Omg, I miss Thailand more than you!
Back to the trip –>
Day 5
So in the morning, after breakfast, we get packed and cleaned up the school first. After that we headed back to the hotel. Waving to the children and the thai people there was very heartbreaking. Ok lets be honest, seriously I’m gonna miss the area since it’s so near to nature and everything else. So healthy! Anyway, before we headed back to our hotel, there was a stop to be made.
Yeah, we headed to some elephant reserve. I think it was Maetang Elephant… Anyway, the trip was nice actually. The start was totally boring. Showing the special talents of an elephant. Nearly everyone went to sleep. Next was the elephant ride, which was totally worth it. I rode it with Syafiq.
Behind us was Syakir and Nenek (Azmi). Soon they caught up with us and went in front. The ride was totally bumpy and it was kinda of a coffee, just in actions. I totally woke up. Anyway, the area was filled with dung and it was dirty. Just plain dirty. At some moments, the elephant aimed his nose on me and squirt or sneeze. Maybe because I kinda pushed him with my leg on his neck that he went angry. Or maybe because we didn’t buy him food. Oooh such evil beings (Us). After a while, we decided to buy him some bananas just as a reward. Still, that don’t count of me being sprayed. It aimed me not Syafiq!! >.<
After the elephant ride, there was the ox cart ride which is heading towards some riverside restaurant. There, we had a buffet. The picture is taken from the inside of the restaurant after I finished my lunch. Then after that we went to the river rafting station. Actually something tragic happen here.You could ask anyone who went for this and they will say something like:
Zul fell down into the river when he was rafting. The bamboo pole went in front of him. He don’t want to let go and went down with it. He save the pole. Chey.
Lol, that sums up the whole river rafting. I was drenched wet. And the IPod…. well ask Jermaine, he know what happen to it. Luckily I didn’t smell. Because the area I fell, not a single dung was to be seen. So after the whole thingy, we went back to the hotel. I bathed and tried to be thoroughly washed. Then we went for dinner. After that went to shop again. Bought my dad and mom something. Wanted to buy another shirt but don’t have enough money. Damn you starbucks. Yeah, I spent again in Starbucks. Irresistable Coffee. After that, we went to the hotel and went to sleep. By the way, we nearly got beaten up by some guy because we moved away after much bargaining. He gave us like Singapore price!
Day 6
Was a total rush. Breakfast. Airport. Waved to the Thai people. KRAP KUN KAP!! Then, Card. Plane. Airport. HotDogs. Plane. Airport. Home. Yeah, nothing much happen. It was a total fast-paced day.
By the way, you see the thai facilitators picture. The far left is Pi Beau. The far right is Pi Kratea (Mikhail flirt on her). The second from left is Pi Wan (Syafiq’s Admirer). The second from right is Pi Oui.
Anyway, there would be a second post later in the day for my b’day wishes. So yeah stay tuned! 
Omg, I miss Thai-barians!
Hey back to the trip –>
Day 3
Woke up and breakfast. The first job was to teach the pre-schoolers. I was in the Games team. I tell you, these pre-schoolers are very very cute. You might even fall in love with them. Anyway, we teached them how to play Mother Hen, Hopscotch, Catching and some stupid running ‘race’. Then after that we played soccer again. Soon, it was lunch. Something shocking, Khalis and I saw a girl peeing at the corridor. Super Open. Well, what can you say, the people there are very open. After lunch, we went to the nearby roads to clean it up. More of beautifying it. We need to shovel up the leaves and plants that are taking the road. And, we’re doing it uphill! How tiring. Raking the leaves was kinda fun. Lmao. Anyway, on the way up, Khalis and I made a startling discovery. There were pigs! or pig and 4 piglets! They are black. The pig is totally fat. And and the piglets were kinda cute. Okay, enough talking about the pigs. Non-halal beings… Anyway, then we played soccer. Mr Teo joined in! Blimey, he’s a bloody good finisher. In the end, 9-8 in favour of my team. So unlikely for me to play last man for the rest of the match. After that we went bathing. At night, it was normal. Shared some jokes and laughed to sleep.
Day 4
Woke up late. Then had breakfast and got ready to go to the secondary school. We’re gonna teach them! I got teamed up with Syakir and Mikhail. Syakir couldn’t speak and Mikhail expected me to do the talking. Shucks! Still, it was a good experience. In fact, the only thing we were able to do together was to play hangman. Then we played soccer with the secondary school kids. A over-build guy and another guy kept laughing at us while playing soccer. Lol. If only I could understand thai. Anyway, after the soccer, we took a group photo. Anyway, there was this cute girl! OMG! Sad she wasn’t in my class. Syafiq keep talking about her. Lol. Her face like very familiar. So, after that we went back and played soccer again. At night we had steamboat dinner and campfire. It was damn fun. Sing songs and shuffled. Then after the whole campfire, we light up Khom Fai, a.k.a Thai Lanterns. I shared with Syafiq. Ours went off second but got stuck on a tree. BLIMEY! So after all the Khom Fai have went off, we had lemang. They said it was a delicacy in Thailand. Of all I know, it is something I eat on every Hari Raya. So, this one is just more plain. Just plain glutinous rice. I ate alot that day. After all the eating, there was a debrief, which allows us to stay up as late as possible since it is our last night. NCC went to wash the dishes. This exclude David, Azmi and Mom. Khalis, Mikhail, Syafiq, Syakir and Me did the jobs. The others went to help the scouts.
So, we had a mini discussion with us and the thai facilitators. Suddenly Yue Feng come. So from there we had some mini talk. Then Pi Kratear and Pi Wea gave us Thai names. [Pardon me the spelling because I can't read out what they said] Syakir got Nong Lek (Small). Khalis got Nong Kheng. Syafiq got Luffie. Mikhail got NoNei. I got Lugie. Don’t ask me the meanings, they mean something but I just don’t know a thing. Anyway, then after cleaning up we chatted about stuff, mostly about gay. Khalis and Mikhail got tricked being gay. Pi Suchat (male) was rather weird and was acting gay. He got 3 piercings on his left ear. Lol. So later Mikhail flirt with Pi Kratear while I played soccer with Syafiq. Syafiq was training in the morning. Then, the facilitators go near the camp fire and played cards. They thought us a new game. Mikhail was being a totally flirt. The facilitators wanted him to smile but he said they kiss he smile. F*****. After a while I get totally tired and went to sleep. That was like 3 or 4 am. Lol, 2 hours of sleep perhaps.
Well, the next part will be done tomorrow. Tomorrow’s my B’DAY!! WOO!! In fact it’s Azimah’s too.
Omg, I miss Chiangmai. I didn’t get you a lousy magnet either.
So day 1 was such a long day. Because of the very long transit flight and also because we woke up early and slept pretty late. So yeah, it was a bloody long day.
DAY 2
(Awkward position) 
(Taupok)
Seriously, I don’t know who snapped this photos. Anyway, we woked up early. I was the one who did the wake up call. Yay me!! So, after getting ready we went down for breakfast. Then we headed down again after taking our stuff before setting off to the village located at the mountains.
(The famous Luffie handsign)
(Gay with Sandman a.k.a Azmi)
(The caucasions in front of our 4WD)
The journey was super long. It felt like 2 hours. We had a pit stop at a supermarket and bought all necessary stuff including COKE!! So, then the journey was super fun. The 4WD went up to the village and we nearly were thrown off it. The destination was a Pre-School School. We stayed there and it was totally fun. The first thing we did was unload. Unwary of the dogs. As days passed, we were used to the dogs. The best thing is that there is a football sand area in front of the school. So we nearly spent the whole day playing soccer. Oh so fun!!! Unlike Singapore 
. Then in the evening, we played soccer with the thai people. They were superb. They are like Arsenal except they can finish. Blimey, we lost 1-0. Early goal. I and Khalis was playing defense. Kevin played the mid with Azmi while Syafiq and Syakir attacked. We actually scored but because of the stupid bench, it looked like we didn’t score. So, well it was quite worth it. Then later at night, there was a briefing. Then the Thai Girls/Facilitators were laughing at Kevin. Calling him Om. The meaning is Pretty Boy. Lol. We played some games. Then we went to sleep. Except Derrick a.k.a Hellboy got bitten by an unknown creature and his hand swell. I and Syakir got knocked down early and went to sleep. -_-
So wait for the next post and it would be for day 3-4 since I don’t even have pictures on that. Cya. Loy Kathrong
