Bang Kok Trip: How many baht~?
I'M BACK FROM MY BKK TRIP!
It was a really fruitful trip I have to say. The place, culture, food, shopping and the company I had on my trip there. I am already missing that place, running in the rain with my friends, sitting tuk tuk and having all the nonsensical conversations :)
We took an early afternoon flight to BKK on Thursday and it has been such a long time i last sat a plane! Really love the feeling when the plane takes off, it feels good to be in the sky, like I had gained control of the entire sky I was in then. We reached BKK at around 3pm and then we checked in at Baiyoke Sky Hotel. It is a really nice hotel, with 24/7 FamilyMart, restaurants and not forgetting it being Thailand's tallest building, with it standing tall at 88 storeys. We stayed on the 29th floor and got a free upgrade because the one we had reserve initially was out of inventory. We got into Superior Suite and basically it has a separate living room followed by the bedrooms and the toilet. On the first day, we intended to walk to MBK mall, but it was raining heavily (rainy season in bkk then) and it was really dramatic, having to run through the railway tracks of the street HAHAHA. Eventually we settled for tuktuk and it was really an experience sitting tuktuk while it was raining! Had dinner at a Thai steamboat restaurant and yummm the char siew and duck meat was really succulent and tender. It was quite cheap, cost around 150 baht per pax which is approximately 6 SGD. After that had auntie anne's pretzel and walked the Pratanum night market right outside our hotel while in the rain. Hehe. SkyBar at the hotel's 77th floor wasn't really that fabulous! Went to the Revolving Point at the 80th floor and seriously, Bangkok does have a nice night view. The city night lights and all... Really awesome. And the guys challenged each other to be topless in the cold and rainy weather on the revolving point! Headed back to the room and we started drinking the Jack Daniel's we bought for Jingxiang's advanced birthday! Hahaha he was really down that nightttttt. Played all sorts of drinking games and then we retired for the night at about 3am.
On the second day, Friday, we got awaken by the boys. Because the girls get to sleep in while the guys had to wake up to fetch Jiaying and Jamie from the airport so hence they felt unfair, which explains why they kept disturbing us hahaha! Had the hotel buffet breakfast and they had a really good variety! It was comparable to an international buffet. I'm totally digging the waffle they had there! Later on we took a cab down to the Platinium Mall. HEHEHE THAT'S A SHOPPING PARADISE! Its Bangkok's best wholesale mall for your infor! Which means we could get lots of blog shop clothes there hahaha. And yeah we all did bought alot of stuffs! Had lunch at the Fuji restaurant there and it was realllllllly reasonable. Then we continued shopping before heading back to the hotel to put our shopping loots down HAHAHA. Cabbed down to Khao San Night Market again and tried the food at the roadside stall! PHAT THAI WAS REALLY GOOD. YUMMM. Love it love it love ittttt. It was raining heavily that day and we all bought a 50 baht poncho HAHAHA we were damn colourful... all decked in shades of pink, yellow and blue. Eating phat thai in colourful ponchos under the rain :D (im gonna miss this!) Had foot massage while the rest had their neck/back/shoulder and it was really ticklish! Couldn't stop giggling~
Settled our dinner at a Thai restaurant, ordering their green & red curry, tom yum goong and all. As well as a tiger tower for jingxiang HAHAHA. Then we took a tuktuk to watch.... PING PONG SHOW! HAHAHA. The tuktuk ride to there was really fun! Because the 2 tuktuk drivers knew each other and they kept on racing each other! And wow, the traffic laws there are really different, they have no barricades in between a 2-way road and they can simply just u-turn to the opposite direction as and when they like. It was dangerous but it was really an adventure! Wanna do it all over again! But we felt really scammed after that! My advice to all who goes to BKK, remember to make sure the prices you pay for the tickets are reasonable. After that, we walked the nearby night market for a little while more before retiring for the night at the hotel. Had bubble bath with layting! Hahaha pampering ourselves!!! We three fell asleep while watching the telly!
On the third day, we woke up at about 6 am so as to prepare ourselves and have enough time for the buffet breakfast. Took a MPV cab to The floating market :D It was about a 1.5 to 2 hr car ride. Sit until pi gu pain arhhhhh. But, i love how the 8 of us squeeze on a MPV, feels heartwarming... :) Met up with Jon and his mum over there and they joined us on the sampan/boat ride to the floating market ^^ It was hell crowded but it was really an experience going to the floating market!! We get to view their houses on the river, their way of life and also them cooking food and selling them on the boat! Heheee and wanting bought the elephant pouches there ^^ A bangkok trip is never completed without a journey to the floating market. Then we had an impromptu decision to watch the Bangkok's most exciting show (drum rollssssss)...... COBRA SHOW! Wow, i'm totally amazed at the staff there having the courage and capability to control the pythons and cobras. Jiaying and I were still so scared for the raccoon trapped in a box, we thought it will be eaten by the cobras, but it turns out to be the other way round -.- They show us the poison snakes are able to produce and also took photos of people with the cobras being placed around my friends' neck!! Then we had another long cab ride down to the CHATUCHUK MARKET! Hehe but I don't know why the girls didn't had much things to buy! It was quite disorganized and the various stalls were scattered around. Most of the time we were busy buying food and the coconut ice cream was really D.O.P.E! We also got mexican wrap and some thai specialities ^^ Ironically, the guys bought alot of stuffs!
They took a tuktuk back to Baiyoke while the girls took a cab down to Central World. And omggggg we really had a fright of our lives! The cab driver drove into a shopping mall's carpark which was really dark and he didn't answered us when we asked where are we, instead he just smiled to himself. Only on the 3rd try then he did replied that he drove this way so as to avoid the traffic jam. HAHA JOKE WE REALLY CHUA SAI! Went to naraya and got alot of make up pouches and bags for my girlfriends hahaha i spent 1,800 baht in that shop!!! Topshop and forever21 there were basically of the same price so i didn't got anything there. Settled dinner at manhattan fish market because it was really so much cheaper. Lastly, we caught a movie at the theatre there it costs 160 baht which is about 6 sgd? Caught "Columbiana" and it was really quite nice! After which, the guys had an early night while the girls stayed up in my room ordering room service which were quite cheap. Got Jon to join us at my room and we got ourselves a pint of Heineken each. Did I mentioned beer there were really cheap? It only cost like SGD $1.50 HAHAHA, while it cost like SGD $10 a pint in the bars here?! And then we just practically crapped about stuffs hehe.
On the 4th day, Sunday, we had our last buffet breakfast again and went to Chatuchak Market again. This time round Jon and his mum joined us and we bought more things than the previous day! Things were really cheap and we just kept on bargaining haha! Got ourselves the coconut ice cream once again yumzzzz ^^ Wanting and Layting got themselves the china bag HAHAHA and we placed all our shopping loots in as we walked the entire market! Then we went back to hotel to place our stuffs and had lunch at the hotel's restaurant, PHAT THAI! Left Baiyoke hotel for Platinium Mall and we didnt had much time to shop finish the second mall beside Platinium :( Which was quite a pity :( we were practically chionging all the way in the mall. Did our last minute shopping at Central World and then had a quick rest at Starbucks. Walked back to our hotel from Central World, wanting to go for Thai massage after that but didn't did it in the end. In the end we got ourselves London Dry Gin, finished up our Whiskey and ordered in room service again :D We played drinking games and forced everyone NOT TO SLEEP HAHAHA. Eventually we succumbed to the sleeping monster and headed to sleep at ard 330 am, and woke up later than usual. We missed our check in at the airport by 1 minute. We nearly couldn't flew back to SG! And we basically ran all the way to the boarding gate HAHAHA jitao like drama seriously!
Back to SG now and I must say this trip was really awesome. One of the best so far! Can't wait for grad trip next year with the same group of people. PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN! Attachment starts tmrw. Mixed feelings about it? Kinda scared but yet looking forward to it. The corporate world. I will upload photos of bkk trip if i can and have the time.
CIAO! :D

Hi,
I'm back to blogging... because I guess I always need a space to write my thoughts out. Besides, I have left this space vacant for far too long, and so I doubt anybody will still bother to visit here. And that made me feel even more assured, as I can write out my thoughts here without anyone criticizing about it. You have no idea how scary the world is out there.
School has been busy. What's new right? School has never been free for one single day. I am in year 3 now, my final year. Senior year. I told myself I will work hard this last semester, but I guess, I am going to screw it up already. Things have taken a twist recently. Things have changed. I'm back to a solitary life. It's affecting me pretty much. I can't seem to find the focus I used to had, can't seem to find the motivation I used to possess anymore. I fear, that I will really screw everything up. And that's gonna be even more demoralizing for me. I never did liked the Year 2010. Because this is the year where everything changes... Maybe everything changed over the months, rather than overnight. I wished I had made things right from the beginning, really. Then at least, things will be different now. Things will be positive now.
Why is it always like this for me? When I don't intend to put in my 100% effort, things will never gonna work out and I ended up hurting people. But when I do finally put in my 100% effort, things still don't work out, and I ended up getting hurt. So what am I supposed to do? This time round, it affects me so much more than ever before. I thought we were. But I know for things to come to this stage, I hold the most responsibility. Guess humans are forever like that, learning things through the hard way, knowing the importance of something after it's gone. But it's all too late to regret. But I still regret. Still regretted not setting things right from the start.
Take care.

Oh god, haven't been touching this blog since the end of July. And it's already September. Time flies. This holiday has been pretty alright! But I guess this will be one of the suckiest holiday ever, other than the fact that I went to Genting for a break with my friends:) Sometimes, can't help but to wonder if it's me or, is the environment that has changed. Friends... are starting to get distant from me. Family... never changes for the better. Love... been getting complicated. Studies.... is an uncertainty.
Maybe the problem has always been me.

Oh god, really damn lazy to change my blog template. Been wanting to change it since a gazillion years ago. Haven't been blogging in a really long while! School has been really really busy and enriching, and also very fun at the same time:) Projects assignments tests are over, except the project execution for next week! Haha SSM is really scary, but it's amazing how it bonds a team of strangers together somehow. My social network had really expanded a lot, due to SSM. Its an experience of a lifetime, that is for sure.
2H04 had been a really good class, at least there wasn't much backstabber, gossips, weird people in this class, as compared to the rest of the year 2 classes friends often complain to me. And sugarloaf is making me spending money and making me feel sinful for eating all those sweet stuffs! Oh can't wait for the end of the semester really, though exams will be arriving in 1 month though. Yog, F1, ITB... well, guess my schedule gonna be really quite packed from the month of August to October! I'm going off now, will be back to blog whenever I can :)

Okay lah since i'm so free and bored now, i shall blog! Next week is the term test, only having Accounting paper, THANK GODDDD. After which, its the 2weeks' holidays which we all know isn't a holiday because we have to chiong projects!! Hate this man seriously.
TTO part2 - 19 July 2010 @ 5pm
TTO Field trip sharing - 25 June 2010 @ 5pm
Marketing - 28 June 12pm
BESE - 28 June
BESE Dining Task - 23 July (I suppose?)

All these projects are due when the term starts, fortunately we have finished our BOE & Apel2 :) The worse and horrifying thing is, when the term starts, I'M GONNA WORK IN TOP TABLE? Oh god, and I'm the assistant headwaiter for the first week, i'm scared things will just screw up:( Yeahhhhhhh can't wait for this semester to end really! Can't wait for ssm to end, in fact. Haha. But the sad thing is, I'm gonna be in a whole new different class again. This is tiring, having to switch classes and making new friends. Right now, I'm quite happy in my new class because everyone is pretty nice and I get along well with them!;) Like Audrey, Jia Ying, Shermaine and all:)
Wouldn't be blogging that often more particularly because 1)I've got no time 2) I'm lazy. Haha. CIAOOOOO!

Finally.. some time to update this really dead blog of mine. Well, sch has been really
busyyyyyyy. With
ssm and all, it really suck. But it's good that we are all in this together. However, its fortunate I made some friends in my new class already. Finally its the month of May. So many of my beloved friends' birthday:) I miss my friends. Need some ketchup session soon huh. Being an
SL for
freshies- 1H08 was really fun. Am glad, that they are all bonded now. The weather is really cranky these days. I've already fallen sick, and that, once again suck. So take care of yourselves huh everyone. Gonna have
ssm proficiency test 1 next week. GOD, i hope i can really hold the plates................................................................................
Recently, I have actually developed a different outlook on life. I became more pessimistic whenever the issue of "life" is being concerned. And I really wonder why is that so. Its like, too many things had happened within these past few months, making me losing faith, confidence and the ability to think that things are gonna change for the better and all those cliche lines we hear every now and then.
Honestly speaking, I don't want to give up. How could I give up when these past few years, I was already working and giving my all to achieve those goals?

Some distance is good
School has started. I'm in year 2, no longer a freshman. I'm a Junior Student now, and this means i'm gonna have more responsibilities than I ever had. Looking at all the subjects I'm gonna take this semester is enough to make me doubt my time management and capability to excel. Especially SSM. I'm so scared of ssm i swear, like its one of my worst nightmares ever. Holidays was short. It ended fast, and furiously. My new classmates were pretty fine, hopefully we will all get along. Things are going haywired. And the annoying weather just makes everything worse.
Sigh. I remembered a friend once told me this. "Don't talk so much. 'Cause in that way you won't say the wrong things". Guess this phrase is finally knocking some sense into me. Don't worry i'm gonna be fine. It's just one of those awful emo nights.
I'm hoping we can make some wishes outta airplanes.

Just some quick updates on my life.
Last thursday was the surprise for Layting @ Marina Barrage:) Followed by dinner at citylink then L4D2 @ Katong! Hahaha then supper at simpang. Jingxiang found a $50 note and treated us all to ice cream:) Yummy andersen's ice cream. Though that day passed very fast, but i really enjoyed it! Yesterday we got updated of the various classes we are gonna be admitted into in year2. Damn, i wasn't in the same class as any of my clique and so far, I don't even know who's in the same class as me. How terrible isn't it? I'm in the different class as my boyfriend too:( I'm kind of afraid of what the future holds for me. I'm afraid of being in a whole new environment again, knowing new people, unsure if they have any hidden agendas, and getting a whole new different kind of workload (SSM). I'm also afraid of losing contact or increasing the chances of everyone drifting apart again. But that's life. Yes, its harsh but true. Ah, just hope that everything's gonna be alright. Gotta be brave.
That day, had fishspa with weijie lol!!!! SO TICKLISHHHH but it really ate up lots of my dead skins^^ Awesome, thanks so much:) Headed back to sch ystd for sa meeting zzzzzzz 10am to discuss recruitment drive. The pan fried pork bun is so delicious! This week is the last week of holidays:( sad. Gotta head back to sch on thurs and fri for orientation since I'm a sl. Must remmeber to upload the mass dance song into my phone. Then followed by Qx's birthday party on sat and hopefully meetup with the usuals on sunday? I WANT AN IPHONEEEEEEEE.

I went to the temple to pay respects to my grandparents this morning. Looking back, its amazing how time flies. Feels like yesterday was just the day I headed to the hospital to have a last look at my grandfather. Life's really short. Life, measured in terms of moments that took your breath away, rather than how many breaths you took. I don't want to grow old next time and look back at my life. I don't want to look back in regret for not doing certain things I should and had done. Neither do I want to look back in anger for doing certain things I know I should never had done. With every ending comes a new beginning, with every death comes a new life.
Give me some strength and courage.

My blog is so dead. That was because I was busy working from 10-28march at taka's baby fair, followed by SL training camp from 29-31march. It was a hectic month i must say. Work was interesting though I kind of dread it. Reason why it keeps me going is probably due to my friends and kids. SL camp was alright. Day 1 was horrible, had to play dirty games and i swear it was very dirty. Ended up soaking my clothes for 3days. And I gotta learn TP mass dance by heart so i can teach the freshies! Class chalet was funfunfun hahah 3d2n, probably because my clique stayed on for 2nights. Then I met up with besties on thursday!!! Damn i miss them so muchhhhhhh plz! Not to mention the usuals:( All of them are so busy cause its their Alevels' year and that suck because it means lesser gatherings:( Finally had pasta, been craving that for ages! The other day, met up with howe, yiqi, chap & bas! Went to "The Hangout". Played WII. Supermario and raving rabbits! HAHA, and also guitar hero. Wii just reminds me of shengxiang's house. It was good we catched up:)
Lately, I can't stop listening to those songs I used to love few years back! And i wonder why is that so.... Please let my pay come in soon:( OHYES, everyone plz support shengxiang & layting! Go to
http://carrislabelle.livejournal.com :) :) School's starting in a few weeks' time. GOSHHH CANNOT IMAGINE SSM!:( And when sch starts, everything's gonna be different. Environment, workload and friends. Wish me good luck, guys.

I had the weirdest dream ever yesterday night. But it was a good dream. I dreamt of me wearing my Peirce uniform in the school canteen, chatting with Chewing Gum. Then I walked away to watch rugby competition (??) Then saw khai, Zak & Edwayne. I was so happy to see them!! Then we catched up on lives and suddenly poof! I woke up. Everything feels like those good old days, those days in Peirce. I saw my box hiding in a corner of my room and just can't help but to take it out and relieve all those good memories. There were class photos, gifts from friends on occasions like Valentines' Day, Graduation Day and so on and so forth. There were also letters I used to write to Howe, Rachel, Chew & etc. How we used to share gossips and secrets hahaha. We were all so silly back then. Still remembered Lynn & I used to write to Chen when she was away in Philippines in p6! I will check my letter box everyday and jump for joy when I received it. And those neoprints??? Damnnnnnn there were really tons of it. Ah those days..... really miss it. Guess everyone does too. Meeting shan later hip hip hooray! Bye all.

Came across this paragraph which I find it exceptionally sweet.
Life only comes around once make sure u spend it with the right person....Find a guy.. who calls you beautiful instead of hot.Who calls you back when you hang up on him.Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the guy who..... kisses your forehead.Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.Who holds your hand in front of his friends.Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.Who turns to his friends and says, " That's her!! "1 more day to meeting my poly clique to bai nian and 2 more days to nata's sanbei. I.need.a.job. Anyone can help me out?
