where is this sun you speak of?

Siem Reap to me is rich in history. Just like any other city in the world but this one is one of the places I have been to that makes me indulge into reading history books. It felt to me that it was a must to visit Siem Reap if you are wandering around Asia. Though it was a small city, having only three nights is not enough for me (at least). Sure, you can visit the temples of Angkor in one day but it is not enough to grasp everything there is to see in that compound let alone the whole city.  I arrived in Siem Reap at night and could not wait to meet my best friend and the adventure that awaits us. The tuktuk ride from the airport to the hostel felt so familiar - the crisp and fresh evening air that brushes against your face, the bragging sound of the motorcycle on a highway as if it was the only vehicle on the road, the open fields in between luxury hotels, and the smell of a bonfire on the front yard of some houses, it felt like it was home.  ...

 Dear FutureMe, Today has been a very difficult day. First of all, you cut your hair short two days ago not thinking about the effect of hot water plus humidity during summer months.

But you're just trying to not think about it rather think about the positive side that you are embracing your natural hairstyle. But of course, how you wish you can just straighten it out everyday! Apart from that, you have been thinking about going abroad to Europe and find an opportunity there. I just wish a company is willing to take you from here and to there (maybe France, Germany, Amsterdam? --oh how I wish!). I really want it. I am sure it going to be difficult and different an you do not know anyone there at all! I can just hope for good things to happen in the future. I feel stuck at GHA. My boss is not giving me the freedom to let me do what I have to do. She is very controlling about everything. This is re...

  When I was a little girl, I wandered around my village with a few of my friends on one sunny afternoon. We walked along the shore line, walked across a big canal on a narrow log bridge which connected the North and South villages, and rock climbed a big man-made wall and found ourselves victorious. We ate ice cream all the way back home. Every time I think about that day and all the other adventures I had since then, I always find myself asking where to go next. In the later months of 2017, I wanted to do backpacking around some parts of Indochina. I wanted to go to Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. I wanted to get lost in there, I wanted to see it, and there I was waiting for cheap tickets for my pre-booked annual leave in the office. I think sometimes when I see a cheap ticket, I take it as a sign to really go and visit the country. Heh. I did not prepare much at all. Except for a list of places I want to go but nothing too detailed as how do I go from point...
