Just some crap

"Nowhere" = "Now"+"here" "Intimacy" = "Into-me-I-see" Well, just a little something to consider for the day:-)

Voting

Well i have just woken up from my delicious slumber. My apologies for being away for quite a while! Anyway during my absence here i was actually doing many things--some of which are not worth mentioning, i guess lol...But i think my first-time voting experience is not something that i could talk about everyday over dinner table and therefore, definitely deserves some good room in this entry too. In retrospect, i remember being literally coerced to wake up pretty early on the 27th of July. After one final glimpse of my reflection to ascertain that i was, to a large extent, "properly" dressed for the eagerly-awaited event, I made my way down from my room to the living room, only to discover that everyone else had been waiting for me. Well, the voting place was just some minutes walk from my house, but we preferred taking the car, anyway. Upon arrival at the venue, we could already see the big throng of people, old and young, male and female, lining up in neat rows waiting for

Over

I think i am over it!!! And the only reason why I have decided to make this public because i want to tell the world that I HAVE HAD ENOUGH. It's time i faced the truth!!! There is this very big gap between us, the gap that has widened in the course of those many years of being apart, and the gap too big now to be bridged ever again. For the first time in so many years, i feel that this heavy thing is lifted off my chest. It is also time I opened my eyes wider and started to appreciate the beauty of the world. Can't believe I was stuck there for so long! Can't believe i let it eat away at my heart and soul, draining energy out of my body for years! God!! I was almost paralysed just because of it. I remember telling people about it, and they were like, "What? It's been years, dude! Drop it!" I knew this whole waiting thing sounded so lame to them. Couldn't blame them, could i? They'd never understand how i was feeling back then, how i wished someone with

The Mountain

Man on the mountain Struggles to reach the top, Worn, weary and tired He knows he mustn’t stop. Trying to just hold on Yet another slippery slope, Reaches out for a vine Completely woven of hope. Looking to the summit Knowing he’s almost there, Strength now renewed This victory seems so near. Reaching the heavens Standing tall upon its peak, Nothing is impossible If God’s help you truly seek.

Worry

I am worried sick now! I read the papers today this morning, and the Thai troops were increasing in size from about 165 in total yesterday to 200 something already, according to local papers. I can't believe that the fraternal bond between Cambodia and Thailand is being stretched at both ends that it might just, you know, break if no immediate actions are taken to grapple with the gravity of the situation. Some Khmer families near this Wat--i can't remember the name--actually fled their homes and sought shelter and protection from the Khmer troops stationing there at Preah Vihear. Despite the fact that constant negotiation is in progress, one can feel the tension. Nevertheless our Prime Minister has made it clear that AT ALL COSTS there MUST NOT be fighting back if firing breaks out. I am sincerely in constant hope that this turbulence is over soon, and that Thailand and Cambodia are on good terms once again. After all, we are neighbors and despite the cultural diversity and al

Pizza Day 12/08

This is the before picture...They all look totally "NOBLE" here... Living in a democratic society, an individual should be democracy-oriented, and this actually means reaching consensus over big things to sth really small but IMPORTANT like choosing the right pizza type lolz... Pizza-ing can be very fun...ENJOYABLE I am TOTALLY sure that you know this guy. This pose is called Rosy Rose Pose lolz...(Dude, no offence, really!!!lolz...) Kidnapping is the last thing you ever want to do, i am sure! But abducting, which is synonymous in meaning with kidnapping, can be done provided that YOUR VICTIMS ARE WILLING TO BE ABDUCTED...LOLZ.. Alright!!! We are definitely SWEET couple-to-be (kidding, ppl...Mo's gonna kill me if she ever reads this line) With the increasing inflation phenomenon, everyone is suffering except this bunch of three MOLESTERS, who can literally do molesting acts anywhere anytime at their convenience... This shot is supposed to be the Crazy Shot, and guess who

Me--OC Awardee

Just read this email from Mr. Roth Hok. Well the content of the email is about how grateful he is for all we, the Organizing Committee members, have contributed to the school in various school activities, and also about the name of those OC awardees to be granted a certificate of appreciation each. Lucky enough, i happen to be one of those to be awarded the certificate too. So are Tha, Hour, Je and Pagna. Of course it should go without saying that we deserve just that. Anyway i did send him a list of names of those involved in the two skits, and came up with really really moving lines in my email hoping that he would be at least touched enough by my words to award those "actors" and "actresses" a certificate each too in recognition of their initiativeness and effort. I am still waiting for his approval, though. I really really hope for the best!!! These folks deserve just as much as we the OC members do. I think it is not only about putting up a good performance. Th

How it feels like to be a graduate...

Really FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDD this time!! All that remains of my academic life at IFL is just a faint smell of memories now. Faint? This adjective "faint" is not quite qualified enough to describe how I feel about those memories and my IFL friends. It is funny that i have just been away from them physically for just a few days and now i start to miss them a lot. Anyway, i have been trying to shut out all those unhealthy thoughts and really treat myself to some special things that myself deserves for all the hard work. And guess what? In return for the four year academic struggle, i decided to buy myself a ticket for a five-day Singapore trip...It is quite funny that i am not as excited at the prospect as i used to be some months ago...And so, i was like asking myself, "Now that exam is over, what are you really looking forward to?" And to be very frank, I was then staring blankly at my own reflection in the mirror, racking my brain for some satisfactory answer
