Back from Phuket

Just landed in Singapore approximately 2 hours ago. This trip was truly relaxing and enjoyable! Didn't do much except to suntan in the mornings and afternoons, and to go for night swimming in the pool at night. What's best was that although I didn't manage to get to stay in the hotel I originally wanted, I managed to get a very great room at Seaview Patong. Our room was right in front of the swimming pool! All we had to do was open the balcony doors and we were at the pool. It was cool! And the bathtub was amazing! Pics will be up shortly when I have the time to upload them. Everyday was just the sun, the sand and the sea. Perfect and true bliss! Never felt so relaxed in ages and I totally dreaded coming back to Singapore. Wish I can stay there forever! And what's fantastic was that the sea water was so clean! It's the first time I can ever go swimming in the sea and yet, my rash didn't outbreak given the super sensitive skin that I have. It was that wonderful! ...

The Rich & The Poor

The time that I spent in Bangkok, I learnt that there is a very vast difference between the rich and the poor. Every time I'm there, I see beggars on the streets. Not that there's anything wrong, but there are kids sleeping at roadsides and lots of crippled people begging for food. The worst is, I nearly kicked a guy who was slumped on the middle of the pavement. He was lying there begging and he did not have his right leg. That image is so unforgettable that I don't think I can ever forget that incident. It got me thinking.. Why is it that some people are so rich there and yet others are so pitiful? I mean, I know nobody likes to be known as pitiful but somehow, I can't help feeling that way. Sighz.. Isn't there anyway or anything that people can do to help? Doesn't feel good.. Saw an old man today.. Think he suffered from stroke and he was having problems walking. It really makes me sad to see people suffering like that. I guess some people will think that he...

Back from Bangkok

I'm back from my trip to Bangkok. This trip was more relaxing than the last time I went, probably coz when I went last year, it was my first time there hence we explored more places. Stayed at Asia Hotel this time. It's 5 mins walk to MBK and Siam area, where all the shopping can be done. As always, I bought the most stuff on the first day so that I can relax for the next few days. Hehe. Went to Suan Lom night market for dinner that nite. We even had time to head back to the hotel room to put our things down and rest a while before heading for the night market. There was a ferris wheel there and I went on it. Think it's the first time I took the ferris wheel and the sight was really nice. Enjoyed myself! Woke up at 9.30am (Singapore time) for breakfast. Went back to the room for a short nap after that before bathing and heading to Pratunam market. Shopped til evening time and headed back to hotel to put down our purchases, rest and took a cab to Khao San where it was the ba...

Changi Airport

At Changi Airport right now using the free internet while Felix is in the toilet with a tummyache. As always, I must leave my last words before I fly off and leave the country. Will be heading to Bangkok for a 4 days 3 nights trip this time. Don't think I'll be travelling around the place as much as I did the other time when I went with Ali, Lao Da, Anne and Stef. Think I miss the whole clan of people. But 1 thing that I'm glad about is that I'm FINALLY taking a break from work. The last time I took leave was in June and since then, I've been slogging my ass off at work. Been working til 9pm every nite when I start work at 8.30am. Even worked til 12 midnight just to clear off my work to go on this trip. Haha. Time I start enjoying and relaxing myself.. I need a good break from work. Hope everything goes well in office and that I managed to clear my stuff as much as I can. I can't remember if I've forgotten to do anything but I sure hope I did not. :p To my d...
