Budget Trip - Siem Reap, Cambodia.

I totally missed out on April. I guess there was too much excitement and also the fact that I've forgotten that I've a blog. Last month, I went to Siem Reap, Cambodia, with a bunch of colleagues. I wasn't expecting much because I knew nothing (then) about Siem Reap, Angkor Wat and the temples. Upon arrival, everything became an excitement, especially the figurines, carvings and the artistic designs on practically everything. The weather was hot and dry which explained my wire-like hair for a few days and my tanned skin. Luckily no sun burn or anything hehe. Visiting the temples was an awesome experience. There was a lot of walking, hiking and climbing involved and I'm proud to say that my little bottle accompanied me all the time! I'm a hippo so I cannot run out of water. That, you need to know. There wasn't much shopping cos we were (me, especially) on a budget trip. So, bought some fridge magnets, deco stuff, and some pants and a shirt for myself. In total, I've spent around RM7xx on that trip itself, including flight tickets. I felt proud of myself and guilty at the same time cos the money could be saved up for my wedding. But I seriously needed a break and the flight ticket was bought last year when Air Asia had a promo. Being in another country made me realize how beautiful Malaysia really is (minus the stupid political issues). The weather (not always), the water, the air... No! I think Miri is far better hahaha. Can feel the zen-ness. Despite the ugliness, it's still in a way beautiful when there's nothing to appreciate. Wahahaha.
