IF YA CANT TAKE DA HEAT............find friends with aircon...

according to the thermometer, it is currently 34 degrees outside.

that means its closer to 38 inside. oh, and did i mention the sun went down 2.5 hrs ago?

i actually dont feel that hot. i dont really even notice it much anymore actually. i think i can thank running mid-day in singapore for a year for that.

my skin on the other hand is protesting loudly. since this morning, it has decided to break itself into a heat rash that is currently covering my ENTIRE BODY. its incredibly attractive and comfortable.

maybe i should have gone to that halloween party tonight.

[so just in case you were worried things were getting too glamourous....haha]

other updates:
jen is in angkor wat with her parents this weekend [and, get this, NEARLY FORGOT HER CAMERA when she left this morning....gasp!shock!horror!.....lol.]

tomorrow is a fundraiser, pumpkin-carving bash for a group of street kids our friends work with....50 kids with knives, should be interesting, haha....nah, its going to be a fun afternoon, its raising funds for a street dancing organization that just recently got up and running, providing street kids with a positive creative outlet....its been going awesomely, so i cant wait to see these kids do their thing,

tuesday is the 'adult' halloween fundraiser ball, that one raising funds for a couple of other projects [haha sry, i'm losing track].

the 31st is also King Sihanouk's Birthday so phnom penh is about to turn into one crazy town as it is also the start of the water festival. apparently what looks to be the entire country crowds into the streets of phnom penh to watch the dragon boat races and all traffic stops for the 4 days or so that is lasts. all i know is that all of our khmer friends are excited and all our barahng [foreign] friends are gettin the heck out of dawson....its going to be an interesting week haha.

funny though, I keep forgetting this is the 'KINGDOM' of cambodia....

but i must STOP WASTING TIME.

miss you all muchly. other than this, we're all safe and sound....actually got passed by three different monks while riding a motodop today so if thats any indication of us taking care, i dont know what is.

would love to hear from you, feel free to leave messages/comments/curses/blessings.

love. el.
