I had my Human Resource Management tutorial this Wednesday. The first thing my tutor asked the class was how we spent our holiday. As my peers shared their internship experiences as well as overseas trip for leisure, I felt that I had the most interesting and fruitful holiday among all my classmates. My tutor asked,” You must be feeling fortunate to be in Singapore right?” I hesitated, whether to say yes or no. Yes because Singapore is a safe place with good governments, facilities and environment. No because I hardly experience warmth, sincerity and simplicity in Singapore. Instead, I was blessed with all these over at Cambodia. Having stayed at Cambodia for two weeks, it was hard for me not to make comparisons.
Through this trip, I got to know many friends (both the team and the people from Cambodia). I can still remember vividly how worried I was before we headed to Cambodia. I knew that I would miss home. Also, I was worried about having communication problems with anyone, regardless of the people from our team or the people at Cambodia. It would be disastrous if problems crop up because we have to spend two weeks together. Thankfully, none of my worries came true.
When I was at Cambodia, I felt as if I was sitting on a roller coaster. I went through a list of fifty-six positive human emotions few days back. I checked and I realised I had experienced all the emotions during that two weeks. A life rich with emotions is a rich life. I brought back two important things from Cambodia. They are the beautiful memories and true friendships. I thank God for giving me this wonderful opportunity.
