Hey,
I've been told that the condition I'm experiencing right now is the honeymoon period according P Robert's explaination of Culture Shock.. I, for the past few weeks have been experiencing bliss all the way, as my stay in Thailand as been truly enjoying and rewarding.. Since I've been here, I've already made super good friends in the Thai students here, which are so so COOL!! They never once make you feel out of place and they always lead you to the best places to eat!! And Speaking about food, its just best variety in any country, and all of it tastes equally good!! I'm having trouble keeping my money in my wallet *lol*.. Anyways, I've basicly got to know the Thais better and also participate in a few activities such as Cell Group and going on To Campus to talk with the students..

Hey, From Chiang Mai Mates!!!
It's been GREAT!!! Lol, to think I was just hanging out in Kl at the Curve just a few days ago watching fireworks, and now I'm like 2000 miles away in Thailand, smack in a middle of a coup!! Never Mind, not to worry, coup's over and its totally safe right now, and I'm doing great!! Anyways, I'm at the start of a 30 day journey which is life changing and soul nourishing for me.. I've left everything behind to answer the Lord's call to serve Him in a foriegn land.. Anyways, I woke Up this morning at 5 something ( so early!! ) to leave, and flight was at 8.50 and was so so tiring.. But I was greeted by warm smiles and handshakes from the Rob Reagan, Thais and newfound Buddy Marvin.. How I wish I could learn their names quicker, but they all sound the same *smacks head*.. Haiz, gotta learn quick though.. And then, we all went to Lunch at Airport Mall, which is incidentally where The Interns watch movies in their free time.. Wow, the group here is really really fun, they told me this joke about how to order Chicken Rice from a deaf man which left me half deaf!! Hahaha, Marv's the best of the lot ( mostly because he speaks the most English ).. He was teaching me loads on the Thai language and it was all confusing and all, but I'll learn eh?? Gotta get through it no matter what mate.. Funny though, because the same word, if pronounced differently, can either mean Chicken or Can I please Fart!!! Lol, gotta watch my tounge.. Anyways, had a great day today, after Lunch Rob briefed me about life over here and als do's and don'ts.. And then we sat down ( Me, Marv and Rob ) and planned out the activites for Jan... By the looks of it, its gonna be tiring but super fun.. Then after that Marv gave me a lesson in proper table tennis.. After some football, dinner, a quick shower, we headed to watch a movie at Nui's and Un's place (two of the students here) to watch GOAL!! Ok, gotta sleep soon, because Abby is coming tommorow and there's a prank waiting to be pulled off.. Nites!!

Heya,
Been back posting regularly (yay yay), over the last few weeks so I've been able to give regular updates on whats been happening ( another Yay Yay ).. Well, New Years Eve seems really ordinary and all, but last year, it was so one of a kind ( gosh, last year, got to get used to it!! I also meant 31st Dec 2006, not 2005 ).. Well, I just went over to Wangsa Maju CoC which itself is a real treat EVERYTIME!! There's Adelina, Ai, NingaNing, Caleb, Caitlynn, Uncle Ravi, Aunty Irene, Aunty Nalini, and (my personal fave) CAYLA and CAYLEE!!! So had a GREAT worship by Uncle Victor followed by a Disturbing sermon, which, I admit, shook me.. So after worship, I was spending time getting wrestled to the ground by Cayla and Calyee (which was really FUN!!).. Then My Mum, she told me that we were going to Saravana Bavan In Bangsar to eat, with the added bonus of the Savari's and 2 of the Chong sisters, and also Khuen's brother!! Wowzers, that was a fun experience in itself, 'cause for the 1st time, I had a Chocolate Milkshake ( so sad right?? ) !! It was also super fun having 2 Aussie visitors around too, and at the end, me Ai, Khuen's bro tried this beel leaf thing which they gave out!!! Wowzers, I wonder how Aunty Nalini eats that stuff, Its really really bitter!! During Lunch, I had this tap on my shoulder and I saw it was Darling Cayla, and she asked me to come over to her House!! I was like, no way I'm gonna get my Mum to say yes, when lo' and behold, Cayla marched right up and told her!! Way to GO!! And to add to my Surprise, she said YES!!! So my family geared up for their first ever trip to the Savari home!! So, such a great experience for me obviously.. Playing twister, charades and Scene it.. Such Fun.. I'm really attached to them now, really really.. Regard them as family.. Is that good or bad?? I dunno..
