My Cambodia Experience .

So fast ~ And our CIP and trip at Cambodia ended . Like a fast only :O Before going on this trip , all of us had worked hard on our respective tasks . And i mean REALLY hard . We go to meetings everyday , We buy the materials , And we collected the donations for the Cambodians .WOWW ~ At first , i didn't think that sec twos like us would be able to pull it off and have a happy ending when we go home . But ,we did it ! ^^ *proud* Yayy ! Before the trip , everyone was worrying about what is gonna happen during our 4days 3night at Cambodia and now we are back in Singapore to tell you our story ! ^^

On the first day we all gathered at the airport in Terminal one .After we gathered with our teachers awhile ,we were left to our own to spend our last time with our family before boarding the plane . To be honest with you , I'm scared of the plane's toilet cause it's black so i went to the airport's toilet alot of times . Part of the reason of going to the toilet many times was also because I'm worried about how our trip will go . Will it be a happy ending ? Will there be any mishaps ? Ohh My God . I worry this worry that . kekekeke ~ Funny right ? And so we flew flew flew away to Cambodia at 1030 (:
-after plane touchdown-

When we got off we were supposed to go and chop passport right ? Yeah . I was expecting some kind of airport that's like Malaysia's budget terminal , where you have to walk down on a staircase down the plane and then walk into the airport . But no , Phnom Penh's airport is just like Singapore's airport ! So this taught me to never judge a book by it's cover or in this case never judge a country by it's descriptions . I also noticed that in the airport there's this machine that's standing in the middle of the whole area . Do you know what that is ? It's a machine that's like Singapore's scanner that took over the chopping of Singaporean's passport except that it only requires for the Cambodians to put the whole passport into a slot . #coolshit .I didn't think that there would be something so cool like that in a country like Cambodia .

-after clear custom-

After clearing custom we went to eat lunch . Outside the restaurant , we saw a beggar sitting at the doorstep begging for either food or money i don't know . Pity . So we all must study hard so that we can take care of ourselves or even better take care of others who are in need . After we ate , we went on to buy rice for the villagers then bus-ed to Chombok Village for 3hours straight.

The village on first impression to me was : rural and maybe unsafe . And i didn't expect lights to be there for us . Little did i know that it was on just for us . I think it cost them quite alot for them to buy a generator ): Then there was an introduction on the village by Mr Chaim the head of the village (?) . Also , i thought that the dinner would be like things that i can't get used to eating .But they cooked eggs for us ! I think it might be to them a luxury to eat eggs everyday . You know , we ate eggs for almost every meal for the whole trip . That's why now i stop eating eggs for a week cause the eggs are so high on cholesterol :/  I'm not complaining or what . But i'm awfully grateful for the eggs to be there or else i wouldn't have ate so much and have enough energy for the activities . So through this ,i also learnt to be grateful that Singapore is a country that can allow us to have Da Yu Da Rou ( Big Fish Big Meat ) for every meal . So we must not waste food ^^

During our 4days 3nights there , we also build a well for the villagers so that they can have direct excess to water . Well , actually we did not do much except pass the cement , sand and bricks to the villagers there to build the well . They are all fast workers ! When we finish having lunch , the well is already to the cementing stage already ! If we were to help them , i don't think it would have been so fast . Really . ut it's a good experience as i did not do before this kind of work or seen such big earthworms . They like a big only ! The size of my index finger maybe ? It's scary :O In Singapore , we do not have such size for worms ..

All in all , i think this trip made me think that i should really really be grateful for everything i have and being born in Singapore . We should also not waste food and water even though we have money to pay for it .
