My reflection on Bintan Trip- 5th to 8th March 2009
I must say that this Bintan Trip was a very priceless, adventurous and fun experience for me. I went there as a Student Leader with my dearest D.I.C.E team,
fellow Secondary 2 Normal Technical students 
and wonderful teachers. 
The main purpose of this trip was Service-Learning. I got to witness dear EVGians scraping and painting the walls enthusiastically. This really impressed me and warmed my heart.
The Indonesian kids could not stop smiling when they saw us. This thought really pleased me and motivated me even further as I painted the walls. 
I had realized that the source of happiness does not have to come from a big achievement. It could the simple and little things that could make our day. The sweat and hard toil, paid off.
On the other hand, I got to try the high elements like climbing coconut trees and Flying-Fox.
If words could describe how I felt at that time, I guess I would be speechless. I recalled the moment I tried to close my eyes and jumped down from the boat during ‘Boom-Netting’. 
I always thought that I was afraid of heights, but no, in fact, I was actually afraid of falling. I just needed to take one more step to enjoy the split seconds of conquering fear. I was so glad that I did it. I must thank the instructors for giving us clear instructions so to ensure that it was safe when we tried to attempt it. 
This Bintan Trip was also an opportunity for me to strengthen bonds with my teachers and friends. Though the hygiene may not be as good as what we have in Singapore, I believe all of us had fun there. It was definitely a good learning experience. I mean, where can you get to experience all of these?
Their lives are carefree and easy. Somehow, it was amazing that I was out of touch with technology for 4 full days and I did it without groaning. This shows how much I have enjoyed myself in this trip.
I will remember every single bit of memory of this trip because it was so amazing!
