I've been watching too many war flicks. But I realised, I don't like watching violence all too much, especially when it's needless violence used for the shock factor. Featuring someone bludgeoning an enemy soldier to death with a baseball bat is just one of those. Was that even really necessary. A gun would have achieved the same end purpose. But of course this is war, and in war, hatred and violence are the driving motives.

It's always nice to see love taking over now and then. Perrier LaPadite turn over the Jews he was sheltering in his house to the Germans in Inglourious Basterds will probably haunt me for a long time. His tears hinted at his horror of what he had done. But his love for his daughters nudged him to work with the Germans, to obtain protection for them. Maybe it's just my imagination, projecting what I want to believe to be the truth onto the show. But I genuinely believe thats what the show wanted to portray.

German's the first module in a long long time that I've taken that requires hardcore mugging. I think I forgot how to memorize and hardcore mug. Godbless my headache.  Peace.

FUCKING HORRIBLE ENGLISH When I was younger, my mind was made up that if my parents divorced, I would follow my mom. Now that I am older, I see so much my dad's been through, and all I want him to know is that no matter what happens I'm here for him. To me, my dad's like God. Nothing can be too difficult for him. Seeing him so affected by everything that's happened (vague but I can't describe anything either because there are so many legal implications) makes me really upset. There's nothing much I can do except be his listening ear now and then, be his errands boy, and support all his decisions. I think it's rather upsetting that my mom is being so unsupportive. I'm really tired going back and forth the hospital. Will things get better from now? ): We get older, we see more of the ugly realities of life. I used to think that this life is mine. I make my own decisions, and I would go to any lengths to get what I want, disregarding what others ...

Really?

It's been almost 5 months since the trip to Cambodia, but, it doesn't nearly feel as long as that. It's probably cheesy to say that it's changed me for life, but I think that it has. Everytime I receive an email related to the orphange in Cambodia, I tend to reminisce about the whole experience there. It's almost awesomely weird that I can get so attached to people I've talked to, spent time with for only a few days. I guess, there's a sense of genuiness in what they say. No lies, no cover-ups. Getting through the initial awkwardness of shyness, of inhibition, makes it all the more fulfilling maybe. That Vimol and Sok Heng treated me as a friend, talked to me as friend to friend despite being strangers at the start of the day and despite the relative language barriers warms my heart. That Titu and Narin help out in every way that they can with all the smiles and laughter, makes me feel like I should be cheerful and happy 24/7. But I guess, realising that...
