REFLECTIONS!

1. ALWAYS ALWAYS CHECK EXPIRY DATES ON FOOD. (super important)
2. Bring medicine everywhere!

This trip seriously taught me how not to take things for granted. While most ppl might think that taking things for granted will be the usual water, shelter, clothing, love, money da da daa..
What I've really learnt is to NOT take food for granted. I guess I have been living in a really safe world until the day I stayed in and realised that food safety is also very important.
STUPID RICE KRISPIES.
If we dont watch what we eat, ppl will start falling sick and the team has a lower morale.
Therefore, in conclusion, the next time we go to Cambodia, please bring food from SINGAPORE! =)
One more thing that really stuck with me throughout the trip was that how change comes about by one small action. When we said our first HELLO to the kids, (i think la) that we sort of brought hope into their lives; maybe for a better studying enviroment or simply just giving them the attention that they want(cos their teachers cant really give every single child attention). This really taught me to be more pro-active, in a sense wherby it motivates me to do things, rather than sit and wait for change to arrive.
Dont worry! I'm not going to ramble about Ahmad and no pictures too. They're all for ME! haha!

BLONDIE'S MY FAVOURITE!

taking care.
