I braved up my courage and took the step to go for the trip alone. I'm glad I did.
It was a trip that I made so many discoveries about myself and how far I can go beyond my limits... tho it wasnt quite far a limit.Far....but not v far. haha. And with some luck, met some great and amazing pals.
It was a long journey before we finally reach the village. Flew to Guangzhou and then to Guiyang. Guiyang looks so dangerous. For a moment, i tot i was going to get kidnapped and become a slave for life in China. Took a train to Zunyi and then a mountainous n bumpy ride on the bus. And there we are, settled in a house on the third level with a small nice balcony beside the toilet shed, we embark on our program.
Village life is so carefree. I taught when there were classes in the afternoon. And then walk over to school. Sometimes after school, we sent the kids home and talk with them. And then stimes, we entertain the villagehead abit when he is over our place. The greenery and atmosphere is so nice that I got the energy to wake up at 7am and go for morning jogs. And the breakfast can even make me wake up at 7am n take the 20mins walk to the marketplace just to eat 豆浆油条。30cents. Slurp! I nv before and I dun tink I will ever do that back in Singapore. but stimes, it could be abit slow at times. n then find things to do. Games? Bridge? UNo? Daidi?or Mayb laundry? help out in the kitchen? or sometimes basically just stone or act crazy.
And I tink I became lame. I made so many lame comments that I am amused with myself. I was nv lame in Singapore.
The most amazing things there - Kids. If only my kid is as cute. They simply touched my heart. Their innocence. Their simplicity.
2-2 班。with me and peiying.

the abandoned cute preschool boy in school. can't help but let him into the class to do painting.
everything is happening too fast.
I tot i just came back from yep China. and still suffering from post trip withdrawal symptoms. with a dark tan that made me 'The Dirty Kid' of the team.
bringing back that heavy tan, along i carried my heavy heart with those emotionable and undescrible kind of feelings back home.
And to add on to that, I had to bring all those feelings to my graduation ceremony which officially ends my university days and in a bigger picture, ends my school days, my study, my childishness mayb?...haha..and then commences me into a brand new world, a scary world, with twigs and tongs.... ...
The beginining has just arrived. And I almost couldn't handle it.
My future. My emotions. My life.
Too much too handle.
