The Light We Give.

okay, i didn't particularly choose any photo to blog on because photobucket was down when i wanted to get the pictures. So, yeah. I'll just blog without the picture.

Okay, this ocip trip is definately a eye-opener and a very fruitful one. This is not like the usual school trip where we just go there for some sight-seeing and leisure, we went on this trip with a mission to help the people over there, which makes this trip even more meaningful than any other trip.

During the trip, i had a chance to experience their kind of lifestyle and get to do things like cementing the floor and teaching the kids in Cambodia. Its something that i definately wont get a chance to do over here at Singapore. I feel that the kids over there has also influenced me alot, although they are like much poorer than us, but we can always see a smile on their faces and they are very contented even if they receive just a small gift from us and they are very very polite. Over here in Singapore, we are like more financially-abled but yet we still always grumble about not having enough clothes and stuffs.

So after this trip, i've learnt to be more contented with what i have and i realised that we are actually way more fortunate than alot of people out there, yeah, so im glad that i actually went on this ocip trip and i hope we can go back there again next year to visit the kids over there and take a look at the hard court that we've constructed. hopefully its still intact after one year :)
