and so. im back from my malaysia trip. it was definitely a fun,a meaningful, a fruitful and a memorable one!

have learnt so much and gain so much from the trip.

all 4days 3night have been filled with laughter and joy. and these memories need to be penned down or recorded somehow.

i could feel that all the juniors have grown up and matured. i could feel the passion for co in them and that made me really very touched. this trip had definitely bonded the co more. and i can say,我可以放心离开。it's time i really step down and pass on the baton.
this time, i'm really leaving.不需要牵挂什么。因为 co 一定会好好的.

shall let the pictures to do the rest of the talking:


DAY 1

we departed from school to muar.
we were at the chung hua high school.

the school is quite beautiful, i must say. and it's really big. students DRIVE around. haha.


classroom-outer view



classroom-inner view

tables damn small leh. i think sure not enough for us to put our books de man.


school compound. i think this is their newer building bah


after some introduction of the school, the music exchange program starts.
a picture of swiss co with mr lee.

the last piece was a combined piece where both schools played together.
it was nice!

chung hwa high sch co with their conductor. this is the only school where there is a conductor(adult and not a student)


this is their student conductor. he is really pro. i 'm very impressed with the COs in msia sia. cos they do not really have/need a teacher-in-charge. all activities are run by the students themselves. even the training of juniors. they don't have any instructors for that. see how fortunate swiss co are? with the best tic, best conductors...

after the exchange, the co prepared some refreshments for us and it is also a time for us to interact with the co people there.

these are my juniors:eileen(qudi),peiyi(gaoyinsheng;]),felicia(bangdi)

after which we went around the school with the woodwinds people there and took some photos together. they are really nice and friendly people.


us again.


lastly, there was a group photo.

it was a great experience in the school and we were all very impressed with their standard despite the fact that they do not have much money and resources. most of them have their own instruments at home. i believe it is that passion that keeps them going on bah.

after the exchange, we went for dinner and then we checked into our hotel.

katerina hotel. nice. 4 stars. haha

outside view of the hotel

me and yuping's room number

and i tell you. my mum strike lottery today cos of this number. hahas. i think it was toto. 07 and 17. lol. but please don't kidnap me. cos it was jus a very small amount of money. haha.

the bedroom.


the view from my room's window.


after bathing,cixian,turbo,jieying and cheryl come to our room. we watched 红星大奖 together. after which took some some photos.
this photo was really solid right? turbo was captured when she was "flying". lol.


this was the" after" for the fly photo.


then as usual, we went into the toilet for some photo taking.


please don't 流鼻血。haha. actually we trying to act 性感。;]

after that we played cards with junda. we gambled till 2am. then we went back to sleep...

DAY 2:
after breakfast in the hotel, we checked out from the hotel and proceed to batu pahat for another exchange.

it was at hwa ren sec sch.






their hall.


as we tour around the school, we saw this 完美楼.it is really a very beautiful beautiful building！look at the building with the sky as the backdrop. nice right?


me and my mother:ms ong.

congrats to her. she's pregnant! ;]


i must say, this school is really very ncie and well decorated with solid paintings done by the students themselves. look at this portrait.from far, u see three heads. if we go closer,you will see alot more drawings. I-M-P-R-E-S-S-I-V-E


the teachers mimic-ing the drawings. ;]

ms toh is VERY VERY VERY CUTE right? i love her man. ;]]]]

LOL!






these are little little square paintings on the wall beside their school's basket ball court that make up the large portrait. i know you are impressed too.


then we went to look at the classrooms.
it has been ages since i saw a BLACK BOARD! heh heh.

their classroom walls are also nicely painting with drawings. the room looked so lively and colourful！








look at how they decorated their classrooms walls! they are B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L



chinese painting found in the wall of the classroom. very very magnificent!


even the switches they also want to paint leh. strong sia
hwa ren school compound.

this school is really very pretty with lots of artefacts and paintings on the wall done by students.
hwa ren secondary chinese orchesra.
swiss co

after the exchange, they organised some interactive games for us to play. i didn't get to join in cos natalie was sick and i tooked care of her.
the school' standard is also very high and they have no conductors. only some advisers which i think is zo bo one.

bbco sheng-ers,swiss sheng-ers and hwa ren sheng-ers.
they are really pro people!!!!! we really cant compete with them sia

after some interaction and refreshment, before we leve, we took a group photo again.
给我留下最深刻影响的就是这件学校。因为这里的学生真得太热情了!很受宠若惊的感觉！离开时，真的有些依依不舍。
他们还在校门等我们的巴士经过，和我们挥手道别！

this guy here is also a sheng player and he is the leader. im very impressed with his outspoken-ness and i had the most lasting impression of him too. though he is younger than me, i find that he is really very mature through the conversation and interaction with him.
all in all, this school is really the best school among the three. ;]
and yah. this is a picture of him waving goodbye to us outside the bus.

after which, we proceed to melacca and had dinner there.
the dessert was coconut pudding and it was really D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!
look at us, woodwinds+cheryl. we go take the other table's coconut and ate the flesh. shiok!



and after the dinner, we checked into the mahkota hotel.i went there before so i knew it was quite a good hotel. but to my surprise, the apartment we were allocated to weren't very good sia. in fact it was creepy when we first went in. i think we were in the budget one lor. very sad. but okay lah. just try to make ourself as comfortable as possible. so after some time i thought it was okay bah.

outer view of the hotel.looks good right?


our apartment. it consists of 2 bedroon,one living room, one kitchen,one balcony.not very big as a whole. but it's still enough for 4 people lah.
our apartment's balcony view.though it was quite lousy(as compared to the katerina hotel), at least it is windy~

went over to cx,turbo,jy,cheryl's apartment. their balcony view is quite solid sia.

we spent 2 nights at the mahkota hotel.
first night we(me,cx,turbo,yp,cheryl) talked alot and laughed alot. cos all of us used the ma lai xi ya qiang which was so so so amusing. especially me. it came out naturally. haha. yeah. so it was hell lots of fun! and we gossiped and talked so much. giggled so much. until our sides hurts,stomach hurts,sore throat. it was a very memorable night. when would there still be such chance?haii.

at around 2am, we went back to sleep again. for this hotel, the rooming arrangement is 4 to a room and me n yuping were with our juniors while the 4 of them together.

for the second night, most of us were too tired and too sick. we didn't talk much then cx,cheryl,turbo can't take it and went to sleep.

yuping and i then went downstairs to join our juniors for some chit chat and then we went back to sleep in our rooms later.


so before we check out the last day, room mates photo!


and of course, woodwinds photo! i love woodwinds~

DAY 3 :


woke up for breakfast and proceed to the last school for our exchange.

pay fong sec school.we were told that payfong was a very very very good school and yeah. it was indeed one.








chinese characters painted on the walls of the building.




the exchange was in this room-huai xuan tang. it was a very beautiful room!


swiss co

pay fong co

there's still one more co from ipoh. i think it's called san de sec sch. it is a boys school. and i think everyone in the co are talents! they performed many solo pieces and qi zou. very li hai somemore.

after which,sheng-ers from bbco, swissco, payfong co, san de co took a group photo

and as usual, a group photo of everyone
after the exchange,we went for lunch.


dining mates-they wanted a formal photo. but as you can see, most of us are am chio-ing.


my dining mates for the trip. all are woodwinds people so we have hell lots of fun sitting together. and ww really are big eaters. haha.
then finally, there is time for some shopping.


us outside a shopping mall. the shopping mall was just opposite our hotel. but too bad, we don't have much time to shop.tight schedule!

yuping,turbo and me with the sand art piece. haha. it has been ages since we do all those things yah? it brought back childhood memories sia. ;]

yuping worse. only got a necklace.

i think turbo also only manage to get a pair of shoes.

DAY 4:

woke up quite late today. this is the last day of the tour. very sad lah. so fast the trip ended.haii

on the way back to spore, we went to a local product shop where we can get all the biscuits etc. i think everyone bought something here. most of us bought alot of things! and im like, spent almost 100 ringgets on those foodstuffs plus chocolates.hahas.

and it was really very nice of Mr liu(new swiss principal) to treat us to some chocolates to 慰劳 us sia. he asked the teachers to get some chocolates for the whole co and he would pay for it. nice right? ;]

after which,we drop by this organic park.


we saw lots of vegetables and yuping n i start talking about those georg terms...

"oh this is hi-tech farming"
"there's the use of sprinklers"

"hey, they're ploughing the land"
"there's the use of chemical fertilisers"

i asked,"why no buffaloes arh?" yuping replied,"hello. this is not rice cultivation hor. and somemore is hi-tech farming sia..."
and we saw alot of flowers and plants with very very funny names. haha


me with BBCO group photo. though i also have my fun in bbco, i still loved swiss co the most!

random photo again.

the plant that traps insect and digest it with its don't know what juice.
the dao you told us that if people are stranded in the wilderness without water, they can drink the water inside the "bag"!!!
eeewwwww. she even say got 营养 one. lol!
after the walk around the organic park, we headed back to spore.
on the way back, i thought of evything these few days and the moments of my sec school life. then i started to cry. cried so hard; cried so long. luckily i sit alone. so nobody realised that.

how time flies isn't it?
i thought of leaving my friends,co,teachers....haii. 辛酸啊~~~
