serve sabah 06, it's amazing to me how 15 days can pass by so quickly..

the 1st few days of the trip was hard for me personally, we had to adjust to the cold showers, the noisy roosters, and living with ppl i just got to know.

but thanks to all of you, who made this whole trip more enjoyable. i will never forget the fun times we had painting the beautiful murals, playing with the kids, the late nights gazing at the stars, the long walks to the mini-mart & the kindergarten (esp the "short" cut)

during the trip, i seriously wondered to myself "huh, don't tell me i came here to paint, that's all?"..but after the whole thing, i've learnt that giving that little bit can go a long way...like when we were in the kindergarten playing with the children, it was tough trying to communicate with them at first, but when i started to take the first step to play with them, these kids warmed up to me real fast.

after this whole trip, i've learn to appreciate even the small things (like my comfy bed, hee). i've learn to accept each other's differences. i'm amazed at how fast we bonded after playing rounds of bridge & daidee

P.S: (personal note to myself) please don't let me board the same bus as any sabahrians, please please...i think claire & tony understand why, haha
