Haha i didn't know that i hadn't blog for close to 2 months now. Frankly speaking, i really thought i had blogged before but guess it must be that i m hallucinating or something..
Just a few updates. Firstly, my regular foreign escapade. (See, that's why i can't believe i actually forgot to blog about that). Went to Cambodia last month and was pretty much recharged. I must say that its absolutely chaotic and polluted in the capital city of Phnom Penh so its not really an ideal getaway location but the serenity of the Khmer Angkor remains in Siem Reap are a complete opposite. Haha compared to the cathedrals of Europe and the temples of Japan, one definitely has to work harder to savour it but looking back now, it was really quite an amazing experience ^-^ But i guessed it was helped by our strong currency that i was able to get a good hotel and therefore was able to laze around after sunset, surfing the numerous channels available on TV, soaking in the bathtub x1 hour and bouncing on the King size bed, all to myself. Felt really refreshed after the trip =) Took quite a lot of pictures of the grand remains but i guess a big part of emotions of this trip lies in those which cannot be taken. If Siem Reap was a reflection of Cambodia's past glories, then Phnom Penh would be an indication of the misfortune of its people and the bad timing of the occurrence. The secret prison and the killing fields now lies quiet but its eerie calmness tells the stories of the genocide regime where the country lost one generation of its best talents through reasons nobody can explained. The skulls in the pagoda and the photos in the museum made me shudder as i realised that they all belonged to people who had previosly lived and walked the land but whose lives were cruelly ended. And for all these to happen during the age of technological explosion, the Cambodian people now have to work doubly hard to make up for lost time and i think it will at least be a decade more or so before that can happen. Images of my Sec 2 literature text came back to me. The Cambodias are a bunch of happy people but it does really feel sad when u realised what they had gone through.
Anyway, will be going back to serve the nation in a couple of months time. Time really flies and much had changed. (To think i can still remember the time when i was saying 3 years to gorge and 5 years to condition. Ha its now 4 years and 10 months and i had yet to condition :p) Oh well, hopefully, i can become fitter (and maybe leaner, instead of the swollen face now)
On a last front, i guess some of u would have known what's going on. I am still trying hard and although i know the prospects may not seem that good, guess i will just keep plugging away. I mean this is keeping up with the usual pattern of happenings in my life. Things seem to be going well now and so its seems just like a nice time for this thing to pop up and make me go into disarray again. But i had learnt my lessons from previously, so i will just keep my spirits up and prevent myself from going too overboard to have all those things come back again. I must say, its really been a long time since i suffered a very heavy loss on the mj table already lor...
