轉眼又過了一年。
人生的下半場，遊戲該怎麼玩？比賽規則是否會有些改變？
在有限的能力範圍內讓自己的人生精采，或許是我們唯一能夠做的。
珍惜碗裡的，少盯著鍋裡的，一天一天慢慢學會惜福。
祝大家有個幸福的2012年！

The only thing worth mentioning is perhaps the hotel that I stayed in. A nice hotel room the only thing I look forward to, especially at the end of a long day.

Outstanding Entries
I'm still trying to complete the entries on our Day 3 and 4 Siem Reap trip but I have been too caught up with my role in the weekends - couch potato.

Day 2 Siem Reap
We started the day early today. Met up with the guide at 5 am to catch the sunrise at Angkor Wat. This is one of the "must-dos" so many people were already waiting at the pond area when we reached there.
It was nice but not what I imagined it to be. I was expecting a red egg yolk rising behind the temples. We did not see any yolk but the colour of the clouds changed as the sun rose. Still pretty.
We stayed back to explore the temple while majority of the tourists return to their hotels to catch up on their sleep or have breakfast. Angkor Wat was quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed having it to ourselves most of the time or sharing with some fellow tourists. The climb up to the top was easier and less dangerous with the new staircase. We could no longer use the stone steps which are really steep. Blessing in disguise? Maybe.
We returned to the hotel for breakfast at 9 am and took a long, good rest in the room. For the first time, I took a nap while on holiday!
Met up with the guide in the afternoon for Banteay Srei and Banteay Samre. They are much smaller in size but very nice. We had Banteay Samre to ourselves. It's a gem often missed out by people due to their tight schedule. I am glad we had time for it.
Dinner was taken at Khmer kitchen restaurant. We ordered amok fish, cashew nuts with chicken and baked sweet potato with chicken. As usual, we over ordered again.
It started pouring when we were about to finish dinner. We had sat for a long while before hopping onto a tuk-tuk to go back to hotel. We redeemed our cocktail at the lotus bar and went back to our room.
This is so far the most relaxing trip we had, with lots of free time and ample sleep. Haha!
Tomorrow we are going to Angkor Thom and Ta Phrom. Am looking forward to it! Oh yes, we need to decide on the place to see sunset. Should we go to the less crowded or nicer one? We have one night to decide.
