HAHAHAHAHA... its e dog in e first home we lived in when we were in e village... there r super alot of dogs in chiangmai... there were 3 dogs in this home we lived in!!! (excluding alien who's favorite irritation target is kind dog)

pastor writin e songs on paper, somethin which we last did in pri sch... now everythin is computerized n we go arnd flashin ppts n charts etc... no wonder his handwriting is so nice, like a paintin... n mine is horrible as u can c from e background hahaha... =Pp
xm tryin to take a group pic but captured onli vin n me in e end wif xm's rite eye hahaha... we got on e back of e truck to practice our songs cos couldnt find anywhere to sit arnd... everywhere is sand lor hahaha...

our first meal wif e thai youths. everythin is on e floor n we juz sit arnd to eat... hee... e thai pple r super polite... they wouldnt go into e kitchen n we realised its cos they wana let e guests go in first. so when we sat down then they sat down n when we start eatin then they started eatin... one thing we dun haf in our culture ya... this is reali gd practice...

when e headmaster announced dat e programme is startin, all e kids took their own chairs from e classrooms n filed out to place em in neat rows on e grass field n sat on em... we were like 'waaa so obedient!!!!!' yes they yakked n yakked along e wae n it was v noisy but v cute e wae e kids were tokin to each other n yet still quickly performin their tasks... u think kids here would b lidat meh? i seriously doubt so... even xm, e teacher, was shocked... =Pp

this is how they were seated n none of em complained abt e sun n sulked... over here, u think they would even sit in e sun fer 5 min n not whine? e thai children sat there n participated in e songs n dances we had fer em n there were nothin but smiles n laughter from em!!!!! =)))

e wae they play games r aso super nice... they enjoy e games n not like children here where there will b some rascals who either dun wana participate or bully other kids if they r slightly slower etc... it was such a joy to c such innocence n exuberant joy flowin from em... =)))
vin n li jie givin out e presents. i cant stop praisin e thais rite??? hahaha... abt 90% of every child will thank us b4 we give em e sweets!!!!! it was a pleasant surprise n we were so v impressed by them. actually near e end of e lines, we ran out of sweets n e children behind had half e number of sweets compared to e children in front... then li jie n i were bracin ourselves fer childrens' whining n complainin n sulkin, but there was none!!!!! they were satisfied wif wat they had n didnt get angri at y they had less... wow!!!!!
