OCIP 2008

OCIP 2008: Our 6 days journey.


I've never taken Thai Airway before so it was really funny to note how i thought that the flight TG402 was Tiger Airways. But still, I like the colour of the seats cos' they are of such vibrant colours.







From Chiangmai Airport, it was about 4 hours ride up the mountain to Mae Hong Son. So it was the crazy singing experience all the way. I really really love sunset to bits.



It was about Thai time 5 plus 6 when this shot was taken. This place is some reserve





I really love this mystical feel. It's silly I know but somehow or rather, it occurs to me as a path that leads you to eternal happiness.

Yes, if only it is.


And yes, we continue up the mountain.



Trees, shrubs and more trees yet again.



Our first morning in Mae Hong Son. The misty feel in the morning. Mystical ain't it?


The route taken every morn to the dining area.



Yes yes yes. We have our meals here. And minthu looked really excited. Haha.


And you've just taken a peek at the girls' five star bunk, according to the guys. So if you think that this's real bad enough, i doubt you would wanna imagine how the guys' bunk would look like.
but i personally felt that our 12 girls' bunk was pretty cozy, besides that screwed up toilet. yes yes, better stop complaining cos' i'm sure the guys' toilets were a thousand times worse than ours.



kids of M2/3. Trying to pay utmost attention to what Edmund was saying then. (and so i hope)

Night market


Very pasar-malam-ish I know. Just that instead of it being Singapore's style (tents and what not), it's in Thai style (umbrellas or just open air)




This waffle is really really good. And 5 baht for one only! Approximately S$0.25.

And there's that condensed milk dough thingy. it's darn nice.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And for the few days, it was just teaching and playing volleyball/monkey with the kids after school.

Photos below are taken during the 1 Day Science Camp. And that very night, we had our farewell dinner prepared by our very hospitable host.




Teaching Com :D It's way too dark though.

I really find this photo highly amusing. copying the 'choo-choo-train' look. Taken during the dance performances by the Thai, with the 'participation' of OCIP-ers.




bamboo rice! :D gawddddd. it's really nice especially when it's hot.

We had star-gazing that very last night. The whole nightsky is akin to pretty crystals scattered everywhere. Only difference is that it ain't tangible sad to say. It ended when everyone was already half freezing with some of us in slippers. My toes were half frozen already.

And the final day, the journey back to Singapore.




I think this picture is darn cute. Like a fairytale backdrop with a witch's pot underneath a tree. I never got to know what that pot was for actually. A bin perhaps?





That last bit of Chiangmai. The streets are really very empty. (before we were all dragged to hop onto Silkair for our flight back.)



our drinks :D they are not bad i would say. it's a very random photo but who cares.

cheerios!
