Hey hey faithful readers!!
Been trying in vain for the past 3 wks looking for an update?? here it is!! a short summary of wat i've been doing so far.
Spent the 1st 15 days in rural village in the mountains... did a little construction for a pri sch (carrying stones and soil ard), did a little interaction with the kids (it took a while to get used to their lack of bathing), did a little trekking (climbed a nearby mt twice, went to a scenic valley twice), did a little field work (toilets are self-dug among trees, goats, sheep, pigs, etc), and had fun with my teammates (i hv to say they're nice ppl coz 1 of them is looking over my shoulder as i type this now)
unfortunately the 3 girls i'm with hv discovered i'm banging away on my blog so i hv to describe them now. but since at this moment they are discussing bargains so i cont. typing.
in the village, i had to take care of the sick and injured... fun at 1st but soon i got a bit overworked... but at least i didn't mess anyone up. food was kinda bland but at least we could request to the cooks (2 young local girls) to cut down on oil and salt and etc. one thing to note: crapping in the wild is LIBERATING!!
yes, crapping means shitting, as one of my frens found out from me in this trip.
had 3-4 days of R & R... but it was kinda more like Rushings & Restrooms. we were rushed from attraction to attraction on tourist bus and by foot... walking dunno-how-many km to some china uni... slipping off wet rocks on western hills and caves... and lots of ppl were going toilet every hr to release the unhygienic, oily food.
now i'm in lijiang for my trip extension... in a grp of 11 - 6 guys 5 girls. all are fun ppl, and we hv lots of fun together... only 2 problems: we were kinda ambitious, planning to cover all tourist attractions in these few days and a grp of 11 is large and slow to move/decide... not a problem with the ppl, but the number. it's something i didn't plan on... oh well. there'll be other opportunities to travel. anyway, i'm more or less over china.. hahhah
will return to kunming tml nite, leave for bangkok the next day and return to sg on 1st july. my flight touches down at 9.20pm, if anyone is interested *ahem ahem*
well... i dunno abt this trip. on one hand it's great to be in china... but OTOH i'm kinda tired of being in a big grp, and feel a bit aimless liao....
my 3 girl frens with me are hungry liao... so gotta sign off. anyway to indulge them... they are cute, fun gals... great to be with... simply irresistible...
dear readers.. u know i didn't type those words.
I'd like to think that there is some method to my madness, some control in my chaos.

About Me
- Rockie
- Singapore
- A guy stuck in a university course he finds absolutely no interest in. A guy who wants a journal for his thots, to capture snapshots of his mind before he loses it to exams. A guy who loves variability and variety, who always yearns to wander everywhere, to expand his horizons. A guy who can't sit still, who'd rather be kayaking, trekking, diving, sailing, phototaking, travelling. A guy who irritates his frens to no end coz he's unable to sit still. A guy who find joy just standing on the peak of a mountain, overlooking rolling hills, lush jungles, wide open spaces. Or on a boat in the middle of the wide, open ocean. Or interactions with animals, wild or otherwise. A guy who wants to improve on himself, thus needs to record down his thots to find out how he can. Also needs an avenue to vent his negative thots. In short, just a guy, just slightly different from everyone else. >>>> Finally, he is free. and he can't bear to delete this, which is an entry itself.
