a wound-

"when you have argument with someone & you tell the person bad words, you'll leave the person with wounds"

"it doesn't matter how many times you say sorry, the wound will stay"

~a wound caused by words hurts just as bad as physical wound~

Happy Birthday to Myself ...

it was on august 2nd,, just got the chance to bring it up now-

some of my friends (including work colleaque- which are friends of mine, too) join small celebration, i had ... no bday cake was involved, seems i forgotting this one - whuahahaa....

i even come bit late, so sambath & didier comes first.

Sorry, guys ....

more pictures will be add on friendster & flickr. Thanks for coming, pals! Enjoy!

~ RiverSide ~

as shown above - the place is along the river, where the main attraction of the city placed.

it was a long way to go, strecth from one street to another street-

take me around 1hour to stroll along the river & enjoying the ambience taken place.

it was quite rarely, started with traffic jam surrounding the royal palace- oh, yeah.. royal palace located near the riverside, and yesterday lights were on - take a look at the pict! gorgeous, isn't it? ...

seems that there's guess coming in - visit king & family (mom & dad, for sure - 'cause new king doesn't have wife) .. so (as ussual happen) they block place surrounding, protect whoever coming ... such a paranoid? or such a protection?

front of it, there's big garden - where cambodians & some of foreigners like to take a walk or simply relaxing .. with the accompanion of their lovers, family or simply friends - hang out together. Food easily provide, since lots of stalls spread around .. from grilled chicken wing - fried bird - 'til fried chicken claws! You name it-

(sowry.. dont provide u details picture of each food, i'm affraid all birds will run away to see my flash light)

people sitting on their mat & order their food, place their shoes near them- make sure noone will snap them off and enjoy their meal- Meal? yes, cause most people come to have their dinner here .. so they dont have to bother to cook when they reach home. "Food is cheap around here- and we enjoy watching the traffic " they admit.

... is this a healthy way? none of us know for sure- ...

b'fore i step further, there are 2 pagoda's standing straight in front of palace - they believe that praying inside will give them good luck. But this will apply more on the right side of pagoda, more than others.

You will find out that one of them have more visitor & attraction, compare to others. Wasn't so sure what the plus minus from each place- but that's how its goin on.

when u pray, u need to bring in flower & burn some incense- cost u only 500 riels for those items. Then you go inside pagoda, hand over flowers to the keeper, and start your pray. Done? go outside and plug ur incense stick at places, they provide- ussualy it's 2 big buckets outside pagoda. Be careful not to burn urself, cause the sticks are so many & they still lighten up.

(i would say praying there is quite worthed, been there sometimes ago- answer comes along..good ones)

they believes when u come often, your wish will come faster ..

well, havent got chance to proove it yet ...

further more, you'll see stretch of lights & banner - where all bars, saloon, restaurants taken their place .. to entertain tourist.

it's all in one place - from internet, hair cutting, foot massage, clothes shops, cd/dvd, hotels, restaurant, bars and bars for lonely desperate tourist & locals, too.
As I say: all in one!

there are good places to hang out, somwhoe- despite of man's corner (u know what i mean) ... name it- Metro Cafe .. cool place, good food & there's some more places like this!

yups, cambodia also famous for its happy pizza - with special herb (of course, u do know) ..

go ahead, give it a try!

nite, so long ...

now, this is for u!

this one is for u, out there ...

you keep pushing and pulling me around
keep actin' like you owe me
i keep runnin', i can hear you behind me

i'm already gone, i'm gone

Shut Up!

for all the angry
for every time I need the truth, and you were faithless
disappointment, self depreciation, being lies & fantasies you deceived me

and mystery is concealed
and I’m blaming myself for believing my prophecy with you

I should kiss your dirty lips from bringing me my clarity in

for disrespect, carelessness with my emotions

for giving empty temptation for making me feel like a cheap replacement

all the guilt you make me feel

this time
I forgive you
I must forgive you ..
'cause it makes me feel so high .. so good ..
it feels so good, letting it go …

now that you make me see
all those lies, in every me
all those guilt, you make me felt

'cause .. I feel so good, I let it goYou know I feel good letting it go

as like u can wish...

' I only just thought of it, ' he said hysterically. 'Why didn't I think of it before? Why didn't you think of it?'

' Think of what?' she questioned.

' The other two wishes,' he replied rapidly. 'We've only had one.'

' Was that not enough?' she demanded fiercely.

' No,' he cried triumphantly: ' i'll have one more. Go here and get it quickly, and wish our time alive again.'

Inside the Bus...

Trip was same route as I used to have when goin to vietnam, but this time- I'm trying local way .. goin with private taxi- cost 30 bucks @car, and there're three of us. Road was bad, bumping & jumping.. 'til we got to bavet border.

Stop by at Duty Free Shops, bought some cheap stuff, and ahead to city by local bus- cost you around 1.5 bucks. Of course, it will be far away from convenience bus.

.. no aircon, and unfortunatelly when we got there,, there's no seat left- so we're hoppin on the red "dingklik" in between passangers.

Strange people so ignorance to each other. There's this old man, sitting next to me & un-guilty put up his feet agains me. Fiuh.. what a behaviour lately-

A girl busy eating her lunch, sitting on the floor of the bus- buzzling around people keep walking in front of her, not mention some steps on each others foot.

Few teenagers keep listening to their MP3 with sound stereo all over the bus, not considering their music was quite destructive & drivin me crazy-

A man kept moving his head from left to right, from right to left with his hand waving for air to breathe .. i guess he was just carrying heavy things - cause i aint feel hot at all.

One old man kept his conversation, with others on the phone- loudly and mixed vietnamese & chinese .. shouting, laughing .. seems like he's inside his own cubical office, where people wouldn't even care what he's talking about.

What a day inside a bus-

Children of Cambodia

This is face's of children at Cambodia - most of them are born in poor condition, especially on the country side. It was so surprisingly that they have become such a burden for their family, so their parent got urgently to sell them away.
yeah, this was happen to several family- but of course, there's still part of loving family, too. Taking good care of their children & their education.

Education is much cheaper than what we've thought- but still, the economic wasn' t that good for them- hard to support the family living .. some of the children has to work, in order to get something to eat.

There's one things I haven't find the answer yet; most of the babies are not wearing pants.
Diapers? that I would know how the answer would be- cause it's expensive, but pants?
.. will back to you, once i got the answer ...
