greetings from cambodia!

right now at an internet cafe in siam reap town. whoa it has been a good 5 days here and i've experienced much. not enough time to blog about everything..so i'm just gonna crap haha. internet access here is really cheap lar, it's like US$0.75 per hour. right now cos we only have limited time so we'll only be using for 30 mins. plus my dear dear is not online!!! so sad!! :(

the things i've done so far..grocery shopping at the wet market is almost an everyday affair because each group take turns to cook the meals everyday. i cooked my first batch of rice today!!! unfortunately it turned out quite disgusting..hahaha all clamped up together..but everyone still said it tasted good. *liar liar pants on fire* ok lar..it wasnt all that bad..porriagely..haha. anyway i've digressed. now i really know how to appreciate supermarkets back at home, like ntuc, shop and save, cold storage......it's such a hassle to shop in the wet market, and there are flies all over the place..ahh..
the best part of the expedition so far is angkor wat!! it's..majestic..haha..too bad i cant upload the zillions pics that we have taken so far.

staying at a host's place right now. decent place. there are water running from taps, that comes from the well. not allowed to stay on the site where we are building the sch because of security reasons. bugs everywhere. getting red dotted legs. eeek!

we are literally building the sch now. it's just a simple..hmm around 2 roomed structure. we've dug the foundation and are now laying rocks. tough work!! now i know how a blangadeshi feels like....but it rained today so haha...half day off.

anyway..to end off..cos i dont think i have much time left..gonna go shop around for backpacks and stuff..just wanna end off with some thoughts.

i guess when i return back home, i'll still be glad to have hot water running from my shower taps, clean tiled floor to walk on, not having to be afraid of creepy crawlies falling on me in my sleep!..electricity to light up my nights. hhaha one day i might even grumble about little i have back in singapore, but i supposed when that one day when i momentarily forget to appreciate these things i have, i'll always look back upon these days i have in cambodia, and realise how forunate i am..to believe in the simple pleasures in life.

seeing how the village people here live...you know..for some people, the trees, the sky and a few sticks are enough reason for happiness.

simplicity.

bahz.

but i'm a city girl anytime. hahahah..

okok no more time..i miss you dear dear..take care of urself ok? and enjoy urself..i'll be back in no time!
