Gee, time really flies. It had been 2 weeks since i came back from my mini holiday to Thailand with 5 of my friends. This post was a little late, but I could only blame my PC for crashing down on me every so often. So there it is...the photos of my trip!
Seriously, I don't know if 6 different personalities coming together for a holiday is considered a recipe for disaster, but whatever chaos that we churned were positive blunders I guess. As this was my virgin overseas trip with Friends, I can only say that I've learnt a few things about traveling smart with a group of people equally blur as me...lol... First of all, before you decide to split into 2 groups, please arrange it in such a way that each group has a person with an auto-roaming phone. There was an occasion where we went to Jatujak weekend market and we decided to split into 2 groups. The first being WF, Jess & Yuming (who all had auto-roaming phones), and the second being SY, Bird & me (who all do not have auto-roaming phones). Horrors of horrors, when we got there, we can't find each other! In that situation, I felt I was so stupid for agreeing to such a group spilt as it was my 5th time going to Jatujak and i know it is damn big, crowded and difficult to find people! How can it be possible that I let it slip my mind??!! So when we alighted from the cab (the damn taxi-driver of ours, btw, cheated us of an excess 140 baht...damn him!), we could not find the other group. So what did we do? We got into a frenzy and tried to locate a public phone booth, trying to make a call to our lost friends. Then, next blunder of mine...I realised I left my handphone in the hotel room. Great. No contacts, no nothing...& worst still, the phone can't allow calls to auto-roam phones! We had to locate the MRT station to find a proper phone that will allow us to call. Luckily enough, we managed to find one and Bird managed to call Yuming. At the end of it, the 3 of us were so flustered and pissed. & Of course, in almost any trip, overseas or otherwise, there were bound to be disagreements. We had our fair share of sulking and mini-conflicts, but however, we always managed to resolve the issues. Bird had complaints for almost anything man! From the plane to the airport to the transport to the hotel to the shopping to the everything! Haha!!...so now i know that guys can be as naggy, or can I say, more naggy than us gals man. Yuming also ended our trip in a memorable way cos he got stopped during baggage check in our local airport. Turns out he bought metal knuckers and japanese ninja "fei piao", or darts you may call it (you know those resembling the swastikas sign), and these were detected and disallowed. He was brought in by the authorities for questioning but escaped unscathed. I guessed the officers knew he was just a fanatic for martial arts, kung-fu, boxing or whatever because he also happened to have a pair of boxing gloves and muay thai shorts in his luggage. To top his fanatic look off, he had on his power Muay Thai shirt depicting 2 men practising Muay Thai in compromising positions (Super LOL!!! wahahahahaha). How very funny man.
Anyways, I had wanted to post the video on the Tuk Tuk ride we had. It was the ride of our lives...Cos the driver, (I guessed was pissed for us bargaining down the transport fee) was speeding like his life depended on it. We had an extremely bumpy ride and I swear that when we emerged from the Tuk Tuk, we all had a newly rearranged hairstyle. We even superceeded the Tuk Tuk that our 2nd group of friends were on although they left way earlier than us. It was super funny. Then again, youtube is pissing me off...what is wrong with the uploading process man?! Keeps on having failure upload. Arghhh.....!!! I think I will have to post the video next time. Crazy Youtube!
