Hello,
Just a short post, since I don’t have much time. I’ve lots of homework to do. And besides homework, I have tests to revise on. Chemistry test tomorrow and A Maths retest. I failed my A Maths test miserably, that’s why.
From a runner for cross-country, I became a road marshal, and I asked if I could take photos. Mr Mazlee said why not? LOL. So I guess I’ll be armed with my camera on that day, snapping away. But I’m suppose to be a road marshal! How?

Hello,
Time to tell about the Kukup Trip yesterday.
Reached school at around 6.20am, and ended up waiting for a while, since the teachers were not here yet. After that, teacher arrived and we proceeded into the school for attendance taking and briefing. Then Bus 1 arrived first, so my class got to go first! We will be leading all the way, I’ll tell you why later.
Made our way to the causeway, in which there was a really long queue of cars, buses, and heavy vehicles. LOL. We were like, damn, we will spend 10 years waiting! But our bus driver was skillful and clever, Mr Bobby somehow managed to squeeze pass all of them and reach the Malaysia checkpoint in less than 15-20 minutes! Especially at the Malaysia customs, where he got off and asked the other vehicles to move back and make way for us, since we can go to a different queue with no vehicles. With that little amount of space for a large bus, we squeezed through! Thank you Mr Bobby, wonderful, experienced and skillful driver. LOL.
After clearing the immigration, we waiting for our tour guide, Auntie Belinda to arrive. About 10-15 minutes later, she boarded the bus and of course, self-introduction.
And I took out my camera (not actually mine), and guess what. I charged the battery and forgot to bring it!
Wasted! Camera with no battery, I wonder how it was going to work. LOL. Felt sad for a minute, but nevermind, others have cameras as well. Hehe.
We first had a short little break somewhere, where of course, bubblegums and chewing gums! Bought quite a lot and shared with the class. So there we go, chewing chewing, blow, and POP! My first bubblegum, I blew and blew, and FLY! The gum flew out of my mouth. LOL!
After that, made our way to the Chocolate Boutique, to learn about how they made chocolates, coat them, and of course buy them! Not forgetting that we tasted them and keep taking. LOL. In the end, I got a Tiramisu Dark Chocolate, it was nice! After that, if I remember correctly was the Royal Museum. The first thing that went through my mind was that it was very peaceful here, like a countryside. And I love peace! Probably because it was drizzling as well. Browsed though all the stuff, medals and stuff. LOL. Some were very impressive, and some were funny.
After that, took out our shoes to visit the place where the royal family used to live. Surprisingly, it was very Westernised. The beds, chairs, tables all had a western style. And I wondered why the chairs and tables in the rooms were so low. LOL. The most impressive one was the place, where the chairs, tables, everything was made of crystal! That was pretty grand. After this, was a visit to the Pewter factory. The tin (liquid) was really heavy! I scooped it up, and tried lifting it up, couldn’t. LOL!
Boarded the bus again, and time to go to Kukup! 1 hour journey was enough for a small nap, which many took. LOL. After we were about to reach, then Auntie Belinda would say, Wakey Wakey! LOL. It was really cute.
When we reached Kukup, it was lunch first, and it was really funny! Sat down, and the food came immediately. Rice came first, so I took for everyone, so kind right! Then halfway, the fish came. I bet everyone was thinking like this. “Wa, got first come already. ATTACK!” Because that was what all the boys did, for my table, since all boys. They ATTACK and everyone was trying their best to get their share, and I was scooping rice for everyone. LOL. So evil right? Ok, at least the 2 beside me were kind enough to take some for me.
After that, I believe the fishball came. So I said WAIT, and counted, 3,2,1 and ATTACK! 5 seconds later, nothing left. LOL! Boys are boys, so yea. The rest of the dishes were the same style. Hehe.
Finished lunch and went onto a boat to a fish farm. Worked along planks and saw some nice little creatures. Fishes, horseshoe crabs, jellyfish, and seahorse. LOL. Everyone was trying their best to get a good shot of them, and we were competing for space. LOL. There were guard dogs as well, and they were cute!
After that was the visit to the mangrove swamp. We took a group picture there and of courss it was the most southern tip of mainland Asia. Walked through the mangrove swamp, accompanied with monkeys! LOL. They were really daring, looking for food. And one was just standing next to me, looking at me in the eye. “I want food!” Soon, we reach the most southern tip of mainland Asia, where there was a globe also. LOL.
And of course, the journey back was a sleepy one, as usual, though I didn’t really sleep. Overall, it was a fun trip, with our wonderful tour guide and driver.
Enjoyed myself, and I believe others did as well. Hope there will be such trips again. Hehe. And I better remember to bring my camera battery.
