So I went back to Chiang Mai, Thailand from 4Jan to 21Jan for 17 days. I love the life there, it’s carefree and easy unlike the business of the city.
The day I went back, the water stopped running, which was pretty funny because I had to bathe and all. Luckily, my family had stored water in this big container. I also remembered the times where we had to eat in the dark because the solar panels for our lights were spoilt. Or the fact that I had to watch my drama on my laptop 10mins at a time because there wasn’t enough electricity to charge it.
Yes, there is no electricity at my place. No water heater, no rice cooker, no nothing.
I didn’t take much pictures (who take pictures of their homes?) so I have little to offer, but this is what I have. 
Highlights of the trip was going to the nearby Kindergarden (the next village) to celebrate Children’s Day. Unfortunately, it rained the night before and the ground was all slippery and wet. After walking on the path, your slippers would have like 1inch of soil underneath. Really heavy, haha.
There was volunteers from a university that helped organized the event.
Someone asked me to sing a song, and I sang “The ABC Song”. I said, “That’s how kids learn their ABCs in my country.”
There was games later on, and parents could join in the fun.
There was only one teacher in the school, and that’s Teacher Noi.
The other highlight was going to my cousin’s wedding. Her village was an hour away, and I had to go there as soon as I woke up. The journey was very, very cold.
Here is the bride! It’s been years since I last saw her.
And her younger sister.
Me and Surinchai, he’s a deaf-mute but he’s very hardworking. Everyone says he has a good heart.
Well, that’s about it! I got darker/tanner when I went back to Singapore. 
My mum’s from the Karen hilltribe in Thailand, if you’re wondering. I can speak their language, Pgaz K’Nyau, pretty well, but I can’t speak Thai. Yikes!
