BKK Day 3 and 4 (Cat Cafe, Big C, Chatuchak, Artbox)

This is my blog's background picture!

Purr Cat Café Club

Sukhumvit Soi 53 (BTS Thong Lor)

Opening Hours: Close Mondays, Tue-Thu 11am-8pm. Fri – Sun 11am-9pm

Big C Supermarket

Opposite Central World

Ok, I just noticed something scary in this picture... I just realised that the line on my finger has grown wider over the year?!?!?! In this pic it was just a thin line, now it has progressed to a thick line, albeit uniform. I think I should get it removed... Yup, I went to the doctors and they told me it's a mole. I still feel scared though? I actually got it when I hurt my finger when I was young, but I have no vivid recollection of the incident. 

We don't eat coconut and we love the ice cream! Really is must-eat at Chatuchak. 

Chatuchak (6am – 6pm) (sat – sun)

Sky train to Mo Chit station, or the underground to Chatuchak station, and follow the stream of people.

Artbox

I actually don't remember which Artbox we went to. It's like another night market, just that they change location every time? You can search Artbox Bangkok or something on Google, go to their IG page, they usually update their upcoming one, or if you're lucky you can just visit the one that they are currently having! It's a really cool "hipster" place :)

In retrospect

27 Dec 2016
1:59AM

Taking naps during the weekends (public holiday included) really screws up my sleeping schedule but I really wanted to nap. Sighs. 4 more hours till I have to wake up for work and I'm not sure if I'm even going to sleep.

It's been 8 months since I've not blogged and I think I want to come back to blogger. Dayre is more like an "instant" thing. Blogger feels more like a diary.

These 8 months flew by so quickly, and 2016 is ending in 5 more days. I am really looking forward to 2017.

I think I have had a lot of things going through my head these days lately. I think with all the things happening around the world lately, there is a lot to reflect upon and I just feel really happy to be spending each and every day of my life with my loved ones.

I think I will starting drafting out my EOY2016 post now!

Also just realised I only did 2 days of my BKK trip. I don't think I will continue on that because it has been a year and I don't even remember the details anymore HAHAHA

Change

Dyed my hair dark.
Changed my spectacles.

What's next? ;)

:(

Today my bf is working late, so I'm home alone, exhausted from waking up early.
This 2 weeks gonna be crazy because I have to relief tuition for yi and bf has duties.

Sighs, a day of not meeting my bf feels so weird :(

Roz

I remembered my first day at Twelve Cupcakes. I was early, and I greeted everyone. Roz was there, and he said something about my shoes - Vans. He was a Vans fan too. Being "sorta" the pioneer batch at Twelve, I was under his lead for quite awhile, as there was only one manager coordinating all the outlets. We were tight and we all loved him. He was nonchalant but so cool about everything.

He was a joy to everyone. He would always try and help and speak up for our fellow colleagues whenever they needed him. And he was so relatable to us (mainly the BIG BANG fans), because he was one too (although in the non-mad-fanboy way). And then I would hear him tell us stories about his crazy nights (always working two jobs? manager during the day, MC at night). Some days he would come to work hungover.

Subsequently, a lot more managers were hired and we had to rotate outlets. I was not under his care anymore, but whenever I visited his outlets, he would always greet me with a hug.

He was so dear to all of us that when he left, I was sure everyone felt a part of them got ripped out.

I only regret I never visited him at the hospital, although I did ask about him. I had hoped from the bottom of my heart that he would recover. I saw posts from his sisters that he was getting better, I thought he would heal. I thought wrong.

It feels fucking crazy. Only a few years back, we were working together. And now he has passed. But I know, he's free of pain and he is happier now. You are always in our hearts, Roz.

Happy

Haven't had the time to blog for a long while.
Since I deleted the blogger app on my phone (and it's not available for download anymore), I couldn't blog on the go.
I'm too lazy to blog on my laptop because all the photos are in my phone....

Just logged into blogger and saw a hate comment, it went "don't be jealous of plastic bitches, don't you have a mirror at home?" to my previous post which I didn't mention about plastic bitches at all??? And I have no issues with people who have plastic surgery??? But anyway, I deleted the comment, because it made no sense and it keeps me happier to keep my blog clean :)

Moving on~

Life's been pretty much mundane. Waking up at 6am. Work till 530pm. Meet bf for dinner everyday (No I don't get sick of meeting my bf everyday. Furthermore, it's only a few hours. And I feel so much better seeing him after work ^^). Sleep around 11-12am. The cycle repeats.

Oh, I had a medical check up last week, sponsored by my company. My first ever, in 23 years. Had my blood drawn, for the first time! I was really excited about it :| It was really not painful at all when the nurse inserted the needle, and only felt like a pinch when she took it out. I think I have a pretty high threshold for pain... because I had multiple surface piercings before? Nothing beats nape piercing. The needle was really similar to the piercing needle, except it was smaller. Had an xray too, and my height and weight, blood pressure and everything taken.

Got my results today, and everything's pretty normal. Was pretty worried about my heart since I had some chest pains (but the last time I went to the Doc, he said it was cuz I didn't exercise). But everything seems normal. I am really 1.63m tall! For a few years I was doubting myself because my height fluctuates when I take them.

I compared my results to my bf's (which he also had one recently), and I think I'm much healthier than him. But kudos to him, cuz his glucose (sugar) dropped from 5.7 to 5.4 in a year. Higher than 6.0 would be kinda bad. Mine was 4. something. And he has high blood pressure! I mean not really, but his is not in the normal range. Gotta watch his diet :/

Excited about the upcoming BTO in May, my bf's birthday and also cruise in July (on my birthday!)

Having to work with Windows 5 days a week makes me lose touch with my Mac. Always pressing "fn" because it's "ctrl" on Windows T_T On Mac, we uses "command" which is "alt" on Windows. So not used to it.

Long update short: I'm very contented with Life right now. On every week that I felt was long, I would try and appreciate instead of complain, because I don't want life to just.... go by like that. I want to enjoy every day :)

To do list for tomorrow:
- Play with Giselle
- Train hard for NVM;
- So I can sleep early



The only thing I hate about adult life is having to pay my bills myself. Nvm, next time 老公养我 :)
P.S For my bf who wants an update on my blog.

Good night, X

Poooooped!

Hi guys!!! Been quite busy lately... Well, not really. It's just having to wake up at 6am everyday is a torture. And I'd feel really sleepy after work. Sleepy to the extent that I just want to go home and sleep without having dinner but my of course my bf wouldn't allow that. He's having duty today so I'm free and I can sleep early!

Work has been okay, except it's getting busier... Wish I could just take my time and close all the cases but I cannot! Sighs.

Just started on my book again, I've been having the urge to read my storybook which is pretty rare cuz I'm really lazy. But I brought my book out and read it on the way to work. Caught a whiff of the book, it smells so good! I'd never get a kindle because I prefer holding the book, flipping the pages and having to put a bookmark and the smell! I love Murakami and reading 1Q85 was crazy because the book was SO heavy, I took super long to finish it.

It's finally friday tmr though! Weekends are here again!

And next monday 2 of my colleagues (1 of them my senior) will be leaving. T__T Since I started, 3 has already left, now it's 5! Anw, korean noodle challenge with my colleagues tomorrow!

I'm too tired to blog so I'm going to bathe and sleep, and I'll be woken up my bf's call later hahahahaha. So shiok he off tomorrow. I also want....

Monday blues

I get why Mondays are blue now... It's because you'll be sleeping early on weekdays and then when you sleep late during the weekends aka Sunday, you'll feel how blue it is to wake up so early on Monday morning.

I woke up at 428am yesterday. Why do I keep waking up at 4ish????

The bf is still at work, because he says work is piling up. He's going to have 8 days MC because he's gonna have his teeth extracted. The teeth that should have been extracted long ago. It has been causing him pain since BEFORE we went to BKK.

It's 938pm and I wanna go to bed already. Although, I wanna stay up at least till he reaches home.






Waking up at 6am everyday is SOOOO tiring. Luckily work isn't a drag...

Working adult

Hi guys, I'm writing this post as I'm commuting to work. This week is my second week at work and everything at work has been smooth mostly. The people are great there, not really the food though. I have been really enjoying work so far minus the fact that I have to wake up at 6am every day now. It's kinda a good and bad thing. Bad that it's so early! But good that I'm sleeping earlier each day. I even slept before 11PM last night but I was really really tired. But I have been waking up at 430AM the past few days and I don't know why... Body clock or something? Anyway, during my first week in, my colleague had already planned dinner outings but I didn't go partly because I'm a home-body. I felt bad so I told them I would go to the next one, which they planned it to be next week. Hahaha I hope it'll be fun! Till then, x

Gratitude

   I have been job hunting for a month and today my prayers have been answered. I have been so stressed about which career path I'm taking, where to apply, going for interviews. I've always wanted to start working so I can finally earn my own money, pay my own bills, be independent (still must depend a bit on bf cuz gf is to be doted on right!!!). 

For the past few months I've been quite skeptical about God. I used to think God doesn't exist. But lately, I could feel that God does exist. That there is heaven and hell. That we all have a Maker. By God, I don't mean Christianity. Just God in general. And because I believe that each of our lives are destined and planned, I feel so grateful waking up in the morning and even more when I'm with my boyfriend. Because not only am I alive, but I'm happily alive, being with the one I love and the one who loves me. I dare not make plans for the future because I don't want to have any expectations lest I disappoint myself. But I'm just happy knowing that I'm certain of what kind of person I want to be and who I want to be with. Is this the process of learning who I am?

I digress... Anyway, I've gotten a piece of good news today which I really can't believe. I never thought I would be able to achieve something on my own. And also to have people to have faith in me. This is huge for me. I have yet to let my family know though. I am going to work full-time now. I am a working adult! (Soon)

For all the people who encouraged me during my job hunting process, I am so grateful. When I didn't get the job I first applied for, my colleague told me "good things come to those who wait". So I hope this job would be good ah!!! But again, I'm grateful for this opportunity. 

And even though my mother likes to say things to piss me off, I know for sure she prayed for me to get a good job. I'm working hard to become a good daughter. I must understand filial piety...

Mad

This is the freaking problem about me. I don't believe anything good will come to me. If I receive a piece of good news, I spend the rest of the day worrying about what kind of shit will be thrown my way. My mindset: Good stuff = Bad stuff coming soon. Now I'm wide awake overthinking. Legit tossed and turned for 2 hours. And I've work tomorrow. I hate myself sometimes. Ugh, it's time for positive mindset aud aud...
