Back in Cambodia for a different reason..and with 20 primary sch kids but feeling more alone than the previous times..
Found this cheap place which only costs USD0.50 per hour so I decided to blog everyday since its opposite my guesthouse..

I realize I do miss Cambodia..especially the people..
Saw mr kao..woah..he has slimmed down a lot and has lotsa white hair..think he’s overworked..=( dunno why leh..whenever I looked at mr kao, always reminds me of my Cambodian father..

Mr Kao, Edward and I sat down at Princess Angkor Hotel to discuss over some things and Edward kindly offered us breakfast. I thought it was a nice gesture and that we can have a free meal..but we were charged USD7!! Disgusting. “there’s no free meal in the world”

Cambodia’s receiving lotsa support from foreigners..when I was at the airport, I saw a box wirting “donations to kg phluk”.wanted to find out who the box belongs to but I din get a chance..met these 2 girls who brought some donations to give away..so she wanted to get the contacts to me to pass to..hmm..den Mr Kao brought me around to 4 places and all these areas have been touched by Singapore..

The first one was Tapanng. Got this uniformed group of red cross, npcc and girl guides just came..shared with teachers (31 teachers, whom Mr Kao, gathered for them) first aid knowledge..den set up the library for the kids..but the sad thing is cos they add with styrofoam boxes, the boxes had resulted in some kinda land pollution behind the school..

The 2nd one was Stung. Stung has 2 adddiotnal schools built by Greenridge and one other school. The 3rd one is Cheong Mun which has an additional classroom built by Assumption..hope I din get the facts wrong.

The last one was this Training Center for the Street Kids and Orphans. Mr Kao said he helped to collect the kids too. Greenridge secondary school was there to build a classroom.only there for about 5 days.thity over students to build a smaller classroom than ang chagn chass.i asked the teacher how to engage all the 30 over students.she said they did but I din get to see la.and she kept on emphasizing that it’s a difficult job. (ya..i know..) but i was touched..touched by the bonds that the students shared with their Cambodian friends..suddenly realised that i missed that kinda feeling..

Mr kao brought me to a Cambodian wedding today! So happy.its my first time going to a Cambodian wedding but the photos I took all sux.my camera can’t take night scenes..
Some interesting things..the style is like the Chinese style wedding dinners..but its only applicable to the rich people tho..the groom was from the military so of course they are rich..if not, it would just be some makeshift shelter and blast loud music..

Some interesting facts..they dun start at the same time for everybody..once your table has 10 people, the dishes will start coming in..once u finish, u can leave..a total of 8 dishes..hmm..let’s recall, the first was a cold dish, den some cold meat with raw vegetables, den some fried fish cake, den some fired mixed vegetables, den fish, den tom yam soup den fried rice/rice..got one missing..forgot what it is liao..anyway the things all a bit sour..
The bride and bridegroom almost dun eat and they keep changing their attire..oh and Cambodians like beady and glittering stuff..they issue envelopes to the table so that you put money in accordingly..similar to ang pow but this time round they give the “red packet”itself..
The most interesting thing is that whoever wants to drink has to initiate cheering with the rest..so lame..and cos I pai seh to cheer, I would just not drink lor..but initially, I forgot about it so I just accidentally drank a few times..
