Vietttttttt!
I tell you, I have never had so much fun in a longgggg time~
Tinatono, Edmund the Mushroom, Marcus King of Taiti and Samuel you joker, I MISS YOU ALLLLLLLL!
Ahhhh. Where to start?
I AM SO SUPER FRICKIN HIGH NOWWWWWW SO YES.
The BONDING. YESSSSS.
You all try to read la, really quite funny, I chiong all in one day one lol.
15DEC:
Okay, the first day it was quite awkward in the beginning -like all 5 of us didn't dare to look at each other in the eye, yadda yadda- but while we were waiting for the boys' hotel room to be cleared we were playing cards in Uncle CL's room aft lunch. Lunch was okay, we didn't bond much, even when we were all sitting at one table sep from the adults. Well I am proud to say that dear Tinatono brought the cards lol, otherwise no chance to bond le. ;D We started opening up to each other, then it was time for the Hope Onco ward at 1.
Onco was funny. The kids were overwhelming like nuts! But the smiles on their faces were priceless, no joke. The bad thing was that they kept coming to make MORE puppets even when they'd alr made one or two before. Lol. Edmund (YOU MUSHROOM) kept on trying to avoid my candid shots, hence making the whole point of capturing him unawares more fun. ;D The kids kept on tackling me to the ground. We were all exhausted aft it ended at 4 lol.
Went back to the hotel, washed up. At 6.30 TinaTONO wanted to wait outside their room for them. It was so hilarious because I ended up the one in plain view of their door while Tono was hidden in the stairwell. So when the guys came out I started giggling like nuts lol. Like a frickin huachi but it was so funny, the looks on their faces.
Then Tina and I got to the lobby first via the stairwell. She even pressed the button on our floor (1st) to detain the guys a while (they lived on the 6th) and I wondered what was the matter with her. Then I was like 'Wah you see la, you make me blush in front of them la!' And she was like 'You blush for what? Just playing only what. You like one of them ah?' And I retorted 'Lol, blushing with laughter more like! My face feels so hot le la!'
It's true. My cheeks felt so hot! It was so hilarious, I tell you. I don't even know why we were so high lol.
Went to eat dinner. It was nice. Ohohohoh let me skip to the part about crossing Viet roads.
The traffic there is so horrible it could kill you. Like they have no traffic judicial system at all luh. No offense to Vietnamese. The place is nice but the traffic was so scary.
We went to this supermarket aft dinner, called CO-OP and it was a LONGGGG walk.
And the guys and I all wore flipflops. It was horrid, kept on walking into road slush and getting who-knows-what into our flipflops. Marcus was like 'Aiya shouldn't have worn lo.'
Then we had to cross a major junction to get to CO-OP, and actually, might I add, crossing roads constitutes about nearly half the bonding time during our trip. The motorcycles go honk and whoosh all around you, you feel like you might get knocked down round every corner, no joke.
As we were about to cross the roads, we all stood closer, and Edmund was beside me. And he did the nicest thing, I say. I was even telling Tina about it and she was shocked lol. Edmund grabbed hold of my wrist, Uncle CL the other, and then we crossed. As in, Tina was just telling me too, one of the nights in our room. At the start of the trip there was always a gap between the guys and the girls but as the trip progressed the gap disappeared until we were just this gang of kids lol laughing and talking together. But Edmund grabbed my wrist - hesitantly at first, but fully later and I was so touched, Tina thought I was infatuated (which I'm not, Mushroom, don't worry!) It meant a lot to me though. A huge first step in breaking the gender barrier.
Then when we'd bought our groceries, we were walking back to the hotel. I asked Edmund, 'Yo, what did you guys buy?' and he was like 'Oh, some ice cream, crackers. We bought a tube of ice cream for you girls eh.' Then I was like 'Oh, thanks! Uhhh, we bought a tube of chips for you too!'
Haha. We both laughed and it was sweet.
Then later the guys brought the ice-cream down lol. Special delivery! Hahah. Eh, New Zealand Natural leh, choc flavored. Wait till you find out what happened to it.
I slept with Tina in one room, the three guys in another.
First night was uneventful, really.
16 DEC:
Woke up with a major migraine and swollen eyes, youch.
The taxi ride was horrible. We were split - Sam, Tina and I in one taxi with Aunty Pauline, Fuga the translatoto Govap Orphanage r, and Aunty Alice from Faith Methodist Church. (FMC) Marcus and Ed were in the other taxi with Uncle CL and some other people from FMC.
I had to take Panadol and apply ointment la, some things I don't usually do.
Ohohoho which reminds me, on the first day on the taxi ride from the airport to the hotel, Samuel (who is the resident questionnaire master and joker) asked us what was our worst phobias. Hmm mine was being alone and/or taking tablet medicines. Yeah, so taking tablets in that scary, noisy taxi was terrible for me. Lol. Kept the tablet in my mouth for a minute or two before I finally swallowed it lol. Auntie P, Sam and Auntie Alice kept on asking me if I was okay. So sweet. ;)
Tina, Samuel and I made our way to the babies' ward at 8.30am. Ohmylord when I do a picture post next you guys will screamscreamscream like Tina, these babies are adorable. Ranging from newborns to 9 months old, they are the LOVE.
But they are orphans. D:
The baby I fell for was so handsome. His eyelashes are like wheeee~ -curly to the point that he could model for a Maybelline ad for infants- and his name was pronounced Meng-nyeh, I think. I miss his smile so much. Tina and I fed the babies. No, you guys are NOT thinking breastfeeding lol. They had milk bottles la.
And while I was feeding my baby he kept on smiling at me and refusing to drink! Even Agnes from FMC kept on saying he was so beautiful. I kept on inserting the milk bottle in, and taking it out, in and out, in and out until I found out, 15 min later, that you're supposed to KEEP it in the baby's mouth until it finishes the milk. I was so afraid it would choke, I forgot that babies can breathe through their noses.
Didn't leave the ward with Tina till 10. The babies Tina carried would cry if she put them down, so I'd say she had a harder time than I did. My baby cried too when I put it down but I managed to put it to sleep!
Then we went up to the empty room where we were doing mural paintings. OML that experience has changed my life. I've never done mural painting before but I love it. Esp with my cell, it was so fun! The guys were alr there painting, I think.
I rmb the very first thing I painted was my sunflower. ;D And Marcus was like 'Isn't like the sunflower's centre supposed to be dark colored?'
And I was like 'It isn't a sunflower la.'
We painted a while, before lunch. The yellow of my flower was drippy, and all wet and all that. And it was wall paint, so by lunch we'd all gotten our various mementoes from the walls. My star was also dripping. I kept on cursing 'bloody' when paint from above kept dripping down onto my prev paintings. I was painting the star which was too high for me , and I grabbed a chair, and on the way I think I heard Marcus commenting to Uncle CL that 'I standing on the floor also can reach alr lor.'
Meaniebutt.
Went for lunch. Had pho again, and in case you're wondering, they're viet noodles. Ed, Sam and Tina had normal pho, Marcus and I had the meethaimak kind. We bonded (sort of) cuz the five of us squeezed into this teenytiny table which prohibited elbow space. Then Marcus and Edmund raided my camera, which was a REALLLLLY BAD IDEA because they saw all the results of my cam-whoring, and all the zilian-unglam ones I took on the plane ride to Viet, even some of Tina asleep lol. And they were like smirking all the way through, just not meanly la. Then they were like 'Wah second day alr 250++ photos le lor,' and I grinned back.
We really bonded alot la, I can't help saying. Even when we were crossing the roads and the guys were ahead of us a little Edmund was yelling back to us, 'Oi Sierra! Look out for that dog shit!' Hahaha.
Then when Marcus was about to cross the road this motorcyclist just zipped out outta nowhere from a back alley and honked him. Then when the motorcyclist had zoomed off Marcus made the sign of the - well, that thing we always do in Dunman, the five-fingers-tgt thing. Haha.
We went back to paint the murals. I jumped up onto this basin thingie to paint a cute rabbit. Ed was beside me painting his dear mushroom (which, I might add, was a really good piece of work. Hence his nickname the Mushroom, because we named the mushroom he painted Edmund.) Then Marcus was behind us on the floor. I was turning round to get some pink paint when I noticed him painting a smiley on his palm. I was like, all nice and curious, 'Ehhh what you doing?'
Stupid me. Should've kept my mouth shut.
He slapped my calf with his painted palm and gave me a pink smiley tattoo.
And I was like AHHHHHHHHHH~
You can probably guess what happened, but if you can't, I'll tell you that Edmund and Marcus just cracked up in huge guffaws while I went into hysterical shrieking.
Just the play-kind of shriek la, nothing really serious lol. It was a good laugh.
Wasn't really serious, we washed it off. I wanted to get revenge, asked Ed for help. Ed didn't want to get involved lol. He was like 'You want you go la, later he get revenge on me!'
Haha. Ended up using the brown smiley I'd painted on my hand on Edmund's leg instead. He was like 'OI NOOOOO~'
Hmmm we went down to play games with the mobile orphans. It was a huge mess, mostly cuz we didn't speak Viet. Marcus went to coach recorder lessons with Wendy from FMC, Auntie P and Tina went to watch, while Ed, Sam and I stayed to supervise the kids in games. It didn't go as planned, but it was crazy fun. Aunty Alice sat them down with some translators and made Christmas deco for them to hang on the Govap Christmas tree.
When Marcus and Wendy got back, he was really quiet. Wendy went on to say,with a flourish of her recorder, 'It was a total, complete disaster! But it was fun!'
Hahahaha. We never thought Marcus had it in him, but Mark the mission trip IC commended him during the debrief that night. Agnes commended Tina and I for feeding the babies. It was embarrassing, but great fun! I felt proud for all of us.
Aft dinner we went to this posh coffee place, Highlands Coffee. It was considered bonding, I guess. We found out Marcus didn't like coffee. Don't know why he even ordered the coffee cheesecake lol. And as we were speaking of spoons and cheesecake, we asked the guys what they did with the ice cream. And they were like 'Huh you HAVEN'T EATEN IT?!' We were like 'Yeah, what's wrong?' And Samuel was like 'Wah DIE LIAO cannot eat le la!' 'There's no freezer, that's why we asked you what you did with the ice-cream!' Haha and they all found out I can't keep a poker face for nuts, I laugh at everything.
Then there were the card games.
The guys came down to our room that night, where we showed them the remains of our ice-cream. OMG I know it's quite weird for me to say this but I'm sure Tinatono would agree, the guys smelt GOOD. Hahah all post-shower and all that. ;D
We played Taiti like crazy, with all of them owning me because I don't do Taiti for nuts.
We learnt more about the guys this time round. OML highlight of the night - HAVE YOU EVER SEEN MARCUS SNG GET HIGH? HE CAN GET SERIOUSLY HIGHHHHH. Just picture this - all of us minding our own business, sorting our cards during a game of Taiti with the song 'Hypnotized' by Akon blasting from a phone, and suddenly he starts bobbing his head and doing all the head isolations Indian-dance style and going 'Ah ah ah Edmund yo' mamma yo' mamma' and all that. Trust me, both mine and Tina's jaws hit rock bottom that night, it was a grrrreat night. Marcus apparently loves music. He was like mouthing the words to a lot a lot a lottt of songs lol and it was so amusing I was cracking up for the life of me. It was a completely diff side of him we saw that night. He and Ed are the greatest pair to live ever. Their reactions to each other are priceless. Samuel was enjoying himself a lot too, and yelling at them to cont game lol. There was this one time when Collide was blasting from my phone, and Samuel was like 'Collide, right? Very old song le leh. Why still got so many people like it?'
Then Marcus was like 'Cuz it's nice' at the same time I said 'Because it's a nice song.'
The rest were sniggering, at I don't know what la.
Ohohohoh and there was this time when Tina lost a game, Taiti I think, and Marcus was like, 'Let's play truth or dare! Okay Tina, truth. Why do you think our cell is so separated?'
Tina was like so super-shocked, it was funny!
We were having so much fun that we forgot the time, and Uncle CL and A.P. ended up having to knock on our door to tell us off, and go to bed, because we were yelling so loud during a game of Indian Poker that they could hear us along the corridor. ;D (Note that our room and Uncle CL's and A.P.'s room were situated on opp ends of the corridor.)
They left, sadly. But Tina and I collapsed onto the bed giggling like we were on high, because we were. Then Tina was like, 'OMG I can't believe it. Marcus Sng leh. Marcus Sng asking this question. Why is our cell so separated?'
Hahaha. It was a miracle. Unbelievable.
Then as we prayed before bed we were still so high that we were giggling all thru prayer. Tina was like 'OMG I feel so hot!'
'Haha, Tina, you are hot,' I shot back.
'Nonono not that kind of hot la!' she yells at my wiggling eyebrows. 'As in, I feel very hot now. Warmmm.'
Haha. We tried to knock off to sleep. Listened to 5 Loaves, 2 Fishes to calm down. Then listened to The Call. Then as I was about to sleep, Tina whispered, 'OMG you know what's going thru my head now?'
'What?'
'Why is our cell so separated? Why do you think our cell's so separated?'
'You think they talk about us before they sleep too?'
'Yeah.'
;D BIG GRINS FOR THAT NIGHT AS WE FELL ASLEEP.
17DEC:
Christmas party at Govap Orphanage. Quite hectic for us as we had to wrap up the mural by that day. Managed to bond yet again, through quite an unorthodox manner - sharing ladders. I shared ladders with Sam at first, and it was so freaky, cuz he's haevier, and every time he makes a move poor me squeals and holds on to the window rack for dear life, but we shared a lot of laughs too. Then when I shared ladders with Edmund to paint the alphabet, I asked, 'Yo. So what time did you sleep last night?'
'Oh, around 1.' Like us!
'Hahaha too high right? Us too!'
'Yalor! Ytd when we went back to our room we were like feeling really hot suddenly leh.'
Gives him the eyebrows.
'No la, feeling warm la, Sierra!'
'OMG LIKE US TOO!'
Haha. Tina told me we'd bonded alot on that ladder. I feel so too.
During lunch, I had pigeon and bubble tea! Their bubble tea is nicer. When Tina and I saw the straws the restaurant provided we started making hearts. Then Marcus saw and he was like 'You know how to make ah?'
'Yeah,' we replied.
Then as I was making my heart Marcus nudged me. And he showed me a heart made from transparent straws. He was like 'Nah.'
I was like stunned lol. And I said 'Huh? For me ah?'
Thank god the waitress came to take the bill, cuz she interrupted us and I had to answer her, so I took the heart first and talked to her. Then when she was done I was thinking that the heart couldn't possibly be for me, so I returned it to him and said 'Nice.'
Thank GOD I didn't take it and put it inside my pouch! Cuz he took it back and put it into his wallet!
Wahhh damn paisay if I had. Thankgod I didn't haaaaaa. Freakkkyyy.
Then during the Christmas party, we were doing balloon sculpture for the kids. We learnt about Samuel that day too - he doesn't like the sound balloons make, and crumpling plastic bottles too. It must've been torture for him when I asked him to guide me thru making a Sitting Dog! Then Tina tried to make a teddy bear, but the body had popped. It was so cute tho! Nevertheless, Marcus tried to make one too and his popped one min into the making. It was like LOL.
It was tiring, and as Mark gave the debrief aft the party, it was nice to be with the FMC for the last time. Mark also mentioned about the guys looking forward to feeding babies the next day! LOL I was like :O, then :D. The guys looked thunderstruck, because they had never said anything about 'really looking forward to feeding babies.' Turned out Uncle CL had misphrased sth while he was talking to Mark hahahaha;D
In case you aren't sure till now, FMC is Faith Methodist Church. My cell comes from Church of our Savior. (COOS.)
COOS was staying on even aft FMC had left for Hanoi for R and R.
Hence the feeding of babies the next day.
Went back to the hotel to freshen up. Dinner at a swanky rest, where Marcus and I kept on getting bitten by mosquitoes. A.P., Marcus and I went to print out some of my fave photos! ;D While the rest waited for the food. Went for a nightwalk! And then some ice-cream. Apparently Ho Chi Minh also has Christmas deco, looks somewhat like Orchard Rd if you block out the traffic and sea of motorcycles.
To get to the ice-cream parlor, we had to walk past this park, Ben Thanh Market and navigate thru a whole ton of traffic.
In this park, it was so - well.
The guys, Uncle CL and I went ahead, while A.P. and Tina lagged behind a little. Then Marcus made a point of the overwhelming amount of couples nuzzling each other on motorcycles in the park. Eww. 'Got a lot sia! The whole street is full of them la!'
Then I asked Uncle CL why there were so many couples. And he said sth like how the park is like the equivalent of Bugis J to us, or some swanky place for a date.
Then Marcus was doing this really high imitation of a guy asking a girl out, like, 'Will you go out to the park with me? I'll pick you up at seven! We can go sit on motorcycles with all the other couples and kiss!' kinda thing.
I was laughing so loudly. Again.
Then Samuel was like 'Sierra, do you feel uncomfortable?'
'No, why?'
'That you're like with all boys right now.'
'No la, I'm fine! Don't worry!'
Guys can be sweet. ;D And thoughtful.
Then we made our way to the ice-cream parlor, where we met people from FMC eating there too! Tina and I ordered some Cocoa Fondue, Marcus, Samuel and A.P. ordered Coconut ice-cream, Uncle CL ordered Yam Ice-cream and Ed ordered some strawberry thing. Hahaha.
We bonded again and again and again and again! My apologies for getting so high on bonding. If you see my cell, you'll know why I get so high the way I do whenever I think of this trip and how much we all bonded. We even exchanged ice-creams lol. I ate some of Edmund and Marcus', and Marcus ate mine, that kind of thing.
We even gossiped about A.P and Uncle CL lol. Not harmful gossip, just the fun kind.
Then we got back to the hotel. Our curfew for card games was midnight I think. While we were waiting for them I was talking about the guys and then Tina thought I pronounced Marcus' name wrongly and like gave him a pet name or sth. She thought I liked him lol and we started giggling and all that. Then Edmund and Sam arrived first and it was fun all over again. Marcus was showering, but we still managed to have fun. Then I ended up sitting between Tina and Marcus when he arrived, and Tina was shooting me glances and nudging my leg under the covers and all that, and I was like 'Tina stop staring!' and she was like mouthing the nickname behind her cards and all that. I 'm sure the guys suspected sth but they were clueless, as usual. ;D Then I was like 'Marcus can I switch places with you, Tina's being irritating.' And he was like 'Yeah i think I switch w you la I can see Samuel's cards from here.' We swopped, and then Tinatono went like 'Still the same!' And it was so LOL. I think the guys knew what was going on lol, or they alr suspect that one of us likes them even though we don't. Hahahahaha.
Hahhaa. Went off to bed early because the guys didn't want to break the trust the adults had given us. When they were gone Tina was like 'If you had a choice who would you fall for?' in bed, as we were about to sleep. Of course I didn't entertain her, Tinatono ended up saying she wouldn't fall for any of the three and kept on teasing me about Marcus even though I hadn't said anything as we fell into sleep.
18DEC:
Baby feeding!
Wait for the picture post, wait for it, I tell you! Some pics are even more valuable than the MonaLisa.
Edmund, Marcus and Samuel DID end up feeding the babies.
It was a joy seeing them feed babies. Potential fathers lol!
Marcus' baby kept on doing the breast/backstroke onthe mattress lol! And banged into my baby and Sam's baby, Loc!
Then I think Marcus wants his baby to be a pilot like him, he kept on holding her under the armpits and boosting her up into the air and down again and going 'wheee, wheee~' to her hahaha. Sometimes babies bring out the best in people. ;D
Poor Ed, though. His baby peed on him. According to aft he changed pants in the hotel later that afternoon, he had felt a warm tingly feeling in his lap. ;D It was great to see him freaking out over a puddle. ;D
I miss my baby. I got to see him one last time tho, so that was great.
We went back to the hotel to freshen up aft lunch. Samuel lost his phone on a cab! D: While he was praying, the rest of us were playing cards again. In our room. Marcus jumped onto our bed when he first came in and grabbed our chips, and said 'Eh I take ah,' when the chips were alr enroute to his mouth. Then he laughed and chided himself like 'Wah, I say until like my room liddat!'LOL. There was completely no ventilation cuz of the power outage. Our feet stunk, as in all four of us, and Marcus was like 'OMG my feet stink la.' I told him it wasn't him.
Aft that we went to do sightseeing aft we left Govap at 12. Nothing much - just the war museum and water puppets in the evening. The War Museum was scary -Marcus had been there before and he warned us about the sick stuff inside. Quite eww and heartless.
Dinner was steamboat. Quite good! Samuel started coming alive with all his jokes.
You know those scenario ones?
For exp:
Tom and Mary were in a room, lying on the floor, naked, dead. There is a rock, broken glass and water on the floor. What happened before?
That kind of thing.
Aiya, I was so dumb that Samuel had to let slip the answer 'accidentally'. coughgoldfishcough!
The waitress served food to Marcus using the wrong end of my chopsticks while I was in the restroom! D:
No one can possibly own Uncle CL and A.P. in the riddles. They're poly teachers lol nothing gets past them except the retarded test lol.
We drank a great drink, soda with lemon and sugar. ;D The soda alone by itself tastes disgusting tho.
The water puppets were boring near the end. Sorry D: they just were. Cuz all of us couldn't understand the Vietnamese.
Marcus fell asleep first, followed by Ed, Sam and then me. Only Tina stayed awake.
Lol it was just tiring! And Marcus was just being candid la, he said, 'I can't believe I paid S$6.50 to watch a 50 min show that was so boring. I can watch a 2hour movie at Bugis for the same price la!'
I asked Tina as we were going back, 'You think the guys will be so tired they won't want to play cards anymore later?'
She laughed and said, 'You joking ah. You think cards they'll fall asleep meh?'
Theory proven. Marcus and Sam came down at 8 to play cards. Our curfew that night was 1. ;DDDDDDD
Edmund was still showering, and Marcus and Samuel claimed our bed like it was theirs. Okay I didn't mean that to come out the way it sounded, but it was true. They grabbed our chips again! Tina was showering, so I played Stress against Marcus with Samuel aiding me. Owned him ;D Then I went to shower. When I came out Edmund still hadn't arrived! We got off to playing Snap. Where Tina and Samuel kept on losing cuz they weren't paying attention D: I kept on scratching people during that game, esp Sam and Marcus. Then we played 24, a new game Samuel introduced that got Marcus SO HIGH but made Edmund sad. D: It's like a four people game in which everyone has to deal a card, so there are four cards in play. Then we have to use + - * / to make number sentences that let us end with an end product of 24. Lol SAMUEL OWNS! Marcus got so frickin high during the game, it was scary. His face was so red, and he kept on slapping our bed like BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM~ hahaha;D As in, when you get the ans you're not supposed to say it out but you should slap the bed luh. I did it once accidentally and Marcus was like 'Okay, Sierra, would you mind telling us the ans?'
Hahahah HAR. Very funny. He was pounding the bed multiple times, enough to bruise the poor thing.
Then we played truth or dare. Marcus' idea! LOL can you believe it.
Aiya I'll just say one thing. We all promised that nothing during that event would leave the seven walls we were enclosed in that night, so I can't post about it. But -hinthint- kids our age are always interested in like BGR lol. So funny la, we laughed our heads offoffoff;D The guys asked alot of qns that yes, like Tina said, left us really red;D
Funny things that happened during the evening:
Marcus kept on hugging Tina's pillow. He looked seriously little-boy-cute when he did it lol! And when I thought it was quite impossible for Marcus Sng the dao-man to look little-boy-cute, he did. He even said, 'Tina aghhh I'm attached to your pillow.'
Speaking of pillows, during a dare session I dared him to kiss Tina's pillow. He did! Tina dared him to kiss my pillow. Wahhhhh he did! Then he was doing elbows on our bed lol, funny, his butt was up in the air la. Disqualified!
We played truth or dare nearly half the time we spent there lol. Tina kept on kena-ing the 'drink a glass of water thing,' so she woke up with a full bladder ;D We bonded the most during this time. Everyone agreed that we'd bonded unanimously, and the Edmund was like 'Nevermind, 1/4 of the cell bonded alr! Spread the love! Jiayou!'
Also, it might not really be surprising that I'm the only one in that group who scolds vulgarities lol. Edmund, Marcus, Sam and Tina all don't. D: I feel so ashamed lol. Even Marcus who's in a boys' school doesn't. He made that a huge point lor. He was like 'I think the only one who scolds vulgarities in this group is her lor.'
'Got meh?'
'Yalor you scolded the F word today! You don't deny la you! Hahaha too much influence from the States le ohhhorrr.'
Hahahaha :D I'm trying to stop la you.
Also, Marcus was like trying to remind Tina that it was her turn during a game, so he went like 'Tinaaaaaaa~' When she didn't reply he went like 'Tinaaaatonooooo~' Tina and I just cracked up, it was so funny! The name stuck, Tinatono, deal with it. ;D SO cute, uhhuh uhhuh. ;D
Then Marcus went up to get his PSP so we could watch movies. Watched Meet the Spartans, cinema style with the lights off. The bed too small for all five of us la, the screen too, but that was the fun of it. The movie was sick humor. Like the girl with the mega huge boobs lol. Then it was so funny when Edmund was like 'I can't watch this,' and he turned away, and a second later the guy's neck broke and we were all like 'OOOOOH~' Hahaha. The nipple-chain thing, stapling it on, was so funny, we were all like oooh ouch! ;D Serious!
I never thought we could get this close to each other. It was such a sweet moment as I looked around at all their faces in the dark. Five of us friends ;D ahhhhh~
We all went to sleep at 12, we really couldn't take it, we were too tired. Marcus left his PSP with us girl, cuz Tina wanted to watch the movie. We didn't stay up long. But Tina mentioned that Marcus trusted us enough to leave his PSP with us. It was nice to know that. Cuz I distinctly heard him telling us that 'if you lose or drop it I smack you all ah I tell you.'
Hahhaa yeah.
P.S. Marcus' fave phrase, as Tina told me later that night, is 'Alrightttt, baby!' ;DDDDD
19DEC:
Went to shop at Ben Thanh Market today.
It was good ;D The five of us kids shopped tgt, but it was only 45 min of shopping , and I didn't do a lot. I hated the bargaining. Marcus bought the Viet Flag shirt, red with a big star on it. We were contemplating all of us buying the shirt and wearing it to cell the next day lol.
Tina bought bangles, bracelets and a clip. The lady tried to knock her off la.
Samuel bought cross earrings for his mom.
Edmund bought slippers for his mom too. ;D
Yep. I bought jackfruit tidbits.
We went on to the back alley shops where I almost bought the whole store. Marcus wanted to buy stuff for his sis and kept on pestering me and Tina to help. We helped him choose some bracelets, bookmarks, etc. Edmund too, for his mom.
I bought a lot of stuff for myself, I feel the guilt now. D:
Arrived at the airport at 4, I think. Continued shopping at duty-free store. Marcus, Ed and Sam came up to me and asked 'Eh Sierra you think this necklace is nice?'
It was one of those magnetic stones one. It was made entirely out of heart shaped beads. 'Yeah, it's nice what,' I said. 'For your sis ah?'
'Would you wear it?'
'Huh?'
'Would you wear it out if I bought it?'
'Yeah. Why not?'
'Okay. I don't mean anything by it hor!' Marcus said, and the others laughed.
'LOL! I know la!' I retorted, and continued shopping.
My aim was to finish all my money in that store. Marcus overheard me telling Tina that at the cashier and he was like 'Okay lor, I help you finish lor.'
Haha.
When we got back to Singapore it felt so different.
I wanted the trip never to end gah.
But it did, but it was still great at cell though.
Even though I missed cell the next day Tina told me Edmund had changed alot. He got so high and even talked back to Auntie Pauline! ;D
HALLELUJAH PRAISE THE LORD! ;D
OMG I'm praying hard that I'll be able to go on the church camp. Praypraypray! Tina, Ed and Marcus are going I think.
I'm glad we all went on the trip. I'm so happy that the mission trip actually happened.
We shall spread the love to the rest of the WHF!
I love my cell! ;D LONG LIVE THE WHF!
