Back to Reality.

Being in Phnom Penh for almost a month in total was bitter-sweet. Bitter being away from everyone else and most of what you’re used to, sweet having all the freedom in the world, the weak US dollar, and actually helping out my father with his business after all his hard work over the years. There’s a positivity in them signing on for a total of 20 sites from 2 initially, and it will only grow from there. This makes all the sacrifices and the massive burn-out I’m feeling a tad better.

Freshmen Orientation Camp was just exhausting for me, having to go through the regime of sleeping a few hours every night once again, straight after Phnom Penh where the same thing transpired. It was worth it though, forging new friendships and strengthening old bonds. I actually could not wait for school to start where I would probably and hopefully have more free time.

Room’s on the 7th floor now at Block 60. I kinda miss the quiet and quaint Block 57. Now I have to climb tons of stairs to go anywhere. Oh well… Good exercise I suppose.

I hope this will be a better academic year! (:

Sometimes I wonder what’s holding back. You’re harder to read than Tolstoy, Plato & Socrates combined! And probably my circuits textbook lol. ):

Stillness is the Move

by admin • General 0

when the child was just a child
it did not know what it was
like a child it had no habits
no opinion about anything

maybe i will get a job
get a job as a waitress
maybe waiting tables in a diner
in some remote city down the highway

after all that we’ve been through
i know we’ll make it after the wait
the question is a truth
there is nothing we can’t do
i’ll see you along the way baby
the stillness is the move

on top of every mountain
there was a great longing
for another even higher mountain
in each city longing for a bigger city

after all that we’ve been through
i know that i will always love you
from now until forever baby
i can’t imagine anything better

isn’t life under the sun just a crazy dream?
isn’t life just a mirage of the world before the world?
why am i here and not over there?
where did time begin
where does space end
where do you and i begin?
