APAD 312: Yellow centre
Back from a long absence. We temporarily suspended our subscription with our ISP due to a very poor service. It took more than three weeks to settle the issue, that meant three weeks without Internet as well. So I missed a rather great deal of posts here, please excuse.
Now that I am back, I’m picking up from where I left off. I’m starting again with the Mellow Yellow Monday meme.
This lovely rose greeted me this morning.
See you all again next week.
APAD 311: The essence of kangaroo
My husband and I were at the pharmacy near the FCC two days ago to replenish our multi-vitamins supply. He was busy looking at another brand and comparing the nutritional values while I wandered around from shelf to shelf reading funny or weird brand names of medicines and came to this shelf selling products that contain strange stuff such as propolis, sheep placenta, and so on… Do you have these in your local shops, too?
I wonder how many kangaroos were harmed to produce this, errrm, essence?
Seriously?
I have never heard of an “essence of kangaroo” before. The label says it is a natural food supplement. The wheels in my head started turning since I laid my eyes on this product so I was compelled to consult MisterGoogle about this product. To my utter surprise and amusement, I found out that there are other different brands of essence of kangaroo and most are, in fact, sex products. Hmmm… wondering how many people out there are desperate to use something like this? The main ingredient or component is cultivated from the male kangaroos testes. Oh, dear. Oh, dear. I just hope there are scientific studies that support their, errrm, health claims. *coughs*

APAD 308: Ice cream!
Heat-buster! I had a scoop each of mango and coffee flavours.
I love ice cream! When the summer heat gets too unbearable, there are ice cream shops around the city to beat the heat and just, well chill.
Chill Ice Cream and Coffee Lounge is one of them and they’re easily spotted along the riverside. They have a good selection of ice cream flavours, however, not much to rave about. The ice cream was just alright. They also offer ice cream cakes, coffee and pastries.
APAD 304: Election campaign
The campaign fever is on!
The national election will be held next month. Since last week, supporters of the different political parties in Cambodia have staged campaign activities all over the country.
Last Friday, these campaigners caused a huge traffic jam along the capital’s major thoroughfares. Hundreds (if not thousands) of commuters where stranded as convoys of rented trucks, Land Cruisers, and other vehicles rolled around the city with loud speakers blasting party jingles. I was among those unfortunate people who got stuck in traffic for more than an hour.
APAD 303: Not your usual morning jam
A queue of vehicles and irritated commuters formed in front of the French Embassy along Monivong Boulevard, affecting the traffic along Street 273, the Japanese bridge, and France Street.
A campaigning convoy caused the traffic jam last Friday morning. Dozens of rented trucks, cars and vehicles waving party banners and blasting loud campaign music rolled over the capital’s main thoroughfares stranding thousands of commuters as campaign activities kick off all over the country. This year’s election is slated on the 3rd of June.
And this is why I was late for a very important date!
