.
we/re playing the game goose and duck










us, doing banners for the carnival tomolo.




ngee ann poly went to this orphanage b4 too (:












this is where we hang our clothes after we wash them.

our dinner.. simple and nice.






























eal\rly early in the morning, we packed up, and headed for kampung thom.

we were heading for the orphanage under Dr Castro's care. it was quite a journey. more than an hr? to pass time, we started playing some silent game. A would draw a first picture, and B would interpret the picture, and get the last letter of the picture. B will then think of something that begins with the last letter for the first picture and den draw a second picture,. and so on for C, D and E.....it was kind of funny to see howabstract the pictures get when it was passed on to many hands, and it was just plain ticklish to see how others scratch their head and rack their brains to figure out what rubbish the previous innovative guy ha drawn. one such example is, the last picture is a tree. the next picture has to begin with an 'e'. and chang yao drew 8 strokes. representing 8!!!!!! stupid right! i did one that made eliza go mad. the last picture ends with an s. and i drew just a dot for her. guess what it was? its singapore on the map (: mean little huisan. but we had a good laugh aint it? (:

mid-way, we stopped by a place to go for some toilet break and snacks. we saw ladies carrying fried crickets, fried spiders and some unidentified stuff. it was gruesome.
davina suggested some angel mortal game last night. we had to draw lots, and whoever name we drew, the person will; be our mortal. the mortal will not know who he's angel is. and the job of the angel is to care for his mortal secretly. like, buy him a drink, write him an encouragement card, etc. and so, i recieved a chewing gum from my angel. whaha..

den we set off, and reached the orphanage, and was so warmly welcomed. a banner was hanging at the entrance to welcome us! so sweet arent they? we unloaded our luaggage and settled into our bunk. it feels alot like camp, cos the rooms were just plain double deck beds, a window and a fan. our afternoon was spent drawing banners and preparing materials for tomolo's carnival at a primary school. at night, the children had a performance to welcome us. they sang with actions. it was very cute. i think i recorded a video on that. we played squirrel and hunter and the handkerchief game as well. it was a long day, and we hadta prepare for the carnival; the next day. some of them hadta rehearse a skit, and it was ever so tiring. i was kind of worried cos i was in charge of the carnival, and i had to give a speech to tell the children what is all we are doing.
and so, i slept at 2 plus.
