Wei-Xiang

Last Day of Kupang Life

Today marked the end of the West Timor Trip. Everyone was rather gloomy. I took a last photo with Maxi. The SF team then bided the workers goodbye…We hugged each other. The tears in my eyes were struggling to burst out and it exploded, so were the workers.

After loading our luggage, we were ready to part. We waved to the workers and soon they disappeared from our vision. Within ten minutes, we reached the Airport of Kupang City. Auntie Peggy, Pak Leif and John accompanied us into the Airport. At that moment, everyone was unwilling to part. Auntie Peggy also cried. Though we been there for 16 days, the bond was very strong.

Bye-Bye Auntie Peggy, Pak Leif, John, Maxi, Teddy and the workers at the hostel that cooked and looked after the 15 of us.

Bye-Bye Michael, Prity, Elias, Chris, Lala, Cynthia, Marcos, Aldo and the other kids as well as the young adults in the orphanage.

Bye-Bye to SMA 1, the school that I’m assigned to, Miss Sandy, the leader of the English Department and the 9 classes including 10A, 10B and 10C that I interacted with.

We had lunch at the Jakarta Airport. There was this dish which tasted horrible. Esther challenged me that we shall have a game and the loser shall eat a mouthful of the dish. We played the scissors, paper, stone game. Haha…I won. She was forced to eat it. Haha…it tasted disgustingly that she spited it onto her plate. Haha…

We landed at Changi Airport at around 8.20pm. Finally home!!! We were welcomed by Pak Budi, members of e-club 3310 as well as the family members of some of the SF mates. I really enjoyed spending the fruitful trip with the 14 of you. I swear!!!
