I'm actually back from Cambodia for quite some time, a week ago, to be exact.
I keep putting off blogging about it because I still am pretty confused over my thoughts and feelings about the trip.

I don't wanna write everything since most of you already knew most of it.
Just that I do appreciate my life and am grateful that I'm able to receive education so easily.
I wouldn't say Cambodia is very backward but it has also been an eye-opening experience for me in many ways.
Dealing with myself, hypocritical people, adapting to a different environment and cultural sensitivity.
I hope I did achieve positive growth. If not a lot, at least a little.

It's a new year once again.
Reflecting on the past year, the first 6 months were virtually unproductive.
And the final half, I admit I do have some regrets.

My New Year Resolutions
- Build up relationship with my parents and friends
- Work harder to achieve better academic results
- Be a happier person
- Reduce monetary output; increase monetary input
- Pick up more useful skills

Christmas 2004 was really sad.
It proves the point that only in dire straits do you see who exactly are your true friends.

I wasn't in the right mood to welcome the new year.
And I still can't accept why others can so joyously celebrate while somewhere so close to home, the situation is so bleak.

Singapore is very lucky. Yes, we are indeed really lucky geographically.
Without the neighbouring countries to bear the brunt of the tsunami effects, our puny sunny island may have been drowning in sorrow.
Thus for me, I see the celebrations as an expense of other's misery.
