Lunch & Gossips

Lunch & gossips- that 's what goes around ... goes around ...

we're having good time, & foods was good, too- simple arrangement of set up table, full of breeze (plus fan running back of yours - ha3x..) & most of all .. soo piecefull!

It was "Banyan" resto- where u can get 2 bucks for buffet lunch. And we did eat lots, lots of those mango steem?! .... it was really good lunch-

where dreams come from ...

yeah, where do dreams come from? ...

i've got this phrase from the author - keeping me alert for things around me ... especially when day turn dark & eyes closing down, celebrating dreams - inviting dreams coming inside ur mind .. guide u through the whole night ...

do we guide them or they guide us? - shouldn't be both, i guess-

... bad dreams, no one ever want it - not even think about it

... good dreams, everyone loves it - not single things we refuse it

" who is the keeper? ... "

hi, tata ...

".. u dont mean ohhh..nothing at all to me .." - (ringtones) my phone rings ...
'hey, ta2 .. where r u?' her voice shocked me-
gosh, looked over my watch- and i'm late! .. rushly, i reply- will be there, soon!

leave everything behind, carry only my house key - run out to find moto cycle & fly to see them right away ...

well, hello there ... met them in black black dress code ... blend into teenagers w/ their messy graduation party .. suddenly, i felt so old- around these young spirits ...

1st stop of River House -full with these young teens, celebrating their graduation events .. they were seems to come as a big group, & group of kids from well-economic family (as ussual)

2nd stop of Spark Red - rumours said it was for foreigner side .. hmm,seems it was all end up the same. Sucks! Here i took one snap of the stage- during performance last night.
they're having these rolls, where each hour they switch between concert - games - disco .. such a strange arrangement - really sucks!

after tyrin hard to be patient, we finally left & back to "no-other options" RH ...
more people coming, crowded like hell -
met some friends, and some un-expected friends, hmm... (-he's still a tempation, hiihihi ...-)

dance, dance, dance with "beautiful girl" song ... 'til my watch screaming to me - "ta2!! it's 2!! u got to work tomorrow!!"
ups, got to go ....

those little cute ...

lunch today was sort of farewell to my friend .. she's flying to other state of country, to start new life there ... hmmm, kinda remind me 'is my time coming too?'

start with delicious garlic bread, and continue with main course- yumm.... plus blueberry & lime cake + ice cream as dessert!
conversation flow as ussual between good friends .. from work, environment, hottest gossips 'til personal life - it was fun time, we had!

finish? not yet .. still got left over time to catch up with small snap shopping ... we fly over to nearest shop, looking around. First glance, I was catch by this cute little baby shoes - they're so cute & gorgeous ... kept reminding myself, what for I would buy those shoes - got no baby yet, keep myself straight ...
but still, they're so attractive .. some in different colors and styles, too- OMG!

Caught in Act

" yup... come here, u little car - today is my big day! .. " police thought.
" oh, damn .. what did i do wrong? did i pass the traffic light? or is this just my bad day? .." driver thought.

hey, hey, .. friends .. come along- we got new victims ...
all right, pals .. here we come -

"eh, afternoon, sir .. did i do something wrong?"
"oh, no problem .. u just pass the red light -
pass me over your license, so i'll attend it to the court "

... it was hot & sunny that day .. plus the rain seems too lazy to show up & give some of their tears ...

slowly but sure, others are come over to join the conversation, or just pretending to secure the area .. hoping money splash come over to them.

" sir, please- dont detained me, here some to help you ..." with handed over 5 bucks to the police.

"have a good day, pal. Hope to see you, soon"

" ..see u soon, my ass -" driver's thought.

S.O.S please ....

heran banget, kadang orang yang udah ngebuat jahat ke kita, turn back ke kita & act ga ada yang salah dengan hari2 sebelumnya ... bener2 heran!
orang2 sekitar kita setelah sekian lama ternyata cuman cheater, and liar - ga pernah seperti yang kita bayangkan ... apakah mungkin berubah? apakah dunia udah ga jelas? dunia ato orang2nya ?

S.O.S please .. can seseorang disana mengubah semua keburukan jadi kebaikan & magical things?

Stroll Along Cambodia's Street ... (part 1)

strolling along streets in cambodia- ..
sure, you'll find lots of things different back way home, but this is cambodia, people- there's shouldnt be any expectation on how it should be look .. he3x ...

these pictures represent some of popular gas station in town- TOTAL gas station, which dominate in red color & TELA gas station, which opposite color in green.
Each of place got its own boutique shop?! .. or should we call it- stop by place ...
not sure really, how to call it- it's the stop over place, where u can find out ur needs in urgently / short term needed.

well... sometimes they provide some groceries too, but not to be expected!

behind TOTAL gas station, as u can see .. there's giant ?? .. it's water tank of the city-
yups, ANZ is quite popular in here .. they took most of strategic place for their advertising.

in fact, they build up their own teritory around Cambodia so much as well-

you'll find it more than 10 branches inside Cambodia itself. Enough with their promotion- we're getting to other place of interest.

Not all places provide you food, as easily as in Thailand ... it would need certain places or corner where you can find food.

people, next here- selling fruit juice & beef satay!

fruit juice, that they sell is mixed of any kind of fruits available + milk + egg ! ... yummy, taste sort of strange & tickling inside my mouth...

the beef satay, i was mentioned- was more like minced beef & they made it to satay.
they grilled outside, to attrack walkers to stop by & enjoy the food-drinks!

last story for this time, ended up with tryin fast food ala street -

they sell in a motorbike, along with the display itself- kinda creative, though ...

variety from sausages to crab imitation - as in japanese food ... choose n fried at that moment, and you can enjoy it in short time too ...

it took only 500 riels for each stick, which in each stick u'll have around 4 to 5 small pieces.

Weekend with Preap Sovath ...

hiyaaa... you must be wondering, who's Preap Sovath? .. what's so special about him?..
well, first of all - he ain't that handsome looking guy. Besides, he's still a nice guy-
He's one of the famous singer in Cambodia - 30's something & got good looking wife, with kids ..

ehemm.. ehmm... i wasn't really spending time with him .. 'cause i met him while i'm having dinner at his restaurant, on weekend. and later on, i met part of his families, and we have dinner together. ??? it was all by coincidence, i sat on my table & they're welcoming guest (since they open recently) and it flows just like that - we ended up talking & sharing experience and having good time!!

it didn't end up only that night, continues to next morning day - ... i went to visit the hair saloon, whom his sister in law manage it. The place is mixed with wedding clothes rental & tailoring, kinda messy- for my perspective view. But looks that business doin' good!
it was a surprise that most customer of hair saloon are men - so, i end up to be the only women inside! even the hair stylist are men! all of them!

cutting wasn't that bad- in fact, they give me lots of layers.. bit changes on the look, quite okay-
and it was really affordable, only 600o riels .. which means around 1,5 bucks only!
give it a try!

Cambodian Houses

dont you all curious to know what will be differences of houses around the world? i do ...

for example, now i'm living at cambodia- so there's bit story I can tell u about it.
as u can see here, their houses are mostly build up, rather than sides- ...
for money & land issue-

i used to be told that after Khmer Rouge, people are able to get free land, since there's no government yet- so they are free to commit whatever land, where they stand-

houses as build goin up, so there'll be more steps for u to climb- sometimes it's unbelievable how they build their stairs. Some people like it wide & huge & grand stair, some like it small & narrow- makes u big fat people hard to climb up.

floor divides to mezaninne and steps up. ussualy ceiling height on the ground floor can reach to 4m, while the mezannine only left to 2.20m only.
this system goes to the next level - each floor,, they got mezaninne!

glasses always decorate their houses- some house they do with mirror, too...

instead of houses, as I mentioned .. there're still left some traditional one's .. wooden house!
of course this one is sort of the left over from the century & also from financial problem.

wooden house ussualy build around 3,00m up from ground level.

under the house- they used for keeping car, nowadays but bfore they kept their pets (cows, excuse me!) under it.

nowadays, they also build it to be part of the house.

it's kinda hard to accept different taste of each country- like house this one ... my friend even said this house is like a doll house!

you'll find many steps before you can get into the house.
see patch tiles outside, to attract or dis-attrack?
fiuhhh... not easy, u know?!

well, there'll be more houses coming in.
I'm sure there'll be more variety & progress into it - since lots of foreigner & local expats back in town. Sure, they'll put their ideas more.

nothing bad about it- this is cambodia houses normally.

Local Warmth ...

remembering last time, i had a visit to my friend's house- and i'm being served this cool drinks, called Spy. It produced by Thai's industry- I'm sure you all know this one. (havent remember what popular in Indonesia, for something like this) ...well, it' on 2 color as wine (red& white)

Also with these little creatures!!

hihihihi.. some of this creatures got the same name, as my x-bf (with small different pronounciations)

big one taste chunky, while the small one are crispy- of course, they cooked & flavours with spices bfore served.

Bon Appetite!
