hopefully i remember..
On the first day we went to airport freaking early...
at 6 we had 2 reach the airport.. sis brought loki
along too.. didnt noe anyone there at first.. only
vivien and yy.. and i rem v clearly tht my butt was
in alot of discomfort.. haiz.. painkiller oso nt much use
.. after that we went to check in our luggage then
went on board the plane.. b4 going up went to get a
gel cos i forgot 2 bring the 1 doc gave.. went on board
the plane and went to guang zhou for transit.. we
bought some stuff as there was 5 hours waiting time.
shopped for awhile then we boarded the plant to
guizhou.. we stayed in peoples hotel for the night..
dinner was weird.. the food is really new.. never eat
before.. it tastes and smellsabit lyk the food my
fathers' thai workers cook.. lol..
Day 2 we left the hotel for this 12 hour bus ride...
it was horrible.. i could not sit for long due to butt's
wound..but no choice.. bus ride 12 hour on mountain
road.. cannot stand.. endure lo.. the breaks inbetween
were real reliefs.. haha.. we entered a small town for
lunch and i bought some fruits.. dinner was at another
place with very low stools... it was near the motel we
had 2 stay for the night.. they only served wine so i
did not get to drink anything.. lol.. at night went to the
girls side to bathe (teacher say can) cos only their side
got hot water bath.. well.. it was quite late liao.. and
when i finished bathing, they closed the doors.. cannot
go out back to the guys apt.. dots... so slept at the foot
of vivien and yy's bed... in the room oso had 3 other
guys and 2 girls..tt was the 1st few whom i met ba.. lol
they started talkin abt ghost stories then to hmm jokes?
haha... tt night abit hard sleep.. =.= keep gettin kicked
and became a leg rest =.= lol.. but it was ok lol... better
than sleepin on floor ba? =p
Day 3.. we went to buy shoes and boots for the trail to
the village.. it was a 6.5km walk there... lol.. quite fun..
took many pics however.. right at the critical point which
was at the welcome ceremony, no more batt.. dots..forgot
to charge battery.. lol.. wasted.. at the welcome ceremony,
we all had 2 drink wine in order to go in.. they also played
their traditional instrument.. the wine i only had half the
cup which was 1 mouthful.. man it was strong.. made my
eyes water.. 1st time drinkin so strg alcohol.. and i gulped
down a bottle of water.. as im allergic.. haiz. after we went
in we had 2 cross a stream.. the stream water was
cooooooooooooling.... omg... lol.... went to the bball court to
gather and briefing..allocated rooms and we went to c the
toilet... omg.. was horrible.. tt was the first reaction however
we all got used to it in the end.. lol.. lucky tt days cooking
group was nt my grp.. cos damn shack.. the 1st grp did the
cooking.. lol.. poor them..
For the next 9 days, we stayed at the village..
Bathing
first few days we bathed and washed clothes at the stream..
lol.. more and more ppl got injured at the foot like simone
and jing shun.. and i also found glass fragment in the stream..
so after the 3rd day in the village we didnt go to the stream
to bathe le... but bathing there was fun..all the splashing and
washing and scrubbing.. everyone bathe together.. ( of cos
with clothes on =p ) after tt we went to the bathroom to
bathe.. its made of wood and had 2 cubicals which
is covered with canvas... haha.. and the water was.. v cold..
such that when u scoop the water with a cup, there wud b
condensation at the side...lol.. it was mountain spring water..
the stream was of the same temp too..
Cooking
When we were the cooking group, yy vivien went to buy the
stuff i need to cook with while i prepare the ingri for lunch..
everyday our meals will have kangkong and bai cai.. bean
sprout and tofu oso.. haiz.. lol.. i was the 1 doin most of the
cooking, quynh fried the tofu tho.. lol.. did quite afew
experiments with the food.. lyk oyster sauce for the egg and
oyster sauce for the meat.. haha.. on the 2nd day tho we
were nt the cooking grp, i still went to the kitchen to fry egg
fr some of us.. haha.. cos everyday porridge or noodles for
bfast.. abit sian... lol.. use till no more gas.. haha.. we went
outside to build fire to cont frying.. the cooking grp oso
needed to wash plates and wash toilet which we did as a group
=p
We did some work lyk trying 2 level a hill.. we took 2 days
to level half of it and when the excavator came it took only
half an hour.. haiz.. we also moved big rocks to the
upperstream to make some sort of a stone path for ppl
2 walk across.. lol there was also ploughing
of the padi fields and catching fish in it, we caught ducks for
dinner, we interacted with the families through interviews
and understood them better, we took pics with the kids
ard the school, we watched stars, we sang on the last day..
it was a really new experience for me and now that i think
back its amazing how they live so happily even if they have
so limited supplies.. earning 10k RMB a year which is 2k
SGD... some even less..
On the last day in the village, everyone drank alot.. vivien
seemed abit drunk.. was so high..singing all the while.. well
basically everyone was quite high tt night.. even for those
who didnt drink at all lyk Liu Yin.. haha..
after we woke up the next day, we had 2 get everything
down and we all went bck to the town.. to take the 12 hour
journey back.. we stayed in peoples hotel tt night..
21st Sept 2007
We were supposed to to to the waterfall to c it and buy
stuff to bring back but wen ping fell sick.. so we had 2 cancell

shop on our own. lol.. my group was me, vivien, yy ,simone,
