I did so many things and so many things happened. But if I say everything, this post can be very long winded. By the way, I went there for Mission Trip not
During most of the days, we stayed at this Church. So okay, this Church is kinda warm, dirty and messy. It's like gross. But when we stayed on top of the mountain on the 2nd day, at the Hallelujah Resort, it was cooling and there were some Singaporeans staying there too, OBS( Outward Bound Sabah). I liked that placed... in the day. Because when the sun went down, and the lights are on, the nightmare starts. MOTHS everywhere! Thousands of them EVERYWHERE. Even grosser than the Church. So there was this passage of the girl's toilet, and the Moths just stick there. Like thousands. I was so scared that I actually cried and the girls had to cover my eyes and lead me to the toilet. I actually didn't know about it, but in the morning I assumed they were all gone. Creepy. Luckily we only stayed one night there. This was kinda ironic cos at first I did not really like the church but when I saw how scary the Hallelujah resort was I wanted to go back to the church badly.
While on the mountain (
Some of the nights, we had a girl's night- we also had two girls which were not from same congregation but we bonded and we had a lot of fun!. Quite cool. I learned that you should sleep in the multiples of 3. As in you should sleep about 3, 6 or 9 hours if you want to be energetic in the morning. Cause' in 3 hours your dream cycle will be completed. Just keep that in mind. The boys also bonded, they kept singing/ changing the lyrics of songs. Weird=) But that was one of our objectives of this Mission Trip. Building a stronger bond.

> Smoke come out of my mouth- Twice!
I really had a lot of fun. On the last working day, we had this Youth Rally at a Church and I think it was quite a success. Though we still had some technical difficulties, we know that nothing can stop us from Praising God. We were all very happy when we said our last word. The Reverend was also grateful to us for helping the church that he treated us to the best dinner we had of all days. Thank You!
Went back to Church, had evaluation which was about 2 hours. Everyone shared. I loved that, so cool. During that evaluation, we planned the activities for the next day. At the end, we decided to shop for souvenirs. I bought many things that I did not have enough space in my bag. After that we headed for another shopping centre. One
