23rd July 2005, Saturday
6:30am: Went to bed at 2am..only had 3 1/2 hrs of sleep...extremely tired..but hafta wake up to prepare for trip. Came home at abt 10-ish due to practice n dinner...then had to start workin on cookies to bring to the orphanage. Alot of stuff had happened on fri, so i wus really bummed out..= (
8:15am: left for school
8:45: Take off for orphanage.

Last but definitely not least...wat better way to end the day with a class photo?...
Final thoughts on the day: extremely memorable..will definitely be goin there again. As cliche-ish as it sounds... Have realised TRULY, how lucky i really am to haf a family and haf all the luxuries the chidren in the orphanage do not haf. Was a really fun day out! really enjoyed it..no fake smiles nothin but genuine happiness and contentment...
Really relieving after the whole drama on friday...So glad things didn't take a turn for the worst =) It's never too late to take a step back to avoid regret..so i haf learnt..... ^^
p.s. Look dreadful in all pix, but I noe it would be difficult to express wat a great time i had, so da pix are the only way to do it!!!( wat a HUGE sacrifice, on my part eh? lol) =P
