• When someone lies to you, it teaches you that things are not always what they seem. The truth is often far beneath the surface. Look beyond the masks people wear if you want to know what is in their hearts. Remove your own masks to let people know who you really are.
   
• When someone steals from you it teaches you that nothing is forever. Always appreciate what you have. You never know when you might lose it. Never take your friends or family for granted, because today and sometimes only this very moment is the only guarantee you may have.
   
• When someone inflicts injury upon you, it teaches you that the human state is a very fragile one. Protect and take care of your body as best as you can, it’s the one thing that you are sure to have forever.
   
• When someone mocks you, it teaches you that no two people are alike. When you encounter people who are different from you, do not judge them by how they look or act, instead base it on the contents of what is in their hearts.
   
• When someone breaks your heart, it teaches you that loving someone does not always mean that the person will love you back. But don’t turn your back on love, because when you find the right person, the joy that one person brings you will make up for all of your past hurts. Times a thousand fold.
   
• When someone holds a grudge against you, it teaches you that everyone makes mistakes. When you are wronged, the most virtuous thing you can do is forgive the offender without pretense. Forgiving those who have hurt us is often the most difficult and painful of life’s experiences, but it is also the most courageous thing a person can do.
   
• When a loved one is unfaithful to you, it teaches you that resisting temptation is man’s greatest challenge. Be vigilant in your resistance against all temptations. By doing so, you will be rewarded with an enduring sense of satisfaction far greater than the temporary pleasure by which you were tempted.
   
• When someone cheats you, it teaches you that greed is the root of all evil. Aspire to make your dreams come true, no matter how lofty they may be. Do not feel guilty about your success, but never let an obsession with achieving your goals lead you to engage in malevolent activities.
   
• When someone ridicules you, it teaches you that nobody is perfect. Accept people for their merits and be tolerant of their flaws. Do not ever reject someone for imperfections over which they have no control.
   
• When someone loves us, it teaches us love, kindness, charity, honesty, humility, forgiveness, acceptance, and all of these can counteract all the evil in the world. For every good deed, there is one evil deed. Man alone has the power to control the balance between good and evil, but because the lessons of love are not taught often enough, the power is too often abused.
   
• When you enter someone’s life, whether by plan, chance or coincidence, consider what your lesson will be. Will you teach love or a harsh lesson of reality? When you die, will your life have resulted in more loving or more hurting? More comfort or more pain? More joy or more sadness? Each one of us has the power over the balance of the love in the world.

back from Cambodia.
tired out, aching legs, but enjoyed.

Tonle Sap Lake, Kbal Spean, Banteay Srey, Ta Prohm (the one with the big tree), the Landmine Museum, Angkor Wat, Bayon, Angkor Thom, in that order as far as i remember.

in the process, we

- spoke in mandarin among ourselves. till we discovered that the cambodians could understand it, then we switched to hokkien/cantonese/teochew.
- climbed a mountain hill wearing ponchos in the rain, slipping and sliding on the muddy trails, had slipper mishaps and perspired buckets
- ate crocodile and ostrich meat.
- sang screamed a birthday song for PPK in the hotel lift
- climbed up and down the temples
- climbed up and down the temples
- climbed up and down the temples

climbing was scary but fun tho we kinda developed a phobia of staircases after that. heh. the legs were really quite nua.

Angkor Wat is huge, the temples were amazing, and it's awesome how the pple back then managed to build such structures and carve such intricate designs into stone.
really wonder how it was like when these places were fully functional.
it must have been quite magnificent, considering how it is even now.

great trip!
