Dinner was in Khmer Saravan, a restaurant in the city - that's the rice container and the handmade wooden ladle :)

Those are Cambodia's famous traditional Sour Soup and Amok Fish dish - so delicious!

after dinner we went to Sisowath Quay which is equivalent to our Penang's Gurney Drive

Greetings from The Kingdom of Cambodia

Hello folks! I'm writing this from the lodging house - yea, there's internet connection here! :)

Cambodia is extraordinary and totally beautiful. The food is pretty good too - much to the pleasure of my Malaysian tummy :)))

As much as I enjoy being in a foreign land with amazing cultures and friendly people, the bigger part of me can't wait to be back home.


Signing off with lotsa love,
aL

Off to Cambodia!

Now, don't miss me too much okay (:

wtf

I was blog hopping and guess what! There's this blog filled with the most "wtf" word in the whole of blogosphere! Like wtf.

I mean wtf, how can she (yes, it's a she wtf) begins and ends almost each phrase with a wtf? wtf. Every single damn thing weih, wtf. If it's so cool to wtf then I should start putting it into practice - let me try...

In another blog I was viewing today, the author (it's a she as well, wtf) actually wrote the most entertaining blog post EVER wtf. You know, it's like saying something you wanna do and the next line is about how it's NOT going to happen wtf. Don't get it? wtf wait - okay, see below for the illustrations wtf...

• I shall sleep until the sun sets wtf... but usually I'll wake up automatically. wtf.
  
• I wanna go on a vacation so badly wtf but I think spending on vacations is stupid. wtf.
• I feel like taking a long hot bath wtf but it's a waste of water. wtf.
  
• I got the urge to pee wtf but no one help me wipe the favourite part of my body. wtf.
• I am so hungry wtf and I need to eat but no one is putting food into my mouth. wtf.
• I have enough clothes to last me for another 30 years wtf but I need to buy jeans! wtf.
  
• I vowed to keep this blog alive wtf but I ditched it incalculable times already. wtf.
• I love to cook but I prefer other people to do it for me. wtf.

And then in one more blog, the author spelled Venice as Venus wtf. Uranus, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto...


... yadda yadda yadda. You get me. Ask and I shall provide you with the blog urls :P

That said, I'm a very straightforward, uninhibited and irreverent bitch. But hey, I ain't somebody with lots of sympathy :)


Much love.

Sniff.

An Ideal Day at Home

At times, I feel so at ease staying home all day. Let me tell you about mine randomly and chronologically:

• Brisk walking/Jogging
• A hearty breakfast
• Newspapers with a cup of instant decaf
  
• E-mails
  
• Shower with scrubs
• Lunch with home-cooked favorite dishes by Mom
• National Geographic Channel/Animal Planet
  
• World Wide Web
  
• Laze around with a good book
• Dinner with home-cooked favorite dishes by Mom
• Do nothing
• Sleep

What about yours?

Xmas '08 and New Year '09 :)

Xmas eve at Vingie's was a blast! That's Ceddy, Vingie and yours truly :)

Chee Hsien, JJ, Minny and Sam were there too - how can we missed out a group photo! Grr...

~*~*~*~*~*~

On New Year day, Minny decided we MUST spend some time on the beach so Golden Sand's Resort it is!

Those creatures are Ceddy, JJ, Minny and Sam

The weather was just right the moment we stepped onto the beach

That's the unskilled homosapien trying to build a sand castle

Look at Scooby! He sure can pose! That is JJ's mobile on the right :)

Last but not least - the group photo! Oh yea, the seafood dinner was splendid :)))
