Blog 1.0

Hey all. First and foremost, the reason this entry is entitled "BLOG 1.0" is because this is some sort of my comeback entry. My quote of the day:"I love making comebacks, after disappearing for so long". Anyway, I would like to restart what I had left untouched for so long. (perhaps not that long, just a few months). Currently I am having my three weeks semester break. Phew...what a hectic life it had been for the past couple of months. Not to mention, I am anxiously waiting for my results (praying so hard that I will pass everything).

I only got two weeks left of holidays so I hope and intend to enjoy it to the fullest. I guess it's time to mention something apart from my 'comeback speech'. Last week, I went to Bangkok, Thailand in order to get away from all the hustle and bustle surrounding me. Although it was a short visit, it is such an exciting experience for me. To those who don't know me that well, I am indeed an avid fan of the Thai cultures, entertainments as well as the people. I am looking forward to make another visit there if I have another chance.

As I mention, my visit to Bangkok was a short one. I spent two days just for shopping and I still hadn't had enough of it. I must say, Bangkok is one shopping heaven. I can't even shop the whole mall in one day. The two malls I went are the MBK Center (something like Sungai Wang, Lot 10 etc. in Malaysia, just that it's tenfold bigger than those malls) and the Siam Paragon (the largest mall in Bangkok). Coincidently, outside Siam Paragon, TVXQ (a popular Korean boy band) was doing press conference for their upcoming concert in Bangkok. Wow. The crowd was overwhelming (if that is the perfect word to describe them...I am not so sure).

Besides shopping, I went sightseeing and visited the Grand Palace. The palace is enormous and what amazed me the most besides the architecture of the buildings, the paintings on the wall are THE EMERALD BUDDHA. Too bad the weather wasn't all that good. It is the rainy season now in Bangkok. The floor was wet and dirty yet I barefooted in order to enter The Royal Monastery of the Emerald Buddha. What an experience!

As all good things always comes to an end, it is the time to say goodbye to lovely Bangkok (I loved everything about Bangkok except for the unbearable traffic jam revolving that place). Last thing I see before I head home to Malaysia: the Suvarnabhumi Airport. It is a new airport replacing the previous Don Muang International Airport.

Yesterday, I went shopping at The Curve. I am starting to suspect that I now 'mutated' into a shopaholic. I met Emily in Ikea when I went to grab some snacks (Ikea served the best curry puff and hot dog in my opinion).

There goes my life during the first week of semester break. I am going back KT soon enough which I have been looking forward to it.

Updates Coming Soon

New layout and post coming right up!...hopefully after I finish two more of my papers for finals.
