I decided to be good - stay in the room and do laundry. I woke up to an envelope of serenity this morning at 10.30AM Bangkok local time. Gee, 2 nights of staying up late is taking a toll on me. I went out with my colleagues on Friday night and stayed on at Khao San till about 12AM++. Initially, I had second thoughts about joining as I was tired and I am not a drinking person. Later, the little voice in myself said "Come on, it's good time to network with people. You can't be an otaku forever, eh?" So, there I was, strolling along the happening streets with Khao San. By the time I was back in the hotel, my eyes could barely open.
The excitement of having a city tour with Nay awaited me the next morning.
It was very sweet of Nay to brought me around yesterday despite the hot weather! We were practically "well-done" under the extreme heat emit by the mighty sun. We went to temples, pagoda, a boat ride and a visit to a shopping place (Gee, pardon me for my forgetfulness. I could not recall that place. It reminded me of night markets in Taiwan).
It was funny that both Nay and I are afraid of height and we had to climb up the stairs to the pagoda. We looked like little kids, trying to climb up tall places. Well, we were not alone. A number of tourists were uttering the same fear as they moved up =D
After that, I joined her friends for a bowling session at Siam Paragon (Nay's friends were having a farewell gathering for her). It wasn't my night, I suppose. The score was not that impressive. Later, we went to a bar and we stayed on till about more than 1AM. By the time I got to bed, it was about 2AM.
As for the pictures, I shall only upload them when I go back to home sweet home. All right, got to get moving. Having dinner with my colleague in 5 minutes.

An Eventful Day
Work wise and personal wise, it's been a busy busy day. Perhaps that's good news. Things get going and accomplished. On a personal note, I finally made it to the gym and though did not stay for long, I did get my heart pump blood into my blood vessels quicker than usual. It was beating so fast that I thought it would jump off from my throat! LOL.
There's a good news and bad news for me. I am not ready to announce it yet but it did give my mind a little workout for the past couple of days. No, not getting married or any of that sort. That's out of the question, at least for the near future.
Gosh, I am so tired now. I better retire to bed early. There're more things in store for us tomorrow, I believe. Missing home and the people back there. All right, I need to prepare myself for bed. Sleep well, all :)

Mini K-session in Fraser Suite
The wind is brushing against my cheeks as I made my way back from the office to my hotel room. It's the rainy season in Bangkok. The rain cast a lazy spell on me. I just wanted to stay in my room watching the rain droplets running down the glass on the window, chatting with my sister and listening to soothing music.
Before I knew it, a mini karaoke session was inspired. I was singing to the songs in front of my laptop. Gee, not a bad way to spend a rainy evening ;) Haha, how I have mastered the art of self-entertaining. Yeah, babe!
Must have gone out of my mind by now hahaha..Music toxic! =p

Twenty Two Again...
I am listening to my idol's songs - David Tao. Thanks to my dear sis, I am enjoying the videos she recommended from laptop. Something stirred my thoughts today. So, I was grateful to have great songs to distract me a while.
How nice if everyone is twenty two again, eh? With its light and catchy beat, 二十二 makes me feel younger once again. Well, actually I feel that I can relate to this song right now. Oops,...maybe I am a little slow in growing up =p It's about a girl growing up (turning twenty two), having a dream, embracing it and braving through the challenges along the way.
I am yearning for David's concert. Would like to listen to his soothing vocal again. I wonder when will he have his next concert in Malaysia. Till then, I shall have to rely on Youtube! :)

Greetings from Bangkok
I have safely touched down Bangkok at about 12.30PM local time (1.30PM Malaysian Time). Phew, it's my second visit to this shopping paradise. I visit this bustling city about the same time last year. How coincidental. Well, twice because of work ;)
As it was past my usual lunch time, I was starving when I reached the hotel. I am totally impressed with my room! However, there are no tissue boxes in the room! Ok, I better not complain further since the room is great! Photos come later - sorry chaps, I forgotten to bring my data cable.
To begin with, the day didn't start of exactly good. While I was about to take shower, I notice that there's a crack on my luggage. Whoa! I quickly fetched another luggage (my sis's) and transfer my loads into it. Gosh, imagine had I not seen it. It would have cracked open upon arrival and my belongings would be lying around, exposed. What a sight =( So, I count that as a blessing. Secondly, I could not go for a swim due to ahem....aunty's visit.
Lunch was great today, just a little late. Maybe I was hungry *shrug* I have another 45 minutes before hitting the gym with my colleague and then followed by dinner. After that, I would need to read up some stuffs for tomorrow's short presentation. Oh,....I need to iron clothes tonight. How happening.
My sweet sister sent me links of music videos knowing that I am all alone in the room. Thank you! Will check them out tonight :)
All right, back to finish off some things here. Ciao.

Do You Want It or Do You Not?
It's strange that how human's desire can be contradictory at times. At one point, you are longing and dying to have something and yet when you are given that something, you hesitate if you really want that after all.
Perhaps, there wasn't any reason behind the strong desire. It's merely on impulse? Or because everyone is fighting over it, you joined the crowd. It makes you popular to be part of a group, a social circle or an organisation. People look up to you if you have something that everyone perceives as precious. But can you handle what entails the fame and popularity?

As if not enough of Facebook Quiz...
I was reading Renaye's blog when I read about this mindware (this is the first time I heard of that term). Curious, I began answering question after question to find out how well the mindware "knows" me. Well, I must admit, it does know me.....in a way.
Your Brain Usage Profile:
Auditory : 38%
Visual : 61%
Left : 50%
Right : 50%
** Could it be because I was a left hander, I use both side of my brain equally?
You exhibit an even balance between left- and right- hemisphere dominance and a slight preference for visual over auditory processing. With a score this balanced, it is likely that you would have slightly different results each time you complete this self-assessment quiz.
You are a well-rounded person, distinctly individualistic and artistic, an active and multidimensional learner. At the same time, you are logical and disciplined, can operate well within an organization, and are sensitive towards others without losing objectivity. You are organized and goal-directed. Although a "thinking" individual, you "take in" entire situations readily and can act on intuition.
You sometimes tend to vacillate in your learning styles. Learning might take you longer than someone of equal intellect, but you will tend to be more thorough and retain the material longer than those other individuals. You will alternate between logic and impulse. This vacillation will not normally be intentional or deliberate, so you may experience anxiety in situations where you are not certain which aspect of yourself will be called on.
With a slight preference for visual processing, you tend to be encompassing in your perceptions, process along multidimensional paths and be active in your attacking of situations or learning.
Overall, you should feel content with your life and yourself. You are, perhaps, a little too critical of yourself -- and of others -- while maintaining an "openness" which tempers that tendency. Indecisiveness is a problem and your creativity may not be in keeping with your potential. Being a pragmatist, you downplay this aspect of yourself and focus on the more immediate, obvious and the more functional
