Wing Yan and Wilson wedding

Attended Wingyan and Wilson's wedding today. Wishing dem a blissful and happy marriage.

They are like my elder brother and sister. So I am very happy to see them get married!!!

When I reached and was registering, i met Wilson and went to congratulate him. Den Vincent came by with Pam, he ask Wilson, what song are you singing later? Cus we all got a concert ticket. So Wilson said no la, not singing, den me and Pam said together: Xiao zhu song!! Hahahah so damn funny. And Wilson just turned embarrassed. Haha.

But he still sang in the end. It was so sweet. And I'm happy for both of them.

Hope to hear their good news soon. =]

Day 3 mission trip

Started the day with devotion at 630 and set off at 7 to have breakfast. Work started around 830.

First time to a prison. I won't deny that I was abit afraid. Cus I don't know what to expect.

Was busy with the pharmacy. When we were about to leave, uncle Henry ask if I would like to look and he brought me to look at the other cells and where the people are cooking.

While doing that, some stayers came to talk to us. One of them said he is a Christian and pray to god everyday for us to come. And life inside was very bad, there was not enough place to sleep, there wasnt enough food. And they had to cook their own food.

Uncle Hendry ask how long he has been here and he said 10 years. And I don't know for what reason. I was tearing when he was talking to us.

He later told me he murdered someone when he was a gangster and regretted it already. He hopes to be released in 2 years time.

One other guy uncle Hendry was talking to said he used to be a teacher. He shot someone and was inside for 3 years. And will be released in 40 days time.

After afternoon session we went to the market to have a look. I asked the 2 interpreters to bring us along and they brought us to eat some nice food. Thank you. They are so sweet.

We then we for dinner.

Great work for today. I felt we could do more for today however due to rules. Better day tml. '

Mission trip day one

It's the start of my first mission trip. Though it hasn't really started, I'm already having a hard time trying to to blend in into this Christian group who already know each other. As a non Christian, I can really feel outcasted.

For a good cause, I arrived in Phnom Penh around 12 pm local time. Checked into the hotel and went for lunch.

Hotel and lunch is pleasant.

We then went to visit the central market and the weather was really hot and things are worse with Sharon not being around with me. I hang arnd with the aunties and I could really feel that I wasn't welcome. But... Hahahah. I din have a choice. The traffic is so bad and the ppl there look scary. If without them all these I really don't mind shopping alone.

Later met up with Sharon again to pack the medicines. I told them I'm here to help out with pharmacy and ppl were like aren't u a fc?? Any these weird ppl like the ask Sharon in front of me. Why can't u just ask straight to my face?? Bleah. Anyways bottom line, my dip and degree are still of use! Yea!

We went to the shopping mall after packing the meds, the malls pretty impressive. But the power went off in the middle of my shopping. Hahaha.

Ended the day with dinner. I'm already so dead tired. Din really sleep well yesterday. Good night.

Mission day 4

Time passed so fast that I am now now in the forth day of my trip. Soon the trip willl be over and I will be back at work. Hopefully I get some good leads from here. Though there are so obstacles around but I tink with my power of attraction attracting it, I will get it. =]

4th day is similar to the 3rd day. We did almost similar things as yesterday. Having much more fun saving people. And giving out medicines. Though this mission trip envied many of my friends, however I feel there is nothing to be proud of. I'm just doing what I love. I really love to help people. But only people who are really in need. Anyone even friends and families,

I'm having so much fun here with my new friends. I'm so gonna miss them, Daniel, sok pin, so yeong, marlin, rata, Aik and many more. However I loved the day at the village most. I love playing with the kids whom are so sweet. Maybe I have a fetish for kids, but... It's not that I don't like to mission in the correction centre. It's just that there are other groups that are also going there. People seems to be taking advantage of what we are providing for them. And I don't feel that I really did a lot. I mean yes, I can dispense meds, but there are so many people at one station, they don't really need me. I m just there, doing things that I want. They don't care.
Anyway the most important people are the doctors and the dentist. What I would love to do it something that I can contribute and be proud about. I probable have high expectations of myself.

Yup, the trip is good so far!!
Otw back to hotel!

Last day of mission

Ended the last day of mission.

Day started as usual with group devotion and breakfast after that.

We then went to the correction centre to continue our act of love, doctors and dentist seeing patients and me giving out meds. Day ended later today cus there were more patients. Day 1 and 2 were for the more privilege people. The last day today is for the less privilege people, so they are trying their best to see as many as they could.

After wrapping up, we had lunch, and uncle terry ask if I could use one word to describe the trip. What would it be? I tot for very long. And told them great cus I couldn't think of any. Den he ask why. I said cus it was very fun. Looking back i tot it was quite a silly ans. now that I give a deeper thought, if he asked me again, I would say eye opener. This trip broughte to places I wouldn't have gone on my own. To the villages, the see the little kids, to the correction centre to see the in mates.

To see their devotion in Christ. It's really amazing.

After lunch we went back to hotel to check out. And after lunch they had Easter service at the correction centre.

When I walk in they started singing. I don't know what they were singing but some how I teared. I don't know the reason. Is it sad or scared?

Grace brought us to look arnd the prison, they had a class room to teach bible studies, eng. they were hoping to get some computers cus they wanted to learn. She din say how. But...

We den went to look at the kitchen. There were so many flies arnd and they use sand dust to cook. How lucky are we??
There are pigs at the back of the kitchen too.

We then went to sit in for the service. It's pretty amazing/ sad that the people inside are hopeless and they only see the four walls everyday. And their only hope is to pray to god. Not all the people can come out of the cell cus of restrictions. However. You can see their hands from the windows wanting to get some hope. I mean. I don't really believe in Jesus. Cus he probably don't want me as a daughter. cus after miracle life, I love the way life is. And am happy with what I have. I declare, not pray, it works the same way doesn't it? That's why, when I see them kneeing and wanting to open their hearts to god madero tear.

Last year they came, there were only 30% Christian inside, now it's 70 %. Isn't it amazing.

And after the service we were sending off some pastor and interpreters work stayed near the church. And and and...

When uncle terry went to change money for the trip, the money changer have him 1000 USD as she also want to do her part to help. Soo... This 1000 USD was give my to pastor miak, so that he could get the computers for them. I can see pastor miaks eyes. He probably couldn't believe his eyes. If I were him. I would also be touched.

Right now. I have to get back my momentum for work so I won't be left behind. I want to go many many more trips with them helping the less privileged I'm probably still very sua ku. Wanting to go to very very ulu places. This kind of places probably don't exist?? Or I don't know about it.

On the way back to phnom pehn. It will be my last day here. Enjoying my last day so I can start to work hard from tml!!

------------------------------------------------
Back to Phnom Penh and had dinner. Was talking to sino about what she wanna do. She says, she wants to finish high school, den when she have money, she wanna set up a orphanage. I teared when I heard it. It was too sudden. I just tot about myself, I'm not like her with such big dreams, she just woke me up. Not to be always think about only myself but think about others. I hope to see them all again. Though I don't know if we have the chance.
