I'M BACK, I'M BACK!
I love this retreat so much and had so much fun that it can't be expressed through words! I learnt so much things and get to know alot more people other then my own clique. Having been with this christians for 4 days makes me feel so loved. Getting along well with my group(Mojojojo) and crazy roommates(the durians!), painting and cleaning of orphanage, learning to be grateful from the orphans, learnt what is true friendships and making of a decision to change for the better in the coming year, learning to have faith in GOD for he can do everything.

The thing that is so heartening is seeing how grateful the orphans are with the little things that they have, and having so much more reason to be ungrateful yet seems to be so contented. They have no parents, their living conditions are not good at all, they don't have good food, they don't have as much toys as Singaporean kids, yet they are still so joyful. They are so easily contented and so pure. The food that we ate aren't of Singapore's standard, I complained alot about it and never once did I finish everything in the packets of food, but when the orphans got their food, they are so happily eating away and finished everything. This makes me feel really guilty and ashame. They love the attention that we've given them and I love them too, but it wasn't easy interacting with them as they don't speak in my language nor do I speak theirs. I cried having to leave the orphanage as I really don't know when I will be seeing them again. I really miss them alot.

We also had a "toast for change". Toast a drink to promise that we will change for the better in the coming year. I will try my best to change!

This is thus far the best retreat I ever had!
