cambodia in 5 days.
i'm so excited i don't know what to do with myself.

i just talked about cambodia to my student for like 40 minutes and showed him lots of pictures.
i can't wait to get my camera on sunday and make a cambo trip video while i visit all the places our team went to, like...

"KL," our team's favorite restaurant in sihanoukville.

hopefully my good memory won't fail me and i can find it.

hopefully, it really is called "KL," or at least the restaurant name's initials are "KL."

*note: look at frank's and my expression. 

he was showing me the fungus in that little pepper (?) sidedish thing

and life university, where we did our ministry for 3 weeks

and then eat....

DURIAN, the "god of all fruits"

don't judge a fruit by its smell. that's all i gotta say.

i wasn't gonna update my blog until i got my camera back, but it's been too long. i hate having a huge gap of no updates, even if people aren't waiting for it. haha


i just vchatted with jeanne, who just boarded the plane to go back to amurrica. so lucky. everyone is leaving me. but i'm so thankful God's blessed me with the opportunity to go to cambo. can't believe it's actually happening. i remember thinking halfway through this korea trip, "oh well, i guess i'm not going." it wasn't a surprise because it seemed too good to be true. i always plan something out of the ordinary and doubt 75% of the time that it's going to happen. that's a bad mentality, i know.

ok i'm now at jihoon's house tutoring. how am i online, you ask?
he's writing 2 examples of this structure:

article + noun + adverb + past tense verb + preposition + article + noun + to + verb + etc.


he gasped so hard, after i wrote all this on the board and showed it to him, that he choked and coughed LOL

[continuing... ]
sometimes, i get disappointed in myself that i have such a lack of faith -- in myself and in God. i learn a lesson and forget it later, resulting in doubt all over again. it's such an ugly thing to possess, and i'm slowly trying to overcome it with self-reminders.
so lesson to learn (yet again)?
if it's God's will, it's going to happen in His perfect time. 

cambodia is happening at a perfect time. it's smack in the middle of the 3 weeks my friends are gone, it's at a convenient part of the week where it's easy for me to reschedule all of my tutor sessions, it's when sheldon will be in cambodia, it's when the natives i want to visit are free...

i don't deserve this at all.
how freaking mindblowing it is to have a Father who infinitely loves us and never condemns us, even though we deserve the worst of the worst.

i hope one day, all of cambodia will know of this love.
(oh, and korea, too. they need to stop with all this plastic surgery business. it's seriously nuts.)
