Peaceboat
FYI: Peaceboat is kind of an NGO program that promotes the use of english through interactive activities all over the world. Participants are from Japan. They spend about 3 months on board Peaceboat the ship that cruises to places of Vietnam, S'pore, Kenya, Jordan, Egypt, Spain, Italy, Brazil, America and all during the 3 months. there will be student volunteer to bring the Peaceboat people around the countries they stop at.
when Peaceboat visited Singapore today, i was one of the student volunteers at Harbourfront Centre. i'm glad i came, though i was feeling very very tired after the morning class (had a really late night). it was an experience :) the 3 of us accompanied a 60 year old man to Vivo City and Ngee Ann City looking for a room temperature thermometer... we took lots of photos, good ones :) the highlight of the day was our seafood dinner at East Coast... like no other groups went to east coast hahaha...
and look at what we had for dinner, Sri Lanka crab, fried with butter, and deep fried Nilotica fish :) gorgeous tasting dishes... i'd love to come again... if you feel like having seafood, give me a call :)
then we headed back to the cruise centre... and had a tour of Peaceboat... it's not a very posh ship but yeah, seems comfortable enough for a 3 month stay... jacuzzi, swimming pools (with no water though hahaha), a few bars, a nice lounge, a theatre... and look at the dining hall (no less than a posh restaurant to me):
it was fun :) i might consider coming again next year hahaha... just that it's really tiring... maybe only this time, cuz i wasn't prepared... oh well, i gotta walk along beautiful paths bright with christmas streamers and ornaments...
i just love Christmas :)
and i hate my phone... i wanna have a digicam now... it's an item in my wishlist... that's for sure... i'm so irritated when i so wanted to snap good pics of huge xmas trees and my phone just cannot make it... look at how it sucks (the pretty thing is at Ngee Ann City by the way):
we parted... after meeting every one in the lounge... me and my friend got to talk to this guy who's quite cute (hahaha)... i was tired... and i still wanted to meet my friends... headed back to Orchard and joined them for a drink at Mr Bean (the service totally sucked)... they're so lovely hahaha... that's how my day ended, with the people i want :) wonder if it's a kind of make-up for the lousy weekend... i miss Xin Yi... :) and yeah, a definite make up to the boring trip to the S'pore Art Museum in the morning :)
