My love for Batam.

Gosh I am back from Batam trip.
I love it so much):
I kept silent when I came back home to Singapore.
Lots of emotions and value I learn back there in Batam.
Okay,I dun want to end up writing up a composition about Batam.
Thus,I shall just summarize the whole thing.
Batam,an island I shall never forget.
Everything is so much different.
What you see in Singapore,dun expect the same thing in Batam.
Life is so much harder in Batam than in Singapore.
No proper roads and all.
The thing that left me an impact is the visit to the orphanage home.
Seriously,I am wondering how they cope with their lifes there.
With no proper hygiene and all.
Its really sad to see how,as a Singaporean,we dun appreciate things.
Like food.
Sometimes,we complain that we dun like the food and all.
Back in Batam,those children eat everything they could.
Just to fill their stomach.
Plus,we can have a choice of what to eat daily.
They,could only eat what is given to them.
Worse,their food is so little.
They savor every rice cos they know they might not be able to eat again for a long time.
And I am very happy to see them happy with our company.
And I made a close bond with all those children.
Even thought it was hard to communicate with them,at the end of the day,we could feel the close bond I had with them.
It broke my heart to see me leaving them.
I was in the bus and they waved to me goodbye with tears on their eyes.
Worse,they asked me to call them when I am back.
Tell me,how am I suppose to contact them?
As the bus left,they followed us till they couldnt.
I wanted to cry,but I controlled.
Seriously,it was a pitiful sight to see.
And I hope that they are doing good now.
I keep thinking how they are doing right now.
Even now as I am writing down,i am thinking.
We Singaporean should be lucky of what we have and not take them for granted.
So next item came the dinner and dance programme.
Everyone wore their best.
I was all hip hop baby.
I won an award for being the most popular guy in school but I asked Amir to take for me.
HAHA!
Best,the award was a Harris Mug which I broke it in Spore.
Pfft.
Then that night,everyone came to my room to party.
You know,my crib is big!
Hahaha!
So yeah,that was all for Batam.
I wish I could go back there someday.
I miss it so much!

And you duno how much I miss you back there lynette.
