Back from Johor for the mission trip. Dun think it's considered a mission trip though. It was relaxing, fun and more like a bonding thing.

Friday - 21/11/08 (Setting off to Johor)

Arrived in Church at around... 0800? 0815? Waited, prayed then set off at around 0900. Journey was kinda short. Or at least it felt real short. Reached the church there, put down our luggage and rested for a while. Helped out for the children gathering worship and games.

After that went out with church members to house visit. 2 families only though (and I wasn't talking at all...) Was the 2nd group who reached church so hurriedly went to bathe. I have absolutely no desire to 'snatch' or wait for the bathroom with 20 plus people.

Went for dinner after that. Was delicious~ Yummy. Went back to churh after that. They started to bathe and then had sharing session. After which was told to sleep. Started playing cards with friends. The children came ovr though and we decided to play after they fell asleep... which is around 2300? 0000? There was karaoke outside church too and music was super loud.

Played till around 0100 and all was tired so just decided to sleep.


Saturday - 22/11/08 (Going back to Singapore!)

Set alarm for 0715 but woke up at around 0700. Washed up and packed my things. Then went for breakfast with them. Almost left my wan tan mee untouched. There was like more than half a bowl left or something. Just had no appetite...

Went back to church, prayed and left for some fruit garden (果园? (direct translation) ). Weather was like super hot and they used NATURAL FERTILIZERS which in other words is animal manure. It stank but thankfully it was only for a short part of the journey. There was a guy explaining all the fruits and all but I paid 0% attention to him.

After that there was a pond where the tour guide said that there were 999 Koi inside. Children went to feed the fish and the fish were like fighting hard for food. Continued on and there was a mini zoo inside. There were goats and kids and once again the children bought food to feed them. There were rabbits and ducks and ostrich and ...... The funny thing is, there was 2 owls and 1 rooster in 1 big cage separated by a wire netting in the middle. It's like Day and Night. The rooster was like crowing and crowing while the owls were like closing their eyes and trying to sleep or staring at people.

Left after that. Went on board bus and went to have lunch. The food is super nice. Even nicer than yesterday's night dinner. Or maybe equally as good. But there were too many dishes for yesterday night's dinner. Didn't manage to finish off the food yesterday night.

After that headed back to singapore. Made me feel that Singapore government DID do a good job of Singapore and the living stardard in Singapore is really quite high. Grown closer yet to my friends in Church, especially Phebe, Christopher and Zheng Xiang. Really had lots of fun with them on this trip. =) =)
