cambodia day 8 tue (19th june)
Date: Friday, July 27, 2007
we woke up late for breakfast today. i was getting lazy and wana go back singapore. the mood of i can slp till 3 pm feeling. and late for breakfast mean: takeaway. so davina, hazel and i packeted fried noodles. we ate in on the bus.and amazingly, the noodles actually tasted quite good.
our only program today is one village.
again, eliza and eileen was in charge of teaching the children toothbrushing.
davina was in charge of leading in songs,
hazel and shanley teaching them the steps of hand washing,
janet, playing games with them.,
and geraldine, sharing of (gospel). did i spell it right?
and me? more of helping out here and there.
oh ya, i cut the kids nails.
and dig out the dirt. their nails are black.
trust me, they are BLACK.
what i like most about this trip to this village is that i learnt a new play! using sap from a particular plant to blow bubble. the most ancient way of how bubble could be produced. there is actually a video. let me figure out how the hell i put it up first. i will show it. it is pretty fun. really. we had fun (:
and in the midst of somewhere, a girl, i guess she's bt 14, she held my hand, and brought me somewhere. i was curious where she wanted to bring me too. also half worried that i might get missing in an unknown place. but the curiousity feel was stronger. and so i went with her.
she brought me to her house. to find her elder sister. i didnt know what to say with her. and so, i took out my nailclipper and offered to cut for her. and she wanted the nailclipper. i gave it to her with only one condition/ : she has to cut other kids nails in her village. she agreed. i dunno to what extent did she understand what i say, but i did what i think was right. (:
when i left, the girl gave ,me a kiss on my cheek. this made me shy,. yet warm my heart, . i dunno why. just. ya. that put a . to this village (:
we went back and had lunch. something special here. some had cricket for lunch! i could go so far, only to hold it and snap some shots. but how daring some of them to be, especially angela, she put the whole thing into her mouth, and snap some turn off shots. i dun dare. you?
den,we just packed and left for siam reap. it was the worst bus ride during this trip. i couldnt slp, couldnt stay awake, couldnt stay comfortable in one position and i just got giddy throughout., boooo that ride!
when i see the room, i feel that it is all worth it for the 2 hrs horrible ride. it was cricket free, ordourless, comfy, and i love the toilet seat and bath tub. and i said: lets get bubble bath (: and at night, i really did, and really soaked. whahahaha.,... comfy comfy comfy (:;;
p/s: i bought 11 packets of dried fruits to let my mum give to neighbours and relatives. i bought them cos i like to eat (:
