Okay, so i just noticed that it’s been.. a month since i’ve updated, so i apologize to the few people that are actually following our “schedule”.
Day Fourteen- July 4
- went to the NDP (national day parade) rehearsal with ah yi and uncle peter.
- half way there, while we were on the MRT, we realized that even tho we were wearing red and white, for singapore, it was july 4th, and we were also wearing blue jeans (me and ash both were)!! lol God bless America (even if it DID rain on the day that CCC was going to do fireworks (according to joran))
- si jay was the commander of the barges that held the… i forget how many, 25 lb-ders “guns”. they are actually ceremonial guns that look more like cannons, and the reason that they are called 25 lb-ders is because the shells that they shoot out weigh 25 lbs (it’d be really sad if the “gun” itself was 25 lbs…)
- like i said, si jay was the commander, so he gave us special permission to go on the barges and look at the guns! it was really cool!!
- we saw the flyer (the only ferriswheel in singapore) and it is, in a word, HUGE. it’s… idk, the size of the st.louis arch?? or bigger…
- fireworks at NDP were amazing!!!
Day Fifteen to Twenty Four- July 5-…14??
don’t remember, sorry! XP
Day Twenty-Five- July 15
- went to san ah gu’s place for singapore BBQ/grilled dinner. it was pretty good. Bell (our old dog) is a REALLY old lady now.
- went with yi(or yu?) xiang kor kor to pick up daddy from the airport @ 11 something…!!
Day Twenty-Six- July 16
- packing to get ready to go to Penang (or Pinang, if u want the Malay spelling…)
Day Twenty-Seven- July 17
- got on the plane (how many planes flights does this make??)
- got there, and it’s even HOTTER than singapore.
- then, to my horror of horrors: there is NO computer or internet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- went through the painful illness of computer withdrawal.
Day Twenty-Eight- July 18
- went to Penang hill, saw the penang bridge
- we ALMOST saw monkeys there, but we weren’t allowed to go to where they were. (thanks God, I DESPISE those annoying, evil, nut-throwing, kid attacking…well, never mind. u get the picture. they scared me SO badly when i was a kid… *shudder* I REALLY don’t like Malaysian monkeys!!)
Day Twenty-Nine to Thirty One- July 19-21
- i forget what all we did, but we got a bunch of stuff!!!
Day Thirty-Two- July 22
- returned to Singapore. oh, and did i mention that singapore is SO MUCH CLEANER??!!! and better yet, I got to use the computer again!!!! yay!!!!!!!!! we got back in singapore at about 10, went to eat lunch at da ah gu’s restaurant at about…12, and then we killed time till 5.
- then i went over to da ah yi’s house, and used the comp from 5-…7:30. managed to type up more of my story and send it to my co-author (joran) FINALLY!!!
Day Thirty-Three- July 23
- got a haircut (which according to my mother, makes me look 18 instead of my previous hairstyle that made me look 22??)
