A “roller-coaster”trip to Bintan
The happiest day of my life was when i was going for a bintan trip with my friends.That morning,I woke up really early with a butterfly feeling in my stomach.I was so excited!My mother sent me to school where i met my friends and teachers who were also going.After my mother and i bade our teary goodbyes,i went into the school and made my way to the assigned meeting place.When i got there,I found out that i was not the first and most of my friends were already there,jumping up and down in excitement.After 10 minutes,everyone had arrived.We thought we could leave straight away but we were wrong.We still had to wait for the bus to arrive and that will take half an hour.We felt that was the longest half an hour we had ever experienced!
Finally the bus arrived and we boarded it hastily.We reached the jetty where we were supposed to board the boat.After another excruiating 20 minutes where everyone was busy going to the washroom and buying sweets and tidbits,the boat was ready for boarding.We lined up orderly and got ready.When it was my turn,i went through the routine body scanner,it beeped furiously and the women asked to search me.I was so terrified that i nearly peed in my pants.In the end,it turned out to be my phone which was causing all the trouble.
We boarded the boat excitedly.No one dared to stand up through the entire 50-minutes (no need the 's') journey as we did not want to fall down.We reached the jetty in Bintan and everyone alighted the bobbing boat.We passed through the custom and saw our hotel bus coming round the bend.We thought we were staying in a grand and luxurious 5-star hotel but we were wrong.Instead,we stayed in 2-star motel which was infested with cockroaches and lizards.We were so disgusted that we did not even dare to step in.In the end,my lion-hearted friend took out her pesticide and started spraying it all over the room.She announced the “all clear” and everyone timidly stepped into the room.We were still on high alert.
After that,it was dinner time and everyone went to the nearby coffeeshop for dinner.The food there was traditional and it tasted was very nice.Quite nice.Everyone was then asked to report to the teacher's room for a briefing.When we reached there,the teacher started talking at 100 miles per hour non-stop about our Socializing skills.We sat still at the floor for about 2 and a half hour before we were allowed to leave.By then everyone was restless.
In the room,we called our parents to update them and everyone sat down on the couch to watch CSI:Miami.It was around midnight by then and even before the show had started,we were already nodding off.No one bothered to sleep on the beds as we were too tired to even move an inch.
It was a valuable experience and i will always treasure it throughout my entire life as my first overseas trip with my friends.
