Kingdom of Cambodia 31。05。13 (Tonle Sap Lake)

After the visit of Angkor Wat, we backed to hotel for a rest.
Then, we went Tonle Sap Lake during evening for sunset viewing.
Boarding to the boat.






If nobody tells me that's a lake, I will probably tell that that's a sea without end.





 Little S said I have this ability to easily satisfy with 
every little moment/ things in ma life.
Don't jealous!
And sorry baby B for treating you as a couch.


Another stunner:
Tonle Sap lake is the largest freshwater lake in South East Asia. It is unusual for two seasons: its flow changes direction twice a year and the portion that forms the lake expands and shrinks dramatically with the seasons. Thus, the floating houses can be moved everywhere according to the seasons

Kingdom of Cambodia 31。05。13 (Angkor Wat)

Don't really wanted to visit Cambodia but there is this main reason for me to give it a visit where there is the Angkor Wat that as one of the jewel on UNESCO's world heritage list.
It also known as the largest and iconic Hindu temple complex in the world.
The interior of temples are filled with religious carvings, wall murals and countless sculptural decorations.

To visit the temples and other sites within the Angkor Archaeological Park, we purchased a Angkor pass at the main entrance located on the road to Angkor Wat.
20usd for a one-day pass, 40usd for a three-day pass and 60usd  for a seven-day pass.

Now, let's enter to the ancient world of Khmer Empire.

 Such magnificent building!












So, the ancestors used to walk on this slanting stairway.

By the way, we walked too! 
Not so hard afterall.
But of course this one is modified. hahaha.





 Do you see the rainbow ring surrounded the sun.

They called it halo phenomenon.


Look at the roots!
I feel like there are magical tricks hidden.


Our tour guide did gave us a little explanation about the buildings but um... I just don't remember what he said. 

The real stunner according to scriptures, the Angkor Wat was built in 40 years. However, using modern calculations, engineers estimate that it would take 300 years to build such a phenomenal structure in today. 
So, those engineers in old days were way too much intelligence even without the technology!












Valen a.k.a Ms.T's birthday party

I think the birthday party was held 3 weeks ago. A little earlier so that everyone could attend it.

A birthday party at house sounds so traditional I was like backed to the childhood times. Still so fun!
Basically was a barbecue party.
Photo bombed before the barbecue started.
So, let the pictures speak!

Colourful balloons can make girls gone crazy!!

So, here's ya birthday girl.











Yummy yam cake!

The night ended with group chit-chatting...
Boys' talking and girls' talking.
Was a great gathering.

I had known this group of friends since primary/ secondary for more than 10 years.
Everyone is busy with their careers, social life and stuffs.
Even though we rarely have chance to meet together, but friends mean friends.
 That night was just way too awesome. 
Had a really great talk, reminded me some funny stupidity things that we have done during our schooling times.
All thanks to Val for holding the party.
