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.
