Makan Kakis Tour 11:07 PM

MAKAN KAKIS TOUR!

I'm back in Singapore again! OMG I realised I had so many misconceptions about this tour. 1. It was $300 pax, and I thought it was $50 (or $80)! I kind of remembered the tour as cheap when we signed up for it. But after all it wouldn't tally since it was a 3 day 2 night trip and we had good hotels and good food at restaurants. I think my common sense is screwed. :/ 2. It was NOT a filming trip. The trip name is the same as that of the tv show, but Chen Li Ping was just present there as a star guest or something, so she's in this trip as a tourist, just as all of us. Except that she has to take an exceptionally lot of photos hee. She was actually very casually dressed too.

Some photos! :D

This was an awkward request by me for Chen Li Ping to take photos with us. We were at the mall, and we spotted her with her manager I think, and I shyly tapped her from the back to ask her to take photos with us. The manager later told us that they thought they were pickpocketed or something!

Bus group photo with her. :D There were 13 buses for her to take photos with! As you can see, more than half of my group consists of uncles and aunties, but there were a couple of younger couples and the kids are only my brother and I, and two other guys. I think there're only a handful of people my age in this whole tour group of 300 people.

Chen Li Ping and our family.
Family photo at the Melaka Church we'd visited. Oh man, I've been there countless times; it's getting boring. Seems like it's one of the tourist attractions we have to visit in Melaka. I think the last time I'd been there was year 3 level camp!
Another bit of the place.

Picture taken with our tour guide, Maggie Cheung and Yew Hin, our tour leader. They're very nice people! Lol, the tour guide speaks Hokkien and Catonese a lot, perhaps to cater to the old folk on the bus, but my brother and I don't really understand sometimes. And she cracks a lot of dirty jokes in dialects, which of course most I don't understand and they make the group of aunties laugh; in fact, I only understood one which she spoke in half-chinese half-dialect. I think it was supposed to be quite minor, but I was quite affected by it already. Maybe it's because of my imagination haha. It was really for humour though. But she's really eloquent and likes to make a lot of puns, some of which are quite interesting sometimes. :D

Chen Li Ping on stage during dinner today. Man, I got sabo-ed by my table and my tour leader to go up on stage to play a game! Yeah, and I went up on stage and the guy on the right, the tour leader of another bus, Danny I think, flirted with me (for fun). Well, there weren't really other targets on the stage, because out of the five contestants there was a guy about my age, a much younger girl, and a couple of aunties or uncles. I realise I can never handle flirts well. I just get stunned. The game was actually very easy, a jackpot game. Well, there were three people facing different directions, and I shout for start and stop and they just move their arms around in three different ways. It made me confused and I couldn't find a time when all three of them were in the same position (which sometimes they probably were and I didn't notice) and when I just shouted stop randomly I hit 2 out of 3. And ended up with a $10 five stars voucher.

Overall, I guess this trip was quite fun, but the food really isn't much of the highlight of the tour. I guess it was the star in the tour. Some of the food tasted normal, some wasn't enough for 10 pax a table, while some was just not my type, such as spicy nonya food. Actually I think the meals I enjoyed most were the buffet breakfasts in the hotels! I think I ate so much for the trip I've grown fatter again. :( But it's okay, 'cos I have DANCE tomorrow to work of those fats!

Yes and ROYCE CHOCOLATES called me! :D While I was still in Malaysia. Which means there's 70% I'd gotten my job hee. I was supposed to meet the japanese manager today, but I couldn't since I was away from Singapore. I hope I can make other arrangements soon and get confirmation for this job! But the friends who I'd made during the wait for the interview told me it was only a briefing, so I guess it should be a breeze, if I am able to meet the manager after I'd missed this chance.
OKAY, I really have to go to sleep now. It's 12.30am already! I should really concentrate tomorrow for dance lessons with Liang Lao Shi. Good night! :D
