Bintan Trip with the Class:
DAY 1:
Got onto the ferry and tried my best not to puke. Reached Bintan and I'm like... What da fuck? It looked like shit. (sorry Bintanians) Anyway we got onto our purple (sort of..) bus which was abit squeezy and stuff (but hey, who is complaining??) and went to "the biggest mall" (Ramayan?) in tanjung penang or whever the hell we were. Like, in singapore our biggest mall or nicest is probably ION or sth, but there their mall was like a cross breed between Giant and This Fashion. AND the stuff there weren't cheap. We went to the mall to look at the prices of stuff that we could buy for the kids. 10 minutes into enterning the mall my shoe broke but thankfully i could buy super glue.
So right, i go up to the dude working there and im like... "Hi... Do you sell super glue?"
And the dude is all "iurfjhneouvbrsomethinginmalay" with a face that clearly says hello girl, what the FUCK you talking about?
and im all... "GGGGLLLLLUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" in slow mo right. complete with action of showing him the flap in my shoe and pasting my hands together.
then hes all. "???"
and then the Mr kang (teacher in charge) goes up to him and says "where is the (in malay) glue (in english) then he understood"
i was like............................................................................................ Cb this guy trying to be cute or what.
Oh and their cheese wasnt refrigerated. Gross.
Later on we went to Comfort Hotel. The hotel is a palace compared to the rest of the place. I stayed with Judith and Twinkle. :D
Then i think we had lunch. The food was kind of crappy, but i wasnt expecting much anyway.
Later on we made our first visit to the orphanage.
It was kind of spastic. Because we just stood around, awkward and stuff.
But eventually we mingled with the kids and they are so cute.
We wore socks around the house and the kids ate some biscuits and stuff they got from a birthday party. So the floor was STICKY and our socks were black.
Oh and the kids also had kutu. So we were all fucking scared.
There was this kid who peed in his pants then happily came and sat down on me. I didnt really notice cos i just thought it was sweat. It was abit damp. I was mainly focused on keeping his head away from me cos his head was a kutufest. In the end alex was all "Uhm... sarah, thats the kid that peed in his pants" and I was like... OK KID, TIME TO GET UP!
Anyway after that we moved on to the second location where the bungalow is.
Our main purpose of going on the OCIP trip was to help the little orphans build an extension to their bungalow that is meant to hold 54 kiddos. However, due to the incompetent construction workers and whoever was meant to help us and all (im still not very clear on why we couldnt build the extension HAHAHA) We did NO building at all and so our goal was totally not accomplished.On the other hand, I guess it's a blessing in disguise because we got to spend alot of time with the orphans.
And then after that we went back to the hotel and bathed and ate dinner
We had beef rendang (and alot of stuff but the main point is beef rendang) for dinner and sat down for reflections. Then we learnt how to shape balloons. I'm the fucking balloon master now. I swear. I can make 2 kinds of swords, a really fugged up flower and a dog. like. WOWOWOWOWOW.
And I was scared of balloons popping before. so it's a mayyjah accomplishment.
DAY 2:
Woke up and went to the orphanage. Supposed to go for an hour only then head to do construction. But then we didnt due to unforeseen circumstances. Pris and gang left us at the orphanage to buy mattresses and fans for the kids. They kind of didnt tell us so we were stranded and wondering wtf was happening. But it was okay cos we played with the kids. Each of us showed major favouritism and had our favourite Kid that was our own. So i found mine. He was with chin seng and CS accidentally dropped him on the floor while playing (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA) so cs was baby-ing him and all "sorry lah" and the kid crawled on him and started thrashing around abit cos he was tired (he throws tantrums abit when hes sleepy) then he also pulled out cs's leg hair HAHAHA. but he was on chin seng and i was patting him then he went to sleep. SO CUTE.
Oh and we cleaned up the orphanage. Jud and I got down and dirty and roughed it out. We put the old mattressed that had turned black and had holes and 4 lizards outside for them to dispose later on.
We went out for dinner at a restaurant. Miss giam's treat. Ate seafood and then went to a night market for a while. Then we reflected in the conference room again and then we went to drink (after reflecting, dezz the way baby HAHA) at Chin seng's room. I was kind of just sleeping.... HAHAHA. There were 3 different groups in the room. One group playing taboo, the second playing idkwhatwithalexandalcohol and the third group also dont know doing what with pris and lionel (non-drinkers too).
Later on we played 007, damn spaz game.
Then we hit the club at 1am. Danced in our shirts, shorts and slippers while the other locals were in clubbing gear. MAJOR LOL. cs, chris and alex were damn high and they totally rocked the dancefloor it was fucking funny. this guy kept trying to dance with us so we formed a circle. THEN chris let him come into the circle AND let him have a solo dance (we all took turns)
HAHAHA. but no harm was done and it was fucking fun. when we came out it was like we ran 2.4km. Anyway. after bathing we watched Jurassic Park. I asked chris and alex to come over cos i was scared and twinkle was falling asleep and judith was ALREADY sleeping (as always)
The boys ended up staying over. Christopher scratched his balls beside me. Cb.
Oh i was at Chin seng's room with him and Kevin and twinkle for abit. It was fucking funny. There was a lizard in the room and the boys freaked out.
Kevin: "Eh..... Got lizard leh..."
CS: "Really ah?" sits down on a chair eating his food "Where?"
-lizard runs past CS-
CS: "EH CB!" -does retarded leg stomping thing-
-CS gets up and gets a plastic bag from kevin to catch the lizard
Kevin: "Eh.. you really going to catch ah?"
-CS goes near the lizard-
CS: "Eh, why you look at me like that, YOU CATCH LA!"
-CS looks at the lizard, totally NOT going to catch it-
CS: "Eh i scared.."
Kevin: "Actually... the lizard wont do us harm right?"
Cs: " No lah... Ok dont catch"
-few minutes later as we are about the leave the room-
I step out, the door closes. 2 minutes later the boys are still not out and im like wtf??
I knock on the door.
CS opens.
CS: "Kevin packing his things la, he scared later the lizard go in"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
DAY 3:
Went to buy stuff for the kids in the supermarket opposite our hotel. All we had to do was cross ONE road but the super sweet tour guide and driver took us via bus. HAHAHA. I bet everyone else thinks we're retarded and spoiled fucks. Which we are. I mean. SERIOUSLY? taking a bus is a joke. HAHAHA. I took a pic. Yall can see when i post it up.
We went back to the hotel and labelled everything with "CJC Sayang Kanak-kanak Al Fitrah" (CJC loves the children of Al Fitrah which is the orphanage)
We had to label them cos we suspect the owners at the orphanage are corrupted. Quite likely. Cos they have a shop there and they repackage the donations to sell, they receive boxes of cash donations and tons of food but the kids ate rice with sauce and a hard boiled egg, they have a ROOM FILLED with nice food that has alot of locks.
We also made goodie bags for the kids.
Went back to the orphanage. This time I spent alot of time with my kid. (Me & Chin Seng's)
I asked CS to name him so he named him Daniel. Later on i thought Kiko suited him better. So he became kiko. He's fucking cute. i mean. OMG. soooooo super cute.
He was trying to fit all the balls into his pouch and he couldnt and got so frustrated he was like frowning and all. HAHAHA. then Kevin was passing him his balls but kevin like spaced out and didnt give Kiko the balls fast enough so Kiko took his spade and hit kevin. HAHAHAHA. then later on I said "Sayang" to kiko and touched his arm and he pinched me. HAHA. damn funny. Oh and he looked into nadia's eyes for damn long then hit her with his spade too. HAHAHAHAHA.
I don't know why he does that. I can't figure it out. I'm gonna go with affection. hahaha
Later on he got tired again and hes super cute because he is SO tired but he still wants to play so hes like fighting it. then he was walking and swaying and occasionally he just throws his head back (when hes sitting) and closes his eyes. DAMN fucking funny and cute. I want to die. :( I miss him already.
We said bye to the kids eventually. It was heartbreaking. I was carrying Kiko at that point (finally got him to settle down) And his head was on my shoulder and he was so quiet and all. Then i had to put him down and he struggled and cried. It teared up SO many times. This other girl (catgirl) who is also my kid was holding my hand and i hugged her and she was so sad and OMG... But we had to go and i really wanted to bring Kiko but I would go to jail for that.
HAHA.
We went back to the hotel, swam, ate dinner by the pool (BBQ) then had reflections. Reflections that night was the saddest motherfucking thing in the world. I cried like a baby and all the girls were crying and even chris and alex teared up. It was so bad.
But i guess we needed to let it out and let it go.
We're planning to revisit them in March but i hope it's not a Talk Only kinda thing.
After reflecting we went back to our rooms. I watched Rush Hour (best movie ever) with twinkle and Judders. then we went to Cs's room. Supposed to go back to the club but it was closed and everyone was moody. Went back to play cards with everyone, ended up watching Distraction on Channel 5. Put toothpaste on a sleeping Christopher and Judder's shaved his leg.
DAY 4:
Shopped for 20 minutes at the mall and then went home.
