Thailand Mission Trip.

If I can choose a few words to describe the one week long mission trip, it would be THE UNPREDICTABLE JOURNEY WITH GOD.

You must be wondering why UNPREDICTABLE. Though we knew the itinerary of this trip, everything kinda change when we got there. Most of the visits/plans were last minute being told to us, and it brings us to a whole new level of being flexible while doing God's work. It's a crazy ride with Him. It's a very refreshing crazy kind of ride.

From sharing our stories to feeding the poor with medicines and making sure the children swallow their de-worm pills, we all worked as a team for the glory of His Kingdom.

I have been to quite many of mission trips, but this one is one very different one. This is by far the most hardcore I've experienced. Actually, it's not that hardcore la. We stayed at a very nice place called Vineyard Orphanage. I'm not sure if that's the full name of the place. It's something like that. We stayed/ate/played with 24 kids in that huge blessed house. Then, we traveled around Chiang Rai to the mountain areas, to Laos where we ministered to the villagers, to Myanmar at one small church and Chiang Mai and Hat Yai.

All those travelling usually takes 4-6 hours daily for us to get to our destinations. It was tough as we all had to sit behind on a pick-up truck and mountain areas gave me quite bad of motion sickness. Probably because of my low blood pressure also, that's why I feel dizzy most of the time. 100 plus usually makes it feel better. Salt need to increase inside. Hah.

Other than all that, we get to taste the most amazing Thai food ever. Most of our main meals we had them with the village people and their local way of cooking them. Very simple yet very yummy. Not once was I craving for Penang/Western food at all throughout the entire trip. Told you I can live here forever. People there sumore so nice and polite. But not their driving attitudes la. Or manybe it's just their culture. If I were to be driving there, I would easily get offended with the way they honk at you. Haha.

I don't think words can be used to describe this trip. All of us had tears rolling down our cheeks. And all of us had that moment of missing the people there. All of us, seen the side of the Big Man that I believed we have never seen. A trip that I will forever remember, for sure.

Back After Nine Days.

Oh wow. I never realized that it has been nine days since I last post anything! We had internet at the place we were staying in Chiang Rai but then, koko's laptop cannot detect the connection so yeah. 

I'm not gonna post anything on the trip today as I must/will spend time with my precious girls first. 

Is it possible to feel jetlagged even if it was only 1 hour of time difference? Heh. 

It's quite nice that we came home last night to a new flat screen TV and Astro Beyond. Haha. Speaking of being blessed beyond measure. 

It's gonna take some time for me to get use to working mode again. Ahhh. No more annual leave this year. I shall not worry. I shall not be sad. I shall continue be glad :)

I is beginning to feel sleepy again though I is wake up at 10am this morning. 

Oh dear.. 

Spent the last eight days with the crazy bunch and now, not seeing their face in the morning kinda sucks. Ahhh. 

Till then. Stay tuned for tomorrow! :)

3D2N Mad City.

Eight adults and two kids make their way down to KL and avoided all jams on highways. When we were on our way to the mad city, the jam was so bad on the opposite direction, heading towards the island. Same thing when we were heading back to the island yesterday, all the cars jammed up on the lane back to KL. Yay to us! :)

Anyways, we did not do any shopping as we've already have plans for Sunway Lagoon and also did some visiting to relatives. Feels like CNY for sure.

Not gonna talk so much on it. Just gonna post photos in random orders :)

Me: Babe, give me a ONE WORD that is totally random now. 
Koay: *confused*
Me: *explains again with the same word*
Koay: *looks at me* Hi?
Me: Your one random word is HI?
Koay: Yeah? *still a bit confused*

Thus, the title. 

Here's to NO Monday blues tomorrow. Holiday post coming up in less than 24 hours! :) STAY TUNED HOMO-SAPIENS!

Good Thirty Minutes.

Not gonna be able to see her for the next three days. Gone case. Sure miss her like mad. I purposely woke up earlier this morning to play with her, just before I hit the road :)

Salaku LOVES YOU Sha Lynn!

Thankful Thursday.

So, this week I only work on Monday and the rest of Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, I'm on medical leave. And tomorrow, holiday. 

It's been quite a while ever since I have so many days of MC and it's not that fun though I know a lot of people will say that "Wah, no need wake up early!" and stuff like that. The thing is I still wake up at the usual time which is 8 every morning! But I still get myself back to the bed as the two eyes need as much rest as it can get. Even blogging and playing Tetris Battle makes it quite painful after a while. Sad heh. But IT IS getting better. Slowly but surely! :)

Not to mention that during these few days, I've lost weight too. No appetite and therefore, didn't eat that much. Even Koay realized that my tummy also smaller d. Hah. Speaking of him, few days ago when I had this eye thing and haven't seen the doc yet, I told him, "Can you just come kiss my eye to make me feel better ah?" and kissed my eyelid he did. Then, when I went to the doctor's, he said that the infection can only be passed through contact and not by just seeing me etc. So, I told Koay and he immediately freaked out. So funnyyy! I quickly prayed for God's protection over him. Phew.. :)

It's sixteen more hours till we hit the mad city again. This time, with his whole entire family :) I've gotta say I'm very excited to be spending the weekend with him and his family, doing fun stuff like going to the zoo and hitting Sunway Lagoon. Can you believe if I told you that I have NEVER been to Sunway Lagoon before? Yeah.. NEVER. Now, it's never too late to go there :) Two eyes of mine, you better be goods.

After this KL trip, it'll be Thailand. Only one day of rest in between. Speaking of that, I haven't even pack for any of these two trips. 

Okay, time to rest my eyes for a while now. 

Have a blessed Thursday, ya'll.

12 Years Relationship.

So, I went to the Shaik's Eye Specialist this morning to FINALLY get my already-swollen-for-4-days-left-eye checked. 

I didn't think that the nurse and the doctor would remember me but they did. The last time I was there was in 2009 for a minor eye surgery and ever since then, my eyes have been so good until today.

They even remembered both my parents. 

After he looked at my eye and scribble some notes on the records, I took it up and looked to the front page. Guess what shocks me?

The fact that my very first visit to this place was 12 years ago. 12 YEARS AGO!! That's like when I was 13 years old. And that was my first minor eye surgery. Can't remember which eye was cut first. And then throughout the years, I had like total of 7 minor surgeries accumulated on both eyes (I think the left eye has gone through more times under the knife than the eye). Not only that, my last visit before this one was dated back in 2009. Crazy man. Crazy to think that this is one place that I often go last time, like it's my "favorite"place to be. Hah. Well, when I have some annoying eye condition, it is definitely my number one place in priority. Go there sure heal eh. And heal very fast sumore :)

Hoping that this infection will heal by Thursday. Wouldn't want to be looking/feeling like this for his family trip this Friday. 

And, I have got two days of medical leave. Yay to a lot of sleep and rest and spending time a home with baby girl. 

On another note, there is absolutely no appetite now. i just drowned my bowl of rice with mom's homemade corn/wintermelon soup. I need/want my appetite back for tonight's dinner date. It's Japanese fine dine tonight yo. Actually I don't know if it's fine dine or not. I think it's not la. Though the menu is quite fancy. And we won't like spend money on fine dining because it's just not our style. Let's hope groupon/livingsocial/mydeals (can't remember where we got it from) doesn't disappoint us. 

Terrific Tuesday to you all :)

Swollen Sat/Sun.

A weekend with one swollen left eye is no fun at all. It's a struggle to keep the eye open most of the time, but still gotta open the eye what rightt. Hah. And after every few minutes, my vision will be blurred with some watery-pus-thingy. Because I wiped it so often, the skin that surrounds my eye hurts so bad. Appreciate it if you guys could keep me in your prayer :)

Anyways, aside from that, it has been quite a nice Saturday and Sunday (although I woke up at 6am today necause of really bad womb-cramp). It's not like those that I did a lot and stuff like that. It's more of a week where I really rested and spent some nice romantic/playful time with Koay. He bought goldmedalribbon for me just now because I was kinda like craving for it. Heh :)

And now, I'm skipping captain ball because I need to rest again before Sha Lynn's one complete month's dinner tonight. I do really miss playing captain ball, like a lot. 

So now I shall go sleep while waiting for Koay to come home from his futsal session with my brother in law's brother in law :)

Have a great Sunday, ya'll! :)
