( 8:37 PM )
I can still remember my first OCIP meeting, which isn't too long ago anyway. However, I've grown to be at ease and comfortable working with this bunch. This is because the people are sociable and i have no doubts that the Vietnam children will receive lots of love from us. Managing a big team is always tough and therefore i think the leaders deserve recognition for their hard work and efforts in trying to achieve the desired outcomes during the preparation and also the trip. *round of applause*
I am definitely looking forward to the trip as firstly, it would give me an opportunity to break out of the scene (I've only been to Malaysia and Indonesia). I like to try new things and i figure that i will also be exposed to the experience of being in an unfamiliar surrounding in Vietnam as Malaysia and Indonesia are generally Malay speaking and I understand bits of Indonesia. I am looking forward to this exposure as well as exposure to the living conditions of the poor in Asia. It will be an eye opener and makes me think that living conditions Singapore isn't just too bad, it can be considered rather luxurious. I sure am thankful for that.

See you in Vietnam!
