i realised i wasnt writing what i was supposed to. haha.
the trip was simply awesome. kravan & angkor wat & dr beat.
going straight to the point.

what have i learnt from this trip :
i shall not take things for granted.
like singapore's clean clean tap water, food from super markets & school supplies.
in cambodia, bottled mineral water was already a luxury for the kids to drink from.
to think of it, counting the number of bottles i have wasted back in the hotel room could actually mean more drinking water for the kids.
the kids really taught me that i should appreciate everything i have.
whining about how i do not have enough table space during tutorials when they have to squeeze 80 kids (even tho they are small) in one classroom. even more in their chair+table.

the teaching experience from kravan has also taught me a lot.
previously i didnt have much patience for kids when they start screaming and go out of hand.
but now, i can pretty much stay in a state of calm even when the students start gathering around me asking for more colour pencils.
in a way, teaching them showed me the amount dedication teachers have for their students and that every effort i put in to teach the kids something new is worth all the effort.

the trip to angkor wat is self explanatory. (:

what and how i have contributed:
i have contributed hard work and buckets of perspiration for this trip.
i have spent hours in the lt 1 control room counting and clearing and cleaning the items we have collected during the collection drive.
i did stocktaking and noted down the items we were short of. besides that i went shopping for some of the items that we forgot to buy.
during the trip, like everyone else i helped improve the school environment.
i was a cheerleader at times, an entertainer at times.
hopefully i was seen as somebody nice during the trip because i felt horrible at times.

i have this fuzzy wuzzy feeling...
for the entire journey
happy : new friends
contented
angry : when things went wrong
frustrated : when i was misunderstood
disappointed : peoples perception of me
high : i was in cambodia
INTOXICATED !

i have developed:
better bargaining skills (:
social skills. truthfully, i never liked to mingle around. i like working alone. i will never approach anyone and start small talk. so i have learn to talk more, interact with others, etc.


for the OPIC team . . .
WE DID IT ! HI 5 !
