What the Duck in Siem Reap - Part Four

Heading off to the last capital city of the Khmer empire.

In awe of the guardians of Angkor Thom.

WTD can't wait to snap some pictures with his non digital SLR. Lo-fi photography is all the rage, yo.

What the Duck in Siem Reap - Part Three

 After the trip to the lake, WTD was hoping to get a taste of Amok fish and other local fares. He decided to have his dinner at Viroth Restaurant.

Nice ambience and friendly staff.

Food was great and cheap, but he wished there was sufficient lighting to know what he was eating!

But first, WTD found a watering hole to combat the intense heat. Khmer Kitchen

And draft beer is going at around USD $0.50 to $1 per glass here in Siem Reap. What more could a duck ask for.

Passing by lotus fields on the way to Tonle Sap, the largest freshwater lake in the region.

What the Duck in Siem Reap - Part One

WTD arrives in Siem Reap airport for a much-needed weekend vacation. With his trusty camera (no its not a pacifier) in tow!

Going through customs was a breeze, and that's the understatement of the year. WTD arrived shortly at his hotel and browsed the Cambodian newspaper.

The amenities at the hotel lobby looked very promising.

A Day in the Life of a Duck

WTD resting his tired legs after a morning of shopping at Orchard ION

US-born WTD has slowly come to terms with the Singaporean Chinese's love for roasted duck. He's learnt to channel his attention away at Chinese restaurants whenever he sees such acts of atrocities.

Duck-in-a-roll.

Catching a movie in town and enjoying it. Though he is quite unhappy with the lack of elevation of the cinema seating. Not very duck-friendly.

Yes. He went to watch The Green Hornet, of all movies.

He's spending his first Chinese Lunar New year in Singapore. Pretty psyched to learn about the 12 Chinese Zodiac animals. Why weren't ducks included?

This will be the year of the Metal Rabbit.

Helping with the decorations

WTD meets some auspicious rabbits

Cai shen ye is watching...

Hiding behind a pot of plant. Stalking the God of Prosperity (财神爷)

Firecrackers!

Perhaps 2 of these can propel him to the skies.

Alright, all this rabbit decoration is really getting way overboard.

New BFFs (best fauna friends)

What the Duck's relative visits for Xmas

What the Duck's brother (right) recently came from the US for a visit. Looking a tad jet-lagged from the time difference. But they wasted no time in trying out their new fisheye lens!

Chillin'

Groovy Vinyl Records

We dug out an old vinyl record player from the storeroom, and a whole bunch of old dusty awesome records.

The Duck Who Played with Fire

WTD channels his inner Tom Selleck with a water caltrop

WTD the Oracle

Inspired by Paul the Octopus, WTD (What The Duck) embraced his inner psychic within and ventured out of the house to follow his calling and test his new-found prowess.

WTD had an epiphany

... and his subsequent transformation.

He travelled far and wide, impressing everyone he came across with his uncanny insight and impeccable fashion sense, and his stature grew. He was received by all with opened arms, and welcomed with free clothing, buffet food, and medicinal-tasting beverages.

"Lead us out of the dark!" they pleaded. All these expectations and draining of psychic energy began to take a toll on WTD. To be continued..

What The Duck at Home

Lack of updates lately.. WTD lounging at home after arriving in Singapore from US

Ever tried being interrogated by a mean-looking duck with pouty lips?

WTD meets the yet-to-be-named Tuna Sushi Plush Toy for the first time and resists the temptation to dip it in wasabi.

Trying to reduce the love handles with OSIM uZap Mini.

What The Duck

We've recently fallen in love with the web comic strip 'What The Duck' (WTD) and decided to bring in a new member to our family.

Patiently waiting for him to arrive in Singapore now...

The WTD comic strip basically revolves around the lives of several duck characters who are professional photographers, often making wry comments and observations that many pro and amateur photographers can relate to. Fans of the free web strip are able to support the author by purchasing various merchandise such as the cafepress T-shirts and the WTD plush toy of the main character, seen above.








Author Aaron Johnson also encourages fan-submitted artworks and photos of the main WTD character.

WTD at Singapore Grand Prix!!!

At the golf course. Love the little camera over his plush neck.

This is just the type of humour we love. Haha.
