Friendster Reminder - XXX XXX's Birthday is Jun 29!

OMG. I forgot. hahaha. Still, for consolation, I felt so bad for being reminded by friendster instead of remembering it myself.

No present coz I have forgotten. No card coz I have forgotten. But I would like to make a wish
For you to be happy always.

To my buddy,
Happy Birthday.

who drank my ribena?

Yesterday drizzling night I checked the malfunctioning (as a total freezer) fridge out and found out that there were two packets of ribena. Happily taking one out to drink, I quickly realized that it's frozen as a chilling pulse of signal was transmitted to the brain in sub-nanoseconds.

Little disappointed, I left it outside and went to sleep; even the match of the Orange vs the Argentines was sizzling hot on the tv. (It wasn't after all, and I was too drowsy to watch it)

The next morning after brushed I put on some nice clothes, probably to welcome the warmed ribena. Shockingly the Ribena packet was gone! Gone! Gone! Frantically I searched high and low for it. Soon, I understood that it was already emptied and thrashed.

I couldn't help myself laughing at heart for the next few seconds. It was she who drank my ribena! It was she who took 5 out of 6 of my Crispy chocolate bar! It was she who laughed hysterically when I caught the culprit for the disappeared chocolate bars! And yesterday night, she drank my ribena!

hahahahahaha.

Dont take me wrongly. No anger. No frustration. I got anyway another twin in the fridge, and Intel employees got to stay up late to work sometimes, so late until the the frozen ribena turned back to normal.

It was just, funny and simply cheering, in the pale rainy morning.



The other twin


Spot the culprit!
Oh ya, for those who hasnt seen me in hair before.

Great lyrics

落花流水.黄伟文

流水 像清得沒帶半顆沙
前身 被擱在上游風化
但那天經過那條提壩
斜陽又返照閃一下 遇上一朵 落花

相遇 就此擁著最愛歸家
生活 別過份地童話化
故事 假使短過這 五月落霞
沒有需要 驚詫

流水很清楚 惜花這個責任
真的身份不過送運
這趟旅行若算開心
亦是無負一生
水點 蒸發變做白雲
花瓣 飄落下游生根
淡淡交會過 各不留下印

流水 在山谷下再次分岔
情感 漸化做淡然優雅
自覺心境已有如明鏡
為何為天降的稀客 泛過一點 浪花

天下 並非只是有這朵花
不用 為教事下文牽掛
要是 彼此都有些 既定路程
學會灑脫 好嗎

流水很清楚 惜花這個責任
真的身份不過送運
這趟旅行若算開心
亦是無負一生
水點 蒸發變做白雲
花瓣 飄落下游生根
命運敲定了 要這麼發生

講分開 可否不再 用憾事的口吻
習慣無常 才會慶幸
講真 天涯途上 誰是客
散席時 怎麼分

流水很清楚 惜花這個責任
真的身份不過送運
這趟旅行若算開心
亦是無負一生
水點 蒸發變做白雲
花瓣 飄落下游生根
淡淡交會過 各不留下印
但是經歷過 最溫柔共震

Photos from Siam Reap Trip


I guess I missed out pasting a group photo. :D


Profound compusure seen in one of the countless sculptures


Sunset over Tonle Sap from Mount Bakheng



Will he survive in dignity admist stark poverty in the floating village?


A small kid in floating village paddled his way out to nowhere


The sun was as unsymphathetic as the poverty in many places in Cambodia and here in Tonle Sap floating village


I found this picture captivating for no reason. Anyone?

Reflection of the great Angkor Wat


I took at least 50 of these frame-like openings. Whenever I snapped one, the same idea just appeared. Was it the same scenery from the window and was it the same route the ancient Khmers took?


Last,yet smallest step space and steepest flight to the top


Mind gripping


Another one of Angkor Wat


Kid happily bathing in a lake


Big-root tree. Rooted on roof instead.



Hidden sculpture


Spiderman live at Angkore Wat. I took the one without the handrail.


Big root tree again from a ruined roof of one of the 72 temples in Khmer empire.


Sunset taken from inside Angkor Wat


Another one, taken from the ancient library of the area


Devout? People resting in front of the ancient library.



Those roots sound hollow.

Room #6, Jasmine Travelodge, Siam Reap. A rough dream.

One peaceful morning in Siam Reap I woke up puzzled smelling the wooden parquetry in a guesthouse. The night before the descendants of Aztecs beat the Persians 3-1 in Nuremberg Germany where Hitler staged vast Nazi rallies in the 20s. I, in Cambodia, thought I had slept over the tumultuous night in one of the many Vats of the once great empire, the Khmer.

I had a dream. A dream full of hatred and agony, betrayal and turmoil. Unwilling yet triggering. I have had my bewilderments and puzzlements towards stark ignorance questioned. Answers were as gone as the dream as I woke up, attempting to wipe out a drop of tear I anticipated yet absent.

I did not come here to seek for reconciliation of the many men inside me, nor liberating notorious evils or neaten any complex hassles in my mind. But I shall leave lucidly and calmly. Angers from betrayals left as good as smoke. Answers ain't important anymore.

I must have been enthused by ambitious King Suryavaman II or the malicious Pol Pot. As I watchfully yet determinedly climbed up the last yet steepest stairs, I thought the Gods of Mount Meru must have granted me vigor to say thank and say sorry, say hi and say bye, say love and say hate. No mercy, no cruelty.

Check out the pictures. I had enjoyed the trip to Angkor Wat and its surrounding to a great extent. http://photos.yahoo.com/limcheecheng
