a corner of biscuits and warm tea

Recently, I went on a lengthy neighborhood stroll whilst admiring the residents' holiday lights and Christmas trees displayed in front windows . I had my headphones on and listened to a playlist of Cambodian 60s pop music-- particularly the super moody ones, some being music covers from folk songs.  Maybe it was just my hormones, but I almost bawled my eyes out as I was admiring some of the holiday lights as I was entranced by the dinner smells from the houses that I walked by. I felt a bit of sadness and joy muddled in one. Maybe what I was feeling was a piece of nostalgia from someone else's experience? Perhaps a bit of the longing feeling? A feeling of homesickness? Am I falling in love with an idea, place & time that doesn't even exist? As I was looking at the neighborhood Christmas lights, I felt like I could cry, dream and waltz at the same time! I believe this is just me with my daydreaming personality.  

To any readers who are interested and curious to experience my feelings, here's my playlist: 

Chhoen Malay- You Are Ruthless
Ros Sereysothea- Remember Still 
Sinsamouth- Permanent Treasure
Sinsamouth- Love Is Enough(Summer Kisses, Winter Tears cover)
Sinsamouth- Bopha Cheangmai
Sinsamouth- No Longing

For another option, you can just make any playlist of any dreamy music playlist, and you will get the idea. Most songs by Roy Orbison should work too! With your headphones on, find a neighborhood/ district in a beautifully decorated place, make sure to go on a walk during a peaceful hour with your headphones on.

*Please do not confuse me as a person who yearns over the past. That's not actually the case here. 


I guess I've been so caught up with my personal quiet time that I haven't been able to interact with my friends for a week-- it's time for me to message them!
