The Cambodian Experience

It took guitar camp, something so significantly shorter than OCIP, to make me realise that I truly miss home. Guitar camp took me away from all you Babesies too, haha. Ohwell, we can't have everything we want in life aye?

Anyway.. OCIP.
Great learning experience.
which says a hell lot.
13 days of independence.
Hours of painting,
teaching,
constructing,
planning.
the one-of-a-kind buses,
which says it all about cambodian buses.
bitch sessions at night.
the damn funny level up game.
the forfeits that never came.
crazy tuktuks.
those clouds of dust.
lemongrass.
the late night visits to pub street.
the oh-my-buddha drink.
the friendships forged.
the millions of mozzie bites.
I miss being with everyone 24/7.

my little friends from cambodia..
rin, porn, tupid, tham, chom, hiung, kun.. not forgetting little leilo [who we called Lilo] & her brother, leiyap. I think Leiyap stole a piece of my heart, he's just too shy & cute. =) there are just too many of them, too many memories to remember them all clearly.

I don't wanna forget any moment in those 13 days, not even one split second. They're all equally precious to me. I don't wanna forget, yet I know I will. I wish I could just bottle all my memories up & seal them away somewhere so that in the future, I can view them & get all nostalgic about my youth. This is one of the life-changing things that has happened in my life, which opened my eyes to everything around me.

I really miss Cambodia. Please, oh please let me rmb the people, the culture, the fun I've had there. For as long as possible, anw. Please let me have a chance to return there next year? Sanks you. I need photos. Asap.

Random: I hate being fickle-minded. Can I just settle on ONE alphabet? :( Errrr.. some of you know what I mean. It's so obvious. And I think Switchfoot's 24 reflects my current mood quite well..

Cambodian Dictionary:
Tahp mui: give me a kiss or can I kiss you once [both ways work just fine when you tell the kids that, wahaha] [heyhey, tall! learn this! ;)]
Or koon: thanks [or 'sanks you' in the cambodian accent, hahaha!]
cho mo ai: what is your name?
And lots more! Haha. Okayokay. I really missed the Babes while at the guitar camp.. See y'all soon, I hope! Heh.

<3,
Just B.
