Stargazing...

The Lamppost guides along the pavement have ended. Out through the moist field into the dark forest and along the river that lead out to the ocean. At the corner of the rock cliff, mouth of the river is a good place to hang out. Just me and someone who is unique yet special. We chatted and the hourglasses have flipped up and down countless of time because time simply flew by fast. After a stick of cigarette, spared my sling bag that is my after work uniform in it, and lying down. We have stargazed, from 3 stars and star started not to be shy therefore appeared. From 3 to 9 or even more… The hand is as smooth as silk with honey and milk. In times, I am worried in the future that would our relationship go well? I started to stone and just see the wave fighting, wanting to overtake the land. But a sweet voice saying, ‘Don’t stone too much. Anything you wanna to share?’ I lay down together by not wanting to know the future. Is like you pause a movie and debating what would the ending be… But I am glad via hearing the heartbeat making me felt calm. The warm of the body make me felt out of the cold loneliness. Together stargaze and more stars started to smile. Not smile as happily, but a blush smile throughout the darkness night.

You know who you are,

I am glad you accepting me who I am,

You have no idea how much I love you,

And I will fight my best to give you whatever wish you requested…

I Don't Wanna Go Home...

The place was unique, Colleague that I have met is super friend but yet insane, the job was good and the paid out was satisfying. I am simply happy, glad and contend. I am learning and this is my first time experience in retail line. So far I have not come across ‘hard-handle’ customer but I sure need to understand which part of the section that the product sell and communicating and understand the stock in the branch I am working and other branch to know if there is available of stock. But in order to be confident and handle it well, I must get used and know their system within the store well. Each day I simply learn something new, each day I overcome challenge but it can be suck if the time flew slow… I don’t think I am salesperson or retail assistance. I am like a mobile customer-service…

Everything Is Huge In China...

Not long after a week break in Singapore, I am off to China, Shanghai. In the night, I am so glad Farah & Sha came to visit me. I met them at the Coffee Bean At Terminal 3. But I realize that my jacket might not be the capability to keep me warm in the freezing temp in Shanghai. The temp now drop from 15 to 5 degree. Haha… I am abit nervous as I don’t really know what to expect in that temperature. But we reach there by 0600 by China Eastern. The plane experience, don’t wanna talk about it.

Miss Izzaty And I

Shanghai Airport

So we took a 2 hours bus ride and this is my buddy, Benny.

My Dearest Good Friend, Anson & Ignatius.

Beside me my buddy, Benny

The temperature was okay but when it comes with a chill wind, OMG. That all I can say… So we check in before we go to the World Biggest Whole Sale Market. What the name ah?

Brief

Each stall you spend 5 min you will take 2 years to complete. The stall is endless but they are more specialize to bulk sale. Target audience more to distributor so they don’t sell retail quantity.

Many of them like the blade-less fan. Ideal for children at home.

Selling Price: 100 RMB (Sin $20)

Singapore: Courts (Sin $300)

I and Benny make a quick explore from District 1 to 4.

This is District 2 Only

Took a rest at district 3

Here is the overall plan view of the whole sale market. I think from one end to another is at least 3 to 4km.

After the whole day at the District Market, we went back to check-in the hotel and had a good rest. But here afew snap shot:

As we were waiting...

I guess we are close to red-light district. Btw, among all the experience with backpacking and travelling, this is the first time I come across hotel that provide "Safe Protection"

By night fall we have an Ice-cream which I dont know why and a massage...

After had my ice-cream plus the weather...

Fuyo...

Let freeze to death everybody...

Jason felt ticklish
I And Kaya

First Phase - Soak in warm water with... I have no idea...

Well he massage is only costing about 40 RMB (SIN$8) for an hour. It was a good deal and thanks to Kaya, she sound and look like local and told the massager that we are from Malaysia.

The next day we check out and off to the university...

Naz was excited...

We have no idea what the professor trying to say...

We graduate...

Majority in this university are international student. Most are from Korea and there are 60+ student in this university. Their famous course is mainly from Social Science To Medic Science.

We went to have lunch and of cause we must have sight-seeing...

So When The Night fall we head back to the main city. This is one of the main bridge, The Shanghai Bridge. But below there is a river and it only happen on the full moon and 2 part of the world. Shanghai and Amazon. That is the tiger wave. Huge wave and current rushing through the river. As it a tsunami entering but it not.

We having dinner and there is beer...

The very next day, we haed to one of Singapore Entrepreneurship, Jackie. She is very friendly & motherly. She told us alot of interesting story on her life of setting business. Example, not long there is a fire happen in the next building. The fire broke out in the 18 story. The fireman came and activate the ladder but it can only go up to 10 floor. The fire host up to 5 floor as result they have lack of idea on how to put outfire because is at 18 floor and they able to reach 15 floor. Than they went next building but the gap was too far. They took helicopter, but the smoke rising upward as result they cant see. So the fire went on for 5 hours. They may have the technology but only the application. So after her talk we have our lunch there...

Facili, Jackie And Me...

Our Buddies Meal

After that, we went to explore the street, sightseeing of Shanghai...

The Skyline Of Shanghai...

Street...

The Bund

And I Simply Dont Get It Why They wanna Drink Cold coffee again...

Is a nice 5D 4N and i sure know that most of the participant that usually take thing for granted back in Singapore. That is Customer-service. There are few thing I did not update haha because I forget easily. Anyway I met lot of new friend again and kind of miss teasing them...

Reflection:

In Singapore business retail cultural, most of the audience is more to 'want' rather than 'need'. when they have the mentality of 'want' natural their demand of other thing have increase. Such as quality and a good customer service. But in Shanghai, the demand is so high that most of the people here is 'Need'. In time I saw poor customer service (really poor) but the business still went great. I guess the people here dont mind the service nor quality, because they just need the product.

The Wonders Of Cambodia

I did not expect to participate in this trip but I guess I was destiny to be here together with 25 students in Republic Polytechnic, Student Learning Trip. We as a student are kind of unique that contribute society in the community service. You may think that is a common contribution such as building a library, install solar panel or even construct or building something for the needs. But here is our objective and you might find it amaze, simple but yet challenging.

Our objective are: Conduct a Physical Education (PE), Erect and paint the playground & Plan and execute the Sport Day for the three schools. And this project is called:

The first few days, we visited the home stay and our host told us the stories that through bad time, the cultural and the utilities and we have learn how to converse.

Live! Story...

Be a Good Girl and Save Water Okay...

Not long we visited the 3 schools. Trapeng Po, Klok Kambot & Koh Trach.

The first school was Trapeng Po. The kids were excited and we there to survey the school. We greet them the kids by Jim Reap Sourl (Hello) and Sok Sabai The (How are you?) They normally respond Sabai (fine) but sometime they laugh at our pronunciation.

Than the Klok Kambot, we have to walk at least 1.5km to 2km because the road condition, the bus unable to go there. The kid were the least population among the 3 school.

Than the final school is Koh Trach where we were late and the student have been dismiss.

Miss Siti & Mr Hafiz Must Be Good student Or Else...

Or Else They Have To Write Line In Khmer Like Mr Rum...

Than we visited a few of the temple unfortunate I forget to bring my camera as result I got to steal a few picture. Angkor Wat is one of the main tourist attraction in Cambodia.

The Match Begin...

Of cause daily there is reflection and I like how our advisor (Fazz & Yihua) bought up a very good point of view to reflect.

Than the most exciting part is the Sport Day soon arrive but my team mate, Wei Jing & Terence, they too are headache because it is challenging to meet the demand of the prize giving logistic side. So we cut down few participant that took part of each tele-match and decided any age could play to reduce our stress. But final we overcome it and our team sort out the gift. But the day have arrive and we have at least 500 student excited waiting at 0700 where we arrive at 0830. They simply cant wait for the game to start. Here afew snap shot:

The day is over and of cause we must have shopping to pamper ourself…

Than we leave Siem Reap and move forward to south-east Phnom Penh. Just a short domestic flight, 45 mins. We arrive and visit their historical site…

The Victum Have To Follow These Rules Or Else...

They would Be Torture...

The killing field just have that huge presence. The place we are in 2 Million of innocent victim died and we just kept quiet and pay respect. But indeed is and eye-opening site…

450 Victim Of Skeletal Have found But There No skull To Be Found

2 Million Innocent Victim Have Died...

Paid Their Sincere Respect

Not long the last few shooping and we head home. But the next day we celebrate and have a drink in Singapore.

But till now I do miss the trip but it always bought back memories and smile when I read this special and personal postcard...

Reflection:

When giving someone a helping hand, the most rewarding is to see their smile. But there one thing I learn that the power of access we have. We could give a helping hand to the society out there by making a big difference. Now we have giving an idea how PE Lesson should be and therefore, most likely they will carry on the trend there. Remember with great power come with great responsibilities. Is how we use it that make it effective that leave a heart-warming impact out there in the society...
