A weekend away in Siem Reap

August Thu 19 2010

It has been a while since I last posted. I haven’t really had that much time for anything except a series of assignments, deadlines at work, friends around, and wait for it… a weekend in Cambodia! Above is one of my favourite photos from the weekend. We spent two and a half days exploring Angkor Wat, eating food, and trying to watch the sunrise and the sunset. We also did a sunset quad bike tour through the rice paddy fields, which was stunning.

But right now I need to turn my attention to (yet another) research paper. Hopefully in two weeks time I will have a more substantial post for you!

Delay you say?

I’ve been wondering what to blog about… Life has been so hectic lately, that there is almost too much to say! Instead let me summarise in a few (?) bullet points.

  • Penang laksa = awesome
  • Penang loh mee = double awesome
  • Last minute business trip = tiring
  • Last minute business trip combined with assignment due dates = no sleep
  • Shanghai subway @ peak hour = not as bad as KL monorail @ peak hour
  • Travel delays = inevitable, frustrating, and please can I shove the woman who just pushed in front of the queue out of the way?
  • More travel delays = tears
  • Langkawi = relief to get off the freaking plane. Now if only I had had time to go home and pack clothes for a holiday.
  • Langkawi seafood = I don’t eat it, but ohmigod, is that really a prawn? How huge is that??
  • Flight home = more delays? Thank God this time I’m with family
  • Home = hot shower. Clean clothes. Heaven.
