JAPAN TRIP <3was a blast.
it was so full of ups and downs and at the end of the day, i'm still gna miss it loads. and we're not really going to SEE THE SEC4S ANYMORE ): !!! i feel so sad. i am going to miss them so much.
anyway i can't talk much. i found out that i'm leaving home at 630PM?! i thought 9pm! i guess you can visit priscilla's blog for more info of it since she wrote every night about the trip. (: my roommate is quite scary and fun hahahahhaa.
every morning we would have to wake up around 6 plus? sometimes we have to meet at 7, or 7 plus, or 630 blabla. tiring. and we always sleep on the bus. but as the day goes on, slowly and surely we will go high so that by 9 to 10 plus we would be ultimately high. :D and every night we would have party in someone's room or on the corridor since the hotel (more like an inn) was super tiny and the rooms were like hardly any space to walk around. yup and everyone was mad, including ms sim at times haha.
day1
flight was bad, cos i didn't get a window seat and so i couldn't sleep properly and isabel, who was sitting inbetween pris and i kept jerking us for strange reasons. and for breakfast i just ate rice and ignored the salmon.. cos the rice was nice and i was not hungry! :) and then there was this man wearing a mask and who kept on coughing once in a while which sounded so scary i kept on thinking "oh no i don't want to fall sick on the plane PLEASE don't spread your germs to me!"
erm i forgot what did we do on that day. OH we had 2 performances and honestly it kinda sucked. the sec4s havent practiced since like sept and we were all so tired and yup we couldn't really play properly. and st hilda's and northland didn't play too well. oh well that was one of the worse days. we played at a primary sch where the girls were so cute! and at a children's hospital where we went quite high. :D checked in the hotel only in the evening and yes we were super tired but we still had to go out to find dinner.
dinner was hilarious. after finally finding a shop to eat we realised the menu had no pictures so we did something quite unbelievable. we went out of the shop and pointed at the display stuff to the waitress HAHA. but the food was nice!
day2
HRJ festival. i'll talk about the people later on. was interesting. we met many people which was fun and the workshops were so erm.. eventful! most of us took origami and we all discovered that i'm so not a visual person. i must like have 3 people to tell me how to fold before i finally get it HAHAH. yup thats about all i guess?
day3
festival again. we were so stressed okay. but in the end everything turned out fine. bah i'm getting impaitient to finish this post. sorry!
day4
to nagasaki! that place is so nice and pretty! performance was quite okay. the glover garden was nice too. and the hotel was super too! the rooms were so much bigger and nicer :) went to peace park, and the war museum. it was sad but we still went high nevertheless :)
day5
went to this kassai ( i think?) high and senior high sch. which is sec and jc sch. the people there were nice and their eng wasn't too bad.the jc students have to take eng. and then we went to old folk's home for our last performance. it was sad. cos its the sec4s last one with us. and the speech was sad too though i don't know what the woman was saying. the whol day we were like prac sleeping in the bus, the occasionally getting out to eat something, then going back in again. oh we went to this castle too. quite interesting haha.
day6
came back.
okay. overall the things we bought were - food. hahaha we kept on visiting super markets and most of the stuff we bought was food. heh. and yes the temp was super nice! 13 to 15degrees. funniest things to recall was about everything, ranging from THE MAN, shadow ringing, parties at night, i can't remember much now cos i think i'm falling sick oh dearrr. if i can recall more then after the 10th dec cos i need to do other stuff now!
