⇨ Cambodia trip 25/11/10- 02/12/2010

Day1
I meet in sch at 2.30.
We took the bus to the airport.
At the airport, we had breakfast, check in luggage and then we left Singapore at 6plus.
Reach Siem Reap at 8.
Visited different places such as the Landmines museum, handicapped association after we check in Angkor Phc hotel.
And we went to Savong orphanage to check out.
The kids there were super adorable.
Went dinner at tropical restaurant and we had 12 course for the meal.
Back hotel to was up and then reflection.
We reflect on if u had to choose a pair of limbs or sense organs to lose, what would it be?
And i chose to lose my ears because without ears we will still be able to read other people lips to tell what they want to say. But if we choose to lose our legs and hands we will lose the ability
to walk, jump and do handicraft.
And i learnt two quote"you will never know what you have until you lose it."
"i serve you in order that i may learn from you, you accept my service so that you may teach me."
Lights out.

Day2 to 6

Went to the orphanage and had activities. We had ask them to draw their dreams on a paper and wat the draw its just flowers and nothing else cause they can't understand us. After that we taught them the BINGO song and started playing bingo and during the game i got to know more people. Example will be like Heak, Kahdang, Set, Tar, Manth, Sarom, Koma, Kadeb, Liwong, Nico, Sari, Kimsum and alot more. Even though they were orphans, they were all strong and didn't give up on themselves and they even had a dream like us. Despite all the unfortunate, they work harder then us to live happily.They always appreciate what we did for them and they accepted us into their live and treat us as a friend and even a family. Even though they were not good in their English, they still tried to write a thank you letter to us and by reading the letter i will feel very happy cause i know what i mean to all of them. During ponding, the orphans will always skip their lessons to come out to help us and some of them was told not to help us but when they were at the side of the pond, we can feel that they were giving their moral support to us and they motivated us to work even harder and remind ourselves to complete the pond within 5 days and we did it! When i leave the orphanage on the last day, i hate myself when my tears went rolling down my cheek and i just could not stop it when they asked me not to cry cause when they talk me i just held it cause i just can't believe i had to leave them just like that. When they ask when i'm coming back, i just never answer them cause i can't give them empty promises telling them i will come back next year. The last last thing i did was to hug all of them and say goodbye.

Letter to the kids which was not given

You kids brought us joy and this joy is always precious to me and i will really cherish it in my life.You kids teaches me alot like how i can open my heart to accept others and be kind to them and help them. When i teach u kids, i learnt something back that i can never learn it in my life in Singapore.You kids touches my heart. you accepted us, listen to us, and asked for help from us. Even though, the time we spent together were short but the friendship in us will never end when we leave because we had common memories and we spent all our hardwork building the fish pond together. I really hope u kids study hard to fulfill the dreams that you had now no matter is it to become a police or teacher. And i believe we will meet in the society in the future.I miss you, i love you and i will remember u forever but u do not have to remember me cause lives goes on.
