Trip at Siem Reap, Cambodia

It was so lucky i got a chance travel to Siem Reap, Cambodia due to having an event for my silhouette cutting service down there ;p

Due to short notice, the flight i booked was required to transit at Suvarnabhumit Airport Bangkok to Siem reap. The aeroplane I took was this one ;p That was very exciting because is my very first time taking this type of plane.

Upon arrived Siem Reap Airport, headed to the immigration clearance area. I was waited an hour to get my passport stamped ;p

When to the taxi booking office, as per small luggage, I can take the tuk tuk to my hotel.

The fare was USD9 because the time I book my taxi was before 2300 (11pm), otherwise will be USD12. Yup, Cambodia was using US Dollar, but when you buy thing and get small change, they will change Khmer Riel currency to you; after I do further research, Cambodia is an non-coin country! That was something new for my ;p

All transport for flush to right hand side, so the steering of the car is at the left side of the sit.

Arrived Somadevi Hotel & Spa about 10.30pm Cambodia time.

Checked the map that PUB Street was nearby, so after settle down at 11pm I go to Pub Street.

BEWARE OF TOUTING!!! OUCH!!!

When I reach the entrance of my hotel, there are tuktuk driver touting, I told him I want to go Pub Street, he tell me is very far so got to pay more! So I expect USD2, he said ok, and then he drive me to different direction and to an brothel KTV! What the hell!  I insist I want to go to the PUB Street to had my dinner and then he drive my to the real PUB Street! End up I got to pay him USD3!!

Your guys who first time go this place need to be alert! I realised so many touting activities around!

Great that reach Pub street, few pub was having real loud music, opps!

The beer was cheap! Draft beer start from USD$0.50!

 

My dinner with my USD$1.00 Asahi Beer!!!

Beer and liquor was real cheap in Siem reap!!! This photo took in a Supermarket. USD0.93 Tiger Beer? No way in Singapore. haahaa!

Palm Reading During Chinese new Year Period

Did palm reading for Lau pa Sat (Old Market) Chinese New Year Celebration event.
During the event what I will do was telling the character and strong  & weak point of the of the guests. in such event, i will not tell the bad thing due to it just a fringe activity and not nice to let the guest's mood get affect by telling any bad things.

Ivan was doing pebble art in the event. I would like to thank you Ivan for taking photo for me in this event.

There are lion dance performance during the event ;p

Chinese paper Cutting Preperation

Just came across the date for next year's 2019 Chinese Lunar new Year 1st day was fall on 6 Feb, which is before western's Valentine Day (14 Feb).

Time flight as arrow, so I have to push myself to begin my new batch Chinese paper pre-made cutting  preparation.

Yup, Chinese paper cutting required much longer time to do by hand cutting, therefore to produce a better quality Chinese paper cutting meed to spend almost 10  or more months time.

Caricature for SUSS CNY Event

Great that had a chance do caricature drawing for SUSS Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS)) Chinese New Year Event.

Nowadays really not easy to get caricature jobs due to too many people are doing it so became very competitive, many clients or event companies thought cheapest artist is the best one while they forgot about how many faces to be done per hour and what is the quality they artist provide.
