Ahem... (trying to regain some composure here, my throat's still sore too), anyways when i was leaving Prey Veng that day, I thought, "no words can fully express how i feel abt the place, what i've experienced there, the hospitality of the ppl and kids there, the greatness of the team, the warm feeling that i've contributed something to the place, and the familarity that has grown within us abt the ppl and neighbourhood."
I'll blog again elsewhere abt the trip or create a website for it. we need to saving the good things for another day :)
I haven't thought of any new year resolutions yet. But it's the same every yr I guess, wishing to do good in my studies, be a better person etc. etc. *Yawn* I've heard ppl say resolutions are meant to be broken, esp when they're things you didn't manage to achieve the past year. It doesn't make a difference to me cos every yr it is the same. Maybe i shld try to break this chain and surpass myself this yr? But the lazy person inside me is saying.....just wait till something beyond expectation happens during the year and then declare it as THE resolution that you set on Jan 1st.
Taking a look back at 2006, it was a pretty tough year for me esp Sem 2 as I had a bad kickstart, being thrown off the right academic straight As path due to NVAC Exposition. Not that I'm complaining.....wait a minute....I am. Whatever. I blame it on my stupid self not being able to realise soon enough the damage incurred and when I finally realised it, it took the life of me trying to pick up the pieces. But well, I didn't do too badly just not as good as I hoped. Malay and Computing only got B+....(trying hard not to curse on NYD).
And so, my whole of December's gone. NYD was celebrated without a bang unless you consider dvd marathon watching Friends Season 1 which is way passe like a few years back??? Hellooo there.... why did I wait so long to watch it? I just...... haven't watched it yet.
I need some time to consolidate my thoughts abt Project Sangkhem. After coming back, I've been trying to squeeze time replying my mails on the VD Workshop (pss....VD stands for Volunteer Development) and bidding has been such a numbing experience. Imagine coming home realising you've spent 908 pts on one stupid elective module which you only took because there was nothing else to fill the blank. And then have your mind all jumbled up trying to figure out which last 2 modules you shld take. I've been loading up on sweet stuff: ice-cream, tangyuans, chips, instant noodles etc. ever since I've been home. *Stressed*
Tons of things to do again...and no time. I desperately wish I was back in Cambodia where life was charmingly slow. Everything was sweet about the place. Even our blood grew sweeter as the days wore on, the mosquitoes attacked us with greater ferocity and left us momentos/battle scars aka "Pig Trotters".
As a final note, I'll like to end with the grossest thing I've seen in 2006. This was sth we picked up at a mobile stall in Vietnam....*Drum Roll....please*
The poor duckie that went down Ken & Duc's throat. Yeeeew...
