part 2 of 2
Day 4: fri - yea. last day at the orphanage. bittersweet really. played with the kids again, watched some ppl get funky (lol) and den had the finale. after tt we went photo crazy with the kids. if its like tt for us, i wonder how its like for them? hmm. gonna miss them loads. den had dinner at some restaurant before proceeding back to the hotel
Day 5: sat - r&r day! first went to the genocide museum. quite disgusting and gruesome really, what the khmer rouge did to all the prisoners. just as bad - or worst - than the nazis? tts for historians to figure out. but their reign was 3 years compared to the nazis' six or seven. ponder. den went to a russian market to shop! yea nabbed 6 shirts and a pair of sunglasses. plus we all became well versed in the art of bargaining heh. den had buffet lunch before heading to the royal palace. den had a cruise along the mekong river. the sunset rocks man. with the myriad of colours (once again, pics on fb). den had a party back at the hotel, before watching Man Utd thrash portsnose 4-1! woots
Day 6 - sun: left early to catch the 10.15 flight (11.15 singapore time) back to the lion city. the lunch rocks man. the beef is as good as any ive tasted. reached singapore at ard 1.10. thx Leen for coming all the way to changi =))) den went back with me parents and her before unpacking all tt stuff. ah. den went to farmart for dinner. and im sick of western food now.
mon - yea. first full day back in this little red dot of ours. slacked in the afternoon before meeting s13 at lot 1 for dinner and 927-ed to night safari. quite cool seeing some of the animals. the small bats and otters damn cute xoxo heehee. den 927-ed back
hm. the Cambodia trip seemed a little short, especially after only three days at the orphanage. still, it was joy, seeing the smiles and delight on the children's faces. if anything can do that to them it's priceless. as well as knowing that you have the capacity to help those who are not as fortunate as you, and knowing that you have done it and have been able to contribute in any way you can, regardless of how small or insignificant it may seem.
