Hello! Im in TEGV, blogging from their computer now. Pathetic heh? No time to write much now cos me and hob are leaving the school soon for a BBQ! at 8 AM in the morning! Yeah! *Volunteers Only affair* Hecks * Lots of food here*Yum*



Hob Hob is staying wıth me for the next two weeks. Yup. stuck with me, no internet, no housekeeper, no-frills accomodation. Just a very lovely cosy 3 storey house wıth a small garden.



OOOOHHH! We experience a major blackout last nıte! We freaked out a little when the lights flickered for a few seconds and *poof* Cool! The whole estate was pitch black! We jus dozed off without bathing!*yıkes*



She blogged a blardy long entry 2 nites before she came to my place. So İm gonna ripped this entry from her:

Hob: ''This is what we do in school! We had to learn how to dance to a hip-hop song. Oh man. haha do i look spastic? hobbit and dance don't really go together u know? I prefer cheerleading in blue =) But the kids are not afraid of us, they are not afraid to tell us what to do, what ought to be done around the school, pulling us to join in their lessons. They just love us so much and we love them just as much too!''



Jacq: ''Yup! I did dance too and it's really fun! We did modern dance, cha cha, etc. The kids are crazy over us and we are crazy over them too!''

Hob: ''The boy in the middle is my favourite. His name is Fatih. He's the smartest and the most sensible one. The one on the left is Ahmet, an avid basketball player. The one on the right is a rascal, Mustafa. He loves to scream and dance cha cha and play Chiko-Chiko-la-la-Chiko-Chiko-ta-ta with us. It's the best game invented, when kids go out of control, just play the Chiko game and they will stop their nonsense and calm down to play Chiko. Yay! =) Mustafa is a sheep -baaaaaaaa- So adorable =)''



Jacq:''Im Mustafa's Favourite! Haha!''

Hob: ''Here's an outing we had with them to the Museum. Previously it was at the zoo, this week its the Bursa Museum where they display everything from War equipments to skeleton bones of the first inhabitants of Bursa (really!) We look like teachers right? haha, i doubt the kids learnt much coz they didn't listen to the guide, but they were simply amazed at what they see in the museum. I don't know, but it definitely benefits their soul to be on an excursion. Kids just love bus rides, don't they?''

Yay! everyone! =) turkish kids are cute cute and cute!

Hob: ''But i feel that I want to visit their families and understand their background. Why these children are here receiving free education. Some of the kids came for a couple of time and told me that her mum doesn't allow her to go back to the school. why? =( Well, i hope our presence can really bring good memories to them and not make them think they are considered "underprivilaged". i'm sure they have their pride too and they want to be treated equality like all other rich kids. Rich kids have memories of new countries and new food while TEGV kids have rich memories of intense happiness and joy in their lives with us. Which one is better? I love being in their lives and i love to shower them with priceless hugs and kisses.''



Jacq: ''Yup, I totally agree. But İ dun really like the way TEGV is being runned in certain aspects....''

Hob: ''Oh ya, just to introduce to you these 2 people. Beste (the mum) and Kayra (Kai-ra). She is Jacq's host and she's very very hospitable. They have treated Jacq very very well and spices up Jacq's life at home too. Jacq has endless stories of her family life to tell me! How comical the grandmother is, doing a "strip tease" in front of her, how Beste is such a "Singaporean" in some ways, how Kayra sings "ba ba black sheep have vu vany voo" and belly dance in front of her jealous best friend who claims she can dance better, and how kaira wears a new dress in the shop and runs out, triggering the alarm and we would see Beste's exasperated face. How Beste would take the stove fire starter to light up her cigeratte and use her knive to "slash" her neck when Kaira screams for her... Turkish families are so happening because everyone contributes to spice up family life. I love Besta and Kaira. =)"



Jacq: "Yes! I love this incredibly cute Duo! My Host, her kid and her incredibly funny mum!"
