HEY! IM BACK TO CIVILISATION. before i talk about mission trip, shall talk a bit about last tuesday. it was one of the happiest days of my lives in many months. haha. thanks a lot. sweet sweet(: okay. now about the trip. well, was actually looking forward to coming back when i was over there but when we were back, calvin, dan and i were feeling kinda out. firstly, our meal cost us about 8 bucks plus when the offering the church had for last week was just 46 yuan. that's less than 10 dollars! ugh shall just have a short update about everyday.
day one. had gastric. was pretty bad. went to the sch to look around and we saw a student reading the 4 spiritual laws booklet. we were all really encouraged. yea. the ride from the airport was full of weird smells. hmm..
day two first day of teaching. my group of girls were really for me. they were like me. agressive. haha. honestly, if i were to take teresa's group, i wouldnt be able to talk to them that much went to xi tou fa at one of the hairdressers cheap! and it was quite a good experience.
day three last day of teaching. we were also told that the movie which we were gnna show at night and relate to the gospel was gnna be cancelled cuz of the rain. i was kinda disappointed. but yea. had to use our only chance, which was in the afternoon to share. to be honest, it was my first time sharing the gospel, and it being in chinese, i really had a hard time. had to go through my photos, testimonial and then the 4 SL i knew that i wasn't prepared. and i shared with them, i was unsure of some of the things that i said. it was hard to express myself at the same time, i had to watch the teachers who were walking around. it was scary. and in the end, the teacher came to sit at my table and i had to quickly change topic and stuff. it was yea. anyway, i managed to share the 4SL but i was disappointed at myself for not reaching my potential. when the rest shared how thet were blessed, i felt worse. but at the end of the day, guess i did what i could. hmm..
day four SLACK DAY! we took neoprints at the photo shop hahaahaha. it's only a dollar!! haha. we went to the beach and took many photos. left chen dai for zhang zhou. big difference man. in zhang zhou, there were so many sports shops and stuff. and all the sports shop have similar logos. hilarous! we went shopping at the supermarket. ahhhh! everything was soooooooooo CHEAP haha. had macs for dinner. heehee it was really a day of relax for us(:
day five! went to the village church. really simple yet, could see that their love for God was really great. we did 3 songs for them. yup. the brick wall that they had at the church carpark collasped due to the rain so we helped move bricks. moved till my hands were swollen. but it was fun(: then we went to the village to visit some of them. it was really an eye opener for me. they led really simple lives if only i could bring them back to singapore. played a couple of songs at their houses too. it was really a joy to play(: at night..... it was happening man!! hahhaha. ya right. we went for a walk at night to look for macs not only did we not find macs, we got lost!!! i got quite grumpy haha but yea. we found our way back and got back at about 130am. we walked for about an hr and a half man. passed by many KTVs and people with weird hairdos. hahhah. then we watched soccer till about 4 and went to bed.
day six had troubled getting out of bed. headed to the airport and back to SINGAPORE! and surprise! some of the youths came to fetch us!!!! haha. i was happy. haha(:
guess there were many things i learned during this trip. though God didnt show me anythg significant, it was through the small acts through the people around me that changed me. also, the encouragement that i got for playing the guitar was.. great. yea. even though i know i cant play well, they were all really encouraging. thank guys! i believe we had many good memories. dan and his chai po with egg. think we ate that for 3 consecutive meals. haha. calvin and his marshmallow breakfast "this is one great party man" and "shen ai ni" teresa with her snoopy and mantous me and my lao da story. they super a lot of lao da photos. ben and his 3 SL dont know about the adults though. haha. guess i had a good time over there and i would want to go back there to finish up whatever ive left undone with the students. yea. anyway, math common test on thurs good luck to me. help! LOVES
