Angkor Wat Here I come!

Short updates of my Cambodia trip. Most of my pictures are in my facebook.

Currently I am in Siam Reap, Cambodia and its my 2nd day.

Yes this is the magnificient Angkor Wat!

Yes I am here!!!

p/s: Was lucky weather was cloudy, not that hot or else I melt already!

Angkor Wat was built using sandstone during the early years of the 12th century by Suryavaram II

Sunset at Angkor Wat

Sunset at Bahkeng

Angkor Wat Night market - everything in US dollar! Well most if not all places in Siam Reap accept US dollar only.


Lots of things to see!

Hungry fish!

I bought some of the local snacks and spices !

The NEW Central Park at Berjaya Times Square KL

Have you visited Berjaya Times Square, KL recently ? If you remembered well, there used bazaar that housed a cluster of kiosks peddling a range of products catering to the lower end market but NOW it's renovated and renamed as Central Park. This will be a new addition to this themed shopping district reminiscent of the glitzy 5th Avenue in the United States.

A very beautiful structure decked in green in the centre of the 3rd floor, Central Park sits on more than 5,000 square feet which contains 40 retail lots in a prime area surrounded by seasoned tenants. It is a blend of modern simple designs and open spaces, these exclusive lots are inspired by the intrepid nature of Mother Earth. Although this is not real green, but looking green is already pleasing to our the eyes :)


During the media briefing, we were ushered to higher floors to admire the uniqueness of Central Park which is it allows shoppers on higher floors enjoy a bird’s eye view of the lush greenery and the products housed within via its transparent polycarbonate ceiling as the warm lights of the mall spill into it, giving it a forestry feel. Every inch of the walls and columns of Central Park are wrapped with greeneries and thus resemble the English cottages of yore.

I was told Central Park also serves as a platform of opportunities for young entrepreneurs to set up their businesses by helping them create a nice and conducive environment. Some of the notable tenants which invite you to put your quirky cap on include Macco Gifts which carries a range of pouches and accessories for smartphones, Shuz Box which tempts girls to put their best foot forward, literally and Planet Popcorn which serves a yummylicious snack that is the talk of the town.

Many fashion bargains can be found here!

After the short media briefing, we were told there will be media pampering session for us to enjoy. A very nice gesture by Berjaya Times Square to thank the media for their support.

First we were brought to Thai Odyssey at LG floor, near to Cold Storage. One of my favourite massage place but it is kinda of pricey to afford this every week.

I read that Thai Odyssey has been awarded No. 1 in Traditional Thai Massage and awarded as "Best Family Spa" at Malaysia Spa & Wellness Award 2010 by Ministry of Tourism Malaysia! No wonder they became my favourite, because all their theraphist are from Thailand and are really well trained.

We have a head, neck and shoulder massage for 15 mins ! It was so good that I was in heaven!



Next stop Michael & Guys which is located at LG, we can either opt for haircut or just hairwash.

I chose the later one as I wanted to keep my hair long ... thinking to perm it later. Thanks to the Berjaya Times Square arrangement, I have great hair wash and hair do and I was ready to go for a date after the event :D


That's all for now, do remember to check out the new Central Park at 3rd floor Berjaya Times Square. Definitely you will find some good fashion bargain here :)

First Day in Siam Reap - An epic dinner at Tonle Sap

I stayed in Rithy Rine Angkor Hotel, book through Agoda.com

Love the swimming pool here, clean :)

p/s: I did went for a short swim :)

Breakfast in hotel. Yummy...fried rice with pork. I like their rice its so chewy!

We reach hotel around 9 something and hotel told us to have our complimentary breakfast first as our last day flight is very early and we would have to miss it. How thoughtful they are!

A tripple room cost us RM146/person

After a rest, we called and booked a sunset dinner cruise at Tonle Sap, which starts at 3.30pm. They came and picked us up in an air-condition van.

Half way pass through a very big lotus farm, we asked him to stop to let us go and see and take pictures.

At the jetty , taking boat to Tonle Sap. Here we are told the business are being monopolised by the Korean!

Walking down to the jetty is a bit scarry because there is no real stairs.

Me in the boat. We were told it's dry season so water is very low around 1 feet hence the water you see in the picture is muddy.

We tooked a similar boat like this too!


Along the way, saw a lot of floating houses at the canal heading to Tonle Sap.


Their life is quite simple. However we even saw school and church floating on Tonle Sap.

During dry season these people live on the Tonle Sap, and during wet season, they have to move to the canal.


Oh yes, they even rear pigs on Tonle Sap. Ewwww.... someone ever fall into the Lake, must have died of infection instead of drowning!!!...

First stop at Crocodile Farm & Catfish farm.

p/s: Guide said the crocodiles rear here will be exported to China market to make leather products!

Saw mother bringing their children with pythons on their body. Asking tourist to take photographs with them for some money.

This little girl keep looking at me hoping I would want to take pictures with the pythons. But no way, I don't like snakes !

This is their life, trying to survice. Children are asked to hold the pythons as if it's their toy!

It was about sunset.

Boarded on the big ship/cruise and just shortly dinner was served. I had an epic dinner! It's not a sunset dinner but a thunderstorm one! Rain is heavy and lots of thunderstorm, everyone was drenched but we still sat and have our dinner and chatted... Someone even said it's like our Last Supper. It's indeed an experience that I will never forget, well worth the USD33/person we paid for !

I'm going to visit Angkor Wat, Cambodia!

(picture from google)

This would be my 3rd trip of the year and now I am on the way to Siam Reap, Cambodia for 5 days 4 night trip with another 2 girlfriends! Have heard so much about Angkor Wat and finally I will be there to see this one of the 7 wonders of the world !

While this Angkor Wat structure is stil standing strong, I knew I gotta visit this now before it is gone!

To beat the heat, I will be wearing white shirt and apply lots of sunblock!

See you girls again next week !

p/s: There will be scheduled post to entertain you guys meantime :)

Miss you people, xoxo!

Zombies In Malaysia?

Seriously Zombies ????

Zombies roaming on the streets of Malaysia? RUN RUN RUN!

WAIT, since Zombies is real ?

Should we freak out or should we just scratch our heads over this one? What’s more eyebrow-raising is the fact that they’re Blue Zombies! Hmmm… Somehow, we can’t help but keep watching! It’s pretty entertaining and hilarious!

But it shouldn’t be any wonder if these creatures come to live because The Cranberries (my favourite band!!!!!!) – the band that got everyone to sing “Zombies” at the top of their lungs while furiously strumming their air guitars – are coming to Malaysia! And these zombies (one of them is me) are practically dying to grab those tickets for the band’s concert in KL!




Ohhhh....I want to go watch this !!!! Who want to go ??
I wan scream out my lung singing Zombieeeeeeeeeeee



Even if you’re not a zombie, you’d still want to watch this legendary band. After all, The Cranberries was one of *the* biggest and most successful rock act in the 90s, selling over 15 million albums in the US alone! Fronted by rockalicious Dolores O’Riordan, the band rose to height of their fame with their debut album “Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?”, spawning hit singles like “Linger”, “Dreams” and the infamous “Zombies”.

So it’s only fitting that zombies are rising to catch The Cranberries live in concert at Stadium Negara, Kuala Lumpur this 4th April 2012! We’re sure out of the 8000 audiences that will be attending the concert, there will be more than a few zombies rocking out in the crowd!

It’s A-Live (Concert) and You’ll Love It!


You don’t have to be afraid of the zombies, though. Oh zombies, they just wanna have fun at the concert and you could have fun alongside them while screaming zombie, zombie.. eh eh eh oh oh...
