Day two of Bangkok! Woke up earlier than expected because well, our body clocks are still running an hour ahead.

Headed down for breakfast after washing up - no one's open just yet which explains why we're currently sitting in a McDonald's. I'm not fond of the idea of travelling just to eat in a fast food restaurant, but ehh my stomach disagrees. I'm hungry dammit.

Morning traffic on the way to breakfast.

Finally managed to set up our tourist sim cards! They're a fantastic deal if you're here on a short holiday - the card gives you unlimited internet for a week, and it's really useful if your internet usage is as heavy as mine (and my fam's).

I swear now it looks like I'm doing a promo for them, but it's just that good.

Had lunch at Platinum Mall - so spicy (I added more chilli flakes by accident) but soooooo good.

I rarely take foodpics, but this was too good to resist!
Thai noodles are so love.

Getting my mails done after a long, long time and oh god it feels so dammed good. I usually do my own nails during the school trimester to save money (a gelish manicure in Singapore costs an easy $40-70 dollars depending on colour and design, and I can only use gelish because I'm a frequent hacker of keyboards and normal colour chips away far too quickly), but it feels so good to feel like I'm treating my nails right again.

Settling for dinner now - dad likes eating early, and he's also scoped out this Japanese restaurant that he wants to try.

Me? I'm happy for dinner, but I'm also content enough just trying a bit of all the street food and snacks I see.

I mean look at all this:



This is foodie heaven, and all for a fraction of the price you'll get at home.

The night market is also really fascinating, and it's wonderful to see how vibrant the city gets at night - the pace and music of its people doesn't slow down just because the sun's gone down!

All the stuff for sale - if I let myself go I'd never be able to leave Bangkok, what with all the stuff I'd buy.

Most shops close pretty early because they also open early, and this is where the night market steps in with its stalls and wares.

The night market comes with free entertainment too, and they're not bad at all!

Also sat in a tuk-tuk while on the way back to the hotel and it was so amazing - for those who don't know, a tuk-tuk is a three-wheeled vehicle that serves as a faster option for those who don't want to take a taxi. I've always loved the tuk-tuks because they're so fast and reckless and slightly dangerous, and when we sat in the tuk-tuk today I was giggling like a child on crack, I had so much fun.

Managed to snap this quick pic before we sped off again.

I hate to end this post on such an abrupt note, but it's late and I'm tired - can't wait for tomorrow.

What's Your Patronus?

Image
What's a patronus? According to Professor Lupin, it "is a kind of Anti-Dementor - a guardian which acts as a shield between you and the Dementor". It basically conjures an incarnation of the caster's innermost positive feelings, such as joy or hope, and is a weapon rather than a predator of souls. Patronuses shield their conjurors from Dementors, and can even drive them away. They can also be used to send messages. Well. I've always wondered what my patronus would be. Once upon a long-ass time ago when I was in Primary School, I'd have said that my patronus was a dog, mostly because my favourite animal back then was a dog (of course, that was way before I realised exactly how awkward I am around animals). Then a few years after that when I was in Secondary School, I would have said that my patronus was a tortoise or a turtle, for reasons that I'd prefer not to say. And then after I graduated from NAS, I asked myself again what my patronus co...

Red.

I always dye my hair red - I started dyeing it two years ago after I completed my internship because I felt that it was time, I was ready, and I haven't dyed it a different colour ever since. Of course, constant dye jobs do nothing for the hair, which is why I allowed mum to nag me into doing a henna job on my hair instead of the usual bright red I ask of the hairstylist. The result is that my hair now looks orangey instead of red, which is what I expected but nevertheless found myself incredibly disappointed with. (The irony is that I never have such complaints about my hair colour whenever my red fades to orange within the first two weeks of the fresh dye.) Tsuki-kun told me that he felt the orange suited me better since the red was too bright, but I can't quite bring myself to agree with him. See, the thing about red is that I chose the colour myself - it was the colour I was absolutely sure that I wanted for myself, and I never regretted the colour. Sur...

Break The Mirror. Please.

I don't want to look at myself in the mirror anymore. I don't want to see my reflection, I don't want to see that ugly girl staring back at me. Those pleading eyes. She wants me to do something, anything, just so she doesn't look so ugly. She's fat and ugly. Hideous, both inside and outside. All she wants is to stop thinking. Because every time she does, the knife inches ever closer to her heart. She will never be as perfect as her . She just wants to stop looking. Shut up. Just shut up. Stop comparing. I know I'm ugly. Stop thinking. Leave me alone! She wants to stop seeing all the fat bits, all the wobbly jiggly bits that she aches to just cut off. Just grab a knife and slice them all off and she won't be so FAT . She won't be so UGLY . She just wants to kill herself. Please?
