im back from famine camp! and i wanna hurry blog so that i can put the shitty parts of it behind me.
famine camp was..a very thought-provoking camp. definitely not enlightening, but it really puts things into perspectives. the part i appreciated the most was the talk by the founder of the blue dragon foundation in vietnam which takes care of the street children, as well as by Vi who was an ex streetchild turned social worker for street children. the founder wasnt even vietnamese, but he cared enough to make a difference for others far from his homeland; that i really respected.

funnily enough i wasnt really very hungry throughout the camp, but there were definitely a number of symptoms, muscle fatigue and tiredness and short temper and headache and yada yada.

to cut a long story short, kudos to the camp organisers cos through the activities i did get a mild sense of what the life of a child in poverty felt like. however there weas a lot of miscomm and poor management in my opinion; esp today. 80% of the time was spent waiting and moping. plus the hysteria to collect bags in the end was epicly scary. sort of reminded me of titanic, it was that ridiculous. but cant complain, i was worried for my belongings too. the funny thing was that when we took the lift down afterwards i saw a sticker saying 'schindler's lifts'. talk about poetical justice. o.0

but there were good experiences - participated in a flash mob, fasted for 30 hours, getting to listen to jack and ray.. all were pretty cool ^^. although i have no favourable comment about the dinner they gave us, which is really saying something. some of the guys shovelled down two packs of rice which was rather epic to watch though i wouldnt care to emulate, i couldnt even finish my own.



have a headache and bloated stomach from eating too much too fast i guess. going to fetch lynn and mom from airport tomorrow. would sincerely like to rest in peace. literally speaking.
