Phnom Penh - 12/1/2010

Today was the last day in Cambodia. We woke up early at 5.30am as we have alot of fruits to pack. 1 of our 2 luggages was fill with fruits. Basically, we did not buy any souvenirs but fruits back. 
Our 3 nights at Nice Guesthouse cost US$30. Narith pick us up at 6.30am and we went to buy the dried Vermicelli which I requested yesterday. Noodle stall
Orussey market in the morning. It was quite chaotic!

We had our breakfast here on the way to the airport.
There were no customers around in the early morning unlike the one in Phnom Penh ytd. Our breakfast cost R15,000 ~ S$5.25.You tiao again Beef Vermicelli Pork Vermicelli
We were thinking what to give to Narith as souvenir. My sis said that we can give the $1 coin as souvenir. But she only have $10 notes and I dont have any $1 coin left. I searched my wallet and found a $2 plastic note hence we gave him this as there was no plastic notes for riel.
We took one last photograph with Narith and paid him US$10 ~ S$14. We have him US$8 ~ S$11.20 tips and about 5,000 Riels left in our pouch.  Phnom Penh departure hall
Check in counters. There were 2 counters for Jetstar. We queued at one of the counter but later the staff said that this counter was for group check-in so we moved to the other one beside. For the 20mins waiting, a lot of mosquitos came and entertained us. I guess the mosquitos also want to go on holiday. I was mad when the counter that we queue in the 1st place started to check-in individuals instead of groups. And the counter that we were queuing now helped to check-in the group. The Singaporean guy behind us was so impatient that he scolded the staff. Anyway the staff only apologised and continue to finish checking -in the group. We chat with this Singaporean guy while queuing and later while waiting for the flight. He seems to be travelling to Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand all the time as he have business there. Waiting for boarding
At around 8.40am, Jetstar plane landed and all the pasengers who board from Siem Reap had to alight and reboard the plane again.
 We board the plane and depart at 10.20am.

Corals?
Back home!
Landing at Singapore Changi Airport at 12.10pm.
Recycling bins
Later we went to Swensen at Terminal 2 for lunch. We left the airport at around 2.20pm and took bus 858. Whenever the bus enter the basement of each terminal, a policeman would board the bus and asked the luggage on board belong to who and the passengers would just raised their hands. I was thinking that what if there was a bomb inside? They dont checked. They just looked at your face to confirm that there was no dangerous weapon?
The journey to Woodlands interchange seems ages. I was too tired that I fall asleep. I guess I would never take bus back home again from airport!
