Siem Reap, Cambodia

Never did I thought that I will go to Cambodia, it’s not even one of the country on my list! But still I went with an open mind and I should say it’s really an unforgettable trip I have, an eye opening experience for me. Captivating scenery and temples that set you wonder how people last time able to build such beautiful temples with all the cravings on almost all part of the temples. It’s really amazing!

I will say this trip really put a test not only on my stamina but also to my fear of height!!

First before even reaching Cambodia, me and my friend were taking our own sweet time to get on board. We almost miss the flight!! Before we begin our adventure at Cambodia, we were running like mad to reach the boarding gate!! I swear I will never want to do it again!! Both of us are still as destructive as ever..

Second, Every morning, I woke up around 4plus to 5am and begin my journey exploring different temples in Siem Reap.. of course under the scotching sun!! I am badly burned.. Not only I sweat a lot, my legs going numb when I had to climb the super high and steep steps up the temple.. I almost kill myself!! There is no turning back except to continue climbing..

Neverthless I tried my best to conquer my fear and make it up. Its worth it! The sunset is soooo nice… with the temples as the backdrop, you will never get such views in Singapore..

The trip was fun with my friend, Sharon Tan around.. We had our bits of fun and craps together! From the driver who always ask her the same question every time he sees her until she was so irritated and decided to ignore him, then to the guide that took her breath away.. haha… not forgetting the waiter at Blue Pumpkin ( Café at Cambodia) who tried his luck to date us to go clubbing with him…. There were lots of jokes and craps created by both of us…We even fear where the tuk tuk driver was going to drive us to.. haha..

It is an experience that I will never forget…

The War in Cambodia that I will never able to understand… The landmines that kill or handicapped many which I feel sad for them. .

The life over Cambodia make me more appreciative of the place that I am living in now. Children there were not as lucky as over here.. They had to work hard for their keep, persuading tourists to buy from them, I would say they were really good salesman.

One thing for sure I will remember is the smile on their face. It made me realize that happiness can be so simple.. Life isn’t that complicated the way it should be..

Life could just be that simple…
