Northeast Heritage Tour

Hello world.
Spent half the day in the hot basking sun today in many different enviroments and sights.Went for the Northeast heritage tour with people from my school.I heard from our guide that we were the pioneer batch of this tour.Wahhhh so big sia we all.Anyways,I found the tour pretty interesting.The guide seem to talk non stop and my head is filled to the brim with facts now.We went to a roman catholic church [which in fact was my prischool church..like the church we always go to when we had services so was nothing new to me].Then we went to a small temple which actually started out as a private family temple but it got so popular that it opened to the whole singapore.There was a proper well and a chinese kampong house in its area as well.I was pretty sync to see the kampong house interior.As always because of my luck...I was wearing these weird looking striped grey socks that I got on offer for $2.Just when I was wearing this socks..ppl had to see them.Whatever....then..we went to a crocodile farm.It was a pretty new and interesting thing to me.Never really saw a crocodile up close before..so ya..we also saw its feeding time aka tea break.Whats on the menu?-raw chicken head.....eeeEwww....miss tey later asked us 'real chicken??'..I am like...double Eeeew...then we went to see a about to demolish charcoal warehouse.Learnt from the guide that it was gona be torn down soon as it couldn't be put to much use anymore due to the decline of charcoal sales.It was darn hot and all the furniture was practically ancient.We went to the back where there was a river and behind the river was puggol.Learnt from the guide that punggol was actually where the very first malay kampong was.Wow.We then went to a japanese cemetary.I liked the environment there.Peaceful.Clean and green.Quite pretty too.Learnt that jap civilians and jap soldiers that died during WW2 was buried there.There were over 10000 jap soldiers remains there. Next we drove through tampines and arrived at downtown east where we had our lunch.Buffet to be exact.Had to admit..the surroundings was totally unexpected.I had envisioned a cramp old canteen with those kindergarten chairs and tables and placed on those tables were mini plates of nuggets and fried bee hoon...boy was I ever wrong.We stepped into this carpeted room with 5 round tables that had blue table clothed.Air-conditioned!!Me,kai ting,yanni,pauline,joey,pamela and 2 sec 1 gals praked ourselves at the table closest to the buffet table.Haha.I had 2 servings while pauline and yanni had around 3 to 4 servings.Oh man.Atmosphere so nice and peace.Oh plus the air condition after hanging outdoors for the entire morning was pure bliss.I had hoped that we could go to pasir ris park but we didn't have the time.So after everyone was full and well fed we headed back to school.The first drops of rain was sighted after we had board the bus.Whew...just right.So overall the tour was pretty fab.Shu Chen wasn't feeling well though and she went home after the temple.Ah too bad.
well
till then
