1st day in Bangkok

Before I talk about Bangkok..
Today is my best friend Hwei Chen's birthday, happy birthday to you dearie!! ^^
Ket and I celebrated Hwei Chen's birthday on Friday after my Jogoya luncheon with Michell, however some very nice photos are in Ket's camera and I plan to meet her (Hwei Chen) tomorrow after work to give her the present I prepared. I didn't give her on Friday because it wasn't ready yet...after 2 weeks of hard work...you will see what I prepared for her tomorrow :P

It's sexy...and it's pinky
Okay okay, not too sexy and not too pinky
LOL!

So, today I'm not going to talk about Hwei Chen's birthday, save it for tomorrow, gagaga :P Thought to continue my 1st day in Bangkok, as I mentioned in my previous entry, Kevin and I were sick.

In Chiang Mai airport





30 minutes later..
Eeh, where is Kevin, the Fever + headache + diarrhea Superman?
Where is Violet, the Fever + diarrhea Supergirl?

Kevin was sleeping, and Violet have a very "big business conference" in the toilet. I was glad violet didn't have to attend the business conference in the plane's washroom. Otherwise the whole plane will be sucking smelly, HAHAHAHAHA!
Are you eating? Oppps, sorry sorry :P

After an hour of flight (roughly)




we reached Bangkok


The Bangkok airport is enormous! My sick bugs gone (temporarily) and I decided to take a few photos








Waiting for our luggages




Bangkok is a very huge city, we were a bit confused in the airport, blurrr because of high fever. Looked around and a man in coat approached us...asked if we need a taxi to go to our hotel. I said yes without thinking much. They charged 900 baht from the airport to the hotel (It's a 3 star hotel, I forgot the name, need photos to remind me). Hmmm...expensive but we accepted the offer. We paid 1800 baht for the return ride. Next time I will take a meter taxi! I think from the airport to the city centre only 450 baht including tolls

Checked-in 45 minutes later...
I was totally down, went in the room, tipped the bell boy and I'm done

Lying on bed with everything on including my handbag, wanted to go to toilet but I didn't have energy to move...yes, I know I looked good in the previous shots, but...

See

I was very sick, really sick and I wasn't kidding about my high fever and diarrhea

I thought I will die...I was very weak, mentally and physically

We slept for a few hours, it didn't help at all. I didn't want to go anywhere but Kevin (he was sick but still rational) insisted we must see a doctor and eat something. I only agreed to eat, refused to see a doctor because I'm stingy...hahaha, not stingy la, but..I don't know, I just didn't like the idea.

Our hotel is very near to Lotus, Carrefour, we walked there. I sat everywhere along the way, I sat on the street, squad down...

Hmmm...I think I'm a very strong woman, do you know why?
because I managed to take photos although I was very sick, hahahahahaha :P
Photos without me in it
We ate in a Japanese Restaurant




Soup




Kevin's

He didn't finish this, only consumed 50%

Mine

I only ate 5% of the foods served, which were 1 slice of meat and 1 small scoop of noodles.

Paid, and left..

I guess the chef must be very disappointed, thought we hated the foods he/she prepared. To be frank, the foods were alright, just, we didn't have appetite

Since I didn't want to see doctor, we went to a local pharmacy instead. Bought some pills and medical kit
This is me, sleeping




I would like to thank my sweetheart Kevin, for taking very good care of me when I was sick :)
Thank you baby! ^^

That's all for my 1st day in Bangkok

P/S: The pills are very strong, we have fully recovered on the second day! ^^

Chiang Mai Day 3

My Day 3 in Chiang Mai.
Too many activities and photos on the 2nd day, there is one thing I would like to assure you...Day 3 only has got 2 parts, today is part 1

In morning, Kevin told me he has headache, but I didn't give a damn...because headache is very common (right?), and I was OK. Now you know I'm shellfish, ermmm...I mean selfish. Hahaha. Hey! Shellfish sounds cute, next time I will say shellfish but not selfish :P

He looked bad...but I chose "not to see him", because because he always look like this in the morning...(I have so many excuses) :P


Good morning!
I looked great, healthy.. no sick sign


Akh was there..


Good morning, Chiang Mai! ^^


Us, walking around aimlessly, trying to find something hot before we leave this beautiful land




Does it mean "out"?
I'm saying the Thai words


Photos along the way..






After we walked for about 20 minutes, we saw a temple :D
Sorry I don't know the name...


I think it's a new temple, or newly renovated temple






Really strange, we were the only visitors..




Where is Kevin in this photo? :P


Where is Violet in this photo?
Huh? You don't see me?
If you don't, you are...blind :P






Really, no visitors, I still wonder why..




Random photos


The great wall of Chiang Mai :P






















He was very sleepy and tired






Deh?


Thais


Going back to our guesthouse...because I started to feel dizzy and Kevin's headache was getting worst. In fact we still have 2 hours to spend before we proceed to the air-port. We felt terribly bad, thus, decided to go back and sleep more


Me, impatiently waiting for Kevin.
For your information, I walk really fast


Photos of the guesthouse we stayed
It's a nice place...we might stay in S.K. again, but definitely won't buy their tour packages. Okay okay, I know this is not the first time I say about the expensive tour packages, but I'm not finish yet! I was such an idiot! As the old Chinese saying goes, never make a woman upset, they will nag about it forever. God bless you, S.K.. LOL :P
(actually it wasn't 100% their 'fault', it was me so stupid, bought their packages without surveys)




















Thought to have breakfast, but we didn't have appetite..ordered 3 juices instead


Back to our room, slept for an hour


Kevin was totally down, me?
After I woke up from an hour nap, I felt very bad
We woke up realised we have high fever, headache and diarrhea!


It is always a bad idea going to massage after meals, not to mention the room was like a huge fridge, I was damned cold..I should have let the masseur knows that I was freezing. Kevin and I were in the same room, if you wonder ;) And about the diarrhea, maybe it was because of the massage.

I swear, I'll never never go to massage again after meals.
