whoo hoo!!!!
Whoa, ok, today was just plain crazy. I’m even happy for the fact that I couldn’t go swimming. In the beginning when I got there, there were more pplz there than I thought there would be...and that was really good. The bad thing was that my cousin couldn’t make it since she had to study for an exam. Also Ric3 couldn’t come, so it was just An1m3, me, and others. There were so many things that happened there, and we played some traditional Cambodian games.
The first one that I can remember, interrupted our volleyball game and most of the pplz headed out to the area it took place. It was almost like playing with a piñata, but instead we used these piggy banks. And when I say ‘piggy’ I mean piggy and cows. There were, I think 5 of them, and those who wanted to try were blind folded, spun, and got help from the pplz who were watching in what direction to go. The cool thing was that there was money inside of them, but I didn’t get anything when my brother got 50 cents without even trying. I played three times...and didn’t get anything since when I would hit it...it wouldn’t be strong enough. And then...there’s my brother who didn’t even play it at all...and he gets 50 cents! Oh well...
Then there was another game that included these big pebbles and everyone divided into two teams...one team for the guys and another for the ladies. It was weird, but I kind of got use to it. It was almost like bowling except each team would have three pebbles up and the other team would try to throw other pebbles to knock them down. And the team that would win got to go to the other team and did this one thing that I’m not sure of how to explain...but I just kept trying to run away from it and making excuses saying that I was only watching.
Another game was kind of like ‘duck, duck, goose’ and ‘musical chairs’ but Cambodian style. But the thing was that someone was ‘it’ and they had to walk around the circle with a towel and hide it behind someone’s back. We didn’t sit down cross legged, but we...I think the word is ‘squatted’ down. The person who was ‘it’ would walk around while the pplz who were squatted down in the circle clapped and those who knew the words to chant, chanted those words. And then who ever was it would hide the towel behind someone’s back without them knowing and just keep on walking. If they knew about it, they would have to get it and start smacking the person to their right with the towel. What that person is suppose to do is run around the circle once and sit down. Then, the person who had the towel would become it. But if the person who had the towel hid behind them didn’t know about it and the person who was currently it went around them a second time could pick up the towel and start chasing that person...also smacking them with it.
The thing with that game was that I was being chased the most. The person to my left would be picked a lot which sent me, the person on their right, running...a lot. I gad to do that 6 times, and I finally got the towel behind me once at the end of the game, and the person on my right was my friend Sona (long |o|) and I got to chase him around, hitting him with the towel. I guess the other turns paid off.
After that, I think it was tug of war. The first game, there were two captains and they chose the pplz they wanted on their teams. The second game was guys against ladies. Then there were a lot of other games after that. But the one that I remember the most was the one with me, An1m3, my brother gundam x, and KenSu (An1m3’s brother). It was funny since it was just two pplz on each side. Our brothers were both wearing red shirts and black shorts. I and An1m3 were wearing jeans, but she had on pants when I had on shorts. We both would have matched if SOMEONE called the other that they weren’t gonna wear pink. But anyways, for the first few seconds, we had the lead...then they gained strength, and they had the lead. We then got the lead again...and then...the boys let go of the rope...and we went down. It was so funny though, and I wasn’t one bit embarrassed! Yea I was really mad for the fact that they cheated, but it was only since they we about to lose. But I did end up getting my butt hurt...but yea...other than that, it was hilarious! The game continued with lots of other rounds, and other one-on-one matches and a few rematches with these two adults...that was also funny since they looked so funny pulling and laughing.
There were times in between where we played volleyball for just a bit, or went on the swings. But my favorite phrase that I said a couple of times was, “Let’s invade the baby swings!” it was only funny since it was stupid because I was the only one who would do that. I wasn’t able to fit all of the way, but I was able to sit down...but I just couldn’t put my legs through the little holes for the legs. But it was painful since my friends kept kicking my butt when they meant to kick the swing since they didn’t know how to push it correctly when it comes to pushing a teen on the swings.
I can’t remember the other things that we did, but it was really fun and crazy there. I stayed there for about 4 hours and the ride was about an hour to get there and about 45 minutes to get back. Also, an old friend, Minh, was there...one of Ric3’s cousins. Minh and I use to be really good friends, back when I was in the 6th grade and he was in the 7th, and we’ve known each other since I was in the 4th. But this year he’s changed and we barely talk to each other. And I finally asked him why he never talks to me much. His answer, “It’s because you’re a 7th grader”. I told him, “Ok, so when I was a 6th grader and you were a 7th grader...it was ok? And now that I’m a 7th grader and you’re an 8th grader...it’s not ok?” and he just said, “Yeah.” I came back to him with, “Hey...I didn’t even understand that...so you shouldn’t either!” but we kind of talked a bit more there. It was ok, but still we didn’t talk as much as we use to...and right before I left, I went on the swings and he asked me if I wanted to have a contest on who could go higher. But the bad thing was that right when it went good...I had to leave. I waited until my parents drove the car in front of the swings and I would just jump off and say my ‘good bye’ and get inside the car. And that’s what I did.
But yea...there was a lot of fun there and a lot that happened, and I know I a lot out since I can’t remember everything...but it’s still ok. I’m pooped now, so I’m gonna go. Tomorrow is a Monday, and it’s gonna be the beginning of the work week. So I’m gonna get ready for bed and I’ll catch you guys later. There better not be any homework that was suppose to be done over the weekend too, because that’ll be B/S! Hehe...I’m really gonna go now. Buh bye pplz and I’ll ttyl when I get the chance ^_^!!! Also, thanks for reading everyone!!!
