After 10 days in Thailand and Cambodia...im finally back. I realise i miss home, my family and friends and FOOD! I've been a vegetarian and biscuit person for most part of the trip, only having seafood when we have the dinner beramai2. Its been a great experience...a trip to remember :) I got blown away by the beauty of the architecture, monuments, sculptures, statues, temples and art. I got mesmerized by the serenity of the countryside and nature. I experienced the simple and less hustle and bustle lifestyle of the Thais and Cambodians. I had lots of time by myself during the long bus rides to look out the window and think and reflect. I had crazy moments posing for a gazillion pictures and enjoying nights out with those fantastic peeps i met in the programme. I had cozy conversations with the pple i grew close to. I had eye-opening talks with the copenhagen, yale students and the tour guides. Most of all, despite the hectic timetable, i enjoyed myself despite being apprehensive before the trip began. :)

It was temple after temple after temple after temple haha but when u actualli appreciate the beauty of it...it is juz wow! the intricateness of designs, architecture, the reliefs and inscriptions...u get so amazed and proud of these ancient southeast asian civilizations. We travelled by bus all day, visiting so many places and sometimes u get an information overload that by the time u reached the hotel at like 7pm at nite...u r juz so bushed. Even then, most pple still went out drinking, partying and clubbing...i diden ok hahahah but i did spend time goin to other pple's hotel rooms and laugh and talk cock. Its really nice :D

No doubt at certain points in the trip, there seemed to be some tension intra and inter groups/cliques. Well its kinda expected i guess, coz everyone's juz so tired that its easy to irritate and get on someone else's nerves. The professors were fantastic! They were so semangat and funny...that they seem to be ur frens rather than ur lecturers. Maybe that's the beauty of outdoor learning. No authority. Juz learning from one another in a casual manner.

I could go on and on describing my experiences. But i shant :p it would be too long and will get too draggy hahaha yes maly....i have grown quite a bit. I realise the importance of friends and their company but i also realise that in the real world, u r by urself and u need to learn to be independent. U need to learn to talk to pple if you wanna survive. U have to be open to criticism and not be over sensitive in dealing with issues. You will enjoy something if u put ur heart to it and look at it in a positive light. I have learnt. And i will continue learning. But for now.....now dat im back in spore....i still do wan the company of my great frenz....to treasure these moments before i go out into the working world. :)
