Bangkok 2013: Christmas Trip Day 2

Breakfast in Hua Hin

Love

Here's pretty much the second day of my Bangkok Trip. Pretty much it started with a really good breakfast although I'm not much of a morning person. However, I love coffee, so getting it early in the morning just to ease a little bit of my mood and sleepiness. ;) Of course, I ordered my all time love, Cappuccino. Why? Because its so fluffy and foamy. It always reminds me of bubble baths.  

BACON BEEF POTATO EGG

Now to pair up my coffee, I went with another one of my favourites for that morning. Yes, sliced bacons and beef and baked potatoes garnished with a pouched egg and pepper plus sour cream. ;) Seriously, I think this plate did brightened up my morning, it was soooooo banconizingly bacon good.

Later on we went to one of the oldest railway stations in Thailand itself.

Hua Hin Railway Station. 

Well, pretty historical. Nevertheless, we roamed about a good 15 minutes around the train station to just take pictures. My mum said, "Just take pictures, girl! We just want to 'feel' like we were here as a proof."
Okay, sure, yes mother, I so totally feel it.

Spot the Asian. 

Basically, we were still in Hua Hin. Since Hua Hin is famous for the beach, I mean, although I'm not a big fan of beaches, why not right. So we went and take pictures as evidences for my mum again, well, as long she is happy.

Hua Hin Beach  

Busy beach. By the way, the horse was pooping. ;D

Hua Hin Floating Market

Hua Hin Floating Market Entrance

Floating market was quite lonely since there were no floating sampans on the river due to the fact we came at the wrong hour. ;( So, we just decided to buy a few souvenirs (mostly all my mum, since she what 'ah chan lou mou' also need to buy.) there and I actually purchased a blue dress for just RM 18. At least, something.

Handmade Dolls

That's pretty much for day two. Day 3 coming up ;)

New

I can't believe tomorrow will be day I go back to college. Well, it was supposed to be last week but since attendances don't matter that first week, it ain't hurt anyone to be lazy right. The holidays have been making me quite a slack chick and being a potato couch almost every afternoon with the television and my break lunches. No, I wake up naturally, so it's definitely after twelve. I'm pretty good with sleeping over time.

Even though the new year mood passed, I still feel like I'm not new yet. Everything around me changed except me. Even the one person I thought would probably take time to feel normal seemed to heal already. I'm still kinda trapped in a place I'm unfamiliar with and I really want to get out. It's really hard trying to undo my feelings and just wipe it off. The question is how long would it take, that's crazy. Everyday I think about it and there are times when I think why. It's because I was living as an expectation but not myself. That's why I haven't been happy for the past couple of months. And I know I was making that person unhappy too.

I have so many things planned for the idea of 'us' but it just didn't matter anymore after a decision. It's sad how life make you choose between staying true to yourself or being with someone you love so much but losing 'myself' on the way. Sometimes I think it's unfair of God to put me here but I trust His plans and hopes He restores my faith. I regretted nothing but am really sad how it went down.

Since tomorrow will be the day I start my busy days, I will try to put all my energy and attention to all of these. This semester, will probably be the one I wished it will be roller coaster like, challenging and just crazy. I want to drown in that pile of crap. Since everything is different now, I'll have a new lifestyle to adapt to. Yes, one person can change your entire regime of life and I guess I need to change it and do new things. Like, exercise more, hit the gym, swim, cycle and just a good  breakfast every morning by waking up early. (Unless I rave and party the night before which is rare) I want to just be myself again. And never love until I'm ready.

If everyone could see how things will end at the end all the consequences, would we have chosen that path?

Long Awaited Meetup

For months, I've been longing to meet up with Ashley and Bridget. Ever since last year's July, I don't think I've actually seen their faces. Well, I finally met them but only with Bridget yesterday since Ashley 'fong fei kei' and fly far far away. But we have wonderful plans and our scheme was to make Ashley jealous. ;D 

So after deliberating for a long 30 minutes (its not long but so be it), we decide to go Pavilion and do our Chinese New Year Shopping. We were going back and forth from Pavilion to Fahrenheit and H&M in the Lot 10 building. 

Selfies <3

Bridget was probably raping the stores as she took anything she thinks were well, nice. Price tags actually were secondary for her (she was literally grabbing so many clothes until she dropped it all on the floor ;D) After shopping for a few hours, we went to Tous Les Jours Cafe opposite Lot 10 Building. ;) 

OOTD

Since their Green Tea Frappé was unavailable, we had to choose different flavours. How can they not have my green tea? ;( Anyway, decided to sit outside since the indoor part of the coffee house was so crowded we couldn't admire the indoors but it definitely looked pretty.

Having coffee

Caramel Frappé, not bad actually.

As we were having coffee, we counted how much we've spent on the day shopping. I approximately spent about RM 150 on clothes, even using my debit card. I feel extremely broke. Well, I should probably consider a job after my third semester of foundation. It's good to meet up with Bridget, since she's as goofy and petite as she is. Its good to catch up some chats and gossips with someone you knew for a long time. 

We sat there for quite long and talked until it was almost 7pm and decided to go home. Surprisingly, KL City wasn't much of a hassle yesterday, so we to and back free from traffic. Plans to meet again will be coming up in then ext few months until Ashley Chai is getting back her car. As for yesterday,it was such a great meet up before I start college again. ;)

Bangkok 2013 : Christmas Trip Day 1

Finally had time to upload all the Bangkok photographs into my laptop. So definitely, this post will be filled with some Bangkok love. ;)
Well, my family kicked out the traditional ways and decide to celebrate Christmas this year. And to have an excellent kick start, we decided to go all the way to one of the most shopping centred countries in the world, Thailand. What's the pain, with a little excitement for shopping? Right, the money.


Nevertheless, we started of boarding really early in the morning, well 4 am to be exact. The premier van drove us all the way to the airport. Since it was still dark and everyone looked like pandas, I decided to skip the photographing and just sleep. 

When we finally boarded, we continued sleeping on the plane for a whole two hours. As we got down, we took a taxi straight to our condo. It took the taxi 4 hours to find the condo since it was new and it was located in Hua Hin. As we reached there, we decided our first thing to do is get coconut water. Because, we were all dehydrated in the car.

The Santorini Park

Main entrance to the park. 

Ferris Wheel. ;) Its even prettier at night.

Swiss Sheep Farm

During the night, we decided to go to Cicada Market. Its a flea market filled with crafts and handmade products. Probably, one of my favourite places during the trip.

Amazing

Day 2 coming up. ;)

Spring Cleaning

I have been vandalizing my room tonight. My mission is to reorganized everything clogged up to long in my wardrobes, shelves and really dusty boxes. I moved in here since five years back and it's time to unpack some of the boxes I left there. And not to say about the clothes I've bought over the months all still packed in lonely plastic bags from blogshops and of course Kenanga Mall was the main reason.

Instead of actually packing up my stuff, I decided to well, play with all of the things I find. The room was stuffed with a gazillion post cards, gift cards, Polaroid films, birthday cards and bookmarks everywhere. And not to say, my shelves were randomly filled up with Seventeen Magazines and ViVi Fashion spreads. Also a few Cosmopolitans here and there. Best part is, I found so many unused notebooks and I can't believe I just bought two new Typo Journals.

I've also met with a few souvenirs on the way. Souvenirs are mainly the reason why my room is so decorated. I've a big bunch of friends, so I tend to get a lot of love when they go overseas and of course, I return the favour Everytime I go anywhere too. I somehow think the souvenirs can solely be turned into a yard sale and people would actually show up.

The most hectic would be the accessories. God knows what I should do with them as how I should segregate them. It's all so messed up because I think I'm quite an accessory whore. A few of my girlfriends also donated to this massive accessory gallery I have since they buy me on birthdays. My mum always say I'm an accessory psychopath and I should probably give away the ones I won't wear anymore. However, they are all so pretty, it's quite hard.

As I'm finishing the 'packing', well sort of, I came across my photo album which I've stored all the school pictures from primary to my high school years and all my national service pictures. Yes, I went to NS, people need to believe me that I survived there. Everything felt like yesterday. I missed feeling sleepy on Mondays in class, falling asleep in science labs with books opened, complaining about teachers and worrying about acing subjects and experiments that I hate.

It's crazy how time flies. You know what, cleaning rooms are quite helpful at times to let people look back at what they've been through. It reminds them why they are here. It's quite amazing how packing things can just somehow also reorganize my thoughts. And get a room cleaned up all at the same time. ;)

Backwards

Greetings.
15 Days of 2014.
Back to all beginnings and I have basically decided to start a new chapter of a new book.
The previous year was filled with both joy and sorrow for me.

Looking back at all the things happened last year, its amazing how I survived through the bad and let the joy slipped past my fingers so fast. There probably was not even a moment where i store it in my head and remind myself of all of God's blessings.

2013 was the year i met someone so special and yet at the same time was the year I lost someone special at the end. It was also a year I came to know a bit more about myself, the friends that I would trust, my flaws and weakness, strength and capability. Its definitely an eye-opening year.

I'm probably going to think of my new year resolutions since I still haven't decided the things I want to accomplish by this year. So far, nothing has come to my mind. I genuinely hope this would be an awesome year for everyone. More to come from me, do keep in check. ;)

Have a blessed year everyone. ;)
