this is so going to be a very very long post since i didn't post anything over the weekend, including friday that is. anyway, friday was a long frustating day. did transformation the whole day and the supervisor was pissing me off. too naggy for my ears. and the complicated protocol she developed, which was suppose to be super easy to understand, had me almost shouted at everything. but i tried my best to keep my cool.

i finished work at 5pm, waited for the two boys til 8pm only to know that daniaal just loaded his gel to run for 2 hours at least. having 200baht in my wallet, i've decided to wait for them somewhere else instead of going back to my dorm.

so i went dinner at soi petchaburi 7, a shop named ali selatan. had nasi pattaya.

everything costed me 100baht.

my jaws literally opened when the lady spoke to me in malay. all these while, i thought everyone in bangkok thinks i am a thai.

after which i walked to siam square, about 2km from the shop. but it was nothing to me. on the way there i found a guitar shop. everything in the shop looks very very very delicious.

and kept walking around siam square and MBK. at 10pm, they were still not done. so our plan of playing pool at nana was still in the air. i then decided to go to nana first at 10pm. took the BTS, talked to couple of americans. after almost 2 hours of wondering, they were still in the lab. that made 7 hours of waiting. and it was pouring heavily. so i decided to back out after too tired of waiting. and went back to the dorm, slept while watching the da vinci code through my lappy.

SATURDAY!

woke up at 1.30pm since i told daniaal to meet me at Ratchatewi BTS at 2pm, to meet up with MY PARENTS! apparently, they woke up at 1.50pm. so, i went first. my parents reached baiyoke sky at around 3pm. was elated when i saw them from through the tinted windows of their van.

we checked in,

and the first thing i did was to sertu with the soap my parents brought from singapore, thanks to her for knowledging me with the existence of this thing for not i could've done the old way.

and took a tuktuk to 'gems jewellery', the same one we went 3 years ago. and i shocked to find out that its just opposite the street of my apartment! spent almost 2 hours and 15,000 baht on thai silk and a ring, for my mother. it was 530pm then, decided to go to MBK instead of chatuchak since it's late for the weekend market. prior to that, we went dinner at MAK YAH restaurant, near soi petchaburi 7.

the two most important people in my life.and definitely not the last.

it was pouring heavily as we finished our meal. then we met up with daniaal and alden at MBK. after the walk we took a cab (all 6 in one cab) back to baiyoke sky. it was funny when the taxi driver talked to us about many of the littlest things. he asked my father whether all 4 (daniaal, alden, my bro and myself) of us are his children, and my father said yes. he immediately took my fathers arm and said, "you strong!".

=_=' (learned this from alden)

then we went up to the tallest building in bangkok. when to the revolving deck, but it wasn't revolving due to the rain. the wind there was awesome! like as if you are on a 120km/h motorbike. maybe lesser. but it was awesome, the wind, the spectacular view of bangkok, and everything else.

after which, we went to the room and divided some food 'stock', and proceed to our respective dorms. my parents, my brother and myself went to my dorm to keep the stuffs. too many to mention.

then we went to pratunam market, just in front of the hotel. slept at 3am, after the horrible disturbance of my brother snoring.

SUNDAY!

woke up, had a quick morning shower and went to breakfast at baiyoke sky's 83rd storey.

the weather was fine.5 minutes later, the weather was not. it was pouring like mad, again.

it didn't occur to me it would rain at 9 in the morning. and our plans to go to chatuchak stalled. so we ate slowly, in agony, as there wasn't many halal things. so the rain stopped at 10 plus and we had the long walk to the BTS station and to chatuchak. my mother spent alot of things, met with daniaal and alden there. alden was openly mocked by my father over alot of things. poor boy. after so many times mocked by me, now, my father. you look too vulnerable lah aldennn.

after so many hours, we went for lunch at HAYATI restaurant, was too hungry to even think of taking a picture. but it was the same restaurant we went 3 years ago. apparently, JUST OPPOSITE OF ALI SELATAN. the tom yum was super nice, despite its spicyness. the price is also way way way cheaper then MAK YAH's.

we then parted with daniaal and alden, proceed to the hotel, put our stuffs and continued shopping at pratunam and indra regent. had my second dosage of DAIRY QUEEN! of the week.

its becoming an alter addiction.

after that, we cleaned ourselves, rested a bit in the hotel and went down again! this time, for massage. it was awesome, it was like immediate recharged after an hour of thai massage. after that, they continued shopping again!

went back to the hotel, to do some work stuffs, while my mother and brother were still shopping. slept at 1am.

MONDAY!

didn't followed them for breakfast this time, was too tired and have to go to work after lunch. after they finished breakfast, i joined them, for another round of SHOPPING! shop shop shop and then we went back to the hotel and packed. showered and checked-out. as the van reached, we then parted as i took the cab to the dorm and unpacked. then off to work. nothing much today except for more stress. i have to do as much literature review for 2 weeks. i did subculturing and preparing of media. after that, went home quick, it was raining. had nasi goreng kampung with hotdogs and eggs.

this are the main things i bought over the weekend.

there's so much things that happened over the weekend including a ladyboy experience i had and the post is getting a little to long. so, ask me personally if you're interested to know eyy. chiao! too much british movies and english-speaking strangers.

and if your heart stops beating.
