it's XMAS today!
decided to blog since i have nothing to do.. hehe.. (":
thinking about the kids in chiangmai, wonder if they are having a wonderful time too!
somehow their happiness seems to come from within themselves unlike city kids like us who derives happiness from other people, other objects etc.
watching them play at the river, jumping into our mud pits, climbing all over us how rejuvenating can that be.
though i came back home with sausage fingers - all swollen and itchy,
but this trip was superb!
just a 1.5hr drive from chiangmai city area and the surroundings can be so different!
coming here just makes me want to forget about singapore, forget everyone at singapore, forget everything that i had back in singapore.
so it was just the park, the elephants, the stars, the rivers and me.
when was the last time you wake up to the sound of the rooster..
when was the last time you felt damn awake after splashing your face with ice cold water in the morning..
when was the last time you walked by the park and you see animals so up close..
when was the last time you ate ice cream, took a slow stroll and truely enjoy the taste of it all..
when was the last time you toiled hard under the sun but had no complains..
when was the last time you played by the river bank and let the river waters carry you downstream..
when was the last time you sat by the bonfire and just chill with a glass of sang som (some thai liquor)..
when was the last time you slept under the blanket of stars..?
i did that all for the last 2 weeks!! *happie*
so glad i plucked up all my courage to go for this trip!
definitely one of my top 5 moments in smu!
shiok to the max! woohoooo!
people there are nice, food is good, view is just breath-taking!
can't believe i cried when we parted with the people there. i've learnt so much from them.
no complaints- just do- spirit
though i almost had a near death experience, suffered some scratches and a few bruises, but i guess we are all safe and sound back home. (:
now i just hoped that my sausage fingers can return to its normal shape again :P
hope to go back there again with some friends! weeeeeeee...
give u all a taste of chiangmai first! wait till i get all the pics from my teammates!
.CHAOTA-FIED.
