Back from Thailand~

We just came back from thailand today... had a wonderful time in both chiang rai and bangkok~!

Jus a snippet of the holiday,

Its quite cold in chiang rai~ their pace of life is quite slow, and the people are generally nice ppl... imagine this, most of the vehicles there are trucks and bikes, but they will slow down and stop for people to cross the road even when there is no traffic lights~ Hmmm... We rented a car on the 2nd day, got lost finding the long neck hill tribe and ended up driving along a mountain road that resembles those we see in the initial D anime or movie! Hahaa~ But we dun dare to drive too fast also lah~ Oh!! My dad's Chicken Rice Shop is there too~! So if you are going to Chiang Rai, muz get the address from me kk? Hahaa!

As for bangkok, most memorable is the fact that we got cheated for the "Thai ger" show~ Long story lah~ Hiaz... Other than that, nik and andy paid 1800baht to watch the real Thai Boxing matches while me and sis went shopping at suan lum... But we managed to sneak in to watch the final match between two small but fierce boys~! We spent most of our time shopping there... Shop and Shop~ Chatuchak market is now called as Ja tu Jak or JJ market! Haha~ More "modernised" le~ Haha! But its jus the name lah, everything else remains pretty much the same...

The most disappointing part of the bangkok trip would probably be our hotel... we paid quite a lot for a small hotel, but the service were quite bad at the start... lousy rooms... lousy spa arrangements... but in between were okay... den ended with lousy service again when checking out... Hiaz...

Overall? Quite fun ba! Shopping... Relaxing... Sprained Ankle... Wahahaa!! OH!!! So Sorry! No souveniors, coz i'm already very broke! Next time kk?

Wonder when will be our next trip~!

What have i been doing?

Hmmm... After the whole "mechanic" experience yesterday, i realised that i haven't been blogging much. Since i happen to be quite free today, i'm gonna try to sum everything that have happened so far, off-hand... Here goes...

My real holiday probably started with a rollerblading session with eileen, lapyin, sweebin and eric~ My sis and andy was there too! After that, they went for dinner and i went to pick nik up for dinner at botak jones. The coffeeshop that houses botak jones have become a "highclass" kopitiam already~ Other than botak jones, there is a italian pasta and pizza joint, as well as a jap bento set kinda shop... The jap shop can pay by nets lor!! haha!

Next outing would be a makan outing at golden mile food centre... Went there after work and met up with eileen, lapyin and sweebin... jeremy couldn't make it~ The makan session is supposed to be for nidhi (dunno how to spell) but she didn't turn up~ fly aeroplane... After that, nik came to pick me, and we went for movie and supper... watched the first R21 rated movie called "Zack and Miri make a Porn" Its really hilarious and at some point loving... Exclusive at GV only~

Next up, settlers with lapyin and jeremy... eileen suddenly fell sick, so couldn't make it... but it was still super fun! we started out with blokus, the hexagon one... and continued with powergrid, which we played for the rest of the 3 hours... we followed the rulez, but we played too much and too long... so the ending was quite screwed... FUN nonetheless! After that, we continued a little more at lapyin's house where we played this super old, but super fun game called Careers... Lapyin's house is in the middle of chinatown area and has a fantastic view of the city... but the view would soon be blocked by a new, currently under construction, hotel... hiaz...

Not forgetting all the work that i have been doing on and off... freelance style, earn a little for my upcoming holiday and christmas presents... and the dates for these work has been clashing with my frisbee training... this is bad, coz i haven trained with the peeps for very long le... they would definately have developed the "mo qi" already... me joining them for the competition may not be a good thing... but i'm still going ba~ sorry guys!

Malaysia makan and shopping trip with my aunt... Altogether, 6 of us... drove in to city square... The jam to msia started so far away from the checkpoint... and there were so many bikes, that they had to close the car lane to hold all of them!! We spent almost 1.5 to 2 hours in the car... waiting for our passports to get stamped... We finally reached city square at bout 7pm and ate secret recipe... the standard dropped for quite a few dishes... think its becoz its a weekend ba~ anyway, we paid 170 rm for 6 of us... 7 main course, 2 cakes, 6 drinks... u do the math~ :) After that we went shopping a little and bought a new airwalk bag and ipanema slippers... hopefully this pair of slippers will not give me blisters!

Then followed by a cute grocery shopping trip with nik and his mom at Giant, IMM. I dunno how to describe this experience but its quite fun to watch how nik disturbs his mom~ Haha!

Oh, most important! Dearie nik gave me my christmas present already! Its a baby-G watch that is not made up of rubber~ Hahahaa!! metal face, metal strap~ super classy and simple for a baby-G watch~ I love it~! THANK YOU~! Heeee~ Hmmm~ What should i get him?

THAILAND, here i come!! Please be peaceful~

Car, Level up!

Today we just level up our car! Now, we have "newer" tyres and "newer" seats! "newer" becoz its second hand stuffs, but still comparatively newer than the ones we had... Now, it looks cool and feels good... we spent the whole afternoon, evening and night doing all of that man~ So tiring... Now my fingers are all puffed up and reddish from trying to unscrew the bolts and all... But the effort is so worth it man~

After that, we went to golden mile to change money, followed by "dupper" (dinner + supper) at newton circus food centre... had steamed garoupa and fried chicken! Super nice! main purpose was to look up my mom... jus to see how she has been as well as to introduce nik to my mom and vice versa~

Today alone, we spent $650+ on the upgrades and food... This month, we are broke once again... We better start saving money le lah~ been spending and spending, but not saving... Haha!! We also bought an LCD monitor for his PS3 in the room... that cost us $379 and a $80 HDMI cable... So... we easily spent 1k already~ Plus the car installment and insurance... Woah... $1.5k!!!!! OMG... Plus the air ticket and hotel that cost us almost $500 per person! And the holiday spending money... Jialat!!! I wan CNY to come soon!!!

Save money...!
