NO-HOMEWORK-DAY!

Yes, you've read the title of this post correctly. NO HOMEWORK! Amazing really; but I'm not going to question its current disappearance because I know we will have more tomorrow -____-" HAHA well I've been wanting to blog more often lately, as I've been reading a lot of things now online... Articles, blogs (people in BD sure have a way of expressing themselves artfully), news and some other interesting information. Last night my father told me and my brother that we might be going to Angkor Wat during the June holidays and he asked me to look it up through the Net. I was like what? Thailand? Why not Bangkok?! (forgive me if I can't remember a thing from Primary 6/Form 3 history) So I looked it up.

Turns out it's in Cambodia instead. My, how my history 5k1llz has been dreadfully concealed for many years... Here's a quick blast-from-the-past treat to those who have no idea what this Angkor (What?) is.

It was built for King Suryavarman the second in the 12th century and his state temple and capital city. It was first built religiously; for devotion unto the Hindu-then-Buddhist gods. The temple is the epitome of the high classical style of Khmer architecture, and now has become the symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag. Thanks, Wikipedia! :D


You must be thinking that I have nothing else to post on. I am not a huge fan about anything historical or rather, kampung-ish... but I guess it is different. Anyway, the Simpsons is on now so that's all for me. Anyone want to try rock climbing? :P

P/S: I've been looking through so many blogs on food and delicacies now and I can't say they've been helping very much with the constant hunger pangs.. For starters, check this out. I'm not too concerned when it comes to desserts but main courses are my heart's forte. ENJOY!
