Then after that i had ice kachang but i only ate the third with the brown syrup. Sarah ate the rest! Then Sarah had to go home for dinner and Jing xi went to his friend's house.
Oh and i'm way to lazy to blog about krabi. I shall just copy and paste what jose wrote so i can remember what happened in krabi if i ever come back to look at my blog when i grow up.
JOSE'S VERSION OF EVENTS and the stuff in bold are added by me.
Jun's 17th birthday "party"
And Juns, I'm so sorry for a second reason. I totally forgot to talk about your b'day celebration. Well, Mary bought the cake in Singapore, keeping it a secret from Juns. Then on Day 1, she, Sarah, Berns and Jing Qing iced the cake and she kept it in me and Thiru's fridge. Well, it was supposed to be a secret. When Mary was bringing it to our dining place (a rather charming open-air sheltered verendah thingy), Thiru was supposed to stall Juns. Haha, too bad it wasn't successful. [Thiru is such a bad staller! sheesh. what kind of stalling is going "What?" to juns and then letting her come over to me?! Anyway, juns walked up to me and when she saw the cake she kind of stopped and her eyes grew very wide haha.] Juns just walked and saw Mary holding the cake. Mary tried to hide it, but how successful can one be at hiding a cake?
Well, Juns saw Mary holding it, and she had this strange smile on her face. We had dinner, had the cake (it was a fantastic chocolate cake with nutella icing [why, thank you. :P ]) and apparently I was the only one who was able to capture the moment on camera. So... Juns, here it is!
(go to his blog for the picture haha)
And then, Juns went and hugged Mary after the whole thing. Haha, through this trip, we've gotten to see everyone's really great side. Now.. Moving on to..
Day 2
We went mangrove planting in the morning. We had to go a school then went behind it to plant some mangroves. It smelt like eggs in the swamp. Still, we did learn about how the mangroves affected the coral down south. Interesting bio lesson. [yawn!] The school itself was interesting.
[i like this picture of the school. It makes the place look ALOT nicer then it really was. I think it's the sunlight and the trees.]We took a one-hour long boat trip (no, we didn't kayak. If we did, some of us would still be in hospital right now) to the mainland where we got off to kayak. I also saw that the river we were to kayak up was very gentle. That relieved me. Too bad I don't have any pics of that event (I was terrified of dropping my camera while kayaking/getting it wet). [i brought my underwater camera! hope my dad develops the pictures soon]
Well, it was a very enjoyable ride. Except for the fact that since me and Mary were kayaking together, SOME PEOPLE decided to compose a song. [Seriously, WHO started the song? I'm going to kill that person!!] I shall not elaborate further. That information you shall have to find out yourself. Still, I really grew quite fond of kayaking (except for the tiredness factor) and I don't mind doing it again sometime.
Talking about kayaking the day before when i was with Tanya and he was paddling alone: The way back, as I said, was more mental than anything, and I had to be guided back on path by a laughing Mary and Tanya."
[Yeah jose wasn't looking where he was going and he started kayaking to the left instead of straight forward. So Tanya and i were staring at him going the wrong way, wondering what he was doing until i finally shouted to him. i think he was sleeping hahaha.]
When we were kayaking back to the pier, this sandbar was exposed by the low tide and many of us got stuck in it. Me and Mary had to get out and push the kayak along for a while before being able to paddle away. This was made more difficult by the current which was pushing us towards the sandbar. For a while I was afraid that we might be stuck there. Haha, good thing we got back safely.
Strangely enough, me and Mary seemed to be one of the slower kayakers. Lol, need practice...
Fine, we did actually become first at one point, then we had to lag behind again, but our pace was kinda leisurely, you have to admit that, Mary. Right? =)
[Yeah we soo could've gone faster if we wanted to okay. But some people were blocking the way! haha i'm so egoistic!]
Thanks for letting me use your blog jose!
