This is the finale temple for us, the 'Angkor Wat'. There was a beautiful coincident here when we arrived. A rainbow appeared over the sky
and the rain stopped just in time for us to have our photo taken with the beautiful reflection of 'Angkor Wat' in the pond. 
Better still, trying to wrap the rainbow,
walking on the rainbow bridge
with the rainbow on top of us is really great and the feeling so good
just as we finish taking photo a heavy down pour and we actually walking some part of the temple with hat(compliment from the guide) under the rain. I must elaborate here... 'Angkor Wat' is the grandest
and most sublime
of all the Khymer temples.
A city by itself with a total area of 200 hectares.
The scale of Angkor Wat enabled the Khmer to give full expression to religious symbolism.
There were four big basin to stabilise the structure of the Angkor Wat.
All was drained off water due to mosquitoes infestation. Most of the statues of Buddha was vandalised/stolen of heads,
hands or legs.
Well I must said we were all a little disappointment here because we are not allowed to climb to the highest point of 'Angkor Wat' which was closed for renovation purposes.
We did have fun though and enjoyed ourselves so much that even being drenched in rain don't seems like much of a problem.

After Angkor Wat, we went for another session of massage. Self paid. The last itinerary of our day (also our tour) was dinner
with Cambodian traditional show. That pretty much wraps up our Siem Reap tour.

This is a portrait of our tour taken with our tour guide and the driver. 
To spice up our Cambodia trip a little more, the five of us went on a 'TuTu Trishaw' ride to the discos to have some workout done (compensating for the gym session we missed back home).

Leaving Siem Reap at 8am the next day and arrived back in Kuala Lumpur safe and sound. Chaires's driver, Aziz, was already waiting for us when we got out of the immigration.
...and the trees that intertwined itself amongst the ruins
plus a greater mass of thinner & smoother grey roots
which grows into various crevices in between the ruins.
down in Tomb Raider... and ended up in Dubai, hahaha... 
before our tour to Angkor Thom. Our tourguide, Mr Sip, was already waiting for us in the lobby when we are done with breakfast. To get into Angkor Thom, we need to pass thru some villages on dirt roads. We were then given an entry pass to all the various temples around Angkor Thom each. We arrived at the South gate 
before long and was greeted by two rows of statues
resting on dragons.
And on the right, it was demons with huge popping eyes.
Here is the elephant terrace
that led us to the 'Bayon Temple'.
Inside the temple, most of the towers are carved with four faces which are worshipped by the Hindus & Buddhists.
We met 2 young monks and took some photos with them. Before we do that we have to know the rules and that is, there shall not be any kind of body contact.
Here is a photo of me rubbing nose & kissing Buddha's face...
Hehehe... It is not what you see it is. Just a camera trick that did it, cute isn't it?
Well, next will be 'Ta-Phorm' temple and 'Angkor-wat'. But it will have to be in the next entry. Tired la.....bye for now, have a nice day.
Our flight for Cambodia (Siem Reap) was due for departure at 7am. Therefore, we need to start our journey from Kluang as early as 2am, barely 2 hours past midnight. We gathered at Chaire's house prior to our departure from Kluang and took advantage of her newly acquired 15-seater celebrity MPV...
We tried to catch some beauty sleep through the 3+ hours drive.
Once out of the airport, we were greeted and welcomed by the hotel staff together with our tour guide, Mr Sip Cham Nan.
We checked into our hotel, freshen up a little before our tour of Siem Reap begin!
Learnt a lot on how silk is actually produced and why it is so expensive. 
Next, is the Jewellery Shop (no photos allow inside). We get to learn more about different kind of gemstones. As we all knew, Cambodia is one of the country that produces many different kind of gemstones. Here, we were taught how to differentiate the real thing from the fake ones, and of course the gems are for sale too. I didnt buy any but got an early birthday present from Tenny, a beautiful yellow gemstone surrounded with sparkling white stone ring. It was a good bargain. From USD200.00 to USD20.00. You'll be surprised at how they actually marked-up the prices. The discounts offered went as much as 80%. So bear this in mind if you are going for Cambodian gemstone. 
Next on our itinerary was the floating village. There were plenty of boat houses, (look at that little girl on the boat, think she is bearly 5yrs old) ...
...floating schools and churches...
...and even a crocodile farm. 
While we were at the crocodile farm, our friend Chaire accidentaly dropped her very expensive sunglasses into the crocodile's enclosure and our tourguide Mr Sip have to fish it out for her. Here, we can actually buy the crocodie and have them cook it for you.
