Mr ONE: Evann, pls share your thoughts about your India trip and how you see yourself as a Singaporean after your HK and India trips.
Evann: During this India trip, like what I share to the study hall students, it really made me step out of my comfort zone as a Singaporean and allowed me to instill discipline in my daily routine. As a Singaporean, we will somehow always take things for granted. Like the school we go to, and start complaining about every single things that come into our way. But during this cultural exchange to Hong Kong and India, the students there literally grab every single opportunities that come in their way, and always without fail treasure whatever they have now with them. I guess as Singaporeans we have to also learn to grab each opportunity given to us.

Ruibaya: The India trip was a really special trip for me. This is so that I have learnt about life and being independent. Taking things for granted. People there(young or old) work to get their needs satisfied and in Singapore we are no even satisfied with our wants and ask for more. We should also learn to be more considerate and think wisely and not complain about everything. The people there do not get excellent facilities like Singaporeans and they have no problems with that. So we should feel bless that we do not get mosquito bites and clean water to drink.
