Life According to Ping ...

December 30, 2004

Drafted this out quite a while ago. Blogger tells me its Dec 30 2004. Yet somehow I never did finish this entry. And Jan 11 2005, I should attempt to finish it.

Cambodia? Im glad I was there. Im glad I got out of there
Like how Lester put it, when we are on an exchange, we merely pause our life. And now, the play button is pressed once again. And the best part, it din feel weird to be back. Oki, it did for a while. And suddenly Im snapped back into my routine. My ridiculous online records, my refusal to stay at home still though I thought I had changed. And Singapore is pretty much the same as how I left it.

And I often wonder why do I not want to stay home? Because I have to wear socks around the house to conceal my scar. Dont have the guts and energy to face up to them yet. We see how long I can wear bedroom slippers around the house. We see. And I dont think that is the reason why I aint home.

Cambodia was unique. Irregular tourist destination. Yet it be something placed into a folder of my memories. And did I mention that I have a problem remembering things. Dont know why. Kuala Lumpur is the same.

I tried to upload some exchange pictures into this blog. But the thing is, each picture would be a post. I dont want that. I want a post with many pictures. Tell me how to do it.

This is a fucking disjoint entry. Cant explain it. But least its posted.

I love Chiang Mai

The cool weather, the apparent non-tourist trek we took up, the one night in the freezing cold mountains, the massage course ( Hell yes, I took a day course on Thai Massage), the untraditional kway tiao breakfast, the free pool game that comes with a chang/tiger beer, the walk and eat feel of the whole place.

And Cambodia here I come tomorrow.

Definitely a big difference from Chiang Mai, I just pray that I have enough dollars to last me for the trip.

And we were talking about this whole exchange program. Indeed, never had I went thru so much emotions in 4 months before, and pain ( literally ).

Its finally over. And I really rather have a non-exciting sabye sabye life.
