Mission Trip 2010-Orlango

Mission Trip 2010-Orlango
Pic above: at the port of Orlango.... Nice place right... really make us felt like jumping into the water then... hahaha

After touching down on 12th June at Ceb Lapu Lapu... we left lapu2 for Orlango on 13th june early in the morning at bout 5.30am...

Shi Yi and me, on our way to Orlango at 5.30am

Yes (the pic above with Shi Yi and me) that is how it is like at 5.30am in the morning... so we kinda have some "sunlight orientation" to adjust ourselves to..cos at 5.30am in SPore.. the sun is not even out and not that bright yet la...

Anywayz.. Orlango- its a fishing village that for the past few years of mission trip we will definitely make a trip there.. (Last year we were split into 2 teams and my team didnt manage to go as we were in iloilo) and I love Orlango....and looking at the pic above (at the port) you can see the reason why we love orlango....

Some snapshots of Orlango/ on the way there...

Church at Orlango

This is the church that we usually visit and also have our crusades and ministries in where we work with Pastor Rosila and Nellie..and this year there was Pastor victor too....its always nice to see them and i really like visiting Orlango church.. kinda sad that we din managed to stay overnight this year...

Street shots

Gladys was in charge of sharing with the children and i supported her in it.. and we gave out balloons to the kiddos and they were soooo happy.. The look on their faces to see us (some of them have grown sooo much since the last time we saw them) and many of those we saw the past few years have already grown up and either are in the city to Study or have been called to be fishermens like their father...

That's the way of life there... there's so much potential in the kiddos and the church there is doing a great job in harnessing their potential, teaching them basic/foundation for them to continue their education future.... Its good to see how the church there has grown.....

We had lunch with the church members there before we left for Lapulapu city..to have youth fellowship together with the youths there.... We had our favourite mangoes... but this year no SHelly-food... guess didnt had time too.. but yeah the food was great and it was absolutely great to be back at Orlango again.... would really wont mind staying longer in Orlango... but well God has other plans for us.. =)

Mission trip-Lapulapu

Mission Trip 2010-Lapu Lapu City
Pic above: airport send off
Its been almost 3 weeks since we came back from Cebu...So I shall start compiling my Mission trip pics and thoughts...

Well planning for this year's mission trip started in April.. initially only 2 or 3 signed up for it due to the crazy High price of the air tics to Cebu..but we prayed and decided to do a fund-raising as we have faith that if one is willing and wants to do God's work.. nothing can deter us.. So yupz more youths signed up and we kicked start our fund raising etc and by the end of it.. a total of 11 of us (including Pastor Rebecca) went for the mission trip..

God provided more than enough for us-each paid their own airfare but accomodation and food at Cebu were all taken care off by God!!

This year's theme was "One choice, One way...One God" we wanted to bring across the message that in life we are given many choices, but we have to make the one right choice... there are many ways to go but there's only one true way to eternal life... and its through One True God!!

First group of the team left on 11tth June on Friday night, while MeiMei and me left on Sat morning on 12th June... and hey they came by to airport to pick Meimei and me up... and yes finally after 15days of not seeing each other.. i was finally 'reunited' with Leongie.. (he was there much earlier since 28th May for work)...
The team had a warm welcome from Church of God (COG), Lapu Lapu... Pastor JA came by to pick them up from the airport....This year.. we didnt managed to hang around much in Lapu Lapu... our schedule was pretty packed and most days when we were in Lapu2.. it was times for rest and sleep... but we did had a Youth fellowship time with the youths of COG Lapu2 and that was fun...

COG Lapu Lapu Youths..

It was amazing that some of the youths actually recognises and remembers us... it really feels like family to be back there... the warm hospitality and the wonderful friendship we forged with friends there.....

The weather was hot indeed..but well kinda think I've grown used to it...haha it was more bearable then before...

Our transport around Lapu2

Yupz... nothing more to update about Lapu Lapu... stay tune for updates on other cities, towns, villages we visited.....

KL Trip

KL retreatThat's my favourite, most Yummilicious dessert ever in KL-Mango Lou.... just by looking at it, it is already super duper appetizing la.....

so yupz.. Leongie and me went for a short weekend getaway over the Hari Raya weekend... went over to KL together with Noel, Seng Yip and Pauline... and we stayed over at May Suan's house which was Superb...sort of like a resort, huge and nicely decorated....



So since we had a nice place to stay in for the 3 days that we were there.. most of our time was spent in the house actually- watching DVDs, lazing around... We went for a massage on day 2 that we were there too.. and a hair cut session on Day 3...Noel, Leongie and Me visited a church on Sunday too...

Our last meal at May Suan's before we came back to Spore..We were all too lazy to go for dinner outside.. so we da bao-ed KFC, and well chilled abit more before we left to be back in Spore... lala...

Was a great short weekend trip..and I think such holidays are great... lazying around.. no running around doing shoppings or sight seeing... oh no.. growing old le...

We came back wee hours in the morning last night (at 2am) and was super tired by the time we got home..and Well i took leave today..and am home...just woke up.. preparing to go out soon at 3pm..for an important meet up at Simei... and tonight... am going to meet JASMINE... Yes she's back in SPore....

A day trip to Kukupp

Gellies went to Kukup...

GEL had a day trip over to Kukup, last Saturday... well we had seafood, went to a pineapple farm and visit a kelong...overall the trip was ok only... we kinda felt the fireflies cruise trip 2 years back was much better....

Anywayz... shall let the pictures show what we did there...

Celine, Me, Pearlyn @ the Pineapple Museumwe were all kinda bored with the museum and farm tour... I mean seriously.. who on earth our age will like such tours? the place wasnt done up nicely (as compared to museums or places of interests like Spore's) and it was totally not enticing at all..... we got so bored and started entertaining ourselves by taking boliao pictures...
that's gladys and her 2 "boyfriends" hahaha
P-Leong and me entertaining ourselves never offend a lady The LeongsThe whole tour bus
