Closer to paradise on Earth

As my family was driving up to the top of Bokor Mountain on a newly restored road, the only which really took my breathe away was gazing at all the beautiful exotic vegetation growing elegantly at the side of our route. Approached at a very high point of the mountain, I excitedly rushed out from the car to enjoy the senses on this tropical paradise. Massive cold white clouds was floating gently in the air through trees, people and cars and then I was completely covered in a cold but joyful whiteness for the first time of my life. The smells of salty air from the visible sea down below filled the atmosphere and the breeze continued to pass my face in tranquility. Minuted later, clouds began to disappear from my sight and left a absolutely stunning view of the sea, islands and more importantly, the mountain's forest from nearly 1 km from the sea level, under the gorgeous blue sky, flooded with bright sunshine. That moment is now buried so deeply in my memory and it is just too spectacular for me to forget.

The trip through the forest

It was very late at night and I was walking back home after school. My home was outside of town and I had to walk through the creepy old forest every day unless I wanted to spend 2 hours circling around it. As I was making my way through the forest, I felt the cold eerie wind which sent a chill down my spine. I could feel that something was definitely weird that day, the forest seemed too quiet. Then, the cold night wind came blowing through the trees and made the soft leaves rattle faintly. The thin dark branches swayed through the wind as if they were dancing in the cold night. The dancing shadows of the trees made the situation even creepier. As if things couldn't get any worse, I heard a loud screeching thunder, and it started raining! My heart beat faster than ever and I was running as fast as I could to get out of this dark and scary forest.
As I made a run for it, out of nowhere a pack of ugly, filthy wolves stopped me in my tracks. Were these grotesque hairy animals planning to eat me as their dinner? At that moment, I felt so fragile and afraid. I could feel my instincts tell me to be brave and defend myself but, I was so afraid I couldn't even stand up. I felt that all this would end in a moment as I prepared for the worst. I thought of the great memories I had shared with my family, the great times of my life and that now it is time for my life to end.
Suddenly, one of the wolves jumped and attacked me roughly and sent me flying against an old, spooky oak tree. I felt that the moment had come for my life to end as the wolf leaped again to attack me. BANG! Suddenly, the wolf was lying on the ground, dead. I saw a shadowy person holding a light but I was so tired and out of energy that fainted right at that spot.

I woke up in the morning, in the warmth of my family's small wooden house to see my mother and father. They smiled and held my hands and I closed my eyes drifting off to sleep. So, after all, it was my father who saved me last night.

Dream in my Childhood

When I was a child, I dreamed about Santa Clause once or twice. I used to wish to see Santa giving me gifts in Christmas. That time I was about only 2 or 3 years old, and I did really believe in Santa, but not now anymore.

Sometimes it's a little hard for me to recall my dreams from 9 or 10 years ago. Anyway, I'll try to recall and describe it to you as clear as possible.

In the dream, it was about 6 o'clock in the evening. I was standing behind the door of my house. I saw an old man dragging big big bags into his vehicle - which I didn't really know what it was. All i could know is that it was made out of pieces of wood, it's old but it was so steady. '' I wish I could have a ride on it sometimes'' I told myself. I stood there for such a long time, until I heard my mom called me from the distance. The man turned around and look at me fiercely. I was so scared that the man would catch me for watching what he had been doing. I started to run away from the door as quick as I could. I couldn't find anyone in my house nor my mom who had just called my name. I was so shocked and I ran out to the street. It was so cold outside, my heart was beating so fast and my cold tears were running down my cheeks. I was running so swiftly. Luckily, the old man didn't follow me up anymore and I was awaken by that time.'I stepped out of my bed and trying to find if there were people in the house. I saw my mom at first sight, I was so happy. I wish I wouldn't have the next episode of this dream again.

Anyway, sometimes I really want to go back to my childhood. That was my happiest and the most enjoyable time of my life. Being a little girl, I was so carefree. I would do whatever I like to, and my life wasn't as hard and busy as now. That's why sometimes I behave like a 3-year-old girl, and my friends say that I'm so childish. But that's okay, I got used to that '' childish '' word because sometimes it does fit me.

Comment of the Week

You all wrote some very thoughtful comments on whether we should preserve all the languages of Cambodia.  Thank you all!

This weeks "comment of the week" is from Pitou (P.2)
It made me think of language as deeper and more significant than just words.

"Despite the fact that some of them are not parts of my culture, personally, I think all those languages should be saved rather than be ignored. Each language is part of some people's culture and history, it is a part of their souls through generations.They are all priceless heritages in human's history and demonstrate something which is so amazing." -P.2


Thanks Pitou!

Could your comment be the next "comment of the week?"
