Yes, I’m back from my Thailand mission trip… I shall now provide you with more information on what happened…
DAY 1 (27.11.2007)
I was supposed to meet ann lin and Samuel wong to share a cab to the airport together with james lin. Dad came down with me and we waited for a cab for 20minutes. Can you believe it?!?! TWENTY minutes. Ann could not get a cab either. So we were both waiting and waiting to board a cab so we could pick the other party up. While we were waiting, sam wong called to say that he would not be sharing a cab with us cos he realized his passport had already EXPIRED~!!! Oh CRAP.
So I called a cab from silver cab (comfort cab could not get me a cab AT ALL. bleah~!!!!!!) and picked ann and james lin and traveled to the airport. Thank goodness we were both not late. I was late for group meeting but not late for checking in and all that stuff. Thank God that Sam wong managed to extend his passport. So so cool. Just as we thought that sam wong would not be able to go for missions, God paved a way out for him. even before missions God taught me a lesson – He could turn things around even when there seemed to be no way at all.
Ok. I cried like mad at the airport. I don’t know why. Just touched that daryl came to send me off ba. And just as I thought no one else would send me off, jas and peijun popped out. They bluffed me la~!!!! Sigh… it was a pleasant surprise though. Xunxiang and zixin and esther kept scolding daryl for making me cry. When he revealed he ponned school to send us off (aww… so touching), xunxiang, zixin and esther scolded him even more. It was so so funny. I would like to thank Eunice baobei, peijun and jas for writing encouragement cards for me.
cell mates and siblings in Christ. from left, xiao di luwei, daryl, ME!
my team - minus jie hau and wan xin.
no leaders~!!! WAHAHA~!!! run havoc~!!!
And guess who I was sitting with on the plane? ZHONGHUA (not the school). Wahaha. We realized our IC Nos. were almost similar. Other than the year and the alphabet, there was only a difference of one number between our IC Nos.. Both of us were also afraid of air turbulence. Then he told me stuff that happened to him in army regarding air turbulence. I kept laughing cos it was so funny. So, we became siblings. Quite lame, right?
my bro, zhonghua, having a bad hair day.
After clearing the customs over at Thailand, our team boarded the coach and sat at the cozy area (level 1) of the bus. I was sitting with cherie.
Dinner was at this cozy place with a nice toilet. According to ann lin, someone fell into the pond in the toilet before. So I was EXTRA careful when in the toilet. But, somehow, I witnessed someone falling into the pond! Ann witnessed it for the second time already. Oh man. The name of the girl shall not be mentioned. Poor thing.
TEAM 8!
the toilet pond. there were many ponds. this wasn't the "falling" pond.
TEAM 8 AGAIN~!!!
I did QT on the coach and went to sleep. I was tired and dehydrated. Cherie wanted to talk longer with me but… I was really tired. And boy, was I glad that I slept early…
zixin and esther's room - which became my room later....
