i'm back from kukup!!! =)

it deifintely feels good to be home. The place there was great, i mean fancy living ON a swamp. When we first arrived, it was high tide but the load of rubbish was just overwhleming, though the people living there didn't seem the least bit bothered by the smell it was emitting. Anyhow, we had lunch at this seafood restaurant the moment we were there, and our bags were delivered to the "chalet" for us. "Chalet" cause it was kind of our home for the last 2 days but it was rented. Anyways, the place were HUGE. Despite being rather poor, the people there seem to own BIG houses. As in REALLY BIG, those that only the rich in singapore can afford.

So what was really cool about that place was you could tell when someone was bathing because water just gushes out of a hole at the bottom of their houses, and the people there were all watching singapore drama serials on channel 8, which was rather unexpected to me(maybe i'm dumb but ya) So we checked into our respective rooms and it so happen that the room my family took had no lights. =( well not literally but our room light was spoilt. Thus, we lived in dark for the last 2 days.

Basically, all we did there was LITERALLY EAT and SLEEP. Honest. AND, we were SERVED, breakast AND dinner. Dinner was bbq but all we had to do was SIT and wait to be served. Felt really useless there but its their way of making a livelihood so we couldn't really do anything. The portion though was way too much, the food was just overwhleming, i mean its just WAAAA.

Anyways, what i felt most memorable about that place was the toilet, the mudskippers, rats, crabs and the fireworks which we lit ourselves. WE MADE FIREWORKS!!! =))) it was way cool. i mean it was simple but it was scary. some of us were even shaking when lighting the fireworks. we practically RAN the moment we saw the sparks start. The lady who was hired by the owner of that house to cook for us had 3 sons i think. And on the bbq night, his oldest son together with his friends were teaching us how to let off the fireworks and seeing us tremble and run really gave them i good laugh i believe. There was this really special gigantic ball which the lady who sold us said we could hold it, but the guy advised us to put it on the bamboo pole and we did. Thank goodness no one held it cause the fireworks went in circles hysterically and shot out so much that anyone who've held it would drop it immediately.

About the toilets. everything just goes into the swamp. EVERYTHING. and it so happened i had my thing. i felt so disgusted. =X So anyways, i still love that place nevertheless and i recommand it to those who just really one a day away from the busy hustle from city life.

I stayed there for 2 days and a night which is a very appropriate period of time cause it was JUST nice. And you're adviced to go in groups of 10 or more because they rent houses which can accomadate up to 30 people i believe? at least the last time me uncle went with 30 people, they stayed rather comfortably.

i hope to go there again, the kids there(mostly teenage guys, little girls) are all rather friendly. Life there is simple, but somehow, i'm just glad to be back home again. =)
