Looking at this picture, I gotta say... Thank God for all the right decisions I have made in life. Hahaha! Meeting the right guy and putting my fear for dental aside to get those metal fixed on every single tooth. It's honestly the best investment I've made thus far!! (I know I've said this many times but seriously... Everyone should put braces.) Okay, to be fair, it's not as though I have made many investments on myself that come with hefty price tags. Even my education is paid for by my dad. So... Oh well. But I'm definitely paying him back my Uni fees when I start working.

Anyway, the fat boy has gone for his field camp for 3 whole days already. I think a part of me has followed him to the field camp as well, just not physically. I find myself constantly thinking about the possible stuff he could be doing and looking at the sky to check the weather, hoping the skies would stay clear for this period of time. Arghhhhhhh. Not communicating for 6 whole days really pose a challenge for me okay. People who know me well enough should know that I emphasize on getting not instant, but quick replies.

My theory goes like this: If you don't bother to check your phone and reply, then what's your purpose in getting a mobile phone? As the name suggests, it's obviously for portability and accessibility right?! So if you have both, shouldn't you check whatever calls and/or messages you have?

I think apart from Jem (after years of intensive training hahaha), the only person that can match up is Koklulu. Hahaha!

So even though Jem is away, I'm still constantly sending him text messages, because I simply can't help it. Call it the separation anxiety or withdrawal symptoms. I just need to text him, even though I clearly know the fact that I would not be getting any reply from him. I guess that would keep my sanity going for the field camp period hahaha!

Besides my own tactic in making sure that I am still sane, the sweet pea took out time to write a book for me. 6 chapters, one for each day. :')

For an undisciplined person like me, I swear it's damn bloody tough to keep myself from flipping the pages and reading the entire book. It's like... curiosity + desperate moment + excitement all together. But so far, I'm proud to say I'm doing a good job. I've yet to spoil his plan. Hahahahaha!  3 chapters down! 3 more to go!!! :)

Today being the 3rd day happens to be the notoriously known shell scrape day. Don't know how the fat boy is doing, but hope he's doing well! :) I guess he would have read my letter by now. Not boasting, but I think my letter is  the prettiest among all the letters that the recruits have okay!! It's like I deserve getting a Distinction for effort please. Even the paper for the letter was specially chosen. Hahahahahahaha no freaking joke. The paper is jungle-themed with monkey, elephant and I forgot. It's like mitchymatchy?! I even pasted flower stickers, hoping there would be pretty flowers in the real jungle to brighten things up. #wishfulthinking

Oh well... 3 more days to. Technically 2.5 days? I supposed he would be able to text me on the last day right? :( Time need to fly fly flyyyy.

This is a little late. Drafted it some time ago but I'm only posting it now. 1.5 months after the trip haha. Here it goes! --

Finally got some time to touch on the Bangkok trip! Honestly I'm too lazy, but the thought of reading this years later kinda motivates me! Haha.

Anyway, so here it goes! Despite people telling me countless negative feedback about Bangkok in the recent months, I was still damn tempted to go BKK because I simply love the shopping and food there! My boss said anyone who goes to Bangkok will turn into a bird. Cos all you say is cheapcheap. Well, that was true. Probably a year or two ago. But everything seem to be changing in the recent months! :(

But then again... How can a girl ever say no to Bangkok right?

So uhhh... After some whining (and idk...?), Jem agreed to bring me to Bangkok! Hehe. Love you! Even though you suck cos I can't understand how you can actually not think of buying a data card in PH. -_-

After some discussion, we decided to book the flight to Bangkok via Jetstar on the 28th June, which happened to be my last day of work. So I had the freedom to do anything! Jetstar wasn't the cheapest among the budget airlines, but I would say it was the most valuable, taking the flight timing into consideration.

Booked hotel on the 29th.

FLEW ON 30TH.
YOU TELL ME HOW YOLO WE WERE.

Everything was soooo last minute. So I didn't even bother to tell people I was flying. Even Shiyao found out I was in Bkk through Instagram. And not even my mum. Oh well!

Took the earliest flight available to the Land of Smiles Scammers because we wanted to make full use of the Sunday. SUNDAYYY. Chatuchak yo!


Hehe morning faces.



And then it was CHATUCHAK. Hehehe.

Okay lah, to be honest I was quite disappointed. My loot from there was just pair of flats at 250 baht after bargaining. My friend bought the exact same pair at 200 baht. :( And then... I just had nothing to get from there. I was interested to get some accessories. But I was quoted 180 baht for a pair of earrings and 250 baht for a bracelet. They didn't lie about Bangkok shopping getting more pricey. :(

Badluckbee went to Chatuchak and it rained. When I was there 1.5 years back, it was raining too. Arghhhh.

To sum up my disappointment: It was freaking warm (as usual), hardly anything caught my eye, and I didn't get to buy my coconut ice-cream!!! :(

Totally gave up on that place, and we attempted to proceed to Union Mall.

Here's a snapshot of bimbo Jem blowing his armpits. Heh.



And yes... The foodcourt serves really good local food.

I would order the mango sticky rice w/o fail. Hehehe. This portion for only 120 baht!! In SG, the mangoes served are pathetic.


And my legendary favourite 75 baht pad thai which Jem enjoyed too!! Hehehe.


On the second day, we decided to be adventurous by walking to Platinum Mall, which technically isn't too far away from our hotel, if the traffic facilities were much better. (i.e. traffic lights) On the way there, we met this really nice (or dubious?) lady that stopped us, and asked where we were going. She suggested that we were really lucky because it happened to be Lucky Buddha Day. Apparently, I just googled, and Lucky Buddha Temple is FAKE. So... If anyone stops you, hahaha, you know what to do.

But anyway, we paid 40 baht for a tuktuk ride to the temple and back to hotel. Supposed to be Platinum but I left my phone in the hotel room. :( Almost died from panic cos I thought I had lost it.

Upon reaching 'Lucky Buddha Temple', we were told to go in and look around and pray. But me being me, I'm not a believer and neither is Jem, so we just looked around since we were already there.



Food tip! Platinum Mall basement has really really cheap and good crepes!! There are cold and hot (crispy) which come in sweet and savoury! After having all the cheap crepes, Jem said he's never gonna pay for the crepes in Singapore. Tsk. :( The crepes were only 60-75 baht? Cheap thrills.


Platinum's foodcourt is pretty good too! So if you wanna find cheap food, you can go there too! They sell favourite quail egg too! It's nothing special. I just like it. Hahaha.


Combed the entire Platinum Mall. And... truth to be told, the stuff there are really getting more expensive. Out of the entire trip, only 2 of my items cost 100 baht. On average, my items cost 250 baht. Highest was 350 baht for a jumpsuit. So don't expect getting really cheap stuff from Platinum anymore.

Poor Jem was tired after walking Platinum 1 with me. Hehe.



Combed Platinum 2, and ya, disappointed once again. But oh well! Managed to catch a glimpse of the rainbow in Red Mango!


Centralworld usually comes together with Platinum Mall in my itinerary cos they are kind of side-by-side. But if you don't mind spending more then perhaps you can go shop in CW as well. The mall is fugging huge. I honestly thought it's a new mall, until Jem told me it's an old mall which they rebuilt due to arson damage, and many people were killed inside. :/

A big mall comes with a wide variety of food. So we were spoilt for choices. Had Sizzler for dinner cos of the salad bar.

I'm a true blue veggie monster.






Yea... So my loots of the day from Platinum were just these:
 Not fabulous at all! But oh well, I still enjoyed myself at Platinum hahaha! It's the main reason why I wouldn't mind going back BKK.

I'm not too sure if I will be diligent enough to continue posting on Bangkok. But obviously, there were not all. Day 3 to 5 were packed with many many activities too! Hehe.

Thank you Jemmyboy for agreeing to go to Bangkok with me!! Especially when it was so impromptu. Hopefully this year would not be the last Bangkok trip. Even though I spent like a quarter of the time complaining but... I still love Bangkok. Hee.
