Yay!! Monday was the first day of learning journey week. We would be starting school at 8 and the topic was English that day. It was raining extremely heavily. I was half wet when I reached Paya Lebar MRT. Imagine... I had to walk there. Thanks AiLi for arriving early :) AiLi, Karen, Poonam, Farah, Najwa and I headed for the bus stop opposite the MRT only to find that the bus stop was flooded. It was like amini beach with waves. Every time a car pass by, A gigantic 'wave' woud come down on us. Finally bus 197 came and we gratcully boarded it. That was the start of our interesting journey.
When we arrived, the rain was a light drizzle. What an irony :( At marine parade, we spotted our first mistake. "The pure taste adventure" the sign read of New Zealand Natural. However, we were not sure if it was a mistake. There were two meanings to it. First: The pure people taste adventure. Second" The pure taste OF adventure" We called Miss Santhi and she allowed us to use it as a mistake. :D So that was our first mistake, less than 5 minutes of the trip.
We headed to Macdonalds for breakfast. Farah accidentally dropped her breakfast on the floor. We found our next mistake there and asked a sales girl to take a group picture for us. 2nd one... moving on.
The next mistake found was the most hilarious. It was the bubble tea shop at marine parade. I have been patronising that shop for about a few months and never realised the mistake :D "Desert in a cup" who would want to drink that??? So dry one. It should be dessert in a cup. So remember that spelling makes alot of difference :)
I shall not go into detail about the rest of the journey lest I bore you to death. After finding all the mistakes, we went to the photo shop to print the photos. I did not know that photo's dropping out of the machine seemed so interesting. We were all amazed and excited. (how childish we were. Its good to be like that some times) Its like we have never seen something like that before.
We had a hard time deciding what to do next. Cause the Popular Bookstore does not open until 11pm and we needed a mounting board. We decided to go to Singapore post Centre. We took bus to Singapore Post Centre and we missed the bus stop and had to walk there. It was quite scary cause there were no pathways and we were walking at the edge of the road. xD
We did our reflection and Hiaku writing there. Karen and I had a drink of Pepsi. On the dot when Popular opened, we ran in to but the mounting board. Its not that the mounting boards were all going to be snatched up or something. Karen, Aili and I need to rush back to school for Conventional Malay. Furthermore, Ai Li forgot to bring a change of clothes so we had to go all the way to Kembangan to get Karen's uniform for Ai Li. We rushed to Orchard MRT. We were all starving by the time. We changed and emerged as RGS girls. What a miracle :D
Conversational Malay was really fun. It was the first time that I really learnt Malay. However, I feel that the teachers were going too fast as if we are Malay students. Learning is indeed an enjoyable journey :)
