YET ANOTHER
Another country ventured.... another city conquered.
Bangkok, Thailand.
I suppose the Thai experience would not be completed without doing the following things:
1) Riding the Tut tut
2) 'Backpacking' at Chatucak
3) Eating the papaya salad and beef noodles
4) Eerr experiencing the obsence and prohibited... well glancing in is good enough for me :)
5) Going down the floating market
6) Getting a good body massage
Anything else to add?
7) Oh ya perhaps riding the elephant?
I did all the above except for the last 2. Nah I'll surely be screaming and cringing when they straighten out my muscles after 2 days of solid workout at Chatucak and there just wasn't an opportunity to get close and personal with the elephants.
I did massive shopping and bought a lot of things, not only for myself but for my extended family too! Yay! *Luckily I didn't exceed the baggage limit.
Food wasn't that all difficult... Although the halal sign is scarce, we manage to source out the places. And another unexpected thing was the cool weather. It was 'winter' season when I was there and the air was cool although the sun was shining hard. Besides cheap shopping, the weather is another thing I miss especially and seems like I'll have to entertain myself indoors since Mr Rain is very hard at work. With parents away at Malacca, I thought I could escape with some mischief outside. I guess Mum got her doas right hehe.
My return back home generally wraps up the year-end holiday. As soon as I set foot on Changi Airport, there was this instantaneous adrenaline rush of reality, of the fact that I've been shaking my legs long enough and work will soon set in. The staff meeting is just next week and school is going to reopen soon. So I'll have just a few days left to recharge and set my mind and body right for the coming year.
AZA AZA FIGHTING!!
*Oh no I didn't spell my name wrongly.... you just have got to watch Full House to know it.
I guess staying indoors without my parents isn't going to be that bad. I have it all planned out. I shall glue myself to my laptop and finish up another Korean drama series , ' The Secret Lovers'.
And that is all I'm going to do for the next two days.........
Let's enjoy the rain while it lasts.
