Day 4 - 13th Oct 05
Time passes in the blink of an eye. it was soon day 4. i had a very good sleep, having prepared mattress, sleeping bag(blanket), and pillow and jacket. hehe.. i woke up the latest i think. breakfast was bread with hotdog. mr tan was asking xinyi to form a 10 man volleyball team for the sports day, so she asked around and i volunteered.
after that was painting time. mrs hong wanted some of us to touch up the hall while the rest go start on the 2nd building. but the teacher say she ask the children go clean up the building first, so we continued to touch up. but it appears there was still alot to be done. i went here and there to paint, climb up and down. we also did the gloosy wood. make it look like brand new.. the paint smelly siaz.. like e glossy green paint. now left the exterior top part only, marcus and qiong ping was still hard at work. i tried to help them so i climbed the ladder which appeared to be very high.. got fear of heights.. so i came down almost immediately after trying to cheng qiang.. they're my ou xiang man.. played abit of volleyball with bichoi n jom n some of my teammates, hand pain. ouch!
went back for lunch!! fried guo tiao, very nice. got tan xing. singapore's one pale in comparison.i think should learn from the thais their cooking
went back to work. i dilly dally on the way there to buy ice cream. yam flavour again. 5baht yummy.. we shifted the stuff over to the next building, the nursery.. it was dilapidated.. urgh!! the bottom part is easy to paint, but the top part got alot of diamond shaped thingy very hard to paint. tedious work. halfway through pikul came with 1 sack of coconuts and chop chop chop for us to drink. pikul say she got stuck in the mud for abt 1h that why so late come. we kept painting and painting, the other group finish go back bath finish liao we still stuck in the scool, got rain somemore. joannie they all take my camera take pictures here and there. then i borrow her memory stick use.
we came back at abt 5.30 or so. i immediately went to bath. it felt so refreshing after a day of sweaty work. i have to wear the shirt again tmr also manz.. stinko.. dinner time we had to wait for some others. mr tan face black siaz.. when everybody came he started lecturing us say water tap left on, people not doing their duties, not punctual for dinner. haiz.. dinner was beef curry, some chix n veg. the dishes are wonderful, everyday different. thanks to our wonderful neighbour cook. lunch and dinner cost less den $5 per person.
we had a briefing after dinner and mr tan separated us into 3 groups for a sharing session. shi ying, germaine, marcus,joanne, clarice, juan mei and me were in mr tan's group. we went upstairs to talk. we really went into personal issues like family problems, friends problems, how we miss our family and how to appreciate them better. all of them cried (me 1 drop of tear -_-"). it was really a sharing session and very touching. at first i shed only the skin, didn't really go deep. but after all of them finished theirs, i felt i had to share... and i did. i wanted to share juz tt i didn't noe how to open my mouth, but finally i did it.
after the session we went down and some people came to hug us because they saw us crying.. our team took the longest i think. i had no tears, but qiong ping knew i was in mr tan group and came to hug me also... it was heartwarmin..we went to see jennifer they all try on their thai costume for the sports day. kinda fun, like parade like that. different poses for the camear, pretty babes.
now they are practising a thai dance. chimology.. taught by jang n ja. had to learn, tiring also they still not tired.. my hand twist and turn until so suan.. haha.. 12+ liao.. me going to bed yawnz..
