Happy Independence day everyone. Just so you know, i do not have a merdeka post this year because well … my views about Malaysia have changed and i don’t share the same sentiments and spirit like before, anymore. Nevertheless, i am grateful that i am here today, and i am also thankful to a lot of people who’ve made my journey in life thus far so “interesting”!
:)
a few random notes on my observation lately
* i like it when i am actually the “ah moi” who ordered burger at the ramlee stall. i am also the ahmoi at the mamak, the carwash, the kopitiam, the petrolstation, etc. weird thing is, i don’t get the ahmoi treatment when i was in sarawak at all.
* my mum placed a hugeass malaysia flag(jalur gemilang) outside our house. i thought it looked pretty.
* August was the independence month and i remember how every car on the road actually have a mini flag on it few years back. i don’t see any of it this year on any car. maybe i wasn’t observant enough. But yeah, i miss those times.
* remember those patriotic songs they used to air on rtm? they were aired on the exact time everyday, around 6.55pm right before the news at night and i would wait in front of the tv just to sing the song (because i was the nerdy girl in school choir) and then let my mum watch the news. i used to be so patriotic… you have no idea how much i used to love Malaysia.
Dirgahayu Tanah Airku, was my favourite song to date. somehow, it just never fails to plant a smile on my face. :)

Anyhoo…
random shots of me. wow.. it’s been a while since i actually posted proper pictures of myself here in my blog. Guess what, i also blew up my flashgun last weekend. :( Nothing canon can not fix i guess. will send the speedlite back to canon and see if it’s curable.
and yes, i have aged and look so much older. but i am still the same and i will never believe in beauty creams.
gotta go!
the week is going to be super exciting and i am anticipating to rock and roll !
The Bayon (Khmer: ប្រាសាទបាយ័ន, Prasat bayon) is a well-known and richly decorated Khmer temple at Angkor in Cambodia. Built in the late 12th century or early 13th century as the official state temple of the Mahayana Buddhist King Jayavarman VII, the Bayon stands at the centre of Jayavarman’s capital, Angkor Thom. Following Jayavarman’s death, it was modified and augmented by later Hindu and Theravada Buddhist kings in accordance with their own religious preferences.
The Bayon’s most distinctive feature is the multitude of serene and massive stone faces on the many towers which jut out from the upper terrace and cluster around its central peak. The temple is known also for two impressive sets of bas-reliefs, which present an unusual combination of mythological, historical, and mundane scenes. The main current conservatory body, the JSA, has described the temple as “the most striking expression of the baroque style” of Khmer architecture, as contrasted with the classical style of Angkor Wat.
The Bayon was the last state temple to be built at Angkor, and the only Angkorian state temple to be built primarily as a Mahayana Buddhist shrine dedicated to the Buddha, though a great number of minor and local deities were also encompassed as representatives of the various districts and cities of the realm. It was the centrepiece of Jayavarman VII’s massive program of monumental construction and public works, which was also responsible for the walls and naga-bridges of Angkor Thom and the temples of Preah Khan, Ta Prohm and Banteay Kdei.
A lot of my friends have been telling me that i MUST go to Melbourne because it’s SO ME! And from what i’ve heard and experienced… YES, i think i fell in love with the city. From the graffiti to coffee and artistic building architecture and people… i just feel at ease being there. And strangely, i can feel that i can express myself more in a city so foreign yet not a stranger to me.
Sydney or Melbourne? I can’t decide which one i like more. Both is different in it’s own way and also i like them both because of different things as well.
Anyways. Pics in random. I lost track of the name of the places halfway.
