yay!!!im finally back home...i dunnoe why but i keep using the words mixed emotions in whatever i write like my journals and stuff. but at the airport yest i almost got emotional, felt sad that i was actually leaving thailand after having enjoyed the time amongst such a wonderful grp of people.
and yes, i did promise photos but something damn unfortunate did happen, my camera lens got spoilt along the way, so the camera became more of a liability than anything...
well just to summarise the trip in total, we hacked soil for the garden in the kindergarten, we dug up soil from the drains. we taught the kids different things like chinese art english etc...we even helped to paint an orphanage, which was an extremely difficult job. their opening is tmr. lets hope everything goes well for that orphanage.i guess i will really miss the place and i will keep the memories that ive experienced deep in my heart.
we also saw the sunrise on one of the mornings. the initial feeling was just 'wow' as i sat there witnessing the sun rise, signifying the start of a new day.
i have said this and i will say this again, i guess the most memorable moment would be when the whole group of us were singing in unison the song 'tong hua' during cultural night, which was a very heartwarming exp.i just wish that time could be stopped at that very moment in time. well the second one would be when we piled up onoto a picked up truck with some girls where we would sing songs like thunder, fall for you and when you look me in the eyes, thats also something i will cherish. i dunnoe why but i guess i will miss the way the children are so innocent and the way that they start their day by singing songs and dancing and how we guys and girls led the ahs zao cao for 2 days. the kids there are really great in the way that they are active, they even recite bible verses in chinese. its hard enough to memorise it in eng, but chinese is like wow again.
the last two days we went shopping at the chiang mai night bizzare... fun exp esp looking at the t shirts with weird slogans like " im shy (and in fine print) but ive got a big dick"... i mean we were all laughing our asses off.
talking about the conditions there, they were much better than i could have ever imgained...flushing system and nice floor tiling . food was relatively ok... porridge every breakfast, otherwise there were nice food such as tom yum, green curry and whole host of other dishes.
on one last note, i guess all these memories i will cherish. now we look forward to the final stretch of our four years in ahs...back to the homework that has been laid out in front of us.
;Trust me, we all want to look like Ronald McDonald now.
