4 Sep, Waterfall At Phnom Kulen

After the temple visit, it was time for wild wet fun!!

The upper part of the falls
Had a nice time just sitting that and letting the water massage my back!

Silky

Drip Drip

Its really out of the way.. Not even much locals come

Lunch.. Roasted Kampong scrawny Chix with a huge tub of rice

Kids playing by the bridge

My Drink!

My nuaing place

Flows from high to low

Down the rickety stairs

The Waterfall of Phnom Kulen
My First view of a natural waterfall.
Freezing water!!
Had a real good swim in there, let the water gushes down my back...

Man and Nature

This is Phnom Kulen from the ground..

Ominous Presence

4 Sep, Journey to Phnom Kulen

The traveling time to Phnom Kulen took 2 whole hours and up the treacherous slopes.

Heart Shape in the sky

While scaling the mountain, a scene out of Narnia or Lord of the Rings

Those rocks means we are going higher and higher

Yes, Phnom Kulen is mine-infested, but still pretty safe

Lesson in army, the higher you go, the bigger the rock

Wonder if he is pissed with me with wanting to stop all the time to snap pics

Soothing Scene

Firstly a temple visit, Temple on huge rock


While walking up to the temple, there were elderly and child beggars hence I decided to be a bit generous :P

And its really hot,
PS: Its not my "eee" smile, its my reaction towards the scorching sun.


Roundabout view

View from temple

Main Highlight

Lil gal that looked after our shoes while we walked up the pagoda

Pure?

Undecided

Remember Uma and Linga?
Here they are together... So Linga represent phallus, not sure what it is?
Go check the dic (no pun intended)
And Uma represents female reproductive organs.
See the connection? (no pun intended again)
I'm lazy to type out what it is, so go wiki it alright.

This... is actually a well in rock

Ancient medication

3 Sep, Acupuncture massage session, Finally.. end of 3 Sep

WARNING: Camwhore pics alert..

Finally... After all the temple visiting, I decided to soothe my body with a 60 mins Acupuncture Khmer massage for USD 6. =D

So as I stepped in the room, I was stunted...
.
.
.

3 massage beds at a go...
.
.
.
.
and I had to wear something I haven't worn in 20 years

PJS!!!!
.
.
So the massage session started and as I relax myself with mandopop from 1 and a half decade ago... Something funny happened which caused the following reaction...
.
.
.

My starved stomach GROWLED Freakingly loud in the echoey room which made the masseur LOL.... Freaking paiseh..

Revitalised and ready for dinner~~

Comfort Food Time!!

Mama Lynn wanted to give me a birthday treat and brought me to Bukit Timah Shopping Centre, and in this ulu little shopping centre,
there is a cosy cafe, that sells homemade pastries and cakes.
Bake-for-passion kinda food =D

My Lil Cafe & Bakery

Nicely done up decor.. Makes you relaxed and right at home
.
.
.

The owner, Mdm Marina, was an interior designer by profession for 19 years,
hence she got taste! Right down to the little stuff (cool looking glass vase)=D
She was a very very nice hospitable host, does not seem that you are entering a shop, more like you are in a nice auntie's house having high tea, lazing and chatting the day away...

First sweet treat that caught my eye... Mixed Berries Cheesecake!
Not too heavy, absolutely creamy and heavenly

Brownie!!
Its freshly baked and still hot! Fabulous mouth watering delight.
Her recipes changes weekly so the brownie won't be the same next time you visit!

My English Breakfast Tea with Fresh Milk
Love the cup!

The shop is located at Bukit Timah Shopping Centre, B1-25. 11am to 9pm
You can let her know that Mike recommended you =D
(I get no referral fees, just in case you were thinking about it)
She has her own bakery class too!

PS: Mdm Marina thought Lynn and I were brothers and sisters... LOL.. And I was the younger brother.. Hahaha, Lynn was so pissed when I keep calling her "JIE".
And she was so enthu on wanting to introduce some nice girls to me haha...
If you are reading this Mdm Marina,
Thanks for the warm company and kind offer!!
I'll visit you soon again..
