Post-trip reflection--linna

15 days have passed, time really flies very fast. We are back from our memorable Cambodia trip, SAD! O MY GOD! It is just like a dream. Really wish that we stay in our dream longer or maybe don’t come back to this busy world (School Life!).

Really missed the morning scenery there, **the fresh air, the friendly and polite people there, the working life (mural, painting and other work that I done like footpath and a bit of basketball court), the daily life in the FGAC and BAC and time spent with the kids there.

I feel so welcome at both places. FGAC makes us feel more warm and we are more bonded with the kids there, it could be that they are more mature and they are more developed with feelings and thoughts that’s why they have feelings when we are about to leave their words and actions make us feel more unwilling to leave them. It is as though we know each other for many years or we are very closed best friends or sisters & brothers. The feelings and thoughts of leaving them made us cried at the last night. And most of them did not cry because they are too used to it as there are many student groups helpers like us have went there. But we are the unfortunate batch because we only have 6 days to spend with them and most of the time we were busy with our work not like other serve groups who went there for 2 weeks. But we still managed to bond with them. And they always show their thankfulness and gratefulness to us which make us really feel very happy and warm. They are really very helpful even our close friends in Singapore can’t compare to them. Maybe we can’t use that to compare but it is quite true that the guys there are very fit and very helpful. They even help us do normal housework which I believe not many Singapore guys will be willing to do that or maybe some girls don’t even do simple housework. And they are of great help to s without their help I don’t think we will be so efficient to finish our jobs. Every seconds, every minutes and anywhere we were able to heard their sweet and polite voice,”Hello Sister! Hello Brother!” It makes us feel great and loved. And their letters and messages for us makes us feel touch and really sad to leave them. But life has to go on. There is always times we have to leave the one we loved or close with in order for us to grow up and learn be independent. The Food there is DAMN nice and delicious! I just loved they food and fruits there.

In BAC the kids are very young and it is their first time having visitors to stay with them. We may not feel as close with them as compare to those kids in FGAC because they don’t really know much English words and we also don’t have much time to spend with them. But there are happy memories for us to bring back. The scenery there is super nice. I just loved it .I love the kampong life there but not the insects!

I just enjoyed the whole trip. Though there are some unhappy things happened among the team but we still stay together as a team. After this trip I believe everything is back to normal but we got to know each other better and make a great group of friends. Thanks the kids there for making us feel welcome and loved. Thanks Mr. Sonny, DR Castrol their family member and the stuffs there for taking care of us so well. And thanks for our lecturers for being with us all the time to look after us. And also must thank our own group member who cook soups for us , boil water for us, give us vitamins to eat , the team of people who cook for the farewell night, the video man and the photographer ,the team of people who plan for the games, dances ,cleanliness and the logistics who make good planning for the whole trip AND of cause all the day ICs for all their handwork to make things goes smoothly everyday. THANKS EVERYONE WHO MAKE THIS TRIP A VERY SUCCESSFUL, MEMORIABLE, ENJOYABLE AND WONDERFUL ONE!!

I MISS CAMBODIA!!!!!
