One bag travel

Im going for a short 8-day break in Cambodia with a very very very light backpack.

Things in my backpack:

Clothings
x3 T-shirts
x1 harem pants
x3 pair top undies
x6 disposable undies
x1 morning towel

Medicine
x10 gastric tablets
x10 antihistamine tablets
x10 painkiller tablets
x1 Yu Yee oil
x3 handiplast
x1 hand sanitizer

Toiletries
x1 toothbrush & toothpaste
x1 pack of wet tissue
x1 travel size (that tiny bottles) set of make up remover, moisturizer, hair wax, lotion etc
x1 travel size shower gel
x1 travel washing paste

Misc
x1 pair of scholl sandals
x1 phone charger
x1 phone
x1 colour copy of important documents
Passport, moolah

It sounds like a lot, ya? Nope! All of these takes one third of my back pack capacity.
I think altogether it is still less than 2kg.
I'm wearing a t-shirt, a pair of harem pants, nike sneakers, buff multipurpose headwear (so convenient!!) so basically heavy stuff like sneakers are put on me, not in the bag, thus will reduce the weight of my bag.
Can't wait! Rawr!

I miss you Apeng

Dear Apeng,

Its been a year and a month plus already since you are gone.
and I still feel the aches from missing you.
You are the best cat I've ever had, Apeng. Love you so much.
I know you must be happy up there in kitty's heaven,
but please know that I miss you terribly.
I still remembered when it all started.
You refused to eat and your nose looked a bit pale.
I took you to the vet, he said,
"He has got jaundice. Usually, he won't survive long".
I was so shocked when I heard that, Apeng.
How could that happened? You were an indoor cat.
Where would you get the flu from?
Apeng,
I thought you would live forever.
I thought you would be there to watch tv with me.
To curl up on my feet at night.
To play police sentry with me.
You weren't like any other cat.
You were so loving, and instead of roaming outside the house,
you'd rather sat next to me and listened to me complained about my day.
And then we'll watch tv together.
I miss you so badd :( :(
You died in my arms on the way to the third vet.
I felt like the other two didn't try hard enough.
I was not willing to give you up yet.
I tried everything to make you healthy again.
You were already so yellow and you couldn't walk the last two days.
Even to the very last day,
you waited for me to come home.
And I fed you and lied down next to you.
You would stare into my eyes and I told you many many times then
That you are the best cat ever.

 You look like you were sleeping. You were so yellow.

I love you Apeng. Till we meet again.

Thinking thoughts

her thoughts wandered; but thoughts had not wandered away from her, for they are never absent from us, they only slumber. But those that have not yet stirred come forth at their time, and begin to stir sometimes in the heart and sometimes in the head, and seem to come upon us as if from above. 


Anne Lisbeth,
Hans Andersen.


Ghostly

What if the body dies?
and all the goodness dies with it.
Will you still love the soul, so impalpable?
