First day! I figured I ought to at least start so that I'll be more motivated to actually type out stuffs and reflect proper. Yes, ever since I came back to Singapore, this procrastinating, lazy-ass me just creep right back into me. Like almost immediately. And it was horrible because I think it took me 2 weeks to finally get moving again. I mean yea, I did stuffs here and there but it was still quite horrible. I won't blame it on being back in Singapore makes me like that. But yes, I really need to stop procrastinating.
ANYWAY, so first day wasn't much actually. Lol! It's just me waking up and taking my own sweet time 'cause part of me didn't really want to go. Haha! Ok the reason is actually lame. It's because I wasn't very close to the people that I was going on the trip before the trip. So I was kinda scared that the 2 weeks were going to be really long and unbearable and I will miss my family and friends like mad. Well, turns out I was wrong and I had never been so glad to be wrong ever.
So I had my 2 Indians who came over to my house to deliver breakfast. Heh. The initial plan was to eat breakfast outside together with them and Feli. But being us, we were lazy. I was just reluctant to wake up and leave my bed. Faeqa had to wake up call me. LOL. And I also took my own sweet time eating my Mac Breakfast while Swap was rushing hers through for me. Yes, I know I suck. And I know that Fizla and Swap are kinda incredible. =D
I told them not to accompany me to the airport but them being them, and me being me, I was slightly lying. Ok, I was lying of not wanting them to accompany me to the airport. But I honestly felt bad for making them do it. Like I want them to but I feel bad too. Yep, that's my life. But ok lar fine fine, they are freaking awesome for accompanying me to the airport 'cause my parents were in Malaysia and my sister had to go somewhere also. So no one from my family sent me off. Though yes, it isn't a big deal but aiya, still feels nice to be sent off by at least your family. But it's okay! I had my 2 Indians. I need to stop calling them that but they are still my favourite Indian friends \o/
And also those bitches who wanted to go but never go in the end. But yes lar, I know you all wouldn't mind going if you could wake up and were free to go so you all are awesome too.
We look really terrible but yes I love you guys many many.
And they hate me too 'cause when I met up with the rest, I sort of ignored them. HAHA! Yea like embarrassed by my parents like that. OHYA OMG the best part was how one of my friends thought momentarily that I was adopted by some Indian family. HAHAHA! For a moment lar. But even then, it's actually damn bloody hilarious. Then yea, he became smarter and realised that they are probably my friends instead of my adopted family. HAHA freaking hilarious when you think about it.
So after they said bye to me, we went to check in! Most of our stuffs were hand carry 'cause save money. And yea my bag was slightly heavy and somehow I had a lot of things so yes, super thankful that I had Faeqa and Swap with me to help me carry all those japalang nonsense that I had.
Went inside to have lunch before we board our plane!
Boarded the plane!! I watched 2 episodes of Friends and some other stuffs which I forgot and I wanted to sit and look out of the window while listening to the music but suddenly we were landing. LOL! It's a super fast journey from Singapore to Phnom Penh. Less than 2 hours I think?
Reached Phnom Penh at around 3pm? Ohya! Cambodia is 1 hour behind Singapore. So we kinda gained time when we reached Phnom Penh. Took the luggage and they bought the card so that we can use it for directions and stuffs. And head to our hotel!
We stayed in this hotel which is of walking distance from the learning centre. So it's super convenient and safe for us to walk there in the morning because we had to be there at 7am. And the hotel is pretty good? Just that slightly expensive for Cambodia but I guess safety's first! The staff were very nice and friendly and I really like them.
But they probably hate us secretly for stealing their water everyday. Lol! Yep, instead of buying ten thousand 1.5 litres of mineral water daily, we refilled our 1.5 litres bottles at the hotel lobby. HAHA! Yes, we are horrible. But eh, we did pay for our stay! At first we were quite paiseh to take the water, but towards the end, we just heck it and I think they just accepted that we were just going to be like that and probably couldn't wait for us to leave. Haha! But yea, I still really like the staff. How they remember which rooms we were staying after the 3rd day when we went to the front desk the get our keys. And the doormen would eagerly open the front door for us when they saw us leaving or entering the hotel. And the cooks are awesome too. Morning breakfast! All the omelet and stuffs. Haha! Oh man, I'm missing Cambodia now. =\
And by the looks of it, I think day by day recount of Cambodia may take me forever to finish since there are 17 days and I'm still at day 1. Not even done with day 1. I need to learn how to summarise life probably. But actually, blogging don't really need to summarise lar ah.
ANYWAY, went up to our room to put our stuffs and had dinner at this restaurant which is just opposite our hotel! Brooklyn Cafe. The owner is an American I think? And he stays in Cambodia and rides a motorcycle. And he is very friendly. And super cute 'cause there were flies inside so he was trying to kill it using the swat flies thing. The food is good too!! They tell pastas and pizza and burgers and many other Western food. The portions were huge though. It was quite impossible to finish them but I think we still did. Actually, no, we takeaway quite a lot of food after that. Haha! Joyce was really hungry so she went crazy ordering many food to realise that she cannot finish them. Lol! Super impulse one this girl.
After dinner, we went back to the hotel to chill before we met up with Puspa and Jachin who are the ones in charge of ELIC (Educational Life International Cambodia).
Many things were shared and I think I'll write them in another post. I think I'll stop with Day 1 'cause erm, there are really too many things to say daily. So I'll probably just do a round up post instead of day by day. Since first day we actually did nothing but I can end up typing such a freaking long post.
And I'm tired now too so I shall continue either tomorrow or another day~ But yes, at least I started so I think it should be easier to continue I hope!
