I am going to intro you THREE guys that inspire me alot in this trip.
This baby boy is called mosses. He is 3yrs old. He is the youngest kid that i get to know. He is not only cute but he is learning english thro computer at such a young age.
This bigger boy is not only helpful but he is super keen in learning chinese.
This guys is called MOP!
I heard from his boss Robert kee, that he used to be very lazy when he first started work here. Examlpe: His collague hurt his back and Robert ask him to carry the tool box for him. Guess what he do? He went to look for another person to carry. hee... somemore he always MIA during working hr. But 3 yr later he is a change person. He is very hardworking now and had a heart of wanting to improve himself. He even take up english classes so that he can communicate better to forigner like us.
Service Learning Moment: They are so desire to improve themselves. Especially in learning English. This make me so pai sei that i got a good education but i dun treasure it. But thro them i am even more inspire to improve my english.

Service Learning moment: When i lived in this place for 5 nights, I learn from these kid abt simple living. They are always so joyful despite they have so little things compare to me. One day i went into the toliet to bath. the queue was so long. I was like diao how long should i wait till my turn. Die le i sure kena more bites. While i was thinking abt this.A girl came out from the bath room. It was turn for another girl and i heard this" Sisiter sister here." She pointed at the bath room. She let me go in first. Wow! i was like are u sure. (This type of thing will not happen in singapore. Everyone only thing abt themselves first)When i walked pass the rest of the girls to the bath room, all of them gave me a smile. I cant feel the unsatifisation from the rest that i cut Q. When i was bathing half way, i feel ashame of my act. Why i cant wait. Just because i am a guest or so call higher status than them i took advantage of them. "The poor always get bully by the rich." Back in singapore , those who are more talent will look down on those stupid one. I feel sorry for this unjust treatment. This is the cruel of the world. I learn from them what is simple and giving. I shouldn't look down or take advantage on those who is not as good as me. But to help them.

Zzzzzz Zzzzzzz ZzzZzzZzz KISSES.
Why Me?
I am the most serious one among them.
I want to take off my shoes to see see look look.
After soap distribution, i stop and check my itch leg.
The whole leg swallow.
Found out got so many.
Not just many but BIG and RED also.
I am too afraid and quickly hide inside here.
Yanyan in the mostique net.
Provide from more bite.
Sevice learning: Singapore i miss YOU.... I feel so bless that i am Singaporean. A place without scarely bites. I know that after 7 day all this bites will stop. This bites also remain me abt what Pastor Jeff preaching. As a christian know abt the end result after died. We will be with Jesus in heaven if we keep in this race. So i know the end result i will be back in singapore no matter what after 7 days. So it brought abit of comfort to me. I also have a better understanding on how David feel when he was chasing by his enemies. MY QT book was palsm. I felt a bit dry on why David keep on repeating on how the enemies chase after him. Yet he cant do much only hide from them and pray to God. He really trust God for his protection. He prasie God for every victory. I think i some how in same situation like him. MY enemies kept Kisses me. I can only run far from them but i know i was protected by God. Because I never get fever despite the serious bites.
Thanks JC! I am safely back in Singapore.

Count down to my Cambodia trip.
Yesterday midnight, I was packing my thing for the trip. I put all the clothes and stuff on my chair and wanted to take out my bag pack. I cant find it. I was so frustrated. Where is my bag? I thought it may be with my auntie.
Next morning, once I opened my eyes, I gave her a call and she told me the bag wasn’t with her. Only this bag is big enough to put my stuff. My mind went blank. I feel doing nothing and stone there. Why did this happen to me at this very time. WHO took my Bag? Really must said OMG!
God, I am going to the Cambodia, I am giving up 7 days of my comfort here. You know how fearful I am toward the cleanness there. If i dun have this bag I cant bring that “pamper”thing there. 'J& J' are carrying luggage because they told me this is easier. 'A' told me that she can lend hers to me. But I still think that bag pack is easier to carry. But now….
At that moment I dun feel like going to church service. I feel like staying at home and angry. Then I ask myself, Why do I want to choose to be angry and give up meeting my Lord. Some more last yr I promise my cg I will not skip church even I am discourage. (I isolate myself when I am down last yr.)
I make a choice to go down. I let go all my anger and go with a heart that God is more important than any other thing. I dun show papaya face. I dun want to draw away ppl strength. I put a CHEESE on my face :) . During the service, there are so many surprises for me.
1. The person (Adrain) who shared the testimony was the instructor that taught us abt service learning. I was shocked after hearing his testimony on how God have transform his life. I never expect that in the past he had depression and low self esteem. WOW! It was really God. When I first met him his teaching was really light- hearted and funny. I admit him alot but never know he got such background.Thro him i was once reminded of the vine trees and branches verse. If I continue to remain in Jesus I can do more and better thing.
2.Next is the preaching. It was such an inspire one. It is about experience Joy which I am seeking for. I had stop buying sermon CD since last May 2007. I told myself, I need to rush to get one CD and listen to it again before I go for the trip.
3.The last surprise was the POWERFUL GOSPEL SKIP. I never expect it to be the same as what I saw on the youtube. To me, this is a very high level of acting. Our church have never done it before. Last year I saw this skip at E’s blog.
http://kuaimun.blogspot.com/
I was so amazed by such a good skip. I even left a comment that hopfully we can see something like this being show in our church. WOW! I saw it today. It is as good as what I saw in the youtube. Hee… that not all, I thought I will miss my idol acting, luckily the skip is today not on the actual Easter day.
Yanyan will never forget today moment. It is a tangible touch to my heart. He is real and God truelyloves me. If i choose to dwell myself in that bad situation i could have miss out all these. Thro this it build up my confidence in praising God and putting in firstin little little things.
In this decision making I learnt 3 time,
-God can change a nobody you into somebody great(testimony time)
-I can be a joyful person in (not for) all circumstance (preaching time)
-I need to grow in all area of my life (the ppl who acted in the skip, show me that they can do greater thing as they love Jesus more and more)
I think beautiful moment should not end here, God know my need. I need a bag to go Cambodia. He know I hope for a abig bag, the price must be cheap and hopefully got wheel.
Here it is.
Guess how much it cost? Ans: $13.90.
By accident i found this bag selling at PS.
Now HAPPY Yanyan can pack her things into the BAG.

I haven't been reading my DL blog. When I read abt His 99 Good man project post my heart regarded for 1 sec.
Why for that 1 sec?
This is because
I saw the name list. I thought no one in my unit will go. I decided not to go because most of my cg people said not interested. I peeped on another cg when they did the survey form. Nobody tick YES. I think most of them tick next year. I dun want to go with ppl that I dun really know. But when I saw the name list hmm… Half of them I knew them.
Too late, I had sign up for another trip instead of this. I have taken 5 days leave to go to Cambodia with my cg and Jian Ming group. We will be leaving on 18 to 25 March. We will be there to do community work. Like soap making, well dwelling and painting the place.
All this need a lot of physical strength. I got physical (fat) but no strength. I am worry about the food that they eat, how to bath and the mosquito there. I share with one of my buddy who is going with me that what I am going to bring there. This is her reply - please la, dun be like a pamper child. Hmm.. this make me doubt my decision of going. My mum also discourages me when I do my shopping list with her. Her sentence was Aiyo, why make your life so difficult, dun know go there for what.
I was getting more and more fear when the date is nearer. But I gain a bit of confidence when I attended the Monday meeting on what is service learning all about.
Service - meeting the real need to the community.
Learning - self development.
The instructors taught us how to prepare out heart and to be observation while we are there. How can we generalizing the principle that we have learnt and put it to use in our life.
They post a question to us and it really hit my thinking on why I want to go for this trip.
Q: Why do I need to spend this $700 to this place instead of spending the $ to go for a Shanghai trip?
After some thinking
Ans:
1. I want to see how the poor live.
2. Do I have the passion for the poor
3. From 1 to 10 how pamper am I
I had no turning back choose to go Thailand. Perhaps next round. I really look forward to my trip now. In this trip I hope to know more friends there and also experience something that is so difference here. Of course I want to meet Jesus there.
Yoyo! My dear friends , do you have $700 buck? and a 5 days Leave?
You have a choice Here
Do consider to be one of the 99 good man.
Or you are still thinking to go or not to go because of people that is close to you are not going. Hee… you got 2 choice.
You can either influence them to go or you just go by faith even they are not going.
The camp will really make you refresh and you can learn something out of it.
P/S: My buddies, I know you have $ but is hard to get leave. But I still hope you can consider to go for this one.
Is time for you to get a rest. Do it as a retreat for yourself.(The one way ticket may be yours)
Buddie, Later go and tell your boss that Your Birthday wish is to take leaves and go to the Thai Camp. (Never ask Never Know dun worry abt ur work. Let the work worry by itself)
And here may be your Boss reply.
"Because you ask and I will let you GO!"
Labels: Go for IT.
