Some of you have been wondering why I have gone MIA for more than a month! Isn’t it obvious? I had to lay low cause I had to go on a mission.

This mission called for us to be:

1.    Fit and strong
2.    It also called for us to be really really sound mentally
3.    Well equipped
4.    Strong willed
5.    Steadfast
6.    Committed
7.    Skilled
8.    Man this list is getting scary…..I better stop

Anyway here is the report of Mission Impossible Day 1: Are we ready for this?

It all started the day before as tension arised from a leaking of noses and itching of throats. Perhaps we have anticipated wrongly. Perhaps we’re not prepared enough. We in fact felt like calling it quits. With 3 out of 4 members down with the unknown‚Ķ‚Ķ.will we be halted from crossing the borders as suspects of the deadly HINI virus?

My spirit was devastated when one member called with the news that pulling out was being considered as an option. My heart skipped two beats. After such a long wait will we complete what we have set forth to do?

Only the night can tell. For we awoke the next day and decided to take the risk. Saying goodbye to my temporary quarters. It is time to set forth. See how drained we were?

Look how enthusiastic we look hahaha. We all looked like that

Goodbye my comfortable bed and room!!
At last, we’re all assembled. It is time to let it fly!

All ready at the airport and passports chopped!

All seated! Parachutes checked!!

Upon touch down‚Ķ.we needed to make contact with headquaters. Our Liaison: Sui Tsin. Home bred and well versed with the ways of that place, we needed her help to make sure we don’t go wrong anywhere. Meeting an old friend was such a pleasure. She brought us to our main HQ which was an awesome place to hideout. You won’t believe how much it cost us. It’s madness (So Cheap!).

Immediately we decided after we had a scrumptious energy reviving meal of fish, cuttlefish, prawns and all the great things of the sea that we will conserve energy. ZZZZzzzzzzzzzz. Before we knew it, it was time to go for our closing quest of the day. Armed with tissues and a waterproof camera here we go!

Driving the coastal road

It was dark! Scary for many! But one of the members remarked, I like DARK. Its nice! Wahhahahaha I have the bravest crew in town. We have nothing to fear. Not even these!

See the elephant nose looking thing….eeeeee

Looking at them, fear grips my heart. They look disgusting like that hahaha. Especially the elephant nose thing. I have never eaten that…….Also will I be allergic to any of them? Sighs who cares! I came here to die anyway hahaha.

Seated, we said our grace and it was time to consume the food we’ve waited sooooooo long for. Our stomachs we’re really really growling. First bite‚Ķ.AWESOME! I wanted so much more. It was sooooo fresh and nice. God, it really tastes soooooo good.¬† I’m drooling now even thinking about it. Look at how tasty it is‚Ķ..mmmmm
