Shopping!!

I am back from Thailand! Land of smiles and a thousand DISCOUNTS!

I went with a 1/4 filled luggage bag and returned home with 1 luggage + 1 huge gym bag packed to the brim! Superb fun and simply broke - think you guys should be able to find me at the grass patch around Tanjong Pagar area till the end of this month.

My only complaint though is - no sleep! Bangkok is definitely not the place if you are looking for somewhere to recharge yourself. We (Lily, Ian and me!) were sleeping late every single day and waking up darn early just so that we could shop. We were just that close to becoming shopa-lunatics but then again lookin at the things we got! It was worth every single effort. hahaha.

Bangkok is a Ladies haven as we all know, so poor Ian Loo Loo has nothing much to shop for other than just T-shirts. Luckily, he was a great sport and followed us up and down the HUGE Platinum shopping centre shopping for stuff which is mostly ours.
And best part of it - he was suffering a flu then. Really amazing he survived. haha. Thanks Mr Loot Lee Yen.. :P

Enuff of my ravings. I shall again let the pictures do the talking.

Wonders of mother nature...
Back... from Gua Musang... My first climbing trip ever.. Had loads of fun with de walls, the pple and de mosquitos.. It was my first time on a train too, we took the sleeping berths, its not as bad i thot it was, the train has air-con and is pretty clean and neat with de exceptions of a few roaches scamppering around.
Made new acquaintances too, with people like Alvin, Beverly, Chao yi, Derrick, Jason, Junyuan and Siu Foon. All members of the expedition, all very nice and friendly people..

Day 1 Tuesday
After 12 hours on the train.. we finally arrived.. Took a cab to the rock site and was stranded outside de place for an hour coz the security guard was nowhere to be found..and despite the little sleep we had on the train we went to rock climb immediately after settling down. The rocks formations impressed me totally, its amazing how the rocks are formed to allow good grip and great footholds for one to step on.. We climbed till late afternoon and in all i manage to climb 4 routes? I tink? Once back at the chalet, we started cookin a feast consisting of 10 packs of instant noodle. Meanwhile at the other room...they were having eggs with pasta sauce and macroni with pasta sauce..
Cheng Tng was served as desert.. it tasted great except for the uncooked sago seeds which was later used as a punishment for our games.. For our night activities we played games like Bridge, indian poker, bluff, dai dee and asshole dai dee. After the games it was lights out for Alvin, Jason, Siu foon and me, while it was more bridge for Beverly, Chao yi, Derrick and Junyuan.

Day 2 Wednesday
Woke up ard 12 in de afternoon.. where we had to make a decision btw climbing more and slackin ard the chalet.. Even though i was aching pretty badly from de previous day climb.. i was eager to climb again becoz i dunno when i'll be doin this again..
Our lunch was sunflower seeds and melted 'Crunch' chocolate over game after game of bridge.. Climbin ended ard 4 after which half of de group rushed of to the train station to buy tickets home while the other half stayed at de chalet to wait for a person to collect payment? hmm..
The ticketin station was closed when we got there and wld be open only at 9pm later that day... left with not much choice we walked towards de town area and had late lunch and spent the rest of our waiting time exploiting the KFC(one and only fastfood), with just 3 drinks and a box of nuggets we left our bags there and went to explore around the town.. heehee evil pple we are...

Finally... after 5 long hours of waiting.. we finally boarded the train where more bridge was played till it was bedtime...

Day 3 Thursday
Finally home.. left with just an sms informing my dad that i'll be away... so better get my ass home fast.. I had fun.. thanks to all of them.. =D

Back from Bintan! It was really great and it could have been better if the weather was sunny. Didn't manage to get the tan that i so wanted but it was still fun hanging out with Jon and the rest of his gang. Everything there is just so nice and laid back, i totally forgot about the word 'TIME'. Wished i had stayed there longer. I haven't felt so relaxed for a long long time since my major quarrel.

Learnin Trip
Other than having fun in Bintan, i learnt abit bout Bridge rules too, though i'm not exactly sure how does it work or how do u actually go about playin that game and why the hell do u need to bid?
