yesterday was a typical Singapore- weather day.
and the ten japanese high sch boys i was with, wasnt used to it and keep tellin me, "it's hot! Japan is not..."
initally i was really frightened at the prospect, but luckily, they were really good kids, althou some might be cheeky and some put words in other people's mouth( " he said he wanna marry U!") and a few was cute, esp the one who played baseball, wore braces and had a cut at the corner of his eye due to baseball accident.
they said they wanna go shoppin and i brought them to Marina Square, Citylink, Heeren, Takashimaya,Paragon and lastly the Scotts Pinic Food Court where they had dinner. none of them went remotely ga-ga over anything at any shops.
the only place i lacked was Far East, maybe they would enjoy there more. but no time!! time was wasted in Marina Square, i guess.
i shared with them my traditional fried carrot cake,( do they have that in Japan???) and most of them liked it. thats a relief! cause i didnt know how much they were enjoying themselves while shopping.
is caremal frappucino the most popular drink among teenage boys in japan? every single of them who ordered in Starbucks , ordered the same thing... and the poor auntie had to sprayed whipped cream on her hand to illustare whats whipped cream.
just basically lots of walking around and attempting to communiate. all of them called me Ms Eve, which is kinda funny , now that i think about it. too polite, afterall i am in the same age group...
and they were so sweet! they wanted to buy a necklace for me when we were in Marina Square. initally thought they were askin if they could buy for themselves... took a few minutes to make
sure i got them right.
but of course, i said no. thats the right thing to do. and i always do the right thing... most of the time=P
in the end, they got me this tea-cup which they had brought from Japan. it has a term, which i sadly forgot. they told me they had enjoyed themselves. had they really? cause i think i didnt really sense any excitement among them when i bring them around. guess they r sensitive enuff to a girl's feelings, to white-lie. hahaa.
and they said they would write to me!!! i am shocked! cause they r talking about SNAIL MAIL. wow! haha, cant wait to see if they would actually write.
day ended at DFS with an explosion of flashes from the camera.
heard alex's and yiting's grp actually had lunch in MACDONALDS eating the TEPPANYAKI burger. i cant figure out why. fly all the from japan to eat japan's food? dun geddit but i understand why.
it is always nice to see something familiar when u r away from home.
