YO-YO-embrYO. I’m feeling all eggy inside. I think I ate too much omelettes for bkfast. xD The elephant camp was cOOl. I learnt a couple of things like each elephant weighs 3000-5000kg, it drinks abt 200 litres of water each day and it has to take its bath everyday otherwise it would feel uncomfy n aggressive. They llisten to their Mahouts I saw lots of elephants (duh) of many sizes n of many ages. I really enjoyed the elephant ride! I thought I would have a really rough time but it turned out to be a very relaxing n enjoyable ride. They gave me and my good fren Amos a bunch of bananas each, which were green n had black patches all over them. I didn know they were actually meant for the hungry elephant. No! I didn’t eat them la. Haha. I thought the bananas were like props for the photo that we could buy later. For 250 baht. U know, like that lousy flume ride in escape theme park where they snap a shot of yr goofy face n sell it for money? Yeah same thing. Wah heng ah this time lucky I remembered that its baht and not dong. I dunno why I keep mixing up these 2 lol. Hahaha. Okay so while on the elephant I turned back and saw Hayman and Arul throw bananas down on the ground for the elephant to eat. They were laughing and giggling as it really looked very funny seeing the elephant suck the banana up like a vacuum cleaner. I then plucked one out of my bunch and stuck my hand back. The elephant smelt it almost instantly. It raised its trunk to reach for it but I was too scared by its trunk/mouth/nose ahh whatever u call it and moved my hand away. Then my frens were saying things like, ‘Aiya don’t be so cruel la yangjin. Just feed it la. Eh stop it la yangjin.’ Hmph. So I gave them ‘the look’ before I reached down again and the elephant ate it. It was SO CUTE. Bit by bit I finished my bananas but not before I gave one to Andrew, who threw the banana which landed in the elephant poop. It bounced off somemore. HAHAHA. Oh oh before I forget that elephant’s are not like humans cuz they do whatever they want whenever they want and however they want in whichever way everywhere and anywhere. Haha u like that sentence? This elephant sneezed right at a group of pple when we were all seated and there was like a giant spray everywhere. Lotsa squealing. Then we watched an elephant pee. There was really a LOT of pee man. Its enough to clean yr father’s car with. Or the clothes of the teacher u hate most. Then we watched another elephant poo. Hey do u know what?? Whenever the elephant wants to crap, it will squeal super loudly then PLOP PLOP PLOP one by one the poop drops to the ground. Like giving a warning to pple watching that the smell might kill them like that. Oh that’s not all the PLOPS. There’s also a LOT of poop. PLOP PLOP PLOP PLOP PLOP PLOP PLOP. =DDDDD We were treated to an elephant show where they showed us that elephants are not so brainless after all. Haha kidding. They could move heavy logs, build with logs, obey their ‘mahouts’ n be good guai elephants. Then the elephant started painting with a brush. A BIG brush. After that we hopped on the bus and drove to the elephant hospital which was a stone’s throw away to see scik and old elephants eating grass. So poor thing. L We went for lunch! Which was pretty tasty esp their tom yam soup. Then we went to the mine. It was really boring. Okay so I will SKIP it. Phew. Ceramic factory next! They were supposed to show us around but they are closed on Sundays then Beaurhys and I saw the funny side of things and started laughing like crazy hahaha. The ceramic shop was very pretty it was full of colours. I bought a couple of animal figures and a piggy bank =D Dinner was really nice too. We had to cook our own dinner. U can pick what u want to cook too, from crab sticks, fish balls, big chunks of meat etc. etc. The teachers let us know that there’s also some edible food prepared in case we burn the food we cook haha. Me amos and rajat sat together on the same table and we really enjoyed throwing all sorts of nonsense in. I looked at the chicken wings on the cooked food table and greedily gobbled them up. Gosh it was so crispy and yummy and crispy lah! Well after a while we got fed up with the cooking and just threw everything in, even ice cream and rotten mushrooms. Haha. The teachers were dam blind. They were sitting like 2 tables away from us but they didn notice hehe. Okay. I’m done with day1! Goodness. How am I gonna finish my 7 day trip? ><><><><><. Byebyee..
