Woo hoo !! just came back from Bangkok a few days ago
and now i am already blogging about it...
well this time the trip was hell lot more Adventurous then my previous trip...
so stay tuned for the cover up of the story...
well here how it goes....
this i went with a bunch of animals from the zoo solely as our team is called the "zoo frenz"
we stayed in the Pratunam area again which is in the Ratchaprasong Shopping District...
that means Shopping, shopping and shopping is the main idea...
Pratunam Area
shopping in Bangkok, visiting Platinum Mall is a MUST of course...
platinum provides the latest Fashion following trends from Korea, Taiwan and Japan with the cheapest price in retail form...
t-shirts priced from 60 baht - 110 baht per piece if bought 3 piece and above
bags as cheaps as 199 baht
Platinum is so fun it has accesories, clothes for both men and women, under garments, shoes, arts and crafts, and many many more...
too make things worse ... Platinum Mall now have a new wing....
3 Cheers for it "hip hip hurray, hip hip hurray, hip hip hurray"
means more choices ...
this time around we decided to be more adventurous as it might be our last trip together as a team before we graduate.
we took the train from Bangkok's Hua Lam Phong station back to Penang's Butterworth station, Malaysia
Hua Lam Phong station
its a 1 day 1 night train ride... its bumpy and crazy...
my 1st time ever i experience such awkwardness as i drank too much cultured milk Betagen so i end with up nature calling in the train...
the train toilet bowl is so disgusting as they dispose your shit right in to the train tracks....
i was so awkward to have shit there !!! when it stops in a station i had to hold my shit back because i was afraid my you know what will be smelly in the railway station...
Going there was by plane reached then we took the public bus...
was very different from Malaysia's as they charge for air condition and non air condition differently... but our budgeted journey has resulted for us to take the non air conditioned bus
May happily taking pictures of Gacky and Boon
Bus ticket
we checked in to Citin Pratunam Hotel this time...
happily posing in front of the hotel
comfortable with better TV station as not every station is in Thai...
got nice bed... cool room service thingy and we a free thuk thuk service out to the main road
but the only thing that i am not very happy with is the shower....
the water keep changing from super hot to icy cold at random...
Thuk thuk ride was fun as we had to cramped 8 people into one thuk thuk...
funny... dangerous... yet adventurous....
super adventurous ride on an over cramped thuk thuk
We went to Bangkok's famous Erawan Shrine...
this Shrine is famous until famous celebrities from around the world travel here to pay homage to Lord Erawan....
its located in the Chitlom area nearby Gaysorn and Central World
Lord Erawan resides here
Central World (after the riot and the bombing or burning, they rebuilt it but it don't as nice as before already but partially of the mall is yet to be rebuilt)
Gaysorn with branded goods inside....
Chatuchak weekend market is not forgotten in this trip...
Chatuchak is filled tonnes of things to shop... anything you can think of can be found here....
getting to chatuchak won't be difficult if you take the BTS and stop at Mo Chit station...
you can see Chatuchak right out from the window of the sky train on the left hand side....
Chatuchak weekend market
BTS Sky train
Tickets to Mo Chit
but this time our visit to Chatuchak was not a very happy trip....
my dear friend Jean Cui got pick-pocketed from stupid low-life damn....
her money, her ID, passport everything and even my other friend Chili's passport which was being guarded by her got stolen by that good for nothing thief....
after the incident we rush to the nearest police department which end up to be a Tourist Police (PS: a tourist police that don't speak English... so does that help the tourist ?)
with my mere shallow Thai they directed us to another station just right outside the market...
but to no avail its close...
so we ask for directions to the nearest Police station... they directed us to anothersmall police station which turns out to be a traffic police monitoring station ...
so they can't do anything so they directed us to the Bang Sue district police station...
but what the hell ?
i ask the police he said it was not far but the truth is the stupid station is freaking far....
its in another freaking district for crying out loud....
our legs almost fell off apart...
Due to the weekends... we have to wait until monday for the Malaysian Embassy to be open...
so we got no time to waste but to continue shopping....
but on the sunday we were "lucky" the red shirt protest started around 5pm Malaysian time...
making a massive havoc in the traffic...
causing the whole road to be congested... malls were forced to shut down forcing us out into the streets... Chili was freaked out she kept saying don't go take pictures hahahaha
i was like a dare devil go in front to take a close look too bad that day i did not bring my DSLR out...
if not the pictures would be in better quality
the start of the protest
by night fall the whole road met a stalemate
but due to the danger that might occur we were force to go back to our hotel....
have to wait until the next day to the embassy...
went to the Malaysian Embassy early in the morning....
but loosing your passport in another country was heck lot of things to do....
need to lodge a report in the local police station...
take passport size pictures, translate your report to english and their language by authorities with valid chop so its certified.... the photocopy it...
then report to the embassy... with all the things needed
then they will interview you....
after that they will ask you to pay then issue u a new temporary passport
the temporary passport issue by the embassy
after that you need to take the passport to the local immigration for the authority to chop certified it then fax it back to the embassy...
but this steps takes times as all the locations are located in north south east west.... far far and faraway from each other...
it took us from 8.30 am until 5 pm to finish everything and travel back to Ratchaprasong District....
The Thai immigration... its so huge and looks something like Putrajaya
but was lucky we did it and finally Jean Cui and Chili has an identity back...
as we were told alot of people sold their passport for money as the fetch a good price in 3rd world countries... so interview is needed....
but due this problem we had extended our stay in Bangkok making it a full 1 week
Siam Square is not forgotten in our shopping trip...
but this time around theres new places in Siam Square....
like a place which sell digital stuffs and a bonanza mall is up, theres another big huge mall, opposite there is MBK, Siam Center, Siam Paragon and Siam Discovery....
that time around Jang Guen Suk is there for a visit which makes May gone mad ! keep wanting to see him live....
Siam Square is having a major renovations 2 major road has been in construction wonder what are they building maybe more malls for shopping hehehe....
Siam BTS station
Day View of Siam Square
night view of Siam Square
during our last few days Bao's debit credit card has problem due to the amount in her account was missing.... but the hotel said they has not charge it...
but after so many misunderstandings they found out that the problem is with debit card can't accepts refund like credit card ...
in order to refund it they need to deposit the money...
so problem solved....
after 7 days of shopping this is what i got
it was really a very adventurous 8 days.....
tears from sadness and guilt.....
joy from shopping, friendship and togetherness.....
lost of passport and money......
found of credit balance back in the card.....
and not forgetting one thing precious gain....
is a memory of our precious friendship together before we leave our university life in our separate ways.... we wont know what the future holds until our path cross once again....
i am really feeling not good at all this few days...
so many things in my mind....
but still sharing is caring .... here is my story

Love or Sex ?
Love ...
what is love ?
well does love has to come with sex ?
in my opinion... love should be just plain love...
sex ? i prefer to called it making love (call me a thing from the past if you like)
to me making love is something you share with someone you really love and care for...
if there is no making love involve is it still called love ?
to me LOVE don't need sex to fuel it, so it could be lasted longer....
if it is true love making love can wait... wait until the relationship between two are strong and stable.
some may say that this thinking only exist fairy tales and movies....
well life is like a movie... love is like a story...
because today there is too much thing that people think about ... afraid of this and that....
scared of what people might think ... fear of the affects it will cause...
if its love then drop everything you think and feel your heart and follow your soul tolove courageously...
Love ?
love means no boundaries.... 2 peoples world merging into one....
no secrets... no hidden agenda... faith only
who is to give ? who is to take ?
do that really matter ?
if love is at account then it don't matter...
if you really love someone.... even unappreciated you will be willingly to offer more....
no matter sadness and tears will emerge but to me thats just the sign to tell us that we are still alive...
well making love and sex this 2 words... whats the difference ?
sex is for fun... u had it... you forget it after tomorrow you wake up another normal day...
making love is a level where you make out filled with happiness and care for each other....
remember in your heart...
i may be living in denial you say but...
to me love needs sacrifice and forgiveness to make it possible
as nobody is perfect in this world...
as ones imperfection combines the others imperfections is what makes the couples perfect....
just like a puzzle piece put together...
ones there is someone who ask me.... "Do you believe in forever ?"
well my answer after so long its still yes....
even its just for a second but the moments spend together is immortalized forever in my heart....
why make love when you can enjoy the feeling of love
Luv,

last day of the year 31-12-2010
today marks the last day for the year.....
so many things come so many things go....
now to think back everything flash through my brain just like a that.....
alot has happen this year....
my mom age so much
she is still the prettiest girl in my heart but seeing her age hurts me....
my sister pops up a question telling me she accepted jesus out of no where !!!
well to be an understanding brother i accepted it as i am in a catholic since elementary...
.
Zoo Friends grew .... from the original 8 members to 14 people...
well we are going to our zoo frenz trip later 6th January (Love them so much)
EJ comes in saying she has lost trust in alot of things and have turn to Christianity for answer
(i am sorry but sometimes the war between the heart and mind is hard to control)
PS: she finally graduated...
house-mate changes as the old ones got a little murky....
well i just take a little poison apple to kill snow white same goes to friendships....
i made it to the finals of ASQ 10 MV Directors
well even though i did not win the competition but it has been a very good experience...
and it has open a lot of doors to me...
i finally met someone... someone i could feel i can sacrifice myself for....
someone i can stay together with, someone i won't mind going the extra mild for, someone that even though i am angry at but will have the urge to forgive and continue loving that someone, someone who can melt my heart with a single smile...
but too bad i am stuck in this oblivion of no turning back.... chasing something that may not belong to me... but still i cant get my mind out of that someone....
heard the father of a close friend pass away in a motor accident....
tells me how life is so precious....
well so many people come into my life and walk away from it.....
i wish nobody ever walks away again from me again in the years to come
my new year resolution for 2011 is simple.....
-i could graduate without any obstacles....
-no more financial obstacles...
-finally been noticed and appreciated...
-to have a wonderful sad free life.....
-all my love ones to be happy and healthy
-the world to be a better place
Love,

the answer to forever
how could i not remember,
of a month called December,
a month filled tears and laughter,
month where my hearts surrender,
to the fate of your smiling splendor,
how could i not remember,
how your lips so tender,
touched mine with such wonder,
felt like i'm on top of a ladder,
all the hardships we endeavor,
how could i not remember,
a month called December,
where you left for another,
my scream and shout would not matter,
as you cannot feel how my heart shatter,
how could i not remember,
how fate set us up together,
when you told me you do not believe in forever,
but i have finally learn from the fore-father,
even for a second if its you it felted like forever,
how could i not remember,
this lovely month of December.
Luv,
~bapy

Ranting !!
what's going on with me recently....
felt so tired ...
emotionally, physically, and mentally !!!
everything is not going my way....
my birthday is coming again....
things are going so wrong.....
i feel so sad....
i am the strong Gino that everyone thought i am....
yes i am ... i kept telling myself....
but i getting tired....
there is so many things i am going through alone....
no one in this competitive world seems trustable .....
its me against the world.....
so many things inside me right now.... but all inside are just sorrow....
you think you know everything but the truth is you don't know anything....
coming out into the world is very tiring.... there is no mommy to run to when your sad.....
there is no one to pad your hair and say everything will be ok....
well its because we grow up....
no one to rely on but ourself.....
sometimes i feel who am i ???
what's my value in everybody's heart....
someone keep telling me i think too much....
yes i think too much...
i am paranoid....
i am chauvinistic....
i am a control freak....
i am lousy idiot who thinks he knows everything.....
i am just hurt.....
hurt hurt hurt....
tears don't even flow anymore....
when until i can really let down my guard......
Luv,
~bapsterbapy
