Hi there, I'm back from mission trip!
Emmanuel - God With Us...indeed..He is with us all the time..Let me share with u guys how God sees us thru this trip..*Ps. it will be a super long entry!!*

Day 1
one of my church member actually forgot to check his passport...only got 5mths validity..oh man...blur him..ha...early in the morning at 7am...we gathered tgt in the airport and started praying...pray tt God will forgive our carelessness and that the singapore and thailand authority will allow him to pass..and yup!...Both singapore and thailand gave the green light.. =)


after reaching thailand at bout 10.30am..we hop on to our jeeps..there's 2 4by4 wheel drive jeep and 2 2by4 wheel drive car...squeeze in all our luggages into one of the car becos that's the only one that have shelter on the back..hmm..the journey there was long man..we stop for lunch at bout 2plus?...can't really rem...then we're off to pick pastor Lee and he led us to the village...at the top of the mountains...it started to rain heavily..and some of us got worried becos the road up the mountains aren't made of cement...but mud..red mud..i was kinda alright..maybe i like adventure ba..eh..but the reason must be God's peace and assurance...after the pour...guess what...we saw a rainbow...thou it was quite faint...but i smile..rainbow...God's convenant..His promise..somehow..i know...God will be with us throughout..


the roads were really scary..bumpy and wet...some of our vehicle can't drive up the steep mud road due to the uneven and wet mud...there was once the jeep infront of mine slided backwards..ha...no joke...we were quite worried for the cars at our back..the 2by4 car with all our luggages..it must have added much weight to it...Pastor Lee, being more experience, have to walk down the mountain to drive it up for us...it was a sign of relieved when we saw all the 4vehicles arrived...i dunno about the rest..but while waiting..i prayed that God will bring them up safe and sound..that His angels will watch over and carried them up..and again...God did it...


after the long and challenging journey finally we reach HuayHok village...i must tell you...i almost teared...not due to the car journey but the warm welcome the children (12yr and below) have given to us...they just cheered and clapped their hands upon seeing us!...so heart-warming..

had a quick dinner and then the night service..they waited for us to start the service..our pastor preach for awhile and we started praying for the adults and the children there...

Again i thank God for giving me the courage to pray for the children..maybe becos i dunno them that's why i dare to pray..i dunno..i prayed in chinese..haha..after that the children was brought to another room..sis cristal told them story from the bible and our adults made balloon for them...

the children were so adorable..so simple..so lovely...

Day 2

i didn't really sleep in the night..thanks to the mosquito and the rooster..haha...the view from the mountain top is just magnificant..God is such a wonderful painter i must say...imagine there were clouds below where you are...and you are just among the clouds..so beautiful...the people over there are really nice..they cooked so much for us...i believe what they have provided us for a meal is enough for them for maybe 3 meals?..althought they have not much to give but all these are enough...their hospitality..come from within their heart...

after breakfast we cont. our journey downhill to another village...Baka village..it's actually a youth hostel..the children from huayhok..after finishing their primary school education will have to travel downhill for their secondary school education..this Youth hostel is for them to stay so that their journey will be shorten..

it was about 3plus pm and most of the youth wont around..there's another church organization from singapore there also..they were there to teach them chinese..

we had our lunch there and we were brought to a resort...pastor Lee booked it for us...we rest for awhile after that...prepared our logistic for our skit...

had dinner at the hostel then we proceed to an old school where the night service will be held..

the service started with some songs led by pastor lee's wife and it's our skit..

Thank God...everything went really well...our pastor said there's annointing in our skit..i thank God for that...except for the song we sang that went out of tune..ha...everything was great..then there is preaching and praying...many ppl responded to the altar call...then we went to pray for the youth and the children...and guess what...God timing is always just right...right after we said our closing prayer..it started to rain..just in time to look for shelter..haha..

the rain got heavy and light now and then...and our drivers(church members) decided to drive down the 4vehicle that we have parked at the hostel..the journey is only about 8mins?..but we waited for at least an hour...all of us wondered what happen...we were thinking coming down the mountain should be easiler then going up..until we managed to contact one of our church member...he told us 2car got struck in the mud..

oh man..no joke again..going downhill..again we started praying...finally one of the driver arrived and he told us what happen..He's the first car to drive down...at the first gear..without pressing the accelerator..the car skidded down..he got to brake and stay still if not the car will have skidded more. another vehicle at the back have to tie a rope to the car to pull it up..but it got struck also..it was raining heavily then and all of them have to put rocks and bricks on the mud in order for the car to travel down the right path..after hearing these..yes...we prayed...we can do nothing there...but just to pray for God's hands to protect them..

at last..all of them arrived...wet and muddy all over...tired and exhausted...their shoe broke too..

we were all so thankful to our dear Lord...i must say it's a prayerful 2days for me...so many time we couldn't do or help..but just pray and believe...


Day3
it's our last day at Baka village..it's a sunday..and so we join the youth for their sunday service..they were so open when it comes to praise and worship..they clap..they dance...they aren't bothered bout who's around them...with all their heart, soul and mind..they praise and worship the Lord.

after lunch...we're off to chiangmai...we reached the hotel at bout 9plus pm...ate our "dinner" at bout 10plus...eh..then walk round the night market for awhile and back to the hotel..

the hotel was good..4stars..how i wish i can bring the bed home..haha..

Day4
it's our recreation day...we went to sit elephant ride..ox ride..and rafting..it was actually a very slow and peaceful ride along the river...but i fell into the river..haha..silly me..got all wet...lucky the river was shallow..i swam to the side off the raft and my friend, paul pulled me up..i was the joke of the day..everyone was like "annoucning to everyone la...lol

then we went to a resturant which sells all kinds of tibits and sharkfin and birdnest...i didn't eat them..just bought some tibits..

lastly we went to a shop which sells honey..all kind of honey..

sometime happened which almost made me cried..i was sad...or maybe disappointed...i remembered saying i'm going to the toilet..but now i can't rem if i said to a particular person or just say it out to...everybody..or maybe...nobody...eh..maybe they didn't hear me..and all left the shop..to the bus..off they go...i was panic when i can't see them in the shop..plus i didn't recognise the bus...went in and out of the shop a few times until i saw familiar ppl on a bus which is slowing down..and yes..they were doing headcount after starting off..then realise i was missing..well..
sat behind the bus...controlling my tears...it's over..can't blame anyone..maybe i should have just told the organizer...like i said..it's over..i still love all of you guys..=)

Day5
last day...had breakfast and off we go...to the airport..reached singapore at bout 4pm...

all in all...i bought a fake puma shoe..a 44L backpack for myself..a skirt for sis..and DFS wine for my family...

Overall, it's a wonderful experience...wish we could stay at the villages longer thou...pray that God will cont. to revive the churches..and the people..and for the leaders there to cont. this will of God...be their strength...give them hope and a passion for soul...a passion for God...
