Bkk Part I

ironic that this post is all about my bkk trip in july (oh how time zooms by) when bkk is in a state of emergency now. but i don't think that would hurt thailand's booming tourism industry whatsoever, as compared to here. anyways... pictures tell a thousand words. :p

in back of taxi heading to hotel

we stayed at the hotel ibis siam bangkok. it was clean, it was nice. just right. :)

outside

lobby

our room

after we checked in, we were starving... so we ended up having...

cheesy fries

pork burger at mcDs!!!

then it was on to SHOPPING!!!

somewhere in Pratunam Wholesale Market near Platinum Mall

our purchases thus far

calculating how much we've spent... on day 1

Thoughts of the Day...

what if i wasn't doing what i am doing now? what and where would i be?

i remember there was a point in time where i didn't want to study law. it just wasn't what i wanted to do.

what if i persisted with what i then wanted to do?

perhaps i wouldn't have to work 'til late at night. perhaps i would be happier. enjoying what i do.

but one thing's for sure, i may have never met my smoomoo. and i wouldn't be this happy.

anyways...

Battle of the Bands?

more details later...

what a liar...

hope your pants catch on fire.
no one comes to your aid.
and u burn 'til u're dead.

rhyming aside... imagine driving for ONE AND A HALF HOURS to get home. a drive which normally takes u approximately fifteen minutes at least. then u thought u're FINALLY on the home stretch... only to find urself stuck in a congestion on a two-lane road all becos some smartie pants decided to jump the queue on the left side of the road just to get to the petrol station and thereby effectively blocking ur only route home. by that point, all u wanted to do was to just go home, go toilet and then have dinner. and then u have idiots who think u're jumping queue too and so they won't let u pass. *sigh*

below are scenes from tonight's fiasco.

yups, i joined the queue at the petrol station. but for a valid reason... my car was running outta petrol!!!

sometime back, meena won tickets to have dinner with Curtis Stone.

the precious photo meena loves so much...

***

smoomoo and i went back to penang for the labour day weekend. it was something like a retreat for me. an escape from the stress of the job. smoomoo brought me to the butterfly farm and there were SOOOOO many butterflies!!!





***

then, two weeks after that, we went to melaka with spring and summer and their respective other halfs. it was a superbly exhaustingly fun weekend. the nyonya cendol was drool-worthy!

okays. time to sleep. 'til next time...

OMG.....

.......i just realised i have yet to post anything for this year!!!

ah wells, here's my first post for 2008. better late than never! =D

i even forgot to blog about my birthday!!!

spring got married recently...

... and i'm in a new firm...

"The feeling of sleepiness when you are not in bed, and can't get there, is the meanest feeling in the world."
- Edgar Watson Howe

i'm so sleepy. i'm at work and i'm sleepy. falling asleep at my pc just waiting... *yawns*

hmm... i seem to spend most of my time sitting around waiting...

"I'm not asleep... but that doesn't mean I'm awake."

i've resigned.

Farewell...

how does one say goodbye?
especially to someone you never thought you would find it hard to say goodbye to.

how does one say goodbye?
especially to someone who's been a great teacher to you.

how does one say goodbye?
especially to someone you realised you've come to admire.

how does one say goodbye?
especially to someone who's like a mother to you.

how does one say goodbye?
please someone tell me how...

Why does it take a minute to say hello and forever to say goodbye?

I LOVE MY NEW PHONE!!!

i really really love my new phone!

i blew this month's expenses by getting this phone but... i don't change my phones as often as spring! (oops... hehehehe... sorry spring... =P) but i really really love this phone! well, not as much as i love my rokr e1 but nevertheless...

the sound ain't as great as rokr e1... no surround sound speakers... no fancy light sensor thingy... not white... no java games pre-installed...

but the camera is like 3.2 megapixels with autofocus!!! my phone has the same megapixels as my camera!!! =P

see... see the piccys... *grins*

photos taken at jian's condo...




and and... it has a panoramic function!!! my camera doesn't have that...







cool ain't it????

oh, i just realised... in my excitement, i didn't mention what phone i've been talking about... *ehehehhe*

it...

......is...

...........the...

..................new...

..........................samsung...

........................................u700!!!

super gorgeous i tell you!!! *happy*
no regrets getting blowing my expenses for the phone... =)

r.i.p.

this post is specially dedicated to my beloved motorola rokr e1 who has accompanied me through thick and thin. help to lower my stress levels on horrible days with his i-tunes. whose surround sound is irreplaceable. whose beautiful dancing lights are incomparable.

rest in peace my beloved motorola rokr e1.
i miss you already.

decisions...

The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.
- Flora Whittemore

we make decisions everyday, even unconsciously. waking up and getting out of bed is a decision in itself. but every now and then, we come face to face with having to make a very big decision. decisions that require a good deal of consideration, careful analysing, planning and eventually, coming to the decision itself.

what phone should i get??!!!

decisions decisions...
