Bangkok day 2

Its been a long time coming, but I finally got my lazy ass off the couch and my hands off the PS3 controller and updated on this post, before I lock away the pics in MA VAULT.

The day started with a pickup from the hotel, and pickups of other tourists from other hotels. It was basically pretty quiet in the van for the 1 and a half hours it took us to reach our first stop: The Floating Market. Seeing as how boring it was with everyone so quiet in the car, I took a few shots on the way.

Take one.

 

And here comes a point in time where I get so damn lazy to explain what was happening, so I’m just going to say where the photos were taken. Less reading involved =D On the way to the floating market

Reached the floating market

To sum up the floating market – cool in a floating market kinda way, water smells like shit and looks worse than it smells, would like going there again, but with someone who speaks Thai. Btw, almost everything in Thailand seems to taste good.

Elephant farm They never forget.

And I sorta forgot where I went after that. But it involved snakes and wood carvings. Even the caplang buffet food there tasted awesome. TOM YUM.

No shit.

         That’s the restaurant manager in the middle. And he’s in his early 30s. DAMN

This sauce, paired with THIS FISH. AWESOME. I have never loved fish like that so much before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Take two.

 

 

Last day, finally coming up. And I have plenty to write about.

Just passing through.

I never really found out what it was. 

Sometimes you gotta wonder

Here’s the part where I put in little bits and pieces of writing in between and amidst all the photos and captions. And its probably where I squeeze in a photo somewhere at the end.

Sometimes I wonder why I put myself in situations like this.

Sometimes I wonder whether or not its worth going through all the stress, the pain and anguish, everything.

I got the band, competitions, college, church, home, assignments, amongst other things to juggle.

All this and I know its only a fraction of the stress my parents must experience. Which leaves me to wonder whether or not I’ll be ready to face the stress they do when I get to their age.

Maybe there’s something waiting for me at the finish line.

Maybe it won’t be prize money, accreditations, presents or event good grades.

Maybe it won’t be something material.

Maybe it might be someone.

I know I’ve made mistakes. I feel like a fool now.

It feels like I’ve lost my team the World Cup.

Maybe its all part and parcel of the learning process.

Maybe I just need to invest more time and effort into it.

Maybe I should stop using the word “maybe”.

Perhaps I just need to wait a little longer.

 

Remember I said that there might be someone waiting for me at that finish line?Here’s hoping its you.

ITS BANGKOK BEETCHES

Day 1

So its been almost a month since I went to Bangkok, but I’ve been just so damn lazy to update on that. And plus there’s been lots going on so that made me even lazier. BUT HERE IS THE UPDATE.

Lining up to check in

I had none of these in my bag. =D

    Since I was a little kid, I always liked to watch the airplane getting ready to accept new passengers. I think I wanted to be a pilot at one point too. Show of hands how many of you have gone to the cockpit before to see the pilots before it became an international hazard to have 5 year olds enter a cockpit.

The flight took about 2 and a half hours and when we got there I was still pretty stoned. The weather and the scenery almost looked the same as Malaysia.

I think it took us about over an hour to reach the hotel because I just dozed off in the back of the van. Oh yea and it feels twice as humid there than it is in M’sia.

      A hand-made wooden carving greeted us at the hotel’s lobby, but that was the only thing that greeted us =.= The hotel sucked balls. Seriously. Don’t get me started on the food, as being in Ms Nancy’s food science classes for too long had the words staphylococcus, clostridium perfringens and salmonella ringing in my ears.

But at that time we hadn’t seen the full power of the hotel’s GG-ness. Oh yea, I think it was called Pratunam City Inn. If you ever go to Bangkok and you’re looking for a budget hotel to stay in, DON’T STAY THERE.

I think my family fails on all accounts of holidaying. We took a walk outside the hotel to look around for something to have for lunch. And guess where we went for lunch: Japanese Food.

Fail la, go to Bangkok and eat Japanese food on the first day. But it was nice =D

The manager was pretty awesome, giving us free chicken wings. Which were awesome too =D

Wiped clean.Everything =D

    To let the food settle we took a walk around and about the city, despite the heat and the fumes from the many vehicles that run through it :/

Oh, and we rode a Tuk-tuk to a mall that was closed =.=

Thank God we took a cab back. Tuk-tuk’s are actually more dangerous than fun…and almost all their cabs are pink in Bangkok.

       Got some sorta sweet-savoury snack which had cream, sweetened shaved coconut and spring onions. Was like apom malik. I LOVED IT. But I have no idea what it’s called.

Walked down the road from our hotel and found a quaint little Thai restaurant (or in Thailand, just a restaurant) and had dinner there.

CLEAR TOM YUM SOUP. AWESOME. AWESOME. AWESOME.

Pork with fish never tasted so good.

The stir fried veggies with chicken kinda reminded me of home.

Walked around a bit to let the food settle before going back to the hotel

It truly is.

My mom said something about eating bananas just in case we experienced constipation during the trip…..mana tau she only said that because she herself was constipated =.=

That’s about it for the first day and there’s more to come!

SORRY LA SO LITTLE PICUTRES AND WORDS TIRED LA LATELY GOT SO MANY THINGS HAPPENING BUT I WILL UPDATE MORE SOON.

AND TO ALL YOU BOTS AND VIRUSES SPAMMING MY CHATTERBOX, TWO WORDS FOR YOU:

FUCK OFF.

And pat my blog IS NO LONGER MOUDLY AHAH

 

Till next time readers,

Au Revoir.
