3rd day. 12th December.
Breakfast was the sugar crackers bought in the market the previous day plus hot drinks (milo, tea and coffee). then we headed off to the market again. today celeste and liqian were cooking, so they had to go market and buy the ingredients. the rest followed to get a feel of how to buy food for the rest of the days too. although, it was the 2nd time going to the market, some of us (me and jean especially) were still quite grossed out by all the flies hovering around and the mega rubbish dump. =.=;; apart from buying food, the rest went to buy stuff needed for washing clothes and dishes too.
after the market trip, we slacked around waiting for lunch to be ready hahaha. oo i think i went to wash my clothes too. if not i would have no shorts to wear already.. haha. the first time wash clothes experience was quite fun especially when you see huili putting too much detergent and ended up squeezing her clothes like mad. HAHA. oo cambodia sun is really very good, your clothes can dry up in like 3,4 hours. towards the middle/end of the trip, people start waking up damn early to wash clothes (before breakfast or after) and the clothes will dry by lunch time. damn powerful sun.
those not washing clothes obviously will go to the kitchen and kpo la. haha. quite fun to see people cook though :) lunch today was pasta with home made sauce made purely from the greenish tomatoes bought at the market. zai zai. haha!
after lunch, we then had dry run for games... games were quite fun leh, we were totally like some kids playing around with each other. hahaha! good job programs team! :) but i think the explanation wise maybe would be actually more difficult with the cambodian kids cos of their english standards.. other than that shdn't be a problem la. ^^
then, dinner followed after the dry run! :) but ya as usual cos it was already dark by dinner time just like yesterday, the insects came again... GRRRR!! so because of those stupid insects, i am almost always the one to finish dinner first. o and thats partly because i was v picky with food so ended up didnt eat much too. haha. good good can slim down. yeps, so i just waited for a few others to finish their dinner too, and we quickly chiong to wash dishes, so i can find some shelter from those stupid insects. >< after all the washing up = the daily night debrief = mosquito killing sessions. seriously those mosquitoes are damn fat and there are many species (small, big, fat, thin, u name it, there will be). whole day kill until the hands are literally filled with blood. ><
tonight was also a memorable night, cos it was fright night. not those haunted house kind, but imagine a room with raining insects, and u will know why it is fright night. they had a sudden idea to put up the mosquito netting covering celeste, sandy, sharan and pamelyn. and it was damn scary cos all the insects suddenly just crowded round the mosquito net. so if u r inside the mosquito net and planning to study insects, you will be DAMN HAPPY. seriously. so when the lights were off that night, the insects just started jumping around... =.=; and jean was the closest to the net, followed by me. hais poor jean, she got scared until cry just like me yesterday. and amazingly i didnt cry. i think its cos i cant see them so i not that scared. and jean was the opposite of me, cos she cant see them so she was damn scared. so both of us ended spamming the insect repellents on our sleeping bags. but there was a buzzing sound near my ears that night, and i just hallucinated myself to think that its apple's handphone vibrating (but actually it was not >< cos apple said her phone was off) o and it was because of this night that gave rise to the sauna sisters (jean and me). we were totally sweating in our sleeping bag but just refused to get out. and we ended up feeling ultra sticky the next morning, like we just finished exercising =.=; i dunno how i fell asleep that night, i must have strong self-hypnotising powers. o.O cos jean told me the next morning she totally couldn't sleep at all or is very minimal sleep.. poor jean... yups and thats the end of the memorable 3rd day.
