I was on a two-day trip to Kompong Som, Sihanouk Ville, with some classmate in early July. The memories still live in my head. The breezy and clear-sky morning was so understandingly inviting. On the bus, we enjoyed chatting, the comedic videos and the views along the road; especially the natural farm, mountain. What a eye-consoling view. The bus reached the land of memorizing sea at around 12 in the midday. The roaring tuk-tuk that made us burst out uproarious teenager laughter and cheer took us to the GBT Guesthouse. Oh, my! There, the sea, the tides, the waves and the breeze! After lunch we hopped and played wildly on O-chher Teal Beach with many photo-shots. The damp drizzle started to pour and we continued the play in the sea, getting hit and dragged with big waves that seemed merciless. We were enjoying convivially the play. “Here, it comes again, my friends.” cautioned Chanrun, my mate.
The
rain, then, slowed. People were still flocking the beach. Three mates have gone
far, exploring the other side of the beach; another two friends left for dinner
preparation. I was there resting on the beach, playing with the sand and waited
for the sun to came up. And, it did! From behind the mountain that could be
seen on the other side of the sea, the sun was flaunting, sending out its
magnificent shine which, when sat on the sea, flashed out a great view. I went
grabbed my camera at the nearby store we had hired and took some picture of the
view. My three mates, having half-explored the beach on one side, returned and
asked me to join them for the other side, and, well, I did. I succeeded half way and I quitted, for something—I
was struck by reflection of something. I realized that was not what I want to
do; it didn’t make me happy and I was feeling
uncomfortable, doing it. Then, I came to know of this: do something that you
real-want to do and have fun. Quit something, you realize, you don't really
like and, perhaps, make you uncomfortable, doing it. Moreover, while
walking on the beach, I noticed every step I made was wiped away by the moving
waves and every time I look down at it, I knew I had to step forward and move
on and by not trying prevent the on-the-sand steps from being wiped away from
by the waves. So, here comes the second thing: keep moving on; don't look back;
you can’t prevent it from happening. Just have fun with it and move on.
After dinner that
night, we spent the night out at a street pub and had fun with the chitchat,
photo-taking, some games and cocktails. The next morning, despite the rain, we
were managed to hit the morning with our little exploration on the
Serendipidity Beach where we were enjoying taking photos, with styles, under
the rain-turn-drizzle weather. As the morning grew more awake, we went for
Lom-hae Kay Beach and had lots of fun there; we wow-ed at the breathtaking
views there which came in as background of the photos we shot.
We turned to the
local market, had lunch there and left for Phnom Penh. That was really a
memorable experience with my classmates. Now, I do wish we could have such good
times together again.
