It's been so long since i've posted. The computer can't use msn and other com is spoilt.

Cambodia has given me a new perspective of poor. Every village we went to, there's bound to be one naked male infant. (approx: 1-2years old) Their/his family was too poor to buy clothes for him. Not everybody could afford go to school. I kept comparing the children there to the children here. And I noticed that we're already so fortunate, but we keep complaining because we like to compare what we have with those richer than us. But we don't think about those who stay in third world countries. They're so poor that they don't even know when their next meal will come. Their hair looks dyed but it's because of malnutrition. Some of their hair were streaked blonde, because of malnutrition.

I'm just so grateful for what i have now. Going there was really an eye opener. I was touched by the kids. On saturday, we went to three villages. The church there had a truck which was used as sort of like a school bus. On the way to the third village it rained very very heavily. So we all thought that not many children would come. To our surprise, more than expected came. There were 138 children who came. They all came to sing praises to the LORD and to learn abt him. I was so inspired. But something kept ringing in my head, were they coming for the snacks which would be given out or were they coming to praise GOD. Actually three of the church's workers, who were very dedicated, initially came because of the snacks. And now they're even working for the church. Praise GOD!

I think ever since i signed up for this mission trip, i think i grew a lot in the word of the LORD. I also understand the questions in cell group better. The trip actually also taught me that true friends will respect your decision even if it makes you different from them. Like Joshua's testimony, he had friends who often used vulgar words. But he decided not to use them and to lead a better life, and his friends respected his decision.

I'm not going to write anymore, bye!

This is NATalie, the narcissistic little girl. This girl is smarter than she looks and dumber than she speaks. She knows that she is very crazy very often because she can get high on nothing. Natalie can choose to be super duper; friendly, high, emo, silent, shy and happy as she has many different personalities. She is proud to be a golfer and glad to be a musician.
 Lastly, Natalie hopes to see you tag her blog.
