The more I tried to recall, the more I can't remember what I did in Phuket. It involved lots of daydreaming, wandering around the streets, observing things and people.. okay basically doing nothing. But I guess that's what vacation to a sea side all about (to me at least). Yes, for certain people they can feel the quietness even in the middle of a crowded city. Even I can sometimes. But being near the sea was something different. It makes everything extraordinary. Makes couple walking by the beach extra romantic, birds flying across the sea seems more freedom etcetera etcetera. It may sound exaggerating to some but I believe there's souls out there who will probably agree with me. Places like Phuket feels like freedom. Totally without any constraints or boundaries. You do whatever you want and no one is going to say a thing about it. Perhaps people need that once in awhile. To do what they are told not to. or to not do what they are told to. 

We live in a world with lots of social expectations, from the society, the family, the friends. And sometimes we even tried to fulfilled the expectations of those that doesn't even matter. Tho may seems irresponsible, I'm glad that I don't always take all expectations into account of whatever I'm doing. Being oblivious, that is to do what I love and not minding the words of others, is a double sword to me. I guess either extreme is good to self and to anyone.

Bangkok day 1

OH HI! I'm back from my Bangkok + Phuket trip with my girls. Actually it's been a week since I got back but was too busy catching up with whatever that's going on back home. And it took me several days to unpack! Partly was because I'm lazy, but it was also because the amount of things I brought home scared me a little. 

Okay back to my trip. We departed on Saturday night, a few hours after my last paper. Those few days of exam were torturous, but was well redeem with my holiday. So, arrived at Bangkok around 12 plus and we were looking for our airport transit to hotel. Due to miscommunication, there was none. Hence, 4 girls, midnight, in a foreign city, decided to take a taxi to a hotel that we don't even know where it is. HA HA. Heroin or what. We were quite paranoid on our way to hotel because it seems to be located in a dodgy area. But the hotel turned out to be awesome! It's Baan K Residence. Unlike most hotels, it's a residence so is less crowded but very comfortable. We spent some time going wah! ahh! look at this! look at this! etc etc. 

Settled down for the night and had a rather not so well sleep. But we were all geared up for our shopping next day! First destination:


Chatuchak market

It sells EVERYTHING. We were lucky enough the day was not too sunny. But still humid and uncomfortable after spending few hours there due to terrible ventilation. Nevertheless it didn't stop our shopping momentum. Bought SO MUCH. Because it was ridiculously cheap. And you will feel like you've been cheated on when it's sold so expensive back in Malaysia. Not many pictures taken then because we were too busy shopping. 

Because all the puteris can't stand the heat, we moved on to siam area. Had our lunch @ Siam discovery for some refreshment and rest. Food was delicious!

Bought too much (again) along the way from Siam back to our hotel, and the aftermath:

let's see if I'm persistent enough to blog for the entire trip....

HONG KONG!

 HOLA! I'm back from Hong Kong! Was an awesome trip and turned out much better than I've expected. You know the feeling of uncertainty of traveling with bunch of people you don't really know. I'm not being corny here but damn. They are awesome people! and those five days were really carefree days that I didn't have in a pretty long time. Ever since new sem, or even before new sem starts, my schedule has been so packed with work. I realized I reserve a little room for work wherever I go, whatever I do. This is no good! Those 5 days in HK pretty much took up all my time and mind to keep away from EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. another level of awesomeness :D but it was too little time to spend with the bunch. hope we could stay in HK for at least a week. but yeah. reality's kicking in and is time to buck up. intensive weeks coming up! Just some pictures to give a taste of HK. goodnight!
