I AM CONNECTED!

I am finally back to the internet world! Blogging in my own private space without swearing gamers and excited kids yelling at their computer screen!Besides that, all the option that cafe put that limits my viewing of certain sites that need me to download PDF files and even word document. This can be rather frusfrating!

Living without internet for almost a year! And wow..a year has passed, a very eventful one! Missed chatting with friends online, my way to keep in touch with most ppl and ah..so many other things that i can do.

21st AUGUST 2007

I AM FINALLY CONNECTED AGAIN!!!!

WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Candles of Hope

Havent made these for quite a long time. These were selling like hot-cakes back in my secondary school for the school's Fund raising festival. I have almost forgotten the 'Do's and 'Dont's' in the process of making these star-shaped candles. For instance, 'do not freeze it too long in the freezer or the ends will break', using the correct raw material or the result and colours would be different and others. So, after two long weeks, i have only managed to produce 15 perfect ones excluding the broken and distorted ones plus juggling with my job. Very tiring indeed. However, its very nostalgic, flashback from secondary school time when we have to produce about 200 over candles that comes in a few other shapes beside these. We have more people doing it together and also enough tools to help speed up the candle making process. Hahaha... What i have here in KL is just two pots to support the mold and one- man show.

Well, its all for the good cause. Thank you for those for have bought these candles during the Mini 6-Hour Famine Camp in Encore Music. The profit from these candles will be donated to the World Vision Fund to help children in starvation and poverty around the world.

结束了。。

终 于 找 到 勇 气 结 束 事 情,想 说 的 终 于 说 出来了。。
心 有 点 不 舍 得,
或 者,不敢 面 对 未 来 的 变 换

没关系了,其实早都应 该 结 束了吧。。
拖 累 那 么 久,只 因 为 在 等 待 适 合 的 时 机

接下來 的 路﹐

我要跟多加油﹗﹗ ﹕)

Tuesday, June 05, 2007

得到自由。。接下 来 呢?

终 于 得 到 自 由 了,得 到 机 会 退 出 了。。
但 是, 突 然 觉 得 好 害 怕。。
说 不 出 口 的 害 怕
我 干 吗 要 害 怕?还 是 害 怕 什 么?
可 是, 心 里 还 是 觉 得 好 象 快 要 失 去 一 些 东 西,不 舍 得 情 绪。。

是 因 为 朋 友 吗?
可 以 聊 天 的 同人
幽 默 的 客 人?
金 钱 ?

是 不 是 因 为 可 以 见 到 他 一 面 的 机 会 快 要 消 失 了?
算 了 吧,反 正 已 经 过 了 半 年 时 间 在 那 儿。。
这 种 借 口 真 是 太 傻 和 无 聊 啦!
到 最 后 都 是 自 己 辛 苦 而 已, 让 日夜 变 得 没有 意 思,
如 果 真 的 有 缘,未 来 将 会 遇 见。。

不然是因为 未来将会有的空间?
不用去上班的早上?!只剩下晚上的工作?

好烦 啊!!不用做也烦,要做跟加烦!

好胡乱的一个脑 袋!杀 死我吧

这 几句话一直在我脑海里,不停的在绕

“拿的起,放的下”
”说了, 就要做“

保护色

This song comes from KO One soundtrack, one of the Taiwan drama am watching. Lyrics that speaks the heart someone who have to watch someone he adores with another..

Sometimes, when you like someone, that special someone falls for some else or someone else took a step before you to express their feelings to that special someone you know. At the end, you can only lie to yourself, or perhaps protect yourself by giving your blessing to them. Be their good friend and console when that special someone is sad. Basically, just swallowing your own feelings for the happiness of others...

Hmm..just an attempt on translation. Some words might not be exact...just what I understand :P

Beware...hahha


想对你说的 让他先说了
从此只能猜测
你流泪是因为快乐

What I wanted to tell you,
He had spoken it ahead of me,
Since then,I can only guess,
That your tears are out of happiness


想要给你的 他先给你了
从此只能负荷
寂寞和爱本来能分隔

What I wanted to give you,
He had given you ahead of me,
Since then,
I can only heal

祝福你是我的保护色
专心扮演朋友的角色
在你们拥抱的那一刻
我心一分为二

Giving you my blessing is just my self-protecting image,
Acting whole heartedly as your best friend,
But when you are in his arms,
My heart broke into two


欺骗你是我的保护色
甘心做个爱情的弱者
真爱不是就能逃得远远的
等待是我职责

LYing to you is my self-protecting image,
Became a weak fool in love willingly,
Real love is hard to escape
Waiting for you is my own responsibility


路越走越曲折 不能回头了
能伤害我的 都是我爱的
还保护什么 还保护什么

The road I chose is getting further from you,
To the point of no return,
only the one I love cAn hurt me,
In the end, What am I protecting anymore?

祝福你是我的保护色
专心扮演朋友的角色
在你们拥抱的那一刻
我心一分为二

欺骗你是我的保护色
甘心做个爱情的弱者
真爱不是就能逃得远远的
等待是我职责 爱你是天责

Black Magic Lurks in This Form 2

Here are some of the things to look out for people :


1. Usually you would not be instructed to keep it a secret about
buying anything, unless magic is involved.

2. It is untrue that other people apart from the owner cannot
touch blessed items. People that you are comfortable with can handle the
blessed items. Of course, it is not a good idea to let strangers or
anybody who you are not comfortable with to touch any of your
closely held items.

3. It is quite common for people to ask what year you are born in
when you are selecting items to suit your animal sign. If it is only to
deal with Chinese animal signs, they do not need to ask for your birth
month.
If your birth month is requested for, you can always ask which
theories they are following. For example, when selecting crystals
and minerals according to astrology, we will need to know what is
the birth month and day.

4. Do not buy closely held items or jewelry from non-creditable
people, shops or organizations.

5. Many people may have the misconception that black magic can
only be cast on them if their eight characters (birth year, month, day
and
time) are known. Eight characters are not necessary to cast black
magic on a specific person.

I have shared this true account as a caution to all that it is
important to exercise care when buying items, especially closely held
items. It is important to know whom you are buying from, where you are
buying from and what you are buying. Do not take things too lightly;
else there may be much to lose.

Black Magic Lurks in This Form

Yesterday, I received a shocking e-mail from my mother. A forwarded story on how black magic lurks around. This could be just another precaution story to some, but it is shocking to me because I had a similar experience like this back in January. I have never spoken to anyone bout it except to Ee Von. Luckilly, Von asked me to returned the object to the Earth and not keep it. Anyway, do read the story below by another person:


*****************************************
Hi friends,

It is the mid-year school holiday , which is one of the peak traveling periods for
many Singaporeans. This is a true account that I would like to
share as a cautionary tale. I have changed the names of people
involved to protect their identities. Although it takes place on
an overseas vacation, the warning applies equally whether abroad
or at home.

Jessie was in her early thirties and like many of us loved to
travel and her last trip was to Taiwan . While visiting one of
the tourist attractions in Taiwan located near a temple, she decided to get
a souvenir for herself.

She walked along the shops with curious eyes. A well-dressed sales
man managed to catch her attention. He asked her what year she was
born. She answered politely. He further pursued to ask her the
month she was born.
"June," she replied. As she answered, there was a sparkle in the
man's eye. He quickly pulled out an item and put it in Jessie's
hand and she looked at it closely.
It was a small-sculpted stone, but Jessie could not make out what
the item was. The man, with a serious tone told her that this
small ornament was a very powerful item that could grant all her
wishes, but she was not to tell anybody, not even her closest
friends, boyfriend or parents that she had this ornament in her
possession. He informed her to bring this item wherever she went
and not to allow anybody to touch it. Jessie was thrilled and
thought she had stumbled upon a great deal as the item seemed very
precious. She asked for the price and paid for the item.

Vacations like always were too short and she returned to Singapore
.
On the day that she returned, she felt very exhausted as if the
life was draining out of her. She thought that it was due to the
traveling and excitement and did not bother too much about it. She
went to take a nap and as she rested, she started to feel an ache
in her stomach that grew into a continuous sharp pain. By
nightfall, the suffering was so intense that she went hysterical.

She crawled to the altar in her home and started to hit her head
against the altar. Her parents were shocked with her actions. Her
father held her tightly, to prevent her injuring herself while her
mother called for an ambulance. Strangely enough, in the midst of
all the pain and before she left with the ambulance, Jessie
insisted that she had to bring along her handbag before leaving for
the hospital. When she was sent to the hospital, it was already
dawn and she was sent for different tests and scans to determine
the cause of her pain. The sharp pain persisted and even got more
intense. Her Aunt Maggie heard the news that she was hospitalized and
came to visit her. While Aunt Maggie was with her, Jessie thought
about letting her employers know of her condition and hoped Aunt
Maggie could contact them on her behalf.

She took out her handbag and pulled out a pen to write the number
on a piece of paper. As she pulled out the pen, the small
ornament, which Jessie had bought from Taiwan , dropped on the
floor. Aunt Maggie wanted to pick it up but Jessie stopped her. She
said if Aunt Maggie were to touch it, she would have to have it
cleansed. While Jessie was not looking, Aunt Maggie quickly picked
the ornament up and kept it.
When Aunt
Maggie was out in the hallway, she scrutinized it. The ornament
sent shivers down her spine and she was very uncomfortable with the
item so she decided to talk to Jessie's mother.

On the third day, the doctors informed Jessie's parents that they
had confirmed that Jessie suffered from stomach cancer that had
reached
the terminal stage and they had to prepare for the worst. Jessie's
parents were not able to understand this sudden diagnosis, as
Jessie had not had any symptoms of stomach cancer. When Aunt Maggie
went to the hospital and met with Jessie's mother, Jessie's mother
broke the news to Aunt Maggie.
Aunt Maggie was shocked and also shared her discovery of the
ornament with Jessie 's mother. Jessie's mother also had an uneasy
feeling when she saw the ornament. She felt very lost and desperate
about her daughter's situation.

Jessie's mother and Aunt Maggie both knew of a medium; Master Lim
and it struck both of them that he might shed some light as to the
events.
Aunt Maggie quickly called to arrange to meet Master Lim. When they
visited Master Lim, they showed the ornament to Master Lim. At one
glance, he told them that Jessie's life had been swapped with that
of another girl who was probably suffering from stomach cancer and
was dying. The ornament was an object to hold black magic, which
would suck the life out of Jessie.
Both Jessie's mother and Aunt Maggie queried whether there was
anything that could be done. He replied that it was too late as the
black magic cast was very powerful and the ornament had been
discovered too late. The black magic was targeted with certain
criteria: The victim had to be a girl who was born in a specific
year and month. The black magic would lose its power if other
people apart from Jessie touched it. However, in Jessie's case the
black magic had already taken full effect and had become
uncontrollable.
Thus, only direct family members were to be allowed to visit her
and even to send her off at her wake. The strange ornament was left
at the temple to be handled and disposed of appropriately.

Silently, and with great pain, Jessie passed away by the seventh day on
her return from her vacation.
******************************************

So readers, beware. Before signing off, much condolences to Jessie's family.

好闷的一天

有 时 候,我会觉 得我的生 活有点无 聊

May the 16th

Today, Little Sonia walked in from the glass door as usual on Wednesday. In her tiny fingers, she held a red present. Then, her Mama says 'Pass it to teacher'. Next, she hold up the present to me and says 'Happy Teacher's Day'. My jaw just dropped open. Hahahhaha. What an embarrassing facial expression but I thanked her.


Guess what? I forgotten today is 16th May, or at least this one day that we always look forward to in Primary School and Secondary School. Teacher's Day. As for me, its more in Primary school, I love my teachers in school. I will always go around Fajar Supermarket hunting down for the perfect gift for my teachers. I remember Cikgu Lily from 1 Melur and a few others which I will present a gift to them. Somehow, as I went to Secondary School, the excitement is not as much anymore. Maybe I don't like the teachers in my school very much. Only a few of them which really taught with their heart. Others merely come to school and read the textbook to us. How lame! No offence, but that's what I felt during those years. Teacher's day was spent performing for them and its a day where no classes are conducted! :)

After I left Form 5, into Form 6 and University years. This day has not been very significant.

This doesn't mean teachers are not important in my life. They are one of the most influential people in my life. I truly thank them and appreciate it. My music teachers, my Monash lecturers, my wushu teacher and a few of my school teachers. Thank you for the wonderful experience you gave me.

Today, I cant believe I am receiving a Teacher's Day present from my student.

Shocked.

Forgotten feelings flash back. Those from the schooling years.

Cant believe I am a Teacher.

Still cant believe.

To me, I just love music.

I want to share what i love with others.

Ah,

S-H-O-C-K and touched.

Just want to drop dead

The pace of life is moving too fast. What lies in front is just a blurry plain. It is almost 11 months that I am living my life everyday without an internet. On and off after work, I would run to the nearest internet cafe to catch up with the cyber world. More than often, people surrounding me are little tots that could not stop screaming in front of their computer scream, not forgetting swearing in almost different language. They are so excited with their online game, interacting with the rest in the room. Except for me...

I am hook on the web, search engine, blogs and my usual routine of surfing on people's website, whether it is pop star, regular friends, unknown and whatsoever.

After last week's scam, I think all my energy is almost drained. I'm sucked into the blues. In physical terms, driving from KL to Subang and police station and that stupid Penzone company and work. Half of my time is spent on the road. In emotional terms, it is the stupidity in myself that I still could not forgive. Maybe a little now. The hidden greed which I never known. Humans are greedy, its just how it comes around. The feeling is horrible to know that greed exist in you. Sometimes, we just kept it surpressed that we don't see it often. Until it comes around, it drives me to the drain. Besides that, dateline for work, performances, training, replacement class...all happens in one week. Even my weekend is filled with that.

This is the first time returning to Taiping and not being able to go home and have to be back in KL on the same day. Plus, it is Mother's Day. Mum has made a pot of lovely chicken, ready to be fry and to enter my stomach. *sobs*. Sorry mum,if i wasnt so drain this week i will go back by bus early morning on monday.

I just so want to DROP DEAD this week. Just Zzzzzz away till I am recharged and well enough to charge back into this world! Hopeful thinking I guess..HAHAHA.

Life goes on no matter what happens. No matter you are in a black hole or depression or big trouble. It still goes on. So buckle up and pick yourself up. OR wish that they are more than 24 hours a day. Then, maybe the extra hours can be spent recharging, to contemplate and reflect on ourself.

Well, if you don't have enough time to do that. Then, find your loved ones or buddy to relax with. Eventhough its just two hours or a few, the results is rewarding. As for me, cousins, thank you so much. I love going out to tea with you and also karaoke (which we havent done for a while) :) ITs great fun! And thanks to you for introducing to me a smile that I could not forget. The smile of Jiro Wang. *melts* I feel so brighten up! or perhaps, i felt like I went back to high school, fandom over celebrity. Hahaha...Hope the smile will keep me smiling for the rest of the year! Jia you!!

Scamming Tricks of Welley Corporation


Welley Corporation distributes its low quality scam wares by cheating people. Of course, Welley Corporation calls this “marketing”, but the whole world knows it’s a scam! Welley Corporation uses tens of disposable proxy companies that they get rid off when things get too hot. Therefore, as soon as you discovered you’re scammed, take action ASAP!

The tactics used by Welley Corporation reps are very deceptive and convincing. The blatantly misleading approach that is their modus operandi are as follows:

1)Approach the victims’ homes under the pretense of conducting a market survey.

2)Proceed to ask questions regarding the victims’ preferred brands of electronic devices. The rep will seemingly jot down notes regarding your answers.

3)The rep will then “thank” you by giving you a small card where you’re required to write down your name and telephone number.

4)Upon handing back the card to the rep, he/she will say that the card can be opened to reveal either:
a)A “Terima Kasih” (Thank You) message
b) A “Special Gift”

5)The victim is then asked to open the card by tearing along the “cut lines” to reveal what’s inside

6)In every recorded instance, the card is always contains a “Special Gift” image containing pictures of cars, large screen TV sets, motorcycles and travel destinations

7)Then the acting begins! In an act worthy of an Oscar nomination, the rep will excitedly jump up and down while congratulating the victim. In adition, he/she will do the following:

8)Make a call to a “supervisor” saying that he has a “winner”.

9)The “supervisor” will then ask to speak to the victim to confirm that the rep did not “cheat”.

10)The rep will end the call and ask the victim to promise him/her to “belanja” (treat) when the victim wins the grand prizes.

11)Will hug and thank the victim for being “lucky” and mentioning that they will receive a “commission” whenever a victim “wins” something.

12)The rep will want to explain the whole process in detail while waiting for the arrival of the “supervisor” to explain the process more fully

13)Soon, the “supervisor” will arrive or the victim will be asked to go to their “office” where the “supervisor” is waiting.

14)The reps will ask the victim to “use” some of their products and promote it to friends and family members.

15) The reps will then show the victim the products and “test” it out.

16) While the victim is “testing” the products, the reps will go through the “prize list” and show the potential prizes. Details of the “prize list” are as follows:

a)A piece of black and white photocopied paper, usually seasoned and unclear
b)May contain scribbles near the top and bottom areas
Contains a list of approximately 10 to 16 items
c)The “Top 3″ prizes consists of cars, motorcycles and/or projection TVs
d)The “Bottom 3″ prizes consists of 10 day travel packages to international destinations, which the rep will say can be immediately be converted to cash since most people cannot go on 10 day holidays

17)The rep will explain only the “Top 3″ and “Bottom 3″ prizes and will discard the list as soon as he/she is finished

18)The rep will ask the victim to agree to take “promotional pictures” when he/she “wins the big prizes”

19)The reps will then ask you about the products you’re testing.

20) Only then the reps will explain about the “benefits” of the products and how it is of “good quality”. Bear in mind that the victim can only “test” the smaller electronic products.
21) The reps will then ask the victim to purchase the products at a “discounted rate” and try it out to the fullest.

22)Most victims will be hesitant, but the reps will sweet talk them with promises of “guarantees”, “money back” and “full support”

23)For women and those the scammers feel are vulnerable, the Welley Corporation reps have been said to use “strong arm” tactics such as keeping them in the small, cold room to “think about it”. Most victims will start to feel the psychological blow at this stage

24) Victims are then asked to “purchase” the products at RM2,997 with a credit card “to keep it simple”. The scammers have a preference for Hong Leong credit cards.

25) The scammers have never been reported to use credit card scanners, and usually will do the transaction authorisation via mobile phone.
T

26) The final transaction will be higher than RM2,997 due to “credit card charges”
Once the credit card transaction is cleared, it’s time to “unveil” the “prize”

27) Victims will be asked to peel open the sticker covering the “prize”.
At that crucial moment, they will beg the victim to promise to treat them to lunch/dinner/breakfast when the victims “win”. There are reports that they will “pray” and “hope for luck”.
.

28)When the prize is finally revealed; it is always a product that Welley Corporation produces themselves.

29) The reps will then have the cheek to ask the victim whether he/she wants to take a “promotional picture” with the “prize” just “won”.

That’s Not All! The Second Scam Will Now Take Place

At this stage, most victims will feel bad! Imagine, you’ve just forked out more than RM3,000 just to “win” a product that’s worth RM200 the most. A majority of people will realise that something has gone very, very wrong! We would expect a fellow human being to be sympathetic to what has just occurred. However, it’s obvious that the people working for Welley Corporation are trained to be heartless bastards (perhaps it’s even a condition of employment).

The scammers will then make a phone call to their “boss” and say that it’s not a “big prize”. They will then show a disappointed face and say that the “boss” says that the cannot get comissions for the prize the victim has just “won”.

However, there is a “second round” draw where the prizes are similar to the earlier “lucky draw”. The scammers will ask the victim to pick another card from a set of five. Needless to say, it will again be a “winning card” and the process stated above would repeat.

Welley Corporation Scam

Sometimes in life, we give the best advice. However, we never seem to follow our own advice somehow. I always tell others 'nothing falls from the sky' or in chinese, literal translation 'there won't be a big frog jumping everywhere in the street', or we can put it simply, money do not come easilly. And yet, I have became a victim of some lucky draw scam today. I am embarrassed for my stupidity, another part, the greed? I never do see myself as a greedy person for money or big cars or houses. I was caught offguard the other night.Maybe a subconcious of me, or part of human nature..there is greed existing. Alrite..I will cut the crap. Here is my story:

"I just realize that I am a victim of Penzone Marketing Sdn. Bhd. after I read their forum on few hours after I bought their scam tricks. They used the same trick posted by some of the forum user in your site. First I was told to open some lucky draw ticket. Then, I ‘happens’ to be the lucky winner. If i get the main price which is a car and so forth, I would have to fork out RM6000 over to buy and support their electric product before i carry away the main prize (this only applies if I win a car and bigger prices). If i happen to win a cash prize, I would need to pay RM3000 over to buy the product before I can carry away the prize. And if I did not get any of the main prize, I can carry away the product (turbo boiler, W Izap, Vacuum cleaner).

The address for their company around subang area is:
Penzone Marketing,
35 1st Floor,
Jln. USJ 10/1D,
47620 Subang Jaya Selangor.
Rep person: Mr Lee (016 650 4931)
Supervisor: Mr Teh

So, my stupidity started. Coz I somehow bought the story and I thought if i do get something, I would not have that amount of money to fork out. So for my case, I swap a credit of RM1500 to retain the ticket so that the following morning I will prepare the other sum to finish off the game. Then, with that amount they let me carry home one of the electronic prize. Then, i went home and consult my aunt and parents. Then my cousin went to check on the internet. Tadaaa~! I came to know I was conned. You can read more from this forum :

http://welleywatch.heritage-tech.net/17/glotron-marketing-latest-scam-subsidiary-of-welley-corporation/#comment-3416

Yea. So the following morning. Went to lodge a police report before my aunt and I go to meet the people. The seargeant advice us to meet them first, if they refuse a refund then go to see him in his police station for further statement. Anyway, they refuse and so the sergeant helped us to take further action. Called the company and inform bout our complain and made the boss to meet us the following week to refund the money. Since it is a credit card swap, there is a cooling period of 10 days. If they pull more tricks, just go straight to the tribunal.

Well, this case is not settled yet. Will see what will surface on the following week.Anyway, a valuable lesson learned. Din know I can get as dumb as that level. Besides, I have discovered where police station are located around my area. Went to 3 of it. LOL. If they dont' refund, I will soon know where is the tribunal office is located.

Till then, updates later.

Yee Sang

(Picture courtesy of paradasia.com)


I have an obsession over yee sang. I crave to eat it whether it is New year or every other day. I think its the plum sauce. Well first of all, Yee Sang, as I have always thought it comes from China and Hong Kong. However, i found out one day that it is originated from Malaysia. Today, I am at a site http://paradasia.com , it says that it could be originated from Indonesia too. There are about 26-28 ingredients inside this dish. Recipe can be found at the site I mentioned. It has becomes a tradition that we have to 'lou sang' in new year. It is just a symbol for good wealth and prosperity to come. The word 'lou sang' in chinese means everything that we do will be successful. Hence, thus comes the action 'lou sang' when we take our chopstick and mixed all the ingredients together. While 'lou sang' that, we also say auspicious phrases such as 'good health' , happiness and other chinese proverbs that will speaks of prosperous thing that we would hope for in the new year.

This is how it looks when everything is all mixed up (picture above). Last time, we used to use 'sang yu' as one of the item, recently we have a choice to substitute it with salmon, according to people's taste. These days, ready pack yee sang are available in the supermarket.

So cousin, Johnson and I were out for a trip hunting for 'Yee Sang'. We found ours in Jusco. We bought a pack of yee sang and also a pack of sashimi yee sang ( from the sushi section). Planning to mix 2 separate pack together. The Jap version has kurage, salmon, seaweed and others.

The Japanese ingredient yee sang. We took out the ebiko, thought that salmon eggs would taste weird with the rest and also salty.

All geared up to Lou Sang :) We were planning to lou sang today which is the 7th day of the lunar new year which is also known as 'everybody's birthday'.


Happy faces after eating yee sang :)

Cambodia Day 7 and 8

Day 7 was an off day. Shopping day for us and research day for Dr. Yeoh. We went to the nearby market square to buy some souvenirs. For dinner, we decide to go to one of the restaurant nearby. That place looks like Khao San. Filled with tourist and bars and restaurants. Watched the traditional dances. Then, we head back home to rest. Everyone couldn't wait to be home to Malaysia again.

Day 8. Woke up with diarrhoea. I think it must be from the ice I took yesterday. Coz I was not feeling very well at all. So just lie there and wait till the afternoon where the van will pick us to the airport.

Finally at the airport, Kerry is doing an interview with Sarah for her documentary of this trip

In the plain, all worn out and tired. I'm looking dead with the discomfort from my stomach.
The joy of reaching back to KL! I love being back home! My Char Koay Teow, Nasi Lemak, Fried rice, milk tea and etc etc....

However, I have to wait for a week before I can consume all that. I was down with stomach flu (viral gastroentritis). The diarrhoea, body ache and fever died down in a few days. But, i was nauseatic for the next few days despite me wanting to eat so much!

Cambodia Day 6

That's Dawn and I on the tuk tuk. It is really very cold and since the tuk tuk is not sheltered, the wind just keep blowing right on our face. I'm all wrapped up like Kenny :) Its Freezing! We woke up really early and started our journey at 5.45 am. Our guide FFK us, so we have to go without. We reach there and its pitch black. But lotsa people are walking into the gateway of angkor wat. Actually, in the guide book, they usually recommend to watch sunrise in Angkor Wat and Sunset at Bayon. However, we saw both at the same place. The road that leads straight into Angkor Wat is packed with photographers and tourist at 7.00 am onwards
This picture above is taken at 7.25 am. I actually had a picture taken at every 5 minutes, starting from 7.00 am. This is the best moment :)
Angkor wat at 8.17am.
Shaz and Mal doing the Bollywood thing :)
Then, its time to head back for breakfast and to check in to a new hotel.

Angkor Wat & Angkor Thom

Carving of the Apsara goddes on the walls.

Two little Cambodian gals, they were really posing for us at this spot. Cute!

Somehow I never got to this part of the temple. Coz am still stuck at the front part. This is the centre of it if I am not wrong.

The picture above is the Angkor Thom. This is one of my favourite among the others that I have seen.

A groupie photo in front of the Buddha face. This place is quite a hike. The steps are really steep as well.

Looks like our Sunway pyramid, just that it is not a SPhinx
Angkor Thom is located further inside. It is quite a distance from Angkor Wat itself.

Terrace of the Elephants & Terrace of the Leper King

Moving on from Angkor Thom, the picture below shows another place that we have visited. I don't know what this is called , that's the problem going to Angkor Wat without a guide..heheh. The temples are huge, and we dont' really get to know what purpose does each hall has and so forth.


At this spot where the picture above is taken, I met a kind 15 year old Cambodian girl. She was trying to sell me scarfs but I was not interested. Before I reach here, the rubber layer beneath my shoes came out and it makes walking difficult. We were just resting here looking at Dawn and Ben attempting to climb up the temple in front. I was still fiddling with my shoe, wondering what I can do. The little girl looked at me and said find something to tie it up. Then she walked away. I was actually going to untie the strings from my bag to fix it coz i can't find any strings around. Then, she came back with a rubber band. Then, the idea works! I was about to sit contentedly there. Suddenly, she went off and came back with a tiny bottle of strong glue. I was really touched by her kindness, going all the way to help me. The rest of the journey will be hard if the rubber thing keep coming out. I got to know a little about her, she studies English and Art in school. She says she like drawing. That's cool, hope she will be an artist one day :)


After that we moved on to the next place which is the Terrace of the Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper King. It is just next to each other, all in one stretch. Both are part of the walled city of Angkor Thom. Below are some of the shots I have taken. Beautiful carvings :)


As we were walking out of the Leper King, Shazzy had a little injury here, she slipped and fell. Hope her sprained leg has got all better now.


We are off to lunch after that. We are always surrounded by little kids who try to sell us postcards and bracelets for US1. They will go on and on. This little girl is one of them, but she is rather chatty and Dawn we asking a lot of question. Then, she came out with this phrase 'No money, no honey' after much questions..We were all stunt. Hahaha, never expect it to come out from a little girl like her :)
