getting fatter.
yesterday was our day off, and it was really a relax day, had a really great lunch, and an even better dinner. and there were hardly any teaching to do, so we just spend most time sleeping and playing settlers. haha, sounds horrible. we are all getting uan (fat). but food here is really quite cheap. haha bbq buffet for around S$4 per person.but today was a really packed day. had tons of students coming down earlier in the morning. i had to answer a phone call at 6am this morning somemore! cus everyone was still happily sleeping in bed. had to try so hard to get the student's hp no and try to make her understand tt someone else will call her back later. anw, today's students were really enthu. unlike the other students who usually come to just learn abit and play games, today's students were all out to learn things. which kept us really busy. i had to teach 2 groups of students for 4 hours straight, one group of english and another group of chinese. haha, but it was really funny to teach chinese. cus the Thais cannot pronounce the word yu. so they spend so long trying to learn my name and the word fish. haha, i felt like i was teaching a singing class sometimes too. XU-UE. XUE. sarah was quite amazing too, juggling between 2 grps of students with different english standards, and Shaun had one whole group of girls to himself(learning some chinese love songs somemore), and ruth was having a hard time teaching the girls how to play bingo while learning english. but all in all, it was pretty satisfying day, meeting alot of students, with many promises tt they will come back again soon(:
just a notice to our loyal fellow supporters. we are perfectly safe and sound here in Lopburi. we have no trouble from the protests. but do continue to pray for us, cus we will be leaving for Nakon Sawon tml. and prepare to handle KIDS! gosh! (sarah's gonna enjoy herself) yupp, we are gonna to stay at Nakon Sawon for about a week plus, during the time of the OMF conference. will be coming back to our beloved youth house on the 30 june. keep praying for us k. may not have internet access there, so might not have updates so frequently.
hoho, tts one of the famous Thai yummy dish. yam plaa dong fu. the english translation is like some fried catfish rojak salad. haha, but its really good.
haha, tts lunch at a Thai restaurant. courtesy of Ann cus she made us missed our rock climbing session. haha, so sad, we had in exchange a nice lunch at a cool restaurant, instead of a sticky hot humid day touching rocks.
the waitress felt tt sarah was too fat, so didnt give her rice. sarah! time to lose weight.
and after our delicious lunch, we had another even better dinner.it was a bbq buffet dinner. haha, sarah hard at work cooking food.
Peung! always acting cute!
ruth busy with getting more food.
our visitor during our bbq dinner. look at tt dirty dirty dirty person scratching the cat! so unhygenic! AIYO!!!
grp shot(:
sarah stealing my student. haha, anw this girl is called pang. her story was quite amazing too. first day she came, she was so shy, that me and ruth could barely teach her any english. we thot she will probably never come back, but she came back day after day, even on our day off. haha, now, all 4 of us have taught her at least once, and she's getting very comfortable speaking in english and speaking to us. trying to teach her how to say andrew lor maak.
guitar lessons with top and pun.
oh, this is a testimony to how greedy the girls are. we bought the gummy sweets just 1 day ago, and we only left it in the girls' room for one night!! and both packets are totally gone....
...empty packets...
