BKK
I’ve finally gone to Bangkok and back, about ten thousand years after everyone has been there at least once. I didn’t exactly eat a lot, as people would expect of me, but it’s true that I never stopped eating. It was odd though – the types of food typically seen on the streets of Bangkok are quite different from those served in say, Thai Express. Decently yummy, however.Needless to say I also shopped quite a bit. It’s the measure of a city’s shopping options to actually make me shop. But everything there was so cheap! Like, a vest for $5? Come on. I must say, I’m terrible at bargaining though. =(
Anyway, some weird things about the city. Cabs actually cost less (based on per person) than their equivalence of our MRT at night, when there’s no traffic jam. Food items sold by street hawkers are cleaner than they look. They love their bananas – fresh, fried, steamed, and even banana-flavoured vitamin C that tasted like gross cough syrups.
Langkawi in three weeks’ time. I can hardly wait.

Me,me
I love to over-compensate. Two posts in one day after a month-long neglect.I might as well do a lengthy post. Since I’m perpetually in a pensive mood, let’s compare me one year ago with me today. We’ll begin with the frivolous stuff.
I was 1.62m tall and weighed X kg. (They say a woman’s age is a secret, they forgot to mention weight too.)
Today I am still 1.62m, thankfully not at the age when I begin to shrink, and weigh X + 0.4kg. I’m not lying – the time frame is the deceiving one. I am 4kg heavier than I was when I first started work. There you have it, one of the perils of work life!
My hair was long and curly.
My hair still is.
Seems like nothing much has changed so far. You go on in your life making little changes to your eating habits and hairstyle and come back in a full circle after a year. Life moves in strange ways.
I was in a relationship.
I am in a new relationship. Time flies.
I was relieved after my first major project ended.
I am bored after my nth major project ended. I need work. Gosh, such a sucker.
I don’t really blog because my mom made my computer burn.
I get bored of blogging easily. Like now. Running out of things to say. Haha.
To be honest, I think I’ve hardly changed, except that I grew fat (as mentioned), my Chinese is even worse than before, I hardly get insomnias now, and I love seeing my friends even more now that I don’t get to see them so often (I know, I’m horrible)… Not a terribly long list – a lot of things can happen in a year after all. :)
I realize people usually only do this sort of things for New Year, but who cares, here’s to a better year ahead! I will be good.

Losing the desire to blog. Maybe I’ve been brainwashed entirely, so I’ve got no complaints. Maybe I lost my brains actually, that might explain why I can’t string two sentences together. Or maybe I just don’t need this outlet anymore – I do verbal diarrhea.Though, to be honest, I figure I’m just lazy.
Will be off to Bangkok on 21 Nov, and am very much looking forward to the trip. Not just because I’ve never been to Bangkok (yes, gasp!), but also because I need a break badly. After that I’ll be off to Langkawi on 14 Dec – yay, multiple vacations – and hopefully these trips will last me till next June (an unfortunate thing about my work right now).
Small ‘yay!’, for it is Thursday.
