the nongkhai experience
oh wee! OCIP rocks. well, its so much better than i thought. to think i was reluctant to go. now i dont want to be back in singapore. i have to get started on (un)HAPPY package and issues & ideas sooon


I taught english in Ban Proah Primary School. so fun. first day we didnt know what to do but i turned out great.. taught P6 random stuff and played with them. wont bore you with the details. three hours of teaching straight. was quite tiring. kids were well behaved.

had lunch from the school.. ate their fish from the fish pond and their veggie from their garden. the fish was good. food was good. except the veggie, which we called "grass" for obvious reasons. they were raw and i think its the same kind of leaves you find decorating the streets of singapore. we didnt eat much of them, a bit wasted. but it was really bitter. they served us an increasingly smaller portion of grass everyday after which. perhaps they had plucked all the leaves from their garden.

after lunch we taught the P4s. oh my goodness. it was terrible! a whole hour of chaos. all because of yisin's name.. which meants sort of like 'maffia' to locals.. cos of some ancient popular chinese movie starring chow run fat..-.-" was a little demoralising.. but we pressed on.



second day was funn. was SPORTS DAY. practically played with the kids for the whole day alternating btw volleyball soccer and some malay sports that i dont know the name.. so dak koll or something. bleahhs. was quite charred that day. yayy. a tone darker and nearer to my past skin colour.

i went orphanage and disabled centre. quite an emotional experience.
i still rmb Bang. this kid who was seriously violent.. was kicked in the face by him several times.. then i carried him and threw him up.. haha. in a playful manner k.. im not violent..he was smiling
after that i heard that he was thrown down a building by his psychotic mother.. and the kids in the orphanages were found in the forests and rubbish dumps and back alleys etc. all we could do was give them temporal love and care..one boy couldnt even say goodbye when we were leaving. i saw him run away to cry..='(


we played soccer with basically everyone in thailand. the school, orphanage and disabled centre. we lost to all of them i think. haha. even the disabled ones.. they are so zai. haha. big deal they dont have one arm..
i had a taste of cheerleading though.. i played the drums to cheer for HC team in the disabled rehab centre. =D



was quite sad leaving the school. i cant rmb their names. i rmb their faces and what they did. i earn going back. it was so fun. each day was so fulfilling.


playing angel mortal game was fun. haha. but the frag game was funner!! I AM THE ULTIMATE WINNER after kiling david while pretending to be just awake from my sleep and asking him to help me add creamer to my teh. haha.
poor jasmine and i. wo men xiang yi wei ming. haha, her angel's my mortal and my angel is her mortal.


will upload the pictures soon..=D got this really cute xiao shuai ge..:D
