The day he found us!

Uncle Phil has been succchhhhhhhh a great host. Besides having a car which we used to travel around, he brought us to great places for meals and taught us so many things in life money can't buy. =) It's a pity we couldn't spend more time with him as he had to go back to New York, but the time we spent together was enriching and super fun, simply loved him to bits!

Richmond town is not located within the busy areas, and buses don't serve during the weekends, so it's pretty difficult to get around, but lucky we had Uncle Phil. We got to Walmart, which is the largest chain of supermarts in the world I heard!! And it really was super huge. Getting from one corner to the next will get you panting. LOL. And the prices are crazily low. Imagine 24 cans of Pepsi for only $6 ok! And 24 cans of beer for $4. -_- I don't know how they do it, but everything there is really so cheap, I think you'll exclaim "HUH??!?!!" very loudly! Cos that's what I did.... HAHAHHAAHA! So paiseh.

We bade farewell to Uncle Phil at the hotel, but it was a very happy one. We're going to find him at New York soon! HAHAHHAHA. Back at our rooms, we changed into running gear and gathered in front of the hotel for a warm-up, and off we jogged 1.5miles to K-mart! The 6 of us were so hyper-excited while jogging together in the cool sunny weather, it was great! We sang songs while on the way and reached there in a whiffy!

K-mart is also huge, about 2/5 the size of Walmart. We went in search of balls, and created a wreck at that section HAHA! We hit the volleyballs, tested the soccerballs, played with tennis rackets, golf clubs, and finally bought 1 volleyball and soccerball back to play!!!!!!!!

After jogging back, it was already 7 but still very bright. We played 3v3 volleyball then 2v2 soccer before a few guys came down to join us! The girls went back their room while we played 5v5 soccer till dark.

This morning is the day we report to King's Dominion for orientation. The day went by pretty fast and it was time to go back! We heard they'd be organising trips to Virginia Beach, Washington DC and donoe-what, so we're all excited about going these places.

I think the past few days have been pretty fun and fulfilling and really so so enjoyable. I hope it'd be just so when we start work proper. =)
