day 1 - lesson planning

woke up EARLY in the morning on the first day to get to the airport. i'm glad i stay in the east.=) met up with the group whom i only knew shiyun, zihua and jun. felt a lil out of place, as usual, but at least i had them as company.=) here's a photo of us at the airport.

jun looks quite unglam huh.=P

we reached phuket airport rather early as well. look at the bus we took from the phuket airport.

actually i didnt think it was as bad as i expected. other than the leakages, basically i thought the bus was quite well-maintained. haha.


the four of us plus emelyn on the bus.=)


zihua and i on the bus.

here are some images of the school with the children playing in some of the pictures.

the pump in which there's a lever to pull when water runs out; our bunk with mosquito nets; the computer room; the next 4 photos show children playing, there's a bball court and a sepak tekraw court; the building that is nearest the entrance of the school; the forest with a chicken walking in it. heh.




some little kids and i. aren't they soo cute?=P


jun and her usual self. heh.

so that concludes day 1. during the day, we were mainly doing lesson planning, which was tough considering we had no idea what is the standard of the children's english. the toilets and bunks weren't actually as bad as i thought. toilets were clean at least!=)
