. CaMbOdIa : DaYs oF workInG aNd PlaYiNg]
The first day we arrived, we had a 40 mins ride to our 'house' for the next 9 days. The dinner was really unexpected as they are normal home cooked food in singapore, chicken soup and vege. i thought it will be food that is totally not the same.
The first day of our working day, at first tot is just moving rocks to the bank doin embarkment, but in the end we become doin the fountation of the school in which is the digging holes process. We used the shavel(dunnoe the spelling well) also many other digging tools la... i dun have much strength so i did not do much of the digging but more on the carrying of soil to a specific place. After all the holes are dug, we fill them back again, but with different compounds. Thats when we start to make cement, it is also the part where i look forward to beri much..i think is quite fun lor, but in actual fact it is really very tiring even worst than digging holes..haha..than we filled the holes with layers of sands, stones, water and cement.. than the last day of our working day, we help in fillin the last layers ( the sands) and use a big stone height about my waist, bery heavy, to flatten the sand. Beri fun also..like flintstone..haha..
thinking way back in singapore the tools we used all all machinery, we gt digging machines, than the flattening tools we also used machine.. though we used all real man power, but is beri fun as u definitely wont get a chance to do it in singapore..their working style also quite relax, not that stress like in singapore. we work in the morning for about 9 to 12, than 12 to 2 break as the sun is too hot, than 2 to 4 plus work again..
OkaY.. fiNiSh wiTh tHe wOrk nOw iS thE iNtEraCtIoN tImE!!
