i must say that i really enjoyed my trip to sikkim, even though i was hesitant about it before i embark on the journey. now, i have no regrets. in my heart, i know that i will go back to that place again. don't ask me why cause i don't know the reason too. maybe, its just this special feeling that i had when i was there. maybe it was the locals and the environment. maybe it was the people that were with me when i was there. maybe i will not enjoy myself as much if i do go back there again, without the presence of the group. well, i will never know.
apart from discovering more about myself, i am really happy to meet so many new friends, the locals and especially my groupmates. every single individual taught me something, be it good or bad, i learn. every single incident that occured there, allow me to see things in different perspective. one of the major thing that i discovered was never to accept things the way it is. be it the place or people. everybody have two sides to them. even a town which may seems beautiful, has a certain corner that is stuffed with stinky rubbish.
what a wierd analogy. never mind. i am wierd. i fell sick quite a number of times when i was there. the most major one was when i
kena acute mountain sickness when i make it to the final stop of my trekking trip. i can't really remember anything that happen cause i kind of lost consiousness.i really thought that i was going to die. all i know is that i gave my trekking group a big fright.
haha but thank to the disgusting garlic soup that the guides made me drink and my super duper caring friends *
special angels sent from up above =) *
i still can make my way up to the dzongri top and saw the most magnificent view that i have ever see. climbing all the way up was worth it after all. it would be even more memorable if all of us could it there together. then on social culture day, so many of us fell sick, including me.
the weather make us all so vulnerable lo. this is one of the neh part. but i think, its through this tough time that we see how we help each other to get over all this shit together. like lane and winnie. =) what a sweet medic hee~
ok lemme tok about somehting else. the day before school reopens, i was just bumming around in popular bookshop and i was liek so shock to see parents buying piles and piles of assessment books for their children.
like primary school children. oh my goodness! can you guys just let them enjoy school and stop making them feel so stress!!! cant stand it!then i started to ask myself.
rachel yim... are you sure you want to be a teacher? is this really what you want? then now i am having practicum at damai primary
. and again this question keeps popping up in my mind. it hurts me sometimes to see some children in singapore
suffering like this. is this really learning? ok i got to go for assembly now. will continue with this topic later. ciao~
i made it known at 9:26 PM
