Day 2
had breakfast in the morning
than head down to the school.
its quite heartwarming to see the kids
and how they greet us as we walk down the path into the school..
we had our own thai lessons before starting on our work
we learn how to introduce ourselves and stuffs..so yupp

we(nat,peiwen,jon fong,jacob&i) went to teach the oldest grp of kids
they are all 12years old and yea.
it was kinda awkward at 1st cause we couldnt really communicate with them
but luckily, we got master Lek(the teacher incharge over there) to help us with
the introduction and stuff =)
so yupp, everything went smoothly.
we taught them english,chinese and origami
i feel kinda bad cause we taught them how to fold paper hearts halfway
and we couldnt finish it cause we didnt know how to carry on and its thier recess..
i made new friends with this grp of 12boys.
jacob and i call them our brothers =)

went back to the resort for lunch and took a short nap
before going back to the school and start work again.
when we went back, i saw my brothers doing our work(gardening)
i feel kinda bad cause we are suppose to be the one helping them and not the other way..
so yea, went over to help them.
i swear its a freaking tough job..kinda look up to the kids
cause them had to like maintain the school themselves and all those..
and i kinda figure out tat the oldest boys in school meaning the 12year olds
have to like do "household chores" in school..
like sweep the floor,paint buildings and all those..
and the oldest girls will have to look after the kindergarden kids.
so yupp..i guess thats thier system in skl..
you can always see the last class empty cause everyone will be out doing stuff..

at night, after dinner...
we were made to learn the friendship dance thing
cause on friday is the last day we will be with them..
(last day because, noone goes to school on WEEKENDS!)
even though we are coming back on the sat..
so yupp its kinda fun and i really cant wait to dance with them =)
song: As we walk to the left,
As we walk to the right,
As we walk,as we walk,as we walk all night
With a heel and a toe and a half a round a turn
With a heel and a toe and a new friend found =)

Day 3
went to school, more thai lessons =)
and we got to learnt thai dance =))
Master Lek and Kun Albert were teaching us the dance
so yupp, went to teach another class =)
i think this time the kids are like 9 or 10years old
so yea, communication was even more difficult
we let them do some colouring,origami den brought them outside to play
cause we dont know what to teach them anymore
played soccer with my brothers and
lunched at resort again,napped den went back to school
this time the teaching grp went to paint the play ground
my brothers came to help..so sweet =)
and mai(naughtest boy) gave me something like ice-pop to eat
so sweeet =))

Day 4
today is e offical closing ceremony day
we had a soccer and volleyball match, fmss against the kids
i was in the soccer! =)
it was fun playing soccer with them
and my brothers are super good in soccer
all the lack is just a bigger body..
i swear their skills are better den anyone in fairfield maybe because they play everyday

after the match, we gave out presents..
the kids all just came n snatch my sweets =/
its abit scary, but cant blame them..
i'm glad tat i didnt cry =)

i'm just sad we didnt get to do the friendship dance =(
cause we were short of time

Day 5
went to visit the deathrailway thing..
its kinda sad to see how the ppl suffer in WW2
den went to visit the farm
apparently its one of my brother's house..
in other words he is the cheif of the village son and his name is an
aft that went for lunch back at resort den napped again
and went back to school
went to do some painting and stuff..
gave an my hp number but i dont think he'll ever msg me..
when we are going back to the bus..
te(my favourite kid) gave me a soft toy keychain and a paper heart..
and i started crying.and i know i kinda shock the kids and ppl ard me
cause somehow i gave them the impression tat i'm those tat will
NEVER CRY..but yea.everyone got thier soft side =)
i wouldnt have cried if noone gave me anything
but yea this are the reasons why i cried even though i told myself repeatly i wont
1) the kids are not rich but Te still got for me a soft toy
2) rmb the 2nd day when i said that we didnt managed to finish teaching them how to fold the heart?well, they took the initiative to go figure out how to do it.
those are the reason why i cried.
you might think chey like that nia..
eh but its e thoughts tat count.

so yea.i really didnt want to leave the kids..
i started to go round hugging the kids and
cheryl had to push me bus the bus =(
i so wanted to come down the bus again but decided not to
in case ppl will start to think i'm being dramatic.. -.-"

at night in the room, amber n i kept crying
but in the end we laughed cause we did something damn dumb
so yea..it's the last time i'll be seeing my kids

oh and i officially announce Te is my new boyfriend!
even though its a one-sided thing XP haha
