Talk to me

Thursday, August 7, 2008

Finally have the mood to blog! Hahas. Ok. shall talk about the cambodia trip. The time will be in cambodian time.

When we were about to reach Cambodia, I went knowing that I won't be expecting much. The hygenie, the quality of food, the comfort zone etc.

The hotel we stayed at Phnom Penh is 2 and half star de! Normally I go de hotel will be 4 half star and above de. Anyway, we are expected to leave our comfort zone in SG and shou4 ku3 here :) Wasnt too bad lah that hotel, it has KFC at the lobby there and the stuff are very cheap! Lols one box of popcorn chicken is around S$1.20.

Ok I take back my word. This hotel sucks! Tio the corner room then I yi2 shen2 yi2 gui3. Lols how I wish I am not so superstitious XP. The first night cant sleep bcos the night so damned eerie. The room looked so evil when all the lights is switched off. At night still got people scream! Lol make me jump up of the bed sia STFU. In the end watched tv with Matthew at ard 2am. Oh btw my roommates are Derek and Matthew. Derek ran off to Heng Lai there -.-.

(fast-forward)

Morning we were about to go Kampong Cham liao. Got around 5 beggars asking for money. One was breastfeeding her baby while asking for money. Be glad she dint suck her own.

Dint have enuf sleep so caught my nap on the bus as we made our way to Kampong Cham, where the orphanage is. First part of the bus trip, I watched paddy fields until fell asleep. Then came the toilet break. Outside got many people selling fried insects. If not wrong, it is fried cicadas and tarantulas. Got one woman siao one was teasing her friend with a bucket full of live baby tarantulas! Lolx her friend so scared dunno run to where. The people very what oso sia sae charge one photo for $5 i think. Managed to smuggle one photo though :P Anyway dun tink we care.

(fast-forward)

REACHED THE PLACE OUTSIDE THE ORPHANAGE! the orphanage is located at the heart of the "village". Remok-ed(motor taxi) all the way to the orphanage. Butt hurts after the 10 min trip XD the driver BO license de! haven go inside then nearly bang into a shop LOL!

Started the day at the orphange with them presenting a dance. At first we were sitting very far apart and both parties were shy. Then we have games and etc so they got to know more about us and vice versa. Well, some dun really understand English and most of us dun realli understand Khmer and the way to pronounce. One wrong pronounciation and it can turn to another word. Learnt quite a number of Khmer words lah.

Sussdaie: Hello (informal)
Chum Reap Sue: Hello (formal)
Lihai: Bye(informal)
Chum Reap Lea: Goodbye(formal)
muoy: one
pee: two
bai: three
bon four
pram: five

Note: if u read the Khmer version of one two three, it sounds like a vulgar rite?? XD

Met Quert, Moo, Naro and Lee. They are the ones that I always play with. U will never noe their age when u see their height. Later I shall show you the photos and tell you their age. You will be surprised. Surprsingly, I am not surprised. They live in an orphange in Cambodia, a third world country. They only hav 2 dishes for each meal and think they have enough nutritious food? Think again. If you want to ask me what I have learnt, I'm not gonna say it here cos it will most probably be 2pages long. And my reflections will last for a whole 8 pages.

The food eating experience is just not good la! Nono, its not the taste of food, it is the service and behaviour of the waitresses there. I was enjoying my food, until I saw a waitress digging her nose in front of the mirror. I was like "@$*^!@!@!!" WHAT THE HELL LA! Hello madam, I am eating here you noe. EATING! I am not here to see you perform ur deep nose digging performance. Yeah and I dint come all the way from Singapore to see you dig ur HUGE nostrils. Yeah. Thanks ALOT. You have made my day.

What's more, thats not the end. A while later after I have successfully calmed my stomach from not regugitating the food, another waitress was plucking her armpit hair -.-" PUH-LEASE CAN?!?! Wan to do that stuff oso not here lah! I know you hav a lot of body hair, seriously you can flaunt them to others. I know we are customers-cum-tourists but seriously, we dun nid these performance you know.

Yeah, in case you guys have not noticed what I am saying, this is the short version. FUCK OFF.
Yeap, that pretty much summarises it :)

Pictures at the next post :)
