WHEEEE! (: im excited, and this is definitely not exactly how i pictured my first mission trip. the SERVE one wasnt counted, cos it was based in spore, one pastor once said that if its based in spore, its and outreach trip, and not a mission trip.
the trip i'd always imagined, was one where there would be lots of laughter and craziness amongst my closest friends, maybe not all, but at least ONE. yess, i'll always remember SERVE06! walking to ailing's house, laughing at tin's SUPER short and tight shorts, and georgie saying the teeko will come and grab him, and making me spit my drink out cos it was so hilarious. i'll rmb the guys carrying the pails from ailing's house to sjsm, looking mad, like kampong kids! i'll rmb geri jumping on jan and mx, sitting on mx! jac and geri going mad playing hong. i'll rmb the cleaning of the toilet and the trashing out. i'll rmb the tears, and definitely all the laughter, bananas, papayas, and my chempedak juice that looked like laosai. i'll rmb the prayers and in ALL (mingyang's) seriousness. i'll rmb the lessons, and the intensity of not talking, and just being silent for the whole day. i'll rmb hello pandas, thecooleest. why? because we named ourself after our staple food, and come up with crazy reasons like oozing for love for the world, like the cream(:
okay, the wonderful past, now its to the future!
we'll be staying at Big Luck Hotel , on 419adav Preah Monivong. WHAO. BIG LUCK. :D
