back

okay. i'm back from cambodia and china and have been extrememly lazy to blog. christmas is over. honestly i didn't feel any christmas spirit this year even though i was more generous this year. i bought more gifts for more ppl.

i don't really want to blog anymore about china. i'll just state what i can remember.
1. the beijing's soldiers are all really cute.
2. not much litter
3. in every guys toilets, there will be a male condom vending machine.
4. the temp in beijing chengde and tianjin was around -18degrees celsius to -23degrees celsius
5. scenery was beautiful
6. ice skating can be done without wearing skates. just wear ur shoes
7. all toilets in the city are equipped wil automatic sensor taps

stuff that i remember on the china trip.
i wore like 6 layers of clothes. made me look fat. the food was super oily but was delicious.went skiing. i perspired even though it was so cold. there were tv stars there and they were doing like some kind of documentary on snow sports. i think i may be on china tv. haha. even though it was cold. i felt warm but not when the winds blow. chilly winds.

cambodia trip

it was great!! it was like open environment air conditioned. i always felt cold. the winds were cold. nights and mornings were cold. the food there was so salty! i had the best time there. in phnom penh, we stayed in the hotel. i was saving my US money till the shopping day where i bought lots of stuff. haha. here's what i bought. 6 kromas, 1 book, 6 incense sticks and 2 DVDs. that's all i think. the only thing i was not used to was in takeo, cow dung and dog shit were everywhere. tons of insects too. i like the paddy fields.

the first day at takeo, i made a new friend. it's a guy and he's 6? i dunno. he's name is chew. he was very shy for like 2 days. but he opened up more as the days passed. on like the 3rd day,when we were doing visitations, he held my hand. haha. i wish i brought my camera to take photos. man! he's so cute. then there's this smart kid. he's 13. his name is nou(nul). he cried on the 4th night as somebody pulled his pants down. i mean like he's THIRTEEN. he was really smart.

don't think that cambodia,takeo is a old fashioned left behind place. it is not. the kids do play truant. they give excuses like their uniform is wet, their teachers are out at the paddy fields and they just want to spend time with us. haha.

shaun's little girlfriend was called liak. she's so cute and pretty. haha. on the 4th day, i told her that shaun likes her then she blushed. haha. oops. she held my hand too. she's a danity little girl.

kenneth had a little girlfriend too. don't know her name but i kinda stole her away from kenneth. haha. in the 4th night when she came running to me, i was like so touched and so sad that i'll have to leave her.

then there was pang and dou. both girls. pang was the one which wore the britney spears tee on the 1st day. she's really cute too. the dou was the one who skipped sch to see us. haha.

then there's ho. a guy. he keeps on stepping on our slippers, shoes, sandals. when shirely wanted to step on his slippers, she saw that it was already in a lousy condition, so she refrained herself.

the next time the next team goes up, I WANT THEM TO GIVE OUT clothes, slippers, hair accessories, stationery. not all but most important slippers. i know we can't be santa claus. but i really the way they smile and say thank you to me when i help or give them something.

during this trip, i felt that i have more that what i really need. those ppl in takeo can just be happy with their simple stuff. when my mother asked me what i wanted for christmas, i felt that i didn't need anything. before the trip i wanted an ipod but now i think i don't need it. even though i am putting up my wishlist but i think i don't really need it. i even have a silk blanket.

christmas day
SHUYI! i love you so much! why? because you came to MY CHURCH. i was so happy!

after service, we, YE, went for dinner at uncle meng wee's cafe. it was called MAD JACK. it turns out that about 40 ppl went. more than what moses expected. haha. it was great. at our table, was joanna me steph elijah mark n kim. haha. i had fish n chips. mark had baked rice and the rest of us had fish n chips too. but elijah had chicken chop. haha. when we finished, his food came. haha. in like 2mins later, he finished it all! we bullied him to serve us. haha. after dinner, everyone lazed around. my table talked. then played with the cards that paul brought. first they played bridge. i just watched. paul and elijah was good. then it was tai-ti. haha. i played first with paul steph n mark i think. haha. i wonder how paul shuffled the cards. in my hand, i had ALL 4 ACES!! and one 2 DIAMONDS and 2 QUEENS and 1 KING. wo. and of course, i won. haha. the next round, paul won. then i gave my turn to elijah. gerald joined in. he had a lucky hand and he won. haha.
