Once in a life time experience

after a long long time and im back in blogging.first of all,HI ALL!!!well some of you might wonder where have i been from 26 august till 1st september.no internet excess no phone signal.going way up North.main destination is to Kengtung a small small place in Myanmar.at first is mum call me go with her but i heart is a mission camp(宣教)so i feel like will be a boring trip but what can i do?is an order.hahaha.but after back from this trip,is not so bad after all.i have experience the opposite of my life and see what it feels like to be there.
First stop(KL to Bangkok):
On 26 august,i went to LCCT(airasia airport in Kuala Lumpur).i dont know why but everytime i holiday went to airport sure rain.this time also rain.maybe the holiday time is same with the raining season.after reaching LCCT meet up with my mum and other church member.then we check in for our next stop to bangkok.(15.30-16.40)
Second stop(Bangkok to Ching Rai):
This is the first time i took plane till so tired.when we reached there is already late night.almost reached midnight.plus time in bangkok and ching rai is different with malaysia time.bangkok time is slower than m'sia time one hour.example now is 3pm(m'sia) then bangkok is 2pm.we stay one night at Ching Rai at the christian guest house.is like a villa.no air conditioner only fan.even the water heater for shower used gas to heat water.the 1st time i use this kind of heater instead of electrical.but is not very useful because when you turn the water temperature too low the flame goes out and the water go back to cold but when you turn the temperature back up a little the water will be so hot.so is like pointless for m'sia people to use.rater shower with cold water.(1940-the rest of the night)
Third stop(Ching Rai to Measai[Thai border]):
early in the morning we wake up to be ready to go to the border there to GET INTO Myanmar(a country with government very strict)so getting in need to be very careful.and also have to make temporary visa(i also dont know what is the use.i guess is like an temporary IC for visitors).had breakfast in Ching Rai before going in Myanmar.the border on Myanmar is called Tachiliek.a very OUTDATE city or small town i think.at there all people walk or tutu car(is like half front of mortocycle and half back of a small lorry combine together).buying a car for them is like a dream.it was a cloudy day so the weather wont be so hot.if not will be sweating like ****.1st thing i see when i cross the border is durian!!!is huge man!!!i never see so big durian in m'sia before(maybe there is but i haven see before)the smell recharge my energy to FULL!!!!
Fourth stop(Tachileik to Kengtung):
a short trip which took about 10 minutes to reach the bus stop in Tachileik.then took bus to Kengtung(five hours of bus trip)is like kungdasang the trip to there.cold breeze air and forest,river,mountain.then we change money to buy the bus ticket.the money for 12 people is thicker than my phone.(W850i)because m'sia to thai is RM1 = 10 thai and 1 thai is 21 KYATS(Myanmar) if im not mistaken.is already evening when we reach Kengtung.and the time in kengtung is half and hour late then thailand time.which makes me younger one and a half hour in Kengtung compare to m'sia time.hahahaha.we had our dinner in kengtung and guess how much we ate that night.50k++ for dinner.in m'sia 50k maybe you can eat from east to west also haven finish eat.Kengtung is a small town near China.so the weather there might be affected by the four season.
Fifth stop(28.8.2011/Kengtung):
THis where the real trips begins.early in the morning we went to the local market and buy pork meat,chicken and some vege to cook for their dinner.the market there have no different with our market just the floor is made of mud and there is many weird fruit and vege i had never seen before.going into the centre where kinds and children are left by their parents are grouped here.Our main mission is to come here and share the message of Lord with them and share our happiness with them.About 60 of them.all different age from small to big.the oldest is secondary school form 4 or form 5 i think.The major problem for us with them is language.only a few know english and there is two or three understand chinese.so they had become our translator.Kids nowadays not Apple product then with a minimum requirement cellphone.inside here,you wont be able to see all these stuff.even electricity supply is problem.water?from the well.this is the 1st time i saw a well with actual water inside.the water in the well is crystal clear although the inner part of the well is mud.food?cooked with firewood.there is no such as gas stove for them(try to imagine their life).after the sunday service,we plan for the afternoon activities.we cook our own lunch and they did theirs.i was curious how worse their lunch will be but is better than i thought.is porridge with pork skin.i took a plate and eat.the test is ok just a little big salty.me and other two friends are responsible for the game section and is after lunch.i was so nervous because of the language difference and the translator chinese is not that deep i scare he wont understand what say.but lucky my game is on the third so the first two game by my other two friends took the whole game season time.what can i say?im very lucky or God is blessing me?when i see they play games and follow the command by my friends,they were much more active compare to our youth member i see last time in my church(hope now had changed alot).they really impressed me.makes me see the other side of the happiness.you dont have to live with the "Brands" or fancy accessories to be happy.in chinese is called 知足长乐, means as long as you know what you "had" already "required" then you will find happiness.after the game season we had other activities like handicraft-birthday party and hair cut season.during the birthday party,when we gave them apple and candy and cakes.they were like happy till fly!!although the cake is very normal cake i guess the city kids will take one bite and throw away.all we can do for them although is very simple for us but for them is very great and they are very thankful.after the dinner and we set off and back to the hotel.
Sixth stop(kengtung back to Ching Rai):
well,what can i saw?half day bus trip and visited the Golden Triangle.which connects the four country.Southeast Asia:Burma,Vietnam Laos and thailand.At night,we went to the night market there and had our dinner there.thai tomyam?hell spicy!!!i almost fly up to the sky.there is lots food here.from malaysia>thailand>japan.not bad.
Seventh stop(back to Bangkok):
early flight to bangkok.1st time i took airbus also.(Thai-smooth as slik)is very big and of course comfortable.two hours flight and reached bangkok.traffic jam till my mum cannot recognize me.zzz.bangkok is a little bit like KL but i think i feel better than in bangkok compare to KL.their railway is smoother than LRT in KL and also more comfortable.after settle in in the christian guest house in thailand.shopping time(Platinum).nothing much.clothes,shoes,pants...almost fall asleep.dinner?sushi!!japanese style.wohoo!!!!!!the bad news is that i forgot to took picture coz im too hungry and too excited when i see japanese food.hahahaha.The nest day is still in bangkok.also whole day shopping.nothing much to day.just shopping shopping shopping and there is alot of lemon on the floor(if you know what i mean) =].then dinner?the best i ever had in China town(thailand) beacuse 1st time i go there so it will be the best for me so far.you can see all from the picture.
Last stop(1.9.2011 Bangkok>KL>LBN)
early flight to kl but last flight back to labuan.waited at airport more than 5 hours.lucky is KLIA.if LCCT i think i will die.hahahaha.and thats all.Thx for reading the whole post and Happy Holiday!!
