That's Me

This colour

My 5 days of reservist are finally over. The only thing i dread for the entire in-camp training was the overnight out field training where my PC lost his way a few times. Seeing my old friends again was good. A few of them had already developed a bulge around their waistline. Lihao had expanded horizontally and quit smoking. I have progressed to Cat Y for IPPT. We are all getting old.

Called up the guy. He asked me to look for other jobs first. I am disappointed. Maybe i had my hopes too high.

I went out with a uni friend last night for supper. The prawn noodle at Adam's Road Hawker Centre was yummy.

God, you will give me what you deem fit for me. Though i don't see it right now, i will learn to trust.

You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 2 Timothy 3: 10-11

Below: Khmer curry and beef. The curry contains sweet potatoes which made the gravy saccharine to the taste buds.

Above: An interesting notice that was pasted on the door of the guesthouse we stayed in Siem Reap. How it is possible to bring in an air missile into the room in the first place? Below: A lot of the locals do not have refrigerators at home. They obtained ice from these lorries that supplies ice blocks to them.Below: Fried insects such as locusts and beetles are commonly sold at roadside stalls in Cambodia. This picture was takened at the resting station as we took a bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh.

Above: The bus we took. Mekong Express. Below: A hotel at the resting station.

Below: The central market in Phnom Penh. The famous and beautiful dome roof. The design of the roof allows the interior of the market to be well-ventilated inspite of the lack of air-conditioning facilities inside.

Above: Another view of the Central market. Below: The waterfront at the Capital. The lamp posts are strikingly different from the oriental architecture of the pavilion at the centre.

Above: A street outside the Royal Palace at Phnom Penh. We had to pay to take pictures inside the Palace on top of the entrance fees. Totally unheard of. Below: The potrait of the Cambodian King outside one of the buildings.

Above: The waterfront promenade beside the Mekong River. The place was very dirty and full of litter. A popular place for the Cambodians to hang out on weekends. Below: The mighty Mekong River!
