Bangkok???

Weird title eh? I have been thinking for a while now and I don't know what to put for the title so this should suffice, I hope. :p

I was in Thailand for a week, Bangkok specifically. Was supposed to be a relaxation trip with my family but end up we shopped till we drop! And yes we did not miss out the temples there too. What happened to the good ol fashion holidays where people just sit and relax, do nothing and just enjoy the moments?

Indeed a lot had happened for the past few months, Good times as well as bad times. Only the bad times had caught up with me so much that I had to escape somewhere. So no one could find me. But alas, I was found...

I got this ticket to Bangkok since last year where Airasia had this promotion for free tickets. My sister was trying almost 24 hours just to get us a ticket to Bangkok. Initially we wanted Macau so I could go back to Hong Kong again. And yes, Hong Kong. I miss the country so much...


While on the plane, I thought this picture would look really nice. Hence I tried snapping a picture and Vioala! It looked terrific!


This is the new airport in Bangkok. Damn it look so nice especially with its lightings and so on. Yes a lot of people in there. A very busy airport indeed.

We got a very cheap tour for 7 of us to tour around half day in the city as well as 2 of Bangkok's famous temples. Cost us only 500 Bath. Great price eh? We had our own private van, our private tour guide and yes, no food...sigh.. but it still worth the money though.

First stop we went to this temple which i have forgotten the name, It has the famous gold buddha. Whole thing made of pure gold.


This is my mom and my sis, taking picture of this Gold buddha. Looks pretty shining isn't it? Amazingly, though it is made of pure gold, no one would steal it. In fact the door remains open throughout the day. I'm not sure about night though but yea according to the people there, No one would steal it despite the value.


Look at the statue's eyes!! My goodness they look so real! I thought it was actually a corpse in there but wrapped around in Gold. I spent hell a lot of time observing this statue thinking it might just move or something. Jump at you scaring the lights out of ya! haha


"My love, My own... MY PRECIOUSSSSSSS!!"

Well the next visit is called Wat Poh. It is a HUGE temple....and of course to have a huge temple, you need a huge name to tag along with it. Wanna check it out?? RM10 bucks to those who could pronounce the whole name correctly!!! haha


Ok the first 2 words I believe you can't see so I'll show it here. It's called Wat Phra Chetuphon. The rest you guys go figure.


Nice sight eh? It's actually a cemetary. Rich people would buy up these Pyramids (that's what they call it) and when they die, their ashes will be placed there. Sounds glamourous ain't it? Above their ashes, a Buddha will be placed in there.


This is the main hall where the Buddha is placed. Looks grand.


Last but not least, The sleeping Buddha. It is damn freaking long! Can't remember the exact measurements but it is an awesome sight!


HAHA My sister, A poser indeed. I am showing this picture it's not coz of her. But merely coz of of the background scenary.




We stayed in a crappy yet dodgy hotel called Bangkok City Inn. Trust me, the place is real dodgy... But of course it's very near the main shopping area. There's a few though namely Gaysorn, Central World, Erawan, Siam Paragon, Siam Square, Siam Discovery and Siam Center. Yes indeed hell a lot of shopping malls around the area... Not the mention the girls there are like WHOAH!! unfortunately they can rarely speak english so there's no way we could communicate. So yea I kinda just let it go....


And yes september is the month of the king due to his birthday so every building you'll see a picture of him being displayed. This country really respects their king. Unlike our country where there are even folks who didn't know there's a king existed in the country! hahaha.

Oh yes speaking of English, they are so great till you can actually get this from a shopping mall...



And yes there are products that could put you in a worse situation that you are already at...



Girls, be careful with the products you use.

Lastly, The food there. Imagine, McDonalds with pork!! Yes we don't get it here in Malaysia




Chicken wings drumlet... Heavenly taste though


Cheesy Fries anyone?


Even the chilly sauce is different.




Double Big Mac!!!

And yes The KFC is fantastic too. Love the chicken drumlet though exquisite tast of hot and spicy. Without a doubt it puts Malaysia's hot and spicy to shame.


I know I know you guys must think I'm a crazy fella who loves drumlets. Well actually I don't really have much preferences but so happens the serving of drumlets are small, less filling and you can taste it's full flavour without getting full in the process.


Zinger burger. Yea it gets an award for being extra spicy. Damn it's good.

I had local food too but nothing to really brag about coz to me, it's pretty much so-so. I had loads to shop and of course loads to see. Will tell you more on my next posts. LOL the funny stuff...

Don't Blame Others If You Don't Tell

Today's topic: Don't blame others for not understanding your situation if you intend to keep it hidden.

Many a times people tend to hide things from others, be it their loved ones, their friends or even from their family. But throughout the person's struggle, they tend to blame others for not understanding them. Blaming others for not being able to empathize them for their struggle throughout their issues.

This is a common practise that people tend to do on daily basis. I don't deny that I do it from time to time. Well, normally it's because we may think it's noble to hide things away from others and suffer alone. I would personally think it's for the better coz why would I wanna share others with my burden when they themselves have their own fair share of troubles. This is only solely speaking about sharing your burdens with friends.

But for people who are in a relationship or even married, Doing so is not going to be healthy for the relationship. It actually tense up the bond between 2 people. When one couple decides to hide things away from their partner, It would definitely make the other partner thinks that he/she is not trusted. When people feels their not being trusted, what would they do? They would get frustruated. Arguments would break loose and a whole lot of episodes of dramas after that.

If 1 person choose to keep the other in the dark, The person is entitled for their own persumptions. I mean of course you gotta try asking what is wrong and so on; but for how long? How long could you probe wanting to understand your partner? Honestly, there is a limit. After asking or seeking for answers for a certain time limit, that person would jusr give in to their own thoughts and own persumptions. And start accusing and maybe even start arguing from time to time.

I am one of them. I have been kept in the dark on certain issues for a long time now. All I want is an answer and of course some others that follows behind but it is just something what everyone would want. I mean if you care for someone, you would obviously want to know every single detail about that someone. Be it cliches or even serious matters that may be bothering the person you care. It's just nature. Well that being of course I'm a curious bug as well :P

Yea yea there's always a saying to contradict every statement such as, "Curiousity kills the cat" or "Don't ask when you're not ready to know" Bla Bla Bla..... But hey we're human and it's within our nature to be curious. What more about your loved ones. Right? Why would I want to bother about you if you don't mean a lot to me? Don't everyone have their own hands full with their own problems or troubles? But yet we took time off from our troubles to care for our loved ones. I would do so for my loved ones and of course I would expect nothing less than this from them as well when my time comes where I need comfort as well.

Sigh, it's just something I thought I want to rent about but yea deep inside me is spinning like crazy. There's so many things I want to know about something but somehow it's been 7 months and I still can't get an answer out of it. Cheers guys. Hope this thought would bring some of you to think about understanding your own relationship partner(s). hehehe

Another Holiday on the Queue

Matta Fair 2007 had just ended last night. Guess what? I got myself a 4d/3n trip to Bali, Indonesia. What was attracting me was the Place they allocated for me to stay. Seminyak Villa!!

The whole design of that hotel is spectacular! I mean it's really ideal for some relaxation. In Malaysia there's always this tradition that the pictures comes out WAY much nicer than the actual thing itself. For example, food and hotels. Let's just hope this tradition is not adapted in Bali. haha. Yes it's quite inconvenient coz the place is like a good 10 minutes walk away from town (according to the travel agent who happens to be a Balinese) Walking in the night is fine but during the day time, guess I'll probably get a cab ride to town instead.

Wanna know why I got fooled into this deal?? Here's Why!




Can you resist?! OMG it's so freaking beautiful!

Basically you stay in a villa, you have your own private rooms, private swimming pool, private area and well the whole part is private mwahahaha...

Check out your villa...










You even have your own private outdoor dining area. NEXT TO A POOL!!!


It's like it's calling to me asking to come come and come! I mean the landscape itself is so fantastic. Again, let's hope that the picture is really showing the true deal ok? *fingers crossed*

Not to mention this whole package comes with a 2 hours Lusur Massage. Well according to the travel agent, there would be someone coming over to your villa and bring you over to a spa for your therapy. I wonder what is lusur massage but yea they showed me some picture that looks something like this...







Cool eh?? And guess what? The whole deal only cost RM571!! Inclussive of a half day city tour where there would be someone bringing you around Bali for sight seeing. You know what? MORE PHOTOGRAPHY FOR ME!!

Well air ticket's quite reasonable as it summed up around RM362.98 I think... LOL but the put off part is, I gotta wait till January 2008 to travel for this deal.. Sigh. I have no more annual leaves to take for this year as my leaves are planned and fully booked. So let's keep our fingers crossed, Shall we?
