Once upon a time there were 4 girls, Wai Han, Eveline, Tianyi and Brenda.
They study in Cedar Girls' Secondary School in Singapore. One fine day, they were told that they would be going to a little
land called Malaysia and staying in Kampong Parit Bugis. Excitedly they sat in the bus, not knowing what to expect..
When they finally arrived, there was a little 'banquet' held,
with fantastic music and the best of kueh.
They couldn't help but wonder what better things lay ahead.
To the four girls' delight, the house was a lovely
and cosy place. Inside was well furnished too, but in a manner that they had never seen before.
More charmingly new things awaited the unsuspecting girls.
The usual bulky cars were now replaced with handmade farm vehicles. The biggest discovery
they made was that delicious food tasted so much better when eaten by hand!
In wonderland, there were countless of places to visit, like the
magical golden pineapple jam pancake kingdom, the endless stream teeming with seafood and such.
However, all that travelling could really exhaust one.
Poor white rabbit Tianyi had to get some shut eye.
Worse still, it drove dreamy Brenda and mad Eveline much madder
than before.
Queen Wai Han also suffered her share when it took a toll on her
dampening her cheerful spirit.
Still, they had a ball of a time. Best of all was the great feasting
in their little chamber!
Sooner than expected, it was time to return home. White rabbit Tianyi, mad Eveline
, queen Wai Han and dreamy Brenda learnt a lot and enjoyed their stay in wonderland immensely. However,to part with the
kind,lovely and very kind people was something that pained them.
Then an idea struck them! They decided to compile their experinces
with pictures, comics and many words. This blog is their heartfelt thoughts that is dedicated to the memories
of the delighting culture, host family, food and bonding they shared- celebrating that piece of wonderland forever.

DAY 2 The 4 girls woke up as early as 6.45am (?) to prepare for the day ahead. However, White rabbit Tianyi still lied on the bed, reluctant to wake up. Queen Wai Han thought that she would be the last to wake up as she LOVE to sleep. They had beehoon and Mee Gorang as their breakfast. At 8.30am, the four girls gathered at the Village head's house (?) and they went to have a cruise down Muar river (?). They took photos and then they had batik painting. After so, Queen Wai Han spent 30 ringgit on junk food and kept on eating chips, knowing that lunch was straight after that. Due to this, Dreamy Brenda thinks the NPCC cadets all eat a lot. Queen Wai Han did not manage to eat much during lunch and Dreamy Brenda offered watermelon to her. However, Queen Wai Han HATES watermelon because it tastes like juicy ice to her. They really had fun communicating with the STF pupils. They went back to the kampong and learnt ketupat weaving and top spining. Queen Wai Han was so smart (AHEM) that she got a hang of it. Finally, they went back home. They bathed and ate dinner with the host family. Then they went back to their room to rest. The 4 girls were so bored that they played cards, which Mad Eveline brought. They played India Poker. Dreamy Brenda changed her card from a 'king' to a '4' and became the loser of the game. Out of the sudden, while we packed our things, we realised that Mad Eveline mixed her soiled clothes with others without using a plastic bag. Queen Wai Han asked her to smell her soiled clothes and she really did because she is mad. They ate a lot of crackers. Then suddenly the daughter of the family entered the room and she got a fright because the room was really in a big mess. She gave each of us a cup and we exchanged our gifts with her. The four girls were so tired that they slept at approximately 11.30pm (?). WAIHAN :)
