Hooray! I am going to Melbourne!
My team trip..hehehe....even though its just for 3D 2N..but good enough for me as I haven't been to Melbourne before!
anyway, an all sponsored trip is the best!
Too bad my time there will be so short, if not I would make sure I read blogs to see whats nice to see, eat and shop there!
Well, I suppose I can still do, just in case there is any free and easy time!
Any suggestions, people?

O M G! Superdelicious Western Food!!!
This is a MUST HAVE western food from me in Singapore!
It is so YUMMY and best part of this place is that IT'S SO CHEAP!!!
It's none other than BOTAK JONES!
Botak Jones Slogan= DAMN GOOD FOOD AT A DAMN GOOD PRICE
and it's so near to me yet I only found out about it yesterday!It's practically in front of my flat!
Not only that, food there is GUARANTEED AS WELL!
It has appeared on many newspaper articles and magazines!
Even the Time Out magazine write about it too!!!
So which also means, A LONG WAITING TIME! Actually okay lah, i waited for around 20 minutes, quite normal for Singapore standard! But ITS ALL WORTH IT!
Don't pissed off!
you can look at the dummy set while waiting!
their famous fish and chips (Which we didn't try) but I think i will definitely try next time!! check out the portion!
Botak cheez burger
not happy with their service/food? Call the BOTAK Hotline!
check out some of the facts while waiting!
here comes our first dish, the Italian Pork!!! We didn't order the set though..
description from the menu
the inside! SO DAMN GOOD!as good as the Chirozo sausage from Jarrod & Rawlins
must eat with this! Imported Mustard from USA!
We also ordered the Cajun chicken! I tell you, first the chicken breast is so tender and juicy, then the coleslaw tasted good as well, lastly the fries oh the fries, I never tasted fries so fresh!!!
last word: I AM GOING AGAIN, FOR SURE!

Giant Trees aka. Ta Phrom!
Supposed to update this long long time ago...but HERE IT IS!
No words can describe how amazing Ta Phrom is....One have to be there to experience the wonders of the nature!!! And what the wonders of the nature did to Ta Phrom! It is in fact, slowly destroying the structure of the temple! Roots of the trees, ie. the Silk Cotton Tree and Strangle Fig is so gigantic and it has the ability of crashing the stones of the temple!

I have a dilemma when I was visiting Ta Phrom! On one hand, it is quite an amazing experience to see the power of nature but on the other hand, i feel pity that the temple will soon collapsed due to act of nature!
how long can this tiny door lasts?
the ruins
gigantic tree roots on the corridor stones
visitors are even prohibited to enter some areas of the temple
This one is the largest of all!!!
er, this one is huge too?
can you see the war between the two trees?
You guys might not be able to guess how big are those tree roots by looking at the pictures. But just exactly how big are the roots actually?
DANG DANG!!! its HUGE!
That's me for you! I don't wanna get dark that's why I am dressed like that :p
Again, you have to go there and see it, experience it!I hope my post will strike your interest to go there!
That's all from me on Ta Phrom!
Have a nice Sunday people!!!

Discrimination by Singaporean?
Well, after working in Singapore for almost two months now and based on my experience..
There are small group of people which is causing the problem!
haha...thanks for listening to me ramblings...!
Oh ya... I have recoloured my hair yesterday!!!
ITS NOW OFFICIALLY RED!!!
What do you guys think?!Taken in my room!
my seat!
haha my roommate's aquarium! He is very nice to me one...
HAVE A NICE WEEKEND PEOPLE!!!
I will try to post some nice food tomorrow!
YES...by only a small group of Singaporeans.....!!!
..only those young generation.
You see, sometimes it's just the way they look at you or talk to you. They think that I am stupid is it?
Some can pretend that they don't know you even though you have been introduced or you have talked to them before! It's like when you start talking in Malaysian ascent, they look at you one kind!
Anyway, does it mean that there is something wrong the education system or it's just particular group of individuals who are acting that way?
haha...thanks for listening to me ramblings...!
Other than these people with attitude, I am blessed to have nice people around me as well!!!so, who cares about them!?
Oh ya... I have recoloured my hair yesterday!!!

oh ya..and recently I have been addicted to shopping!!! Last week I spent $200! Gosh...But I love all the stuff I bought so much!
HAVE A NICE WEEKEND PEOPLE!!!
I will try to post some nice food tomorrow!

To all the Pork Lovers!
Today I shall continue sharing with you guys food I had in Singapore for the past two weeks!
First up, Cafe Cartel
stumbled on this restaurant when we went to Plaza Singapura for movie one day, decided to return again to try their pork ribs.. YUM YUM
We went there SPECIALLY for THIS!
the REAL thing!!! I TELL YOU, its damn good!!!
IT's better than Tony Romas, and guess what?! It gets better because it is only $12.90!!!Apparently, it's the 25th anniversary or something!The meat is so tender, juicy and well marinated! They barbaque it to the perfect condition and there you go!Such a big PORTION!
You can top up $3.90 and you will get free flow of bread, soup of the day and peach tea/lemon tea/soft drinks!
We also have this spaghetti, its rated MUST HAVE in the menu so we also gave it a try! It was not bad lah but not as good as the pork ribs! Not too much chicken inside although the spaghetti smells good!
Interior of the restaurant
But i gotta warn you guys, there is always long Q! need to wait for min 10 mins but am sure after you tasted their pork rib, its so worth it!
Must try if you guys are over here!!!
camwhore picture for you guys before I sign off
HAve a nice weekend people!!!

Finally, post on Angkor Wat!
I have been sitting on this post for sooo bloody long!
Luckily today I am home early...!
Bad Weather when we got there! AWWW.....
The poor horse needs to take shelter under the small tree too!
We had to take shelter at the covered corridor at the entrance
nothing to do, take picture first!
This is us trying to take a picture of the amazing reflection while it was still raining! HAHA
After about half an hour, the rain finally stopped!!!We proceed to enter Angkor Wat!
You notice whats so strange about this photo? YES! Certain parts have been touched more than the other part of the fairies! YUCKS Hamsap Lo!
The King stays up there!!! So difficult to get up there, you must be thinking!
I don't think the King need to walk up everyday rite?
No access allowed. According to our tour guide, there was an old man who fell halfway coming down from the staircase and after that the Cambodian Government closed the access as they are trying to build a proper staircase for access in the future!
Fairy again!This place is so blessed!
Look! They already have proper drainage system since it was built long time ago!
more pictures!
Me..
simply spectacular!
Entrance
After visiting around Angkor Wat, we went to take photo of the famous reflection again! This time it was much clearer without the rain!!!
Me AGAIN! haaha..
We then climbed up to some hills to watch sunset!But in the end we didn't to watch also because it was a gloomy day and it rained previously :(
Oh ya it was quite a long way up!
you can see Angkor Wat from the top of the hill!
NEXT UP: Ta Phrom!
