The Chronicles of Cambodia 7: Angkor Wat & Amazon Angkor
I suddenly had the inspiration to blog about Cambodia again after Chiaw Yin passed a very random statement over on Facebook.
“Mr Shiya is very good”.
I was cracking my head on who is this fella and why is she telling me this. Then it clicked me ! Mr Shiya aka Siya was our tourguide in Siem Reap and i used to call him as Ya. I knew Chiaw Yin was in Siem Reap not long ago but i never knew she also got him as her guide.
The best part was, she said he still remembers me ! ^.^
But to be frank, he is one hell of a guide, to be honest. Though we occasionally teach him the wrong things in Hokkien, hahahaa. I really hope the guide i am getting in Indonesia would be as good and enthusiastic as Siya 
Back to my writing, I am still in 3rd day of Siem Reap of the 4 days we were there. The picture above shows a note from one of the kid saying she isn’t well to do and she supports the family by selling books. The thing about the kids, they really look pitiful but if you don’t play their game then you will just end up being cursed. As for the books, after closer inspection you would noticed that it’s photocopied. Just the cover is coloured. So yeah bargain hard.

Sui Wah to Hennessy to Flash Bang
Coming from a closely-knitted family and being always stuck in front of the computer all day long, i never liked clubbing. In fact the ones in Penang are usually in town and i was living on the other side of the island, …
in a kampung …
… called Kampung Jawa.
The most happening place in Kampung Jawa was this mini mart called Sui Wah and that’s it. I grew up and left for my degree, Sui Wah grew up and it’s now Sunshine Square, still the most happening place around Kampung Jawa.
Shifting to Melaka and KL to further my studies did open my eyes big big, well it depends on how you interpret my sentence. I think i have gone to pubs and clubs in KL more times compared to Penang.
Actually in Penang i have only gone once … -_-”
That also my friend drank my share of the beer, swt.

Nuffnang = Cambodia
I am finally back!
Well let me say that i am very excited to see what 2009 have installed for me. In slightly more than a week from now, i will be off to Cambodia for 6 days with 6 friends of mine and that is definitely gonna have me missing from my blog yet again.
The idea of Cambodia was first conceived when i was strolling about on the sandy beach of Redang Island after a crazy day at Nipple Island. Initially, in the morning, i received a call from my mum saying i had cheques from Nuffnang and that she had already banked it in. Knowing i had extra cash in hand, i jokingly asked William and Angeline, …
“Come let’s go Cambodia ….”
William was fast to say he was in. I can’t even be sure if he even took time to think
Angeline on the hand took probably a few seconds longer before agreeing to join the bandwagon …
… and that’s how things got rolling. One by one the rest joined in, Lee May, Aaron, Ai Ling and Emily. I am excited, everyone is excited cause no one knows what is gonna happen as our plans are kinda sketchy. Keeping our fingers crossed that everything goes as planned
Personally i am definitely happy with how Nuffnang has changed the blogosphere especially in Malaysia (… and also in the other countries that they are invading). Thanks to them, i have the extra moolah which enabled me to get my flight tickets to Cambodia.
On the side note, also related to Nuffnang, this coming Saturday would be the auditions of Malaysian Dream Girls in Kuala Lumpur which is also the final audition for this season.
Date 10 Jan 09 (Saturday)
Time 10am – 5pm
Venue Impiana KLCC Hotel & Spa
I’ll be there … in fact Andrew will also be there and we will both be covering the event on behalf of Malaysian Dream Girls. My counterparts, Simon Seow and Intan or better known as Malaysian Super Mummy 
will also be there but earlier.
So if you have what it takes to be a model, then don’t forget the details above. Drag your friends along
See you all there 
Merry New Year everyone !
P/S: I just realized my last entry was written last year >.<! LOL

Murni Reopens
I finally got my hands on my Mamma Mia-the musical ticket. Initially the money saved was to be used to watch Russell Peters in Singapore but since that show is already sold out, i got this ticket without hesitation.

How to: Change a flat tyre at LDP
UPDATED: Check the bottom of the entry
On the way to the Curve, William asked if i could feel his rear left wheel wobbling and i said yes but it wasn’t that obvious unless if i wasn’t been told about. So the assumption was his car needs allignment.
But we thought wrong and on the way back from the Curve the inevitable happened …
The tyre blew and the next thing we knew, we were on the side of LDP just before Western Digital. The last time i encountered a ‘phailed’ tyre was with Bernard and all we did was called up David, LOL. But this time around William single handedly change it himself. Steven, Jess and I just stood there like dodo birds, hahaha.
