Kun Ming, Love

back from a land where I first-hand experienced the simplest joy on earth and the simple hearts of mankind. A trip that I wouldn't trade with for anything else. A trip that I left for without much excitement, and came back with a heart of gratitude. A trip that I underestimated its influence to myself and the awesome memories I had. I can only say so much, do so much for the kids in 3 weeks, but they've made a big impact in my heart which I'm sure is going to last for a life time.

Have you ever seen a smile so contented with just a pencil or a sweet in hand? These are the smiles you see when you hand these children perhaps the simplest gifts on earth. The smiles when you simply take a picture with them.. they fight, push, just to take one photo with you. They cry when you leave, they greet you 'lao shi hao!' in the most enthusiastic manner that the primary school kids in singapore never would. They wear the same shirt for the entire week and we complain about our wardrobe that we have nth to wear.

It was really a great trip for me. A God-Blessed trip! And being away is good, I like the distance (I quote schwazer).. Away from technology, away from hectic life in singapore, away from the fast paced world, just the team the kids and myself(and the great food and shopping). I think travelling with friends is one of the merits of this trip.. because it feels like a school outing and you have people you're familiar with. I should travel with friends more.. it makes time easier to pass.

Now that i'm back, I miss the carefree-ness in Kun ming but of cuz I get to meet with the people I love here! =)

Ok gtg! Updates on my reflection soon.
