30th June till 04th July 2012 in Surabaya

The following days after the opening ceremony was really hectic as that's when the swimming meet starts. The competition days were from 30th June till 03rd July. Not many pictures were taken on those days as I was so busy working also. Pictures below shall dictate which days were they taken ^^


3rd day in Surabaya - 30th June 2012. 1st day of swimming competition. This is the reporting area and look at the spelling fail *LOL*
After our competition, on our way back to hotel, saw the icon of Surabaya which is behind the white car - shark & crocodile. Why is this the icon?!? Sura means shark and baya means crocodile. Thus the icon.

Also on our way back to hotel, saw this submarine monument which we visited a few days later

Another landmark near to our hotel. Why I took this photo?  Everyday when I go for work, I notice this worker is always cleaning the fountain :))
3rd day in Surabaya already we head to the nearest shopping mall which is just a 5mins walk from our hotel. According to Coach Jimmy this is to make the swimmers relax and that they perform well the following day. Here is Muis & Min with  Haagen Dazs ice-cream :))

4th day in Surabaya - 01st July 2012. Someone was sleeping in the bus on the way to work *LOL*

Another officer of mine who was also asleep in the bus

Swimmers had some fun in the bus while waiting for the Vietnam team. Karaoke-ing

Peterpan song =.="

6th day in Surabaya - 03rd July 2012. Was talking to our liaison officer and she showed us the itinerary for the 7th day (04th July 2012) *wwwhhhhheeeeee*
6th day in Surabaya - We were being treated to a luxurious buffet dinner at Sheraton. Thank  you so much Ahmad Isa (BASA President)
7th day in Surabaya - 04th July 2012. City tour as seen in the itinerary above :D

1st stop - Submarine monument

Information about the submarine monument

Entrance to the submarine

A Filipino swimmer testing out the bunk

So many turning wheels O.o

This still works!!! I have tried it and can see the road outside 

Those are real torpedos!!!

The end of the submarine

Group photo. Everyone salute!!!

After the submarine tour, we headed off to Mirota - a souvenir shp

Entrance to the shop

I can only take picture until here as no pictures are allowed inside of the shop

After Mirota, we stopped at a nearby money exchange centre as some of the Filipino swimmers wanted to change their  money. While waiting in the bus, I saw this plate on the road stable!!! Wonder why is it there *hhhmmmmm*

After Mirota, we headed off to Grand City Mall. One of the largest shopping mall in Surabaya. Had lunch there and I can't resist myself to take a photo of the Coke bottle. So unique ^^

Evening of the 4th of July. We had the closing ceremony where it was nowhere near fun at all!!! It was being held in an open air area and the food served are not even covered O.o I only managed to take picture of the fountain that kept getting us wet throughout the night. We left the closing ceremony early

This was taken without flash

We were quite hungry as we did not eat during the closing ceremony so we went to this place  for coffee ^^
