A Breathe of Sunshine



Currently Listenin to: I'm Your Angel by Celine Dion

At last, after a lethargic PMS period, boring classes, mental emo-ness, physical laziness and mysterious headaches, I have finally installed the 'omph' to blog about my day 5 in Cambodia. :)

So on day 5, we were still in Phnom Penh and and the city tour continues. We visited the King's Palace, Watt Phnom, Russian Market and had a River Cruise. It was a splendid day as I never new the Kings's Palace was so huge with lotsa mini palaces in it. It was beautiful and filled with culture and err... Buddha statues...haha. Maklum la, Cambodia is a very religious country and Buddism is a man part of it. Many of the palaces were turned into temples. Many cambodians would often visit the King's Palace to pray (for free entry) while us tourists have to 'donate' USD 6 to enter. The pics coming up consist of the palace tour but unfortunately, photography is not allowed inside the palaces's internal domain (inside), hence only buildings. There are also no pictures on the shopping spree (yes, again shopping, almost hari2 there shopping) at the famous Russian Market because I had too many things in my hand (:P) then and it was really too hot in there (that I chose to hold my fan instead of the camera). So anyway.... let the pics begin and let the story continue.... :D

Day 5 in Cambodia: King's Palace, Watt Phnom, Russian Market and River Cruise

This tree here adorned the entrance of the palace. I find it to be really beautiful and interesting as it was uncommon and elegant looking. Note that it rarely has any leaves but the thin branches and pretty flowers. The flowers look really sweet upclose.
I just had to take a pic of this banana tree. Or should I say just 'banana'! Have you seen so many bananas (or so long) on one tree? I know I havent.
Map of the entire palace domain. It's pretty big. Or should I say very BIG. Click to view more.
From here onwards... there will be many pics of different palaces inside the whole palace compound. And I mean a lot! This is one of em...



Must kaki ayam when masuk...











Inside one of the palaces... because takde orang... I tried taking pics...hehehe. This, ladies and gentlemen is a giant golden foot print of Buddha.

Golden Buddha and if you look closely, it's adorned with diamonds.
There must be hundreds of thousands of buddha statues in the entire King's Palace and almost everywhere inside each palace is filled with buddha statues.
The walls of the internal compound... Cambodians just love to have history on their walls. :)
Then there's the exhibition rooms....Here, we have the significant (so to speak) white elephant of the king... oh, and with lotsa buddhas too.
The raja punya throne thingie when he tak nak jalan :P This is one of many, too lazy then to take all the chairs then.

There's an exibition room whereby lotsa golden elephants where put in display, the entire room glittered with gold!
Royal Seal... pretty nice to play with :P
Outside the palace... From the jalan besar...
Which by then, obviously, we dah habis our palace tour and moving on...
Did not take as many pics as I thought I would as it was really hot then and I really needed in my hand was my fold-able fan to make sure I didnt melt. :P
The interesting thing about Cambodia is that during their pilihan raya, they dont advertise like we do (TV, ads, banners etc). Instead... a few days before the election day, they'll have a really big and long convoy of the campaign like a big parade! FYI, during our stay in Cambodia, it was the election week.. :P So we had a chance to see how another country have their pilihan raya. These two pics show how it's all like. And mind you, we sat in the tuk tuk for 15 mins in the traffic waiting for the whole convoy to past. Imagine the length and amount of cars, people etc for it.

This is the Cambodian Parliment.
This is Watt Phnom. A monument / temple dedicated to the lady who founded Phnom Penh. There's only one picture as the camera was running out of space and again, the heat compelled me to stick to the fan instead of the camera.
We took a stroll after that alongside the river (in which we will take a cruise in the evening)...
Their makanan ringan or road side food junk.... Siput with salt :P
And after that, we headed to the Russian Market for more shopping!!! But no pics la (explained d why above). And then later we had a river cruise. What's so significant about this cruise is that this river leads and joins with three other rivers (it's something fascinating apparently to my dad) from different parts of the country as well as connecting to Vietnam. So we charttered a boat with 15USD for the entire cruise which was about 2 hours. We were hosted by a lovely family (the boat is their house!). It was a really sweet and comfy house/boat.
The banks of Phnom Penh and the other 'cruise' boats.
There.... is where Vietnam is.
Top of the boat... me parents enjoying the breeze.
The union of 2 (and behind is the third) rivers....
Sweet sweet daughters of the boat. My mum gave em little angpaus...haha.

*****



So that ends day 5 of Cambodia. Will be posting on day 6 soon and then HABIS! Hahaha.... hope you got a little exposure on Cambodia through my little bloggie. Have a nice weekend and God bless. Hugs!

A Bouquet of Wild Daisies

Currently Listening to: Lahaina by The Volcanos (Lilo and Stitch: Island Favourites)


I am blogging again.... yeap. What can I say? It's gotta be PMS or that I am just so freakingly bored and lame. But who cares, sick people have all the time of the day when they not sleeping their heads off. I still can't bring myself to have the motion to blog about my 5th day in Cambodia. Maybe I am still lazy in editing and uploading the pictures but I hope I'll finish it when the 'Strawberry storm' has past.

I feel kinda emo and self concious lately. And yes, you all must know PMS is my constant shadow lately. And maybe that's why my sense of sensitivity has ascended majorly. And I can't help feeling like a pregnant woman with lotsa hormones. I start to get over upset for the tiniest things and tend to over-react inside with over thinking of problems that doesnt exist or shouldn't be. It sucks. A lot. So guys, love your girlfriends more and know you're not the only one suffering and facing the annoyance of PMS (when they throw bitch-fits). It's just the hormones and just so you know, it's what drives you crazy over them too. So all is fair.

Looks like I am going to be on problematic future girlfriend huh? Tehee.... let's hope I will be blessed with one super understanding and loving boyfriend to tolerate me then. LOL!

I despise PMS... it's a 'rotten pumpkin' and I am a constant slave to it... Can't imagine how I'll be when I'm pregnant instead. LOL! Note to self in 5 years time (5 years? who am I kidding?)... Love my husband MORE (Please let me be married then!!! - again, who am I kidding? :P)! LOL!

I am so craving for seaweed now... lotsa crispy Korean or Japanese seaweed... Hmmm mmm...!

Soup too, lotsa nice sweet seaweed soup.... like the one my granny makes. My mouth or should I be more specific, throat; is tasting like some weird stinking anti-biotic and I seriously need some ajinamoto...LOL!

I just finished watching Grey's Anatomy and Cashmere Mafia and it was great, love it. Totally superb for a PMS night and it got me all high up and preppy thinking that I might have a chance of making my life into a soap opera. But hey, all I'm lacking if a McDreamy of a boyfriend and a Cashmere coat... or maybe just some elegance in my life.

I think I kinda sound like a sour drama queen. Maybe so, but just for this moment. For once, I wanna bask in my own prima donna-ness... so sue me! But then again, I have this icky feeling that the whole world already hates me for some bitchy reason. :P PMS? You tell me...



You know what I want? What I really really want?

I want someone I can securely cuddle up to and leave all my stuffs behind. Someone who'll give me enough comfort to strip away all my insecurities and just let me be myself wholely in his arms. Someone who knows me, understands me, holds no judgement against me, accepts me and just truly loves me. And me to him. Someone like my.....

























































my hubby bubby pink bolster!!!!!! :D

Yeap, that's my sayang... for now.
And someday, God's gonna bless me with a real man instead. :)
And I shall wait for that beautiful day to come. :D

For whom does the wind cry for?




A little depressed....

.... just a little.


No cookies in my jar...



So much for PMS on my headache... Mum thinks it's over heaty... Panadols and Aspirins did not work and hence the doc issued Paracetamols instead. Yes, I had to see a doc, and apparently according to her, the cause was due to pressure (????) which no one in my family agress to it. Hahaha.... maklum la, the sleeping pig of the house mana la boleh pressure. Not that I'm that mellow but hey, I have my share of carefree moments. But anyway, I didn't merely visit the doc for my jelly-like head problem. It was because I woke up this morning with conjunctivitis and sore throat which then lead to a minor fever. And all my mum said was "YIT HEI" which means internal body heaty-ness and in this case, too heaty sampai kena jumpa doctor. Me mum blames it on the mamak sup kambing I had the night before.... but well... it was worth it...hahaha! The down part of it is that I am missing the barbeque that's happening right this moment downstairs. My bro and his friends are having a blast "burning sausages in the front porch and I can't touch the food due to my 'heaty-ness'. And here I am blogging because I am freaking bored stuck in my room with bread and soup. And because PMS is around the corner, my tummy has begun to ache a little... I wonder if I should wipe down some Panadols for it while I'm heavy on Paracetamols and other medications??? p/s: 5 pills... okay and 3 of it aregigantic... I almost choked!

Anyway... do leave a little footprint at the (new) CBOX and tell me if the colour is too over or not. As a 'colourful' person, sometimes I cant tell if it's just too much....teheee.

Okay, can't blog for long... vision lacking already.

Have a nice weekend and day God bless!

Blur Sotongs In My Tank!





Argh!!!


I hate headaches!!!


I hate PMS!!!


Bohohohohohooo...!!!


I've had, am having and will be having one sucky day!


I can't do anything right or for long.


My headache is bugging me like red ants to a rambutan tree!


I can't watch TV for long nor even go online for more than half an hour. I can't even read a decent chapter of online manga without smoothering myself to my bolster for mental comfort.


OMGosh... it feels terrible.


I didn't even go for "Vibe" tonight because of my headache! :P


Is it really PMS??? Or am I just plain sick? Me mum and aunt said I felt hot (like fever) but I feel fine, I think. Sometimes I feel kinda nauseous and my back neck aches too.


I took a Panadol yesterday and a Bayer Aspirin today... still no effect. :(


Okay, I gotta stop now... headache taking its toll...


A 'bugger' told me that maybe there's a midget in my head bugging me...



O the Strawberry-ness of Me!



Currently Listening to: Let Me Lie by Hayley Westenra.

The Potato seems rather reluctant to start blogging and posting pictures of her 5th day in Cambodia. Perhaps, it's her laziness to edit the sizes of the photos? The nonchalant manner in trying to upload them? The divided views in whether to put them in parts? The little dizziness that has lingered in her left temple since yesterday? Or just PMS???

Don't mess with the 'kitty'!

I know PMS is a very common trade among girls and women and expecially me as it never seem to ever leave me alone every month. Emo-ness, cramps, back aches, lethargicness...etc. It seems to be a bl**dy annoying cycle.... wait, it's more than a cycle! It's an evolving cycle that gets worst. I recall the first PMS I had to go through when I first started to "age biologically".

First was cramps... VERY BAD cramps, in my early teens. Then 'heaviness' (lack of energy) came in... making me feel like a slug in school then whenever 'strawberry' came. In mid teen, emotions ran wild and that's when life is suddenly a big soap opera. And before I knew it... after the teen phrase (when the big 2-0 age comes to the picture), back aches start to attack as if osteoperosis jacked my spine. And now... in this very month, I've just discovered a new symptom...a very annoying one at that... headaches!!! Plus them altogether and you'll get a circus of disasters ni ya!

I never knew that headaches were a form of PMS cause I never had it nor knew anyone who did. Most girls I know commonly and usually only have cramps and emo-ess but on my case... it just keeps piling up. I have an annoying case of dizziness and head roller-coaster yesteryday noon and thought that maybe it was due to my contact lenses of something else. The fact that it was PMS never crossed my mind till Mdm Yiang told me. Hmmm.... I couldn't think about it much then for as I returned home, I immediatly dropped 'dead' on the bed and zero-ed out for the next 5 hours. Actually, it didn't really zzzz for real but just half concious lying on the bed as the headache did not permit me to doze off. It was wrecky!

And today... my head is giving me the same knocking on my temples. So get it all straight, I went online to search for the answers. And guess what, it is a PMS symptom. And I learned more... that PMS does 'evolve' and adds on more symptoms in life as you grow/age. Which freaking explains, why each phase of my life seems to be getting worse during 'strawberry'. So much for cramps, emo-ness, back aches, and a sluggy body... now I have to as headaches to the list!!! Darn! But at least I'm not that bad.... errr.. am I? I found out there are a lot more PMS symptoms and thankfully I'm not having them (YET????)... but as it states, it does pile up as you age. A few of them are acne (walau), bloating and tender breasts... which errr.. I don't think I have (nor want to have - sekarang also pening d every month).

Girl's rules and rocks but it isn't easy being one...
