Pinecones for my rainy days

The end of another semester is here, and Christmas is coming. I'm moving to Sri Petaling next month. There are many changes. My friends help me pass them and push through another season. Thank you fellow singing pinecones for helping to ease the tension that comes with the end of the year, where there are so many datelines and expectations. I will never say I cannot or I don't have any abilities,or I'm tone deaf, or not musically inclined. I will continue to believe that I have what it takes to go through. We will be ok, we'll work harder and remember our parts. Christmas is the time....may the Lord use us to His glory, to bring the real message of the season.

Currently listening to: Life~ a single by YUI


as well as Rolling Star, best heard live


Both of these singles were the closing and opening of Bleach, respectively. I like her because she's fresh and she's all about the music, not the gimmicks,not the image, not the sex.

Games on the last day.
Mealtimes were such a joy because there was pork everywhere.It's the cheapest meat. Rice is the staple diet. Rice for breakfast, rice 4 lunch and rice 4 dinner. Hidup beras!




Molly is soooo happy because she doesn't have to chow down veggies.



















A shaky, almost falling apart bridge near the Kampong Speu killing field.























Teaching English class to the high schoolers.


















The Kampong Speu market where everybody shops. There are no malls or shopping centres in the provinces(Kampong=daerah in Khmer language), only in the capital Phnom Penh.





Peace! this is Pert again.















The most important thing that came out of this trip was the structure God gave to the vision He put in my head at the start of the year, when I began to have a deep desire to use my life to do something for underpriviledged children. Now I know what I want to do with my life. All I need is the courage to break with tradition and fly off.
So far I've shared my plans with Flo Lee, and the rest of the TSF leadership.
I'm going back next year, and we'll see how much of this project plan can be done.
