time passes too damn fast.
in a blink of an eye, badminton chalet, youth camp and mission trip have all ended.
its crazy, i tell you.
i'm finding it hard to keep up with things because they're happening so fast!

anyway, it seems like just yesterday when i stepped out of the sung teow onto santi ground again.
after 2 long years of waiting, reminiscing.
it felt so good to be back, so so good.
and at the same time a bit surreal. i could hardly believe that i was back.
santi is still the same, only that the store house next to the toilets was converted into a nice cemented house in which the girls bunked in.
as for the kids, everyone's grown up. they're all bigger.
mali's still as fat as ever though. som chat's taller but is still cheeky.
only after seeing his antics did i realise how much i had missed him.
ischta's located at wiang papao now, because yawba stepped down and moved.
she's so tall now! more matured looking and resembles my cousin, haha.
yawba's staying hot!
man, it was good to be back.

bonded a lot with shawn, joce and faith.
our own little clique.
star-gazing, slacking, working, chatting, singing, eating, everything was done with them.
i'm a bit sad that those times are nothing but a memory now, something behind me.
i truly enjoyed those moments -
when we froze our butts off lying on the mat watching the stars and chasing the dog away,
when i got you guys to pay me for eating the moth,
when joce got sick and we all cared for her,
when we KO-ed in the guys' dorm many-a-times,
when we had our chatting sessions huddling in the back of the truck,
when we caroled till we almost died.
when we held the bamboo strips to build the fence,
when we just slacked together.
i'm missing all those now. so very very much.
i really don't know how else i would've enjoyed myself without you guys.

as for mae ya min, the church is cemented now.
no more bamboo walls. there's a door in the front too.
and the inside has been segmented into a few rooms.
joce, faith, sab and i slept in the guys' dorm because there wasn't any space in the girls' dorm.
and we had fun with the guys, talking and joking around.
aruni's so tall now! and still as pretty, if not prettier. she is so gonna be damn hot when she's older.
ishak-gui's bigger too! and ohmygoodness me his looks should be banned because they're so handsome its hazadous.
he's so hot too.
how cool is that luh, their mother would be so proud.
i was really tempted to pack ishak-gui up and bring him home with me okay, because he's just oh-so-cute.
and everyone fell in love with him too. :D
i am so going up next year again, whether or not i have school.
if need be, i'll be a shawn and pon school HAHAHA.

i learnt quite a bit from this trip, though it was kinda slack.
since we had a lot of free personal time, i had the time to think about stuff.
i don't really know if one of the situations i'm in is good or not.
mixed reactions and all. sheesh.
anyway, God was really good to us on this trip.
He healed all the sick, and made things possible.
and He answered so many of my prayers.
God is good, all the time. (:

i hope i'll enjoy myself in new zealand tomorrow!
i'm starting to miss being in singapore.

i miss you.
