um hello.
im quite sleepy now as im blogging, gonna sleep in about 15 minutes time if i can get this post over and done with ASAP -_-
6th of December.
the night before that, i was PLANNING to actually sleep at 8pm, for the sake of my body's screwed up clock. but shit happened, so i ended up chatting and chatting on MSN till it's like 3am??? wtf? so i had like only 2 and a half hours of sleep before waking up again later -_-
reached FULLERTON ONE at 830am sharp. a group of students were already there. so it's quite obvious that they're here for the touring job. thank god Siti msged me telling it's NOT Fullteron Hotel, or else i would have waited ages there for nothing.
so the usual dude turns up later, at about 840am, and fuck la, they're sorting us into groups again -_- something which i really dont like!!!! i prefer the "see and pick the group of your choice" method. oh well.
855am
the students came over. so i held my paper up, and i saw this group of guys walking towards me. so my heart kinda sank at that moment, as i already got a gut feeling at the start that my group today is gona be all guys and yes IT IS. so crap, asked them to introduce themselves and bla bla bla.
it was a little awkward at first because my brain wasnt tuned to Japanese language yet, so i had to think REALLY hard before speaking. and ended up screwing up grammar and words. fark, super embarassing la. this botak guy keeps talking to me, so i eventually opened up and starting talking more, eventually picking up the momentum to speak Japanese with confidence.
dudes wanted to go Chinatown, so duh, i brought them there as the first destination. seriously, i dont know why tourists wanna go there!!! it's like a boring stretch of shitty shops. the botak guy kept telling me that he wana buy cheap stuff. so yeh i brought them around Chinatown. they ended up not buying anything and just walk walk see seee.
this group is really corny la. they can be really random at times. like for eg, at chinatown, i heard something like "koko de kenka ni nattara, dou suru?"
and one of them asked if i disliked him, i said no, then he said "I LOVE YOU"
wtf.
and the random apologising and shaking of hands -_-
sometimes if they make really small mistakes or me complimenting them on the slightest of things, they would shake my hand saying either "sankyuu" or "SOUREE"
hahahah.
recommended them to eat some Ba Gua. they seem to like it. after practically going through almost all of the shops, they got bored and asked me to bring them to somewhere else instead -_- since they dislike the heat, Marina Square appeared in my head as the next destination.
2nd Destination.
Marina Square.
rested at starbucks for some time, while i used this as an oppurtunity to log into Sgcafe using my laptop since i brought it out, and configure Goldfish's ipod touch.
they didnt shop much -_- so i brought them to the arcade and watched them play for a while. this guy went to play the lousy Drum Mania V2 machine. he's reasonably good at it, but that machine farking lousy because the volume was SO LOW that the sound of him wacking the plastic drum was overwhelming the speakers. farking funny la.
since the bowling alley was nearby i randomly suggested to play, surprisingly they agreed to it seriously hahahaha. coming to singapore on a tour and playing BOWLING on their free time is wtf. hahaha. like, they're 10480157025 other MUCH better things to do.
and oh ya, some of them got really retarded at the end. throwing 2 balls at once. i thought he would clear the pins since he's cheating already but guess what happened......
the two balls crisscrossed each other and both ended up in the gutter hahahah!!!!
ok la, i know im A LOUSY BOWLER.
99% gutter shots -_-
and they're good at it. but lucky im not LAST on the table ^^
someone else is. hahahaha.
seriously playing only ONE game of bowling took up so much precious time. i have to return them back by 3pm. so i brought them to Orchard lastly to spend their last hour and a half there since i guess they'll like it there. orchard is a so-called "teenagers' paradise"
they bought a lot of accessories -_- really. someone said he wanted to search for a wallet. didnt we go to a wallet shop earlier at Marina Square??? -_- poor him, he didnt get to buy his wallet.
Far East was our final and last place. and even though we reached there about 10 minutes before deadline, they still roamed about and continued shopping. time management is errr. but it's ok, i rounded them up and we reached there on time. no wonder one of them was damn anxious when he called up his sensei to tell him they might be late haha since a few days before they went past the deadline.
they're not bad after all. i thought getting guys would be a total nightmare if they turn out to be those ultra boring type. but this group was fun, retarded at times, still yet warm and friendly. i miss them already T_T
before we bid goodbye, this tall guy with the cap, arguably the most friendly guy in the group, gave me a hug, and a sourvenir as a parting gift. and it's a joke book in Japanese.
the other botak guy gave me a Japanese top (独楽) shook hands and we parted. took a picture using my Polaroid, but the picture turned out blur because of shaky hands (i didnt take it hor) damn... if that wasnt the last exposure left inside the camera, at least i could have probably gotten a better picture on the 2nd shot.
goodbye guys. i hope you enjoyed yourselves on your short time trip here !! i know im a lousy guide, honto ni gomen ne.
goldfish quite dumb, at the start of the day we had manpower issues, not enough guides, if she volunteered on the spot, she could have gotten a separate paycheck and a group of her own -_-
$36 goes to your own spending leh.
BUT haha, you're on your own!!!
farking tired to update on anymore shit after that.
fuck, almost 3am liao.
i better sleep. tmr's Cutepetz birthday party. i cant wait to swim. but i think her house is gona be crawling with visitors.
goodnight.
these arms remain stretched out to you, maybe someday you'll accept them.
