Yippee!! About time I blogged :)

Left for Bangkok, Thailand last May 21, 2008. Went with my cousins Lester and Liezel, with their mummy, Ai Z. Ai Z and I had been planning to go to Thailand since.. the last time I was in Singapore. Not sure if that was last year or last, last year. Anyway, finally, the plans pushed through and we found ourselves in a rockin' nice hotel at Bangkok. It's called Novotel and it's location is just perfect coz it's near the MRT and a few shopping malls.

We weren't traveling on tour like we did in China, but as a joke, we claimed that we are traveling on Ochura agency. Haha! Our first stop was at the Four-face Buddha. My Ai Z has told my mummy before that this Buddha has made her wishes come true and so every time she goes to Thailand, she drops by this Buddha to pray. If I had known that earlier, I could have wished for something more grand. Haha kidding! I just didn't know what else to wish for. I hope it comes true though ;)

Next stop was at the Grand Palace. We took the ferry boat tour over the murky waters that somewhat resembled the Pasig River but I'd have to say that the Pasig River reeks of hell more, though. It was really scary to go on the boat because I don't know how to swim (grins/evil laughs/any show of teeth are not allowed beyond this point >:P). So I held on to Lester while we go on the raft to the ferry boat. There was this one time when I asked a Thai woman how to get to station 1 and because we couldn't understand each other, she took my arm and lead me towards the exit of the boat. T________T That sht was scary. Does she even know how to swim?! I don't even have my life vest on yet!! Anyway, the Grand Palace was really grand. No doubts about it.

We went inside one of the temples at the Grand Palace and that's when I learned that there's actually a proper way of sitting inside such temples. Both feet have to be behind you. No Indian sitting position. Must sit like mermaids. Grand, yea?

The last stop was definitely not the least - shopping!! Haha! Did you know that Thai munny is called Butt?! It's not. It's Baht. You have to be melodious in saying the amount and the word Baht.

In many ways, Thailand is very much like the Philippines. Only, some stuff are a LOT cheaper than the buys here. I love the M&M-colored cabs! I love the pastrieees at the hotel! YUM! I'd have to say, I learned the final touches of learning to eat spicy food in that country. I had a lot of practice eating the Fire Flosss at Sg. Haha!

Ok, unfortunately, after all my blabbing, the uploading of the photos are still not done. 0.0 Please visit, as usual, my multiply for the Thailand pix.

How is it possible for people to fall in love without even meeting for a first time?

Surely, we have heard of stories during the olden times, back when people would phone each other without really knowing who is at the other end of the line. Talk for hours on end and voila, they fall in love.

I don't believe in love at first sight. I don't believe in love at no sight, either.

**

How would you feel when somebody keeps your hopes up that you'd see each other soon and then end up not seeing each other at all? Is it not worse than the feeling of rejection? Oh wait, isn't that the same as rejection?

A friend came by yesterday to meet my mom. He brought cake because he didn't want to come empty-handed.

I think I'd like to introduce more people to my mom in the future. So she'd know which crowd I'm hanging around with. And that way, she'd learn to trust me. Eventually.

**

I always wonder what happened between us. Was I the one who ruined us? Years have passed and it seems, I have unfinished business with you. I wonder until when it would haunt me. It would be selfish of me to not wish you happiness. But I would be a hypocrite to wish it for you.

Live. And let me live.

My cousins' cousin is here on vacation so we took her to Sentosa. My Aunt got tickets to 2 rides (+ 1 free) at the Luge and Skyride for us. Haha! It was fun! I mean, I've been in those things before but when I'm on the rode, I feel so free! The only thing that is limiting me is the "vegetation" surrounding the track. Haha!



Here's when we were on the Skyride. We were really nervous that the phone might fall to the ground! Bye-bye N73! Haha!



Ok I'm quite sleepy. Can't blog coherently (that's if I EVER blog coherently :P).

Today is such an UN-glam day.

1. I missed a step while I was at the Science Center. I twisted my left ankle and then my butt hit the floor. So embarrassing!! But I was laughing my head off when I got up and tried to stretch my leg. Now my leg still hurts. 0.0

2. There's this exhibit at the Science Center where you have to take a photo of yourself and then get a makeover. So here's what happened to us:



It's like the search for the next Ugly Betty, right?

3. We got McDonald's hot fudge sundae and for some sick reason, I thought about getting some of the fudge stuck on my teeth. When I tried to imagine how I looked like, I couldn't stop laughing. WAHAHAHA!

Woke up *kinda* early to jog with Lester. When we got back home an hour later, I was so tired and sleepy and I didn't really want to go out anymore. But he said he'd take me to this restaurant called "My Secret Garden". Says it's a really special resto so I couldn't back out.

We walked for SOME minutes before we were able to find the resto. Of course, it was built in such a "secretive" place. O.O



Lester with his Tenderloin steak. I just found out that he cannot eat fresh tomatoes. Says it makes him puke. Ew. Haha! And he doesn't eat carrots because he's "not a rabbit". Whatever. I could have kicked the a55.



Weee!! I LOVE my Cilantro Chicken. Thigh, please! :D Looking too excited, aren't I? :P
My meal had mashed potatoes so I felt really heavy afterwards. But Lester insisted that we try some desserts. I decided on the Triple Choc and he just had to ask for ice cream to go with it. Piggie! :P



We had planned to see Made of Honour but turns out, it isn't showing until the 15th. :( So we agreed on seeing Over Her Dead Body instead. We found it funny so it wasn't such a waste of cash. Haha!

Before leaving the house, I had asked Lester to ask Pui if she wanted to come along after her Jap lessons. I sort of knew that she wouldn't want to come because she's probably still mad at me. Anyway, she said no because her friend was coming over. She's still not talking to me :( I really don't like this feeling. I mean, who does? I know I'm like intruding already, I'm like the 7th wheel, being with this family. Of course I have to adjust to them, right? I'm in their territory? So that's what I'm trying to do and it's hard enough that I'm not really close to their Achie. Lester is rarely home and Pau is usually busy. It's like I'm relying on her to make things "easier" for me. I mean, I know I wouldn't want any of them feeling left out when they're over at our place. It just makes me really sad.. And now I feel like I wanna wish for the days to go faster so I can go home :(

Oh, they're grandma's here :) I've met her before and I'm really glad that she remembers me ^^ I had wanted to come along to the airport to pick her up but then I don't think we would have fit in the car :(

I forgot to mention that Lester and I went to church yesterday. It was a good crowd. A lot of people were jumping up and down and dancing and singing really loudly because it was Pentecost. I met a few new friends during the event. It was a really good experience for me. Had I known that Singaporeans are this serious about religion, I would have been going to mass here since I started coming here by myself :)

I miss my own amah. I know we'll see each other soon though. ^^



Oh, this is us trying my cam phone's capabilities. Not bad, huh?
