The thick, billowy clouds provided a dramatic backdrop for these old colonial buildings at the riverside.

Is it going to rain or shine?

The heavens could not decide, it seemed. The following night, however, it rained, much to our delight. It cooled down everything.

Fruits section – One of my favourite sections at the market where not only locally-grown fruits are sold but also imported ones from China, Vietnam and Thailand.

Fruit section at Psah Thmey (Central Market).

How about you, what’s your favourite section in your market?

APAD 031: Crafting with Sreisaat

Posted by on Nov 12, 2012 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, Cambodia life, Cycle 2, Expat Life, What's On in Cambodia | 0 comments

This is what I’ve been doing lately – carving rubber erasers for stamping and designing cards. I’ve taken it upon myself to make our Christmas cards this year.

I love stamping! And crafting in general.

There’s something special about handmade cards (and other DIY stuff) and I love making them. They’re unique and fun to make. Each card is a product of inspiration, love, time and effort. And it’s something more precious or valuable than cards bought from the stores.

Crafting is so much fun, whether it is scrapbooking, card-making, crocheting, sewing, and others. Don’t you agree with me?

APAD 030: Man jeans

The other week my husband and I went to Sorya Mall to look for a nice pair of jeans for him. It was a challenge as most of the available items are for the younger ones. We went to a department store and had our hopes up when we saw the sign:

But it was quickly dashed. The “man jeans” are not really for men. They’re small (in women’s sizes), short (in length) and are high-waisted.
