hello. i am going philippines this coming monday with my course for 5 days! honestly i feel very mixed up. having mixed feelings. i am kind of dreading it because of all the living condition and how everything's like so rushed... and it's pretty expensive for a 5-days trip to a fishing village. $900++!!! hahaha. sorry for complaining but even my hk trip for 7 days is cheaper! and apparently the toilet is 2km away (i hope my teacher was kidding) without lights, heater, flush... and it's home-stay!! and everything there is muddy and poke-ish we cant wear our slippers and all... and i'll be cut of totally from singapore.... because there won't be any network there, no socket no electricity at all! aww will miss my mommy and daddy and cel and gab!! and of course all my friends. <3
the silver lining? we are going to the slum area, smoky mountain. (you can google it) it's the place where the poorest of the poorest live in. it's actually just a huge rubbish dump. and i'm kind of excited, to meet the kids there... i wanna give them my dresses and accessories! and ya i wanna hugggg them. :) they need to know a God out there loves them... and i wanna share the gospel with the family i'm gonna stay with. so ya. they are actually worth it. the toilet. the money. the heat and all the discomfort. and anyway deep into thoughts i kinda wrote a poem for them... pardon me. 
all those people they never get a proper place to rest
all those little girls, most will never get to wear a dress.
nor will the little boys get to gel their hair.
they would never know how precious they are in the sight of their Father
how He loves them like no other.
so where are we, what are we doing here.
will you leave your place of comfort
will you go beyond the dirt
will you be God's outstretched arms,
arms for the broken-hearted.
will you live to carry His compassion
will you go the extra mile
to love a world that's lost and broken?
