The trip to the Farm Orphanage had left some unforgetable memories for us. Tears had even rolled down some of our faces when we left the orphanage, and tears may be still flowing out when we think back to the very day when we visited the orphans. I can still remember their living environment and conditions very clearly, their selfless and friendly personalities, their helpfulness and their maturity. They would not fight among themselves and would care for each other. This is the kind of attitude that would be rarely seen in Singapore. Even when we gave out clothings to them, they would be waiting very patiently for their turns and would even help their friends to take the clothings and share them among themselves. I dare to say that all of us are touched to see their selfless attitude and graciousness. They taught some of us to dance and even taught us to weave a basket patiently. Till now, I still misses them and hope to be able to see them again. ((:
At the school, we held an hour english class for the children. Each of the group take a class and we used our educational package which each of the group had prepared to teach them. For my class, they already know their ABC and we revised it with them. We even played memory game with them using our print-out cards and we let them kept it afterwards. We sang songs with them and gave out stationaries to each of them. They were smiling when they received our gifts to them. I felt happy to see their smiles. :D Afterwards, we started to work on the two classrooms allocated to us. We moved the tables and chairs out the class and swept the floor. Afterwhich, I learned to plaster cement , and began to cement the holes in the floor. While I was busy plastering the floor, the rest went to build toilets and began to paint the interior and exterior of the two classrooms. We had completed about 70% of the work before we fell sick and couldn't continue our work. D: Although it was tough, all of us had fun and felt that it was worth to do this CIP works when we see the bright smiles on the children's faces. :D
The first word that came into my mind was "BIG" when I saw Angkor Wat for the very first time. We had elephant rides and it was fun although some of us were scared of heights. ((: We went to the temples and had fun taking photos of each other and ourselves. Some even "kissed" the buddha. :D At Tonle Sap Lake, we rode the boat and I saw alots of houses, a church, a basketball court, all floating on the river. It was interesting as it was the first time I saw a floating village. :D In the middle of a trip, our boat was "hijacked" by a young woman selling can drinks. We were shocked to see her jump up to our moving boat and were all worried about her safety. After awhile, her boat came, and she jumped back to her boat. Finally, we reached a part of the lake where we can had a clear and wide view of the sunset. It was another memorable thing that I can still remember. The sunset that we had seen in Cambodia at Tonle Sap Lake could not be seen in Singapore.
Night Market was where each and every one of us impressed each other with our singaporeans' bargaining skills and spirits! ((: All of us had fun bargaining and purchasing our items for our ownselves, friends, and our family members. Sad to say, this was also the place where all of us became "bankrupt". D:
In conclusion, the trip to Cambodia, Siem Reap was a memorable one and it was an unforgetful experience for all of us. Although our day 3 activities had to be cancelled, we had learnt a meaningful lessons from it, " always take good care of ourselves and be healthy" ! I would like to thank our Teachers, MS NEO, MDM ZURINA, MS SEM, MS JARINA, MR GAVIN, and MR ARUN for giving us the chance to experience Cambodia.
THANKS ALOT TEACHERS!
