bittersweet
wheeeeeee super glad/happy/thankful that my fellow LTB mates are joining me in my arduous journey for Ballooning Blitz :)i thought i would be super duper glad to go overseas, i mean i am, definitely, to get away from all this sponsorship shit and all the breathing down my neck and of course meeting my friends but i also realised i'll miss some people. never thought i would say that of smu since well, it's quite self-explanatory.
i need a break, and i need to catch up with old friends who are 10000 km away. mixed feelings for sunday :S
edit -
anywayz after twisting a ton of balloons (or rather watching people twist their thumbs sore) we decided to head over to the Merlion hotel to kill time. i chanced upon a rather comprehensive blog entry by a volunteer who volunteered for a day here: http://steakingcakes.blogspot.com/2011/04/can-we-touch-merlion.html
as for my experience, i think it was queer for lack of a better description. the experience was somewhat marred from the beginning when this noisy group of Chinese tourists started shouting behind us '为何要等这么久！叫里面的人下来!' and i was like shut your trap you bloody idiot you should be thankful the weather is forgiving (it was nice and cool with no sun at all, quite unusual these days) and they gave up waiting (THANK GOODNESS). we had to wait our turn and we were the second group to go in so the wait wasn't too long but we had to take off our shoes and i was wearing a pair of mismatched socks LOL. the reception area is like a typical reception area of a hotel, albeit a mini version but the thing that struck me most about the hotel was the space available. it is a huge room, with the merlion's head perched gloriously in full splendour in the middle but since it is the centerpiece of the room everything else looks so tiny. the garish wallpaper doesn't do it any good either or maybe it's just because i don't know how to appreciate it. but somehow, if i'm staying there i really wouldn't want to have ten thousand tiny prints of Raffles all over the room.
at least we managed to catch a glimpse of the merlion before the hotel gets taken down on Sunday. (Y)
