Haha.don’t worry, I won’t be such a baddy and bored you guys to tears with the details of what happened each day in dreams 5. I wanna you guys to experience it for yourselves anyway =D.
All the chaoda(which I will get even more chaoda cos of speech day rehearsals), mosquitoes(thank god they hate me!),chickens and roosters clucking every day, getting only a few hours(5 mostly la)of sleep and carrying around that stupid luggage(which made me look like a fool) was worth it! I am missing dreams 5, terribly! First of all, I need to tell u all a very important detail, I brought along the wrong bag, the hand-carry kind and not the haversack kind ( hence, the looking like a fool part) but everyone was nice enough help me with my stuff la so, thanks guys!
This expedition, what can I say, inspire me to do things and look through the world with a different point of view. Cliché but true in lots of ways. The 12 of us barely know each other(other than bryan and adeline la)well and if it wasn’t for this expedition, we wouldn’t have known each other at all cos we all run in different social circles. Anyway, we were forced to survive and tolerate each other for the past 4 months from the planning to the execution. The friendships that we formed there were strange and to recreate them here will be nearly impossible cos we are all back to our group of friends. Not to say I wouldn’t want it to happen, I want but the environment doesn’t allow it.
I miss the Saturday meetings, the lame jokes(which if I were to tell you now, I will be wondering whether you really got it or not), the support, the kindness, the gossiping sessions late at night with the girls, the determination, the facilitation sessions( we had a few memorable ones),the surprises and passion that dreams 5 brought along with it. I would say construction had the best bonding sessions simply cos almost all our inside jokes were created there, teaching had the most to learn from and cooking was the competition part( to see whether we can prepare lunch on time; to prepare the most delicious dinner/lunch). All of these, priceless!
3 weeks till I can see them as the way I saw them in PBP.
1 day till campfire and jie’s bday.
2 days till GGS carnival.
And I really need a good rest and my holiday is poof! Gone up in a pile of smoke, productive but I need 1 day to be a slacker. Just 1.Then you can start killing me again.
I want the pictures and we need to organize a gathering soon, as soon as everyone is free.
Btw, andreas, adeline and lianyi, we still tight?
