DAY 3 - 5

From day 3 to day 5, for 3 consecutive days, we painted the school, below is a picture of what one of the classrooms looked like before it was painted.
Eunice overseeing the mixing of the paint.
Uncle Check and eric shifting the tables in the classrooms so we have space to move around and paint the classroom.
Pastor eric checking out the place.
ERIC.

Lol, can roughly imagine jenisse's mind is like "oh no, this is gonna be a tough mission trip!" lol. she handled it so well though. good job! :)
Daryl and timmy trying to peel off paper from the wall (its the 2nd most irritating job)
Pastor Ying, this is the pastor in charge of the church we were staying at. pastor eric, daryl and i played basketball with him. and i only can say one thing. his basketball skills, DA bomb.
painting!
and painting! (this is the hardest job in the whole project, stupid holes. my greatest sympathies to daryl joy jenisse tim and liesel who did the holes. i was a roller.lol)
and....
One of the days we were brought up the hill to get lunch, the lunch was just. indescribable.
look at eric, he's like digging the soup for more ! its noodles btw, i dunno what noodles, wanton and stuff, all the guys ate 2 bowls, and one bowl was already super filling, but the nice ness, sigh CANNOT resist!
on the pickup truck back to the worksite. the travelling back and forth on the truck was one of the highlights of the trip, LITERALLY living on the edge. SUPER fun. esp when it rains and the driver is driving at 120, oh my. EXCITING.
Painting again....
and again..
and again....well, we do get tired...and THEN we start slacking.... lol.
WE FINISHED THE JOB ON FRIDAY! now thats what i mean by fast workers! oh btw, if ur thinking we're mad cos gatorade is so expensive and we're all holding a bottle each, its cos it sells for less than one sing dollar over there.(gatorade in singapore is almost 3 bucks per bottle.) so we swept the shelves cos we felt energy drinks will help us work faster. im not sure it did. but it sure did taste good!
oh gosh. move aside backstreet boys! here comes baptist boys! The school after its painted. what a pretty pretty sight!

God was gracious as he's always been.
