Liping's reflection
A throwback to yesterday. We went to visit the death railway museum, the cemetery, the temple and the death railway bridge. It was quite amazed that the prisoners who built the bridge within one year.In the museum we got to know more about the death railway and the lives of the prisoners. The prisoners lived in a very bad conditioned environment and treated very inhuman by the Japanese officers. The prisoners suffered tortures and illnesses, many of them died from these tortures and illnesses. The prisoners were so thin and were a bag of bones. During that period of time, the prisoners had no stationaries or poke cards to write or play. They used what they had to write something to keep them feel alive. Power is a very powerful weapon which can destroy someone yet it can also benefit someone. It was very sad that the Japanese officers used their superior power to torture the prisoners but they did not realise that they were normal people the prisoners were normal people too. Perhaps some of them did not willing to do this but were forced to do so. I learnt that as a leader, sometimes it is hard to make a decision which people will satisfy with. However sometimes you have to make a decision which you strongly feel that it is a right thing to do even though no one supports you. It is just like when my friends asking me to hang out with them but I choose to stay at home as I have a lot of homework to do. Even though my friends may not happy with me but I have to do as I think finishing my homework is my first priority. If not I may stay up late just to finish my homework.

Last Day
A few more hours till we reached Singapore. This trip has been really memorable to me. My goal to opened up more and also to make new friends was achieved. I will definately remember the bonds that we build through this journey.
Im really gonna miss the funny moment happened in the guest house. This trip will definately be in my mind.. I hope this trip could be longer though

What an unforgettable trip it was. It is my first time traveling overseas with my school, I have learnt a lot and also gained a lot from this leadership trip.As an NCC and student leader, I would like to share my knowledge about the importance of conservation and positive influence with my fellow friends.
Qian Er's day 3 reflection
Kanchanaburi day 3 ; 19 November 2016

Today marks the last night in Thailand, I have enjoyed the trip very much so far. I would like to thank the teachers for selecting me to go for this trip. I am really grateful for being able to go for this trip with this bunch of people. Personally, I think that this trip is very memorable as I got to learn more about Thailand as well as my schoolmates. I am really thankful that I am able to sleep with Ismath and Liping after being separated from Megan. I want to specially thank my group mates ( Ismath, Fatehah, Liping, Diyanah, Zaid ) for tolerating my nonsense and make my trip fun and enjoyable! :) I also want to thank my housemates ( Ismath , Yan Tong , Tong Shan , Gigi , Liping , Diyanah ) that stayed with me for the first two nights. Sleeping with them for two nights was very fun as we party a lot in the guest house. I want to specially thank Yan Tong for being such a caring person. Although she is a junior but she acts like a senior in the guest house taking care of us. I remembered that she boiled hot water for us as some of us wanted to eat cup noodles. She is like a mother hen taking good care of us in the guest house and keep making us laugh with her jokes. Thank you everyone once again for making this trip such an memorable and fun one !!! :)

Megan's day 3 reflection
Day 3 reflection : Today is my last night in Thailand as i will be going back to Singapore tomorrow. Time flies really quickly, i still feel like i have just arrived in Thailand. I really enjoyed the trip as it was truly enriching and i have got to know my friends better. In my opinion, i feel that the duration of the trip should be longer as most of our time spent was on getting from place to place.
All in all, if i had the opportunity to go on such school trips again, i definitely would apply for it. However, if I'm not able to, i will encourage my juniors to join such school trips. Such trips are hard to come by and are certainly worthwhile. Thank you teachers for making this trip a reality, i really had lots of fun with my friends. :)
