AHHHHHHH!!!!!
Jenna this is probably gonna be all your fault for bringing up Nan and the whole ocip thing that you've got me missing the whole thing so much that I'm going through the pictures and blogging bout it even if I have 5000 things to do tonight plus the whole waking up at 6.30 in the morning for my 8am class tomorrow.
Such wonderful memories!! I truly, truly miss those times!!
It all started with this bunch of gung-ho people and 3 wonderful teachers for arranging everything. Who could forget the gruelling 5 hour journey up the mountains? I'm not sure if we were in the same truck but sigh, I miss that even. It's not everyday where you get to sit at the back of a pickup truck aite?
And the view up was so so so so amazing! Remember those starry starry nights and all the meteors we saw at the campsite? Still the best I've seen so far :)
I miss campfire too!!! Wouldn't even imagine how it would be like if we were to start one here...
" Aaaasssssssss.........
we walk to the left,
and we walk to the right,
as we walk , as we walk,
as we walk all night.
With the heel and the toes,
and a half turn around,
with the heel and the toes,
and a new friend found!"
I swear I haven't heard that song for more than 2 years now but I still remember how it goes! *beams proudly*
Oh and this too!!
"You put your right hand in, you put your right hand out,
You put your right hand in and shake it all bout!
Do the hockey pockey and .... shit I can't remember,
That's what it's all about!"
And this!!
"Head and shoulders,
knees and toes,
knees and toes,
knees and toes,
Head and shoulders,
knees and toes,
That's my body!"
Oh Jenna Jenna!!!! Remember our modified version of "Edelweiss"??? Wah... I'm damn proud of our M2 kids man..... and remember how the P2 kids always sang "twinkle twinkle twinkle stars" instead of "twinkle twinkle little stars"?? Hehe... and how they always shout through that part but start mumbling for the rest of the song...
Those starry nights at Ban Nam Ree.
The P2 boys from our class!! I wonder if they would still remember us if we were to go back now...
Our M2 and P2 class!! Oh well.... looking at "supervisor" now reminds me of those "supervisor-ish" moments at washing times. Geez... MCP!! I bet he thinks washing dishes are for girls only!
Haha.. I kinda think I'll use this (not the washing dishes part) as an example during interviews when they ask me bout "dealing with a difficult group member" LOL!
Lastly, our favourite hang out place :) Haha... I'll always remember those long, boring and freezing nights at the library...
Making cards for the kids ,
angel and mortal games,
those small encouragement cards,
our meals at the library,
trips up and down the provision shop,
all the weird but absolutely yummy junk food they sold,
the truth or dare at nights and how I got dared to bring Chow Chow to go see Ms Lee and told her how I broke up with my bf and how I punched Chow and said "that stupid guy!",
washing times,
"what is the time now, Mr wolf?",
all the games we played,
teaching times,
your optimism,
your TGIFTs and TGIFs,
debrief sessions ( I hated them! I think I dozed off half the time) ,
the camp definitely,
the photo taking sorta competition we had,
the walks up to the musuem,
the whole internet and calling our parents debacle ( haha, I almost forgot bout it) ,
the bone chilling showers,
sitting around and rant bout the food we missed,
the dance practices,
"we were strangers, starting out on a journey.....",
all the camaraderie,
all the kids,
all the NANOS,
all the people,
Ban Nam Ree.......
Khob kun for all the wonderful memories :)
Those starry nights at Ban Nam Ree.
