ok... I know i'm a little late in writing this post, but still... i must talk about my wonderful bangkok trip with my buddies ( The Monsters).
For most of us, our day started with JY's sms at 2am (we've to be at the airport by 4.30am) to ask if we are awake, when most of us are just about to take a short nap. Guess she's just too excited about going on a trip with us. Though we've gone a trip together once, somehow it just felt a little different this time round. Probably because we're taking a plane and travelling further. We were all looking forward to this trip. :)
We had loads of fun in Thailand. I think the main reason for having so much is not because we get to travel. but rather because of the great company, the funny things that we do or say, and the many new memories that were created. Yes, i agree that 3 days is abit short, but the great time we had together throughout these 3 days is good enough to stay in our hearts for a long long time, most probably for the rest of our lives.
Highlights of the trip:
1. Jy and SQ can actually stay awake even after 1am and play pool! By right, they'll knock out at this time especially after walking for the whole day!
2. Belinda Cheng actually finished up a whole plate of thai fried kway teow with lots of bean sprouts and carrots, when she don't even eat a single bean sprout or carrot in Singapore!
3. 6 of us can actually squeeze into a taxi, though i've to sit on JY's lap. :)
4. We almost got con by the tuk tuj drivers. Not once, but twice. But, i finally get to ride on a tuk
tuk. :P
5. The supposedly relaxing and useful foot massage turned out to be a laughing session. But it
was really ticklish!
6. Lugging a bed mattress to Gina's room so that the 6 of us can sleep in one room on the last
night.
7. The fruitful shopping trips and polishing of bargaining skills each day.
8. Sleeping only about 3 hours each day and yet still have the energy to shop for the whole day.
9. The last minute shopping at platinum(a wholesale shopping centre) and we came back with
both our hands filled with shopping bags within 2 hours!
10. The great sign of relief on our faces when our luggages exceeded the limit by 8kg in total and
yet we did not have to pay for the extra weight.
This trip had actually made us get to know each other more in one way or another, and somehow brought us closer. I really enjoyed myself and I must say the 3 days in Bangkok were the happiest days for me in the past 2 months. And, I must really thank Gina and Winnie for letting me and SQ bunk in with them ( because i didn't feel right sleeping in my room) and SQ for being such an understanding room-mate, Jy and Belinda for sacrificing themselves in taking the corner room next to the emergency exit, because they know i didn't like that kind of room. Thanks for comprising and being so understanding! That's really what friends are for!! :)
And i'm really looking forward to the next trip!
