is back in singapore! :)

what a whirlwind ride.

(all in medan time, which is 1-hr behind spore)
06.30 - woke up for bf at swiss cafe. okay the spread was good but the quality was so-so nia. took a walk at the hotel complex, which is a mixed complex consisting of a condo and a shopping mall, which has ya-kun, starbucks, breadtalk, coffeebean and many other familiar names inside.

08.00 - adrian arrived. sorted things out with him, like have to buy local sim card, get adapter, and all those chapalang hotel stuff which i didn't do before he got there. NO MONEY ma! hahahah

10.00 - met suriah again to bring me to do some paperwork, got the sim card, changed leftover ringgits to local rupiahs, and had lunch together at sun plaza. as much as i empathise with the local medan people, i presently can't imagine spending an entire afternoon without aircon. it was SOOOOO HOTTTTT

basically everything after this related to company stuff, which is unsharable. HAHAHA oh yeah i tried chicken char siew noodles and avocado milk from cambridge shopping centre, which was just below grand swiss belhotel. the char siew's GOOOOOOOD. amk's avocado's better than this. HAHAHA


medan was physically and mentally-draining as much as it was spiritually-inspiring. it opened my eyes to the world - people washing clothes in the river; 4-years olds begging for money on the ROADS; a city where shopping malls are never filled up becuz locals can't afford to go there (and probably denied entry by the security); a country where money has to be slipped into the pocket to get things done; and it also showed me that people all around the world needs to be smooth-talked, and certain white lies have to be desperately cooked up to get a seat on a flight.

but i met wonderful people on this 2D1N adventure. kelvin, uncle yong, suriah, rachel. GREAT PEOPLE! looking forward to see them again in KL and Medan if possible! :) ooo this is suriah, my friendly van driver in medan. we tried to speak in bahasa, but i cui k! hahahah but i think i improved today.

i have random malay phrases running continuously through my mind now. PLS STOP IT! hahahahahahah
