Day 1, Thursday
During departure!! Was really excited!! :) Team A!! Because 3 more guys were going to join us on Saturday.
When we arrived in Bandung, we settled in the hotel before going out to distribute food to the people who lived in the streets. The church does it monthly. What a great blessing they have been to the poor. When I saw them and interacted with them first, I was so shocked. Like really, there are people living in the streets! No home. No place to bathe also!! I tried so hard to hold back my tears(like in those reality TV shows sometimes). And it made me realised how so very blessed I am. Would these children have a future? I don't know...
Families and families living along the whole stretch! It's amazing how they can survive...
You know in Indonesia there would always be random people selling things to driver especially around the traffic lights? This was one very interesting- Guy wearing an Angry Bird costume! Hehe.
Day 2, Friday
Visited a Christian-funded school for the poorer children around the area. The church does such visits a couple of times a month I think. We conducted games, did a skit and sang some songs for the children!!! I hope they enjoyed it! :) Education is so beautiful.
In the evening we had this combined iClick session in church. Just like a typical life group meeting.. And my pastor shared :) Okay, I'm moving on and skipping the details!
Day 3, Saturday
It was rest day!! Team B came along! But in the morning we did Chinese massage. Oops, supposed to be a secret. Hahaha. Then we went shopping blah blah blah.
Had lunch... What a creative menu! The owner was inspired by Cooking Mama...
And had music practice in the church. It was awesome! So amazed by the sound and the equipment they have. They are also so creative in the decoration! Their children's chruch. And mind you, it's only for the season!!! They would change the decorations like a few times a year? WOW!
For dinner, I had Tahu Bodo! MY FAVOURITE FOOD OF THE TRIP! It's fried tofu, mashed up with chilli padi and garlic. YUMMY!
Later at night, we had some catch up session with friends from Lippo Cikarang. I went there 2 years ago for a camp!! It was nice :) Although I didn't know them super well initially, but we still managed to talk talk :) When it was time to leave, I managed to drive their car out of the car park. Oops oops! Almost made a scratch :P

Time to say goodbye!! I wanna go back again and I hope they will come over to Singapore so that I can bring them around and "return favour" because they have been very very good hosts!!
