Friends...

after spending so many days at Batam with a whole bunch of friends, i believe that all our relations build up due to this trip. classmates become close friends, we bonded well even with the lecturers [Ms Lek, Ms Dawn, Danny]. A big Thank You to the 3 lecturers that guide us and take great care of us throughout the journey.

What I learn?

i learn alot of things from this trip, both in the view of optometry and also outside optometry.

i manage to have the opportunity of performing VA testing and Retinoscopy before i step into year-3 clinic and this i believe will give us an advantage over others. i learn how to have patience and not to give up even if you cant get the RX after a long time. practice makes perfect.

i also learnt to appreciate what we have and to know how fortunate we are to live in Singapore. on the other hand they make me realise that happiness is the most important thing in the world. they might not be rich or even fans in their classroom but they are happy with what they have. their laughter and smiles worth much more. their innocence...

they made me grow up.

Feelings...

as i compare all 3 schools, i feel that we bonded well with the first school. i miss the times we played with them on the other side of the window, all the funny stuff like Jian's magic. miss the kids there, the autograph signing, the view of them running behind our bus. i feel sad that day we left the first school. and with it is a bit of regret... i regret not buying some little stuff like chocolates or sweets from the school "canteen" to give them, a small token can make a difference.

not sure whats the feeling now. some kids have blur vision since young and their VA 0.7+, we can help some by giving them glasses but there are also a handful which we cant do much to help them. i feel so helpless especially when the girl Eva could only read 03 after correction, i couldnt do much more to help.

well, life have to go on...

i am looking forward, hoping there will be more overseas trips ahead in my career to help more kids.
