lets see lets see. missions missions. what fun it was.

wow. 12 days really passed very quickly. 12 days, 288 hours, lots of minutes and way more seconds. it passed like a blink of an eye. i guess time flies when you're having fun...

we spent the first day getting ready, our minds, our bodies, our spirits for the upcoming "harsh" days. trying out the water in the toilets (boy it was cold), the rooms, and the food. i had to sleep at the side where it was the most dark and scary. stupid mark and joseph. force me to sleep there. then we went and bought stuff for the breakfasts... 1 carton of milk and 1 cornflakes, 1 koko crunch.(we finished it in 1 day) haha. joseph on the other hand. bought 1 box of oreos, 2 packets of fish thingys and lots more stuff ( which me and mark lui took from him :D i mean shared) night time was when we first met the school children and boarders (for me, weilin and debbie, it was meeting them again)

then saturday was quite fun la. bathing in the morning then devotions. breakfast was delicious fried rice. and then we had our "little lambs" concert... quite fun to do and prepare. we sang songs like "chirst in a vessel" and "king of the jungle".. haha we just got to know each other better. so nothing super fun happened yet.

sunday was the sunday service and youth service. nothing much, we played the instruments for the service, and had a gift exchange where mark lui got kodomo powder :D ahahha i got 4 glasses. lol. after that we played pingpong with the school children.
-note. on these two days, we made alot of friends. ALOT. haha. new ones too-

monday to friday was a mess of teaching. primary 1 to primary 6 kids. primary 5 and 6 kids are so TALL. >.< but. fun to teach. played hangman and pictionary with the older ones. and sang lots of "hokey pokey" with the little ones, and we did lots of action songs. like "head shoulders knees and toes" "if you're happy and you know it" ... haha. they all are super on la. you WILL NEVER EVER see this kind of enthusiasm (is this how you spell it?) in singapore. NEVER. we also did some small concerts to the kids. haha.
on these 5 days. i met pooh, pin, dia, firn, pha, pontip, and many more again. quite fun to see them in school again... they love to take photos. :D

saturday was the mass little lamb camp. 2 hours of us doing stuff. like playing "great wall of china" and "aliens take over the world" hee hee hee. and singing "chirst in the vessel" and "lord of the sunshine" i met Tek and Mic and Tu and Pooh bear. AGAIN :D so fun to have them there. then me and mark went cycling in the afternoon when we had free time. was quite fun cycling in thailand. until we got lost and ended up being chased by wild dogs. stupid mark, no sense of direction! haha.

sunday was the church service again. quite okay. oh weilin went to share her testimony on that day. then at night was the christmas concert. IT WAS SOOOO GOOD! fantastic la. way over my expectations of it. the church was overflowed with people.. felt so good to have witnessed it. :D oh after the concert was over we took some photos, which you would see in our photos. :D scandalous. haha.

monday was a rather uneventful day. just went sightseeing and stuff like that.
--thats all for the 12 days--

haha. but you see. half the fun was at night.
weilin started the pranking coz she tied a doll to my bed and i was super scared. coz i was journaling then mark lui was looking at his camera. then he was like. oh look at the cool photo of cheryl's twin i got (he then proceeded to switch on his camera to show me) and he looked in the camera and saw the doll staring at me. super scary.
haha. we got them back by hiding this doll in peipei's sleeping bag. and she screamed. :D
then the girls took the doll (named baby jesus) and tied it to our door. i opened the door and joseph got shocked.
then we made this scarecrow and tied it to their door :D (we woke up dam early to do this)
they got joseph back by putting the doll into joseph's bag. haha. i have a video of it.
then we hid under their beds and pulled their blankets while they sat on the beds. scared all except debbie... so sad..
then we decided to play 1 more prank on them. so while they were bathing, mark lui went into their toilet and threw baby jesus over the top of their cubicle doors. hahah teri screamed the loudest :D super funny. even the thais were laughing outside.

another part of the fun is the names: (courtesy of Mark lui)
