greetings from bangkok!

I am loving my trip so far!!!

The hotel is fantastic … free broadband with speed so fast, it is so cool! This is the most luxurious hotel I ever stayed in Bangkok! And maybe other hotels around the globe too! Damn shiok! Service thumbs up too!

It rained a lil just now but still, it didn’t dampen my mood! Poor angel boy didn’t get anything at all! All he did was pay and pay and pay … so ke lian lor!

And I shamefully spent so much in just 3 hrs, I am feeling extremely guilty about it. Can’t blame me… is like I am let loose from prison haha! Everything here is so cheap!

Back to Star world for now … FRIENDS! See ya!

a new lease of life.

我回来了啊！

Heaved a sigh of relief.

Somehow I feel so rejuvenated and recharged, all thanks to no work and purely fun life for the last 10 days or so.

I took a whole week of leave, away from work which included rejecting all calls and sms-es related to work. I have that sudden adrenaline rush in me whenever I reject the call which states boss. Hahaha! The feeling is so damn high can!

That’s what leave is supposed to be which sadly I only figured out after relegating myself to a state of mild depression cos of work. I guess I learnt it the hard way but it was better than never. Sometimes it is only when we are enveloped in a obscure room filled with darkness then we realise we need to start rescuing ourselves and head for the room filled with a positive aura of light.

Which is why I mentioned a new lease of life. The last 10 days had been nothing but a marvellous ride of fun, joy and laughter with the people I loved around me.

Hua Hin Trip

Put aside the sorrows of the sickness I am suffering from now, August had been a month I had been anticipating for. It is my holiday month!

As usual, the planning on where to go is fully on my hands, angel boy doesnt meddle with it. His only concern is I will be happy and that the accomodation lives up to his expectations. He flies around frequently and had been staying at nice hotels, so anything rundown is a big no-no. Talk about luxury and being fortunate??!!!???

I had been wanting to visit beach islands again for the longest time with angel boy. After researching for quite sometime, I decided on Hua Hin, especially when the resort drew much attention. Hua Hin is an island, 3hrs away from Bangkok. Not that commercialised and you dont exactly get clear blue sea. In fact the island is not as popular cos to travel there itself is quite a hindrance. Since we’d been to most of the islands in Thailand already, I figured out Hua Hin would be something different. Plus I would really love to be snuggling somewhere not as crowded lol.

to paradise, we go.

Lovely sunset in the land of tom yum & damn cheap clothes.

Did I add damn yumylicious bird’s nest & shark’s fin too?

What about shoes & massage?

Did I not mention?

Wonderful trip yet again & again.

Never will I get sick of Bangkok.

Such a beautiful & fabulous country.

W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L

I will be back.

Yes, AGAIN.

To the one I truly cherished …

My holiday had came to a halt. Is back to reality tomorrow and time to work hard again. Earn back the money and hopefully able to go for more trips in future.

While unpacking my stuff and compiling the pictures, it felt really nostalgic. Seeing the pictures is like a playback to the wonderful memories spent there with my beloved boy, every single drop of it is being relished. I miss the times already. I know this isnt the first trip afterall but somehow it felt really fulfilling, really great and remarkable. The feeling just lingers in me till now. I am proud of him, of myself for being able to embark on this dream journey we had wanted to go.

Is like you go shopping and fall in love with this expensive bag and you tell yourself you gonna work hard for it and finally you lay your hands on it. Is sensational I tell you, the feeling of achieving a goal you and your other half had set on. Is nowhere far and whatsover but at least our goal is not to travel to Jaybee rite? We spent like $7k for this whole trip ok! Dont pray pray! Now you understand huh? I know it cant be compared to those who had their vows exchanged but at least in my heart, this is truly satisfaction and is something I will never ever forget down the memory lane.

The fact is I really enjoyed myself a lot, having him my by side and all. I never had the chance to really thank him for being there for me. So here goes ….

Dearest,
Thanks for being there, looking after me.

Thanks for being there,
holding onto the umbrella but still getting yourself wet and me totally dry.

Thanks for being there,
ordering my favourite food even though you dont have a liking for fish & chips.

Thanks for being there, holding onto me and making sure I dont fall.

Thanks for being there, covering my blanket and patting me to bed.

Thanks for being there,
watching the tv alone while your lazy pig sleeps ALL the time.

Thanks for being there,
allowing me to sleep on you on the plane and causing you bodyache.

Thanks for being there,
having me as your first priority regardless on food or anything.

There is so much I can say, there will be no end to this entry on your endless love & protection towards me. I just wanna let you know,I truly appreciate it & it warmly touches my heart.

I realised I am so madly and deeply in love with you.
I do, I seriously do.

I hope our fantasy doesnt end here, I know there is more to come.
There will be.

Helicopter pilots in the making hee hee …

having fun in bangkok, missing him in bangkok

I finally realised how easy it was a task to tell someone how you understand his/his plight through our mouths.Words tend to be easier than action by a million tons! Is an ABC task when you go on and on with just your mouth. But after going through a good 8 days of experience myself, I realised the pain in him. Is never easy, in fact it was harder than climbing Mount Everest. I finally had the chance to land myself in his shoes.I blame myself for being foolish. I was so ignorant! I went though the pain in myself and the light shone on me! The light of understanding and overcoming!

Life was damn bloody tough and seem to tick by aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiioooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnn seconds instead of the usual 60s in a min.

For those who know, I was away to the Land of Smiles for a short holiday, 4 days to be precise. My boy left for a flight on last, last Sunday and I left for mine on last Friday. I only gotten to see him yesterday! I have nothing to complain about my wonderful trip but no amount of shopping could remove him from my thoughts even for just that second. I aint trying to be mushy, neither am I promoting stickiness nor am I asking you to rely too much on your other half. I just wanna convey to my readers that sometimes in life, we do take our partners for granted. I miss him a lot during those days in bkk.

I felt like a fish who couldnt be left out of water for even that flash of few seconds. I finally understood the loneliness in him when he is stationed abroad for so many days. Not that I dont miss him on the last few occasions but the feeling never get so intense. Probably those last few holiays with my gals were never too long and that I still get to see him prior the day before I left.

It was great to have him by my side once I returned from my trip! Bravo! Everyone should really learn to cherish every single moment with your loved ones, be it partners or family members. No point hanging in your mouth but you never feel it deep from your heart. It is a total feeling when you are experiencing it!

Back to my trip! It was fabulous! I had fun with my lovely companion! My beloved best bud Cai tou aka Jil. The whole planning part was a headache to begin with as we were down with budget constraints. No Novotel no Hyatt! We aint princesses or rich brats to start with! A simple hotel is fine with us as long as the location is strategic enough. What could be worse when our first choice of hotel was fully booked. Nevertheless, good luck tend to shine on good people haha! The hotel we wanted initially got back to us stating they have one last room for us and the number was Room 1111! Super in good luck! Talking about luck, it was just a big coincidence when I met Roy at the boarding room. We were taking the same flight to the same place and arriving back to Spore on the same day and flight too! I havent been seeing him for like close to a year and all places I gotta bump onto him is in the airport haha! And if the first hotel didnt come back with a room to spare, the hotel Roy was staying was actually our second choice lol!

Oh I wanna add on how GROSS and BAD can Garuda be! No choice! No SQ! Like I mentioned, we had budget contraints! And the budget airlines were fully booked plus the rest of the flights were either too expensive else the timing sucks! I can endure a bad flight but I can never endure bad service. Their service is rotten to the core! I do not expect first class service, in fact I was kinda expecting their so-so service. I just did not expect it to be so damn BAD. The crew were rude and simply bo chup. I do not expect to be treated like a princess or be showered with good food but the basic thing I expect is, HELP ME OUT WITH THE BLOODY LAGGUAGE!

It was heavy and to add to my woes, I aint TALL! It was killing me! The flight attendant could have just push the lagguage for me else at least TRY and ask if I needed help. I din realise their jobscope was to stand there and be pretty and keep pointing her fingers at me to hurry me so that the rest of the passengers can move in. If she had chip in some help, there wouldnt be a massive jam to start with. Thanks to the kind soul, an auntie, who had to stand up and helped me while the attendant stared blankly at us leaving an impatient face. Farking bitch!

I had never taken the so-called service flights before, like SQ and Emirates hence I am in no position to comment nor I wish to support my own local flight so as to avoid being biased. All I know is, I had never encounter such rude crew before from Cathay, Thai or even Silkair which is cheaper than Garuda. Oh well, yi fen qian yi fen huo!!! No grumbles!! (I try!)

It was shopping to the max and the loot I came back with was amazing! I lurve all my purchases and regretted on some stuff I did not lug back with. The weather was sorta humid but still it didnt dampen our spirits. We had absolute fun and Jil had no qualms about me visiting the animal mart in Chatuchak! It was smelly but I lurve animals! It was quite sad though to see those adorable puppies being mistreated. But we are talking about the livelihood of these poor old people and obviously if they can afford a big house, they wouldnt be in the market peddling animals in such an extreme weather. Sigh! In a way, my heart goes out to both the animals and sellers!

We had glorious food and yes I didnt care about the fats for once! We had buffet in Shangri La and it was yummylicious! Prawns prawns prawns and big and juicy ones! The dessert was even more sinful! Everyone was staring at us not cos we took lotsa food but cos we were the youngest and out of the few asians there, and we were in flip flops haha! I guess they were worried we wouldnt be able to pay up haha. The diners were well-dressed and almost 90% were rich ang mo else rich japanese. The hotel was so damn classy! How we wish we had a room there!

I had been to bkk several times but the different travel companions bring different joy. Jil was pretty much an easy person to get along with plus we shared similar traits! No restrictions at all! We were accomodating to each other and I swear there wasnt a time I felt any arrangements were unfair or unhappy. My best travel companion so far would be my boy haha followed by Jil. Oh, I cant forget Ann too! As for the rest, I aint complaining they are bad just that these 3 happened to have private moments with me haha. The rest of my holidays were in groups of 3 and more people hence is a lil unfair to comment. I am sure May and Licia would fit in as best kakis too if given a chance! But I wanna 3 of us to be together, my ultimate dream! The trio would have so much fun! And I am 100% sure we gonna blend in so well together! They aint my princesses for nothing!

Did I add in that I finally gotta take the cruise to Chao Prya river for sightseeing??? Hee hee, it was always shopping and more shopping. The only time I went for sightseeing was when I was just a li kid with my family COS I know nuts about shopping. I had yearn to visit some temples and do some praying. Jil fulfilled my wish! We went to the temple even she wasnt a buddhist. We went to the Grand Palace and I snapped lotsa architectural pictures. I lurve it! It wasnt a waste of time at all even if it meant sacrificing some time for shopping. It was all worthwhile! And this trip even stole my virginity! The virginity of allowing a male stranger to toy with my legs for an entire hour! I am refering to legs massaging lah! Normally is female mah!

I truly enjoyed myself and I am looking forward to our unofficial trip to Finland next Dec! Doesnt mean it will happen cos it is damn expensive but still it is good to have a short term goal aint it???

For now, it is back to my broke self. The travelling freak living withtin me had burnt a BIG BIG BIG hole in my pockets. I had refused to start calculating the amount of moolah spent on travelling this year. I might have been able to get a big plasma TV! BUT still I so wanna travel again!!!! Aarrgghh I hate going back to the office!!!!

(( Just a lil sneak into the photos taken for the trip, not much to be exact unless you folks wanna see architectures. Besides, it was just the two of us only and in bkk, you automatically switch to shopping mode more than anything else hee hee. I will upload to multiply as usual, so feel free to teleport yourself there. Cheers! ))

Bintan Bliss

I know I had keep you folks waiting and I am truly apologetic about it. My lazybones had finally declared an off day on its own and hence here are the much over due pics. Is not that late actually, aint it? Afterall I was back only last Tuesday…Looking at the pics now brought back really sweet memories and my boy had since gotten his ass back to work too. He left for London on Mon and wont be back till Friday. How I miss him dearly, I guess I have to slowly accomodate to the days whereby we have to slog our asses off again. I miss my holidays and my slacking moments!!!!!!

Day 1 : Feeling very excited plus I did not sleep the previous day, I was a lil tired as well. Reached Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, my very first time as well. I didnt quite like the place, it seems a bit messed up and it was quite dirty too. Reminded me of those coffee shops you get to alight to brush your teeth or use the toilet or even get some groceries when you take long rides in coaches to Malaysia. I think the terminals offer ferries to elsewhere too, places like Batam which I seriously do not wish to emphasis why I see so many old uncles travelling on their own.

Waited for quite sometime before we get to board the ferry. The ferry was pretty spacious and I am quite impressed with the cleanliness and cosiness. This wasnt the first time D and I travelled by ferry, the first time happened to be our first trip and it was to Pulau Sibu. The best thing was, the ferry was completely empty and it feels as though my boy had booked the whole ferry specially for me. Simply romantic but to compare, I think the Spore ferry was much cleaner.

It only took us 45mins to reach Bintan and we both dozed off in the ferry. Reached the place and took a transfer of less than 10mins to reach Angsana Spa and Resort. I truly understood why the later timings of the ferry were booked leaving the earlier slots, cos all the resorts in Bintan only accept check in at 3pm! And their time was actually an hr earlier than us meaning we have to wait for at least 2hrs! Just slacked around the cafe area while waiting.

Once we gotten a room, I was glad cos it was nice and cosy. Did I mention the resort had a green theme which fits a greenie freak like me perfectly haha! Bravo! Didnt do anything much, just slack and sleep till dinner time. We had the BBQ seafood buffet and it was fantabulously delicious! I miss the lobsters already!

Day 2 : Woke up for breakfast and I adore breakfast! Cos it meant freeflow of eggs in any form I like haha! The porridge was surprisingly nice too. Went sun-basking in order to capture the morning sun. It was a good idea as it rained continously in the noon for the next few days. Explored the beach and it was pretty clean. I tried walking very far towards the sea and the water level only reached my knee even after like 500 steps!! Very shallow and full of rocks but considered quite clear as I could see tiny fishes swimming around. Went to the pool and retreated to the room for some rest again. Caught several documentaries and I was able to watch local shows there too!

Dinner was in one of the beautiful restaurants overlooking south china sea in Banyan Tree!! We had to make reservations in order to step into Banyan Tree. There was a car to bring us there and upon arrival, a buggy will send us to the restaurant as well. VERY EXCLUSIVE! Saw the villas and it was huge and luxurious. If Angsana being just a sista to Banyan Tree is considered VERY EX, I cant imagine Banyan Tree. The villas were too separated and I think it was really dark and lonely. Very scary! No point pay so much to get yourself freaked up! The interior should be damn good anyway! But throw me the money and I will use it for bangkok anytime instead of Banyan haha.

Day 3 : My breakfast hunt begins all over again and we kinda fixed our routine as well. Went to the pool for more roasting sessions in the sun and proceed for lunch and dinner. Nothing spectacular, just quality time spent together.

Day 4 : Heading back to Spore soon, was supposed to check out at 12 noon. D insisted I should try the spa cos it was done in outdoor pavillions and it would be something special. Not those in Mariott hotel whereby you will still hear boinks and beeps from moving vehicles. It was pretty serene and he convinced me to make a reservation on night 3. It was really ex but the experience was all worthwhile! The spa treatment was heavenly! I tried the Aloha massage and the masseuse was very delicate and friendly!

We headed to this local bazaar call Pasar Oleh Oleh after our check out. The place was boring! There was nothing much, fortunately the authentic indo food was good though still considered ex, it costs a freaking S$9 for a bowl of Tom Yum soup. Supposedly to spend like 3hrs there thinking it will be full of shops but it was such a letdown. We decided to get back to the resort and making full use of the remaining 2hrs, we changed and dip ourselves into the pool again. Took the ferry back to Spore and this time round, we took the upper deck and it was a totally different feel. It was first class! Very very spacious but was joined by a group of noisy koreans creating a din. I hereby declare I really have no affinity with the Bae Yong Juns and the Won Bins. But I do enjoy the kimichi hahaha.

Put the US pricing and ex stuff away, put the disappoinment of the bazaar away, put the rainy days away, apart from all these, I had yet another wonderful trip together with my beloved boy. This is our no 7th trip together, though not a lot but I definitely forsee more trips to happen! On a sidenote, is our 5.5 years together 2 days ago! Viola and so looking to spending more years with him!!! (More pics here)

P/S : I know is a long entry again and I have been contemplating to post up the pics only and cut down on the text but I decided to pen every single words down as I know my blog will serve as a memory lane for me in future. Everything will be stored here and I know one day down the road, I will be smiling while reading the entries. So please pardon me and kindly scram if you dont like it. Thks!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I have been gaining lots and lots of LARD! Had been feasting on mooncakes! I am never a lover and a huge avid fan of mooncakes, in fact I only have eyes for snowskin black tau sar ones haha. Is the cheapest kind and the toughest to find too! Was told by lotsa people, liang rong is the more preferred choice and I seem to be the only one with weird preference.

But my boy came back with Raffles Hotel, Baker Inn and Haagen Daz mooncakes which was simply irresistible! Ice cream mooncakes??!!!?? Tell me which moron will say no to it??!!! Yummy! And it is one lucky year for me! My boy found the mooncakes I adored! Black tau sar!! Yummy! Plus his granny found some too! I was pampered to death! Or rather gorged to death!

I NEED A DIET!!!

Lastly, signing off with pics of Jonas!! He grown a lot especially on height. Still that adorable! Alritey, shall leave from here! Till then!

Langkawi Bliss

Back with my LONG LONG trip entry. Naturally is longer than the last trip to bkk and this time round more pics too. Dont ask why mostly me and none on my boy, he doesnt like taking pics at all but he enjoys taking pics for me and the scenery. Dont say I never warn you, is reallylong! And also cos I had made the pics bigger! Cos someone apparently complained too small but you can click onto it and make it bigger …First day of trip (18 Mar 04)I aint going to start with I am back this time round! BECAUSE what you see now is what you get, literally translated as what you folks see now are typed out “live” everyday by yours truly hee hee.

I feel like Carrie Bradshaw now haha of course the imitation version, bringing labtop everywhere and still blogging away as if I got a deadline to meet. But like D says, since I aint sleepy yet why not? Rather than me racking my brains out and trying to refresh my memory like the last time I did for bkk.

So here I am right in front of the dressing table mirror, typing away while taking few secs every now and then to check myself out in the mirror, I know I am vain but this room is fanstatic! It has got mirrors everywhere haha. FYI, D is watching American Chopper and lying cosily on the sofa couch.

Time reads 231am, I dunno if I am still feeling too excited or that I had been really enjoying to my fullest which is why I cant sleep. Though it is just the first day of my trip, it had been a wonderful day! I reached Langkawi around 815pm, my flight was at 635pm and it was a lil delayed due to 2 kns sporean gals who I guessed got too engrossed shopping in DFS.

When we touched down, I was quite surprised how clean and modern Langkawi airport was. Not that I think Malaysia is dirty but the airports I kinda visited were all quite old. I mean is just a small airport for islands so it was really shocking in a way. We were greeted with a man welcoming us with our names on it. We were later drove to our resort, Sheraton Langkawi. The van seemed to be booked for us ONLY. Haha I thank my boy for it again, coincidence or what, I dunno but everytime D and I go for holiday, the ferry, the van, the mini-bus seemed to be ONLY us in it. Shiok haha. Maybe cos we aint staying in the normal resorts and hotels most peeps booked in.

The ride din take long. We soon reached the lobby and boy it was beautiful! I am so in love with chalet type of resorts instead of hotels. Hotels kinda suck. We checked in and was treated to a welcome drink. The place is huge! We got onto a buggy ride and was directed to our room. WAH WAH WAH. The room is just as huge! Lovely! Is so made like a lovers’ suite. We had a bathtub room and like Licia mentioned(she was here before too), is damn romantic cos you have this blind you can roll up and while soaking yourself in the tub, you can see the area whereby the bed is. So if you are into kinky dances, have your partner lie in the bed while you slowly strip lol. The bathroom is another individual room. Very thoughtful. It just feels like a studio in a condo.

Langkawi wasnt like Phuket, Bali or Krabi whereby you have plentiful of nite life events. Muslims are religious hence no pubs around. It is really quiet so both of us decided not to venture but just laze around in our room.

The clock finally strike 12am! Happy 5 years anniversary sweetheart!!!! You know I am so feeling like a princess loh. My sweet boy got me to take a shower while he placed lotsa candles around the side of the bath tub. When I opened the door and see the ambience haha I melted. Bubble bath made specially for me! And he played really slow, soothing luv ballads on his labtop!So romantic and then we opened the champagne he bought and toasted to it. Expensive champagne but we din even touch much. Too strong for me but D says is worth a significance of our half a decade celebration. Whatever you say my dear, cos I know you only give the best to me. Well, at this time, I supposed most of ya imgination is running damn wild haha. I aint going to say more .. lol ….After the soak, we ordered room service, and the portion of my Nasi Goreng shocked me! It wasnt stated as having SO MUCH in the menu. And I thank HBO too cos HBO was really nice lol cos they actually telecast How to lose a guy in 10 days. I simply luv the show. Damn romantic. Though both of us watched it many times, but it was always us watching without each other, in the plane or him being in overseas. But this time, we caught it together on our 5 yrs anniversary. Cheers to HBO!Just a few hours of our first day of trip, I felt so on the top of the world and so being the most fortunate and happiest gal! I cant wait to hit the beach and having delicious seafood!

My photography skills being put to test hee hee but D still says I suck which is true lah haha. A rare pic of a beautiful shot I captured while on the plane. Very lovely!


He refused to take any pic again so I took a secret snap and somehow quite cool wor!

Arrived at the lobby of Sheraton Langkawi and sitting cosily on my throne. Now wheres my tiara!!!!???!!!

In the buggy ride! I like it … I always fancy tuk tuks in thailand too! So much like a big kiddo huh?

Thats how my room look like, I was standing on the a short fleet of stairs to take it! It is actually much bigger in real life!


My yummy Nasi Goreng! Makes me drooling again … oh I so wanna eat it again! And lastly, my romantic bath soak. See the blind? Thats the one you can see thru the area where the bed is! The tub is in a walk in room by itself so no worries of hindrances where the toilet is! It sure looks better if you are there than in the pic hee hee!

Second day of trip (19 Mar 04)

Our anniversary day! As stated, we slept really late and despite setting the alarm, we kinda overslept and only woke up close to 9am. Washed up and rushed for breakfast which will ends at 1030am. Finally a chance to walk and explore around the resort. I remembered before we checked in, I asked the reception if our room was a sea view room and she stated no. I was kinda disappointed cos the balcony was really big and cosy! I thought we could have a meal there with all the nature surrounding us.

I decided to open the curtains while D was washing up and to my surprise, the view was breathtaking! Who says I dont have a sea view room? Gosh! So so so beautiful!

Like a view from a postcard and yes I stay in one of those chalet rooms just opp the sea!

Laughing over it, we headed to the cafe for breakfast. You know the resort really pampered us badly, is like we have legs that need not have to walk. We stepped out of the room and right there, we hopped into the buggy again which drove us to the cafe. It wasnt much of a distance to the main lobby from our room but the whole resort was big and with slopes here and there so having the buggy was really good for lazy peeps like us.

The cafe was on the top and we are ambushed with greenery and of course the sea. Breakfast was really good too! We went touring around the place looking for the beach and pool. Thereafter we found it, we took the buggy yet again back to our room. Switched on the tv and dozed off again haha. So tired lah! And the ambience of the room really makes you sleepy.

We woke up at 2pm, changed into our swim gear and headed to the beach. Bright sun! Love it! Laze around the blazing heat and my skin gradually changed colour hahaha. Great sense of satisfaction! D suggested we go kayaking but I din want to. Just wanna laze around. I even suffered a few scratches on my both knees, soles and palms after hitting the sea excitedly not knowing there was rocks beneath haha. Switched to the pool later. Swam a few laps and D was proud I can swim so well FINALLY hahaha. This I have to thank May for. Had lunch over the pool bar and drank lotsa cocktails too. Damn shiok to sit around the pool bar and let the sun do the rest of the job on my skin. After that we headed to play table tennis! Good workout! We spent close to 4hrs easily and it was time for dinner.


The pool and just down below it, thats the beach front! And the little hut? Bingo! the poolside bar!

D made a reservation at Captain Grill where the restuarant was by the sea and extremely romantic! And the food and service, 10 stars!!!! Is so funny everytime I left my seat to take a pic or walk around, the staff will be arranging my napkin and chair back to order and while I was nearing my seat, they will guide me to my seat and pull the napkin out all over again. Like royalty leh! The meal din come by cheap of cos but it was REALLY fanstatic! We had salad, an appeitizer, my pecan chicken breast with gooseliver and abalone mushrooms, D had beef tenderloin with lobster and we ordered huge grilled tiger prawns, last but not least, apple strudel with ice cream. Both of us were so satiated, we decided not to head out of the resort for the night market anymore. Couldnt move at all but we did roam around the resort, to the pub and we played pool.

Again, we din sleep early. We had this routine confessions and Q and A session while lying on the bed. We could ask each other any ques or confessed anything. Very infomative session indeed. Discovered some dark secrets haha. Biatches are everywhere I must say but as usual D got sick of asking me ques cos he knew nothing too shocking will come out haha. I am a boring person! And worst I have no dates at all, neither I have his kind of appealing power haha. Slowly we were drifted back to our dreamland.

Each of the room comes with a personal club car … NOT!!! Haha I am just a poser can?

Where the perfect romantic dinner was – Captain Grill. See my tan??? Hooray!!!

Some poser shots again but nice isnt it? Else why D say I suck since he got a flair in photography haha.

My grilled prawnies !!!!! I wanna eat them again !!!

My wonderful sweetheart and a weird round pool table! We played on both the normal ones and the round one and the round table was so damn hard! The ball flies around everywhere in circles!

Third day of trip (20 Mar 04)

Woke up even later today. Rushed to the cafe for breakfast again haha. Despite being sleepy heads, we still couldnt scarifice breakfast. We are piggies too I guess haha. Today everything was quite routine, but that doesnt mean I dont luv it. We went to the beach and pool as usual but the sun wasnt that bright! How sad! We had wanted to go snokerlling and island hopping but I just got a feeling the sea isnt as clear as those in thailand so I told D to give it a pass. We had seen more beautiful ones before. The beach and pool is just as great and I really do not want him to spend more money again. The trips out the main island werent cheap at all.

We then had a chess match which wasnt even completed cos I know nuts abt English chess haha. Went back to the room and gave D a hair wash. He ah one lazy boy! Dont use conditioner! Our hair was so badly in shape cos of all the excessive chlorine! We bought some cup noodles back and savour it while watching HBO. Lotsa show was on and we both laughed hysterically when the Kangaroo Jack was on. So damn lame and funny! Didnt finish the whole show cos I rushed him out to visit the weekend night market.

The bell boy arranged for a cab to come and sent us there. It costs like $7 for a 10mins ride! So damn ex leh! Arrived at the night market, very hot but the smell of food turned me on hahaha. Nothing to buy, all the malays outfits, belts, slippers, none that exactly interests me. But the food did! We ta bao so much food home! Everything was chicken! We bought grilled chicken breast, so damn bagus and it was the size of my 2 palms joined together! Then chicken pcs like KFC but marinated in a special way, very yummy too! Then we had chicken satay, peanut pancakes, crusted hotdog buns, bbq crabsticks, chicken patties and sotong balls! What a spread! Very nice and so cheap! Their pasar malam food is like RM1 per pc which means around $0.48 nia!!! Delicious!

Upon reaching the hotel with our food, D went to order a bday cake for me. I requsted for a black forest cos D luv it a lot! The cake arrived at 1130pm and as usual I wanted him to sing me a bday song haha. Thats not very demanding rite? We opened the bottle of ice wine I brought over. Wah! So small a bottle but damn nice! Sweet! D says they only pluck the grapes once in a yr when it is frozen in the snow, so the quantity always come lower and in smaller bottles but expensive. It was really good! Luckily I have 2 more bottles at home hee hee.

I was craving for a bath soak again and made him prepare one again. So bad hor. But very nice mah so LAMANTIC ok! It was really a memorable and wonderful celebration for me. I adored everything! I luv my boy and thanks to all the peeps out there who remembered my bday. I was quite disappointed it wasnt like before anymore. No more 12am sharp msgs and many forgotten, those really impt ones in my life! Very bad! Some were so remorseful but HMMMPF I gonna remember that for ages! But then again, having D by my side was the most cherished moments of my life!

Actually I received all his pressie way before I was in Langkawi, there were reasons he had to pass me earlier hee hee. I know some are quite anxious to find out what he bought for me. Everything was fabulous! I received 4 Big Ms!!!! Go ahead and guess haha cos he made me went bonkers over this small lil hint!

1st M – Malaysia! Obviously not the whole country but our trip to langkawi. Everything was paid for by my dearest!

2nd M – Meal! Needless to say, a good meal for our anniversary and my bday. And the meal at Captain Grill is something I will never ever forget in my whole life.

3rd M – Massage! Nope I din go for the spa in Langkawi cos I received this M few weeks ago in Spore already. It was meant for a surprise to blindfold me and bring me there but cos I suffered the swelling face that time, my boy decided to pass me the pressie earlier cos he said I needed that haha. Is a spa voucher from The Aspara. Consists of a full body massage, facial and hand treament. Din cost cheap I must say.

4th M – Mp3! He bought me ipod photo! He knew I always like the ipod and he got me the best version of it! I feel guilty cos that was sth I wanted to buy for him this anniversary but due to unemployment, I couldnt afford it. I am sorry dear. I could only afford him a sony vaio mouse he always wanted.

I am so lousy hor? I loved all his gifts so much! But the best thing was the trip! Him being with me and pampering me to the extreme. And the words and sincerity that came from him is the most worthy ever! I am the happiest and most fortunate gal!Disclaimer: In case there are biatches and jerks who are thinking, so hao liao for what, must state it out meh OR always spend bf money, what a brat! Go ahead lah huh. jealous freakos! these info are meant for peeps who luv and care for me anyway not for you losers! I have a wonderful bf who luv me so much, if he doesnt even complain, why should you – LOSERS!
Playing the big chess! I look like lion-ness wo! My hair so badly in shape haha and I think I grown fatter due to the delicacies I had been eating and the TLC from my boy.

My cakey! They have really weird candles though .. tad too huge loh!

Fourth day of trip – My birthday !!!! (21 Mar 04)

After the wine and cosy soak, today we woke up the latest and it was time to check out too hee hee. Went and savour the last day of our breakfast in Langkawi and headed back to the room. Instead of booking out at 12pm, we were granted an extension of 2 more hours. Very good service! Our flight is at late 845pm anyway.

I sobbed on my birthday you know, no the actual term is brawling my eyes out. Was watching this documentary on discovery channel and everything will be so stuck in my mind for long I guess. It was about this female lion cub that this man picked up in a jungle. He is the special guy who studies on the behaviours on the cats family like lions, tigers, leopards etc. So he saw this cub on its own and according to the facts, if a cub is not with their mommies, the daddies will eat them up. Fearing the few days old cub is in danger, he brought her back and named her SingaLana. The cub so cute and so tame! After staying with the man and his companions for long, she grew lazy. She did not like hunting and isnt the normal fierce lioness you see. She luv tossing around in beds haha. Knowing SingaLana should be in the wilderness, he taught her how to hunt and stuff but still SingaLana did not like it.

Until one day, he had no choice but to switch his camp near an area where more lions were around. Then SingaLana went away for a nite to explore leaving this man worried sick but yet knew she have to go one day. But next morning, she came back and she was injured sob sob. I guess the trauma left an impact on her and she never wanted to leave the camp again. But it was a must for the man to leave her one day. And SingaLana left him in a wrong manner. She died boo hoo hoo. Cos there this male lion who came and flirted with her and his gang of wives and concubines were jealous of SingaLana and attacked her. SingaLana was tame and did not like hunting and fighting so she was at no position to win at all and soon she died after severe injuries. I was so sad! So depressed! And I tell you, I am weeping while typing this as well. D says I am too emotional but then SingaLana is very very very cute!

Ok I know this had nothing to do with my trip but I still had an urge to type it out lah. Till now, I cant forget the cute SingaLana tossing and turning around on her cosy bed. Weep weep ….

Alrite! End this.

After the show and so much tearing and crying, it got me tired and soon both D and I were napping again. Woke up at 1pm to pack our stuff and we had to leave. Bade farewell to my lovely room. We wanted to go explore the waterfalls but was told the season was not right, there werent be much waters, so water NO fall isnt nice looking at. We changed our destination to the town where the shopping centres are. Saw adidas, nike bla bla bla but the price was pretty much the same or more expensive. Die die wont pay for it.

At the shopping mall … the animal symbol for Langkawi was the eagle fyi. Looks real hor?

Had lunch at this innovated area where they combined both furniture selling and bistro into one idea. Food was awesome! Wanted to cross opp to the place where a huge park was but the weather was HOT! Blazing! Gave it a miss and told D to head back to our hotel since it was close to 5pm and that the guide will come pick us up at 630pm. Reached the hotel and D posed a temptation too hard to resist. He asked if I wanna head to the beach and pool again. Hell ya! Though is troublesome cos we had to unpack our stuff and was a lil rush, the weather was too nice to say no. We swam and it was really fun! Didnt waste the last day of our trip!

Soon we had to leave the resort to the airport. It was quite sad cos I really had an enjoyable time there. Everything was perfect! Try the place one day folks! There are actually lotsa stuff you can do, they have many places of interest, cruises, diving, snorkelling sessions and islands hopping, mountains exploring and jungle trekking but we prefered quality time spent there and a holiday isnt about rushing here and there anyway, is to spend with your companion and just relax!

With this, I wanna thank my boy and hoping there are more anniversaries to come along! Luv ya dearest! You are simply my everything I cannot lose at all. This 5 yrs din come by as easy as many thought, is all on efforts, sparks and every single sweat, luv, joy, tears, pain bla bla were all put into it. I hope more to come and I also wish everyone you qing ren zhong cheng juan su! (my hanyu sucks huh?) I am so having this radiant glow on me now and so basking in sweet love despite it being 5yrs old already haha!

This trip like the rest will always be carved deeply into my heart forever …….

contd … princess may & nana bkk trip!

Is Friday and Maxie’s bday!
Happy Burfday Xiao Di !!!
Enjoy urself ya?

READ : This post gonna be SO LENGTHY cos it simply narrates one whole week of adventure. If you cant take my nonsense, get ur ass out of here! Don’t complain to me about the length!

Alrite as I promised, I have to pen my bkk trip down.
It may be boring leh cos we practically shop and shop and shop and shop and shop.
And yes, my heart still lingers in bkk even when my ass is stuck in office now.
I prefer the chi dong xi, mai dong xi kinda life haha tell me who doesnt?

After my aerobics class last wed, I reached home around 10pm.
And boy was I so tired, I reached home, had my shower, on my pc and nua … completely dun feel like moving AT ALL.
And I looked at my clock, it was like 1130pm!
I havent even pull out my Samsonite from my store to pack.
And my msn and hp was bombarded with May’s WARNINGS!

COME NOW! .. where u ? I dozing off .. start packing you pig!!!!

Haha .. I was supposed to go her hse and stay so we can proceed to airport the next morning together.
I couldnt take her nagging anymore hence I did a quick pack up.
The bag was not even half full, and silly me I actually added irrelevant stuff to fill more space.
Like one more pair of shippers which I ended up NOT TOUCHING.
Hp charger when the plug is not compatible! I have 2 batts with me already!
And soon the bag was fuller .. (fuller? hahaha i know i m corrupted but it feels like I am describing a bra ad now hahahaha ….) watever!

So I tagged my samsonite down .. waited for her to come pick me up.
SHE IS A SLOW AND SUPER CATIOUS DRIVER!
I take less than 10mins to reach her place and she took like 30mins to reach MY place.
Worst, my hp rang and she got lost! Ben dan!
I had to guide her directions and eventually sat in her car.
Disaster strike again when she took like 15mins to park!!!! Aaarrggghhh ….
Reached her place, changed into my pyjamas and suddenly remembered something.
I LEFT MY BKK MAPS AT HOME!!!!
Damn I was feeling so sleepy already and the clock showed 1am.
No choice, on her pc and surf the web and printed out all over again.
Soon it was ZzzzzZzzzzzzzzz ….
I couldnt slp well, not that I was excited but MAY off the fan cos she was cold!
And the fish tank near her door worsen everything.
I was hot ! I was annoyed by the water noise and the stupid luo han yu playin marbles in the wee hrs!
If only I can cook it!

Ringzzzzzzzzzzzzz, 5am and we have to wake up.
Wash up, double check everything then waited for Jia’s parents to pick us up.
Jia is another fren of ours who is going with us.
Her parents super worried abt her cos 3 ladies going to bkk on their own.
Sent us there, and I tot normally peeps just drop their passengers and will leave.
But her parents did not, stayed with us for breakfast, tagged along with us all the way until they are not allowed in the customs area.
Hugged Jia so tightly, watery eyes … keep tellin us to take gd care of her ..
HARLOW? we are there for 5 days only .. not 5 years haha.
Well .. the family luv her.
As for me? I always have the habit of telling my mum only when my flight is tomorrow.
And they are not worried, they know I can take care of myself.
And for D, he knows I am a tough chick but it does feel weird when I am the only one with auto roam and all the sms n calls coming in were for them and not me.
Well, D was away as well, in Japan so no reception and I dun really have to report to my mum like they do.

Oh well … I bet you guys are screaming now!
What the hell .. She havent even start typing on her bkk trip hahahahaha …

OK lah!!!!

Day 1,
Reach the airport, went searching for maps and waited for everyone to gather before boarding the coach to the hotel.
The guide was quite fuming, she told us a batch of 12 china citizens are not out yet, is like we have been waiting for more den half an hr and I know which batch she was refering to.
The noisy ones on the flight!
Even the passengers from the next flight reached already!
Bet they were there on a mission to run away from China hahahahaha …
The guide was good enuff to tell the driver to bring us there first.
We met let’s just call him boy with specs and his 5566 teammates .. (I will explain why later) at the airport.
“Harlow, you gals are sporeans rite? which hotel u stay?”
I answered them and HENG AH different … so they left.
The coach was huge! And only 6 ppl inside hahaha … oh well finally reached e hotel.
Unpack our stuff, next mins we found ourselves in MBK already.
Shop shop shop … buy buy buy .. eat eat eat.
Dunno how the hell we walked, from 1pm we reached hotel ard 12am.
Mind you is non-stop, refer to the damage for the first few hours only.

Loads are not presented out due to privacy, erm .. ya lingerie!!!! LOL!
And shoes are not nice to be out on the bed we are supposed to sleep and some small little barang barang put liao oso too small to be seen.
Had room serivice and tried wun tun soup as recommended by mark late at nite.
FAILED! not nice leh… maybe change chef.
Then it was good nite already ….

Day 2 (Very eventful day – long!)
Woke up early for breakfast.
Yeah EGGS!!!
Then we drew up our schedule on where we gonna go.
Took the BTS skytrain, became ROBERT ZAI! Cos we realized the cab there is so much cheaper!
The starting price was 35baht and between short distances, the meter dun even jump and that they dun have waiting time fee.
We went to the same place with BTS, took us 15 baht each.
Took cab back, start price 35baht, alight price YES STILL 35baht!!!!
Is incredible! So we kinda kena tok when we took BTS and we only started to take cab on day 4.
As we tot the jam would have increase the cab fare, even took dangerous tuktuk and costs like 150baht!
Assholes! They dun even drive well, there are times I tot my shopping bags will drop out on the streets man.
Went to Central World Center, formerly known as World Trade.
Boring cos departmental prices are ex and worst cannot bargain at all. No fun …
Intro both of them to another place known as Pratunam, loads of stuff!
Bizzare enuff, the place we went was quite ulu, we saw boy with specs and his team there.
And why 5566? Cos they striked some boyband pose and ask me help him take a pic.
Damn, I can sue him for molest, he was touching my hands all over and asking me how to carry a camera well.
I got pissed and tell him hands off or I drop e camera.
Took a quick pic and left. Jerk!
Should have ran away with the cam cos is farking ex cam haha.
May and Jia were still gloating why he always approach me only and that it is such a coincidence to see him twice in a foreign country and that e place was so ulu. suay siah!
We then walked and walked aimlessly with stomach growling like mad.
Miracle happened when we stepped into a building stating Biyoke Hotel.
Hooray!!!! Hotel .. surely can find food!
Ask the recep and she told me there is a resturant @ the top storey.
The building look so lok cok loh, outside very noisy and dirty kind so I din expect the top storey was the 43rd floor and that the restaurant is a high class one.
Jialat! We panicked if it gonna costs us a lot, the place looks dim with candlelight and live pianist and singer.
Wine looks great, ambience perfect, view spectacular!
Decided to browse the menu, ………………………. WOW!
Damn cheap hahaha even cheaper than our hotel prices, unbelievable so we kinda ordered a lot.
We even tried the massage in the hotel but hahahahaha thinking of it now, I wanna luff already.
We got masseuse who dun wash their hands and massage our legs and after that use the hands to massage our face!!!!! Yucky rite .. Jia was worse. Her masseuse sneezed into her own hands and w/o wiping or washing, continued to massage Jia’s face ……… Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Nite approached, went to Suan Lom nite market, huge disaster and really memorable loh.
A heavy rain welcomed us and due to the poor drainage system, the whole place was flooded within mins.
Shops started to close, afraid the water will sip into the shop and spoil their goods.
We were more lucky that a shop owner invited us to stay in her shop while waiting for flood to cease.
Everywhere was flooded and we were stranded.
To make it more ‘happening’ the whole place blacked out.
You wont understand the trauma in us, it was so dark and that in a foreign country, wat if someone used it as a benefit to snatch your stuff or even touch you?
Luckily the shop owners were prepared with candles, but for that few mins of darkness it felt like years and I missed D so much.
Cos with the gals, I normally do the taking care, but with D, he takes great care of me.
We waited and waited for the rain to stop and sat somewhere we could see the nite performance.
The dancers were HOT HOT HOT! Their figures … oh my gosh!
The rain din stop, but when it was less heavy, we wanted to find a cab back hotel, everyone was waiting.
No cabs in sight.
Took a tuktuk and bo bian loh kena tok again.
Afterall only $8 to be shared with 3 ppl and plus it was midnite already, no choice took, back to hotel and slept.

Day 3
Sat, Chatutak Day.
Took the BTS again and the place was huge.
We gave up so many times to find a place to sit down and rest.
Terok siah, too big but very fun and we bought loads of stuff there just that you really need to spend time browsing and haggling.
Met this ‘Wang Li Hom Vs Utt’ lookalike salesperson, damn SHUAI loh and very shuang kuai.
I open a price and without the ‘you gimme 10 more I deduct 10 more’ kinda haggling, everything was fixed.
I happy he happy … luv his attitude!
We shop for hrs and ended up with so many shopping bags, we had planned to go again on Sun hence we left once we spotted shops closing.
And like I mentioned Chatuchak is really HUGE, can you imagine we bumped into boy with specs yet again.
Wah liao .. May and Jia luff again saying we fated. At the same shop leh!!!!
Those ben dan even asked us to recommend them some places to makan ..
“harlow .. do i look like a thai to u???”
“No mah just asking tot u gals got kang tao …. “
Damn KNS loh .. as if I care if they had eaten or not and so bloody lame pick up line loh.
For the record, is always the same guy talking and asking me question, do I look like the mommy of May and Jia????? Why me???? Damn!!!!
Went back to hotel and laze around, as it was drizzling, we decided to walk to MBK and have dinner.
Ate Coca steamboat, the price? WONDERFUL.
3 of us, a set costs us $18 only! to be shared and really made us full.
Spore is like $30 per person loh!
Pretty tired that day, hence went back to hotel and rested early.

Day 4
Proceeded to chatuchak again to finsh combing the rest of the untouched area.
It was really nothing left cos chatuchak had loads of other stuff as well like gifts, handicrafts which we werent interested.
Wanted to see the pets area so badly but then the 2 gals were against the idea cos it kinda stink.
But the dogs are soooooooooooooo adorable!
If only D is ard, then he will go with me cos we both lurve dogs.
Cant blame the gals too, bird flu isnt over and there were roosters there as well haha.
Went back to pratunam and grabbed more stuff again.
Dine at 43rd floor again, noon view not that nice and the chef not that good too.
Dinner @ Coca again, this time kena tok too.
We decided to go ala carte and they charge for ice, extra soup bla bla bla w/o informing us in advance.
Went to watsons to get some gum after that and decided to go Patong, Bkk answer to nitelife and so-call Geylang.
BUT! Jia found her hp gone, apparently it must be the packed situation in chatuchak or pratunam and someone slipped open her bag in such a fast speed.
Well, she was kinda careless to place it outside and cos we purchased travel insurance, no choice but to travel to the police station so far away to lodge a report.
Complete waste of time loh … there was still time so we proceeded to Patpong.
Stupid cabby dropped us at the centre of attraction place, once we alighted, both our left and right sides were having human parade.
Gals in skimpy wear lined up for customers, alamak!
Eyes staring at us loh …. we ran man!
And some stinky Jap followed me all the way and tried to touch me, trying to get some price.
Then came along another stinky Indian man … as usual I just gave them really bad stares and they walked away.
Dirty old man!
May they contract some sex diseases and their most valued area be filled with lumps! hahahaha .. so bad !!!!
The place is really messy and complicated with loads of pubs filled with bartop dancers … they wore so little or rather transparent and shaking their booty away.
Those with fabulous figures rock lah … but alwiz leave a ques mark in my mind whether they are 100% women or … you know wat!
Then those fat ones …… aarrgghhh I pity those ang mo having their drinks there.
Well, really a da kai yan jie for us loh.
Luckily we managed to buy loads of stuff tere .. check this cool clock!
I lurve the second hand .. it moves really fast damn cool loh.
By the way, that’s Cereal – my teddy bear haha …

The woman mentioned she had an agent in spore carrying their clocks and it costs like $30 for one in here.
Mine was ard $7 only .. is so stylo! and best is PINKO!

Day 5
Time to get back to our motherland.
I tried so hard to fill everything in loh luckily I brought extra bags hee hee … all prepared!
Went to get some local foodstuff and do some las min shopping .. AGAIN.
We managed to grab bags before we left haha …
The final damage of the trip : 5 bikinis, 7 bags, 4 pair of shoes, loads and loads of clothes, bla bla bla …
A LOT BUT CHEAP! And all by myself … dun expect another pic of e total items we bought cos really too much to take … hee hee.
Time to head home, and this time a miserable van came pick us up.
Everyone was staring at us cos we have a total of 9 bags! 10 to be precise as one is a large plastic bag like those in mainland type .. filled with food goodies in it.
We went with just 3 half packed ones … fyi.
The driver was kinda headache as the van was so filled up already, leaving just 3 seats just nice for us.
So pai sei … until I realized those 6 Sporeans inside had bags more than us too …
It just proves bkk really very the cheap loh!
Jio me if u want go bkk next time okie? hahaha ..
In the plane, there is this auntie .. goon leh .. go ON her hp n kena scolding from the stewardess.
Can talk back and ask stupid ques somemore … I on only never use .. no problem one …
DUH? Sometimes Sporeans are a disgrace … hai …

Long enuff huh? Hope to show more pics but cos we were most of the time bz shoppin, we din take much and oso the pics are in May’s cam and i guess it gotta take a few days more for me to lay my hands on it.

Before I end this really long posting .. check this out!
