Hey actually i didnt really feel like blogging but after seeing how long i haven't blogged...hmm:P
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!:D whee i love christmas.even though this year's christmas been pretty boring but oh well.
anyway this is a bit late,but chiangmai OCIP was great!what nice days spent chang kul-ing, shovelling, making cement at the worksite and the 100000 different varieties of insects that we saw.its like animal planet la.oh and the 100 times i fell into the river and had to grab everyone arnd me oops.which reminds me how elissa and i had to evacuate our hotel room haha cos we stupidly dumped our WET and GROSS shoes there and afterward it was too stinky to sustain human life.
and i remember i was quite scared of the irritating BEES that keep trying to fly into ppl's ears,until i discovered the best way to be safe from them is to stand beside ppl like zuojin and vincent and ELISSA cos bees love them.i will never forget SOMEONE running around in crazy circles to get away from a bee^^
what else was memorable about the trip?erm 4 stitches but lets move on.it was nice making new friends:) i liked cooking in the outdoors(even though everyone got scared when i went near knives),the cool weather and great scenery on the hills,bathing in the freezing water,sorting out veg with worms crawling in and out eww and then not eating veg for dinner that night,working with my group mates,the time a funny person screamed WORM! at a snake,doing laundry with a rubber glove,having longlonglong gossip session with pan and palm and gaochong while pretending to cut fruits,sitting at the uneven wooden tables together and writing our journals by the light of kerosene lamps.whee and it was fun blowing them out after we were all done journalling:)
and damn weird la the way all yasi's exclassmates keep saying we're like the same.like EVERYONE FIVE MINUTES choonyee or amanda or someone will be like,"omgosh chiaming!you sound exactly like yasi!i thought u were yasi!so scary you two so alike!" aiyo.its terrible YASI YOU STOP COPYING ME LA YOU:P:P
oh i also remember very clearly the time we woke up to go pee and JACKLyn THE SMART made me think it was snowing.i was so excited!!and we were like,OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH HMM I WONDER WHY THE SNOW DISAPPEARS WHEN WE SHINE OUR LIGHT ON IT??aiyo lousy larh you:P
i loved watching stars every night and i remember my amazement when i first looked up into the night sky.when i find myself standing in the middle of such incredible vastness i know that the universe is big and my problems are small.i loveee the feeling too bad it disappears the next day hmmmf.
on campfire night we all lay around on groundsheets and watched shooting stars it was such a lovely night!:) andandanddd someone was being very funny and couldnt see like any shooting stars HAHAHA. ok i should not laugh at others.
i think this trip was some hard work,some service and some learning,lots of FUN WHEE:D esp with this FUNNY PERSON who does all sorts of funny things HAHA actually i feel quite lucky that hes in our grp dont u elissa:P it was a good experience even though not everything went the way we wanted it to,and people got upset at times,and i discovered some stuff that made me like some people less and others more.and hmm sorry for being short tempered sometimes.
wow im finally done.yupp so just wanna say that im glad i went on this trip with you all:) next year we go backpacking k!IM EXCITED ALREADY:D
