First encounter with Cambodia

Out of the 3 places I visited, Cambodia is actually my favourite one...even though it doesn't have my favourite beaches.... ^_^

She, makes me feel that how lucky and blessed I am...how much I should treasure and cherish of what I am having around me...

I don't need to beg people for buying things from me when I was young; I don't need to wait at the tourist attractions under the big sun, and run towards those tourists for money or candy...; I don't have to skip school and came out to work as a massage girl when I was 18 yo...; Yet, I had barbie dolls, I had all the loves, I had laptop when I was 18yo, I had managed to go to primary school, sec sch and even university, and so graduated...; I had no need to worry about where the money comes from before I start working and get my own money....... this is how lucky I am...

Everytime I heard this, my heart melts....

"Jiejie, one dollar one dollar.... Jie Jie, buy from me. $1.00..beautiful...and you beautiful too....Jiejie, give me tang guo (as in candy)..Jie Jie........." ...(you see, they learn all this when they were young);

we?? we said,
"ma, give me RM5.00, i need to pay for the books" ...
"pa, time to give the bus fee...RM30.00"
"ma, I want to buy this barbie dolls/power ranger" (please note: we did not ask for permission)
"pa...I want to have a party on my 18yo party"...
"ma, can we go Genting Highland for holiday"....
"pa... I want to buy iphone.. can you sponsor me??"



Cambodia: beautiful place, with a very sad story......
