it's a blog eat blog world

Bangkok 2005 Part 1

Bah! I've been procrastinating too much... *gives self a disgusted look*

I've been procrastinating so much that i kinda have blogger's block now... Shall just let all the pictures do the talking...


Look at that cheapo boarding pass! It looks more like a receipt. That's budget airlines for you man...


Excited! And also bewildered at how tiny the plane's interior was... I was sitting right at the back.


And there's the front! Small right?


Colin felt obligated to take a similar shot... Copycat!


And we're up! I like this shot...


The obligatory toilet pose... The toilet was, as is everything on the budget airline, tiny. The only movement i could have was rotating on the spot. But that might be because i'm fat. People like Colin might be able to do para para in there...

After we landed, it was a mad rush to our hotel... We joined the taxi queue, which was so long it could rival Wendy Cheng's MOS experience...


When I say long, I mean long.

After a wrong stop (we were like staring at this posh hotel and going "This totally cannot be what we paid for."), we finally reached the hotel and checked in without a hitch. This is the end of the part of the entry that has a chronological sequence to the pictures. Now comes the other mish mash of my trip.


I got a "poke" with my fried rice. *Ouch*


We ordered room service like 3-4 times throughout the stay. The food was not bad, and it sure beats eating along the roadside...


Instructions on how to get the paper towels to dry one's hands. I particularly liked the last sentence, "Then, gently snatch the paper out".

So oxymoronic! Can gently snatch one meh? Then can softly shout?


The next day we took the train to Chatuchat! The mecca of pasar malams!

I shall leave that for another day cos i'm quite tired and sianned of just brainlessly posting photos...

-----------------

Anyway, went to watch the 186 min movie, King Kong. It would be the best show i've watched this month.

I'd give it 7/10. Go catch it, and make sure to empty your bladder before the movie man... On second thoughts, don't bother cos you'll have an hour and a half's time after the movie starts to go. The big ape didn't appear in the movie until well into the movie, not that i'm criticising the show or anything...

And i'd give Chronicles of Narnia 5/10. I'm sorry but the show didn't live up to my expectations of it.

Next up, Geisha and DaVinci... Better be good... Or someone has to pay...
