Two nights in Bangkok...

***sigh*** I am back from Bangkok. Pheww…penat. Alhamdulillah everything went smoothly. The night before the trip night as usual I get jittery over leaving home. What if the plane crashed? Who’ll take care of Amir? And who’s going to clear up all my junk at the office? Time tu la terfikir tak buat wasiat la, tak leave details of Amir’s inheritance la…me and my worries. So, I’ll do what I usually does when I am nervous..aku basuh toilet. Sometimes I’ll let the slimy green thing grow so I can scrub them away when I am stressed. It helps as it feels like I eliminated my problem along with it. Nahh…don’t bother to understand… it’s one of my eccentricity.
Kat Airport, I tried out the automatic immigration lane. The screen said “sila letakkan ibu jari di pengimbas”, aku mati-mati la ingat on the screen itself, rupanya kat tepi the machine. Kechut noticed my “Perhakness”…kena gelak lagi.
Oh, the Air Asia flight took 2 hours 10 minutes to Bangkok. Masa dah settle down dalam flight, suddenly they announce “Ms So-and So..please identify yourself to the crew”..I was like “Huhhh?? What did I do?” Mala & Kechut dah start gelak, B pun boleh sengih tengok aku gabra, “If I go, you guys are coming with me!!!” Heheheh..rupa-rupanya, my tag from the hand luggage tertanggal kat depan pintu. Well, that’s my 5 second fame la kononnya.
Bangkok was not as hot as the last time I was here. Our hotel was quite far from the ‘shop till you drop’ area. Patut la murah….hampeh betoi! Takpe…next time, I will not stay at Amari Atrium. Indira Regent, Baiyoke Skyview and Amari Watergate is really good. Kak Puteh, an entrepreneur we met said Bombay Palace is good hotel too as it is very near to a masjid, turun hotel dah ada Muslim Food. Noted. Makanan memang banyak, tapi when they sell it together with the piggly wiggly…punah.
Chactuchak, the weekend market was one heck of a place. Truly amazing and fascinating. Aku paling enjoy kat kedai DIY for craft. Lepas ni ada la kengkawan dapat handmade card. From the short description in the tour leaflet, it has 15,000 registered gerai. Jaw dropping tak? Aku rasa, aku lalu kat 100 gerai je kot. Mala pun mata jadi macam guli.
I did not shop that much, …chewaahhh…Yea ke? Macam in denial je? Muahahahahaha….Ada la sikit…tapi Kechut…memang Kechut, dia beli 1 t shirt Hard Rock Bangkok aje.BTW, HRC kita 10 kali lebih happening dari theirs. Laki aku pun beli satu seluar yang lepas dicuba di hotel, does not fit him really well. But then again, we bought things for their family..so they cannot claim that they did not get anything because we bought it for them? Betul tak? Anything to get rid of the guilt.
Oh! Our ½ day tour ended at this kilang gem stone. Waduh..gorgeous-gorgeous sungguh..nasib baik tak terbabit. Tapi aku ngan Mala, instead of looking at the display, we all sibuk dok ikut another tourist checking out her Green TODS handbag. Gorgeous gila…If Adik ada ni, she’d probably salivating over it together with us. I checked a website selling TODS handbag at work today. The one we were salivating over is made from deer skin (YOU KILLED BAMBI!!!)…USD$549.*****Gulppp*** I am okay with Calf skin sebab I love steak…but deer?? Well I hope they killed the deer for the meat and not the skin……. I told you I am a bit demented..my thought strays..I can’t help it. Plus, I cant’ afford a USD$549 handbag. Earth calling Shamm..
Alhamdulillah, I am back..safe and sound. With this trip, I realize how thakful I am to actually have the money to travel overseas even though with tight budget, to buy things that my heart desire (not all but I am thankful), to know that Mala & Kechut will be a long time travel companion, I have a Mom who is willing to look after my son while mak dia pergi berpoya-poya, jumpa Kak Puteh who is forever willing to show us a few tricks and traits in business, and that all my thoughts before going to Bangkok did not come true..you know..the plane crash and all…Takoottt..I could go on, but it’s almost 1 and I need my sleep so I can stay calm while a purple dinosaur dancing about tomorrow. That’s right…am taking Amir to Barney show tomorrow. It’s a date…lengkap dengan a trip to Mc Donald.
