hawaii. the flight(s) there.

i don't think i can remember much of the flights i took to Hawaii, considering I left two weeks ago. whatever, i'll try my best.

so. after all the packing and bubblewrapping was done, went back to band room. and then ezbon borrowed my phone for some reason and stupidly left it on the floor. he told me, but i was a little busy settling stuff. when i got back, i found a scene in the middle of the band room: disaster had struck - cokro stepped on my phone. idiot ended up spoiling my screen. for the whole of hawaii. idiot -.-

got the windbreaker and roundneck tee. and then, we waited. left for the airport at about 2+ (am.) i bought three red-bean pancakes which i regretted later (i finished them by myself) and then i had stomachache on the plane. it pretty much became okay after a while. was sitting with ruien. i can't remember what i did on the plane. :/

got to narita international airport in tokyo. and we had seven hours to spend there :/ well, something like that. i really can't remember how i managed to lug my hand-carrys about (includes my bag AND my instrument) 'cause i walked for the most part. i remember hoisting the case onto my shoulder when my arm gets tired. anyway, i was pretty much drifting about and i went to this japanese (i don't want to say jap 'cause jap sounds rude) restrauant and ate er... noodles. but it was nice :D and they have this cool device that beeps and when it does you go get your food. got it once i made the order. tells when the food is ready. really efficient :D so, i had all the time in the world to eat. i commenced eating.

(the people there accept US currency. :D though i got back my change in yen. :/)

oh, now i remember. the toilet is DAMN COOL. :D at first i was a little scared of it because it had so many buttons. but i had to shit, so i used it anyway. i used the toilet's shooting water to clean my ass, but the temperature was a little too high for me, so i quickly offed it after a while. (i don't remember how i offed it.) at this point, i remembered i brought my peanuts off the plane and somehow the packet exploded in my hands while i was trying to open it - must have ripped it too hard. i felt really stupid at that point. but well, being the responsible citizen i am, i picked up the floored nuts and disposed of them and avoided eye contact with anyone.

so i was lugging my stuff about as i explored the airport alone (i had no idea how i ended up alone). i was momentarily lost, but they had a map stationed at that point which came in pretty handy. so i was drifting about aimlessly and then i bumped into benson, darren tay and peng yu. so i ended up exploring the rest of the airport with them.

(wait ar, i go toilet. :/)

and i went to the meeting point with half an hour (around there) to go. i was a little bored so i took out my geog textbook to read. then i fell asleep. so, it was another flight. i sat beside this Japanese lady i didn't know. ON TO HAWAII!

when we touched down we came down on the steps and not by the weird metal tube they have which is connected to the airport. anyway, got there and did the us immigration checks and the stuff which is just so confusing. so, eventually got through and then got lei'd!

kept my lei on throughout the busride. then checked into the hotel. room shared with viclaus, derrick and huayu on 5th floor (most of CHSSB was on 4th floor) then we were brought around. the beach was pretty :D the water was BLUE and not like S'pore's East Coast (water is green.) and then went through the convenience store called ABC store. so i went :o and i discovered like 5 different ABC shops within walking distance of each other. freetime after that, i remember i had lunch/dinner/whatever, so long as it was a meal -.- with shoki one of the hawaii days, think it was on this day. anyway, i really can't remember what happened, except that tzungern kept trying on the sunglasses in the ABC store. oh, whatever. i really can't remember what else happened on the first day, it was such a long first day. i think i'd just call this one day. i'll post about the second day soon :D nights people.

oh i think i missed the napfa trials today. it's too late to train up, considering i always fail broadjump and shuttlerun and that i can't do pullups. -.- well, expected lah. i've always been a mass of fats i suppose ):

i better bulk up before jc, i don't wanna be held back in ns for being fat.
