Cambodia Day 2 & 3

Day and Night View
Drove past the Cambodia Independence Monument a few times...

I met a stray dog. He is soooooooo cute and friendly. :P

The Central Market at one of the busiest street in Phnom Penh.
You can find jewellery, souvenirs, clothing for all, bags, Maps.
You can even find some very detail maps for topography here.

My last meal in Cambodia was this famous beef noodles.
The taste is lighter than the Singapore version.
We had 3 bowls + 2 drinks @ USD4 only.
Pretty cheap i think.

Jay Zhou Concert 2008 in Singapore

I bought the 周杰倫2008世界巡迴演唱會 tickets today.

The Cat 1 Tickets ( S$198 ) was sold out before Sistic open at 10am... duh

The Cat 2 Tickets ( S$168 ) was sold out about 11am...

I queued for an hour and 30mins and finally gotten 4 x Cat 3 Tickets ( S$138 ).

The wait was so long due to the slow internet access to Sistic ticketing system and partly by indecisive people who can't decide where to seat or was buying tickets for friends with many last minute changes of ticket qty...

Ends up i had to treat Dex and Willie lunch as they accompany me in this warm weather for so long. ( damage S$20.50 )

The concert better be good.

Cambodia Trip - Day 1

15th - 17th Oct - In Cambodia

I had a long and tired day on the 15th Oct, abit Jet lag.... and did not rest much with a crying baby on the same flight....Sigh.....
A weary looking me in hotel lobby.
I reached the hotel about 12pm, had a short rest and freshen up before venturing for my visitation.

I was served a welcome drink when i reached the hotel.

( no idea what is it.........but nice and refreshing anyway.. :P )
Le Royal Raffles Hotel Room with 2 Queen size beds. My usual room with King size bed is not available due to an event. ( Notice that the Sadako is trying to creep out from my TV? So scary..... ) I tried the wireless internet immediately, ( 20USD for 8Hours, SOOOO EXPENSIVE ). The signal is strong now, much better than my last trip here.

Luckily i had it easy finding my way around as the driver Ravong is pretty fluent with English. I took my lunch outside Anana Shop. My first taste of Cambodian fast food. A simple set meal with a sandwich, fries and cola. ( not sure it is Coke or Pepsi or Cambodian Cola )

2nd Hand Computer Shop

Anana Retail Shop
Spent the rest of the day visiting Computer Shops, but most of them are 2nd hand Computer Shops.... Sigh

Happy Scooby II

So happy that Scooby took to his new sleeping place so well.
I don't even need to coax him much. He sniffed here abit, there abit and he just walked into it. :P
Initially i am afraid that he will not use it at all.
Lucky he is not so picky.
