a day to be remembered..
today is probably the best day of the year so far (due to the unfortunate trivial matters that has been happening for the past few days), anyways I went for a exchange field trip organised by the Japanese cultural school where I had my manga lesson last holiday. it was one heck of a day!~ I mean how often do you get to go out with friends from another country, and for my case, they're japs.~ (japs are cool~)but it wasn't an all "happy-go-lucky" thing, we had to help them with completing their assignments which was given during the briefing before we left for the field trip. the topic was about finding more on Singapore's heritage (..or it was something like that, I forget. =_=) things didn't go very smoothly, we had a major language barrier between us, it was really difficult to communicate with them, the tour around Singapore that we gave them wasn't even considered good at all, because they didn't look like they were enjoying themselves at all, for that.. I feel kinda bad. =/ we couldn't explain to them about the places of historical interest, again because of the language barrier, and my group and I didn't really socialise with them, AGAIN! because of the language barrier. argh! although we didn't get to know much about them, but it was a very good experience, we managed to make some new friends along the way, jap ones and some other local ones that were also helping out in the event. and in the process, we also learnt many things about the heritage of Singapore (I'm not much of a person that visit historical places. =p)
after the whole field trip, we had dinner at Inoue-san's house. (he is the principal of the school where I learnt manga) we got together, well me and melcolm tried to get the e-mail and contacts from our Jap friends, but sadly they either don't have an E-mail account or a computer and we didn't have enough time to get their addresses because the bus that was going to fetch them back to the hotel had already reached. soo, we didn't really get any contacts from them, its kinda sad.. but at least I know we will remain in their memories.
though we may only cross each others path this once,
but our silhouettes will remain in each other as a distant memory.
ではまた。
