2nd reflection

Day 8 (Sat)

Okay, coming to an end liao. Just 1 more day to go, then it's back to S'pore.

Well, must say that I'm really impressed by just how environmentally-conscious the aussies are, how involved their institutions are with the general community and education of the young, how big a role sports play in the ordinary aussie's lives, by the infrastructure and space they have, and by their sincere willingness to share.

Am also glad to know another 19 ppl from red dot, amongst whom a few of them seem to have the potential to be pallies beyond this trip. Some have taken good care of me and I'm truly thankful - mature men do really have their charm. =)

Oh well, thinking of going back, there's just so much to tie up, so much resources to lug back, so many people to share with. I really hope they'd go on and build things up from the scaffold I've put together. Am stimulated and excited by the vast opportunities available over here in oz and hope I can go back and excite the rest too.

Byes, thanks for all the memories. Been a great trip.
