I never said that I was normal

Before I start posting up the Bangkok side of part 2, I jus wanna share a little short story about me….

It happen this weekend, and I have been pretty much playing dressing up to work,

if you asked any girls,

They love playing dressing up;

That why when they were kids, they have dolls with hundred of clothes so that they could dress the doll up and imagine the doll will have its very own occasion.

Fast forward 20 years, the doll will basically turns out to be themselves because they will go shopping and by hundreds of clothes and dress themselves up.

Me?

I fall into this category of vain…..

Yes, I go shopping,

And I buy clothes that I love ….not one but more than that la ok?

And the clothes would jus be simply plain it there is not bags or shoes or bangles to go with…..

And yes…in additional, I also enjoybuying others stuff besides clothes as well…..

Bags, shoes, make-up, blings, yada- yada…..

Lets jus say I enjoy buying stuff for myself…sound selfish?...

you bet I do…..

I did mentioned that I was in Bangkok last month, and yes, there were numerous clothes for me to wear even up to this date. After Chinese new year, I have been wearing different outfit everyday to work until yesterday, because I have this particular shirt that I have wanted to wear ever since I bought it in bangkok and its not officially launched by me yet…. and I’m dying to wear it…..

Since it was a Friday , I thought that I may as well go for the rugged outfit that has been hanging in the cupboard calling my name to wear her…

A quick check at my diary shows that I will not have any appointment an so I did, I wore that outfit wid striking colour of blue and pink with plunging V-neck line..

I’ve matched my clothes with the boots that I borrowed from my mum and the handbag….

When I have reached office, my colleagues came over to comment on the clothes; the boots and the usual stuff that they asked…my boss..nope… he never bothered…

However, He was walking towards the pantry when me and my few colleagues were chatting about the clothes that I wore… a fellow colleague was trying to pull my boss legs and and said

“ hey boss, you see yr assistant everyday also wear until so “geng”

his reply came in quick “ I never said that she was normal”

…(in my heart, i could not agree more, people who knows me know that i;m "sot")

and there you have it….my fellow colleague gave a good laugh..

… I could not agree better, I have never been entirely normal when it comes to dressing up ..even..during childhood or even in church.. you can literally check with my homies fren, they will reveal the answers.. ..

be in normal or not….. … if you feel good today, go play dress up!

bangkok jam!

The title already speak for itself, this trip was a crazy trip..

Did you get that..

I said it again… “CRAZY TRIP”

It was a suppose to be a solely shopping trip,

But somehow we ended up in floating market..jus look and the pictures and enjoy k?

We boarded a 7.50 am flight and reach Bangkok around 10.05 am ,and since Bangkok was slower by an hour, it was only 9 a.m plus… what else can one do? we took a bus to bangkok instead of a cab, konon la wanna save some money.....We took thai breakfast when we reached bangkok city, please dun ask me what I had because I myself was also confused, it was somewhat sausage wrapped in wafer…mixed of salty and sweet ….. sorry ..no photo..lupa la….

In bangkok,

the taxi drivers and bus drivers always refer to this victory monument …

somewhat like our kl central…..

meaning that if you would like to go to chak tu chak market, they will tell that it is 15 mins from victory monument

or if you would like to go to Chinatown , then it would be 40 mins from victory monument,

their victory monument looks like this….

[VICTORY MONUMENT]

Lol, u must have thought I was somewhat glamour…..well, sorry to disappoint you , its not, but the roundabout is rather a very very big one...much bigger than your usual shah alam roundabout or the batu caves roundabout.......

but I was rather impressed with their overhead bridge which was about 1 km long,

if you notice carefully behind my beautiful face, you could actually see that I’m on top of the pedestrian bridge…..

[HEADING TO CHAK TU CHAK] via mrt...

Our first stop was chak tu chak market,this market is one of the very famous market in bangkok... the market is only opened during the weekend, Saturday & Sunday, and every piece of items you can think of is sold here,

Seriously, they were shoes, bags, clothes, plates, furniture’s, pets, foods, shrines, antics, accessories and blah.. blah blah….the many items that were sold, it was crazy….let me give u a brief imagination,

the shops were merely 6 x 6 foot,

the inner path was not wider than 4 feet; well except for the main road, and they were more than 30,000 shops..hello…30,000 shops…….

See for yourself….

t-shirts were selling cheap cheap....but seriously not all stuff can be bought here cause this market is basically our jonker street in melaka....

they only entertain tourist and most of them can actually speak english, which means ...~ duh~
toursit spot la....
if you must know, thai people dun speak english and the only language they speak is...well.. yeah...thai........and if you dun understand thai language, dun worry...jus say "mai kau jai"..... no serious...it means to say that you dun understand........

they were other items selling in the market like bowls and sushi plates and stuff that you can only find in ikea only way way tonnes cheaper......

the ceramics bowls and plates comes in different sizes,colour and texture.. and some were really cute.....i wanted to buy some but then i worried if it was possible to actually carry back everything to malaysia......but stil..... i was tempted to buy..but i was stopped by my fellow colleague who pleaded me to be rational.....

Fine! fine! who can be rational when everything is freaking cheap la......and did i mentioned that the strawberries were selling like any ordinary fruits vendor you find in malaysia..for only 20baht you could actually enjoy such yummylicious fruits.....ok ok , i know some of u guys dun really fancy strawberries....

but they were also jackfruit, mangoes, and pineapple...

they were super sweet and super cheap.....i think i had about 4 pineapples for a freaking 2days....

and i know what pineapples are ok....? so please dun ask why i had so much...if some of you know why girls shouldn't have too much pineapple..well....go figure........

these are the animals prints bolster, cushion cover, handbags and all sort of animals prints cover ... the shops itself looks like a safari.....

the market were also selling really really cute pet..for Less than 1000 baht, you could actually get one......




they were so damn freaking cute..check out the video here....
i'm not very good at uploading video, so please bear with me.....if it takes too long too load

we spent about 4-5 hours touring the market, we also knew that we have missed out many many shops, but out legs were tired, and our eyes were getting blurry from all the things we saw in the market, we were very hungry too and we almost passed out due to the heat and we could only save ourselves by catching a cab to the hotel....



[to be continued......................]

wil post it up soon....

Dear people,

Sorry for the lack of updates, was pretty busy during my trip to Thailand as well as Chinese new year..and all sort of stuff that came along....

Will blog about Thailand,

And the annual dinner,

Also About the trip to Teluk Intan,

And setiawan trip,

And the madness of Chinese new year,

And the food,

And everything that has left out since the beginning of the year….

Would like to wish everyone,

“ Gong hei fatt choyy,

Sum seong see seng”

Gong hei..gong hei!!!

Argument!

In every argument, there is never right or wrong

Because everyone wants to be right,

Therefore they will argue that the other party is wrong,

In the end, the argument does not end,

The heart is broken,

There is too much silence

No one is happy,

Yet, knowing that,

Nobody wants to come out to admit that there are wrong

Not because that their opinion is wrong,

Or they have lost the argument,

But the pride itself,

Because to start an argument itself is wrong,

Both parties is wrong,

Both parties get hurt,

Heartbroken,

It breaks the spirit,

Knowing the person you love,

Is not in tuned with you.

I would cross the road….without the bridge

After I was back from Singapore, I realized that the people here (Malaysia) are really different from what I saw in Singapore.

[ btw, i will sort my pic from s'pore and will post in up later here]

as i was saying, Pedestrian are priority in S’pore and having said that, the driver are always reminded…. to allow pedestrian to cross first. And I’m sure it applies everywhere else, well except for you know…Malaysia, the Land of Glory

People here drive with pride and glory alright, the glory of driving like a madman….

if you are pedestrian, then u better open your eyes big big because these drivers here are really crazy and if you think of crossing the road, as you know u should always : PANDANG KIRI, PANDANG KANAN & PANDANG KIRI BALIK when crossing the road

NEW TERMs in MALAYSIA IS THAT:

PANDANG KIRI, PANDANG KANAN & PANDANG KIRI, PANDANG KANAN, KALAU BERANI, LINTAS JALAN….. because you would never know when a mad man will ram across a red light and just when you expect that the car will stop at RED., you are wrong because Malaysian will particularlly speed at red light…I REPEAT : “SPEED AT RED”, “accelerate at yellow” and slow at green…..

Yesterday evening, I tried to get across the road heading bac to my house.. mind you the place where I’m staying is Gombak and currently Our DEAR Mr. SV is expanding our road..or so he claimed he was.....rubbish!! (PUI!Pui!) and imagine that I tried to cross a traffic somewhat like this:

ok, ok.....Maybe a little exaggerating , but I used to cross the road even when they are double lanes on both side…...

jus like a true Malaysia…I also dun follow the rules...i hate to use the overhead bridge and despite that there is a sign which says “ DENDA RM 500” . I tend to ignore the sign to save time and to save energy....

Back to my story, by the time I wanted to cross, I realized that the street lights are not working because of the upgrading work and it was already dark,also, my grandparents were talking the other day that a boy died while trying to cross the road, and the incident was a hit a run case..... and I saw the sign of the overhead bridge about 50M so..why not?

my first step was ok, as I approached the higher steps, i saw this freakish thing at the side:

ewww….. .. if that was not gross enough...... the smell of someone jus leave their landmark here… was utterly bad....

the smell was horrible, reaching at the top, it was impossible to actually walk because the bridge was flooded with water, the lights were dim and I think people who wants to commit suicide will come here….

Seriously, for a moment….the taught of being a good citizen to use the overhead bridge makes me puke…. the sight of mud and rubbish makes it an eye sore.... you really wished that you never walked up here.....

i try to rushed down as quickly as my feet could carry me, and because i did not want to hold on to the handle,i look like a crazy person balancing myself with my arms in the air while running down the stairs, at one point.... i almost slip because the tiles were wet....

i cant wait to get down from the bridge, after i have finally made it....

i was really happy...... and i swear.....

I WOULD NEVER NEVER USE AN OVERHEAD BRIDGE IN MALAYSIA…..

Resolution 2008!

Regardless of the many resolutions that I make every year, I realized that somehow it is very difficult to tick off everything that I have accomplished in the whole year,

However, this time my 2008 resolution are :

1. To be on time

[I realize that despite that I always make an effort to wake up early, I have a tendency to snooze my alarm, so to make a change, I bought myself an alarm clock which goes… KKKKRINGGGGGGG when the time is up]

2. To be simplistic

[ I’m not a complicated person, perhaps a little bit weirdo and sometimes crazy and I even bring my craziness attitude to my workplace, gonna cut down on it ]

3. To sleep less

[ despite the many hours that I sleep in a day, I still feel the need to take a nap or sleep. An average people would need like 6 – 8 hours, but I would need 10 hours ]

4. To shop less

[ I’m a shopaholic, please dun ask me how many dresses or shoes or bags or jewelry or clothes I owned, because I lost count, and hopefully I would be able to resist tempatation, but this would only be materialize after my shopping trip to Bangkok of course ]

5. To praise other for their good work

[ ok , I admit that I usually don’t acknowledge someone’s good work unless they are really good for me to praise them, that would exclude kids, because kids can be good at anything even though they make a mistake…… so I should really start praise people at my work for the good works they have done..gosh I’m BADDDDD! ]

FIVE IS all that I need to keep for year 2008, I guess I would continue to improve and improve

Having said that, in order all my resolutions to work well, I would make sure that my heart is at the right place.

Right heart produce right attitude, right attitude will produce right action, right action will produce the right result.. ….

Have a nice day…………..

Great Year in 2008!
