Day 2 :
We woke up at about 6+ the next morning. My Hp alarm rung first at 6.oo sharp. Then Rosemary's at about 6.15. Then XinYing's a minute later. So we woke up and washed up. The morning call came at 6.30.
At 7.30, we went down for Buffet Breakfast at the hotel. yummm...
There was assorted bread( ok, that souded wierd) cereal, samosas, sausages, ommellete, porridge , juice etc.
After that filling breakfast, we went to the Baba Nyona Heritage which was a traditional Peranakan house and got lotsa info for PW.
Then, we visited the Cheng Hoon's Temple where we learnt about Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.
Next, we were given half an hour to walk around Jonker Street to get souvenirs and other stuff like snacks.
We went to a restuarant for a simple buffet lunch and there was Ice Cream!!!
Then, we went to Kanpong Indah to learn about malay culture. We had basketry and we made our own little baskets and I destroyed mine as the wood broke. :(
We also learnt how to play the Ghasing and witnessed rubber tapping. We felt the sap of the rubber tree and saw how rubber is being made.
Next up was the village house. We went inside to see how a piece of material can be worn in many ways. We learnt how to make Ketupat (dunno how to spell) and explored the house.
Finally, it was the much awaited River Cruise. It was REALLY fun. We waved at every single person we see (including statues, haha) and cheered on the boat. We also "bombed" the other classes and GR bombed us back.
We procceeded to Dragon Delux restaurant for a great dinner. We saw the double rainbow outside the restuarant while we were about to leave.
Lastly, we went back to the Hotel for the Debrief. Much surprisingly, we did not get the most enthu class award :( but instead the most diciplined class award.
Lights out that night was at 11.15 pm. That night,we were not as scared as we were on the first.
