Siem Reap, Cambodia

I have finally decided on the place to go. It will be Siem Reap. What's in Siem Reap, mainly Angkor Wat. I will be going there in June which is the start of raining season. Many people have advised me that it's a wrong month to go but hey... it's only rainy season, no big deal *I hope*.

Initially my friend and I were still contemplating on the place to go. Cambodia was one of them, but still contemplating about it until I saw Silkair's promotion. Silkair has a very good offer for Siem Reap but need to get the tickets by this Friday. Without further ado, I bought the tickets immediately after seeking my friends' agreement.

I think this is my first trip to a third-world country. But since Cambodia is a Buddhist country, I guess it will be alright. Most importantly, I can put my camera and lens into good use there. Cambodia is a good photography place. Hopefully the photos will turn out well.

Tired

I need a break, comtemplating to go somewhere and yet I do not feel like flying. Too much of flying lately, been flying almost every alternate week.

Last Friday, while waiting to board the plane, I have this weird feeling out of nowhere. I seem to be aloof from the crowd. It was like I was in the wrong place. Guess I was just thinking too much.
Looking out of the glass panel, I can't help but notice how dirty the glasses were. Bangkok's air was hazy due to forrest fire and the fire was caused by people clearing lands to grow crops. More pollution, more stress to our mother earth. It's sad what has the world become, and it's all due to the acts of human beings.

I seriously need to go somewhere where I can have a taste of clean air, no more hazy sky, no more burning smell, no more traffic honking...

Hong Kong shopping victory

It was still CNY period when I need to fly to HK. It's my fourth trip to HK, lesser excitement compare to previous trips except for my shopping list. With the current exchange rate, 5.49, I can't help but came up with a long shopping list.

My shopping victory:

My skincare...

My "wen fang si bo"...

And of course not forgetting the tabloid...

Alright, I got to admit, there are more items and tabloids in my shopping bag...

Merry Christmas 2007

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

Today is Christmas's eve. Thank goodness I do not need to buy much presents. If not, I can't imagine myself squeezing with the crowds right now.

Of course, I have not forgotten to get myself a present! My Crumpler 6 Million Home!

While I am updating my blog, I can hear people singing Christmas Carols opposite my block. Christmas is in the air... Not forgetting I'm celebrating the arrival of Christmas with my baby!

Ho Ho Ho... Merry Christmas...

Tamron 90mm f/2.8 1:1 macro lens

The lens that I have been aiming for. Anyone who is kind enough to get me that as a Christmas present? Please....

Asian GEOgraphic

I subscribed to Asian GEOgraphic. What caught my eyes when I first saw it, was the striking green cover. And today I received the Asian GEOgraphic Journal - 101 Things to Do in Asia.

The contents is classified into 3 categories: Adventure, Festival and Nature. I only managed to find Singapore under the category, Festival, which mentioned about Chingay. That's all?! I mean is that all about Singapore?

Insanity

Sometimes, life needs some insanity.

I could not understand why I can't sleep last night. Maybe I shouldn't have think too much...

To celebrate the release of my once-in-a-blue-moon rebellious spirit, I decided to head down to Changi and shoot pictures of sunrise. It was 6.10am when I reached Changi. I was amazed by my own craziness, there's no females at all unless you want to consider those she-males.

Although Singapore is a safe country but for the first time, I started to worry about my own safety. Nevertheless, I decided to proceed. But what a joker I was! When I attempted to shoot a picture of the jetty, the "No CF" alert appeared! At that point in time, I really felt like banging myself against the wall.

No other option, but to leave Changi. It's was 6.20am when I left the place... Drove more than half hour to reach there and left the place in 10 minutes. Really joke of the day man...

Anyway, decided to head for Mac's hotcakes. I have had the craving since last night... So finally I'm done with my breakfast, and it's time to sleep... GOOD MORNING!
