I’ll be waiting outside 'til you’re ready to go

Won’t you come down? Come away with me
Just think of all the places we could be
I’ll be waiting, waiting on a brand new day

         -   Brand New Day – Kodaline

bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

        We went to Malino on Sunday at 7 o’clock. Mr. Yassir and his volunteer students came to pick up us at the hotel. There were 2 Thai students joined the trip, P’Sum and P’Yung. When we arrived at Malino I felt the cold from the weather and the atmosphere was dewy and decent. We played game with Indonesian friends. They prepared game for us. We had to eat crackers tied on the ropes. They played this game on Independence Day. The last 4 people will be punished. Aomsin and I were 2 of the last four. I was close to finish my crackers but Nutcha stole my scence. (TT) 

Flag Race

            We presented Thai flag race. We divided into 2 team; Thai and Indonesia. And we always won. When we won we dance hippo song, the song from our university welcoming ceremony. When we finished dancing we saw 1 teenage boy sat on the hill and he was rolling on the floor laughing. 

            After that Mr. yassir took us to Malino Highlands. That place is beyond beautiful I felt that I could touch the cloud. I saw hills covered with the cloud and the golden light shaded on some of hill. I wish I could capture that moment, although that moment will be last long with the picture but the beauty isn’t as much as we see by our own eyes.

            Then Mr.Yassir led us to the waterfall. We had to walk down the hill over 6 kilometres, I guess. Seeing many people walked back from the water, made me realize that we didn’t arrive at the waterfall yet, how far was it exactly? Walking down took us that much energy, so how about when we went back? We had to hiking. That wasn’t cool at all. It was too late to go back, I’d rather keep going. We finally arrive at our destination.

            When we got back from waterfall, we walked around seeing tea field, garden, and strawberry field.

            Before heading back to the hotel, Amin called us to line up because he had an announcement but first he had to invited P’Sum and P’Yung to say something. They said Mr.Yassir really mad at us because some of us always travel the town alone and next year this campus will not accept our university. They are just Thai people in foreign land who accidently get to know us, so they actually have nothing to do with us. But it was like they are being accused too. So we must’ve been punished to please Mr.Yassir. We did 40 fast squats. Considering we’ve just walked over 10 kilometres. That was outrageous and unfair.

            Then the secret was reveal. We got prank from Thai students. They prepared the role with Mr.Yassir and the rest of Indonesia students. How could they do that to us? How could they?
