my brother is growing up!
he's going for a mission trip to thailand and has willing contributed $300.
that's so..unlike him.
i still rmb when lini.joey and i went for missions last year and i was stilll worrying for him.
sending last min texts to alvin to remind mark to take extra care of joey and to stay clean and healthy and not to misplace him cash and whatnot.
now,he's all grown up..kinda.
he's vice captain of his rugby team and he had to choose whether HE wanted to accept the MVP OR top scorer award.
sounds so bigshot eh?
haha.
kinda proud of him.
everybody go awwww.
haha.
NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD!
speaking of thailand,
i really do miss the kids there.
actually,i miss thailand!
alot.
went there for missions in 05'.
went to Roi-Et, this lil village which is a painful 7hr drive from Nong Khai.
i have pretty bad memory,
but it was sooo everntful it's hard to forget.
there was the freaky bathroom singing, and the temple ghost sighting, the very very hospitable church people, the lil kids, the great escape!, and so many other things.
lini shld know what im talking abt.
haha!
she was my roomie.
actually,she's almost forever my roomie.
haha!
but i really enjoyed myself and benefitted from thailand.
here are FINALLY some pictures.
pictures of The Children's Workshop Kindergarten coming soon!
the children look so miserable here cos they all wanted to take the picture cos they love the camera oh-so-much.
i wasn't gonna grab him.just wanted the photographer, ton, 5, a little boy, to come into the picture. haha. clockwise from the boy in the red shirt, waa, me, somm, mot1, peng,mot2.
this is my sweet peng.
she was my best 'phuen', friend in thai.
see the necklace i keep wearing when i was there?she painstakingly made it, bead by bead, for me. i still have it. and when i din eat breakfast, she made me toast with condense milk cut lovingly into a heart shapes. she and somm also moulded sticky rice into heart shapes for me too. so sweet right? she's very sensible too! when we din have a translator in our midst, she's read out thai for us too! even though she was soooo shy! and every time she sees me, she'll run to me and hug me and hold my hand till i leave.
my darling waa. he's 13 this year. the first time we met, he threw ice down the back of my shirt. throughout the time i was there, he just REFUSED to kiss me nor say 'waa rak yeni", waa loves yeni.haha.i kept doing that to him to provoke him but he always din do it back.till the day i was leaving, he brought my a cup of flowers he picked himself. crying, he kissed my cheek gently and said "waa rak yeni".
our translator. now that i look, she looks alot like furonda of america's next top model. ok ANYWAY. i had wanted to write cards in THAI for the kids to go along with her candy that i buy for them everytime i had the opportunity to. cos they REALLY REALLY treasure the candy ok? so anyway, i wrote the note in english, and she translated it to thai and i wrote it as nice as i could for the kids. oh my goodness, they were sooo appreciative it touches me.
ken and luwei at the roiet church grounds. they look kinda..cute-ishly blur right?
ah whatever.haha.
lini and i in COOLio najip ali shades. we were in some mall in thailand.
