13 years after.

have i told you? my first and the last time playing volleyball was during primary school.
i hated it 'cos it's so painful. but come to think of it, i know why i hated the pain so much-----
the smart me actually played volleyball right after the day i took my taekwondo exam, which i accidentally got kicked at the index finger by the kid behind me. so when the ball hit my hand, it got so painful and since then i hated it a lot and i quit playing volleyball.

and after 13 years, i played volleyball yesterday and the feeling was totally different.
i actually like the pain. LOL
and now my hands are all bruised and painful.
liking it though. =D
of course, it's so awesome to sweat all over =D

september awesomeness

and so......
wonder why i didn't update my blog at all?
i was too busy =D

from classes, to night photoshoot outings, to shoppings, paramedic cases, appreciation dinner, etc.
and RUN MOSCOW!!!

it's happening!! yuppp it is.

by the way, Run Moscow was awesome!!!!!!
didn't run much though, was busy taking pictures with arep. LOL
and check out the free shirt i was wearing! =D

to a dear friend of mine, David.

hmm honestly, i don't know where i should start from. and i don't know how to tell you about it.
what i'm gonna jot down, it's all from the bottom of my heart.
i know this has been too long, but since i know you'll be reading my blog, i guess i should tell you this before i return to moscow for my studies. and this, would probably be the best way to tell you about it.

thank you for the wonderful hospitality that you and your friends had provided during our stay.
thank you for bringing us around for sightseeing and being our translator around the clock.
and most importantly, thank you for all the wonderful memories.

sorry i might have rejected you in the most cruel way. i'm not good with words.
of course i heard what you've said to me, everything.
i feel touched though, of what you've done. especially the night where you hold my hand under the rain, protecting me from slipping off on the muddy road, knowingly am afraid of the dark.
the sense of security, no other guys have given it to me before.
i felt the same way as how you felt too.

but as we all are mature enough to know that, it's impossible. even the distance speaks for it. and we barely know each other, it's just merely infatuation. it's only that 8 days we got to know each other.
i couldn't find anyway better to tell you this. sorry.

it was God who put us together and get us to know each other. it's not coincidence that bring us together.
hope our friendship will be a lasting one. hoping to see you and the rest in the near future. hoping to see Sian Sian too.

love and light, God bless.

busy having fun.

and i'm too busy to upload the photos that i've promised to upload. will upload some day or may be you can just jump over to my facebook to have a look.

been busy buying stuff and busy packing.

i'm flying off to TAIWAN tomorrow!!!!

weeee~~~~~

hmm...a busy holiday for the busy monkey =D

am satisfied =)

jealous? =P

cambodia awesomeness

just got back from Cambodia a few days ago. still missing my Cambodian family.
awesome hospitality. awesome people.
they never failed to smile, even in such a harsh condition.
they taught me how to be contented easily.
it's so true that if you're on a right mission at a right country, instead of being a blessing to the people, you are blessed more by them.

it was a wonderful and pleasant trip, i don't know where to start telling my stories.
full of emotions.
pictures captured were wonderful. Cambodians will never shy away from my camera.
and i didn't know, not until now that camera can be a tool for bonding between two strangers.
i've never liked dealing with kids but now i've learnt how to.

ask me which part of the trip i hated most, it would be at the airport where we have to part ways. everyone tried to hold back tears. we know we just couldn't bear to leave each other.
no one knows when is the next time we gonna meet each other. in 1 year? or another 10 years?

the experiences i've got.
from clerking patients, playing with kids, experiencing village life in which electricity and water as the greatest obstacles, 19 people stuffed on a pick up truck, learning khmer language, the numbers of exotic food i've tried, witnessing the procedure of killing a cow, etc.
the best part is the laughters we shared.
language barrier is just a small problem in this trip, there are tons of ways to bond with each another as long as you have the heart to do so.

this trip totally changed my life. it shows me how fortunate i am.
and it also shows me, though it's only a lil' that i can do for them, but if i have the heart to do so, people will still be happy. a tiny help can make a difference.

                          

a picture speaks a thousand words. will try to upload some of the best photos i've taken. soon.

p.s. i just remembered i freaking forgot to bring a stone back for my collection!!!! argghh!
