Memories. Soooooo... HEY! It's been quite a while since I've blogged. Decided to post something because I'm kinda boredddd. Hahaha. So I've just finished a 4km night jog and it's rather disappointing. My timing always never seem to improve! ARGHHHH. Was hoping to reach the 2.4 mark in 10 mins plus but always end up reaching there in 11 min plus. So anywayyy, I reached and had to help me dad upload pictures from his phone into the com and I happened to open the OCIP picture file and start missing that awesome trip. I've never did a photo collage for OCIP so here's my picture storybook which tells my journey to Thailand! :D 
The three musketeers on the way to Thailand! Actually, we look like some Fedex man delivering to Thailand. Okay no. Maybe just me. HAHA.
Miss Lim came to send us off! SO SWEET. HAHA. Bet she came for me only. LOL. Okay just kidding.
Sawadee Krap!
Fedex guy appear once again!
Sadly I did not take any photo in the airplane cause I was sitting with the teachers. So here's our first day in MaeChaem School!
Okay guys, so this is called sweets. HAHA. And I actually learnt what is sweet in Thai. It's Moji! HAHA.
Games time! Teaching them how to play this game of passing the ball using newspaper.
Everyone enjoyed the game while I was the cameraman. :( If you can spot me all the way at the end :)
Just kidding! How could I not have my share of fun!
And Day 2 arrives in the blink of an eye...
Starting the early morning with a bit of an excitement! It's LIMBO! :D
Fierce battle siaaaa.
Look at that gap between me and the rope! DAMN I'm awesome.
Repeat after me. 'Wanton SOUP'. HAHAHA. Teaching them some local dishes in English!
New local dish! HAHAHA
Time for some outdoor activities! Playing this game where you have to tap each other's knee to eliminate that person. Apparently MingJie's not scared. HAHAAH
Look at that dodge. OMGGGG. I'm an action movie star.
A tiring day 2 finally ended and now it's Day 3, also known as their PE day! Pardon the gay photo as we were playing volleyball and I went to pick up the ball but there was a truck passing by so I had to wait thus, the photo was taken.
My butt sticking out pose that got very famous in Thailand. HAHAHA.
And so we went to visit another village after ending school. And there's lots of jump shots.
Group jump shot!
Okay last photo before my post over flood with pictures. Okay it's actually overflooded.
And Day 4 arrives! It's Uniform Group for them today! YAY!
Waking the students up with WHACKO early in the morning!
Looks like I'm wide awake huh.
Since I'm awake, it's now my job to wake others up with a game of 'OUCH' !
And I got my retribution ...
Well it's actually our last day teaching them so quickly snapping some pictures with our students! :D
And did I mention that our students are actually older than us ?! OMG. Some are the same age as us and some are older by 2 years.
Secretly taking a picture with one of the student!
And so since it's our last day teaching them, there's a farewell party, also known as the Khantoke Dinner! All of us are required to wear traditional costumes and honestly, I swear this is the best dinner of my life.
Denise and I with two of our students!
Guess her name. It'S MOJI! Remember ? It means sweet in Thai.
Presenting Mingjie and Benjamin's awkward dance moves!
Everything must come to an end. It's officially our last day with them. It's a short day where we present performances with our class to the WHOLE SCHOOL. And also interact a bit with our students before leaving.
Dancing to the new Thai cheer we learnt!
Just me shouting some cheers.
Before leaving, taking photos is a must! With 2 of my other students!
And then everyone started crying.
The two big brave man that eventually broke down into tears! Wait. I look so happy here. LOL.
Cuddling together to say our last goodbyes!
Making a vow that we would never forget each other.
And this is my class! Though not a big class but definitely left a big impact.
The problem about leaving is that no one bears to leave each other. Look at that. Even students not from my class love me so much. Signing autographs and all. DAMN I'M FAMOUS. HAHAHA.
Look at that. It's no joke!
And so we finally left.
But the trip ain't ending yet! It's time for our holidays! At the beautiful waterfall in Thailand!
It's really tiring to climb up the waterfall but I'm the muscleman. So it doesn't matter.
Enjoying a cooling cup of coffee in this hot weather! THE COFFEE THERE IS DAMN NICE I SWEAR.
Me and my awesome douchebag which I love so much! <3 Okay that's gay...
After that, we went to the zoo! Look at the bird on my hand! FIRST TIME HOLDING BIRD SIA.
And we get to enjoy a ride on elephants' back!!! AWESOME EXPERIENCE. Kinda scary though.
Close up shot with MingJie not paying attention to the camera -.-
It's actually 1:16am now. So to cut the story short, after the elephant ride, we went back to the hotel and rest. After that, we went to the night bazaar and have a shopping spree! The next day, we went to this silk factory and then the 'Umbrella factory' where you can design anything on anything! This is a picture of me with the artist drawing a ChiangMai design on a shirt! IT'S AWESOME.
At night, we're going to another walking street! A picture of 'Douchebags' before leaving the hotel.
And the food there may not be high class food. BUT IT'S DEFINITELY DELICIOUS!
And it's finally time to go home. Back to Singapore.
Without hesitation, I would say this is the best 8 days of my life. Thanks everyone for leaving such a big impact in my life. I would never ever forget this experience. Till we see again next time! :')
And that concludes my journey to Thailand! HAHA. This actually took me 2 hours to complete! OMG. So it's actually 1:24am. SOOO LATEEEE ALREADYYYYY. Guess it's time for me to sleep! CIAO! And also... HAPPY 48TH BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE! :D
