Day 5's Highlight

( Top to Bottom: Pictures from our Community Visit)

Visit to Makcik's House, trip to the market and watching her cook our lunch.

The trip to the market 4 person on a bike not that bad. Well, in Cambodia at least.
Went to her stall, the other market across town and yeah, eye-opening and indeed we shouldn't really take things for granted.

A chicken there costs S$10.

Went to the Muslim village where makcik stayed all her life. The mosque or maschet as they spelled it,cemetery, her two story home and family really makes me think and hopefully when I get back, there would be more courage to change myself.

Humans are afraid of changes; or maybe it's still about adapting?!

Day 5

(That's Li, the little girl who never fail to put a smile on my face. I miss her. She is one of them who prove to me that simplicity is joy and no matter how hard life is, there could always be joy and laughter.)

It's Friday, a week has passed and the weekends is just a day more.

Coming to terms to the way we live without our Singapore's lavish lifestyle, taste of poverty of some sort makes me wonder why its hard to live this way back in Singapore? As i find it rather a good thing. Simplicity.

I believe some of us back home, works job we hate to buy things we don't need. The people of Cambodia, seems to be of the other way around. No fancy clothes, game consoles, but just the basic necessities of life. Food is food. No rants. And looking at the kids here, i dare say our parents has pampered us too much, till we're spoilt. Difficulty in adapting to others' way of life as we're so used to having things our way.

For myself, I've got to accept that simplicity is joy.And we shouldn't take things for granted.

Time to get back to reality and life ain't a bed of roses.
