Our date : 9th January 2010
It was early 9am in the morning when all the yep groups gathered at T2147, in anticipation of the sort of long but interesting day ahead.
First up, we chatted and caught up alittle with one another before we were asked to design our group flag. We had no idea what designs we shld put into the flag to make it meaningful. So after some brainstorming, we decided to draw 4 ppl, each representing us. linking us together are the words, hope village yep 2010 Cambodia. in the middle is a house cos we are going there to build a house and in that house, in the process of us going on this trip, we will bring them joy, hope and love.
Next, we sat in our groups to start the Khmer language session by Ms Doris Chan. We were each given a sheet of paper with the translation of those words that we are supposed to learn before we get on to our trip. There were lots of amusements in the class, especially when our leader, CHAN KAMING, keep making funny sounds out of the language and pronunciations.
Soon, it was the long awaited lunch time!!
The whole yep group went to FC 5 where we had our KFCs, PizzaHut, Subway, Instant noodles. We headed by fast so as to AVOID the USD$1 charge for being 1 Minute late.
We were all feeling sleepy after the filing meal but this is when the fun starts. Linda and Solong introduced us alittle about the culture of Cambodia and even dolled up Samantha and Jinwei with the Cambodian costumes in which they wore during their cultural dance.
We were then asked to push all tables and chairs aside to learn the dance but none of us could really catch the movements. Of course, the MOST DISASTROUS dance item came from again, CHAN KAMING and maybe the rest of the guys, while Mr Ben didn't attempt to try at all. :D
After some games and laughter, time passed and it was soon 4pm. A final group photo and YAY! We headed home sweet home.

ALL of us, had learned quite alot about the culture and language in Cambodia. For example, what not to say or how to say it etc. This has also definitely sprawl out our leader's interest as he said that he will be able to learn all the 40 words in the paper before we head to Cambodia. The dance, though seems easy but when we tried it, it was totally not an easy task. Not only must our steps synchronize with the hand gestures, our body must also groove and move in a box-like/circle shape? Maybe the girls in this trip just ain't as graceful huh? HAHA!

Attempting Nasi Lemak?!?!?!
today we had this group outing, at my place! :)
the purpose of thing outing, of course, it is to settle the nasi lemak recipe.
initially, i thought kaming and i could handle it. however, our first attempt of nasi lemak hmmm...well, tasted more like chicken rice instead. (jolie, you should stop laughing. haha.)
too much ginger was the conclusion.
so we tried out the hard boiled egg and hot dog which is pretty much successful.
Jolie and Tiff joined us. We tried another 2 times and came with this conclusion:
Nasi Lemak Recipe
Rice - 1 cup
Coconut Milk - 75ml
Water - 200ml
Pandan Leaves - 4
Salt - half tsp (100 million)
Sugar - a quarter tsp (1000)
we believe that this recipe will be the most edible and tasty one. and of course, that is what we BELIEVE in. haha. and on that day, kaming will be there to count the number of salt and sugar for us! THANK YOU CHAN KA MING!
the second conclusion that we derived from today's meet up is that we hope to get the peer evaluation form so as to allow as an opportunity to mark down on our beloved leader! :)
According to tiff, leader is the one who's in charge of sai gang which very much explains our choice! haha.
alright. we should respect him!
see ya girls & guy soon! :)

Jing Lin
