my soliditary days

Came back from Bangkok trip alone on 28th. The 2 days trip is good....shopping spree for my home stuff. Feel a bit lonely at first since parted with my bf in Bangkok airport. Wondering how weird life is as jx moments ago I am chatting happily with two of the dearest male figure in my life (brother&bf) while having lunch inside the terminal of a foreign land and now I am all alone lining up to check in my luggage. The lunch is kinda fun, in 4th floor there is on cafe in which you buy their card with baht 500 or 1000, then swipe your card to get the food u wanted from their bazaar type layout. Yum Yum...I got beef steak with vege and it only cost me Baht200, but their beverage kinda expensive ....baht120 for a canned juice (made in Thailand k, not imported 1). I try their kiwi juice...not recommended. JAL's skytime juice still the best, if I remember correctly should have kiwi as ingredient...arggh...can't recall, am i getting old?? One weird incident while lining up, I bend down to remove the past sticker tag and it still stuck. The passenger lining before me offer to help, and well...don't laugh...at this point most ppl will think is a handsome guy ya...coming to rescue poor me...but he is a kind old man. It's a embarrasing as I am supposed to be the one helping him, well.....he remind me of my grandpa, I means his gesture, his kindness, the one who don't speak much but quietly observing to help anyone anywhere. Miss him terribly.

Queue inside after boarding is not bad...smooth, not superlong like what my bf keep reminding me. Gotto kick him when I see him this coming Sat for bluffing me. As I walk and walk...the whole scenario remind me of the me 7-8 years back, travelling alone every summer break, cross seas, zone and worrying about jetlag. The me seeing the world, being in one part of the world every few months. How I miss this feeling, and I don't feel alone again, more like the little child looking at the big big world, seeing everything as if its the first time, and it feel good. Have I really pass 8 years of my life just like that....thinking back.....how come it seems like just yesterday..sigh. Ok, the rest of the flight jx normal....until i reached home. LCCT charge like RM52 to Klang Valley area and LCCT shop don't let me buy any liquor as they claimed I jx stay in bangkok less than 3 days or jx 3 days....blablabla....thought can have malibu later. But the cashier apologised...haha...well he is polite I guess...and he shouldn't have as the rules is not set by him.

For this past 2 days at home alone, life is ok.....just work, doing chores, doing some craft thing for my dear home....and of course watch some movies....we got like super cheap dvd from Bangkok shop....it range from baht9.90 for older movie to baht49.90 for 28days+weeks later set. Don't be fooled by malaysia store RM9.90 stuff as mostly is very poor quality. Don't know why, if you compared the record made in malaysia vs. record made in thailand, there will be a big difference in effect. We bought like 18pieces of dvd, but too bad could not get VAT return as that store did not give me the required form. Also did some mosaic thingy on Ikea frame....look cool...can't wait to put it up.


Reminder: Don't go Unico Leela Hotel, don't buy thing from patpong night market unless u know how much to slash...check out Chatuchak first. Patpong got good and cheap massage: Baht20 for leg/ thai massage 1 hr, Baht 40 for swedish/oil massage. Check our paragon dept store, got tons of cool stuff for home &craft.
