The realization of a dream of a long time simply feels so surreal to me and time just accelerated every step of the way towards and during the project.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank God for His many countless blessings, that...</div><div></div><blockquote><div>Somehow through various channels, the sum that we prayed for just came in and all was sufficient for the camp...</div><div>I had just the perfect team for this camp. Lots of team dynamics and just the right people with the right skills for the various tasks needed at camp...</div><div>The day trip to Terelj unintendedly became our reccee trip for the camp as the campsite turned out to be just in the national park and hence we could arrange for the hike and horse-riding session for the kids...</div><div>When we still could not find translators just 3 days to our camp, our tour guide whom we met at our day trip in mongolia before the camp agreed to work as our camp translator and we found out that our guesthouse owner is an english teacher and she helped us to get her student to be our camp translator as well. All in a few hours, we found 2 good translators who played vital role in our camp...</div><div>Despite some communication issues and inefficiency, all the arrangement for transport, food and logistics still materialized, and all was transported to and fro campsite with the limited vehicles...</div><div>I could share about God and encouraged the kids in His ways and edify them in their walk as all the kids at camp happened to be christians as well. Thank you for the initiative that they took in asking us about our religion, which allowed us to find out that we share the same faith. And how I miss ending each day of the camp with praise, worship and prayer time...</div><div>All children, volunteers and mongolian camp staff all had a great time at camp and greater understanding of each other was established, inspiring the mongolian staff to do their part and help these kids as well...</div><div>We met a boss of a korean restaurant whom have been helping out street children and the poor living in the landfill for the past 5 years. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity that she gave us to visit her children shelter and to follow her to the landfill to feed the poor. </div><div>Thank God for equipping me all these time for this trip and giving me the right people to assist me. Thank God that I picked up korean which turned out to be so much more useful than english in mongolia. </div></blockquote><div> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/TERJP3NF6QI/AAAAAAAAByA/jYIyGmbW2g0/s400/P1080306.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495597982164576514" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></div><div>While its pretty heart-breaking to hear of the children's living conditions and to see the harshness of life reflected in their worn-out eyes, it's also heart-warming and inspiring to know the dreams that they hold and the love that the children have for each other and for us. I guess everyone of us was moved by their love for us (always taking care of us and putting in their best effort to be good children and student during the camp). And I'm just really really happy to know that these children have had a wonderful summer camp which they had so much longed for, and from which they had gained much love and knowledge from us. </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6666;"><i>God bless these your children.

Fortunately the delay was accompanied by the airline's thoughtful free hotel stat for the night till the next morning where the flight was rescheduled to. <br /><br />Anyway, looking out of the window as the plane flew pass Mongolia was just magical. The vast green pastures dotted by white tents scattered in clusters n the speck of buildings where cities were spelled the fulfillment of a long time dream. Just amazing. <br /><br />But once out of the airport, reality set itself in. Ulan bator is just simply out of my imagination. The supposedly breezey summer was a myth. Instead I was greeted by the sultry heat waves that clings and envelops the air. Where's the breeze? It was just hot air. It's so amazing how a country can have both extreme ends of weather. N besides the weather, i also found that yak meat was just such a myth. <br /><br />But anyway im happy. Thank God that though the buildings were shabby, the interior of my guesthouse is decent n my new Mongolian friends cum guides were really sweet. <br /><br />So here I am blogging on my phone in my cosy sauna like room. <br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://picasaweb.google.com/sswl.stephanie/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCKeZ29jH5N7RvQE#5486316129918014434'><img src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/TCNPc9FCU-I/AAAAAAAABwo/diTIhuw94pE/s288/iphone_photo.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />- Posted from my iPhone<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241122698770106688.post-466130814256815132010-06-17T12:53:00.002+08:002010-06-17T13:00:35.620+08:00The Professional Gold Digger<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/TBmqrhCTTRI/AAAAAAAABwc/BElEQp2i9nM/s1600/IMG_2387.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/TBmqrhCTTRI/AAAAAAAABwc/BElEQp2i9nM/s400/IMG_2387.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483601685879409938" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/TBmqrG3mXgI/AAAAAAAABwU/yKX_3bi7K1A/s1600/IMG_2390.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/TBmqrG3mXgI/AAAAAAAABwU/yKX_3bi7K1A/s400/IMG_2390.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483601678855200258" /></a><br />I'm really graduating into a professional gold digger with this project. 3 consecutive days of bazaar is just no joke.

Went down to the zoo w Laura on e 1st day. E lovely gal skipped all her classes to b with us aww. Followed by dinner w so yeon jk jinny n Laura n the day ended with our Chinese poker game session w Laura n Jackie. <br /><br />The next day was spent just chilling out at fashion valley n driving to LA. Stumbled upon sunset market along our way at Oceanside n it's pretty awesome. <br /><br />N after a torturous night of flight, we finally arrive in NY n joined by e rest of our travelling mates. NY is pretty good so far. It feels really different from California n much closer to e America we perceive on TV. Pretty cool n I'm looking forward to seeing more of NY tmr!!<br /><br />N again welcome J!

Guess in the 3 months time, I have developed a sense of attachment and familiarity to the place. In the cold freezing environment here, I really just miss the sun, the beach, and the warmth of california. The cold that isnt really all that cold. The cold that's refreshing and not bitter or biting.</div><div><br /><div>Kingston is a real small town and I guess it is a really fun experience even at getting there itself. I had to change 3 flights to get there. San Diego to Chicago then to Toronto and finally Kingston. And the last flight to Kingston was really cute. The plane was sooo tiny and I was so tickled and amused to find out that there were just 9 passengers and just 2 rows of seats in the plane. So I had both the window and the aisle seat. Awesome. And the pilot announcement wasn't made through the PA system but really just him getting out of the cockpit (which we have full view of) and physically making the announcement. So the journey there was really fun (and torturous at the same time). And I'm so thankful to have sam to drive me to the San Diego airport in the wee hours and my friend and her two sweet friends picking me up by cab from the airport in Kingston. </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62K9EDeYZI/AAAAAAAABjc/CRKVXvR-Qgo/s400/P1050252.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453167505480507794" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62K9n4fmpI/AAAAAAAABjk/aX4gygTxqpw/s400/P1050253.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453167515098126994" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62K97obi7I/AAAAAAAABjs/JN0LEqIoA0I/s400/P1050255.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453167520399461298" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></span></div><div>Anyway 2 days in Kingston was spent lazing in my friend's dorm, shopping and clubbing. It feels so good to see her again after such a long time and I'm really grateful for her hospitality. It really does feel like a second exchange minus the school work. Just the lifestyle immersion. Pretty cool experience. Strangely I also found myself in weird instances as my friend had noted such as attempting to wear spring wear in 3 degrees celsius at the jetty, and last night's running to the liquor store to catch it before it closes in our full thick and heavy winter wear in negative degrees celsius temperature. </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62K-X7eC5I/AAAAAAAABj0/MRvpMAsY2Io/s400/P1050293.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453167527995509650" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62K-j38WZI/AAAAAAAABj8/2rqr3wKRjwg/s400/P1050294.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453167531201943954" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62QxG213JI/AAAAAAAABkc/4tqquLbsMQQ/s1600/P1050307.JPG"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62QxG213JI/AAAAAAAABkc/4tqquLbsMQQ/s400/P1050307.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453173897144163474" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62Qw_bPnfI/AAAAAAAABkU/X6kboDqRmi0/s1600/P1050309.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62Qw_bPnfI/AAAAAAAABkU/X6kboDqRmi0/s400/P1050309.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453173895149362674" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62QwQKRB4I/AAAAAAAABkM/l-MfXxs6-RU/s1600/P1050310.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62QwQKRB4I/AAAAAAAABkM/l-MfXxs6-RU/s400/P1050310.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453173882461685634" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62Qv47zntI/AAAAAAAABkE/wz6_AQe6fF8/s1600/P1050312.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62Qv47zntI/AAAAAAAABkE/wz6_AQe6fF8/s400/P1050312.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453173876227022546" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></div><div>And today was the big travel down to Toronto for the weekend. So why the word big? All thanks to the bunch of airheads at Canada Coach, we were delayed to the next coach and had to arrive Toronto much later. Such a crappy system and nonsensical staff members who refused to admit their personal mistake and company's inadequacy. Even the coach driver in the next coach who witnessed our being "bullied" pitied us. But i guess these few months have really toughened me up and I take no nonsense. So though there's still unresolved problem and displeasure, at least I can say that we had shown ourselves not to be any asian pushover. </div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62RX3-qVLI/AAAAAAAABk0/ZTLArIBaWAo/s1600/P1050316.JPG"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62RX3-qVLI/AAAAAAAABk0/ZTLArIBaWAo/s400/P1050316.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453174563165328562" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62RXX2O3KI/AAAAAAAABks/X-HnQyth1NY/s1600/P1050318.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62RXX2O3KI/AAAAAAAABks/X-HnQyth1NY/s400/P1050318.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453174554540039330" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62RW6261FI/AAAAAAAABkk/-rQj22KynsA/s1600/P1050326.JPG"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rYlbeACt1Lw/S62RW6261FI/AAAAAAAABkk/-rQj22KynsA/s400/P1050326.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453174546758292562" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></div><div>And i guess the coldness does translate to the coldness of the people maybe.

And really thank God for sam who drove me to the airport and lost sleep as well. It would have been real freaky to go there alone.
