MISSION : KHMER 2010

Hello! :)
Am here to write the reflection for our trip to Cambodia.
It was way too awesome & memorable for everyone i guess. ♥

-One thing that i've learnt about myself.
One thing that i've learnt about myself is to be independent. Going to Cambodia isn't the same as living in Singapore, where we have our parents to rely on. We have to take good care of ourselves, not to fall sick in order not to let our family to worry for us. At Cambodia, we have the water parade every morning & night, whereby each of us will have to finish 1 full bottle of mineral water. I think it is good as we are able to hydrate ourselves for the day & not to get sick due to the hot weather at times when we have to do cip or walk around under the hot sun. Also, as we go to Cambodia, there is no one like our family who would take care the stuffs that we bring there for us. We must learn to keep an eye on our own stuffs ourselves and prevent it from getting missing.

-One thing that i've learnt about Cambodia.
One thing that i've learnt about Cambodia is about the weather there. To our surprise, the weather there was somehow cold instead of humid. It was 19 degree at the moment when we arrived there! Cambodians over there also have a positive mindset, despite living in such poor conditions and having low economic wealth. Unlike Singaporeans, which most of us would have everything we need and even own things that we desire to have, yet still complaining about things at times. I think this should be something that we should learn from them, to be satisfied and contented with whatever we have. Not to forget, the people are friendly too! During the time when we went to the Night market, no matter the fact that we did buy their stuffs or not, they will still thank us and smile always.

-One thing that i've learnt about my friends.
One thing that i've learnt about my friends is that they are helpful. In that 5D4N at Cambodia, everyone got bonded closer & learnt to help one another. They are not selfish, that only bother about themselves and not to care about others. Also, like when we are doing CIP in the primary school over at Cambodia, friends are around to assist whenever we needed more help. Like, helping to carry the bricks/painting the walls together to finish work faster etc. This means that everyone do have the spirit of working as one.

I believe that this trip have benefited us a whole lot. Cambodia, a place that shouldn't be missed to be visited. It would definitely be a trip that we would never forget.  :)
