Batam

Everytime i try to write about the Batam trip, i end up deleting everything. You see, the reason why i do this is because the trip was just so awesome. I don't think i've ever missed a place and the company i had then, do much before upon returning home. Sure it's good to be home but at the same time, but it's awful having to leave behind what i enjoyed so much. Mannnn, so much happened in those four short days. It keeps coming back as a shock, how those four days that i looked forward to so much even way before promos started, are over. 

I'll tell you that 

the room i shared with Sab, Fel and Heidi was the biggest and nicest of the rooms that our class got, 

that we had an awesome time calling and hanging up on people with the phone beside my bed, that we scared each other because of the time difference between Singapore and Batam time,

that it was funny watching Hazel and Jo doing their forfeits for losing at some game,

that the kids were the sweetest things ever,

that it was fun teaching them,

that they made us cry when they did their reflections and when we had to leave them,

that farming was hardwork,

that through that hardwork we put in, we achieved so much and gave us a great sense of satisfaction upon seeing it completed,

that we were fed well,

that we were almost always exhausted when we got back to our rooms,

that every shower we took seemed like heaven to us,

that the stupid things like Xiu's mistaken phone call to the operator and Pat's caressing of his own thigh made us laugh till our stomachs hurt,

that Xiu's conversation with us was moving,

that trying to stay awake throughout the whole night on the last night was a complete failure,

that poor Jacq fell sick on the last day and some of the class took shifts to look after her during the course of the night,

that we had funny claps for everyone,

that shopping was cheap and fun,

that we got our nails done for $2 and then ruined them because we were just too rough

 in less than an hour,

that the company was just the best.

I'll tell you all that. But if you were never there with us or part of us, you'll never truly know how great it was.
