Bangkok Trip 2007

Currently listening to: Your Guardian Angel by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Time: 2.22 pm

Odd time to go on holiday most would say. But oh well, already went and came back. Spent four days and three nights in Bangkok. First day before leaving for airport, got my period. Sigh. First few days in Bangkok was PMS-ing to so badly. Practically bit everybody’s head off. Got irritated at the slightest mistakes. (>.<) Feeling a little guilty now. Oh well.

We left the country at around 6.45pm.

After takeoff, I was settling myself nicely in when suddenly they announced "Will the passenger Hui Lyn please stand up and talk to one of our cabin crews?". I was like, huh? Was that me? I looked around to see no one else standing so I supposed it really was me. So I got up and made my way to the back where one of the crews was waiting to see me. Everyone had their eyes on me, I was thinking wether maybe my eyeliner or mascara got smudged. It turned out that they only wanted to see my boarding pass…weird, thought they’d already check earlier. Oh well.

So after a while I got bored of looking at the clouds. I asked my mom for a piece of paper and pen. And I wrote this:

What if there was no tomorrow?
But only yesterday
Would that black crow
Or that little man of clay
Be the same way it was?
Would the love you gave
Become something imagined and false
Would you say those exact words
Laced and intertwined with such emotions
Ever to me again?
Would you die for me once more
And not cry out in pain
But whisper words of comfort to me
Oh, my fallen knight
Let me be the one to heal those wounds,
You suffered for me
Let me hear you call my name
In moments of anger, sorrow and pleasure
Let me stay forever the rose in your heart
Today, tomorrow and yesterday.

Also I wrote another on the back of a Sushi King receipt.

Black,
The color of the sleepless nights
The expression of death
The color of me

Black,
The intensity of my emotions
The taste of you
The hate raging inside

Black,
You painted my heart black
And now I dwell in darkness

Alone.

Kinda dark and emo, huh?  Oh well. So by the time we got there it was 8 something, Bangkok time. We were starving, we haven’t had anything since lunch. And my lunch consisted of only meat buns. We came out from the hotel at around 9pm. We intended to eat at one of the shopping complexes. But here’s the thing, it was at night and we had no idea where to go. So since everyone else didn’t know they blindly followed me.

I led them to the opposite direction. Haha. I really didn’t know where I was going and everyone else just followed me. We ended up having dinner at this restaurant by the road. It turned out to be pretty good actually, we went back there during our third day in Bangkok.

We stayed at the restaurant till around 11pm because it was raining. The next day, we got up early around 6.00am (which is 7.00am in KL). We took a train to this market called Chatuchak.

I like their trains. Very much faster and spacious than what we have here. But one disadvantage is that their train routes are pretty short. Only around the heart of the city.

I read on the Internet that it’s possible to get practically anything in this Chatuchak market. And it’s true! They were selling animals there too! Puppies, kittens, sugar gliders, birds and all sorts.

They have about 1000 stalls there. We didn’t wander off far, stuck around the clothes, accessories and handicraft sections only. During my second visit to the market I had something called Phud Thai for lunch and mmm it was so good. Don’t know if they have it here.

One of my main purposes to Bangkok was to shop and shop and shop. But sigh was greatly disappointed. The shopping complexes there…I think KL ones are waaaay much better. Not that they don’t have clothes, but not much choices. But I still did manage to get a few. Got two skirts, one white and one denim from MNG. A couple of T-shirts from Roxy and mmm yeahhh got My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boys T-shirts!

Oooh yeah…I got a bikini too.

There were about three main shopping complexes there, Siam Paragon, Siam Discovery Center and MBK Mall. Siam Paragon is like KLCC (but KLCC better) and MBK Mall is like Sungei Wang (ugh).  Some pics here:

On our last day in Bangkok, we followed a tour to go to the floating market and several other places. I was a little scared of going to the floating market as I don’t really fancy sitting in a narrow boat going across a river. And to make matters worse, it started raining. Not just a drizzle but heavy enough to get soaked. Good thing that they provided each of us an umbrella on the boat but we still got wet.

Haha my mom insisted that I took a picture while on the boat. Couldn’t care less how I looked.

Oh yeah…during one night there we went to the Siam Ocean World. I expected to see more stuff in it…but hmm nothing outstanding. Most have seen before.

Spongebob! I found it him in one of the aquariums 

Fishes in a fridge

Lol. I just remembered something. We were in the airport and at the baggage check counter. For our line we had this kinda cute-looking Thai guy. When our time came, we went up to the counter and my bro said I was staring at him with huge unblinking dreamy eyes. Haha. I didn’t realise it myself. Don’t know wether my bro was just pulling my leg. Oh well.

You believe in fate, do you? Haha. Well…guess what? I saw Ashraf Sinclair again. This time he was on the same plane with me. Can you believe that? Haha. There were several local celebs as well I think though I don’t know their names. Real coincidental don’t you think? He looks skinnier. During collection of luggage back in KL I was standing right beside him. I didn’t dare look at him but I noticed him looking down at my heels. I was screaming in my head saying, "Don’t look at my legs! I might have missed a few spots when I was shaving" Lolz. Silly. But I think he kinda noticed me looking at him earlier. We had to wait quite a while for our luggage to come but after that we went separate ways. Hmm…but I think I’ll be seeing him soon again. =P

(P.S Sorry to those who have been waiting for an update. I’ve been busy lately and even busier now with my exams. But it’ll be over by the end of next week then I’ll be able to find free time to blog again)
