Exchange Programme with Batam Raya Mosque Part 2

Now i am having my break for 2 hrs while waiting for polymer processing lecture. I use this time to update on my day 2 of the Batam trip...

Day 2 (sunday)
I did not get sufficient sleep. I only slept for 2 hrs. After waking up, i went for subuh prayers followefd by breakfast. I had Bubur Kacang with bananas... It was yummy. It's different from the singapore version, where we use gula melaka as the syrup. Instead, i think it's either they use milk or coconut milk. After breakfast, Young Sultans & Bata youth continue the day 1 discussion. After that, we decided to play some games to entertain them. We play chop chili chop =D, blindfold game etc. I must say that they enjoy themselves with the games. After games, we had the closing ceremony, where both the youth grps gave final address. After everything, bro beni gave us some token of appreciation. After the whole thing, had doa perpisahan. That's our way of bidding farewell with them. After that, had lunch & zohor prayers and we left the mosque.

Encik Fuad decided to bring us to Nagoya Hill Shopping ctr since we nvr been there b4. I also get a chance to see the Batam life. I see Tunnel, new houses, kampungs, etc. The Batam now is not as what u think in the past. Abt 15 mins, we reached there. The complex was so huge !!! Btw, the place is owned by a singaporean !!! can u imagine that ??? We as a whole shop together to find cheap deals. The price for some of the items there was generally affordable to us. First thing that i bought was cone chocolate HIGH-Class ice-cream (abt $1.50) !!! Then, we head to A&W for lunch !!! I had a great feast, comprises with a meal includes root beer float & the waffle with ice-cream !!! YUMMY !! i was full by the time i ate the waffle. After that, rounds of shopping b4 we head to a typical fruit shop to buy avocado. I felt strange as i approach the shops. The young kids approach us & ask for money !!! I was like... blur & uneasy coz they keep asking for $$$$$$$. I have no choice but to tahan. Then, we went back to batam ctr to go back to spore.

After asar/magrib prayers at the batam ctr, we realised that we have to depart from singapore at 1830 Batam Time. But then, we did not want to rush back. so, we only left batam at 2030 BT. Then, we have another 1 1/2 hrs to shop at the mega mall. I bought a t-shirt that cost only $7 plus. I also buy a dozen of doughnuts, which costs $5.35 plus !!! Damn cheap. Cheaper that msia. We went home by boarding the ferry at 2030 BT & arrived at spore at 2230 ST. Itwas already super late & i went home via bus 97 & 198. I reach at home at 11.45pm. I was so tired on that nite.

Yup, that's abt it. Later,POPRI lecture + captainball training... =)
