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... 

BKK Day 2 (Ban Khun Mae, MBK, Somboon Seafood, Rod Fai Night Market)

The great thing about holidaying in BKK is that you don't have to wake up very early and it's a pretty chilled and relaxed vacation. We wore our matching "couple" shirts which we bought on day 1! On day 2, we woke up around 9 ish, left at about 10 ish to have our breakfast at Ban Khun Mae!

It's a very popular restaurant in Siam, alongside Inter Restaurant (which we didn't try). According to my friend, Ban Khun Mae and Inter are about the same but BKM is more expensive + popular so we tried BKM instead of Inter. They are opposite each other anyway! After You Dessert Cafe is also across the street from the 2 restaurants! Really wanted to try but our stomachs had no more space.

YAY TO GREEN CURRY!!!!

 After I first tried it at work, I was hooked! I love anything Curry, seriously...

And my bf loves anything Tom Yum!

Food's really good! Worth it :)

About $30SGD altogether!

Add: 458/6-9 Siam Square Soi 8, Rama 1 Road, Patumwan District, Bangkok 10330, Thailand

After our breakfast, we walked to MBK! Although we had a pretty tough time finding it, but we still found it in the end...

Went to the electronics hub to satisfy his "gadget" craving hahaha!

He finally bought his USB fan, which costed about $3 SGD, 50% cheaper than in Singapore!

I also bought a ton of beauty blenders there....... It looks freaaaaking legit and it's freaaaaaking cheap???

After all the walking around the mall, we went to the arcade to play!!! Their arcade is like Marvel/DC themed which was pretty cool cuz Esmond really loves Marvel~

We won 2 soft toys and 6 key chains!!! Hehehe it was really fun! Plus it's only 10 baht per play?? VS $1 in Singapore... 10 baht is like 40 cents only.

After all the walking, we left at about 4/5pm to travel to Somboon Seafood, which was recommended by his colleague! It's famous for their fried curry crab! They have a lot of outlets, so just google for it! We went to the one at Sam Yan station via train! I really like taking public transport whilst traveling overseas, feels like a really good experience to have, rather than taking cab everywhere. 

The food is damn good too!!!! Really like the prawn with glass noodles one hehe

The outlet is just outside Sam Yan MRT so it was really easy to spot!

After our dinner, we travelled down to the Rod Fai Night Market via cab cuz it's really inaccessible via MRT! It's behind Seacon Shopping Mall so just tell the cab driver to take you to the mall.

The Rod Fai Night Market sells really antique-y and vintage-y stuff which is super cool! Love the ambience of the shops! 

Got Thai Iced Milk Tea to quench our thirst

Esmond was having a headache and there was a gentleman barber shop so I suggested cutting his hair to "relieve the load on his head" and he went for it! Partly cuz he loves cutting his hair and we were always looking at the gentleman's hair styles!

He got his hair cut by this really petite dude. He looks super young, like 15yo? But he's really meticulous in cutting Esmond's hair! Super detailed kind? Before the barber slapped some pomade on his hair, I had actually told him maybe he should just leave it unwaxed... because it usually makes him look... weird. And I was right. The hair cut was really good but the wax made it looks like... I don't even want to describe HAHA

We ended the night with my favourite 10 baht pork!

I bought one at first, ate it, and then went back to buy another 3 hehe

Can they sell this in Singapore please!!!!!

That's the end of day 2! Stay tuned for day 3! ^_^
