Woke up at 10, bathed, followed Anna to PS business school. Took the myanmar public bus for the first time and it was one hell of a ride. (in retrospect: yuan lai nearly all bus rides in myanmar suck.) Lol haha. Even the mini buses that I took in Indonesia last time is better in condition than the public buses here. Bus feels very unsafe bcos it's very flimsily constructed. There's no aircon, and I'm struggling to stay seated on my bus seat beside Anna -.-
She brought me to Dagon centre, and we had lunch at Happy Family restaurant. I ordered chinese fried rice and she got a rice salad which I quite liked. After that we went to the supermarket in Dagon centre 1 basement and I bought for the first time the cheapest mineral water in myanmar - 150 kyats for a 1litre bottle. Which is not even 20 cents SGD WTF. It's amazing how cheap things are here lol. At Dagon centre we bumped into Cate, Lixia, Mary and Klaus. I had been looking forward to the arrival of the "china girl" but well, she was quite different from my imagination. My first impression of her was that she's a bratty person. Lol. Me and Anna went by ourselves to get...her milk tea if I remembered correctly, and left the rest at some donut store.
We went to PS business school which is located in an old dodgy building. We went up the dimly lit stairs and when I entered PS business school for the first time, I was quite shocked. It's an MBA school, but it doesn't seem like an MBA school at all T__T. It looks like someone's big but dirty HDB flat lol T_T We went inside and saw the rest there. It was there that I first met Greg. I saw Lixia with all her luggages in the AIESEC office. I talked to her in chinese and we made conversation. Strangely enough people give off different vibes when they speak in another language. Like she sounded like a much sweeter person when she spoke in Chinese. I guess when people speak in their first languages it shows their natural self.
Anna, Lixia and I went to some cafe on the top floor of Dagon centre to have some food because Lixia was hungry. It was then that I learnt about her pickiness when it comes to food. Lol.
Anw when we got back to PS school she gave us some snacks that she brought from china, and I quite liked it.
The others then soon left while Anna and i stayed to prepare for the lesson. And guess what? Only one student turned up, half an hour late somemore. Maybe because of the rain, I don't know, but anw, I was quite surprised lol. How the hell did this happen? I felt quite disappointed because this was not at all what I was expecting before coming to myanmar.
And then I can't remember what happened after that lol.
