Our World Tuesday: Holiday rush
How have you all been?
I’ve been busy, busy, busy the past few weeks until the Valentine’s weekend, thank God for that. My husband and I agreed not to go out and just chillax at home and do whatever we want. So I downloaded stuff off the Internet, scoured online shops for my new hobby, and then found this really nice online jewelry shop that I like, it’s called www.joyjewelers.com/, and I’m amazed at how beautiful the pieces are.
Anyways, back to reality. It’s a few more days till it’s the Chinese New Year but, already, the people in Phnom Penh are in a holiday shopping frenzy. Today, on my way to meet a friend in Parkway (Mao Tse Tung Blvd.), traffic was really solid and I got stuck at Psah Damkor, near Chenla Theatre all the way up to the intersection of Hotel Intercon and Monireth Blvd. Since I was stranded there for a good hour, I took some photos of what was unfolding before me:
Holiday rush. The scene at Psah Damkor, near Chenla Theatre.
The traffic lights are working soundly but drivers just keep on pushing and pushing, never giving way. Almost at a standstill.
Stranded.
Monday Mellow Yellows: Home stuff
I was window-shopping with a friend the other day. We went to this French-sounding shop in Tuol Tumpong area that sells lovely home stuff!
Pretty coffee mugs and tea infusers.
Most of the products are from Korea – and when it’s from Korea, it’s guaranteed cuteness written all over them! So, naturally, I wanted to buy everything I saw, lol. Anyways, I didn’t go home empty-handed. I bought a silicon basting brush, a gold ink stamp pad and some cute pens.
Monday Mellow Yellows: Knick-knacks at the counter
Hello and Happy New Year.
It took me awhile to go back to blogging. I wanted a looooong holiday before beginning another year of photos. I spent a long time re-organising my craft room-cum-home office. I re-arranged the furniture and brought in the secondhand table with drawers (it’s massive) and cabinet organizers where my stuff will finally be organised and kept. My vintage sewing machine is still here, hopefully, it won’t be gathering dust this year as I plan on cranking in some simple sewing work. I also have calligraphy tools which were sent (presents) from my baby sister. It is my goal that I’d be good at calligraphy and, perhaps, get commissioned to do some calligraphy works this year 🙂
After huffing and puffing from all the lifting furniture and dusting and re-organising, my husband treated me to a burger meal. Where else but, of course, at our favourite burger joint in town.
The counter, from where I’m sitting. Lots of yellow knick-knacks displayed there.
This is Mike’s Burger House in Camko City. This is the second branch and still the best place to find American-style fast-food burgers in Phnom Penh.
APAD 289: RTWs
Some cheap RTW (ready-to-wear) clothes at Psah O’Russei. This market is like a wholesale distribution centre for most RTWs coming from Vietnam, China, HK, and many others. It just creeps me out looking at the mannequins.
APAD 282: Drive safely
A grim reminder to motorists in Cambodia.
This is a common roadside sign in Cambodia: a grim reminder about the hazards of driving. Road traffic accidents are a major issue in the Kingdom and death tolls are ever increasing annually.
