HELLOS!

i decided to be a good person and start posting about my vietnam trip ! haha
okie. its actually this youth expedition program overseas trip to vietnam Hue =))
main purpose is to go there teach lil kids english, interact with their people there and help the kindergarden build a hardcourt =)

1st day when we were there, almost faint . haha. cos the place where we were living was located at this kinda ulu place when we arrived at night and the surroundings were like forest. except for the road where our van came in from. haha. super quiet surroundings also ! girls all in a room except for the 2 teachers. haha. 1st night. a lil chaotic la cos we girls v alarmed by those creepy crawlies that flew into our room through the broken window. haha. yeah. no proper windows. and~ there was this beehive on the ceiling fan, in our room. haha. erhs. more moths, beetles, BEETLES and BEETLES! haha. cos all around the village clinic was dark, so insects are attracted to the lights in our room =( big fat green ones! haha. special thanks to queenqueen, cass cass , rong rong, minah and green apple =D haha. they are our warriors ! haha. cos everytime we scream, they'll come to our rescue =D haha. <33

the village has no street lamps at all. none at all =) and of cos, our clinic dun have any television, radio computer etc =)

hmm. other than the accomodation, this was a really enjoyable trip =D yeaps. definitely a memorable one la. and i've learnt alot of things. its the kind of experience that u need to go through yourself before you can really feel how it feels like =)

i think the people in hue village are really nice people =) quite different from the people in the city bah. in comparison, the villagers are much more warm i feeel =) haha. and i enjoy the long walks our entire grp takes tog every morning to the kindergarden =) according to ms auyong's email, we walked about 6km each day ! haha. but it doesnt feel tt long. talked crap talked crap along de way and we reached =D still remember how we'll always stop by bean's mummy's drinks shop before moving on =) and his mummy is a really nice lady la =)

kindergarden kids are like super cute k? haha. i love my lil viet and juen =)) they were the very first kids i approached the first day there =) haha. lil viet ah. dun see he sweet sweet on the outside, he's a lil monster! haha. no la. he's sweet in his own way =) <33

and so many other lil children that make my heart melts. haha. shall show u all through photos k. cos i'm really bad rmbering their vietnamese names, couldnt get the pronounciation right and the kids are always laughing at me. either tt or they jus sigh and stop pronoucing to me. haha. oppsie =D

we cooked our meals ourselves! haha. amazing eh? we survived ! haha. no la. we formed into our cooking groups and take turns cooking =) haha. i'm in team A ! =D with junjie, subaa, shaun, lester, and with cass as our leader and jiayong our house husband ! =DD haha. actually throughout this trip we realised how well guys can cooked too ! haha. esp during the preparation for closing ceremony dinner. the whole kitchen only guys. haha. cooking and preparing ingredients they bao ga liao =D 3 cheers ! *admire admire* =D
