hey people. cheryl is back from mob retreat!!!

oh i miss retreat. just love it! had a lot of fun and i learnt a lot as well...

yesterday, had to meet at 9 15. and we did.. at city hall mrt. then we made our way to esplanade for our secret mission.

that. was not nice. cos 1. our handphones and wallets were taken away for this 'mission exercise'
but, 2. we still had our bags.

the first cluw was finding the meeting place which was rather easy. where else can a picture of a durian mean?

then we were given 1.609 km in thai, something like this...

neng. hok soon khaw kilomet

this was also equlilant to a mile.

we were supposed to think of golden mile. well, we did.. hee.

so we walked and walked and walked. the whole way people kept asking if i was ok. or if i needed help carrying my bag which i did not strap over my back but held it with 2 hands in front of me.
anyway, i carried my bag the whole time!! i am so proud of myself. haha.

eventually, we found golden mile, finished befriending the 2 thai friends and invited them down to our retreat. then we had our lunch.

i ate half a plate of chicken rice. irritating elisha asked me if i could finish my food before i even started eating. ( he finished already and wanted more)..

ok next the hostel. i had a non air conditioned place with mattresses in mind but no!!

the hostel was like a hotel. with air cons, nice clean beds and personal shelves, big rooms.... oh my. i was super surprised. the lobby was already hotel standard.

the girls had 6 beds and 3 people since amy jie was sick and didnt sleep over. so i took 2 pillows and 2 comforters. nice!! too bad the guys' room had no comforters.. =( but their room was bigger though. they had 7 people!

had lessons on thai culture, language and so on. i was forced to eat half a worm! didnt want to, tearing already.. but still was forced to. sad...then we had some free time before another session. after the next session we had dinner on the rooftop. it was superb! the view, the wind... we could see the 'batman tower', glowing...the rest of the buildings were so ordinary.

there was chilli on the food so i didnt finish as usual. joshua was hinting that peole would eat it for me. haha. so i gladly let him finish it for me.

we had another meeting in the guys room. this time as we were worshipping i couldnt stand so i fell on the bed and same thing happened as tm camp last year.

after some time i was ok again and even could go watch some telly. i still had time to study...!! amazing! in the afternoon already studied then again have free time to study! i thought there wouldnt be any time at all to study! =)

the girls slept rather early.. then next day i was awoken by timothy. he called my phone to give me details on what time to meet and where. apparantly he canlled yew ya, but her phone was on silent, he called nicole but being nicole she didnt wake up so her called me.
my phone was on vibration mode and being a light sleeper ( i think) i woke.. after quite a number of rings. haha.

nicole woke up in record time, 1o minutes! whee..

we went for a rather long jog. then had some time for qt before team building games. took some time on the games cos it really wasnt easy to do with so many people though we had 7 only.

breakfast was bought by us yesterday during the mission so we ate what we bought.

today was rather eventful as well, with alot of performances and planning. quite fun.

lunch time. alvin told elisha who was sitting next to me.. " hey we shared 2nd helping ok?"

which meant, " hey, we share cheryl's leftovers ok?'

elisha immediately knew what he meant and so did i so i said i would finish all my food. but i still didnt. nevermind.

we went to a thai service after lunch. didnt understand anything but doesnt matter.

the retreat ended after the service. on the bus ride home i was sleeping. haha. tired.

the whole retreat was really nice. i got closer to elisha, joshua and ian. like interacted more with them. elisha is actually this huge monster in a small boy's skin. really. the amount he eats is huge! he finished his meal, my meal, then went to buy more food! madness! plus he is a joker. meaning he makes people laugh at his actions. farnie..

joshua is very gentlemanly. an ivan teo clone. enough said. too bad they are too nice. not for me.

daddy really knows how to teach stuff. really like a daddy. imagine your daddy. ok.

if daddy sees something he can do, like improve or help to change for better so that you will be more comfortable, he will come to you. tell you. give you a detailed explanation and demostration, then help you adjust.

ok. i cant spend too much time cos i have 2 exam papers tmr!!!

will post more in a few days time.
