Good Bye SIEM REAP!

Assalamualaikum ...

Ive been three days in Siem Reap, Cambodia ...
I reach there at nite ...
And our free Pick Up service (tuk tuk) fetch us at the Bus Station ...
We used to travelled by Sorya Transport ...
Its the cheapest bus fare we found ...

Three days in Siem Reap doesn't attract me much ...
There are more than 100 guesthouse ...
and more hotels ... so as a traveller u may choose to stay
in a 5-star hotel or a small room that cost you 3 USD per night ...

Since I'm with my travel partner, we stayed in one room ...
15 USD per night includes breakfast ...
Nice stay but a lot of mosquitoes ...

Here, u can use ur USD to pay for anything ...
And all the price are standard ...
Mineral water (big) cost you 1 USD ...
Food (I ate Shrimp + Vege + Rice) cost you 1.25 usd - 1.5 usd ...
and its common to have a glass of shake here ...
It'll cost you 2500 Riel ... (1 USD - 4000 Riel) ...
Most of my time here, I stayed in hotel ...
I don't like the place that full of foreigner (even I'm the foreigner here) ...

Me and fadli, we tried to go the local mosque ...
its already one - two hours ... unluckily we can't found the mosque ...

The best thing about Siem Reap is the Angkor Wat ...
It cost you 20 USD for one day visit ...
however, If u love arts and would like to study more about Angkor Wat,
you may buy the 3-day pass for 40 USD and don't forget to hire a tour guide ...
There are thousands of watt to visit other than Angkor Wat ...
To me, i felt a little bit bored ...
Maybe because of I'm Muslim, I can't differentiate the different between
one and another watt ...
Same goes to non-Muslim I think ... U'll feel bored and can't differentiate when you see Masjidil Haram in Mecca and Masjid Kok Lanas in my hometown ...
However, when you know the story on each of the wat, its amazing you know!

From my hotel to the Angkor Watt, they will charge you with 15 USD for the whole trip ... if you request to travel for some more places, you will be charged ...

Besides Angkor Wat, you can visit the Tonle Sape Lake ...
It will cost you maybe 10 USD for the tuk-tuk and around <30 USD for the boat to
the floating village ... I don't go here ... independent traveller & money!

The other place that will attract you is Cultural Village ... it cost you 1 - 2 USD for the tuk-tuk and the other <12 USD for the entrance ... Fadli (my travel mate) went here! ...

Well, now I'm in Phnom Penh ... I travelled here by bus, It cost me 4 USD, its a 6 - 7 hours bus ... Here in Phnom Penh we stayed with one local ... his name is Lim Pisith.

Since I'm having an allergic with food + dust + hot in Siem Rieap ... its make me feel uncomfortable to travel ... :P

I'll continue writing later ... next post ... Phnom Penh!

Well, as usual, i dunt really like and not good writing so, i just put some pictures k ... however, the trip is ok for me ... me myself, the trip is more on surveying ... as I planned to travel to Bangkok next time ... From the trip ... these are the things that I can conclude: 1. I getting know my travel mate much better ... 2. Getting experience and knowledge ... well it will polish ur communication skills, negotiation skills, braveness and maybe ur ketahanan melawan nafsu! 3. I can open up my mind ... see new things (not really as my mum is also Siamese) Well, we dont really planned to go there ... its just a matter of 'trying' to see Thailand ...

Marine Engineering Bridging Program

Assalamualaikum ... DONE! It would be the best word to describe when I'm done my 2-year training ... 2 years isn't easy path for me to walk through ... Last week, I get back home after a few weeks struggle for my exams ... Theory exam (Oral Exam) at MARDEP Port Kelang ... MSCR exam (Marine Survical Craft & Rescue) at ALAM Melaka ... and a few courses before and after the exams ... Alhamdulillah ... I passed all the exams ... Now, it is the time for me to apply for my CoC (Certificate of Competency) ... 2 years back ... I remembered when one of the staff from my company said ... 'Your Degree is Useless ... You can burn it!' Phewwww! Just put yourself in my shoes ... :p When I was onboard ship ... Some peoples discriminate me and my buddy ... Just because we have a piece of paper ... B.eng Mechanical is nothing to them ... But then, its something to us ... A few cadets argued about how much we earned per month ... Nothing he shared with us ... Help with hidden agenda ...

B.Eng boleh bawak mati!

Assalamualaikum ... I met one of my friends in her campus ... Well, she's a medical student ... Sweet and nice isn't it? or maybe ... COOL! We have been talking about her life and so mine ... Talking about job ... and a comparison about being a doctor and me ... marine engineer ... What maked her impress is the figure that i will received each month ... mmmmm .... i think its tooo selfish to talk about money here ... But what makes me feel stupid about her is ... When she used to say this stupid statement ... "Macam mana ko punya gaji lagi besar dpd aku huh? Padahal kos kau tak adalah susah sangat" Pergh ... What do you think my friends? One word crossed in my mind: BODOH! Dia tak tahu ke ... yang founder GENTING BERHAD tu kerja asalnya tukang kutip besi buruk? Last-last gaji mahal dari kita semua yang ada B.ENG? Dia tak tahu jugak ke yang mamat founder MICROSOFT tak habis degree pun? Rumusan: Manusia bongkak dengan sekeping degree yang diorang dapat! Assalamualaikum ...
