finally getting some rest

Its been a really crazy holiday for me. NO, i did not work, did not apply for any internship, and i dont intent to. but i travelled to places. in this 2 months, I went KL, Penang, SiemReap and Phnom Penh. The trip to malaysia was for a design module about conservation and adaptive reuse. mostly learning about old straits settlement shophouses, and we had our site and site analysis in Penang. the trip to cambodia, was so far, the thoughest trip in my life. not just physically though (the steps and climbing we had to do in Angkor), but emotionally disturbing as well. the trip to Phnom Penh really opened up my eyes to many issues singaporeans do not even reg their exsistance. i was hoping to do a proper write up of my trip to siemreap and phnom penh, after i developed my photos. oh yeah, i dropped my SLR twice in this trip. first was it being swung down from my shoulders hitting the step/wall of one of the temples i had to go on all 4s to climb, and second time was when i was getting of a van in the streets of phnom penh. was thinking of developing them in either photohub or RGB on monday. then i'll spend a few days looking at those photos and recall what i felt during the time of taking those photos.
Its very late now, and i can't really write. i hope to write more about the cambodia trip again when i'm feeling better. i hope time will not distill my perplexities, emotions and the great sense of heaviness when i think about cambodia, its history and its present state.
i guess the best way to describe this country is how sydney, the main character of the movie "the killing fields" referred cambodia as a "sad little country".
good night
