Narrations

Boys don't cry but men do

It's the last day of my three day trip in Siem Reap. Got up at about 8 and today we are visiting Angkor Wat. Actually I'm only looking forward to this part of the trip. You will understand why at the end of this post. Nothing much I can say to describe what I saw so I'll let the pictures tell the story.

Entrance into the temple area

The first temple we visited was Banteay Srei. Claimed to be one of the most beautiful temple and filled with intricate carved motifs.

Banteay Srei


Imagine beautiful sculptures like this in every corner of the temple

Then we went to Bayon, temple of many faces.

Everywhere was faces like these staring down at you

Then we stopped by for lunch at a local hawker and proceeded to Angkor Wat.

Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat is huge. We walked the span of two causeways and went thru two gateways just to reach the inner temple. That's about almost a kilometre of walking. The whole place is surrounded by a moat almost a football field wide.

My fav pic the whole trip. Monks leaving the temple as I entered

These are called apsaras. Heavenly maidens sent down as rewards for kings and warriors

There are apsaras everywhere along the walls of the temple. The interesting thing is every apsara is different to one another, being the hair, the pose, the facial expression. Everyone of them is different. In the middle of everything is the inner temple. You need to climb a steep set of stairs to get up. The steps are worn and slippery. Luckily they installed a railing to the sides but that doesn't make it any scarier.

Sis climbing up to the inner temple(sorry bout the sideway pic)

While up there we saw a Korean filming crew

The actor and actress

What a weird place to do a Korean serial in. Couldn't recognise anyone there so must be not famous one la..

I forgot the name of this temple but they called it Tomb Raider temple

Yes this is where they filmed the Tomb Raider movie starring Angelina Jolie. The temple is being reclaimed by the forest and giant trees eat away at the walls. Looks adventurous.

A tree outside the temple. Got female counterpart ah?

The pics I took are really not the best so you can't really see the beauty of the places. But believe me the places are really beautiful and you will wonder how they built them over 800 years ago.

Angkor at night

It's evening and we had to track up a hill to a hilltop temple to look at the sunset.

A huge crowd like this gathers everday on the top

Voyeur hehe~ chun Japanese tourist

The sun is going down

There are plenty more temples but we managed to cover only the more famous ones. David says you can stay here for a week and not finish exploring everything.

So back to the hotel we go and dinner at another hawker stall.

Ikan amok

The kangkung you see is called morning glory here in Cambodia. We were expecting to eat purple flowers when we ordered it. And it turns out that Cambodians only eat the stalk and not the leaves. So we had a plateful of kangkung stalks. They feed the leaves to pigs (they rear pigs in villages) because the stalks can be kept longer. So what about here in Malaysia? Total opposites.
Finished we dinner we went for traditional massage. My first.

Quite painful...

The day is done and we stopped by a convenience shop before going back to the hotel. Got some Angkor Beer...

So cheap...and tastes like Tiger

Back at the hotel I got a gentle reminder....

That's right don't do it you bastards. haha.

It's 4am and I'm not asleep. I must be crazy but it is the holidays albeit for a week and I have a flood of four mid-terms when term reopens. One week to study and to play the fool. Hot springs are slated, Korean steamboats are on their way and to hit 90 on my character in PT. Lots of stuff to do and I'm only beginning to feel the college lifestyle haha. After three years.
So to MMU crappers have fun and don't get owned by mid-terms when the week ends. Have a nice holiday people!

The past few nights have been busy: with CF, CG, being with friends and gaming...haha. I returned to Priston Tale, a Korean mmorpg that I used to play back in secondary. But I'm on a private server now and if you ever play there pm me :D

So July is over and bulan patriotik is here. The past month was quite happenin' with every weekend spent with friends on outings and parties. All 21 years old ma..sure got lots of parties.
Here are some other less significant stuff that happened to me.



TAYAR PANCITS

On the day of Sue's party I went to church alone; pops was away on retreat. So being late I rushed there and I noticed my front right tire was really bumpy and I thought was some mud that caked on it since it was a rainy day. At church when I stepped out of the car I heard air escaping from that tire. Yay. Some screw got stuck deep in it. I probed the screw and managed to stop air from coming out. So in to the church for service I went. After the service, my tangan gatal I got a screw driver from the bunk and tried to get the damned thing out. And because it is a screw I literally screwed it out. Then air rushed out full force. Being smart I screwed it back in the hole but the damage was done. The tire was all floppy. So in the rain I decided to do the manly thing. Change the tires!. I've never done it before mind you.
So to the trunk I got everything that I needed and jacked the car up and replaced the tires and I was done in 5 minutes.
Woah! I just did something I've never done before in 5minutes. I guess changing tires are a mans thing hahaha.

The dastardly evil little prick..and it isn't even sharp!

RAINBOW CLEANS MY CAR

My friend Baba Calvin Chow is sales representative of the Rainbow Hydro-cleaning system. Basically means he's a salesman selling a vacuum machine. So Eddy Chan and I was invited over to his place to test out this "hydrocleaner".

family car...not MINE

Baba Chow ah beng :)

I haven't really cleaned the insides of my car in weeks but it looks clean.

Doesn't look canggih to me..

So this thing supposedly thoroughly cleans deep into fabric and I was skeptical at first...

this from my car....from clear water to kopi O kau

Isn't this familiar...looks like someone...

Ok I know...not funny...~

It sort of works and I didn't know the car was so dirty. So for the free cleaning services I'm repaying him with this "advertorial". If you're interested, call him for a free demo.

Window Messaging Service

I was leaving the Central Lecture Complex at campus, walking towards my car parked at the lecturers carpark which is closer to classes. From far I could see a piece of paper stuck on my windshield. A WMS or window messaging service(coined by Adrian). So I thought it was from Crew ajak minum or something. But this is what I got.

What the...?

Lecturer? Me? Of course not. Parking in the lecturers carpark? Am I looking for trouble? Of course not. I park there because I have..

..uh huh..my stickers of powaa~!

For those who don't know, these are MMU lecturer car stickers. So I can park anywhere I want!well almost. Don't ask me where I get it because I'm not sharing my powaa with anyone else har har har!! And the person who sent me the WMS?

Our favourite Indian macha~

Thanks Vijay for making me thought I was going to get saman-ed. Joker.

CHEAP INDIAN MEALS

Thanks to Baba Chow again, I was introduced to a really nice Indian stall at Bukit Bruang foodcourt. Tired of a Indian meal that costs about RM5 minimum?

At this Indian stall, everything you see costs a total of RM2.80

Papadam, a curried piece of chicken and two potatoes, two serving of veges and a cup of ais kosong. Winnar! The store owner's a nice dude and speaks a little English. The only downside is that the choices are limited.
And the food isn't really orgasmic-ally nice or anything, but it's good enough to keep me coming back for more.





That's about it. July 2007 was a good month. Off to class now. Bees
