Setafire 09 is done

Hmm... a year went by so fast. Another Setafire camp also went in the blink of an eye. All the excitement and longing disappeared, but now, again, it begins for the next one in 2010. Whatever it is, this year's Setafire was another success story to be kept and retold. Like always, there were ups and downs. However, we all managed to handle them well enough to pull through that 2 weeks together.

Worked with the human beings who were excited to come back to Thailand or Omkoi to be specific. Everyone was energetic and ready. Nadia was another great person. She was tough and strong. She made my trip there worth the 9-hour bus ride :P And of course the others, Natasha, Scott, Sears, Kavin and yes, the new additions to the team, Ping and P Aek. The souls which were moved by the people in Omkoi. And not forgetting the youths who came back to help us. P Fah and Sayan. There were many who couldn't be there physically. But they were supporting us from wherever they were. And the team approeciates it.

I didn't get to spend time with the team out of Omkoi that much. Didn't really have one of those long talks with my dearest Pine. But we did hang out... Kao Soi and Banana Strips were remembered from the last Setafire. And as always, there's something new to treasure and ponder upon over and over again...
~"Nadia, Nadia with your long golden hair"~
~Scott's rapping video~
~Painting the place~
~My banana cravings~
~The old saggy dog~
I'm sure that there's more. Just can't really remember them all right now. But we will as we meet all over again.

Next year, we've got plans. YAY! But it's a year from now. Sigh. I'm just glad that all of us made use of summer breaks in the right way. And yes, we have to thank the Omkoi youths for being part of our camp. Without them, Setafire wouldn't be complete.

From me personally, I had a great time. I learnt a lot. And I can't wait for the one next year :D
Thanking everyone who helped in Setafire 09 for sacrificing their time, adjusting to the difficult circumstances and giving in all their efforts.


Omkoi brings the best in people~~
