just got back from bangkok…
…having enjoyed a wonderful holiday. i left for bangkok on saturday morning, arriving there early afternoon. it started with all my colleagues getting onto a bus to head to the hotel. but the tour guide was m.i.a. it’s her first time on the job and she had been left behind at the airport. so we went back to look for her. then we proceeded to the hotel where we met up with other colleagues who have already checked in. the conditions at the hotel were quite poor despite the 3 star rating. spent the rest of the afternoon shopping a little before going for dinner at a restaurant called ‘curries and more’. it was a treat by the bosses. dinner was sumptuous and filling. during dinner, some colleagues decided to shift to another hotel as it was unbearable for them. they did so at a cost of 100sgd per person per night. the rest of us decided it was unnecessary, hence deciding to stay put. after dinner, we went to suan lum night bazaar. was a rather unique local scene of shopping. did not buy anything, but interesting nevertheless. after returning to hotel, we took our showers then played a card game called ‘heart attack’ in a room. was hilarious and enjoyable but quite painful for the ladies. :S
next morning started with me going shopping with 4 women. i had a good time. sure, i didn’t buy much and had to be carrying things most of the time but i enjoyed myself very much so. the things i got include hair gel(it was cheap, don’t gimme weird looks), foods for grandaunt, candle holders, and most importantly, 3 lovely ties. then finally today, i headed back to singapore in the early afternoon feeling quite satisfied with the trip, even if it was not great for some colleagues.
changing the subject altogether, do you know how it feels to yearn for someone whom you feel is just the perfect one for you but you just know you’re living on hope, and only hope, that there’s a chance you could be with her/him? see, when i put myself in such a situation, i tend to be blinded and try to ignore that fact. in such a scenario, i can’t try to do anything bout it but just wish to spend more time with her. even if i know in the end, it will come to nothing but hurt, i just know that i would want to take my every opportunity to spend an extra second with her because that’s a second less that i have to miss her. and every second i get to spend with her, i just feel so contented and grateful because i don’t know if i could have that personal space with her again. would it be stupid for one to be living on hope?
