Hobey-ho!
Haha, I know I haven't been posting lately...
No, I'm not busy, I'm not dead...
I'm just L.A.Z.Y. yes, lazy to post...
Partly cause no one really reads this post, I have no inspiration to post about...
So, I'm pretty much a dead fish. My holidays are totally boring so far, apart from the fantastic trip to Kunming, I've literally been rotting at home!!
Trust me guys, I've changed, ever since the Kunming trip. I've changed alot. Maybe its because I finally realise how much we have in Singapore to appreciate, and that most of us, and I mean most of us, take things for granted. For example, the toilets. You'd probably think; "What are you talking about? A toilet is a toilet, nothing more!!" well ladies and gentlemen, you're totally wrong.
There, the toilet is something like a concrete drain, thats all. No flushing, no water running, just a drain, with stagnant, smelly and solidifying human waste. Not that I mind the smell, but seriously, the toilets here are a hundred times better. But we still it for granted.

Ok, something simpler, just the peace and quiet of the village, compared to Singapore's crazy, noisy rat race. Over there, you could actually find a quiet spot under the open sky, with beautiful stars above your head, talking to some people about all your problems or just about what happened for the day. You can't do that in Singapore, ever. And now, I'm freaking pissed at how I see everyone around me, taking things for granted, and forsaking the privilege of living in a modern city.

Take it from me people, if you would go to the village, you won't nearly be able to survive there. No baths, no TV, no internet, and no nice toilets. Just living spartan. And that, my friends, is the experience that changed all of us who went to Kunming.

We left as immature teenagers.
We lived the hard life.
We learned the lesson of appreciation.
We came back mature adults.
