It was difficult to stay perfectly clean and hygienic throughout the stay in the village due to the muddy soil everywhere and some form of inconvenience of washing. Infact, it would be troublesome to want to stay clean all the time. In the end, you will just give up abt stayin clean. Will not forget how Caixin laugh at me after spotting dirty marks on my hand even after my bath and wondered whether I had really done my shower or not. hahz. Quite embarrassing but funny. haha. Aiyar with the dark cubicle and icy cold water in the nite, how to bathe clean lehz you tell me? ;p
My first time witnessing and helping to build a check dam right from scratch. Digging soil, filling them in haversacks, carrying and stacking stones, cutting and inserting wood pegs etc. I enjoyed eating our packed lunch under our tent in the rainy weather with our hungry stomachs and drenched and stinky clothes. The food just tasted especially delicious.
I like the loud siren sound of the flying animal (lumur?) that we heard in our night trek in the forest. It was so distinctively loud and clear. I hope to have a chance to hear it again and even see how it looks like. The dark in the forest indeed has nothing to fear of...the only thing you should want to fear is the presence of other humans.

I had quite alot of mosquito bites on my legs and hands and also on my forehead. Now left the healing marks. Quite ugly. haz.
I am loving to eat vegetables. We eat them almost everyday. So crunchy and nice!
The kids here are all "lork" (handsome) and "swuai" (pretty), really !! Will remember some of the especially cute kids which of cos include Kana Por! I also cannot forget the eyes of a lonely yet smiley girl who is always alone with herself and never dare to speak up and play with other kids, due to her family background. I can see that she desires some attention and affection from the ppl around her but yet scared of intimacy with ppl. I dunno how to engage her in mixing with others as she just seem to prefer to observe ppl play, seemingly in envy.. The least that I can do is to hold and hug her to show some her of my attention...
I appreciate the presence of every individual member in the group. Each of them has in one way or another made my stay a pleasant one. Different personalities come together to bring sparks to each other. I've learnt much from them. Everyone has been cooperative and easygoing.
Many of us went for full body Thai massage in town on our recreational day. Quite an experience and pretty fun as we all are stationed together in a big room, experiencing the same thing.
When I am back home, I suddenly feel that I don't wanna live with the existence of the television and the computer. They had simply made life busier and complicated, somehow....haiiz.....
I think I have written 'ba lep ber durp" (too much) .... (the favourite karen lang we have picked up) I am lazy to describe all that had happened...I am just glad to have gone on this trip and experiencied something different from my usual life.
Our toilet and bathroom cubicles. They are beta than I had imagined! Lucky siaz...
Our makeshift tent at the worksite. All so drenched and dirty.hahz.
The xiao shuai ge in my eyes among all other good lking boys.
