Woke up at 8plus Cambodian time to see Aunty Susan. Auntie susan was quite concerned about our safety and whatevers. So we were tasked to make a photocopy of our passport and insurance plan.
Followed by some exploration of surrounding shops and places. Tried to find morning cafe. However, we could not find it :(. I was screaming that at the rate we are finding or walking, it will be afternoon cafe by then. We went to a photocopy shop to zap the things we wanted, and also venture around the shops nearby us. End up, we walked until the street very far down with no shops but only cars, roads and trees. We did a turn inside and ventured the backroad nearing the Philay school and some shops which sell petrol. After that we turned in, but we did a wrong turn and ended up in a road full of stones. Then after the next turn, we realised we are back at Methodist School. What a relief!
We went back and discuss how are we going to the orphanage. Then Susan helped us contact the in-charge to fetch us there by motorbike. Well, it was my first time taking a motorbike. Felt it was very fun. Very airy cause the bikes drive pretty fast. It was scary at the same time cause I was afraid i might fall.
Very soon, we reached there. Weitai looked really happy caused he finally get to see the children. I felt quite lost and speechless as it is my first time there. For wt, it feels like he comes back to see his relative. For me, i felt quite foreign. It took me a while before I feel more comfortable to mingle with the children and the young adults who seemed to know weitai pretty well. People like Senghong, Chanthy, Sopheap felt so happy when they saw him.
Got to know Sophea for the first time. Taught him some English. He was reading this book which I tried to make him memorise the words. Sophea is 15-16 years old. Just like a secondary school boy!
Later, left the orphanage in a Tuk-tuk to Methodist School. Asked the Tuk tuk to wait for us. However, when we were ready after telling Susan our schedule, we realised that the Tuk tuk left :(. Then we go to the Psar Muang Ang there to get a new tuk tuk.
The new tuk tuk was worst. Drove us to Russian Market when we wanted to go Orussey Market - Capitol Tours. Spent US$5 for no reason... =X We just bought a pair of shades and left.
Took another Tuk tuk to Capitol tours. Finally we are there! So relieved. We bought our tickets to Ho Chih Minh City and return tickets. We had dinner at the Capitol restaurant and decided to find Lucky Supermarket. The dinner was quite good. Weitai wanted this Fried Chicken with mushroom, which is actually sauteed mushroom with chicken. The term "fried" sounded like the chicken was deep-fried before it was stir-fried with the mushroom.
Walked there all the way and we got a bit lost. Luckily weitai asked a young motorbike driver for directions. LOL.
The Lucky Supermarket things are VERY expensive! The items price are more expensive than Singapore! The price are all in USD but it is the same price in SGD! For example, we wanted to buy this can of soup. The price is US$1.70, when in SG, it only cost SG$1.70 vs SG$2.38 =.=
Later it is back to MSC and some movie. I think I watched the cheerleading movie again? Hmmms
