One night, the 5 siemreapers congregated at my hotel room's living area... sipping Angkor beer, crunching honey mustard chips, and watching European league reruns... and suddenly I burst out in laughter, slapping my thighs and continued laughing hysterically.
I told the guys we have our own version of
TinTin! i.e. Tim Chin from Brunei, and we started recounting all the various '
adventures' of Tim in this short span of time in Cambodia. Eventhough TinTin's adventures are usually harrowing and ends with him escaping danger with a piece of endearing story, which our Tim Chin will hardly match but i think our Tim Chin had one helluva
odd jobs experience in Cambodia.
"TimChin in Cambodia"

1. This was actually his 1st job in Kuala Lumpur before Cambodia. We found an unsuspecting TimChin ironing work clothes.

2. Bouncer to Waiter - Not only did he had a Heart Of Darkness' uniform on, he had a name tag and order slips. Service: Very good.

3. Drinks vendor - After a couple of hours under the scorching sun in the Silver Pagoda, you'd crave for a fizzy can of coke even if it cost 1USD, and this is the only stall you will find. Smart bloke.

4. Laundry Service - We found him topless in a rooftop restaurant putting out the table linens and napkins to dry.

6. Library inspector - Why no fan? Why no proper shelving?

6. Musician - This piece of instrument is his obsession. There seems to be one in every other place we go and he makes good random music.

And last but not least....
