One Last Week

Time is really really running faster lately!

I can't believe I only get one week left in Cambodia. Felt like yesterday when I arrived at Phnom Penh, alone and lost coz no one forgot to pick me up at the airport. Drove around for $7 (freaking expensive! damn tuk2 driver!!) from airport to the city. Went to Top Banana only to step in for 5 minutes and left totally freak out coz I saw drunk group of men laying around at the lobby with weed and bottles of boozes laying around on the floor. At that time I thought "DAMN!!! I SCARED!"

One week.. Two week.. I'm getting used Cambodia. Yeah.. though if I said Cambodia, I mean the village-out-of-civilization where I stayed all this time (let's called it Sre Ampil) and PP. And now, one week left from departure, I feel kinda happy/sad. Happy coz finally I could face my defense! (abnormal, I know!). Whatever the case, I learned many many things here.

I killed my fear against insect.
I dreamed to go to dangerous places.
I learned how to be a meannie to people who want me to ~ yesh... neorago!
I fell from Motorcycle ~ actually thrown away from motorcycle
I got wounded and bruises and off course mosquitoes bites!
I was punched, body slammed, suffocated, restrained, burned~~ what actually I'm doing in Cambodia????

But... One thing for sure, it made me a stronger than ever person!

THANK YOU CAMBODIA!!

PS: Your food makes me fatter as well! :|

The MoonLight - Introduction

Realizing that I am not a very consistent and easily distracted person, it is indeed so hard for me to continue writing the blog in daily or weekly basis. And seeing that my previous entry had been deleted purely by my stupidity, I just think it is a sign for me to start creating a new line of my thoughts.

First thing first,
I am no longer in Holland. Not like I am being kicked out from the country because I was doing some drunk and disorderly, but it's more like I was being called by other country that are closer to home and probably need me more than Holland. (Off course I couldn't ignore the fact that I need to run away from Holland because of my own complicated life).

However.... YESH! I am in Cambodia at the moment. A simple geographical background, Cambodia is an ASIAN country and NO it is not located somewhere in Africa. It's a really exotic country with some black stain in it. Let's see... child prostitution, they have it here. Land Mines? There is a museum for it. Body guard with gun? Everywhere. Yesh! Very interesting country indeed.

SO... what exactly am I doing in Cambodia? I am working as an intern in a solar company called Kamworks. My work focus mainly on the business scheme for their product called MoonLight. A round solar power lantern that can be carried everywhere.

The target of the product is most Cambodian who is still living under the poverty level, untouched by the power grid, and use kerosene lamp as their source of lighting during the night. The idea is MoonLight could replace the kerosene since they are bad guy! They burn houses, choke people with their smell, and the light is bad. SO... MoonLight is trying to be a hero here by trying to kill the lamp and replacing them.

I am so proud that I could be part of the MoonLight nobility. Just like Alfred serves Batman, I wish I could serve MoonLight and make them the Hero of the Night!

VIVA MOONLIGHT!!!!
