseflies flying around. After dinner, Dd & I then stroll down t a nearby mama shop set up by one of the villagers there and bought a bagful of sweets at only S$1++! Good deal:D hahaha.
Day 5
Another day where we woke up at 4am! Went to MA-DA-SAN today. BURRR. *cold morning* Was expecting lots of things to play with but sadly no.:x but i must really admit that the scenery there was WOOOW. very relaxing and beautiful ^^
Also, at least we got to experience plucking of orange from a villager's garden. and we ate on the spot. HEHE. Not only that Dd & I got to experience horse riding for the first time!! i was so nervous but thankful that the horse is really tame. Can you believe they walk the horse not in a grassland but on the road! OMO. hahaha.
Day 6
Due to our determination to shop, we managed to obtain freedom 90% of the day at our own risk. So they dropped Dd& I at a shopping mall however the prices was alil.....marked up. Maybe it was meant to suck tourist money. LOL. So we walked around and was attracted by a kiddy play. HEHE. We end up spending our time doing sand art ^^ HEE. funn with Dd! the staff was really friendly despite our communication barrier.
After which we stop by the roadside stalls and Dd bought another pair of shoes, 2 caps , 1 belt and 1 shirt. besttt:D hahaha. All good deals! Whereas fpr me i got 3 pieces of casual clothing and 1 pair of shoes ^_^ Contented much.
That pretty much sums up our 6 days trip in Medan. Really appreciate the help of radio aunty though i must admit i found her quite annoying at the start but through the way i learn to appreciate her efforts and was touched by the waay villagers communicate with one another. It doesn't matter if you're someone new to them, they treat you with a warm welcome. The trip was fine overall (:

Remember the interview i mentioned earlier on and how low my chances are because i couldn't attend one of the compulsory training?
BUT can you believe it!! i was selected& what's more amazing is that they've changed the particular training date and i could attend all the sessions nooow!:D AHHHHHHHH(: happy me. HEE. Shared this news with Dd, Dajie and mummy(:
its funny how happy i get when it is a voluntary organization i'm getting into and nt a company. No salary, nothing. Just volunteering but i'm so happy. haha.
Can't wait for the training this weekend. it's going to be tiring but it's going to be worth it. jiayooous(:

It's my very first time going for an interview to obtain a role not in a company but voluntary organization. haha. &I would say i've received the greatest encouragement when Dd wakes up in the morning to accompany me to the interview. I know he's tired cus its pretty obvious. Normally he will complain about how tired he is but not today. He was the one who woke me up immediately when the alarm rang (normally it's the other way round) and my interview was the first thing in his mind. He can really tell how important this interview is to me. *touched* I was greeted by his smile and 'good luck' when i woke up. what a lovely morning i had(:

| i love my boyfriend (: |
We travelled down to hpb tgther and i had my interview there. it was quite cool as i was given a case study to answer on the spot before going into the interview room. haha. Hopefully they will select me tho my chances may not low since i could not complete their compulsory training:/ It will really be a miracle if i get selected. Still, i'm hoping to hear from them soon!
After that, we went tooo the health exhibition and it was loads of fun with my darling boyfeee:D
LOVEEES(:

Something to look forward at work everyday, i get to talk t them, make coffee, complain to. goshhhh. can't believe i wouldnt be seeing them anymore. Hopefully we'll still keep in touch and this friendship will still go on because they are really great(: Thankful to have them in my life! esp Lin Qing, i remember when we started hanging out during our lunch time, we share with each other our unhappiness while having our gong cha session. We encourage one another when we're tired at work etc. Its all this lil things which makes me so she bu de:x Did cards for both of them, hopefully they wouldn't forget me:x heh. (:
i really wish the best for them and hope they succeed in whatever they do!(:
