for a lifetime.

i spent my past week in khao lak, thailand.
& i dont think i can descibe how much i have learnt and enjoyed myself throughout this whole trip.
but the images will always remain vivid in my head(:

haha the second time my school trip went wrong because of my luggage.
2 1/2 years ago i thought i lost my luggage when we reached shijiazhuang haha cause it was in some isolated corner :/
this time, one of the wheels broke! argh :3
anyway, the hotel was erm disappointing.
they said it is a 5-star hotel but turned it is only 5-star cause it's the only hotel in the area haha!
spent the first day sightseeing.
visited all the tsunami areas & threw white flowers into the sea.
after that the days were filled with teaching & the nights - debrief, lesson planning & reflections.
if we were lucky, we would play cards into the night haha(x
we also managed to play at the beach, attend xmas carnivals/concerts & eat good food!
phew i didnt jackpot though i ate like 3 ice-creams everyday haha!
simply love it when the slushy man/ice-cream lady comes over during lunch time :D
& the kids are all sooo extremely cute!
spent the whole day yesterday shopping(:
all of my 2500 baht gone! not a single coin left hehe.
alot of first times too.
played fireworks, lighted a kong ming deng, sat the back of a truck village hopped to distribute flyers for the carnival, use a lighter(:O) etc etc.
i really hope mr laurent will hold a bridge tornament at his house then we can all meet up and laugh tgt again!
& hopefully all of us can go back again after As! :DD

attended the khao lak trip briefing today!
really excited to be going on a trip with friends again((:
lunched at eighteen chefs with mok, lynette, clarice, sien, merri & xinyu hehe(x
the red&white sauce is good!
much better than the creamy mango one haha.
finally chose the correct sauce :D
anyway i bought this really cute lime green earpiece for just 3.90 haha(x
then left merri, sien & clarice.
after much(x infinity) discussion, we decided to go to 313@somerset haha.
hmmm i think i prefer ion orchard though.
after a few rounds, we plonked ourselves at food republic to talk!
like for 2 hours before homing with merri.

ARGH foreign invasion!

but definitely good to clear my problems(:
hopefully there'll be improvements!

class bbq today!
wanted to cycle/rollerblade but oh wells.
everyone was late :/
waited for one hour before mervyn & jess came.
went to get some stuff first before meeting the rest at pasir ris park.
it rained! )):
so we started bbqing in aluminium trays first.
liquid wax does do wonders!
maybe we should all use wax next time(:
then we shifted to pit 25 after the rain stopped.
that was so fortunate.
pasir ris park is so eerie!
we were at the pavilion and you can hear the toads coming nearer and nearer!
even at the pit too :/
when sien & i walked back to the pavilion, there were actually toads on the stone floor itself ewww.
let's just stick to east coast next time haha.
