and
10. The non stop sobbing and crying when it was time to go and even the macho hunks were tearing and sobbing (haha winston, are those tears i see?) and also da wei shouting "in my soul!!!!!" like a madman while the viet kids were sobbing away and waving furiously...
well there is a saying
take nothing but pictures
leave nothing but footprints
but this time
we took away more than just a bunch of pretty photos
we took away the cheers and blessings of the 80+ kids of TCH Tavan Secondary school
we left more than just the footprints of 33 students and teachers from IJC
we left our hearts and our love for these kids in Tavan Secondary school in Sapa and left behind memories of fun, laughter, joy and brother/sisterhood that can never be replaced.
Goodbye Sapa,Sweet dreams children of Tavan Sec Sch

Go check it out! Mr Sim's blog. There are pictures too! (:Okay, My top ten moments will be... (not in order of course)1. Meeting people from Sweden, Korea, Spain etc etc. To recieve the friendly smiles and questions was a pleasure in its own.
2. The farewell. So hurried, so rushed. Someone gave ratings for our performances and the Vietnamese' performance. It was apparently 3-0. I thought this was funny. Nevertheless, had loads of fun dancing. Or at least trying to. I should have picked up the nine-step dance. Darn.
3. Bus 1, The Six Stars and One 'F' a.k.a. The Seven Stars after the 'F' became a star. Together Forever. Cheesy Westlife hits ( I still wonder why they got soooo many Number 1 hits.) Britney Spears. Piss like the river. The chattiness. The laughter.
4. TPF. Tea Party Friends. Oh my gosh, I laughed so much at these sessions I might have lost weight. Okay, looking at how much I ate over there, guess not. Anyway, there was no tea but there sure was a lot of gossipping. It was some crazy out-of-the-world fun.
5. Facing the same breakfast for erm 6 days. Thank goodness for beef noodles, banana pancakes and cheese toast which we sadly discovered after 4 days? ( By the way, 10 days with no dirty toilets! This is an achievement. However, not much water. Very unhealthy.)
6. The drinking. Highlight was mainly due to the quantity some drank and then boasting about it. It's not cool. Not cool at all :1
7. The group of children some of us developed photographs of. The look on their faces when we gave them the photograph would be something you would never see in the eyes of Singaporean kids. They smile, almost sillyly and show the picture off proud. Though they don't say thank you ( which would make it superlyduperly nice) the feeling was just as heartwarming.
8. Some people were just annoying. Tolerance and group dynamics noted. Ahahahah. :x flirting?
9. Jingwei's drunkedness and affair with Viet boy. &&& the " ehhh... Vietnam" incident. When I think of this, I just want to laugh. Seriously. Dearie, is he still in your pocket? (: heheheh
10. The farewell and Bus 1 came last. It was heartwrenching for a random girl whom you probably thought was laughing at you all the time comes up to you and hugs you. Calls you by your name and tells you to take care. Utterly utterly sad sad sad. Twins that are always so enthusiastic in class. Always fighting for a chance to answer. So full of zest for life, for learning. & what do we do? We scoff at our education system and complain and don't pay attention. It's really the society that you're in. I hope iProject made a difference in their lives. Small or big, it's technically up to them to decide how much we mattered. ( Woah, that was emotionally draining.)
As you can see, I miss Vietnam like hell.
The beef noodles, spring roll, beef fried rice, having coke ( woohoo!), the weather, the people, the language barrier, the air, the sun, the wind, even the briefing room. At least I'll be in Vietnam if I was still stuck in that room.
Okay... & somewhere somehow, a certain Pinky will be wondering
Where's 11 ?!
Okok, for you I shall have Number 11th moment in Vietnam.
11. The teachers. I think My Jeffrey Lim was downright hilariously naggy, lame and well, very lame the whole trip. The other side of teachers we saw. Mr Yip, ever so careful and gracious in giving us beauty tips. Mr Sim, who was very normal. Maybe abit drunk at times. LOL :x Miss Wong, who was perhaps wooed by a teacher with a centre parting. HAHAHAHAH. It all adds up to a helluva time in Sapa, Hanoi. VIETNAM!
OHHHH.
Sorry. Not worthy of a place but that laser incident freaked me out. Pretty badly until at night. When we were supposed to sleep. Chey. Company really helped. Thanks Arshad and Hafeez for scaring the shit out of us. It helped. Honestly not too scared after that. Thanks to the guys who accompained us and didn't laugh at us or what. That really helped too.
I enjoyed getting my hair cut there too. Abit weird but I just like it. It was really cheap too.
I enjoyed the rickety train rides too. Maybe I'm just damn weird. I mean, I complain lah but when I look back. Fun leh. Never brush teeth though.
I really miss Vietnam.
Doing one post on that just because I thought of Vietnam the whole way to YCK & the whole way back, missed shuttles because of that and just really really want to impulsely fly there now. ( Jingwei, you're not alone) I think I have alot of money. Hoho. I couldn't afford it even if I wanted to.
Vietnam techno is sadly flowing away from my head. Hum it to me more frequently ok?
This is promptly called CrazyFaces because we were trying to be crazy. We basically went crazy waiting to see Uncle Ho. I realised I love making collages. LOL. LOVE. Take so damn long lah. ( which was what I took 3 hours to do.)
This blog post was a pleasure to write. Maybe you can write down your top ten or eleven moments of OCIP. Remember to check out Mr Sim's blog frequently too. He mentioned something about a Top Ten Quotes. Maybe someone can beat him to that.
