28th Aug - 31st Aug

I had a really interesting time in Bangkok. Apparently, ppl thought we were Thai, Philipino and Singaporean. LOL!!

Stuff wuz so cheap (exchange rate is RM 1 = 10 baht)….its like shoppin in Petaling Street…but i didnt really buy much. We (my family & I) did a lot of sight-seeing

• Grand Palace - Big courtyard with the palace & other admin offices
• Siam center, MBK Plaza - shopping
• The Golden Mount - this big temple which is gold and we had to walk up countless of stairs
• Thai restaurants
• A river cruise (and dinner) along the Chou Phraya river

I especially liked the river cruise…coz it was a new experience for me. Except that the band so “pok” (duno how to translate this)!!!!!!! Lousy..!! and they even had this Mat Rock singer…OMG! Uh….bad experience..dat part. I managed to see a lot of nice buildings along the river bank and the “main attraction” - according to the brochure - was the biggest suspension bridge in the world - no idea whether it’s true or not?

Shopping….i didnt really buy a lot of things…juz a couple of souviners for ppl back here. Oh yeah…but i did buy 2 things which i absolutly love. One is a pure silver pendant studded wif rubies & cubic zirconia (sp?) and another is a decorative light which is like christmas lights but each bulb is covered with coloured dried leaves to give the impression of flowers…really nice!!! hope to post up a pic soon. But anyway here are some pics of the trip…

Enjoy!!!!!

Riding in a tuk-tuk…im at the back next to my sis in red

In the courtyard of the Grand Palace

A quaint little shop in Bangkok International Airport shaped to look like a house, complete wif carvings on the roof.

Decided not to go. IF…and only if my parents did not already book the flight to Bangkok, I would go without any qualms. But as it stands, they already bought it and i dont mind goin if i’ll get scolded but not if i would cause them to lose more money.

Still on silent mode…not really talking to them….

I was planning on writing a pretty interesting blog bout my day in Midvalley yesterday but I got into a really big fight with my parents. Then I ended up saying that Miri wuz a lot better. Then they said “Go back there then!!”

Well, I for one cannot hear a challenge without accepting it. And that, to me is a challenge. My first thought wuz going to sort of “run away” to Miri one of these days (I wuz planning today but decided to think about it first).

There is a flight tomorrow (fri) at 8.30 pm. Ticket cost is RM 433 but I have a Student Membership card for 25% off, meaning it’s 324.75 .Loads of money but I have an open ticket for any domestic flight worth Rm 600 which would be able to cover my flight expenses.

Downside, i dont know what my parents reaction would be if i secretly left. And we’re planning of going to Bangkok this Sat (which I’m not interested in already).

Upside, I can get away from living here…which i hate coz I dont have friends or anything to do. Life here sucks! In Miri, I have a place to stay (my former hse which i’m still renting coz already signed a contract) and food isnt a prob bcoz i still have money in my bank account.

The only question is how to get to the airport. I can either follow a fren (which d chances are very slim) or take a taxi from my condo to Taman Bahagia LRT station then take an LRT (Light Rail Transit system) to KL central and take an express to KLIA. The lrt to KL Central is quite cheap. From KL Central to KLIA it’s around rm45.

Wondering if i should go or is it irrational??

Didnt really do anything these past 2 days. Slept a lot (as usual).

Oh yeah…i watched The Girl Next Door. Not bad movie….downloaded the DVD version so it wuz uncensored *wink*…hehe…it wuz quite nice tho….i didnt really expect the ending..but it wuz a lil bit funny.

Going out to Midvalley later by LRT so today should be interesting with window-shopping wif my sis. We always go around trying things & not buying them…ehehhe At least the shop keepers here are not so suspicious of you…like they let u try out stuff even tho eventually we dont buy…hehehe…

Oh well, Gladys (my sis) wants to use the comp so i Gtg~! Bubai..and see u all later.

oh yeah, i’ve been added as a guest blogger in “The Single Life” blog so I’m going to post something up there soon. Look out for it

All I can say is almost everything I did today wuz in connection wif food. Wuz up & online early aorund 8 am (!!!)….well…actually havent really slept since d day before coz overslept (refer last post). Wanted to eat pancakes…but no gas Then my mom said d gas man wuz coming at 9 am. {Yay!} Managed to finally make my pancakes smeared with peanut butter and kaya {No! Not together! In 2 seperate pancakes lah}. Online till like 1 pm while everyone else slept. My sis didnt go to school….school holidays for about a week.

When everyone finally woke up…they wanted to eat, but of course they wuz no food. No bread, No cooked rice, no sausages, only 1 can of mushroom soup or maggi mee…..which we didnt really feel like eating. After a bit more digging around we manage to find something {Thank goodness!!}………………….uncooked burger meat & potatoes. So we decided to cook burgers…….oh wait, we dont have bread…..so my sis & mom went shopping….and now we have food in d hse. When they got home, i cooked lunch {not really lunch, it wuz almost 4 pm then} and we finally ate……except that at this point, im not that hungry so juz ate a burger even tho we had soup, more burgers, mash potatoes and french fries…..all made by, who else?, Me!

My sis wants to take over the comp now so i guess i’ll go play 1 round of Gunbound before handing it over….sleepy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *yawN*

22nd Aug (Sunday)
Didnt really sleep d nite before coz wuz chatting wif frens about some things. Damn tired but had to got to church. P&W wuz lousy…miss being in KK!!! Went for lunch, came back, felt sick & slept from ard 2pm to 11 pm…woke up, ate dinner and go online

21st Aug (Saturday)
Im so tired. This afternoon (ard 2.30 pm) we took a long drive to some fishing village in Negeri Sembilan to meet up with my Grandmother & Auntie’s family (mother’s side). I slept the whole way…but felt really sick on the way there so vomited….eww….

The good thing : it wuz really great seafood and really cheap too. I’ve never eaten as many varieties of seafood in one meal. hehehe….eat until puas Crab, prawns, fish, squids, lobster all in one sitting

But still…..almost 5 hrs drive (to & fro) for good seafood?? I’d rather not…and my dad doesnt want to anymore. thank goodness!! I think this car ride still doesnt top the one we took to Limbang, Sarawak from KK, Sabah just to buy durians. It was about 5 hrs drive to and fro except with the smell of durians on the way back!!!
“Why din put it in the boot?” i hear u say….well, my dad drives a Honda CRV - no closed boot.
