Cambodia CIP Trip



This is the first time traveling with primary school children. After the trip , I felt that I've changed. Before, I don't really like children as they were noisy, I don't really think that i have the patience needed for this trip. On the very first day in Cambodia while on the coach, everyone was quite tired. The atmosphere was quiet. Everyone is sleeping as the boring guide with no sense of humour keep talking. Suddenly one of the student spotted a cow outside the window and started to shout "Wah got cow ehhh " Everyone jump out of their seats and started clapping and cheering. The children said that the cow was big, in fact the cow was skinny. What a laugh !!! . I felt that children are naive and little things in life can make them feel happy. How i wish i can be like that. In working society, we are always aiming for greater heights. I can say that i am not a easily satisfied person , always thinking that the sales is not enough, money not enough, but in fact i have achieve a lot in life and every month i have enough to save and spend. Why can't i be like any of the children and stop worrying so much as long as i tried my best. I have learn this attitude after this trip and now i can say that i am more patience than before. I always try to be patient, the teachers who went together with me had inspire me. They are very patient even if the students misbehave. I really admire them.

Only on the second day, I felt that the students and i had some bonding. They talk to me, ask me some question that i can't really answer , like "Why you wear earing ?". Until I have to say that i am a gay then they are satisfied with my answer. Hahahahah, of course I am not. But as long as they are happy , i am willing to become their clown. One of the students even told me to stop smoking in order to maintain my white teeth. If not , my teeth will turn black in 5 yrs time. They are so cute and sweet, they can even hug me while walking. Below are some of the memories.

Trip To General Santos

I've been traveling quite sometime about 4 years as a recruiter, sourcing manpower for our local SMEs. But this is my first time trip to General Santos City, Philippines. I receive a very warm welcome by the school Goldenstate College and they made a welcome banner to surprise me. This make me feel warm just like Home.



I always enjoy active kinds of sports , Muhammad Ali is always my long time hero. But in Santos , I discover a new idol name Manny Pacquiao, he's the people's Champ in Philippine , they named him as 'Pacman' and eventually became my idol too . Even with his light weight , he is always furious with his punches and famous for his lighting speed. Heard from the native, when he has a fight, the roads will be quite . Everyone will stick their face to the television till the knockout time or when his opponent hits the canvas .



This is the school that i did my interview, together with my agent and the school's owner's daughter whom we had being working for years.




Cheers from students doing OJT in Kitchen . Wish them All The Best in future
