1:15am 25th MArch 2007, My Room

Finally back in my familiar nest in sg. phew.. a place i noe i am suppose to be happy, .. but.. hmm sigh! ha i am siao~

i miss thailand!! argh


3rd night in BangKok

probably one of the finest, if nt the best night i ever had in thailand. Didnt travel alot really, picked up a colleague from the airport after work, had a simple nice decent tom yam meal juz round the corner of the alley, tried thai traditional massage (and yes, just so happen, showing justirisers on TV making my time there twice as shiok! =P), hang out at Mayfair Bar again right thru the night b4 making a 2 min walk back to hotel. everything seems so simple and routined, exactly the kind of things i wld do if i am stayin in bangkok for good..
Perhaps, its their slower pace that suits and attract me most. Unlike in singapore where everything is abt efficiency and effectiveness, the thais are more humble and receptive to pple ard them.. at least thats wat i observed. I dunch think pple in sg are as receptive as them. sigh...

ha the girls at MayFair Bar was great tat night, they recognised me and asked if i am here for the thai song Pae Jai again.. ha.. they are probably tired of singing that same song 3 nights in a row... heheh, acty come to think of it, i tik i have spent more than $1500 baht on this song "Pae Jai" alone ... been gg MayFair Bar everynight ever since i set foot in thailand.. omg, if i stay there... surely am gg to broke T_T


old man went up the stage to do a 'loud' piece =P

Day 4, last night in Bangkok..

feeling really exahausted, been heading to MayFair Bar for three consecutive nights, the girls are tired singing the same song, i am tired dragging myself to hotel 230am in the morning.. zzz. Had a decent tom yam meal at a v quiet restaurant wif thai colleagues after work. Ratchapol, Nam, Tar and Ron were wif us tonite. There is this one man band playing his guitar and singing in the restaurant. Unexpectedly, Ron (who hardly speak any english at all which is oso y i didnt speak much to him in my 3 days there in office) acty went up and dedicate the song Pae Jai for me~ T_T sob , so gan dong.. in return i called him my, plenn suai means beautiful friend in thai. =) Ron and i didnt speak much but i cld tell he is v sincere.. simple gestures like these touches pple.. smth i know i will nvr see in SG..sigh. Tar is also another fren whom i hoped to have interact more wif. ha i know he is a liverpool supporter, he plays striker in his team.. fresh grad, young and v v v v humble person =) with his limited english, he told me, he wld like to speak more to me, but it is v difficult for him to speak more. i cld tell frm his eyes he really mean it. thank Tar, really appreciate it. =)

Me, Nicole, Sansini, Tar and Nam

Went to Khao San tat night instead, didnt expect to be such a vibrant nite spot, basically its a nite bazzar cum lots of happening place to chill.. there are probably more ang mohs than locals there.. ha nice place to hang out~

cocktail at a road stall

24th MArch Last day in bangkok

Decided to spent the whole dae at chatuchak weekend mart b4 leaving for the airport in the late afternoon. place so big, u can almost find anything u wan over there.. clothes, painting, accessories, puppys, birds, paintings, art pieces, furnitures and so on... ha heavenly sight for nicole. i didnt really shop alot tho, if given a choice i rather spend my time at MayFair BAr =P... spent most of my time there at the art section selling all the art pieces, lifestyle furnitures, music ... before sitting down at this fruit juice store.. juz to find a shade away from the burning afternoon heat. phew.. perfect way to spent the weekend. =)

watermelon plus kiwi smoothie : 65 Baht

Pae Jai.... in Thailand day 2

22nd March 2007 1:30am first night in Bangkok,

Here I am back at Mayfair bar, the three beautiful philipino girls doin their thing again. EngKiat was wif me this time. He was is quiet self as usual, but I cld tell he is enjoying himself =)

First day of work in Thailand wasn’t so bad after all. Gave a presentation in the morning, helped Thailand office solved a client requirement in the afternoon, visited their office of agriculture and economics for an User acceptance test and (thanks to Ruangdate, Tar and ratchapol) happily learned many thai words todae ha.. truly, sincerely fallen in love wif this place oredi. =)

Took a train to Siam Square. One thing am gg to mention abt taking trains in Bangkok, is the weird smell I have to endure thru out the squeezy train ride, ha fortunately wif an average height of 1.65m among the thai girls, my 1.77 frame gave me the perfect position to smell the fragrance of their hair hah =D. Head for Lumphuni, bought some stuff, had a drink at a local bar. Hmm decided against gg to tiger show coz engkiat wasn’t keen. Probably gg to psycho Nicole to go wif me tml T_T

Doin their final piece now.. which probably sums up my 2nd day in Thailand. Another 3 more days to go.. appreciating and luving my job every minute here… finally my hard work for the past 6 mths paid off.. phew
Oh, please check out this thai song “Pae Jai”… according to the singer, it means “lose your heart”..

surely am gg to get my hands on this song from colleagues tomolo =P

the girls at MayFair BAr... girl on the right hand side is the prettiest! =P

Lug (love) Thailand! >_<

First Night in Bangkok

21am March 2007 12:23am, first night in Bangkok,

Stepped my foot on this familiar yet foreign land 4 hours ago, had dinner at a road stall which probably served the best duck hor fan I ever ate my whole life. Night was as usual too early for a young working Singaporean. Call me desperate or bored, unbelievably I fork out 100baht (approx SGD$5) for a mere pathetic 30 mins of wireless connection. Sent an email, chat with 5 frens who all enthusiastically telling me all the places I shld visit in Thailand… thanks guys..really appreciate it =) … Sharon, curry and jan, dunch worry la, eventually I did managed to control myself >_-

Ha for readers out there, the hotel I am living in, simply made up of juz 3 races. The Ang Mohs, The Chinese mostly Sinagporeans and lastly, young, beautiful, sweet and cleavage exposed thai hookers.. really an amazing feat for any healthy full blooded guy to stay in control… *pat myself on the shoulder” =p

Fast before I cld finish even half the bottle of beer, I was cruelly cut off from the rest of the world. Gutted, I decided to take my laptop for a walk ard the area. Juz a short bend ard the corner there are 3 huge massage centres. Took a peep inside one of them, I saw a large room partitioned by a huge glass window stretching from ceiling to the floor. Sitting inside are all the so call massage ladies whr humsup guys like us can make our pick. No surprise the oldest trade in the world simply lives on.

Juz across the street was a hotel much bigger than mine. Probably a 5 star shit. Decided to check out the place. True enuff, the place is posh and furnished.. walking deep into the building smth caught my eye. A poster of a house band, made up of 3 incredibly beautiful singers (one of them is my type! Haha). They are singing all the uncle songs I listens to every night on class 95.. ha exactly the tonic I needed to survive thru the night. Pampered myself a glass of white, here I am finishing this blog in front of this three brightly dressed singers. Wats the name of this bar again?

MayFair Bar. Emrald Hotel... hmm nvr knew travelling alone can be so enchanting..

Surely comin in again tml.

Don't Write Me Off

It's never been easy for me
To find words to go along with a melody
But this time there's actually something on my mind
So please forgive these few brief awkward lines
Since I met you my whole life has changed
It's not just my furniture you've re-arranged
I was living in the past
But somehow you've brought me back
and I haven't felt like this since before Frankie said relaxand
now I know based on my track record
I might not seem like the safest bet
All I'm asking you is Don't write me off just yet

For years I've been telling myself the same old story
That I'm happy to live off my so called former glories
but you've given me a reason
to take another chance
now I need you despite the fact
that you've killed all my plants
and now I knowi've already blown more chances
than anyone should ever get
all I'm asking you is
don't write me off just yet
don't write me off just yet

Wonderful Song...

Bryan
