Bangkok - Day 2

I'm so freaking sorry for the delay of the day 2 entry. I said so before, I'm a busy woman. Haha... yeah, life has been hectic since work started last week. Tomorrow alone, I've to travel from Sentul to Kelana Jaya to teach at 10a.m. to 1p.m. and then, from Kelana Jaya to Jalan Ipoh for another class at 2p.m. to 4p.m.

At this rate, I think my life span will become shorter already...

Anyway, I'll complain later because friends have been asking about day 2 already. Here goes nothing...

Day 2 at Bangkok was spent at Platinum Mall. I know from the name, it sounded like a very high class shopping center but no, it isn't a super duper high class shopping haven but you can have it in mind that it looks like Times Square or Sg. Wang too. The only obvious difference is that the things at Platinum Mall are dirt cheaper than those at Times Square or Sg. Wang.

Anyway, while we were on our way to Platinum, we passed by few other shopping centers like Zen, Gaysorn, Central Plaza and Amarin Plaza, we did stop by few places to take pictures...



We had our lunch at Platinum Mall's food court and believe it or not, they have one of the most amazing Somtams I've ever tasted! Gawd, I miss their Somtam already!

Afterwards, we took a Tuk Tuk home for 160 Baht - damn expensive for three persons because after I've talked to Jeremy, he said we shouldn't take Tuk Tuk in fact because it was too expensive in Bangkok!



The Tuk Tuk guy cannot take good picture. Just look at the picture above... He cut off my head and body. Probably because I looked terrible that day and he didn't like me at all!

Since we had our lunch quite late that day, we've decided to go back to our hostel for dinner. Yes, we had something all of you eat everyday at our hostel...



Check out my expression, people! I guess a picture paints a thousand words, right? Haha... It was really funny though why would we end up eating only instant noodles at the hostel instead of going out for dinner.

After dinner, yeaps, like usual, our camwhoring session continues... I wanted to act cute and came up with something like this...



Mission failed... I cannot be cute, darn!

Then, I decided if I cannot be cute, I should camwhore with someone cute to make myself look cute also!



I just adore these 2 pictures, I don't know why. Perhaps Sherene really has her attraction because she really makes the picture so much cuter rather than having me posing alone! Hahaha...

Darn... I need to get my sleep already. Day 3 would be interesting! Update tomorrow!

My Haul

Damn... I said I shall refrain myself from shopping since I over spent this month due to my trip to Bangkok earlier but still... I spent.

There's some sort of sale going on at Guardian, The Weld today and I was tempted to check it out since I saw every make-up products' prices were slashed to not more than RM20. It was tempting, alright? I mean everything from Revlon and stuffs, not more than RM20!



As you can see from the picture above, I've bought 3 lipsticks, 1 lip gloss with 2 eye liners. I know I'm crazy but heck, they are just so filthy rich, alright? So, Bangkok Day 2 has to delay already since I just gotta haul everything I've bought!

First of all, I don't know what brand the lipsticks are from but who give a damn since they're so cheap, right?



I bought 2 for myself and 1 for my sister - Stylin' Strawberry and Citrus City. The names of the shades are just so fruity!



I've even swatched the colours! They're gorgeous, alright? I think I need to head back and buy a few more for myself!



The top one is Stylin' Strawberry while the bottom one is Citrus City. Not so bad, right? They're suitable for nude and girl-next-door looks.

Besides that, I've even gotten a bottle of sunblock as well...



This baby retails at RM29.90 or something like that but I've gotten it for just RM10, can you actually believe it?

Cheap!

Cheap!

Cheap!

Haha... I've got some more, don't go first!

I've even bought 3 sets of acrylic nails for RM5 each! Freaking cheap you can die!



Among the three sets above, two will be given to my sister while I'll be left with one set only because you wouldn't see me wearing them while working at Starbucks... My sister's properties are...



Last but not least... My acrylic nails! Damn... They look so damn pretty that I think tomorrow I'll go back and buy another few sets!



Alright, that spells the end for my haul. Imma going to sleep now since I still need to work tomorrow and I'm dead tired right now - having difficult time breathing properly!

Bangkok - Day 1

Yeaps... for the next few entries, they will all be about Bangkok and maybe a little bit of camwhoring pictures.

Our journey started on the 16th of June 2009 when our flight landed at Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok. Aih... I'm not sure of the spelling because honestly, I've forgotten every single Thai romanized spelling. Whatever it is, to me, it's still known as Bangkok Airport.

The first sight that greeted me was the colour pink!

Yes, Bangkok is very pink. The taxis in Bangkok are pink! The buses in Bangkok are pink also! Darn... why can't we have pink here in Malaysia too?



Bangkok is quite pink, right? Haha... I love pink to bits. By the way, in Bangkok, everything can happen. Take for example, you're stuck in traffic jam, you can't move your car but there's a lane next to you for the cars from opposite direction. Well, you can use that lane! Tuk Tuks in Bangkok do it pretty often!

We got to the hostel, Hi-Sukhumvit, around 3p.m. or so. Ah, I cannot remember but the thing for sure is that it was 3p.m. Malaysian time and 2p.m. Thailand's time.

Lemme show you few pictures of the hostel we stayed at for 9 days and 8 nights...



Not so bad, right? If you're interested, click the link above and check out from there. I'm just too busy and lazy to go through every single detail.

After which we've unpacked our stuffs, our first few destinations were Siam Paragon, Siam Center and the infamous MBK. Don't ask me what MBK stands for, I don't know. All that I know MBK is a shopping center that looks something like Sg. Wang or Times Square .



As for Siam Paragon, it is something like Pavilion or so. Use your thinking hat and imagine but for me Siam Paragon is more luxurious than Pavilion at KL. Yes, a lot nicer and prettier in design and easily accessible using BTS, Bangkok's very own sky train that is freaking expensive can die.



Bought nothing more than few M.A.C. pigments on Day 1 because, I was still trying to get used to their currency, RM10 equals to 100 Baht and so on, so for.


Lastly, about the food in Bangkok before I conclude Day 1's entry...


Three of us got food-culture-shock when we first got there. We couldn't really adapt to their food style and culture. I thought Thai Tom Yam is supposed to taste a lot better than those found in Malaysia but heck no. When I've done researches and asked Jeremy about it, he said, "Tom Yam in Malaysia is fake, that's why you couldn't taste the same thing at Bangkok."

Then only I realized whenever we went to restaurants at Bangkok, there were 4 essential ingredients prepared on the table - fish sauce, sugar, salt and pepper perhaps. We should actually add these ingredients into the Tom Yam to make it tastes better.

I didn't know that!

Again, the Tom Yam in Bangkok isn't exactly cheap too. For a bowl of Tom Yam, it'll cost you around 70 to 80 Baht, something similar to the price in Malaysia.

Anyway, before I end, this is a picture with three of us standing in front of MBK. Don't ever mention I never want to share pictures with us inside...



I dreaded showing the picture to you guys because I looked so damn terrible on the first day. I wasn't all ready for all the picture-taking sessions and I know, I looked damn fat and ugly in the picture, so, please don't remind me...

Day 2 coming up next!

MJ's Legacies

It was indeed shocking when I switched on the radio before heading off to PJ to work this morning that the ever so famous and legendary Michael Jackson passed away at 5.21a.m. Malaysian time due to cardiac arrest. My brain stopped functioning for a while.


It brought me back to the time of Blood on the Dance Floor years ago when I first heard about it at a friend's birthday party. It was one of the songs I grew up with although I was and am not a fan of his.

I think among all his songs, my favourite should be You Are Not Alone. That song really touched my heart the very first time I listened to it. Yeah, it was so damn long ago - probably the first screening of Free Willy or things like that, I'm not sure. Whatever it is, I think that is one of his songs that touches the heart of so many people whether you like MJ or not.


MJ might not be the best person to set as an example but still, his contributions to the world of entertainment were too obvious to be denied. There were just so many things he had done before passing on at the age of 50. In fact, there are still so many things MJ planned to do like the news of his comeback and tour to London. I guess, it is true that human beings can only decide while God plans.


Today is certainly NOT a day for everyone to bitch about the sex issues that he had gotten himself into years ago because today is the day that each and everyone should remember Michael Jackson, The Legend and all his legacies.

Just like Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, The King of Pop had already carved his name in the hearts of the people around the world with his departure.

Rest in peace, MJ.

May the Lord be with you.

P/S - Bangkok pictures and entries up next. Sorry for the delay, I'm a very busy woman -.-''

Sawadeekap...

Whatever the spelling is...

Hello...

Hello...

All the way from Bangkok, people, hello!

Yes, you're right... I'm in Bangkok now and guess what? I'm loving it and you should love me because I spent 50 Baht to get myself online to update my blog.

The best thing about Bangkok for me is the food. No, it isn't the infamous Tom Yam because for the past 2 days, the Tom Yam we had was not so good. It was quite disappointing but never mind, we'll continue our Tom Yam hunt for the next few days!

You know what? For pork lovers, be sure you come to Bangkok because, when you order something with pork, believe it, it will be FULL of pork and it is maddening, alright? Even for seafood, it's maddeningly a lot!

Alice, you should come here if you love prawns so much... Their prawns, I tell you, super big-sized and NOT expensive at all!

Anyway, I'll go on about the food in another entry because I'm running out of time and damn hungry since all of us haven't taken our dinner yet!

Update soon!

High Maintenance Girl

Before you read further, lemme warn you first. This entry is very full of myself. In which, it means this entry will be all about my bimbo-ness and maybe useless ramblings. Well, this is one way to make myself happy, right?

Anyway, let's get down to business, shall we?

I don't know since when did it happen but yeah, it happened and better still, it happened through time. Gosh, I think I'm a changed person now.

Where should I start?

Alright, it all started during CNY this year when all of a sudden, my brother commented on my collection of stuffs. Stuffs basically means everything from gadgets to clothes to food - anything. Then, when Jeremy and I met up during CNY, he said he couldn't agree more than what my brother has commented earlier, "You're a high maintenance girl."

Yes, you didn't read wrongly because for once again, just few days ago, my brother told me the same thing but this time, it went like this, "Diana and you are just so different from each other and the most obvious difference is that you're brand conscious but your sister is not."

When he found the plastic bag of Forever 21 lingering about in the room, he asked me again, "You're really brand conscious, right? Forever 21? How much did you spent on your dresses at Forever 21?"



Now, lemme count...

RM89 + RM89 + RM109 = RM287.

Now, you can open your eyes WIDE and STARE at me like mad!

Up to this point, I've splurged a lot at Forever 21 and believe me, their dresses are amazing if you can find one that fits you nicely and shows your curves.

I'm so going to go back there again some time soon.

Then, when I was talking to a friend the other day when we hung out, I was telling her that I wanna get a DSLR from Sony. Then, she said I should consider maybe Nikon or Olympus. You know what I told her?

"Sony is more branded than Nikon or Olympus."

Lame, right?

I know I own a Sony Cybershot DSC-T2 and yeah, lemme repeat, SONY and not other brands, but still I wanna go for another Sony.



Then, when I've gotten Baby Pink in February, it obviously showed that I'm very brand conscious...



I know, and yes, you didn't see wrongly. My Baby Pink is my Sony Vaio, no mistake! Darn... I spent so much on this baby and I love her so damn much, alright?

Yesterday, when I went laptop-hunting with my siblings, something caught my attention...



In fact, I've been keeping an eye on products from Apple for so long already and it was just that I didn't have the budget to spend RM189 on a small piece of 1GB gadget.

Yes, now, I've the budget already and I'm so damn proud of myself. Aren't you proud of me for splurging like mad these days?

Hahaha...

Anyway, those are just like teeny-weeny part of my collection, I'll update you guys again soon but for now, I'm going to bed since I need to catch a morning flight!

Before I go, nah, I didn't spend RM189 on that MP3 Player. It was only RM39 for 1GB and it isn't Apple. It's just some cetak rompak thingy from China. Hahahaha...

At the end of the day, I am still a high maintenance girl.

Painfully sickening!

Guess what?

I've found the 4th part time job and yeah, the salary is not so bad. The parents are worried I might not be able to cope but still, Imma going to do my best to prove to everyone that I, Angel, can also be an iron lady and I'll survive even without a partner in life!

Guess what again?

In just a month's time, I'm sick again for the third time!

Dammit, I think it must has been the ageing process I'm going through. Yes, I grow older by days! Darn... it seems to me that my immune system is deteriorating these days and this is really bad!

Yesterday morning, I woke up feeling a sharp pain in my stomach. No, it wasn't gastric but it was just stomach pain. As early as 6a.m. I was already in the washroom for 15 minutes. After which I've gone back to sleep, around 7a.m. or so, the pain struck again and darn... I went to the washroom again!

I thought I'm going to be okay by night time. Yes, I was okay for few hours until 12a.m. this morning but when I came home from a meet up with my student's mum, the pain struck again. It was really so goddamn painful that I needed to bring a big pillow into the washroom with me. I was biting my pillow out of pain while sitting on the toilet seat!

Dammit... I think the fluid level in my body is seriously decreasing like mad already! I was galloping down tons and tons of water and still, I'm feeling so dead... Yes, I said galloping because drinking is not sufficient!

Gawd... this is so painfully sickening... I can't even get to rest tomorrow - lecture at 10a.m. to 1p.m. and after that, working at Hap Seng from 4p.m. to 10p.m.

I wonder if I will still be alive by the end of this week.

The superstar in me...

A lot of friends expressed their concerns towards my sudden change of mood and stuffs lately and my facebook's status has been receiving comments after comments. Believe me, I really appreciate it a lot as your concerns mean a lot to me.

Yes, I'm still going through the downfall of my mood and it affects my feeling deeply and badly. As much as I dislike it, what can I do except just to hold on to my dear life and be strong so that things wont fall back on me?

It really hurts to see him having his mood swing at work these 2 days and it is all because of something indirectly related to me. Yes, you're not wrong - indirectly and I don't think it's ethical for me make it public since it involves another person.

Well, it does hurt especially when we were kind of avoiding glimpses from each other.

Sometimes, I do wonder, why do things have to end up this way for both of us. Things can be better if we never started out. Perhaps we are still good friends now. Seriously, I really miss the times spent together - every moment of it.

I miss the time when he held me... I seriously do...

Anyway, lemme talk about something different today, something fresher, something happier and something that is totally me...


I was having sore-throat the other day, so, you can guess why there is a yellowish thing at the side of my mouth - strepsils, alright?

Yes, don't I just look like superstar? Look at the glasses - it isn't mine but still, how I love camwhoring with it. Haha...

Don't you think I look like Michael Jackson's sister? Muahaha... No, the name's NOT Janet Jackson but the name's Angelina Jolin and NOT Angelina Jolie.

Why?

Because you see...


I think I look like Jolin Tsai... Hahaha... Not the boobs, alright? She's a cup G and I'm nowhere near G. I know, Jolin's fan would probably shoot me with my words but before you start shooting or throwing bombs at me, lemme finish my words first.

I was going to say, my glasses is alike to Jolin's in one of her MVs.

Dammit, I can't get connected to Yahoo! or Google to find pictures. Darn... whatever it is, go surf for the pictures yourself because Imma going to bed after all these lameness.

Destiny

As much as I wish all these never take place, still, I know I can't go against our destinies. Perhaps, destiny is the only reason why he chose to let go.

I never wanted to let go in the very beginning and honestly, even up to now, I'm really having tough times trying to get over it. Partly because we're working together and sometimes, I find it hard not to let the memories of everything lingering about. Those memories will just bounce back at the moment I see him from time to time.

What does our destinies hold actually?

The other day, when all of us were at Relay for Life 2009, I was hiding away at the back of the tent, weeping. It was really hard because we were all sitting down next to each other. He was sitting right in front of me but both of us were pretending nothing ever happened and we weren't even talking to each other.

It hurts a lot when that somebody is ignoring you.

Yes, we are no longer related and I'm the one who finds it so hard to put the memories behind because between him and I, there are just so many memories.

I was talking to Dee and Awis about it and both of them were more than worried that I could not pull through.

Honestly, I'm doing fine. It's just that sometimes, I feel terrible when it comes to facing him at work. Yes, it is hard as I've said but like what I've told both Dee and Awis, "Things will be fine. I will be fine because I have to be fine."

Sigh... Maybe things will be a lot easier if I don't get to see him.

As the matter of fact, I'll be transferred to Menara Hap Seng from The Weld starting 13th to 22nd of June. Although it's only for a short period of 9 to 10 days, at least it'll make me feel better not having to face him for that period of time.

As promised to fellow friends, I'll be good, yes, things will be fine. I'm stronger than what I seem to be, alright?

Anyway, update again tonight - need to go and send my car into car-hospital. Tayar pancit. Suey betul!
