Sa wat dee kah… Sa baay dee reuu? (Good day, how are you?)
Gin khaao reuu yang (Have you eaten?)
Heeee…. Life is getting real exciting for me!
In just 18 days, we (CG & me) are going to Chiang Rai!!! *clap clap clap*
Everyday, I try to collect a little information on Chiang Rai, read up on the culture of Thailand – the To do’s and the Not to do’s, learn a little language, etc.
In buses & train rides, I try to say a little prayer for myself, CG, the CG there in Chiang Rai, the people that we will be reaching out to…
In all honesty, I feel that I am so inadequate.
It’s like "Alo! I dun even really do street evax here you know!? How to evax to the people there?" *Scratch head*
The last street evax I did was Eh… Let me THINK!!!
OH NO I can’t remember!
Anyway, enough nonsense…Indeed, fear is there… But so is excitement!
I do hope that I can gain lots out of this trip though it’s just 4 ½ days.
Can’t help but start to recall my mission trip to Zambia in Nov 2002.
That was my 1ST mission trip and my VERY 1st trip to Africa too!
I remember in that trip, I didn’t have much time to do physical preparation cause I was busy praying that God will soften my father’s heart so that I can go. Haha!
That was indeed a faith trip for me.
Having faith for my dad to permit my departure.
Having faith that God will provide me a job when I return. (Jobless then)
Having faith that I am monetarily provided to go.
Amen amen and one more amen!
As I pick up faith to obey and go, God open all doors for me.
2 weeks before the trip, my dad gave his Golden Word "OK"…Thank God for the NSS (shares), insurance, flea market sales, blessings from brothers and sisters, I went.
When I return back to Singapore, within a week, I found a job that I rejected a month ago cause of the trip!
It was amazing to see how God works and EVEN as I type out now, I still am amazed, goosebumps still filled me.
I believe in breakthroughs.
Small or big, I believe in it.
And I want it too!
I am believing for greater things in my life and I want to claim and seal it in faith!

Tiger: *Ahem* Let me explain. Basically in office, I can't post comments or add post, etc. But I can send emails and I can go to Internet Websites. Thus that's why, I reply through bday card and emails. :)
Chiang Rai is up North in Thailand. Above Chiang Mai. I think I am leaving around the same date as you. When exactly you leaving? Which part of Thailand you going? Which team you going with? I didn't seem to remember seeing you at the Missions Training day eh.. last Monday (Or was it last last Monday)
I didn't exactly do much research la.. Just read up on the demographics in Thai.. :) We can share some insights since you are going too!!!
darling: Thanks! Will await your email. =)
Long reply ~ Tiger u must be satisfied now !!
Ahem.... du du du
oic.. haha... I do it discreetly.
Oh, I couldn't go for the missions training because I had guitar classes on the same night.
err.. need to check where I'm going. I just know somewhere in between I'll be going to changmai. The North Thailand also (main place) of course. Now South Thailand is in state of emergency, hope doesn't affect our trip. Leaving on a Friday early evening I think? (haha.. now u know how bad I am)
satisfied? I dunno.
