day 16 winter holidays 2012

Crazily the night before I had said about making hokey pokey and cookies, so thats what we did this day. we spent the morning in the supermarket buying ingriedients for makign these things. there was no golden syrup or corn syrup, so we had to settle for honey to make the hokey pokey with, and that was a poor substitute.
after lunch we went to Penyengat Island, whch is famous for moskes and there are the old office buildings from the colonial period. we walked to the other end of the island and we drunk coconut drinks overlooking the rocky beach. OMG, its all sounding so romantic!
we spent about 3 hours there, and it was good to get to know each other better.
when we got back to Bintan, i bought my ferry ticket to Singapore, wishing I was staying there for longer with Ayu. we had a short walk through China town, to get Ayu some comic books.
when we got back, Ayu, demanded i have a shower, did i stink that bad? well it was actually getting a bucket and pouring cold water over myself.
the other kids had gone out, leaving young Luna, a loner poor girl.
i had taught the kids how to play fish that day, so we played a few games.
then Ayu, and me and Luna took a ride on the shitty public transport system to town, where luna won a bubble machine from this toy fishing thing.
later we took a walk and sat at a roadside cafe near the beach, watching the waves roll in and taking photos of our shadows doing silly things.
along day finished, we had done so much that day, so we crashed out pretty much straight away.
