Bangkok 2008
Before anyone starts criticising or have any comments about why I am in another relationship again, there are some things I need to make clear.
I did not get myself pissed drunk the 2nd half of last year for no reason. I did not go drinking coz I was happy nor do I enjoy the feeling of hangover or vomitting like mad. I did not go on trips coz I was rich. I did not do a lot of the things I did coz I was a contented with life or happy about how things are going. My life was a mess... I was a mess.
Ask Felix how much I cried, how much I drank, how much I vomitted. He saw the worst side of me when I didn't want anyone to see me that way. He saw me at my most vulnerable yet I had to be strong in every single way. It took a lot of courage and time, and of coz a lot of events, before I was ready to move on. It hasn't exactly been a smooth road for me for the last 6 months but I'm glad that when I decided to move on, things went my way.
K.. I'm back in Singapore from my very fantastic trip to Bangkok. Where should I start? Let's go day by day if I can remember. Left office at 6pm to meet JZ and proceed to the airport. Checked in and shopped at duty free for perfume. Took us so long to decide and it was time to board. Haha. 1st time taking Swiss Air. Not too bad! Watched Heartbreak Kid on the plane. :p
Reached Bangkok and took a cab to Sukhumvit where we were staying.. Dream Hotel (Dream - just like my blog). Amazingly, I can still remember this area and even most of the places in Bangkok at the back of my mind. Knew how to get around really easily. Put our bags down and went to the convenience store to grab drinks and snacks. Showered and slept as it was almost 1 or 2am.
Saturday (26 Jan 2008) - Woke up at 10.30am for breakfast at the rooftop beside the swimming pool. Cool! But breakfast variety was little. Hmmz.. Anyway, went to JJ Market (Chatuchak) via BTS (aka MRT). I'm good with the BTS, thanks to Lao Da and Ali for bringing me around via BTS the very 1st time I was at BKK. Hehe. Walked around non-stop til 6pm and I was soooo dead tired. Took the tuk tuk to MBK for steamboat at MK International. Ate a lot!!! Walked around a bit til the shops were all closing and we headed back. Took BTS to Nana and walked from there to our hotel. Shopped at the stalls along the way.
Sunday (27 Jan 2008) - I woke up at 11.30am. He went out to get my brunch coz he knew I won't wake up so early. So sweet of him to let me sleep in. While he was out, I showered and read the papers for a while and he came back. Bought me wanton noodles from a stall at Chit Lom. :p Ate and went to Chinatown via cab coz no BTS station at Chinatown. Bought food stuff to bring back (by order of my wonderful colleagues) and walked around the area. Hot and humid. Couldn't take it at 6+pm and we went to Chit Lom area.
Shopping centre called Central and we shopped there. He loves buying Adidas there. Bought so much stuff at Adidas! I did 2 hennas at a stall outside Central and bought 2 tops. Hehe. Saw a very nice jacket at Adidas store in Central but coz henna wasn't dry so couldn't try it on. This mall is even bigger than Vivo City! We were lost so many times!! Bought Gelate ice cream!! Went to Scala Chinese Restaurant for sharks fin at Hotel Intercontinental basement. Had birds nest too!! :) My fave!! Headed to Suan Lum Night Market and managed to walk only 1 section as it was almost midnight by time we finished the section.
Monday (28 Jan 2008) - Time flies.. Wish it will pass slower.. Sighz.. He went upstairs for breakfast without me as he was hungry and I don't like the breakfast anyway. Bathed and was almost ready by time he came back. Headed to MBK for the day. Shopping at aircon area feels good. Hehe. Grabbed some food and walked around. Had my period just before stepping out of my hotel room made the day sucky. Was feeling so lethargic and dead. Even shopping couldn't perk me up. Took a panadol as well. Thank God I don't have really severe cramps or very bad PMS symptoms. Just lethargy.
He knew I wasn't feeling good so he suggested that I go for manicure and pedicure so that I can sit down and rest. Good suggestion! Did both manicure and pedicure for only 550 baht. Cheap!!! And I love what I chose!! Hehe. He went to tailor make pants and shirts while I was doing my nails. Felt more human after the rest and went shopping at Siam. A small building with all the kind of clothes that I like. I always shop there actually. Haha.
Both of us were feeling hungry by then but wanted to go to Central again to get more of his Adidas stuff and the Adidas jacket that I really like. That jacket actually cost close to S$200!! He paid for it without saying a word. But, he's paid for everything without saying a word actually. Had steamboat dinner at Coca at Times Square opposite our hotel. Ate a lot again!! Had birds nest for dessert. Shiokz!!
Monday (29 Jan 2008) - He woke me up at 11.30am before heading to pray. Supposed to check out but I don't care. Asked for extension. Haha. He prayed and came back about 1pm. Finished all the packing and headed for airport at 1.30pm. Had a bad experience at boarding gate that caused the 2 of us to be pissed but not with each other. Glad that episode is over. Can't stand the Thai immigration folks. So disorganised. Anyway, I had a super fun trip!!
He gave in to all my whims and requests. Everything that I wanted, he simply paid for. I've never ever shopped like that before. He treated me so well the whole time we were there. No arguments or quarrels.. Maybe I nagged a little but it was for his own good. Happy that all's well between us. :) And he finally took pics with me!!! At long last. Will upload it when I'm more free.
To my ever dearest Matt, don't be jealous.. I still love u with all my heart! Hehehe. Need to tell u something.. From the bottom of my heart.

Ur kindness and ur friendship have and will stay with me forever. :) I can't wait for u to be back!!! And yes, u do look younger than ur age. Hehehe.
