We slept at 3 am this morning. So late, right? And we had to wake up really early for the seminar. But, unfortunately, something bad happened. We thought Putri and Dian got food poisoned. I still remember perfectly what happened that day. I woke up at 6 am (it's very natural of me since I have to pray early morning). I saw Alyssa still sleeping and Kyla already went to her own room. I heard sound like someone is puking. At first, I thought that was only my imagination but time after time the sounds clearer and suddenly someone knocked our room door. It was Satya. She told me that Putri keep throwing up. I went to their room and Putri was so damn pale and lost all of her energy. I went to Muti's room and saw something also happened there. Dian was also look so terrible. She was also look as white as paper. Satya told me that she already call Mr. Potjanat and Ms. Thanya, but no one picked up the call. It was really early and it was Saturday, despite we will have the seminar at 8 am, it's very normal for them to still sleeping at that time. After a long discussion among us, we decided to take them to the hospital.
Another drama started right after that decision. I called a tuktuk and the driver didn't understand English at all. Fortunately, one SRP student was passing by and helped us to talk to the driver. We (me and Satya) went to Suratthani Hospital and after 15 minutes trip, we arrived there. At the ER, I felt so piss off đĄ Putri and Dian rushed to the ER and the nurses there just stare at us (maybe because we are foreigners and also wear jilbab). I talked to them (almost yelled to them because I was panic) that I need someone who speak English so I could tell them the whole story. And you know what? One of the nurses was laughing. After several minutes, one nurse came and helped us. The next minutes the doctor came and recorded all of their health history (what did they eat, drink, do, etc). The next hour since we left the mansion, Mr. Potjanat and Ms. Thanya came. While waiting, Putri and Dian kept told us that they felt hurt in the stomach. I thought, the doctor and the nurse were afraid to do something because we are foreigner. They even copied our passport and made me (since I am the older one than Satya) to signed a letter of statement that I allowed them to perform something to the patients. After spent almost 4 hours at the hospital, they released by the doctor. I didn't take any picture beside this one, because the nurse told me not to take any picture. So yea.

Because of this incident, Mr. Potjanat cancelled the seminar and assigned us to just send the powerpoint as our report. So me, Kyla, and Alyssa still have time to come to Suratpittaya School's Open House. When we came, around 4 pm, the OH already closed đđĸ So we didn't have any opportunity to visit the booth. But so nice of Ajarn Joyce gave us a lot of Philippines famous dessert. It's called Mahalangka. I thought it was made from flour, sugar, egg, and jackfruit (in Indonesia we call it Nangka, in the Philippines they call it Langka).

At the evening, my mentor, Ajarn Salubsri picked us up and treated us in a very beautiful riverside restaurant in Kho Lampu. The restaurant name is Pluppla Seafood. Since it was Thursday, there was not many people come and eat.

Ajarn Salubsri brought several teachers as well and ordered a lot of foods and dessert. We were so full and blessed! The restaurant has karaoke bar as well, so yes, we sang. A LOT. Thank you so much Ajarn!!
