Malaysia LJ second day~

POSTED BY SAMANTHA~

2nd Day

No pictures, cause I'm too lazy to upload, but briefly what we did on 2nd day of the M'sia LJ(:

Woke up at 7.30 for me Esabel and Charmian, then headed to breakfast at round 8. The rest were coming up by then, cause they woke at 7. So i have to admit we were a bunch of sleepy heads.

After the breakfast(includes cereal, hot dogs, scrambled eggs and half boiled eggs), we sat on the bus for approx. 15 minutes till we reached Kampong Pelegong. (; We had to get down at one village and then walk all the way to the Kampong itself. Unfortunately, we had to take the long way round, which Mr Chai and some people thought we were lost...

Anyway, we saw cow dung on the way there, therefore I can CONCLUDE that cows are about. And predictably we saw a lot of cows right up in front.

Ok after that, we trekked all the way to the waterfall, where some people took a dip in the pool. Then we walked back after about 30-50 minutes.

After that we continued with out activities. We played the malay musical instrument, and then did inter-class games with one other class(im not sure). We had coconut bowling, and the stick thingy that 4 people had to walk on. As in walk with it together. We had loads of fun. :D

After all this was lunch. Was yummy, rice, veggie and curry chicken(?). After that many people went to play on the swing at the playground. And Zhi Yi and Kapeela set up business on the $10 crazy ride machine thing. We slacked for about 3 hours, as an activity to trek somewhere else was cancelled. Many went into the air-conditioned room, but had to stay quiet, so they went in there to listen to music or just to simply enjoy air-con. After that we had dinner.

After everything, we went back to out hotel. Before lights-out, many were party-ing as it was the last night we were going to have at that hotel. Then we slept.

yeah, thats about it, and the next day is not my story to tell. (: Pictures next time!!! ;D

Byebye. SAMx-

DAY 3 (:

Reflections for day 3.

Breakfast at the hotel was fantastic. It consisted of highly delectable food and was quickly snapped up.

Then we went to a local shop to buys things back for our parents and relatives. There were special cookies and tea sold as a local product. Even though the prices were abit higher than expected but we thought that it was worth it as it was for our parents.

After that, we went to a local shopping mall named JUSCO and shopped there for about 3 hours.

Spending 3 hours in the malaysia shopping centre, I discovered the pros and cons of the shopping centre. Th pros? They had immaculate service there, friendly staffs with genuine smiles and they do not hover. In this way, we felt alot more comfortable shopping for stuff and had a plesant time there. However, there were a lack of signs in the centre and there was quite a number of dead ends, for tourists like us, we wasted quite alot of time finding our way around. There was also a lack of variety and liveliness in the mall which usually creates a vibrasnt atmosphere which is apparent in many prestigious shopping malls. The products in the mall were also cheaper compared to Singapore but there was hardly anything that could attract us, as there was a lack of variety to choose from and it was rare to find trendy things. Thus, most of us went back empty handed. Yet, this did not dampen our lively sprits. Thought we enjoyed this learning journey, we were slightly disappointed by the lack o shopping materials. Good retail therapy results from abundant variety, and there was a lack of that in the mall. Other than that, the time spent shopping with fun shopping partners and friends was hardly boring. It was brilliant, fantastic and awesome. (:

Here are some pictures:
