2star Hotel

Woke up about 8am and went back to the temple & bid farewell to Lung Po Nian. Spent the whole day in the van again, tavelling back to Bangkok. Stupid jam causes us to delay our time making us reach Bangkok @ 9pm. So we checked into a hotel near Ah Yong's house so that it will be easier for him to pick us up tomorrow.

Finally the tv is showing English speaking movie. Haha. Thought of drinking beer but decided not to. Time to cut down on my drinking. That's my resolution for year 2010.

The Shrine

Sleeping in a room full of mosquito

The Toilet & Bathing Tub. EEKS

Our Dinner @ Temple

Naughty Horse Scared Me

Lazy Cows Who Ate Whole Day

Our 2star Chalet

2 Stars Toilet.

Whole of last night was spend on the van, sleeping than waking to toilet. The ride up the hill was 10hrs, we prepare fruits to eat on the way but nobody is interested to take even a bite. Haha. Throughout the only thing that kept Dar & i awake was the auntie's leg aka "Tian Chang Jiao". She kicked my hand & poor Dar Dar's head. Irritating lo. Feel like f*** her lo but see she so poor thing so haiz, forget it.

I realize that the sun of Bangkok rises earlier, by 6am the sky is so bright. Ah Yong stopped @ a road side stall & bought breakfast for us. Fried You Tiao + Hot Coffee. Yummy. As we were happily munching on our breakfase, we notice a monk walking towards us. Steven than took off his shoe kneeled @ the road & donated some food to the monk.

It's said that rain or shine, monks @ Thailand started their walk from early 5am for food donations everyday. It's a respect to the monks to take off the shoe & kneel down before putting food in their bowl. Interesting...

After breakfast we continued with our journey & was about to fall asleep than Ah Yong shouted "Reached!!!!"

Woo Hoo, finally. Ermm the Shrine of Lung Po Nian, wasn't what i expected. Quite run down or should i say it's not completed? Haha...Steven told us that the $$$ we donated are all given to the temple for rebuilding.

We had a quick walk around the Shrine before heading to a small room to rest awhile. Shit, full of mosquito flying around waiting to sting me. How to sleep? Whole body feel so sticky & dirty some more lo, but i guess that i am juz too sleepy to worried about all this. Covered myself with blanket from head to toe, than fall into a deep sleep.

Waking up feeling worse, my whole body smells lor. I wanna bathe... But the min i thought the bathing tub. EEKS.... Full of dead insects & it's yellow in colour lor. How? Clever me than thought of the smartest way, use the tap. Yes! Happily Dar & i make our way to the toilets, took off our clothes (Hey we are using seperate cubicle la, temple leh), turned on the tap. To our disappointment, NO WATER!!!! OMG... So no choice, we had to bathe with the yellow, dirty & cold water... Shit... :@

After dinner, we checked in to our 2stars chalet. The tv was all showing Thai movies again... Sian... There is no entertainment around there too. Boring... In the end, we went to bed early... Nights

"Film" & Me

Dar & "Film"

Woke up @ 4.30am today, super tired but no choice as we need to check in at 6am for our plane to Bangkok today. Hmmm it's our 1st time travelling together with Master Steven & his 2 others members not sure if we are able to click or not. Haha.

We arrived Bangkok @ about 10am waiting for Ah Yong who is Steven's friend, the 1 who is going to drive us around & be our translator for these 5days. He is very nice, friendly & funny. Most importantly he speaks very fluent mandarin.

Ah Yong drove us to ChinaTown for our lunch, Goose Meat... Never try before but i feel that it just taste like duck meat. Haha. After lunch Ah Yong drove us to a shop which sells all kinds of things related to praying as we need to buy offering items for the monks and donate to them. The shop is full of Buddha Statue, Small, Medium, Big, you name it they have it. And all are hand crafted by the crafts man employed by the shop. Amazing. You will never find this kind of shop in Singapore.

After buying what we need, we went to Ah Yong's wife beauty saloon than i know that he have 3 wives & 4 kids. His youngest wife is only 20+ years old and he is about 50+, Lao Hero, Hahahahaha. The best part all his wives stayed under the same roof without any problem. Zai Shi Wei Xiao Bao.

Than we went to his bungalow house as he last min told us that we need to wait for another couple to reach before we set off. So in the end he left us at his house without fearing us tearing down his house to fetch the couple. We tried watching TV but all the stations were showing Thai movies so we tried searching for VCD to watch. Hmmm Jacky Chan seems not bad, all of us laugh like mad when we hear Jacky speaking Thai. Faint. No subtitles also. Arghhh.... So in the end 4 stupid idiots sitting on the sofa watching shows that we cannot understand at all. Haha.

Finally Ah Yong is back with the couple, they are about 50+ yrs old from Melacaa. Few years back they used to be quite well to do untill the wife was controlled by black magic. The husband spent alot of $$$ searching for monks/master to help to lift off the spells but black hearted people never helped instead they cast another spell on her making her gave them $$$ willing. Finally people introduced them to Ah Yong who brought them to visit several high monks than the spell was broken. By than their savings were all used up. This time the husband suspected that the spells were not completly lifted as his wife behaviour changes back after 2yrs of recovering. Hmmmm, hope that she will be ok.

Ah Yong's daughter "Film" is very cute, although i cannot understand what she says but just by listening her voice melts my heart, so sweet. And i think she likes me too, kept followering me everywhere. Haha. Finally it's time to set off for our 10hrs bus ride and "Film" insisted to sit with me till she fall asleep than i pass her back to her mother.

5th July 2009

Leaving for Bangkok tomorrow, can't fall sleep. Worried that i cannot endure the 10hrs of bus ride. Haiz... How am i going to kill the time? 10hrs up the hill & 10hrs down again. OMG. The min i think of it I'll start to regret agreeing to go. Lols but it's just too late now...

4th July 2009

Jayden Watching Dora With Andy's Lap Top

Jayden Happily Playing With His Fav Rabbit.

Was lazing at home until i recieved a call from Auntie Agnes asking me to go down showroom. Brought Jayden together with me, see he so poor thing always stay @ home. But i did not tell Dar Dar that i was going down with Jayden.

So when i reached, he was so shocked. Not because he saw me, it's because he saw Jayden. Slap. So pian xin. Want son don't want mummy. Haha. James wanted to bring Jayden out & buy chocolate for him, at 1st Jayden says ok but the min he helps Jayden to wear shoes, jayden cried. Wanting me to go together, no matter how we tried to convince him that going alone with James will be alright he still refused & cling to me. So in the end Dar & i had to go together with James & Jayden just because of the chocolates. Lols "_"

So happy Dar Dar signed 3 contracts today but poor Jayden waited for his Daddy till he fall asleep. Well i don't think he mind as i believed he had a great time today with James, Andy, Alicia & Agnes.

3rd July 2009

Went to Jurong Point Everlast for our couple jacket & mask to bring along for our Bangkok trip. Than went to Swensen's for our dinner. After dinner Dar sent me home and than he went for his badminton. I waited for Jayden to sleep before going downstairs and buy 2 cans of beer & drink at the void deck. Haha. I always like to drink alone downstairs, to enjoy the quietness & fresh air. The feeling is so good & peaceful.

2nd July 2009

Went to Jurong Point for some clothing today. Wanted to get some sleeveless tee to bring along for my Bangkok trip. Than i pass by John Little, 20% store wide. Oh how can i miss such a offer, haha. Get 2sets of lingerie, nude bra & 2 panties which is suppose to help my tummy looks flatter.

Than i went to nett cotton, the tank top is just super cheap, about $10 per piece. There is 1 thing i must mention, a sales assistant there is really helpful. She was running around the whole shop, in & out of the storeroom, calling to every outlet just to help me to check if there is new piece for the clothing that i choose. And most importantly, her smile never leave her. 5 thumps up for her excellent service...

Than Eric came & pick me up. We went to "ta bao" Crab Noodle, Poh Pia, BBQ Fish, Sambal LaLa, Gong Gong & Kang Kong with cuttle fish for dinner than went to Dar's show room. Tks Agnes auntie for the dinner...
