What does your boy do?

Er... he swims, roller blades, bikes unaided and fiddles his violin some. But he does what other five year olds do - watch playhouse disney on cable TV every chance he gets, makes crazy choices like helping himself to his appetiser, mains and dessert at the chocolate fountain, juicing food in his mouth, pretending not to hear anything unfavourable and whinging at anything that requires some effort. There... my boy does ALL that.

Cleaned out...

As a retribution for wanting to chew on them, my intestines went on riot and spat their guts out... so that between Thursday evening and Sunday, I managed to lose 3kg.

The creature bites itself.

If I could take out my intestines to bite them, I would. Something is not very right... patience in the form of waiting for the boy to get changed in the morning, to wear his sandals, get into the car, wear his seat beat, undo his seat belt, get out of the car, get into the lift, get out of the lift, through the school gates, put his shoe in the cubby hole, sit down for health check, sanitize his hand, carry his own bag into the class, has been worn down so thin, it's not only showing what the creature within looks like, it's revealing bits of it - sometimes the snapping fangs that spews out unimaginable threats, sometimes the quick pincers that latches itself to flesh and bone and sometimes like today, its maddness and desire to eat itself.

Cambodia - Day 4 PM & Day 5 (Last Day)

Day 4 pm: Had lunch at a shop near the old market. Think we spent like US$8.50 on vegetarian rice rolls, duck noodles and stir-fried pork with basil leaves and then we went out again with our tuk-tuk and guide to visit the angkor temples - this time taking the bigger circuit route. Visiting Preah Kahn, Neah Pean, Ta Som and Pre Rup before rushing back to see Ankor Wat in the sunset. Dinner at some buffet BBQ / steamboat place that served roasted pig for US$6.50 adult US$3.50 child. I liked their banana flower salad. Very yummy.

Day 5: Breakfast, followed by a US$1 ride to Artisans d' Angkor where you can see craftsman at work in stone sculpturing, lacquering, wood carving and silk painting. From there, we took advantage of their free transport service and made a trip to their silk farm. Somehow, we took a wrong turn, entered from the point of exit and ended up viewing whole silk making process from end to beginning, rather than the other way round. (Very educational but it's hard not to wonder... 1 life for every 400m of silk fiber... how many for a silk scarf? ). We went back to the hotel.The big one packed. The small one fiddled with my iphone... I slept. We went out again for lunch near the old market US$10 on more vegetarian rice rolls, fried eggplant with minced pork, banana flower salad, french fries. Flight was smooth and the little one slept all the way, not even knowing that we had a 45 min layover at Phnom Penh.
