just came back from 30 hour famine camp! haha. started on sat at 2 pm to sun 8 pm! i survived! :D

worst experience ever is surprisingly not the lack of food but the freaking lack of sleep. freaking cold that i could not sleep at all! damn! plus i did not have a sleeping bag. must invest in one... i woke up to find a corner to hide and sleep but in the end i still could not sleep well. damn pissed off.

other than that, the game was fun. i became a hiv infected child in a family of 11. my family leader was kinda cute. haha. anyway, they are unknown people. haha. and we were supposed to look for jobs and the children were supposed to be educated. and hiv infected people must get their hourly treatment. so the two hour game was quite tiring for me. plus the hospital is always closed... and i did child prostitution to earn money :D sh and sm also but sh got aids from it. haha. but this was just a game for us to realize the condition in the real world. made me realize that you cannot really blame the people cuz this is the fastest and easiest way to earn money.

i lived in ethiopia! haha. and sh, sm, bl, eh lived in uzberkistan. meaning, i was not in the same group as them.

but i met nv and zy. they are really fun people. especially zy. what a sense of humour! and zy is from the same school! haha.

that was the first day.

second day started with morning exercise... quite weird since it is like yoga at the second half... followed by newspaper collection! yes, going from block to block for newspaper. morning was killing cuz i knew i would feel hungry in the morning. but i survived and never felt hungry in the afternoon :) except for headache and lack of sleep!

we were given sugar drink occasionally and also mineral water. went to toilet many many times...

at the end, there was a concert! there were break dance and some singing... super fun! cuz this group 'eic' was really nice. they sang some really funny songs. and funny jokes. want to get their album in august! they came up with this pick up line :

hey babe, do you want to falala with me [huh?]

still have no idea what falala means but their song was like that. haha. really cool band.

they gave a dry fish burger from bk for break fast T.T

but mc got cook chicken soup waiting for sh and me! haha. super sweet! thanks, mc. [hug! :p]

ps : i did not bath for the whole 30 hours :D haha. too cold! i think it is really easy to feel cold when you are hungry. i am basically freezing all the time T.T

but i still think this does not let me really feel what the kids in those countries are feeling. we will never experience that. and hey, they really need help. they were showing this video clip during the concert about a place where the experience what the kids are going through through role playing. like listening to the story through the headphone while moving from specially decorated rooms to rooms. i think that really worked. but that is only in oversea...

oh, and wished dad happy father's day! dad is sick. well, heard from sis but should be ok now. called him several times during the famine camp too. guess i am really still a kid... :p

now, time for some sleep T.T
