Day 2 (7 October)

Day 2

After the late night, i was duly surprised that i even managed to wake up on time and leave the hotel at 8:30am in the morning.

Diabetes session day 2 was in some sense a better one than the day before. This is as the night before we had discussed the situation and decided to simplify our teachings. That and the fact we were more aware of their standards helped us to gauge better how to make the information more applicable to them. I noticed this even though I wasn’t around much due to the fact that I had to finish up the closing video which surprisingly only took me around 3 hours give and take to get done. Not entirely perfect but not shabby considering the time time taken. A personal record in terms of timing for me.

During the day, we also were in for a treat as we were brought to lunch at a Singaporean owned restaurant " Singapore Kitchen". As the name depicts, we had Singaporean local dishes much to the surprise of the entire team. Alas however, nothing stays golden and toes were stepped on due to events like slow service that delayed the team and made us late for our next session and in the case of others a plain rice incident which i shall not go into. It irked me somewhat the teams responses to these events but i decided to leave it at that giving the benefit of a first tripper to a 3rd world country.

In the evening we went supermarket shopping again for some reason I'm not too sure but at the same time we had to pick up dinner and since the team for some reason was anti local food, we settled on Cambodia's very own "Lucky Burger"

After returning to the hotel, i was greeted with a great big bomb shell as Ms Hor (lecturer) informed me that she needed to speak to me. Someone had actually told me before hand but i seriously had thought she would have decided to postpone it. Course I couldn't say no could i? Which led to the lengthly talk we had about my performance as team leader. Insert Here. Long story short, she expressed disappointment regarding some matters which we managed to get ironed out after getting an insight of what each others point of view was. One of which needed me to lead reflections. So I went back to my room instead of heading to party dinner and decided to spend some time alone to firstly get back in touch with God and to focus myself. I've found that the best thing to do whenever I have any problems is to look to God first committing it to Him. After all Seek Ye first the kingdom of God, And all this things shall be added unto you. So then I planned out the reflections and then lead them. Not entirely sure the response but seemed to work I guess. Thank God. =)

Then started another night of night shift as we continued our mad rush to finish up all we needed to do for session preparation. Its likely i slept at 2 plus. In the progress of night shift we also found out there was internet for the fee of 5USD for 5 hours so we decided to split the cost among one another which lead to another drama but thats for another time.
