so, caroling 2010 was one awesome experience! at first we were kinda worried lah. practices and all attendance not convincing. than not many houses called somemore.
but praise the Lord,
he always provides for those who intend to do good :)
so when the day came, we ad a total of 10 houses to visit.
and we had fun in all the houses.
the first house, hm!
kau2 one you know the food.
rice,meehoon,potato and chicken with kicap, and these awesome cakes and pork and veggie!
fuyoh!
good start good start!
and than we continued on and every house had something to offer us.
cakes,drinks,chocolates, and sweets!
there was this one house,were there were two elderly ladies staying.
a mother and her daughter i guess.
the mother so semangat wanna prepare drinks for us until she missed the performance.
and her house got one really HUGE rosary.
according to Ivan,
after pray on that rosary God will surely forgive all our sins one :D
anyway,
she served us cold SWEET sugarcane drink and some fruits.
and than she asked us whether we could go to her sister's house,
which was just down the road.
actually,
we were already wayyyyy behind schedule and were rather cranky and tired dy lah.
but we went anyway.
and when we went the house was like all dark and quiet dy,
so being the teenagers that we are,
we were like,
"aiyoh, why like that one"
we even told the aunty that we could come the next day as we were caroling for two days.
but the aunty said her sister got up dy so we waited lah.
haiyo so long winded right me,
but yeah.
SHE WAS SO HAPPY WE CAME.
so sad you know..
so old dy living in a house alone..
she was like repeating so many many times she's so happy we came.
although we could only sing a about 3 or 4 songs for her,
she was like so very very very happy.
and pack angpao somemore.
so kesian lah :(
i couldn't help but think,
she leads such a simple life yet still gve us angpao somemore.
singing for her i just an event that we would brush off.
classes and our normal daily routines and all,
probably by next week we would forget her existance or something dy.
but for her,
that short time we spent at her house might be her christmas joy and gift or something.
i hope her children will go back and celebrate with her lah.
anyway,
the first day was epic lah.
awesome dinner in the first house
camille getting a big painful kiss from one of the jealous brothers.
adrian almost rugby tackled by a big golden retriever
forsty the dog who had this thing for Shannon's toes and ran around in circle when we were about to leave
this really really cute Eurasian boy from Australia.
that lonely aunty
the Chinese New Year looking house that gave us damn nice punya cheesecakes
and the last house where the Timur Leste children were.
This one also a sad case lah.
I dunno who they are or where they came from..
but there were about twenty kids staying in this house that was somehow isolated from the rest.
these children were under the guidance of these two Europeans.
i mean,
from what i see,
there were not suffering from extreme poverty or what lah.
the had a decent house and decent living conditions.
but they were not living with their parents.
and i dun even know how many of them there are actual siblings.
and they were SO HAPPY THAT WE CAME.
they damn semangat clap after every song you know.
so sad lah when i see things like that. reminds me of how much i take things for granted :(
classes boring lah, food not nice lah.
i dun even know whether they got chance to go to school or not :(
kayh2..so long dy i wrote.
pictures time!!!
