Cambodia 1 – 10 April 09
Well. And Off we go!
All arrived at Cambodia and met up with Mr Look. If I’m not wrong owner of Hope village. From there we bused down to the killing museum. 1st stop there.
A freaking eeree place.. Photo above a cell where they kept the prisoners.
Next we left for what else? Lunch! haha! But on the way there something caught my eye.
Yea. Kids. Searching through rubbish for food. Well.. I kinda expected seeing this here. But well. . Still wasnt prepared for it just yet.. Just after hours from landing there.
Well. Lunch. Wasnt so bad. But well.. It also seemed rather normal. haha. Okay after lunch we prepared for the UBER long bus ride to Prey Veng. Was about 2.5hrs away. So well.. kinda zZzZz throughout the whole ride there.
Had to take a boat across the river. 1st time experiencing this.. Was quite a strange experience.
One of the merchants near the boat.
Well. After the trip we finally reached our destination, were we all would call home for the next 7days. Hope village.
1st meetings and 1st impressions. Kids there were happy to see us. Surprisingly. haha! But during the course of the whole week some of us really got very attached to these kids there.. All 100+ of them. Even though sometimes we did not understand what each other was saying. It was still a very meaningful trip.
Really miss the kids there.. They just wont leave you alone.. 1st one would come, then another, and another until your totally surrounded by kids. Heres an example
Yea.. Even when sleeping you are never alone. Kid there is Sokka. A damn good kid, his bother on the other hand is quite naughty. haha!
Back to topic.. From the next day onwards we all started work.
Yea. It’s an Axe. My fav tool of the trip. Why? When I use it people say i have a murderers look in my eye. haha!
6 days of solid working. And what happened next? On day 3 & 4 some of us fell sick and all of us went down with food poisoning. yea.. Was hell for the medics there.
Kids there had a little food fair for us.. Food was gooooooddddddd. haha! The food was a lot better compaired what we were eating there.
Photo/Videography team!
This kid.. I called him bryan. Every morning without fail will shout “Brother Noel!” and asked if i was alright or have fully recovered from the food poisoning. Love this kid. haha!
Sunday was sports day.. Sadly i could not join in due to food poisoning. So well, yea.. sucks to be me. But basically they played Ping Pong (they are freaking good) and soccer (they are even better). yea.. Team singapore got owned pretty bad. haha.
Bunk mates~from Left to right. Pengm Hafiz, Alwi, Matt, Syarif and Me!(guobin missing in photo)
Staple drink of the trip. Sugarcane juice. 500ril each which is about.. 15cents each? Each time we go back there we spend about USD$4 and we go there about 3 times a day. haha!
Last day. Roof goes up.
Group photo!
And finally followed by cultural night!
And finally.. It’s the last day.. All of us knew it was coming but we just did not want it to happen so soon..
Packed up the bunk.
Said Bye to the kids and yes.. Some of us cried when we left Hope village.
Thanked our guide! ChunLi!Brought us to the seafood restaurant . He thought us how to order Iced milk coffee!. haha. “Ca-fe Tek-nok-co”, not” tech-no-co” which means cow urine. haha!
And we are off! Back to PHNOM PENH for shopping. Not gonna update much about Phnom Penh cause i did not really carry my camera around so that i wont get swarmed my beggers there. Was quite scary for the 1st few hours.
Yea.. He’s a begger.. And they come in swarms.
Oh! and i nearly forgot! the song we wrote there for the trip.

BYEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Quick update today before my Cambodia OCP and well.. Not much really happened.. Just went to shoot MTC(mentor training camp) and the CO concert.. which kinda sucked.. Almost no space to move around. heh. O well.. Quick was quick. and now the post is over! heh.
Well. After reading alfred’s long blog post on religion and all i also have something to say. And just to make known I’m catholic and proud to be one.
Well.. religion has always been one of the more common reasons between fights among my friends and well.. Sometimes it gets annoying and most of the fights revolve among this question. Does God Really Exist? Well no one will know unless they have already died. So yes, as i have mentioned earlier with me being catholic I am “forced” to believe that he/she/it is there. But well.. In my opinion religion is there to show people how to lead their life. The good way. To make people think twice about their actions. In a way it this there to have battles within yourself. Not with each other.
Also for those people who believe that their religion is correct while the rest is wrong? You guys are just messed up. Most religions teach the same thing. Peace, love and all that stuff. Whats the point of fighting over that? Seriously?
Can’t you all just respect the other party?
That line also goes for those who keeps on bugging others to go for their “worship sessions”. If people don’t wanna go then stop asking them to attend. Whats more important? Friendship or getting people to think the same way as you? Well that is up to you to decide.
That line is also for people who are also anti-religion and likes to go around telling people how dumb they are for believing in a “god” which is not real. Yes, you might be trying to make a point but does that still make you into someone i just mentioned above?
Well after all that I just want to say something.
All it needs is just a little Respect.
ps. if this post makes no sense. Heh. i got an excuse.. I’m sleepy. haha
