I’m lying in bed recovering from the effects of being too mentally stimulated that I couldn’t sleep well when I see Sothy there praying at about 6 am. So I prayed to God too for I felt too physically weary. Then I fell into a deep slumber. Now before I realised it, Its 930am and its time to wake up. But Sothy is nowhere to be found. So I took a nice shower then started work on editing my blog and sermons. I am asked to post my sermons up too. I am still contemplating as I had not done it in full text. Still I think I will attempt to do that if it is possible ok?

So the first half of the day I am stuck here alone. Which is quite pleasant for me actually cause I’m a loner by nature. I could do this all day….in fact all week! Still I’m seriously missing home. I don’t know why I’m such a homey person.

But soon it was time for lunch! The knocks on my door made me aware that it was time! My tummy was growling also. We were going to have lunch together again Pastor Net and Chan Roth and Sothy. Only then did I know it was Pastor Net and Pastor Chan Roth’s 4 year anniversary today! So I promised them that I will spend them a most delicious dinner tonight wherever they might want to go. Their food has a distinct herbal taste which I think may not suite all. Also it is common for them to eat parts of the animals too as in the internal organs. Oh the chicken here is so very skinny hahahaa.

Where we had our lunch

Our Yummy Lunch

Russian Market Parking

Russian Market

Soon after that we were off to the Russian market. Don’t ask me why they call it the Russian Market. There I was to shop for all the things I would need to get for the people back in Malaysia. I spent 2 hours there shopping until I was going to drop. The heat was maddening. I think I smelt worse than a horse at that time.

So So Net? Means the internet is so so only?

Small Cubicle with Sothy checking his private emails….shhh

Now we’re weaving through traffic on the Honda Cub while heading towards ‚ÄòSo So Net’. Does that name help any of you? Yes! That’s where I was posting on my first day to you. The computer and internet was ssssoooooooooooo slow. That goes to show how spoilt I am. So I got stuck behind an awfully old piece of equipment trying so hard to tell you how I am doing. It’s also not air-conditioned for your information.

I needed a fix for all these heat so I asked Sothy to kindly bring me to Coffee Plus. It’s something like Starbucks but way cheaper. I am not a fan of coffee but I went there for the Ice Blended Blueberry. Guess what! It only costs RM 3 for something I would pay RM 12.50 for back home. It tasted like heaven at that moment. But the sky was getting really dark fast and so we quickly made our way back to the church.

Coffee Plus

The disgusting stuff yucks!!!

Still more stuff that is digusting and smelly

I sometimes think I am a bad luck charm and I think I have the right to think so because inevitably I might have caused a blackout! Hahahahha. So we spent the almost two hours sitting outside chatting about ministry and having the most meaningful conversations while Sothy was off to rescue the bride to be. What a prince charming! The rain didn’t cease nor stop.

Pray for Pastor Net and Chan Roth as they survive by God’s grace. They are renting the current church and are hoping to procure their own church building with the help of some missionaries. They need prayers as there are many unseen things that only God can be in control of. I pray that the ministry of this wonderful couple will indeed be blessed by God.

The church where I stayed in

The church hall

Kitchen

Very steep stairs which is somewhat like the Angkor Wat

The roof top which is also the forth floor

Roof Top Views. Alot of the buildings and houses use the same concept

The electricity came back but I was still sitting there having such a wonderful heart to heart talk with the two Pastors that I withstood all the onslaughts by my mosquito friends who seem to have an affinity for my blood alone even here!

Riding in the rain

It was getting late for dinner time. Someone’s getting very hungry and angry…..so we braved the rain to make sure the happy couple would have their sumptuous meal. So in tiny raincoats we go! But the restaurant was full! So by the time we got to a restaurant, we were so hungry that I was somehow mistaken to speak frog. Hahahahah ( I think I’m laughing on this one by myself because it’s a joke only 4 of us will get).

So we finally make it home to the den….so exhausted but fully satisfied at the day spent well. I was going to sleep early for the first time but that will never happen I think at the rate Sothy is disturbing me….
