When my family was here.....before I headed to Cambodia........






Breakfast at Coffee Bean (one of my favourite cafes)......great poppyseed bagel wif cream cheese......B'Oday (the toasted pannini's always melts my heart when I have it wwif the breakfast brew)......focaccia wif smoked salmon n egg (my sister's favorite)


















When my family was here in August.......it really brought back lots of memories....
got to really appreciate them....when will be the next time all of us having such a good time...such a great weekend.....a moment of argument.....a moment of silence.....a moment of happiness.....
When I was a kid....for sure never think of too much....never ask for more money when they gave enough....never wanna run away from them.......never think of how long-winded they are....
When I grow......I ask for too much when I was given more than enough.....always wanna stay apart from hanging out with them.......always hate talking to them for more than a minute.......
When I work......I never have time to sit down and think about how much I was given......always say I wanna spend time wif them but constantly fail.....always say my cellphone battery's running low when they call.........
When they come.....when I see more wrinkles on my mom's face.....less hair on my dad's head.....haha....I know......we're always chasing time.....always running out of time.......never too late to start....but always too late when you start......





La Bodega Pavilion.....cosmopolitan, Mojito, Kunig Luwig beer.......three of us.........hehe







Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Love the ones who don't just because you can. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a secondchance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Forgive quickly. God never said life would be easy. He just promised it would be worth it.

2nd part.....only releases in September......aih.....

work's hectic here in Cambodia.....not as easy as thought.....but life's better here.....can know through my fresh add-on beer belly........the truth is i prefer here.....only without the gym which i'm paying every month but not going......on the other hand, gaining fat.............

2nd part of coffee...............

Cafe Fresco......opens daily from 7am-7pm........Corner of street 306, Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Available for home/office delivery.........(lies)

Very very very suitable for lazy Sundays brunches.........nice place.......nearby....just down the street from the place I stay......it's realy nice.........filled with things that I like.........all-in-one...............

All-in-one.......life is always like that........comes in packages.....that's how we manage business......let undecisive people choose, but at the same time make the undecisive people's lives harder cuz then they're spoilt wif choices.......
ironic..........

Back to Fresco, what else is so great about it?
2nd home to me......too serious........hmmmm......a place i always wana go and read my book there with drinks i drink more than 3 cups a day..........add-on-----------------recently have gained a sweet tooth..............the cakes n pastries.....irresistable....amazingly loving the ice-cream here too....and blended drinks which are always my 2nd choice......but surprisingly they are awesome........in conclusion....full of great surprises.......din let me down....except for the price of course.......the damn USD.........

Stuff that I've tried here in Fresco.......

Cafe Latte (my all-time-favourite)--------I miss Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Flat white (sometimes I order)----------I wanna have changes sometimes
Mango Haven (very rare order from my list)------------I wanna have more changes
Iced Lemon Mint tea (only when I have severe sore throat and when it's warm)-------I'm having a bad day
Fresh tomato, red capsicum, celery & spices juice (when I realise crisis low level of veggie in my body)------------I can't go to the toilet
Iced Cafe Latte (another all-time-favourite when it's warm)---------I need to cool down
Iced blended caramel (when I share)----------I need sugar, lack of love
Long Black (only with sweet stuff or toast)---------Too much sugar the nite before
Mocha latte (when asked to try, cuz mocha is always a recommendation by the barista)------I have my throat in perfect condition and need chocolate and caffeine at the same time
Hot mint tea (maybe my second drink when I'm having sore throat)--------I wanna have a peace of my mind
Milkshakes (when I'm with kids)-------I wanna stay young forever
Tropical fruitshake/mocktails (when I'm on the beach, but not enough money to order alcohol)-----I wanna have the seaside mood
Freshly squeezed orange juice (side order for breakfast after coffee)-----it's part of the american breakfast
Fresh milk (part of breakfast too)------can't break the american breakfast rules
Soy milk (mostly in my hometown, Ipoh)------when I'm having chinese fried dough or sticky rice
Espresso (never my order)-------I go mad or 5 cups of latte cannot satisfy anymore
Double Espresso (another no no on the list)---------My hands start shaking even I gulped 5 espresso


*still classified under coffee chapter (2) because they're all from Cafe Fresco, which serves perfect flat whites.....and I din mention about the food in this post.

Cambodia (3)

Hmmm......how to start this 1?

I drank on Fri nite.....again.....but this 1 is realy.....hmmm...bad....
Asahi beer, 3 killing Cosmopolitans,Moet champagne, Singapore Sling, whisky.....
Gone.....Sat morning was realy realy sick......puked basically everything dat I put into my stomach.....

But after a long sleep after half-day work, it gets better......ehehehheee...
Self-control, dats what I'm lack of and need to realy learn about it and change.....

Change.....if I can......how I wish I could.....I would'nt have want to make any changes.....
But when one grows, changes actually are already happening....each and every day....

Being in Cambodia, working in a different environment, talking to more new people.....
make me feel realy smal......the world is juz...........so big......so many more things are there, waiting for you to discover them........and when I looked back at all the silly things dat I've done, I realy feel bad......feel bad of realising and growing so slow.......

Sometimes I juz feel dat...why can't we grow up faster?
Why can't we realise before we realise it's too late to realise?
Why can't we do things that we wun regret in future?
Why can't we juz live happily ever after?

This trip.....actualy is kinda a run-away trip.....sometimes we juz need to runaway....and miss the people ard you....so when u find urself tired alredi......u'll come home and look for the right people for treatment.....it's like a package....now my stage is a treatment stage.......

Searching for more.....waiting for more.....hope for more......I know we can't be greedy all the time.....and sadly, I am a greedy person....I always want to do realy a lot of things in my life....and honestly, I'm a person who's never satisfied wif my life.....always wanted more and more and more............

Maybe dats how I create more problems which I dun even realise and for sure, duno how to solve them.

Dats y I said yes to this trip once I was told.............clear your mind and go on.....
I'm already half way there.....but the time I come home, it would be realy gone.....realy.....things are realy gona be all settled......and gone.......

This is the period I gave myself...........dun take too much time.....as life's realy short....dun stop a t a point for too long before u realise it's a waste of time.

As long as I know I'm still breathing, I can still chase for things I want..........
Everything, I want to start it now.....
I don't want to do things that I'll regret again....noy anymore.........

Hence, changes is what I need now..............
If I can do this, nothing can be harder....I suppose............hehe

Even now, here, I got the chance to watch Grey's Anatomy season 4....hehe....continue my crying and sobbing over the episodes....sounds so silly.....these are the things which I dun wana change.....can't change being emotional I gues...........it's not good and healthy to change too much.....cuz then it's not you anymore...........

Keep breathing.....and goodbye to the people once I realy loved.............
My life's getting better.....I believe God knows.....God knows when's the time to offer you the chance when all bad things come together.....it's whether u take it a try or not......

You take it, get over it, you win.
You miss it, ruin it, you lose.

Here we go again, I always wana to win, there's where the greedy personality comes in......
Hehehhheee.....

Even the last phone call, I couldn't help shedding my tears, then I know I'm not fully okay..........
Hope the run-away is gona work out......

Live an inspirational life.........dats wat I want now.......so I'm gonna do this n make sure no regrets......
