Alright!! just back from Tanjung Balai. ok. not just as in just but like at about 4 plus. the experiance was... wow!... unbelieveable. but i've got to admit, i was quite scared of what would happen. my first time on a mission trip you see? but my cousin was like all so very bo-chap, appearing as though everything will turn out fine and dandy so i was... ok lah. nothing to sian over. nobody seemed to be worried so i just kept quiet.

we had to be in church by 7 but my family reached there early. i was sitting on the wooden table in the canteen when i caught sight of Daryl and started snickering. Sars was sitting on my right. she thought i had lost it i think. i mean, who laughs out of the blue when there is nothing to laugh at? so i told her i just remembered the sanitary pad conversation a while back. i told her about it some time ago so she remembered and started to LOL. as in Literally LOL. i couldnt help it so i laughed too. so when daryl walked pass, he stoppped, looked at us and gave this really bombasticated look saying, "these girls are nuts..." he then tured and walked 2 small steps away to sars' mom n started talking to someone outside. sars' mom called us over and was damn stressed because there wasnt enought food for nicolas and sars' aunt. my mom was there and gave us money to go and get some paos. just as we were about to leave, daryl turned back and i debated with sras whether to say the sanitary thing. so i said to daryl, "hiyah... i feel like asking you something but... yet... i dont feel like asking it." he said, "ask away... ask away..." so my cousin and i burst out laughing.
---------skip to boat ride----------
we were riding on "penguin 12". we went up to the not air-conditioned part of the boat and felt the breeze. it was half way through on the boat ride when i spotted hilda and daryl really close. sars was beside me and i pointed it out to her and we went "ooooooooo". we told hilda's cousin gerald after the boat ride and he too went "ooooooo". he's way older than us but behaves just retarded or even more retarded than us. a little secret between the three of us....
by the end of the day, at least 6 other people knew of the secret. all thanks to my sister who we didnt know was evesdropping...

we begin our stuffs and all that today. we were all in the same bus. sars, hilda, gerald, my sis, daryl, francis and i and some others. i pity the bus uncle for he had to put up with our noise while we were playing our games and singing our nonsensical songs.
when we reached the school, we found out that the students we were to teach knew english to the primary 5 standard so my group had to redo the skit. in the teaching group is sars, jaq, daryl, gerald, hilda and i. sars had to go and do some game things and jaq had to run an errand so it was up to the rest of us. in our new skit, i'm playing this really proud popular girl which daryl's character goes after. everything was quite drama. he would see me and collapse then he would get up and approach me and i would shun him. 2nd approach he would bring me flowers and 3rd would be he would sing. but i just keep throwing him away. then he will look all sad and thats when hilda will come and comfort him and they will go out for ice-cream and i will be cursing and all that. after the skit, gerald told me and sars that the important thing was actually not that i got angry but... you know. xD

second day to do our stuffs. the groups are supposed to present a skit. hilda, daryl and i were with these group of boys who loved to talk among themselves. the language barrier was especially large in our group as we thought since they knew english they could communicate quite nicely but we only found out that their chinese was really good later on so hilda and i were used as communicators between daryl and them. daryl takes malay, c? the skit were quite nice. nicolas' group copied off a scene from a hongkong drama serial so his group was the drama-fied one which got a lot of cheers. i wasnt watching the skits. couldnt be bothered. my sister and i just sat by the side trying to tune the guitar.
while going to the community we were supposed to visit today, we sang praises on the bus while daryl played the guitar. it was brilliant. but by the end, daryl was practically dying.
at night, we had this blind man's game thing where we were blind folded. i had nothing agaist indonesians until then. the indonesian girl behind me kept really close to me. as in Really close. she and her guy friends kept laughing so she kept putting her face on my back so my shirt was damn wet lah. so i kept making noises. telling her to stop it but it was obvious that she didnt understand. the she said i was fat and i went, in my head, then how 'bout you? chubby...' so since she didnt understand i just started saying out really loudly, "nani!" then suddenly, i heard daryl say, "i heard a nani" my sister just said, "my sister lah!" at one point of time i really wanted to stand rooted to the spot, crouch down and scream out "baka" just to vent my frustration. i never got the chance. they moved daryl to behind me when they moved the girl and her friends away. then daryl was like, "whos this ar?" me:" cecilia. u daryl?" daryl:"yah. eh! dont tell me im at the back again?!?! they move me again just to become the back again?! they think i make a really... good... pantat.. or what?" i burst out laughing.
today
really nice. somehow. the boat we took back was "mv. falcon". it had an open-air top. extremely breezy. wonderful wind. difficult to balance. xD took a few pictures. daryl and kenneth being nonsensical again.
when we arrived in church, they asked my bro to take picture of david, kenneth and daryl kissing the floor. all david's idea. when they got up, david started spitting. light ones that were mainly air. kenneth didnt say or do anything but daryl went, "i just made out with the floor!!" in an extremely enthu way. i was ,"nani..." toot lah these people...
