Back to Norm

well, this weekend is the most relaxing weekend for me ever since cny. I had visitors, my aunt and family came over from Sabah , my mom and dad , my brother & niece were here for cny celebration with us. I have been busy in and busy out since Christmas and had delay quite a few things which I dragged to do it for quite some time, (i) weekly menu planner (ii) my own time table (iii) the maid's schedule (she is coming in every Monday and Friday, so, I have to make sure everything is done where she is here) .
Hope the first 2 items able help to make my life more organized and easier!  Hehehehe

Cambodia Trip 2010- Part IV

Few more photos:-

Our last day in Cambodia........


One of the tourist spot, Phsar Thymei, a.k.a. central market. the government refurbished and reconstructed the whole building. It looked real different compared to year 2006, the year I left Cambodia.



Independent Monument


The lunch we ate before leaving for Pochentong Airport. Sze Chuan Food. My favourite dish and hubs and I surely had it at least once a week while we were in Phnom Penh last time.

And because of this meal, I had a very embarrassing moment in flight. My tummy was in terrible pain (due to the spicy food) right before the flight took off. The cabin crew stopped me from going to the washroom even though I told her I really need to do my "business".  I had to hold my tummy and rush to the toilet when the seat belt sign has been off.

So, see you Phnom Penh! I am not sure when is our next trip there again. But I guess, it might be our last trip there. Dara, Susi, Samon, Assine and everyone, hope to see you all again.

Cambodia Trip 2010- Part III -Tuol Sleng

Here, I am going to continue and conclude my Cambodia trip.


One thing good with Phnom Penh, you can see stalls selling coconut on most of the main streets.  My mom and brother enjoyed the fresh coconut water.


The outside view of Tuol Sleng. It is actually a school and was converted into a human prison during Pol Pot time. Many Cambodian , especially those older generation who had gone through the Pol Pot time did not like to talk about this.










I was in Cambodia for almost 7 years. I had never visit Tuol Sleng. Those photos were taken by my brother. Every time when my family members or friends visiting me, I just get my driver to send them there.

Tell you, one of my maids told me this. She was staying near to Tuol Sleng. Her mom told her that years after Pol Pot time over, they can still hear crying and screaming came out from the school (prison). They believed it is from the "spiritual" thing.

Hello! Happy Chinese New Year

Hi there, what a long- time- no- see greetings! Chap Goh Mei is not over yet and it is still CNY for everyone.

My first post in 2011 and will continue my long overdue Cambodia trip post, Part III in my coming up post.

CNY resolution: will need to be more "hardworking" in writing some posts on the kids.
