went to church on sunday.. on the way back, i took a lemo with the korean girls.. we waited across the road at the junction outside the orphanage. i think shaun and kern would know that junction.. and then there was this gila man... he was wearing a hat, with shirt buttons opened, and his pants had a huge tear, exposing his butt... he was looking at people one kind. and we spotted him. so scary. all those waiting at the same place started walking away. we got scared and crossed the road again back to the orphanage side... the worst part.. that crazy man was spotting us. he looked at us one kind. and then he picked up this huge stone about the size of 2 palms.. and was throwing it in the air, aiming it at us. scary gila. was praying and praying. we walked away, walked down the road until he lost sight of us, then only cross the road again to get a lemo. thank god for keeping us safe. so close la.. phew

started dance prac on friday. thank god that the children here at day care are so much better than what i expected. was really praying so hard for them to catch the excitment and be willing to dance for God.. they cannot get the rhythm of the song or the beat or the counting. but their memory is excellent. so much better than so many of us in malaysia. going to have second prac today. aunt lucille is sitting in today. she was a dancer you know.. she will help with cheoreographing here and there. praying for costumes.. we have to sew them because the children are so poor. not all can even afford to have school uniform, what more dance costumes.

carol practise in the orphanage is going well also. thank god. finished teaching all 5 songs. started with ettiquette. the children there have no exposure of any sort. simple things like how they should stand, how they should carry themselves have to be taught. imagine, aunt lucille is trying to get them to go to phnom penh hotel and sunway hotel to sing.. besides going to the houses of christians around phnom penh. yesterday, did how they should come in, intro, and sing and how to say thank you. this coming sunday, will be doing a role play with food , if the hotels and houses do offer. finger food. im going to prepare sandwiches,egg sandwich if possible, if not, probably kaya or peanut butter.. and also a drink. cordial. will mix it. will be leaving drink in a jug. going to teach them how to take the food. how much to take. how to eat them. how to pour drink. how much to pour. how to sit and eat. what to say and what not to say. how loud they should be talking.its going to be a fun exposure class...haha.. blessed bunch of kids. there are 13 children involved in caroling. the young teenagers about 13 to 17 years old.

dance, there is 12 of them. 8 girls and 4 boys. age 10 and above.

been having alot of team meals.. haha.. fun also... aunty may is treating all international team members to a buffet lunch in sunway this sat. combine celebration for her and uncle johnny's birthday. going to get to wear my baju kurung..haha... to a malaysian hotel.. interesting..haha...

dont feel like going back.. its the peak of excitement and preparation for christmas now.. im organizing the carol as well as the dance. there is a local staff in each to translate for me as well as to carry on when i leave.. but it feels like i want to be there to see how it turns out... haha...

my visa is extended till 5th of february.. so if there is any cheap air asia flight.. in january., before i start classes,.. i can probably come back for a few days... 5 days or so.. and bring friends along la.. since im already familiar with the surroundings and what they do here... shouldnt be a problem to adapt back them.. take it as a holiday while working for God... haha..

spent the night in the office on sat. there was this concert somewhere nearby, a few doors away.. untill 1130 at night. crazy.. dad would love it la.. imagine a live band.. with drums, electric guitar, bass, keyboard, and saxaphone playing instrumental "ye lai siang" and all the oldies.. haha.. can imagine the people dancing... aunt lucille said that house has a lot of chinese influence. thats why they have a lot of chinese songs. but i suffered. couldnt sleep tilll 12 +.. the noise is really deafening
