Less than a week to CNY! Whee!
As usual, I’ll be doing the cooking for the reunion dinner and this year I’m gonna do something unusual. Instead of eating rice like what we’ve did for fast erm.. 4-5 years, I’m gonna swap the rice for noodles!
Mum was abit tension when she heard bout me wanting to do noodles cz she knew I never cook that type of noodles before. So, she asked me to do a trial today. I agreed as we’ve been eating out for weeks and I’m quite free recently. Kaka!
Once I got home, mum already asked me to start cooking which I deemed it was rather early. Nonetheless, I obeyed her – taking my own time taking out the ingredients, cutting them up, marinade the meat. Reason : I knew I can cook this up in within 15 minutes.
Ingredients for my stir-fry egg noodles – broccoli, garlic, crabsticks, chicken (which I’ve marinated) and egg noodles.

Another 2 weeks to Chinese New Year! This weekend gonna make my favourite snacks – don’t know what’s it call but it’s the small roll thingy that contains sambal prawn. Sedapssss! <3
Before I start, I need to warn you – this post contains lots, lots photos! This place is different from the other temples we’ve covered. This needs our physical strength.
Hidden up in the hill of Kulen, tuck away from the city of Siem Reap, there is this popular retreat place for the King in the past, and also the hiding place for Khmer Rouge troup during war.

The place is known as Kbal Spean.
Kbal Spean is not a temple, nor a building constructed up on the hill of Kulen. It’s a carved riverbed. You might be thinking, whyon earth we had to climb a hill since it’s a carved riverbed. Well, that’s a food for thought then. Kaka!

On a fine day of 23rd December, I received an email from Astro saying that I’ve won consolation prize for the contest hosted by History Channel which I joined long time ago.
I was hoping to win the grand prize which is a trip for 2 to either Sydney or Tokyo worth RM10,000 (must be dreaming right? haha) but then I know it was kinda hard since I am kinda bad in writing slogan. So, nevermind… At least I’ve won something! Yay!
The email stated this..
Here is the prize that you have won yourself:-
A HISTORY Channel Travel Bag
We will be sending you an official letter together with your prize as stated above via courier by 30 January 2009.
The delivery came when I was having fun in Bali. However I only know bout it yesterday cz mum forgot to inform me about it.
So I immediately took out my DSLR and snapped picture of the prize!

It may look small, but when you unfold it, a travel bag revealed!

And my, the amount of things I can store into the bag! I can put in my jeans, shirts, dress, toiletries, and even slippers in! Niceeee!

It feels so nice to win something from a contest, albeit a small prize. Well, better than nothing right?
