a new beginning

started new job for a week and i can see that i'll be very very busy from now onwards. though the company is small, i know that i can learn a lot from there. hopefully everything will go smoothly for me. i cannot let myself and everyone around me down again. especially those who are close to me. especially my ex boss. especially Smelly. i cannot afford to hurt them again and again, seeing me go aimlessly not knowing my direction even though i'm already holding a map and compass. i cannot fail them endlessly. i cannot waste my time anymore. cos i'm not young already. i've got wrinkles forming in the corner of my eyes. fine lines are more visible on my neck. back is getting hurt from sitting too long in the office. sigh! signs of aging..

oh.. last weekend we had farewell dinner for Gary and Joyce. they're migrating to NZ. hope they will have a wonderful new life there. photos coming up soon... IF i have the time to arrange it.

went for a drink and some shopping with Ann. omg... it's been like.. a year since we last went out. good to know that we've not drifted apart, like most best friends do after a while not seeing each other. i'm so glad that i've wonderful besties. two is enough for me... quality is always more important than quantity ;)

p/s: ann, we should hang out more often yea?

i is back!

back from Bangkok last Monday. too lazy to upload photos cos Opera and Safari is damn stupid. can't organize the photos. 

summary: Bangkok is definitely NOT a place for me and Smelly. cos he doesn't really like shopping. and seeing him waiting for me while i do is a bit of a pain la.. kesian him.. another thing is.. the hotel that i stayed in is very inconvenient. far from shopping area. far from taxi stand. far from BTS station (have to walk at least 10 minutes). a bit regret that i didn't consult David, a good friend in Bestour.

so people, next time don't pandai pandai like me, do research online only, never ask properly. 

i've uploaded the photos in facebook so not gonna put it all here again.

us at The Dome at State Tower. celebrate my birthday ma.. but mana tau, this skybar punya view is not that nice cos it's not fully open air (should've went to the one at Banyan Tree Hotel). and it costs us over rm100 for 2 drinks. my advice... don't go to any of the skybars. better buy liquor from supermarket or 7-eleven there. damn cheap.


at angkor wat

we wanted to go Wat Pho, The Sleeping Buddha and the Grand Palace but then we didn't know that we can't go in with shorts (another reminder: please DO RESEARCH PROPERLY before you travel next time!) so we went to another temple instead. it was a small temple. only open to public on selected days. we were lucky that so happen it was open the day we went there.
we bought some joss stick and candles and it came with a small piece of paper. we threw it away not knowing what was it for.. after praying, we got to know that the paper is for us to scrape off the gold on the Buddha statue and bring it home. it'll bring good luck.
-_-
no. we didn't take it back from the dustbin though i really feel like doing so. but then.. it was the heart that counts, right?
went to Chatuchak, Pratunam and Suan Lum night market.  another advice is... you can choose to go either one of the above mentioned place. cos the things they sell are all the same. personal advice: go to Pratunam Market, opposite Platinum shopping center (Platinum also selling the same thing in Pratunam but price a bit different cos one got air cond, one don't have). don't have to waste your time shopping in Suan Lum cos it's like our Petaling Street. they cut tourists punya throat like we slaughter chicken for Chinese New Year. but can go there for food though.
er...
overall it was a tiring trip cos we spent too much time in the taxi cos Bangkok's traffic jam is terrible and the hotel is far. we're definitely going for beach holiday next time!
oh yeah... Happy Birthday to ME!!!

birthday gift from Peks...
new hair!
cos she always say my hair style is very "liong" so she insisted that i pay a visit to Shawn Cutler. so how? nice? Smelly said it's nicer than how daddy always cut it (shhhh... don't let daddy know ok!).
hmm... should i cut it short again??
