i've just returned from the best trip in the whole universe, OCIP SHANGHAI 2008.i've said my final goodbyes to the most wonderful bunch of kids in the whole universe in shanghai, li min xiao xue. i've said goodbye to one of the best teams i've met and worked with , and all i hope is that the next time we meet we're no longer the strangers we all started out as. its amazing how many things can change in 15 days.
A team was built, strong bonds were forged, some happiest and saddest moments occured and i fell in love. When we first started i disliked this OCIP SH team very much. the first few ocip meetings we had were boring and ppl( includ me) were hesitant to share. other than that i had bad first impressions of many ppl, i remember i was just whining and complaining to audrey after every ocip meeting that i am never going to survive 15 days with this grp of ppl. boy was i wrong.
you guys have reminded me how happy being a teenager is, especially being a teenager with a cause, and have taught me many many things. most imporatantly, i dont dislike the hwa chong culture like i did before this trip anymore. i have learnt how to be stonger then what i used to be, and i have also learnt how weak i can get when everthing falls. but one thing i realize i can never overcome no many how many times it repeats , is saying goodbye.
The pain of saying goodbye to the kids, the school, our team and eventually even the random places in sh like TBC, Qi pu lu is so painful. my idol said ' be happy cos what you done is worth cherishing and not emo ing' and that made things bit easier but then if leaving is not sad, how come breakups and stuffs are so painful. this is not meant to be a emo post but the emotions are flowing out again.
i remeber how the kids held the photo of me and them for the whole day on the last day no matter where they went, and the beautiful smiles they gave me. i remember how they would shout "jie jie!" or to my other team mates " ge ge" when we came down during break time. i remember the games they taught us, like xiao jie and lao ying zhuo xiao ji, and train and the strings etc, i remember the phrases they taught me, like when i made a promise with them, it always made me smile. i remember the wonderful lunches we had in the school, and the very hilarous toilet trips with sheena and ehui. i remeber my attempts at sanding and painting the walls, which were always inferior compared to the other participants heh. i remember long ge teaching me bball and the other peeps i played with at the village sch who has made me fall in love with bball. i remember holding the kids so close to me in my arms and swinging them in the air and seeing and listening to those wonderful laughs, those moments i really felt they were my kids.i remeber walking down to food street with the participants for xiao long bao-the nicest in the world after a disgusting dinner. i remember meeting long ge, who is one of the coolest senior i have evr known, who plays guitar freaking well, and have got me thinking about a future with YMCA. i remember how we have strategies at bargaining with the shop ppl there but walking away SLOWLY so he can call us back to give us the price we wanted.i remember the cup-noodles sharing sessions and screwed-up T.O.Ts in my room.i remeber how difficult it was to wake up every morning, but i'll think of the kids smiles and pull myself up. i remember the few days when my voice broke and mr quek and gang made me call the diff rooms and ask if anyone wants massage.=p i remember how mrs tan would rush into our room after evry mass shopping trip excitedly and showed us her shopping. i remeber kk, sheena, e hui and i standing in that dvd shop and just spamming the counter with our dvds try-out. i remember the bus trips everyday when everyone would be sleeping like no body's business and whenever i tried to sleep ehui's head would knock against mine. i remember the pocky and qq candy they pass ard. i remember the latest k session i ever had- till 4.30 am omg! and i remeber erwin and kk's shocked expression when they woke up in the morning finding themselves in my room and our bed cos they were too bored with the T.O.T session. i remember it was -1 degree and i was shivering like mad at the school, and all the kids came over for a hug that was so warm, it really made things lots better. and i remeber asking them if they were cold, and they gave me such brave smiles and shouted bu leng! i remember too many things that add up to this wonderful memory.
i really hoped the bond forged between us who braved -1 degrees together will last forever. and i really hope i can go back to see those kids at least once more. because i remember promising them under the bright blue sky on the last day that no matter what, i'll be back. and i wont break that promise.
Thank you all for contributing a part to the best memory i have had. i love you guys, the kids there and OCIP SHANGHAI 2008..
