十月的感覺(2)

這個月都廷忙的。在想著下個旅行可以去的地方。去一下五朵讀書的誠市吧

再去一下娥眉山

再去一下都江堰和青城山

去一下九寨沟

最後去一下黃龍

想想几時會去成都呢？大概會很久很久。但想一下，看一下照片和youtube，就好了吧

佳敏的生日要到了，但願她都開心

寫到這里

和自已說，一個人會會很開心的

十月的感想

九月二十五日 我生日当天是新加坡的烟雾最利害的时候(超过300点)，连我的母亲都没有作工。中小学都停课了(和2013年比较起来，最少政府比较有人情味了)。早上有去IMM 走了一下，吃了那里新开的素食，也好。刚好天伟有会裕廊东，就见面一下。他讲明年要开始读大学了，会很忙，出来outing的机会应该对非常的少。想想朋友们都去读书了，是否自已也要找东西读，反正近来都在学日语，可能明年头找一些日语课程上上，目地交些会讲日语的朋友吧。

生日很快又过了，收到了60多个greetings (多半是不熟的朋友发的)，意外的事，丽晶还送了自已一个bag，之后春敏也send了一个GREETING。和自已说，乐观的时候，还是会有快乐的理由。

十月天 近来，口吃非常利害。讲几句完整的话都讲不出来，慢慢有了害怕讲话的感觉。丽卿有说可能是生理的原故，说应该多喝水，少喝咖啡，少吃白饭，晚上不要吃太饱等等，平时要学会放松，问题会比较少一些。只能说谢谢她的建义，多喝白开水，真得会对□吃有些帮助。再不行的话，不重要的话就不讲了。

旅行方面，自已还在想。可能真的只要想一下，看一照片就可以了吧。这个月会想像去成都的感觉，(五朵读书的地方)，一方面自已提早庆祝JM的生日. 十一月份，就要汉忠表弟的建议，去关丹的林明山走走(两天一夜)。

和自已说，什麽都有开心的理由，有时间就多看书，等下个月烟雾散去的时候，要多学会去运动，

一个人也可以很开心

bintan trip (part 3)

Good time fly fast indeed , it’s the third day at the resort. I only manage to wake up around 0730 hours, didn’t make it in time to see the sun rise (none of my colleagues made it as well.

In the morning, I done some packing before going for breakfast. After that, few of my colleagues and myself went to play golf and archery. For archery, I was late in registering myself (and pay money), thus missing the chance to play the game. But then, the staff was very friendly and give me some spare arrow for me to shoot for free.

As for the golf, one of my colleagues bought 3 basket of balls to be played by all of us. Someone paid for it, but I do not know who he is. But probably he decides to play the host so I should thank him for it. The game is fun, but since I had never learn golf before, my few attempts never flew pass 50 meters. But then it is a good learning experience

Around 11am we went back to the chalet to pack up. By 12midday, we check out of the chalet and left for the harbor. There wasn’t any lunch provided, but I managed to buy myself an ice cream (40k). the cruise are set to leave at 1pm , but some technical issue occurs and the cruise took a u turn 15 minutes after departure , and we stayed stranded at bintan for another half an hour . Fortunately, the boat didn’t have major problems and restarted as soon as possible

We reached Singapore around 4pm (the boat is speeding very fast). It’s the end of the bintan trip. Looking backwards, I spent 206K (49+69+17+40+31(keep the change), leaving around 294k left. the question is , would I still visit bintan again. Probably not, I might still visit other parts of Indonesia but not bintan. Simple reasons might just be the food, as vegetarian wasn’t common there and probably not as clean. I would try to change the rest of the rupiah with my colleagues going on to the next trip

Looking forward, I should not be travelling (other than Malaysia) for the rest of the year. I hope I can save up a bit, no matter if I can visit japan next year or sometime in the further future. But then saving is always good.

Today is my birthday, happened that haze worsen here, I should celebrate with myself and my mum.

God bless all the time

一個人也要很開心

Trip to Bintan (part 2) 2015

In the morning, I managed to wake up around 515am to watch the sun rise. Around 4 colleagues also came along. The sun supposed to rise at 0550 hours, but sea moist (or haze?) has covered most of the sky, and we can only see the sun almost 15 minutes after it rises (no much luck this time)

After that, we went back chalet to take a rest before catching breakfast at 0830 hours. For breakfast, there were no specific indication on whether any food is of vegetarian origin, thus I could only eat plain porridge and some simple cake (better play safe), and after all eating cake can also be full.

After breakfast, there is a planned bonding activity at FOCUS. We took a bus there and spent most of the day there. The activities were very interesting, fun and challenging at times. Theory took up less those 5 minutes (1 slide only). For a note our boss, Mr. Patrick pop in to give us some encouragement

After lunch came the challenge of the day, the pyramid challenge. We are supposed to climb and overcome a 7th storey high of pyramid mainly made up of metal ropes. We need to overcome 10 obstacles, walking across ropes, climbing walls etc. By just looking from the bottom, it seems almost impossible to do it. with 20 pax joining this activities, 2 drop out (“Nai” and “Badong”) from the start, leaving 18 people in the challenge. later Alan drops out after climbing the first stairs and “Grace” back out after seeing people in front “suffering” (dropping to 16 people). Mr. goh, Mr. Ng (from workshop), Calvin, Woo, Benie and another guy (unknown) drop after the 4th obstacle.

For my part, I was pretty stretched after the first obstacles, and probably I would have also dropped out of the challenge after the 4th obstacle if not the encouragement from my colleagues. The height wasn’t too scary, but rather my hand was numb after a while. the next scary part is the “leap of faith” at obstacle 9. ha-ha, I jumped without thinking much, and in a spit second, t was thru. finally after almost 2 hours of hard work, I made it to the top with 9 of my colleagues (and enjoy the thrill of sliding down)

For the rest of the day, I was almost dead tired to be able to do much thing. I tried playing some beach balls but give up after a while. There was virtually no place where I could spend my rupiah to buy things. The only thing I can spent money is on drinks (where I bought some coconut juice (49K) and watermelon (69K)

At night, we went to the beach to see fireworks, and returned to chalet at 10pm. Finally, we ended the day by playing some cards. Since I found it difficult to spent the rupiah, I think is ok to lose some, and indeed I lost around 17K after 2 hours of playing

Should stop for now , Continue later

God bless all the time

BINTAN TOUR SEPT 15 PART 1

On the 18th of sept, I went to Bintan Island on a company trip. This is the second time of my lifetime that I manage to visit the neighboring country. In the morning, I went to office to catch the bus that fetches us to Tanah merah terminal. There are total of 20 people taking part in the trip (18 guys and 2 gals).

I managed to change a total of 50 sing dollars for 500K of Indonesian rupiah, thinking that I might have the chance to buy some local products. We waited at the terminal patiently until 0845 hours before boarding the cruise. The boat left around 9m and we reached bintan around 2 hours later. The local time was one hour behind Singapore (so the timing showed 1010am instead

We walked towards the main building, and waited for 15 minutes before chauffeured to our chalets. All of us has been split into 3 groups, and I was being allocated to chalet 2 ( with 6 guys )( Liping , pin hong , alan, jia jun, Chinthaka and pradeep ). I ended up sharing a double bed with Alan

As the chalet was pretty big, we were given a buggy (per chalet) to travel around. It was very interesting initially to drive the vehicle, but the interests gradually die down as the buggy was travelling relatively slow (and safe I supposed)

After lunch, we had our free time. There are various games to be played at the leisure center. I managed to play some table tennis and pool. There were also some Nintendo games in the aircon room for us to play. I played some boxing game with ah nai ( and end up sweating more in the aircon room .

In the evening , we went to the beach to play beach balls. The beach was relatively cleaner than the one’s I see at East Coast Park and the sand finer. We played beach balls for over an hour, my Indian colleagues played a much better game while I found relatively hard to touch the ball. In simple words, I probably good only serving balls and my hands ended up swollen after serving a few times. My colleague “grace” had enjoyed the game as well.

At night , I managed to do a short swim at the chalet swimming pool . It was the place that we had our dinner , and it was a BBQ. There were vegetarian meals but more than half of them contain garlic which makes it impossible for me to consume . I reflect to ah nai , but there’s nothing he could help . I end up eating some white rice and a plate of broccoli ( hope it’s clean enough)

Finally , I settle down to watch TV while some of my colleagues gamble on cards,. I didn’t play so I just sit around and see them play. I rested at around 1120am ( Indonesian local time) and it’s the end of the first day in bintan . I stop now and continue later

GOD bless
