this post will finish up the series of posts chronicling the 8 day mission trip i went for.
so after we finished the painting job, we could actually relax and enjoy our weekend!
eating lunch and chilling out.
sitting back and talking MOSTLY about NS, you see, when Eric, PASTOR Eric and Uncle Check come together, besides how faithful God has been, there really isnt much to talk about except NS, which in itself is a wonderful topic. lol.
high chance they're also talking about the army here.
then we were brought around and we visited this church.
and this cool school, this is the hall, i cldnt be bothered to take pictures of the classrooms.
this is the scenery behind the school, what a beautiful picture eh.(YES it wld be made better without me in it, thats what all of you are thinking right? :) well God still loves me.)
Pastor ying used to be a drug addict and this is the drug rehabilitation centre he was in and where he was converted.
hmm, i thought it was good to take such a picture, so natural, nobody wld ever pose like this.
then we went to golden triangle, its the place where myanmmar, laos and thailand are all at the same spot.
the left is myanmmar the right is laos and where i took the picture is thailand.
the spot where the 3 countries meet is where we were at.
lol, i wonder who would ever buy a HARD drink. must be frozen.
we also went to the hall of opium, its a super well designed museum that talks about the history of opium, how it became a drug, the opium wars, etc etc. very interesting.the museum is in a journey format, showing the history in order and at the end of the "journey", the guys all saw the toilet sign, so we were thinking of just going toilet to make liquid gold, then when we entered, we realised it was a PROPER toilet, like you noe the ones you have in NORMAL shopping malls, we went mad!(go back to the previous posts to see the toilets we had previously been using)
Suddenly all the cubicles were being used and before long, lots of solid gold was made. it was the hardest i had laughed all week.
modelling.lol.this was taken while the truck was travelling at like 120, so u can imagine how strong the wind is,i was almost blown off! which is why i wanna be 80kg, so wind cant blow me off!
this pic of tim is the bomb.
this picture of liesel is DA BOMB.
superwoman!
then we went to this flower park, it is said that the queen she wanted a flower park built and the govt IMMEDIATELY got it built. cool eh. we are INSIDE the clouds!!!! oh my i was so excited, i was screaming like a mad cow. that was how high up we were.
this was on the way back to the church from the park, it was raining, we were freezing, that is the most enjoyable pick up truck ride of the entire week.memorable.
other random photos. check it out man, i've heard of the phrase "better be safe than sorry" but this is ridiculous.
the 2nd last night, all looking tired and shagged out.(lol its posed.)
okay okay okay, i love this part, this entire house, and yes its quite big, was built by ONE MAN, OMG, thats not the end, he did it with A PARANG, the straw thingy and BAMBOOS. so no metal, no wood, NOTHING. THATS WHAT I CALL CAPABLE.
sunday service the thai kids performing an item.
and then we went back to the school to take model photos, it was so hilarious, ps eric and eric were like art directing everyone, how to stand etc. lol. madness.
joke man....lol.
oh i love this picture, is that photography or wad. gosh. ive got a future man.
we needed to be at chiangrai airport by 6 so we had to wake up at 4 and leave the place at 4.30, so this is the last picture of our room while we were packing up and getting ready to leave. oh my. im starting to feel sad already. i really miss the trip man.

i LOVE THIS PICTURE, and yes I AM THE ONE WHO TOOK IT, i really shld send it in for competitions or sth like that right. omg. click on it to see the enlarged version, its so beautiful. got the water droplet down there summore. bomb la. and i took it with my HANDPHONE camera! :O i love my phone.
we'll be back.............
i actually was feeling abit homesick on the last day, like miss my frens and family and my bed and just singapore la, it felt so good to be back i tell you, but all of a sudden, everything seems so weird, for the 8 days we always sat together, girls and guys, and just talked and laughed, and we really connected alot, then all of a sudden, on monday night, im sitting on my bed, staring at the ceiling, i hear nothing. no crickets sound, i see nothing, no moths flying around.i feel like a long dream has ended, i have just awoken.
even though not all the memories were sweet, i'll go thru it all again, just to remind myself of what God has taught me.
Hebrews 13:5
I will never leave you nor forsake you.
