OOTY CONTINUED! :D

day 3 18/12/07

it started raining non non stop. the morning was a stark contrast to the previous day's morning. low lying clouds were flooding the area, you can't even see what's 100m ahead of you.

but it's also super interesting cos' you get to walk past the clouds and feel the droplets on your face.

symrna tribe that day. which means mural painting and more painting.

went marketing with the welfare team to buy paints, brushes and everything.

lazy morning with liu hao to come up with designs for the computer centre.

and that was the start of my affinity with J.R. ((:

marketing for paint was madness.

i alws do mural paintings but i was never in charge of selecting and buying of paints
back to work after lunch and another impromptu thing popped out.

r a j wanted me to follow him to select the flooring for the computer centre.

totally uninformed. totally unawared. but just followed. TII. TINS

he brought me and beeee to some shop and alas! shopping for flooring in the rain.

it was quite an experience honestly. i never moved around on an expedition like this before.

and then we took an auto back from the city to symrna home.

the auto ride was crazy cos it felt like we have to go down to help push the auto up the slopes!

the walls were all peeling and we decided to scrape off the previous paint which proved to be a very bad move. it was physically taxing, straining and totally unproductive but it was the best method to make our murals look more even and prevent it from peeling later on.

i am very sorry to my other tribe members cos' i left them helpless in the computer room while shopping for the floorings.

worked till the sun were down and there weren't any lights.

felt like we did a lot and could finish dinner for 10 pple!

dinner was niceeeee! MEAT!

but everything was still orangey in colour.

more cauliflower. masala powder. curry.

debriefed. too cold to stargaze.

day 4 19/12/07

continued mural paintings. and more mural paintings.

early break for lunch and it wasn't ready yet so we played bluff.

i am a loser at bluff. anw, i thought the leaders think that my tribe is damnnnn slack.

work halfway and then slack.

continued mural paintings. sketchings were up. base coat were done!

dinner time. and debriefed.

still too cold to stargaze.

and still raining like there's NO TOMORROW!

it was so cold we were praying for snow but i was still secretly praying for sun

before we scraped off the peeling paint and repainted it blue.

after a hard day work!! :D

todas!!!! :D

mural painting brings the tribe together. we got more time to talk to one another. to share our experience. to sing songs. to gossip. to laugh at all MY F9 jokes.

it was nice though conflicts and displeasure may arise.

it aalways do right? but deep down, we still care for one another.

the trip just gets MORE egggg-citing! :D
