Well, see. Told you I'd be blogging more. Just a glimpse of what ya'll missed. Guess which retard came back beginning of this year?

TJ TAN!

And we went to McD and talked and talked and talked alot! And we went out couple of weeks before that to Pyramid.



And look what he got me! Hahaha, sorry i didn't get anything for you at Thailand, dude. My bad.

Day 4, in the Land of Thai.






So again, we woke up real early and headed off to the floating market in Thailand. Which is really far from where we were at, like a 45 minute drive. Its like from here to.... Seremban? So we were at the floating market! A must place for everyone to go if you ever go to Thailand! Oh ya, and that's our tour guide, Mr. Jhun. Dude's totally awesome.






And after a few attempts of failed facebook profile pictures.....


We got thirsty and decided to go for some coconuts! But it was so wasted, we couldn't eat the flesh. They didn't give us a SPOON! What retards.






And not long after, we were at another part of the floating market! It was so awesome, there were sooo many people. Foreigners to be exact. Like everyone was taking pictures of everyone, and all the boats were colliding each other! It kinda reminded me of bumper cars, only on water and we had no seatbelts. :)





Then we got off at this place, also part of the floating market, a place where almost everything's made outta coconut. And the coconut sugar tasted weird, its like drinking diluted sugar solution. However, the candy we bought were fantastic! SO GOOOD! Coconut Candy. Sounds catchy, no?


And after we finished our little tour at the floating market, we took pictures at the jetty and tried to bargain for stuff at the jetty. We found out then that those people totally think we're retards and charges us like twice the price the people at the market near our hotel charges. What total retards.




Then we went to a teak wood/handicraft factory. And mehn do Thai people have skills. Those things are like super intricate and the dude can make one freaking elephant in 2 days! What?!




After that, we went to watch an elephant show! Hahaha, those elephants are super smart! Smarter than my dog, I think. They can even play football and sit leg-crossed. They're awesome. Now who says elephants are stupid?

So we were leaving on the next day, like in the morning. And my kiam siap aunties wouldn't pay for a room, since we were gonna sleep for like a short while only, we had to get to the airport by 4am. They even suggested that we overnighted at the airport. And I was like " Geez, I'd rather pay than to sleep at some airport like a homeless person. Puh-lease, where's your freaking self-esteem?!" And ya, I was pissed. So in the end all 6 of us bunked into 1 freaking room. Still pissed, btw. But then we got to the airport on time and everything was good. Thank God. Like seriously. If it wasn't for God, I think i would have died!

So, THANK YOU, GOD!

Day 3, in the Land of Thai.

So, third day, we were going shopping! Our whole objective of the trip, actually. So at bout 7am, we woke up, had breakfast and off we went to the Chatuchak market! Its like a huge morning market, except that it lasts till late and its HUGE! And if you shop there till noon, you'd die cause its soooo HOT! Plus, those people tendering thier shops told us to watch our bags properly, BEWARE OF PICKPOCKETS!


So, we were shopipng, shopping shopping, then the typical aunties stumbled upon a shop which sold cushions, cushion covers, pillow cases and such. And of course, my sis and i were bored to death, those aunties take forever to choose the colour of the pillow cases they were about to buy. And what did we stumble across? Some super duper extra cute girl who has super duper huge eyes and can speak Thai! Apparently, they were shopping for retarded pillow cases too! She somehow reminds me of a cross between Charan and Harpreet. WEIRD.





And in the market, we walked walked walked, stopping quite a bit to look at fancy stuff or just rest. We had lunch there, and some weird girl served us. Oh ya, and we saw this doggie pen place, which sold all doggie stuff. So we bought some bones and 3 pakects of treats for fritz. Its like so cheap there, JerHighs are sold 3 for RM10. Here, its like RM7 a pack. And the doggies they sell there are sooo CUTE! And cheap, mind you. The husky on top is like RM220 only! But they operated their ears, so they'd point up. Which I thought is so EVIL. Oh, and something happened with the second dog. A conversation actually.

thesaleslady my sis

um, this one how much?
oh, 1300 Baht.
Cheap, is it pure breed?
HUH?
Um, mother father?
OHHHHHH! [pick up another dog of the same kind and knocks them together] This 2, SISTER!!



OMGOSH! It was sooo funny I could have rolled over and died there! What a retard! But anyway, so we ended our little shopiing spree at 4pm, bought a whole load of things and our back were aching. We arrived at the market at 8am and left at 4pm. You do the math. Plus, we didnt even finish looking at everything, that's how big the freaking market is.

Day 2, in the Land of Thai.

A very very delayed post, like I said, I've never found the time to blog. So, I'm gonna blog a whole lot today, so bear with me. Note : Captions and little stories would be featured under the photos. Except the next paragraph, its just the introduction. How very English-essay like.


Okay, so the 2nd day. What did we do during the second day? Oh right, now i remember. So, we kind of booked this canal tour thing in the airport after we arrived. Like after you arrive at the airport, there's this little booth, where they recommend tours for you, whether its to see the place, or to just SHOP all day long. Well, 2nd day, it was a Friday. So, we went on the canal tour, with our tour guide. It wasn't a full day tour, but good enough. Plus, my Godmtoher even bargained at the counter for our tour. Btw, Baht [thai money] is 10% of ours. Agak-agak. So, there were 6 of us, like i told you. So it was supposed to be 1200 Baht for all 6 of us, and somehow, she bargained till it was only 500 Baht for all of us. Malaysian money wise, from RM20 a person, to less than Rm10 each. Amazing how these people would do anything to get a sale going on.



So, the lady there told us that there was going to be another tour guide, picking us up from our hotel, at 630am. Oh, mind you, Thai time is an hour ahead of us. So if its 10am here, its 11am there. Get? So, now we talk in Thai time. We were told that our tour guide would come get us at 630am. So at 6am, we were all ready, hungry for breakfast. The 6 of us walked downstairs to see if there were anything to eat by the road, like how they sell asam laksa in the pasar malams of ss2. And to our surprise, they were seeling porridge! And mehn, was it GOOOOD! And pretty cheap too, 30 Baht per bowl, with egg! I mean, of course you could choose what kind of porridge you want, they have like CHEE CHAP [ everything in a pig i.e intestines, liver, etc.], PEI TAN [century egg], HAM TAN [salted egg] and such. So we ate and we went back to the hotel. The tour guide came, and we were on our way to our super chunted canal tour on our private van! Something like that. We arrived at the canal/river place thing, and we had to wait for our boat. Not a private boat, just some boat. And they just have dogs lying around everywhere, and this particualr fellar was soo cute. Though he looked seemingly dirty and urgh. But nontheless, cute. :)




And yay, our boat arrived. There were like easily 20 people on our boat, but we were all just minding our own business. Thank God the tour guide on the boat spoke English. Broken, but still English. And the driver was going sooooo fast! See, the water's like DUSHH, DUUSSSHH, DUUSSHHH! And it was so cold, all of us we re so dumb to not bring a sweater except Genevieve, cause she's lacking body fat, or something like that. So, the canal was pretty long, we saw alot of "historical places", and it was dead cold.



Oh, and people there are crazy about temples. They have like a million already, and they still build more! I don't get it, to be honest. Whatever. And not to say that building one temple is like RM1, its like thousands! Crazzzzyyy!


So, we were continuing our little canal tour, until the boat stopped at some snake house. Not a snake house, a snake farm. And if you know me, I HATE SNAKES! Amanda and snakes, just don't click! You know what I mean? Hahaha, so we just waited outside the farm and snapped lots of photos. Plus, we met this pair of Malay couple, and mehn were they pure RETARDS. If you must know, ask me personally. They're so DUMB.



So, it was boiling hot, skin scorching under the super HOT sun, when suddenly... A paddler passed by our boat. Everyone else came out from the snake farm already, btw. The paddler uncle was so cute, he's like old and had an umbrella! Like you would never see something like that here in M'sia. Neither would you see it in the States, rynn. :P



Then we went to see some other historical place, and took more pictures too! And mind you, people actually pray to the statue guy. He's some fella who saved Thailand or something like that, so people put jossticks at his "feet". Weird, I know.


So then, we visited a gem factory. Amazingly, we bought something. We bought a silver chain, pure silver. And my mom's friends bought like rings and stuff like that. How very expensive. You don't need to know how much, I can't even remember. And the piggies outside the gem shop were so cute, everyone was like stopping to have a closer look either to see if they were real gold or to snap a photo. In our case, we snapped a photo. Kudos, to us. Which idiot would put a pig made outta real gold on the floor outside a gem shop?! So after our gem shop tour, we went to BOBAE. Its like petaling street, only in Thailand. No pictures were taken there, we were all too busy shopping. Seriously. And the ironic thing is, BOBAE in Hokkien means don't buy. But while we were there we just BAE, BAE, BAE [buy, buy, buy].

After that, we wanted to walk to ChinaTown, which was pretty near the Bobae market, according to our tour guide. He was WRONG! We walked for like 45 minutes and we were no where near ChinaTown. So, we took a tuktuk instead. You know, those half motor half bicycle kind of thing. And just so you know, DO NOT EVER RIDE ON A FREAKING TUK TUK! Its so stupid and expensive. Save the money and ride a cab!

Then after ChinaTown which totally triggered off my sensitive nose, we went back to the hotel to shower and freshen up. After that, we went to the Pratunam market downstairs for some food and off we went to SiamParagon. Its like Pavilion, only in Thailand.





And boy, the toilets are awesome! Not only clean, but super high-tech! The tube thingis are the pipe and the sensor is on the top. Ahh, go there and you'll find out. But i LOVEEE THE TOILETS! After our toilet break, we kinda accidentally split up. But we already said that if we ever split up, we would meet back at the same place where we came in at 930pm. So, the three of us carried on being jakoon and trying on the fancy shoes there.




SiamParagon was already in a very festive mood, Christmas decorations were super KUA CHEONG-ed. There were sooo many people everywhere taking pictures, it was crazy! So we joined in the craziness and snapped photos too!






So, it was already 930pm and we went back to the place where we first came in. The other 3 aunties on the other hand, were not there. So we thought maybe there were too busy looking at things, they forgot the time. So we patiently waited, and I got hungry. I'm always hungry. So we went back into the mall and snagged a PORK BURGER from McDonalds. Something you will never ever get in M'sia. Everything here's restricted by HALAL. The burger was to die for! But after like 15 minutes, they still had not arrived. So, we decided to go in and look for them. And it was then, an unforseen incident happened.

So, the place there was like filled with water features that are as low as the ground. And we were walking really really far, and we still couldn't find them. We saw couple of people wearing the same coloured clothes, but non of them was my Godmother. So we comtinued searching when suddenly, I SAW HERE! I was sooo afraid that we would lose them again, that I just sprang! I ran super fast, my eyes were only fastened at them and not to anything else. And then, DDDUUUUSSSHHH! I ran into a pool of water. And literally, I was running in it! And by the grace of God, my little demo caught the attention of a couple of people and the 3 aunties were one of them. So technically, we found them! And btw, there was a guard guarding the pool thing, and he didn't even say anything to stop me from running right into it. What a retard, such slow reflexes.



So half of me was soaking wet and I was carrying my backpack. Thank God that I was running in the water, so my backpack was unharmed. Note : Everything was in my backpack i.e camera, phone, batteries etc. I mean seriously, God is soo good! Not only did nothing in my backpack get wet, we found the 3 aunties. And according to them, they got lost. Pffft, those aunties have ZERO sense of direction. And who says I have a bad sense of direction? So we went back to the hotel via cab, and the stupid cab had this NO FARTING sign! Like how could someone control their fart?! Hahahaha, it was sooo funny, the cab driver prolly thought we were retarded. Got back to the hotel, showered with the super hot water and KOed straight away.

Hey, sorry that I've been MIA-ing alot lately. I just don't seem to find the time to blog. However, there are loads i would love to blab about. I could evne go all night long. Well, lets begin. Chinese New Year's just around the corner, i could hardly wait. Its the time of year where we gather as a super big gigantic family and have a huge overrated dinner and then laugh, play cards and watch the dumb CNY songs + dance thing on TV. Hahahhaa, boy I can't wait.

Just so you know, I haven't been too well this week and last. I came down with a fever last week and and horrible sore throat which lasts till now. So long! But by the grace of God, I'm much better now, thankyouverymuch. Stil a little bit phlegmish and coughish, but much much better.

I skipped dinner today, and I'm super hungry now. Just to show you a little bit, lemme describe how I'm currently blogging. I'm in my Hollister shirt and some beach shorts, with the study room's fan to number 2. With a cup of instant noodles on my left and the mouse on my right. Yea, just imagine it. A cup of instant noodles for dinner at 318am. Off to it now, I'll be blogging tomorrow. Well, later if you count the morning part.

I won't be MIA so often now, btw. Its the holidays!

Right. I'm so back. And bimbotic. Sorry for being MIA this week, its been pretty stessful with school, homwork, trying to be the teacher's pet [which i already failed cause nobody appreciates my unique LOUD voice], and more homework, and stuff like that. Well, for starters, lemme give you a jist of what's up.

So, in SMK Taman SEA this year, there are 3 pure science classes, 2 subbies and the rest are all artsie-fartsy classes, which I don't know how many. Ask someone else from Tmn SEA if you must know. And i don't think you do. So anyway, cut the crap. I got into the science class, which I actually DID opt for, not like crazy SHIVA, who got the perfect results but opted for subbie and is now on his road to pure, praying hard that LEE LAY CHOO would approve him to 4C, hopefully. There's this new girl in my class, and i can seriously tell you that she's one heck of a CHUN girl. Not looks chun, guys. Character CHUN. I mean, she's so friendly, but honestly, I think she thinks I'm weird. She's a transfer from KJ highschool, and got my class! Too bad, tantzeyi, should have came earlier.

Basically, my class teacher's are fine. Not good, just fine. I'll list em down, just in case you want to know. And oh, I've got an awesome story to tell ya'll, but its a bit complicated, so try to stay on the same page with me, will ya?

NON SPM SUBS.
PE - Pn. Kwang C.S
Civics - Ms. Wee

So, back to the story I wanted to tell. Notice the first teacher that i stated? ModernMath - Pn. Ting. Well, funny thing is, my babysitter's best friend so happens to be Pn.Ting's mother-in-law, meaning her husband's mother. Yea, so she kinda knows my babysitter quite well, and they're so-called tight. Friends, nothing more. So, last September when my babysitter's daughter got married, which she so happenes to be my Godmother, she invited Pn. Ting for the wedding. So, obviously Pn. Ting went, and it was awkward. Real AWKWARD. But thank God that she didn't put us in the same table. And another funny thing is, Pn. Ting's son, knows my cousin. SMALL WORLD, aint it? Hahahaha, I think so.

When Pn. Ting came into my class to teach ModernMath, I don't think she actualy recognised me. Although she kinda half talked to me at the wedding, but I doubt she remembers. Old already, what to do? But I think i caught her staring at me weirdly, or maybe i was just too self-concious.

Whatever it is, I hve tuition to back me up. Argh, lemme tell you, if you think that Form4 is a honeymoon year, GO AND DIE. Form4 is so freaking hard, I seriously think that I would get white hair from it. Crapp, someone call SAM! Oh yea, speaking about hair right, our school is so dumb, everyone with fringe must wear HAIRBANDS. No more bangs, curtain hair, etc. Looks like I'll be nerding till Form5. At least I'll bring the HOTNERD trend back. :)

p/s : you're going back! So fast lah!

Happy New Year!! And clever me, I just realised something. If you've got OOI SAY WEI's msn, his msn address says the same! Hahahaha, its so funny, I don't kinow why he picked that name! So, I've got no plans, for now. So, you better give me a ring ring, cause you'll never know when someone might just do the same.

Okay, so. Yesterday, we were supposed to have countdown at Uncle Mark's place. So, off we went, my family of course. Note : Uncle Mark's lg is our lg, but we never actually attend them. So, we arrived late. And my hopes of having lamb and turkey like a couple of years ago were crushed! Cause all i saw was this mini barbeque pit and a few uncles trying to barbeque some chicken wings, sausages and fish wrapped up in aluminium foil. So here we are, the 4 of us, who have not been attenting our lg for a very very long time. So, it was a bit awkward, migling with new people and stuff, so we ate with the baby, BABY ISABELLE! She's so cute, but after like half an hour, she kinda chocked on a corn chip, and cc juliet was like, NO MORE CHIPS FOR YOU!

But we still continued talking and stuff, I mean with cc juliet, not the baby. She can't talk. So thn, after the food, which was okay and not AWESOME, we went in to play some taboo! And let me tell you, Uncle Michael made it seem like a life and death situation. Note : Ladies vs Men, Husband vs. Wife. And this Uncle Michael and his cheong hei-ness. Told everybody, " Okay, time to play. So children, go away. Mothers, bring your babies away. Wife, bring Isabelle away." Which she didn't, of course. Cause there was no place to put her. So we played Taboo, the score was tied. Yea, and we finished the game and it was only 10 something. And Uncle Michael was like " Cannot play anymore, baby wanna sleep". And he was pointing at him own, Isabelle. But she was still wide awake, sitting on the couch, playing with her pillow. So, the game wrapped up with a tie. How horrible. So, after some desert and ice-cream, we left too, thinking that they wouldn't have a countdown there, since almost everyone was leaving already. So we went home, waited for 12am to go out and watch the fireworks.

At bout 11.58, me, my sis and my mom went to walk to dog, as an excuse to watch the fireworks. So, we strapped my dog in to his semi-loose harness. Off we went, walking. We heard the sounds, but we couldn't see anything. So we walked further, near the main road. And then, BAMM!! We saw the fireworks! So i got excited, and i pulled the dog from the front. Stupid dog didn't want to follow me, he pulled his head backward and BAMMM! He was FREE! He came out of his harness! So the chase began. I was chasing him like crap, ran almost 300 meters. He almost crossed over the mainroad, btw. He was dying, so was I. And then, he saw this patch of green, I don't know what drew him near it. But he was smelling smelling, but still on high alert that I was chasing him. I couldt take it anymore, so i decided to become heroic and I dove after the dog. Yea, i did. And i caught him, of course, but i scrapped myself. My knee was bloody and stuff. And that was how i spent my new year.

So, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
