My dream holiday?

My.... what's with this meme thingy? When I first heard of this term last year from Evan, a long lost blogofriend, I thot it was mei mei (妹妹). And which hot-blooded male does not want to be "tagged with a 妹妹"? Silly me. Hehehe.....

The energetic EastCoastLife, despite her temporary "handicap", has tagged me (yet again) another meme. This time, on which country I'd love to visit next, or rather, my dream holiday. Gee... I dun travel very much. But it says "Dream Holiday", so I guess I can juz dream, can't I? LOL.

The place I'd like to visit next is ...... Cambodia. Yes, nowhere as exotic as Europe or Bora-Bora (goodness, where on earth is that, and I thot Singapore was pretty obscure considering how some foreigners thought we were part of China).

My pal Moogee made a trip to Cambodia with his other half last year. And boy, was he enthused and enthralled by this war-torn country. Cambodia oozes with a charm like no other city, so Moogee said. The country is filled with breathtaking monuments waiting to be explored. And we haven't even talked about the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat (or rather the ruin of it) yet, a temple built for the Cambodian king in the early 12th century. Moogee also told of the ever-ready smiles of the Cambodian people, especially the kids. Beneath the beautiful Cambodian smiles are poignant stories of hardship and pain for a nation who's never actually recovered from the destructions of years of civil wars. They need the tourist money. And that's why I'm blowing my money there.



And oh, I heard Cambodia is a favorite hideout for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (Brangelina) whenever the madness over at Tinseltown gets into them. We call it escapism. And yes I want my escapism in Cambodia, too. Why, they even adopted a kid from Cambodia they called Maddox who's now about 5 or 6. Maybe Brangelina would adopt me if I run into them in Cambodia? Superstar parents? Who dun want? I know Kennysia wants that, too. I would become famous, living in the lap of luxury. This is what I called the Finer Life.

LOL.

Hey wait .... I'd be darned! I juz learned that it is Vietnam and NOT Cambodia that Brangelina likes to visit. Sigh. But I'd love to visit Cambodia anyway. Maybe I'd run into Madonna instead who recently too adopted a boy. Wait... that was in Africa, right? Hmmm.... what the heck. I dun care anymore. Juz gimme my Dream Holiday!

Anonymous said...

Alamak, my dream vacation same as ECL, how to write? Sori lah!

bossacafez said...

sure no prob, then let me relink you too =)

Chris Sim said...

Victor:
你本来就是很无聊和空闲的。还很下流。你老人家还是睡觉去吧!

iml said...

Phew!!!relieved. Was out of the blogsphere for a while. My PC crashed. Now for some serious thought on your meme.

eastcoastlife said...

Chris,
You should have tag firehorse.

Of all the humans out there, you want to tag an animal.

Victor said...

Neh neh ni bu bu,
Sticks and stones can break my bones,
But words can never hurt me.

Chris Sim said...

ECL:
Who you calling animal? Victor? Yalor... he's a monkey, and I'm a dragon. Firehorse is a horse mah... also another "animal" wat (betul, firehorse?) ...hehehe..We're all animals lah, one way or the other. Easy lah.... owner of the blog has the prerogative to tag fellow bloggers that he wants mah... It's all in jest lah...

Chris Sim said...

Victor:
What neh neh ni bu bu? Monkey language arh? Animal! hehehe...

Victor said...

Mr Kang from Holland says, "It's funny, unique, great."

eastcoastlife said...

Chris,
Dragon is non-existent, firehorse is not a horse. You have the right to tag whoever you want, I was merely offering a suggestion.

HA HA HA.

Chris Sim said...

We're not animals? Then perhaps Tigerfish is? Lol.

We're all God's creatures, big and small. We human are lucky, for we are the smartest of all animals, with the ability to reason and be civil (if we choose to), which is sadly lacking in some aspects of the blogosphere. One only needs to read about fellow blogger Michelle Quek saga to see what I mean.

That much I wanna say.

Anonymous said...

I know who is Michelle Quek! heehee...

the blogosphere is getting ugly.

btw Chris you read hwz?

Chris Sim said...

Etel:

Yeah, I read about Michelle Quek. She was quite a babe... definitely worth the 70 cents. LOL.

My take on Michelle is, if you flaunt it, why bother when pple critice about you? We can't expect to hear all the nice things right? Pple's opinions differ. Besides, there are some really nasty pple out in the blogosphere. I can be nasty, too. Hehehe.....*evil laughter*

Anonymous said...

My view on her is.. the way she replied in hwz, shows that she critisizes people too... even if they do it to her in the first place, she has shown her immaturity on this issue, eh i dun mean i v mature hor, but the way she talks... well afterall she's a 18 yr old gal. i am 6 yrs older OMG

*evil laughs along*

Victor said...

Etel - Would you believe that Chris didn't know what you meant when you said, "Chris you read hwz?" He told me he thought you meant, "Chris you read how?" It's certainly not something I would expect from someone who claimed to have started surfing the Internet in the early 80s. LOL.

Hmm... I think it's time for a little poem.

Incy wincy spider climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and wash the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
Incy wincy spider climbed up the spout again

Why are the webs growing all over
Where goes the blog owner
Probably still dreaming in Cambodia
Oi wake from your deep slumber

Write us another post
Fill it with lots of LOLs
For we miss the entertainment
Can't wait another moment

Chris Sim said...

Of course, the internet lingo has grown considerably since the 1980s... hardwarezone wasn't even heard of back then.... and neither was vickoo. wahahah...

Dun tell me what to do lah.... I write what I want, how I want, and most of all WHEN I WANT.

Anonymous said...

hahahaa!!!

hwz is the one that sparked off the michelle quek thingy.. Victor Leong is totally crazy over it, always using the "HWZ's language"..

eh so in the end how u know hwz = hardwarezone? @_@

Chris Sim said...

Your GD laughed at me and told me lor. It's ok... we can't be expected to know every abbr. Right? I'm young but not that young mah. Unlike your GD lau kok kok. Meet him one day lah. Get him to buy you lunch. But better bring the other Victor along. The monkey has a lot of tricks up his sleeve one. LOL.
