I can finally log in!! Sorry for the late post coz the last couple of days i just could not log in. Moving on to the reflection, I've realized that i am indeed lucky to be a part of this OCIP, not only am i getting an opportunity that many have yearned for and i've also made many new friends along the way, and i could not think of a better way to spend the holiday season then by giving my time to make a difference in someone's life. Not only that, i believe that such experiences are things that can never be bought and so we have to cherish whatever we learn be it good or bad during our stay in Vietnam, because it is only the experiences that will help us grow. Moving to less serious matter, my initial concern was the language barrier, however after a certain CIP at Batam i've realized that it is not as difficult as we think it is to get our thoughts across because people can some how understand our thoughts through our expressions and actions. My second concern is food, i know i will not be able to eat any of the food provided so i guess i will probably be surviving on muesli bars which i'd bring along. If not i'd have to learn to be like wen ling and try 2 survive on bugs. However, all these issues are so insignificant, when you compare it to the amount of fun we'll be having, and the things we're gonna see and do in Vietnam. On the whole, i feel that all the effort and time that has been put in has really paid off, and all the activites that we've been involved in up till now has truely allowed us to grow together as a family.
