11th December

Saturday. A very good day today! We worked for a half-day, worked from 9am to 11am only, then prepared to walk down the hill & head to Chiangrai City.

Before reaching Chiangrai City, we stopped at somewhere near Ban Jalae (Yah-leh) for lunch. We had noodles finally! Yeah! No rice! I went for 2 servings & the 2nd serving I had bee-hoon. It tastes so good man! Really good. After that, we headed to Chiangrai City.

At Chiangrai City, we all wanted to have ice-cream & lucky us, there was Swensens! Yoo hoo! But I didnt want to just have ice-cream coz we won't be having dinner back at the Yafu Village. So XY & I went out of Swensens & we saw PIZZA! So we settled down at Pizza with the guys & had yummy pizza & pasta.

After pizza, XY & I went to shop ard before we went into Swensens to have Banana Split. I feel so happy after all these good food, but poor Evan, she had diarrhea & is still feeling lousy. Hope she gets better soon.

After the shopping & eating, it's time we head back to the village. That also meant we have to climb up the hill & climbing up the hill wasn't as bad as the 1st day, partly because we were more prepared for it & also that we sang songs to keep our minds occupied during the climb, thus we cleared the hill faster than expected. So happy! We worked as a team. Yeah!

Oops! Stopped for a moment for a bitching session with some of the gals at XY's place. Hmmm...talked abt Terence (he's improving lah! muz cut him some slack) & talk abt the cute guys in this village. Haha! They're our motivation to work ma! Anyway...I dun need them much, as long as I think abt him; that's gd enough!

Although you may not know how much I miss you & how much I really wanted to call you, I'm just satisfied with the way things are. Maybe not really satisfied, but there's nothing more I can complain about.

Now, just thinking abt what your answer was really made me feel quite sad. I remember the day before I left for this YEP trip, I said that when you ORD next May, I'll nt be in Singapore liao (coz I'll be leaving for the US which I never told you) & you replied, "Good lor!" Hmmm...there was nothing much that I could reply to you so I also said, "Okay! Good...hmm...good". Although I hoped you had saked me where I was going, but by your response, I dun think I really matter. Haha...maybe she matters mare since you "顺便" send her off, at least she has a place in your heart.

Whatever it is, maybe it's high time to just let this feeling fade away....
