October has been a splendid month for me! I cant believe it's going to be over soon.
hmmmm in Oct, i:
1. got my exam results. A for accounts! : )
2. had accounts 'tuition' with this really sweet girl, Sam, at Hotel Rendevous. : )
3. went on a 2 week YEP/CIP Thailand (Buriram/Bangkok) trip with Ngee Ann, with a wonderful team of 21. : )
4. ate a fried grasshoper. (it's quite tasty!) : )
5. de-liced kids in a school in Buriram. (it's not as scary as i expected it to be, and the kids were so patient and cute! how not to love them?) : )
6. painted a school in Buriram. Tiring, but worth the effort. : )
7. sat on a scooter. (my first! really amazing! imagine riding down a 2 lane road with paddy fields surrounding you.) : )
8. bought 90 packets of instant noodles. hah yes! 90. but a friend and i shared the packs, so it was 45 each! tom yum flavour. i love thailand food! : )
9. signed autographs. the kids were coming onto us with paper and pen, now i know what it feels like to be a superstar! ; P
10. stood on the edge of a lorry. as there wasnt enough space to fit all of us + the kids onto our vehicles, some of us stood instead. a one hour ride standing, grabbing onto a pole trying to hold on to my life. the cool wind, the breathtaking scenery..aaahhh what an experience! : )
11. got up at 4.30(AM!!) to get my make-up, hair, and accessories done. 4 other girls and i were dressed up, thai style and were made to lead the contingent in an annual grand affair, the Buriram Sports Day! : )
12. heard my name being announed over the system. "Miss Melissa". I waved. they applaused. : )
13. together with my team, were the guest of honour for their Sports Day. : )
14. farm-ed! i dug holes and planted bamboo shoots into the ground. : )
15. walked more than 3km back from the farm to my village. amist plantations fields and greenery. : )
16. learnt how to fold straw hearts. : )
17. learnt a thai dance! : )
18. performed a dance in front of the villagers. and! led the 'choir/team' in singing. : )
19. had a near death experience in Buriram. 5 metal poles dropped behind me, missing me by a few cm. but that has taught me to appreciate my life. : )

21. bought 20 tops, 8 skirts, 6 earrings + necklaces + bracelets + rings each, 5 bags, 4 pairs of shoes, 2 belts and 1 pair of shorts. in 3 days! haha which meant that i spent 10 000 baht. : )
