Tadaima and happy mid autumn!
I'm baaaaaack!
=D
I missed our fresh air so much! As being warned earlier, the air in hottomyumtuktuk-land is not that good. My nose was stuck almost the whole week we were there! Except when we went out of Bangkok, I could breathe properly. HAHA
Anyway, it was fun going to Thailand! I would love to go back there again cos shopping is awesome! Food wise is so so for me but DESSERTS or ochipala food, they are SIBEH HO JIAK! ahhhh my coconut milk pudding with coconut jelly, my coconut ice cream with peanuts, my fresh sea coconut drink, my kane mochi, my mango with sticky rice, my beloved PAPAYA SALAD with lots of peanuts!!
T_______________T
I want them now!
I'm not really digging the real food if you notice. They are either too salty or too sweet. Mehhh... not really my taste but it was a good experience eating lots of new food!
I came back a few shades darker and also fatter last week cos we went to Pattaya(not for sun tanning but to visit Ripley's Believe it of not museum and wax museum) and Ayutthaya!! Went to the later place to visit the Summer Palace, ancient ruins(a better word is old temples). Click here for detailed info. It was a cool experience but it was SOOOO HOOOOOT! We also went to Ancient Siam! That place is really cool! They rebuilt a lot of historical buildings but smaller! Click here for info. I'm not really sure with the names of places cos I left all the decisions and navigating to my travelling partner and her Thai friend. =P I just followed and had fun!
PS: To my travelling partner's Thai friend, Mr. J, THANK YOU for your super hospitality!
We went to so many markets! I totally love their markets to bits! Popular tourists' favourites and also locals' favourites too! The later ones are better cos the things are wayyy cheaper! Bought so many funky wacky t-shirts, cute ribbon hair bands and super cute ear rings! Oh not forgettng my slippers and sandals too! No item cost more than 400 bahts! That's less than B$ 20!!
If I minus my hotel fares(that also less than 200 for 1 week!), air tickets(300+), tour packages(donch remember) and my Adidas and Converse sneakers, I spent only around B$ 700 only on shopping, travelling and food with lots of omiyage too! And that's one week ok!
Aiyaahh words don't look nice when describing one's travelling journey. I'll let the pictures do the talking! BUT not now cos I haven't move my lazy arse to my travelling partner's house to get the photos from her. BUT if you are my friend on my FB, I'm sure you've seen them! =D
Ahhh I kinda miss travelling in tuk tuk. So cool! I am also missing Thai pop songs! LOL they are quite addictive when you see their videos being played over and over and over and over again on their TV. Here are two that I personally love!

Not bad right? Too bad I still can't speak Thai and I still donch understand =S
But there're a few encounters that I'm not happy about. One happened just right after we touched down on the airport, queueing up to get our passport stamped. This lady asked my travelling partner to go to the Thai passport booth so I followed but she stopped me!! =.='' so I pointed to my parter and said, "she is my friend" and the lady showed me a blur look and I had to use keep on saying that the girl is my friend and we came together and she ahhh.. OMG she went to ask this ang moh if I am his partner!!! *faints* both of us shook our heads in horror!! OMG just a gentle reminder, please please please, if you are a staff working at an international airport, pleaseeee at least know some basic English like the words "she" and "my friend". But all ends well cos she let me joined my travelling partner! woohoo~
Anyhow, that's all for today.. gonna start my working engine!
Tomorrow is the 15th of the 8th month of the Chinese Lunar Calendar soooo... Happy Mid-Autumn to everyone!! Eat lots of mooncakes and bring out your long forgotten lanterns to play! Ok, I take back... don't eat too much mooncake! hahaa sugar ah!
