I’m back from a shopping frenzy in Bangkok. The extent of our shopping can be measured by the amount of dislocation of my feet from my ankles.
The last day was exceptionally difficult for me because I have to come back to a jobless Singaporean life. Of course I still look forward to seeing weiwei and meeting my new FREE phone. Haha!
It was a really enjoyable trip. I guess anywhere will be the right place as long as the company is right. Fortunately, we didn’t have any major disputes although my fondness for private transport aka CABS was a little too much for him to take. Well, I just love spending my Thai baht. Can’t use them in Singapore anyway and it’s a bother to convert them back to Sing dollars.
We were also rather fortunate that we didn’t run into anyone who tried to hack our heads off with crazy pricing (I better not mention that pair of jeans and those 2 soccer jerseys). I’m partly to blame too for these purchases because I didn’t stop him from buying. But one thing for sure is, they will certainly be more expensive in Singapore. I hope this statement makes him feel better. Haha.
I simply LURRRVE the Zen Japanese Restaurant! So glad to make it back there after a good dining experience during my previous trip in Dec 06. Seafood don seafood don seafood don seafood don seafood don seafood don seafood don seafood don seafood don. SEAFOOD DON. Prawns prawns prawns prawns prawns prawns prawns prawns prawns. PRAWNS. Alright. Too bad we missed the street market that night due to the rain. But it’s okay cuz I was looking forward to a good rest from all that walking and shopping.
We also satisfied his craving for A&W. I can’t remember the last time I ate it in Singapore. Not surprising, I know. I also made this amazing discovery that they serve twister fries and not onion rings. We had an intelligent conversation regarding our (mainly his) bo-seh behaviour e.g. taking off slippers in public, sitting with legs cropped up high etc. It was rather funny. And I still find it amazing that we could go on a trip together when a few years ago I would twitch at the mention of his name.
We are really in love with daidee. I dunno what we are thinking but somehow we derive joy from pissing each other off after winning a game. I’m not really affected cuz I’m good at being oblivious to my surroundings. This is a good way to pass time while on the plane. Better than games like parrot-talking, see-who-has-the-longest-breath etc.
The Pets Section at Chatuchak market is a must visit for pet lovers. But I don’t feel good about the way they are put up for sale. Humans really love to complicate things. We bring global warming upon ourselves. We deserve it!
