CAMBODIA!!!!

CAME BACK FROM SIEM REAP-CAMBODIA, EXACTLY 11AM TOUCHDOWN AT CHANGI AIRPORT.
I LOVE CAMBODIA!!! IT'S SOOO FUNN((: HAD A GREAT TIME, REALLY ENJOYED MYSELF THERE.
THE FIRST DAY WE CAUGHT THE SUNRISE(IN THE PLANE) AND THE SUNSET(AT THE TOP OF THE ANKOR WATT TEMPLES) CLIMBING UP WAS SUPER FUN... TREKKING DOWN WAS EVEN MORE FUN.. AND GUESS WHAT? THERE WAS A PUDDLE ON TOP AND I COULD SEE THE MOSQUITO LARVAE SQUIRMING AROUND IN IT. THEN THERE WAS THE TEACHING AND LIBRARY CREATING AT TAPANG PRIMARY. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT WAS FUN. ESPECIALLY THE PAINTING OF TABLES WITH OUR BARE HANDS-LITERALLY. THERE WERE NO BRUSHES, SO WE USED OUR HANDS. SEEING THE FINISHED LIBRARY WAS LIKE-WOW!! THE KIDS THERE WERE SO SUPER CUTE AND THERE WAS THIS GROUP OF TINY LITTLE BOYS WHO WERE SITTING IN A CORNER LAUGHING CUTELY FOR NO APPARANT REASON. ALSO, THEY LIKED HANING THEIR PHOTOS TAKEN AND AGAIN, WOULD GIGGLE CUTELY. THEN THERE WAS THE SHOPPING, AND BARGAINING. THAT WAS FUN. THE FOOD THERE WAS NICE. ALTHOUGH FOR THE FIRST DAY NOBODY WAS USED TO THE FOOD THAT WE ALL THOUGHT DILUTED ROSE SYRUP DRINK WAS HEAVEN. GOING TO THE SUPERMARKET WAS HEAVEN TOO. THEY HAVE LOTS OF ANIMALS ROAMING AROUND ON THE STREETS-DOGS,DUCKS, CHICKEN, COWS, BUFFALOS ET CETERA. AND THEN THERE WAS THE NICE HOTEL-CHANGED 3 ROOMS(LONG STORY), AND LASTLY THERE WAS ROSIE(WHO WASN'T ALL THAT FUN) AND THEN THE GOSSIP, FIREWORKS AND ANOTHER EXCITING STUFF. IT WAS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I EXPECTED CAMBODIA TO BE. I LOVED THIS TRIP=D

Hols

The holidays have finally begun!!!
Watched stardust on thurday!!!! It was marvelously nice!! And uhh.. peachy:D And the captain was bloody cute(: *eeehh*
We had to go to 3 cinemas to find places and in the end we didn't even get to sit together. *Can't wait for the movie marathon next month:D
On friday, we had combined dragon boating with crescent girls' red cross. It was FUN! I really enjoyed it, I hope I will get to oppurtunities to dragin boat.. Whee!! After that Luth and I had to rush to Macpherson to meet the person in charge at the old folks home. It was VERY difficult to catch a cab while standing at the roadside of the highway. Is it illegal? I'm not sure. Anyway, I finally managed to confirm a home visit. That's one mpre thing done. YAY.
Today we went for the remembrance day at Kranji War Memorial and Labrador Battery. I woke up at 5am today!! I think it's the earliest I've ever woken up on a Sunday. It was a bit boring and my legs and shoulders were very sore from standing in that slope for an hour in 'senang-diri' position, but it was quite meaningful.
Tomorrow's job attachment day! Hooray!
Songs stuck in my head today: Indian thriller song, D is for Dangerous


Proof of how crappy the quiet and (you might think she was) emo bookworm Shahiylia can be: (no offence Shahiylia!)
Read from the bottom and go upwards.
shah: OH GOD. How could I have effing missed him!? There's another captain in my life I failed to mention, sorry dearie: Captain Basch fon Ronsenburg

shah: He's a man. They're both men. HAHA.
9 Nov 07, 10:22
shah: For all you innocent unassuming people out there, do not presume Bellimai's a woman just because of the feminine name.
9 Nov 07, 10:20
shah: Since I've already flooded your blog I shall now make my leave. Oh, Captain William Harper goes with Bellimai Sykes in the end. And they did it too. And nobody died. WOOHOO.
9 Nov 07, 10:20
shah: And now...Captain Shakespeare. Yes. That's his name. I just googled it. =)
9 Nov 07, 10:19
shah: So many captains in my life, so little time. There's Captain Jack Sparrow, and then Captain William Harper from Wicked Gentlemen, Captain Jack Harkness...
9 Nov 07, 10:17
shah: Something's obviously going on b/w the both of 'em.
9 Nov 07, 10:17
shah: And Victoria's pissed off expression when she saw? GAYDAR PINGING. (not that it hasn't already pinged long ago)
9 Nov 07, 10:16
shah: My love for the Captain knows no bounds...what's his name anyway? I LOVE HIM. And did you see the wink he gave Victoria's husband at the end of the movie?
9 Nov 07, 10:15
shah: Sorry. Going a bit Stardust mad.
9 Nov 07, 10:14
shah: ARRRR ARRRRR
9 Nov 07, 10:14
shah: I can't believe how strict RC is. I mean... the juniors have to call you Ma'am even ONLINE???
9 Nov 07, 10:13
shah: Fine. I can see the suspense is killing you so I shall tell you...ERE'S SHAH!

anon: WHOOOPSIE. Double posting. Yes. The choice of using whoopsie was deliberate. (starust reference!) If you still haven't guessed by now then I'm severely disappointed.
9 Nov 07, 10:11

OK Shahiylia, I'll just reply to you lamely with one BIG smile. Does that freak you out? Haha.. If you're screaming over the captains, I shall scream over them, and make weird 'eeeehh~' noises with you. :D Laughs
