Bangkok trip
I know it's a little late to update on my Bangkok trip but still I've decided to post what I've noted down when I was there.
Day 1 - 27 Nov
- I learned from my aunt that my dad was actually a very kind person. From what I remembered of him, indeed he was a kind man. Very generous and always help those in need. He even gave my aunt's maid money when her mother was hospitalized.
- Had Chinese Lunch at Chinatown. I don't know what excatly happened that made me so pissed with her. I jus remember that I was pissed with her.
- Went shopping at MBK. I didn't like it at all! The problem is I don't enjoy shopping with her. We have no common interest and taste. She was suppose to accompany me shop for my things but in the end I have to accompany her to see her things. She was not interested in what I wanted to see at all!
- Loi Khratong (however it was supposed to be spelled) Festival. You know that type that people float lighted things into the river. The lighted thing is actually candles and joss sticks that's attatched to a banana trunk base that keeps it afloat. What a wonder coincident to be able to be part of this festival.
- Sailed out the river to put our very own lighted float and waited for the fireworks show. Manx. It was BEAUTIFUL!
- Thought that the boat ride would be rather short so we or rather the adults decided to have it after the boat ride. By the time we got back to hotel it was nearly 1am. No choice but to have it in the hotel's cafe. She's so annoying! Complained so much when the food took a long time to be served. She's simply too unreasonable.
- Shared a room with my 60+ uncle. (I love hotel beds n pillows)
Day 2 - 28 Nov
- My uncle woke up so early and started doing don't know what it seemed to me that he wanted to heck down the cupboards in the rooms. Haha... I was awoken by those noise.
- Went to the weekend market @ Chatucak (sorry if I remember the wrong spelling) The trip wasn't successful. I didn't get what I really wanted. But I managed to buy those wires and wrapping papers that are rather expensive here and those that I often use. Managed to buy 2 moo moo-s. One for Sop and 1 for myself. Can't really find nice and unique things for the rest of them. Sadx.
- Wanted to shop more over there cause there seems to be sooo many wonderful things and never ending stalls to go to. But the old folks complained that they were tired and that ended our shopping there.
- I followed my cousins and nephews to the World Trade while my aunt and uncles went back to the hotel. What a waste of time to go back to hotel! Anyway I'm much happier with my cousin's family.
- They were so nice. Treated my lunch followed by swensens' ice cream. It must have cost them quite a bit.
- While being with them I realized how close my cousin and his wife are. Manx. They are so loving!! It's really good to have a husband and father like him. Really. Everyone will agree with me. Although he's quite naggy at times, but he's a good father.
- Bought back dinner for them. Had dinner in the room.
- I moved over to sleep with my nephews. It's really much more fun to be with them. Though it's not a really good idea to be with them esp when our age are quite close, but we're not up to nonsense!
Day 3 - 29 Nov to Day 4 - 30 Nov.
No detailed things noted. Went to Grand Palace and the inclined Buddha. Tried traditional Thai massage. Drank alcholic drinks with my nephews. My younger nephew got drunk the last night. Haha... he sleep very cute!
Summary:Didn't buy much. Managed to buy a tee each for my mum and bro at the very last day though I shopped A LOT. I shopped the most. Followed one group after another. Shopping there may be cheap but they may not be to my liking so no point forcing to buy.
