2009 SKSS Cambodia CIP Experience

Firstly very sorry that I have handed this up late..

DAY 1-4

Day 1

When I first reached Cambodia, I find the place very cooling. I was excited when i found out that the weather will be like that for the next few days too. Nothing much for the first day but something made an impact on my life, which is the farm orphanage. When I first saw them, I really felt that I am really lucky to have all the things around me. I was also shocked that they all stood outside to welcome all of us. The children there were all very friendly and all of us made friends with them. One person that I cannot forget is M, sorry if I had used a M for your name. He is the first person that came and make friends with me during the trip. After quite a long time of spending time together, it was our turn to do something for them, we gave out a few shirts and pants to all of them and I could see the happiness in thier faces. After that, it was time for us to leave, some of us cried but all of us were unwilling to leave the place. At last we left, some of the children there chase after our bus, especially M. Till this day on, i still cannot forget him and if there is a chance, I would like to see him again!

Day 2

After waking up from the comfortable bed we slept on, it was time for our breakfast. I hate the person who cooked my scramble egg. instead of not putting any capsicum, he added more to it, I had no choice but to eat it. After breakfast, we went to Krobei Real Primary School, it was a school which could be said as have completed school. When we reached there, the first thing we did was teaching them the basics of english, but it was then I knew that they have already known about it, so the teaching we did was actually useless. Next we gave out some clothings and other things to them, but I was shocked when Miss Sem just took out a ruler and around 50 students crowded around her and trying to snatch it. Next it was the cleaning out tables and chairs. We took quit awhile to clean all the tables and chairs and clearing the useless stuffs as it was too dirty. After that, it was the painting of walls. Its was the most tiring but most exciting thing that we did to help the school. After the second day of work, the paintings of the school were 70% done.

Day3

This day was the worst day ever during the trip. Almost all of us went ill. Down with fever and vomit, we are not able to finsih the job in school, I regretted it. But still we have no choice but to rest for almost the whole day, and something interesting happened at night. THE NIGHT MARKET was where we went at night. And with the help of our bargain King SHAIK and bargain Queen EUNICE, we bought lots of things.

Day4

This is the day I will never forget. Even though I dont feel very good that day, I was very delighted to get a chance to see Ang Kor Wat temple, once of the 7 wonders in the world. OMG it was truly Fascinating. First we went to the Bayon temple which have lots of faces carved on it. I was wondering how did the ''PROS'' did it, too unbelievable. Touring around just a temple was already quite tiring, next we went to the jungle temple. Huge trees covering some of parts of the temple. It was truly exciting. The biggest temple I had ever seen in the 15 years of my life was the Ang Kor Wat temple!! The ''Five Cap'' at the top of the temple made it very special and the inner carvings on the wall made it more interesting. There was even a big ''Bathtub'' inside the temple. After the tour we went to the Tonle Sap Lake. The biggest lake I have seen. Looking at people living on the floating houses and bathing in the dirty water, I really pity them. One thing that made me find it very interesting, is the floating basketball court. Later on we sat on the boat and we went to see the sunset. After the tiring day, we went for dinner. I didi not have any appetite, so I ate very little. During dinner, there were also people dancing their traditional dances on stage, after that back to the hotel.... ZZzz..

I will not talk about day 5 as there is nothing much and bad day for me too..

Thats all I have, thanks and byes :D
