Was glad to hear that everyone misses me while i was not in singapore! Sorry for not bloggin for such a long time cos i had lots of maths questions to solve but anyway I was so super happy at thailand that the last thing i wanted to do is coming back to singapore. =) Went there with my family, ryan, uncle paul and auntie sylvia. The adults make new friends in thailand, uncle johnny and auntie annie whom were also singaporeans. We 1st met them when we took the same van from airport and staying at the same hotel as them. The adults and couple are so close now that we went to uncle johnny and auntie annie's house for party and play mahjong on the day we came back to singapore itself. We even went to their house for another big feast on the next following day.

Reached the airport at about 5 in the morning. The internet and everythin there suck like hell; slow internet speed and letters on the keyboard had worn off. Dad bought me a bottle of live luxe by jennifer lopez perfume on the airplane. I was attracted by the sweet smell and the design of the bottle. Took some pictures of the sunrise in air too! Who cares if i can't use phone on the airplane.

The hotel we were staying at was quite good as the air conditioner in the room was real strong that i hav to put on two blankets when i was sleeping. All went alright except for there were abundance of mosquitoes. The good thing is the mosquitoes don't bite unlike singapore's, like blood suckers. Although thailand mosquitoes were harmless, we still can't resist the temptation of killing it. Dad bought a very interesting toy to kill it. It has the shape of a racket and the middle part(net), was actually electricity. So all one need to do is to on the power and sweep it across the pest and it would be electrocuted. I did not have peace in every meal cos there were irritating mosquitoes The pavement on the streets has holes and cracks and was extremely uneven. Interesting! This is the way one uses the internet from e internet cafe:

As usual, i forgot bring things despite the umpteen times my parents and ryan kept reminding me; he flooded my inbox becos of this. Ryan and i had a a whale of a time enjoying ourselves Thailand is quite a shopping heaven and most importantly, things are cheap. However we still try to bargain for a better deal although stuff there are already dirt cheap. Not becos we wanted it cheap but its fun to bargain! Ryan bought a lot ear studs. LOL. How much can he put on when he onli hav a pair of ears? Buy so many for what. Not much for the clothes becos the latest fashion there is those kinda victoria style clothings and dress with leggings.

The most interesting part is that i got to gesticulate to the lady who attended to me at the revlon counter departmental store. Bought a revlon liquid foundation and loose powder. Went to another cosmetics shop and bought a liquid eyeliner and automatic one. It only cost a few cents! Nah, those are just throwaway items cos i bought it just to hav a try. Oso bought a hair curling iron at the price of $6.

The manicure, hair salon and massage weren't good at all. The manicure, can tell that they are not professional from the nail polish bottles which were all different brands from each other thus i concluded that they just anyhow buy cos they are not particular about it at all. The manicurist did not buffer, add a base coat and top coat to my nails before and after applyin the nail polish. Somemore they did not paint my nails properly. As for the hair salon, the hair curling irons used was brandless. I thought it supposed to be a professional one for each and every hair salon? Okay, maybe becos i am a brand conscious person. The massage wasn't very good too. Go and have a try and u will know what i mean.

Uncle Paul and Auntie Annie have extremely huge appetite. They can a big meal for once every 2hours until there was once i got real fed up(cos they kept eatin and we got to follow them) Dunno why, have fried rice without fail for every meal. Perhaps its a coincidence. It was quite good cos i never gain weight despite eatin so much. Unlike in singapore, i can easily grow fat after 2 full meals. Can tell from the size of my wrist. I will somehow bloat if i hav eaten too full. Food was real cheap there. Steamboat was only $5 person and could enjoy every food u want. The food they cater were all meat. There were only one or two kinds of vegetables. Another one would be tom yum soup. I like the one at a thai restaurant in Laos.

Ya, talking about Laos, we went on the third day and going there is really a waste of time and money. Can alreadi tell that there's not much on fashion from how the locals dressed. 2 out of 5 people there were caucasians. There were alot of fake gucci, chloe, dior, louis vuitton, chanel bags. Sighs* Wad else can one expect when there were even fake nokia phones at a duty free shop? We oso went to morning market, which alot of silvers were sold there. Mostly silver necklace and bracelets. But of cos, its fake. Uncle johnny said it will turn black upon coming in contact with water. Pictures i took with my brother when we were on our way to Laos:

The night life was interesting. At the night market, there were food like eggs on stick, i mean the eggs with chicks inside, fried maggots, cricket, cockroaches, grasshoppers. You name it, they hav it. I oso had a drawing of myself from a street artist. I just can't sit still and let him draw with ease. I must be his 1st customer who kept laughin while he was drawing. All becos of ryan and my brother, kept makin me laugh. He himself alsolaugh upon seeing me laughing. We chatted while he was drawing the picture of me. The street artist's name is toto. What a cute name. There's also puppies sold there. Must be quite cheap cos i observed that 3 out of 5 of the thais there kept dogs. Talking about dogs, i saw a very CUTE puppy bulldog which u know dogs barked like, u noe. But this particular one is "ho ho ho" It really barked like that. Omg.

Ryan woke me up at 1am and asked me to go pub with him. It wasn't a problem for us to enter a pub cos as u noe, thailand seems to be a lenient country. We even saw a group of people who were obviously a lot younger. The pub we went to have pretty good ambience. He ordered alot of drinks as though they all free. Haha, indeed they were all free becos we were having a game of pool with the owner of the pub and loser has to pay for all drinks. LOL. Ryan seems to be very familar with those pub and clubbing-related stuffs. Wondering how many times did he manage to smuggle himself into pubs and clubs in singapore.

I really miss my days there. Back to singapore so sian. Everytime sees those teachers whom i detests most.
