Thailand diary
13 dec:
Setting off to Thailand. Packing of bags is so troublesome. Met jar jar at lot 1 and she helped me pick out shorts that I desperately need for the trip. Then, she gave me my bday prezzie!! Awesome shoes. Shall bring them to Thailand.
14 dec:
Touched down at 12+am. About 2.5 hours flight. Thailand is 1 hour later than Singapore so according to Thailand, I touched down at 11+ pm on the 13th instead. I just gained an extra hour of birthday? Hahaha. I found out that my facial wash has leaked though... Grrrr have to ration it throughout the next few days. Hope it can last!
Woke up from a good sleep since the airplane journey was a pain in the back. IT IS MY BIRTHDAY!! Received loads of wishes from friends thank you all. Too bad I can't reply... :( shall do so when I reached Singapore.
My birthday was spent mostly with animals. I witness people kissing cobras, I saw monkeys dunking bballs and I rode an elephant for an entire hour! I saw a gigantic spider larger than the size of my palm and its web was twice the size of my head. And to be clear, i ain't no small headed person! After that, I visited the long neck tribe and even enjoyed an authentic Thai massage! Awesome... Just hours ago, I went to the night market to get some souvenirs for my dear friends. Can't wait to go again tmr. Bargaining is fun! Auntie even bought a cake to share with uncle(his birthday is tmr). Ok, Need to wake up at 5.30am Thai time tmr, so nights for now!
15 dec:
If there was ever a day to be sleepy, it would be today. Slept really late cause I still had to wait for my hair to dry. Woke up early in the morning as a panda and ate a huge breakfast. It's uncle's birthday today so we were going to eat the cake today.
In the morning we went to the hot spring but it was too hot for me to even dip my feet in for anything more than 5 seconds. But the geyser was awesome! It shot up around 5, 6 stories high? Magnificent.
We had lunch at the Thailand, Laos, Myanmar and China border along the Mekong river. Maybe somewhere my sis is also looking at the same river. We were so near The border, my brother even had China reception! Hahaha And the food is SPICY!! Some of my friends thought that I would learn to eat spicy food after going to Thailand. Well, now I can say with utmost certainty that I rekindled my HATRED for spicy food!! My entire mouth, tongue and lips were on fire by the first bite. And trust me, there ain't a second bite. So lunch was little. I'll just take it as saving space for the cake! :)
Cake was scrumptious! Afterwards, we went to the golden triangle where you can see 3 countries at one single location. I bought more souvenirs cause well I love my friends (and shopping). Went to the Myanmar border where we were literally one gate away from Myanmar. Loads of shops; bought nothing:( but it's ok since we were heading back for dinner then the night market again!
It is a super super long way back and I guess I slept so much throughout the day that I couldn't sleep anymore and the song "insomnia" was playing over and over in my head. Wonder If I would ever get the chance to dance that again... I miss being part of orientations.
I told myself the dinner better be worth all this pain since I was getting nauseous from the long van ride. And it was. It was good, too good and too much for me and my little stomach. The tour guide even gave me a birthday present! He is so nice :) I also managed to witness LADYBOYS! Omg, they are SEXY TTM! They make pretty girls inferior man.
16 dec:
Today's the last full day in Thailand. We went to the temple that required 325 steps to reach. We also went to visit some tribe in the mountains and to see the royal orchid park thing. There were sooooo many orchids- some larger than the palm of my hand; some the size of "."!
Then, we went to the supermarket for the purpose of buying a tube of toothpaste. But we ended up buying other tibits. By we I meant auntie and her family. My family bought nothing. But things went fine until dinner when my stomach starts to hurt like mad... Urgh... On top of that, I was shaking real bad. Agnes does not like pain.
Vomited in the hotel. I swear I just lost 2 kgs today. Yay...
17 dec:
Last day in Chiangmai. I think today I probably experienced the most efficient sightseeing ever! Went to the umbrella factory, jewelry factory, silk factory, bird nest place, the local market and visited the Mandarin oriental hotel. Omg, the hotel, could charge 4K sing dollars per night! It's uber big. They even grow their own vegetables. We bought quite a lot of food and headed to the airport.
Omg again. I just couldn't believe my luck. I saw 2 NJC chemistry teachers sitting on the seats right in front of me on the plane! Aka, sitting beside my papa. Brrr... Scary. Hahas. Can't wait to touch down and see my friends and family. Let me think of the message I should type once I receive reception:
Hey kids, mama's back!! :)
