Pre-trip sentiments.
6:05 PM


It’s all going a little too fast and my mind doesn’t seem to be in sync with the reality. Even though in my faculty of reason I am perfectly aware that our flight to Kunming is at 3.15am 12th November, the rest of my brain is not acknowledging this fact.

So maybe I’m experiencing some sort of a PTS (pre-trip syndrome).

Seriously, it feels like just yesterday that we debated whether to build a road or revamp the toilet (no kidding). How could time pass so fast?

But, then again, it did. Come to think of it, in less than half a year’s time (I think) we’ve successfully accomplished the following: Haig Girls (oh boy, the trauma), Cornflakes (and oh, the food), Patriotic Movement on National Day, Bazaar… Subconsciously or even unconsciously we’ve made this far as a team.

From ROAR to nameless to L.E.G.O.
From silence to awkwardness to laughter.
From strangers to acquaintances to comrades.

Time may be short, but it’s been a long journey.

I don’t know about others, but I surprised myself. To be honest I’ve never been a team player; I preferred (fine maybe I still do) working alone, completing tasks on my own rather than to waste time chasing after shameless assholes who don’t even care. But, call it chemistry (haha, a mini pun), I believe our team’s manifested teamwork at its best; personally there’ve been difficult, unpleasant times, but it’s all been resolved and put aside. Yes we all have our differences, but what makes this team so special is that we’re able to overlook these differences and collaborate with one another.

Thank you, team L.E.G.O. (:

I’m confident that no matter what adversity we face at Yunnan, we’ll somehow find a way to overcome it. Together.

Come a cockroach, we’ll stomp on it.
Come a mountain, we’ll climb it.
Come a kid, we’ll scream at him.
