It is drizzling again. And the sky is occassionally lit up by flashes of lightning. No thanks to the raging thunder, my ears are almost deafened. No doubt, after the rain will come flood and traffic congestion. This is so typical here! Despite knowing that I am at risk of being held in the traffic any minute now, I still cannot resist the temptation to do my blogging here in Staff Room 2. And despite the fact that there is nothing specially worth being talked about today, i still manage to indulge myself in writing this very new entry. Tomorrow is the International Labour Day, and I do not have any plans in mind yet except for the fact that I might call for a meet-up with my friends. Well, Mo suggested going on a tuk-tuk tour around th city, but going cruising seemed more appealing to me. Too bad the plan was called off since Mo claimed it would not be a good idea going out in the river with this chaning weather. So still waiting for any sponatneous plan..

It is so uncomfortable being wrapped in this sweat-stained shirt and having the whole sticky experience. Really need a cool soothing shower! Wish there was a bath tub in the middle of my room so that I could watch TV, take a bath, and do all the lesson planning at the same time. Just left my school though I was supposed to do so a few hours ago. I start to feel that time sort of zooms past you in a flash. One moment you start teaching, and the next moment when you look at your watch, it is 5pm. And it is all about rushing here and there now! As a student, I never bothered to notice how hurried my lecturers always seemed to be. It is only when I become one of them do I realize how hard my legs and feet have to work collaboratively together so that my whole exhausted body could be spinned around. Anyway starting to get the feeling that I am closer to BC 21. I am not sure it is because of their friendliness towards me or the other way around. Given the nature of the subject I have to tea

A Friday Night

It is 8 30 at night now, and i am still stuck at school, no thanks to the bad traffic after the torrential downpour. From the tiny little window that overlooks the pond, I could see the long line of cars inching forward bit by bit. Certainly the drivers must be feeling sick to death! But some people would also be probably enjoying it. Who wouldn't want some long private time with his girlfriend all by themselves in the car? Any fool would not wish to miss such a chance, especially when the rain is still drizzling like this. All they would probably need is just a nice romantic song to set just the right mood. Too bad that I am stuck here! Feeling exhausted to the core already. I am really craving for my soft comfortable bed at this hour. This is the first week at school after the vacation, yet I am feeling absolutely overstretched. This is one of the longest weeks ever remembered! They say time flies when you are enjoying something, and they say time sort of freezes during moments o

Dilemma

Been away for a while, no thanks to the long tedious Khmer New Year break. Classes are resumed once again, and I am dragged back into the life of slavery at IFL once again also. Well, perhaps a little too exaggerated, yeah. But it is true that I am being a little overstretched. Anyway been preoccupied by my cousin's dilemma . I am sure if I were in her shoes I would be feeling as if I were in the tug of war. She has to choose between her boyfriend who is loathed by almost every relative, including me, and a guy she barely knows. I address the "new" guy by Bong since he is as old as my brother, and despite the fact that I have met him in person just once, I could tell that he is way more mature and responsible and polite and...You name it. There is no denying that my cousin's current boyfriend is no match for him. Maybe except for the painful truth that she is too heads over heel in love with that ruthless jerk. And I guess this matters a lot. But what from I perceiv

I am now on a two-week break, but I am not that free, given the six thick stacks of exam paper tucked away somewhere inside my messy room. And I am feeling great about it though it is hard to look for a company nowadays. My friends are knee-deep in work, and there is no way they could possibly sneak out for more than two hours during weekdays. So I end up going to places alone! And it is fun just being on your own doing what you like. At least I have time for myself. What I enjoy doing most now is watching DVDs! I have 20 new DVDs!!! Those were carefully picked. Too bad that blackouts are in and out often, and as a result, I have just managed to finish three movies, The Twilight, Seven Pounds, and Underworld. I LOVE the first two!!! Those are two stories of great self-sacrifice. Though the stories are pretty predictable from the beginning, I still love almost every plot in the movies. I mean, a true love between a "vegetarian" vampire and a normal girl? a well-planned suicide
