Have i told you how excited i am?hahahaha. i am very very excited.
i keep telling myself. just one more shift of work and i'll be flying off. Of course after my exams lah..which will be over on thursday!
and this time next week, i'll be in siem reap, all templed out. probably half day and half asleep in my guesthouse.
finally finalised my itenary. thank god i found a really good place to stay in phnom penh. it has been a crazy week, trying to confirm hotels within my budget. no point paying so much when i'm travelling alone. but i told myself, though i'm probably only staying in the hotel at night to sleep and will be out pretty much the whole day, i definately need a guesthouse with a good safe enough location, within 20usd and of course has to have a television. i dont even mind if there is no aircon as most guesthouses come equipped with either. but after getting some feedback, a television is definately a must. especially since i wont be bringing my laptop over. so i do need some form of company or entertainment.
yay.
so yeah went a bit out of my budget for the hotel in phnom penh. my uncle told me to get a proper form of lodging in phnom penh cos the place hosts the world's biggest mafias and drug dealers and they usually do their business in small time hotels, so he told me to be a abit more cautious there. siem reap is safer than bkk he says. so thank god i extended my trip in siem reap.
i cant wait to meet laura too! she's this super nice girl i met on a cambodia travellers forum on facebook. we both realised we were travelling alone and were gonna be around the same area but she's gonna be based in phnom penh all the way for a volunteer project, so we agreed to meet up for drinks.
meeting kavi tmr. we're going shoppping! and i am craving for onion masala thosai. hahaha :) since we're probably gonna end up at mustafa cos i need to change money, why not huh kavi? :) thosai, vadai or me? hahahaha.
pleasant surprise this morning when i ended work and opened my locker. dove chocolates. hahahaha with a bad throat but WHO CARES! i ate it anyway. :)
work. sucks. period. more and more political everyday and sometimes the way the young guys talk. gosh. they really gossip much more than girls. but who cares again? i have one more shift. and i'm not gonna see anyone nor hear from anyone for 7 whole days!
yay me.
need to start packing now.

what the hell is happening to the world today?first it was the mumbai bombings..and now some asshole of an arsonist sets wild raging fires in Australia? one of the only countries that has been relatively peaceful till now?
i mean 181 people dead. and they're all innocent. mothers. kids. and even animals. wildlife endangered animals.
how much of a heartless bastard can he be?
..
..
In case you dunno.. taken from http://www.msn.com/, Local CFA firefighter David Tree shares his water with an injured Australian Koala at Mirboo North after wildfires swept through the region. real sad.
ahh. thats why i always tell my mum. its never safe anywhere. when u least expect it, even the safest nation may be under threat. look at the psychos in the world nowadays. she thinks that im crazy to go to cambodia alone. but look at the millions of backpackers in the world today. at least half of which are females. u gotta take care of your own safety thats for sure..and of course be careful especially at night blah blah. whatever i would apply here i would apply there as well. and no clubbing. especially NOT alone. hahaha
thats why..on a lighter note..you should travel more! explore wads left of the world before it gets destroyed. :)
which is why i'm so happy..cos i've got exactly 8 days! this time next week i will be on the bus on my way to Siem Reap! can't wait can't wait.
so many things to do..so little time.
