hotel recommendation was bangkok city hotel and it's seriously one of the best budget hotel i ever stayed in. i only paid 20 plus per night each and the room was clean and nice with really comfortable bed. was a little bit far from platinum mall (15mins?) but it's definitely not an issue when you only pay that little for such a great place!
i know i just came back from my 2 months break and shouldnt be travelling anymore at least for this year but i.need.a.break. work is so crazy that i might just break down anytime. no joke. it seems that there are so many things happening everyday, things to follow up on and unsolvable issues. i remember spending the past few weeks talking non stop, listening to all kinds of issues and remaining as positive and chirpy as ever.. so much that i dont even feel like talking after work.
shopping in bangkok is awesome but of course things are getting more and more expensive compared to a few years back. the place is flooded with people everyday.
the most amazing part of this impromptu trip was me bumping into my secondary school mates there! SEMBAWANG FOREVER! holy. seriously what are the odds of bumping into your ex school mates in a foreign land when we dont even bump into each other in singapore? even until now i'm still really amazed by our encounter in bangkok. haha
oh btw, i bump into my primary school crush tooo!!! hahaha. but didnt manage to catch up with him much. the whole place was too dark and noisy. half the time i couldnt hear what he was saying. i bet he couldnt hear me too. lol!
so we met up for dinner! when was the last time we sat down for a dinner or was it never? turn out they stayed few streets away from us. hahaha. and our flight back was on the same day too. their flight was only half an hour later than us? LOL
this trip is seriously full of surprises and shock! on my first day, i thought i lost my departure card! i couldnt find it anywhere. im always hearing scary and shitty stories about losing your departure card and how you have to bribe your way through, etc. i read books about their scary environment in jail. :/ seriously all kinds of scenario was going through my head. LOL anyhow, glad i got it back in the end. the hotel staff took it without informing or returning it to me after they are done! seriously.
second day chee thought she lost all her money! HAHAHA.
and on our last day while preparing to leave our hotel for our flight back to singapore, we experienced tremor in our hotel room. chee was doing her make up and suddenly she noticed all the hangers shaking violently. i was squatting on the floor packing my luggage and suddenly i fall down too. lol drama like shit. glad it only last for a few mins? and yes we are still alive and back in singapore. hahaha.
no doubt travelling is dangerous but addictive. i'm totally enjoying all my little adventures and encounters.
there are so many countries i want to visit and the thought of going away again for a few months is still there. but i doubt my mum will ever allow that again. :(
