Life Introspect’s

I’m sure many of you notice that April is quickly approaching! We are nearing one of the most refreshing month’s in the year. For Southeast Asians, particularly the Cambodian, Lao, and Thai cultures celebrate New Years around this time. At my old blog I’m sure I’ve blogged and blogged about this numerous times. Last year however I wasn’t really active with the New Years schedule, but since so many things has happened the month’s prior to entering 2010… I realized that I should enjoy life to it’s fullest potential. Have fun and be in the company of the people you love for as long as you can. Here are the schedules as I know them. I’m sure most of the dates are correct because they were pulled from the official websites!

First of Cambodian New Years 2010. I know this one is always the 2nd Sunday of April I have no doubts about this one.

*Please note that the facebook event pages are ones I created since I couldn’t find any on facebook after searching. I am merely trying to convey information for people who don’t have them and don’t want to miss the festivities. Images were either taken from the original website or google ^.^

Yep you read correctly viagra ice cream. Imagine That?

Entitled The Sex Pistol, this bespoke creation is served as an ice cream cocktail and it’s claimed to have similar effects to the libido-boosting drug Viagra. It contains ingredients such as ginkgo, biloba, arginine and guarana and is served with a shot of the highly intoxicating La Fee Absinthe, so it’s guaranteed to get your blood pumping. Customers are limited to one serving per person.

Matt O’Connor, founder of The Icecreamists, says: “This is the perfect après shopping treat. Just one Sex Pistol will leave you feeling energised and confident – but please, don’t pester the staff!”

The Sex Pistol costs £11.99 (17.16 USD) and is available to customers aged 18 and over.

From 10 September, Selfridges shoppers will be able to indulge in more guilty pleasures when The Icecreamist boutique opens in the department store’s basement. It’s open daily until 1 November and will serve cryogenic cocktails frozen at -196°C, pure frozen yogurts and an array of artisan ice cream flavours.

The Viagra of ice cream is hitting a London department store, and as long as you’re over 18, you can try a cool scoop of the hot stuff yourself: The Sex Pistol packs in libido-boosting ingredients like arginine and guarana and comes with a shot of absinthe on the side, the London Paper reports. ‘Vice cream’ eaters will have to fork over nearly $20 for a serving—limited to one per person.
