Thailand Trip

Taken at Singapore Changi Airport

The group that I went with... they are really fun...


It was my first time going oversea with a group of friends and my first time taking air plane. The feeling was nice, especially when the plane departed and landed.

Purpose for writing this blog is to share the places to go.. let mi write them short and sweet in point form.

Bankok



  • Cha Tu Chang- only open on weekends 7am to 7pm. It's the best place to shop, must not miss this place the next time i go. It is a very big flea market, a very nice to shop place. Most of the stalls sell their thing at very reasonable price.

  • Morning flea market- it's near Eastin hotel, think travel by cab for less than 15mins. Forgot the name of the market. Quite a number of things to see and buy.

  • DreamWorld- It's like disneyland! Had a wonderful time down there. Esp playing Go Kart. And the Pirate ship made my face turn greenish pale. LoL...





  • Chinatown- a fantastic place for eating. If you want to buy their "tu can", local specialilties, go to this place "LIN ZHEN XIANG", serve good customer service.






  • Red Light District- Personally i dun like to buy things over there, because i'm not good at bargain. If u ever go down there, must slash the price daringly. As they sold twice or thrice the actual selling price. Lot of Lady Boys, "Ar Gua", most of them are prettier than real girls. Definitely an eye opener to me.


Pattaya

  • Coral Island- Very nice place to play and have fun. But also spend the most down there. At around 1000Baht per person, according to the number of games you played lor. Beware of cheater down there, sometime they would attract you to play their sport by saying it's price without saying baht, after you played then they tell you to pay Sing dollar. Eg.: the sprot cost 100(make you assume it's 100 Baht), after you played they say 100 Sing dollar.

  • Pattaya Nite- Sorry, forgot the place again, it is something like China Black, with lot of tourists and youngsters. However, pattaya is better, they had arranged programmes where performers will sing. You still can enjoy your self without even have to dance or drink.

My conclusion

Always must be careful with our belongings. Over there is unlike Singapore, quite messy. Like I mentioned, really an eye opener for me. Their lifestyle seem to be easy and relax: their cab price are very cheap even when go by meter(ard 1 hour only 70Baht); to travel between places sometime could take up to 1 hour plus; to negotiate price, sometime must show face(like unhappy face) and make the other party feel threatened like(if you dun give me at that price, i will find other seller), politeness will not be presence most of the time.

Most of them are doing their own business, be it Big or Small. Big can be a company and small can be walking around to sell flower along the road. They seized every business opportunity. Some of them really impresses me however some of them really make me puke with their undesired way for doing business. Anyway, that's their way of life.

hot water..



well... wondering wat hot water mean... it means critical period, eg. examination, presentation, competition....

there r 3 kind of items which can describe some ppl when they met hot water. They are...

so which one r u?
what would happen when all of them are being boiled into the hot water?
the liquid egg will become hard,
Stand for those who were normally very soft and "fragile" become very strong.
the hard carrot will become soft,
Stand for those who were normally very strong and powerful in certain area, become scared and no confident.
and the coffee bean will produce out fragrance..
Mmm... Smell great
An ugly bean passing out fragrance. Stand for those who are normally not very good can produce good spread and influence during hot period.
Almost everyone will change when comes to tense, hot and tight period and then become different.

man vs woman

Currently reading Man r from Mars and Woman r from Venus. Learnt to understand the different thinking which man and woman has.
Martians must learn that:
woman relieve stress by expressing themselves not finding solution. So learn to listen, no need to give solutions. Try to understand them and let them feel that they r being cherished, like hug them and kiss them. They would appreciate it very much.
Another thing for men to learn, all women are like waves. Bear in mind. They are very loving and nice when the waves go up. However, waves will always go down. When it goes down, women are juz like falling into a dark well. Before she could goes up, she have to reach the bottom of the well first. At this stage, when wome feels insecure or unsupported, their well will deepen. Therefore, it is important for men to support and love their woman. Men can help them by lending their listening ear, sometime they may feel even worse, but it will assist them to reach the bottom faster. Then finally come up again. But that doesn't mean their problem is solve.
Alot of men often mistakenly thought that their problem was solved, that's y they felt better. But many time, men got frustrated over this waves, they thought that he had already reassured her, but the history still repeat. Well.. i read till this point, will update it further. =>
Venusian must learn that:
man relieve stress is unlike woman. They wun feel better like us when they speak up. They feel better when they have solved their problems. If their problems cannot be solved, they will do other things to forget it.
Do not offer solution or advice to them, unless they asked for it. Else juz keep quiet. if not he will feel that u do not trust them. Simple thing like "you should call Jim, he would know how to go." will offend him..

My very own Story…

Think my friend will be surprised seeing me writing this post, for i'm being so cheerful and carefree, how could i have problems. Ha HA... I had wanted to write this post a lot of times, but I turned up to delete when It was halfway done. As I did not know how to bring out the main idea of this post, until today.
There's a story behind everyone and Every story has a purpose and meanings, and I will be sharing my very own story and hope everyone could benefit from it.
Have you ever encountered that you do not dare to tell your parent about the payment of the exam fees? And when you finally bring up the courage to ask for it but your parents can’t bring for your O-Level exam fees and it is due the very following day? That was what my sister had experienced, and I know that it was really tough for her. I did too encounter similar cases, for me are my examination and transportation fees. I know that it was very tough for them too. They would get very upset for being unable to bring out the money. I know, especially my Dad.

My Father

My most important person in my life is not anyone else. Ranking the first place in my heart is my father. My dad used to own a very small business in Primary school bookshop, his income was quite stable and he had a very good saving habit. Now, my dad is a cleaner. He is becoming skinnier and darker. For each day when he came back from work, I would feel upset for unable to assist him. Which parents doesn’t love their children. How did I know they love me? It’s because I went through the toughest peak before this point of my life. A lot of my friend who know me for quite sometime would know, as they were once pestered by me. Because of my financial situation, the more I got aggressive when I was work in DW. Will explain what it means in the later part, for now just treat it like a Multi-Level-Marketing company where one salesman earns through commission and position.
A lot of things happened eventually and even my family was greatly affected. Knowing that he had savings, I did go to approached him to hit my sales quota. That time I was thinking of promotion, as when I got promoted my commission would be higher. Then I could take care of my family. Now thought back, I was being so naïve. I persuaded and cry in front of my father. After a hard persuasion, he finally bought a pillow which cost $300. I know that he’s heart really was aching. It’s not the end yet.
I again persuaded him to purchase a bigger item, cost $2000. This time, I pushed my sales until he cried that he really would support me if he used to be like before owing a business. I gave up after that, but I’m a light minded person. I easily believed others words. My manager still kept persuading me to close this sale with my father. He likes to use this phrase, “If you want certain things very strongly, you will go and get it no matter what you would do.” Today I find this phrase is seriously wrong.
I understand that my dad would not purchase from me when I was on my way home for the sales. At the end, I manage to come out with a solution, remembering what the manager told me. I lied to my dad that I need to borrow $2000 from him to return to Nicholas, my boyfriend, if not he would break up with me. It was half of my lies are true, more stories in it, which I do not wish to share. My dad, eventually, borrowed me the cash.
If I did not go through this incident, I wouldn’t have known that my dad cares so much about me. No matter what I’m going through, he would support me if he has the ability. I had heard a lot of complaints about their family don’t love them.
But my point of thought is probably they have not yet gone through the difficult time and therefore don’t feel the love. Especially, those who are financially stable. They don’t need to intentionally find money, even if they did; they did it to satisfy their own want. They don’t feel sympathies for their parents, because earning money looks so easy to them. They don’t feel that their parents is helping and supporting them, because that is what they are supposed to do. Or maybe they really have a bad parent.
I did blamed my dad, since can’t afford to raise us up, why have so many children? But I sort it out eventually, he loses the shop is not under his expectation and probably have some other reasons which I had not found out. Anyway doesn’t matter, I hope that my story about my father did not bore you up.
I just want to share that most parent loves their children. And for realizing parents love, depends on situation occurred in your life for the realization. For me, family’s situation and children’s home education is important too. As long as children feel the difficulty in getting what they want or need, they will treasure it more. Sound logical? I have more stories to share… will update again.

My Boyfriend
He is another guy in my life, ranked immediately after my Father. HaHa... He is great! No matter what i do, he would also support me.
I managed to survived through because of him, but sometimes i'm overly dependance on him financially, wait a minute... dun get the wrong idea... i realise that he's good is not becuz of his money; Can see that he dun bear to see his savings decreases, he did look depressed. But he was still very willingly to help me despite of his depression. Isn't he great?
Same thing like my dad, in supported me when i was in DW. But after several purchase, he realise that this isn't right. I did an utterly Big Mistake, we almost broke off. I had upset him alot. But at last, he only refused to tok to mi, cold war, for 2 days. That was the 1st time and think that was the only time he did that. If any other guy were to be in his shoe, surely not 2 days only. Probably at least 2 weeks.
To me, he is a No. 1 boyfriend. Ha Ha... ok ok, i admit, i'm bias. Actually, everyone have their best guys, in each women's eyes, their guy should be the best among the rest of the guys she knows, despite of we(men and women) speak different languages. But anyway, it's still the best to read self improving book, like wat i had recommended in the blog. It surely will bring great benefits and enhances your relationship. No matter man or women should spend sometime understanding each other be reading or search for some other resources which u think is the best way. Hope everyone's story will have Happy Endings.
Any comments about this topic or improvements in my writing are very welcome.

My Brothers
Their story should be more interesting. Their life is abit different from my sis and I. They like to enjoy life, esp @ night. They are like owls, go out at nite and hopefully will come back in the morning. Because some times, they would end up in the Police station.

One of my younger brother, was caught rioting for 2 cases. Now ended up in Changi retention Center(inside changi prison, take it as small changi prison for teenagers). He have to be locked up for 2 years and probation for a year after that.

Life for him was miserable inside, nothing to do. Cannot go back home; sleep on the mat; no fan; cell with only small window. Only can talk to friends, but friends inside are weird. Some anyhow scold people.. haha...

to be continue...

Different People

Remember in my post i mentioned before that Bad ppl will always have bAd frenz around. Now, i dun feel that it's true anymore. Think i thick skin abit, i feel that i had been treating fren truthful and trusts. But yet i hav frenz who are liars ard me. Felt quite scary and terrified. sianz...
I did wanted to confront them, but my fren stopped me, she's my personal councellor :) She taught me tat different people have different character. Even if i confronted them, they wun feel a thing. This is juz a lesson to be learn.
I had also realize tat frenz have to be grouped into different levels. Juz like a pyramid.
Pictures can't be loaded.... Sianz... nvm..
