You can easily pick out bright and colourful visitors from this image. My last visit in early April was my third. Somehow Angkor Wat seemed smaller than I remember it. Maybe it was the wooden steps they built over the steep stone steps leading to the upper level -- it made the climb much easier, and safer, and so much more accesible to visitors.

Siem Reap is a fantastic place to visit. I am not convinced however, that the girls would enjoy it as much.

Quiet Tuesday morning with only laughter and soft music dancing with the smell of coffee and fresh waffles.

At one of our favourite hangouts, and we brought (our) girls.

This is one of the photos Azmina used for her project -- which I was supposed to help her with.

N ended up doing a lot of the work since I made an error in the layout, and had to go away before I realised my mistake.

The kids are done for the year. No more school till January.

Taking leave soon. Will seek awesome.

I seldom have time during traveling to visit the shops. Luckily most airports have good selections of chocolates. They're not the best, but better than most supermarkets. The trouble is, most times I carry a bag that's just big enough to hold my notebook and my papers. And that bag isn't designed much of anything else.

Most times when I get home, I'll only have a piece... They're reserved for my loves. I prefer to watch them in their pretty little dresses, in quiet contemplation, talking about which piece to have next, as if it were a game of chess where no one loses.

She never told me who it was.

Now, they each have their own -- from their savings.

I told R that Lana Zaheerah would lead me out of hiatus. It took me a while -- her birthday was four weeks ago.

Happy Birthday Lana.

You sure know how to party. We should do something together for New Year's.

Austen wrote, "Seldom, very seldom, does complete truth belong to any human disclosure; seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised, or a little mistaken."

Omission of words, a voice with a tone misguided, laughs that hide inconsolable sadness – they all disguise. But then there are smiles from the heart, and sighs that tell whole paragraphs…

How lucky we are to have someone from whom radiate little streams of truth, and with whom we share hope, expectations and uncertainties.

And above all else, love.
