Back! Can't imagine how much i miss SG! Esp the chicken rice, the hokkien mee, etc... Life in Shanghai was wonderful, apparently Chinese in china are very hospitable, so i dun think i lost any weight at all, maybe even gained.. But after touchdown, after waking up from a deep slumber, i am beginning to miss Shanghai, already...

I miss:
The "木板" matteress that i slept on for the past 2 weeks
The 豆浆油条 breakfast in the morning
The other breakfast menu items (蛋饼,麻球,锅贴,etc...)
My handmade 胶子.. =)
Walking down 德平路 to 罗山会馆
Jason's early morning "singing in the bathroom"
The lemon green tea and minute maid orange that everyone always drink
The early morning sun at 4-5am
The chinese accent and 上海话(which i classify under gibberish)
The 网吧, and the chinese CS and dota inside (火在洞里面!)
Having beer on the table almost every meal.. (other than breakfast)
The exotic dishes that we had. e.g. turtle, pigeon...
The children that we taught during the 3 day camp
The children that taught us during the 3 day camp
The YEP team

Yes, it has indeed been a memorable, life changing exp... I hoped we had made an impact as big as how the Shanghai YMCA described, being history makers, making a breakthrough in a foreign land... I can go on forever abt how the trip was, abt the tiny lil details that are so memorable, we can sit back and laugh at it over and over again... But i think the main point is that through this 14 day in china, we had seen God work in us, be it when we are serving the children, the YEP, our ourselves, we really experienced the fact that we can do all things thru He who strengthens us... And that, is the most impt lesson learnt..=)
