Depression. Finding Yourself. Self-Love: How we met?

How long has it been since I last updated my blog? 3 years? 4 years? I'm a procrastinator, at least in my personal life. I couldn't find the motivation to write or I shall say type. I always look for reasons that I'm so busy with work and yes, it was hectic but I'm no longer anymore. All these aside, I will start blogging more - probably use this as my personal diary and look back how much I've grown and how dumb I was. Something happened in my life that made me wanted to blog again. Something that made me look back and think. How I met him on Tinder? I met this guy on Tinder and it was great. He's my boyfriend and probably it will be was my boyfriend in a couple of days. I don't know what the outcome will be and I'm afraid. How I met him? Or should I say why I was on Tinder the first place? I broke up with my ex 1.5 years ago - 6 years relationship. I was the one who initiated it and it was tough. I know I couldn't find someone that treate

Bangkok Day 7: Terminal 21

Image
Finally, it's time for me to update my last day in Bangkok. I was quite drained out from my previous days in Bangkok so I was just relaxing in the hostel the whole morning. After recharging myself, I went to Terminal 21 which is just nearby my hostel. Terminal 21 was designed based on airport concept and each floor represents different countries. The fun part is, the interior of the toilets were also designed in the same way. People probably thought I was crazy cause I took every picture of the toilets at each floor. Without further ado, let's get to the pictures, shall we?

Bangkok Day 6: Sabx2 Wanton Noodles, On Nut Pickadaily, Big C Supermarket, JJ Green Market

Image
Day 6 in Bangkok, we went to eat the famous wanton noodles - Sabx2 Wanton Noodles as our lunch. The queue was really long when we reached there but luckily we didn't wait for long till our turn. I guessed I had high hope since everyone was raving about this but I didn't know what the fuss was about. I mean it did taste really good but the portion was so small and the price was not cheap if compared to other local food. If the portion becomes bigger, I might come back for it on my next visit in Bangkok. We also ordered the pork rice and it was much more fulfilling than the noodles. I can only recommend this place if you're wanting to try it but don't expect it to be a decent, well-portioned meal.

Bangkok Day 5: Chatuchak Weekend Market, Victory Monument, Platinum Fashion Mall, Erawan Shrine, Central World

Day 5 in Bangkok was kinda a shopping day. We went to the famous Chatuchak Weekend Market. The market not only sells fashion stuffs but also pet products, home decors, plants and many more. It's definitely a must visit during your stay in Bangkok. The market only opens on the weekend so make sure you planned out your itinerary beforehand. We found a place like food court and we had our breakfast there. The food was cheap and quite nice. We needed the energy to walk around the market because the market is very large and the weather was hot. Duck Noodles Fried Rice

Bangkok Day 4: Wat Pho, Yodpiman River Walk, Chinatown, Asiatique

Fourth day in Bangkok, my destinations are all reachable by boat. I rode the orange flag boat and each trip costs 15 Baht. First stop was Wat Pho - The Temple of Reclining Buddha. I missed out temple trip during my last visit in Bangkok so this time I was determined to visit both Wat Pho and Wat Arun. You are reminded to wear long pants and shirts with sleeves when visiting the temples, if not you will need to wear some kind of robe to cover your body. After I entered Wat Pho, I can see the massive Buddha laying there and it was spectacular. Unfortunately, the feet was under maintenance so I couldn't take a full shot of the Buddha. The temple was actually bigger than I was expected and I used more than an hour to walk around. If you want to experience the local culture and enjoy peaceful atmosphere, temple is a must in your itinerary. Signage that indicates each stop and attractions. The view along the way

Bangkok Day 3: Pratunam Market, Chocolate Ville

The third day in Thailand, I finally officially started my Bangkok trip. We woke up pretty early and departed to Pratunam Market that is known for its early opening. But before that, we went to the famous chicken rice shop to have our breakfast. The restaurant name is KuangHeng and it's nearby Platinum Mall. You can easily recognise the restaurant by their green uniforms. It's known for opening 24 hours other than its chicken rice. I wouldn't say it tastes great but it was a decent chicken rice. Its competitor wears pink uniform and I believe it taste alright too. So just choose either one to dine in should be fine. By the way, if you travel in groups, taxi is a better option because the fee shared is cheaper than BTS and MRT. Not the best but the rice is really good The satay is good

Day 2: Hua Hin Part 3 (Hua Hin Beach + Chatsila & Chatchai Hua Hin Night Market)

Image
Followed by my Part 1 and Part 2 of my Hua Hin trip, here comes Part 3 where I visited Hua Hin Beach and Hua Hin Night Market. After we visited Plearnwan, our next stop was Hua Hin Beach. I always love the sea breeze and it always calms me. Our driver parked the van near the beach as he stated that the parking area at the beach is always full and reserved. So, we did quite a bit of walking and along the way there were a lot of bars. Unfortunately, I wasn't staying in Hua Hin. If not, I could chill in one of the bars. If you have some time to spare, I would recommend you to relax there. After some walking, we finally reached the beach. We were welcomed by the locals that offer us horse riding for a fee. We've rejected them and luckily they weren't too pushy. The sand is very soft but be careful as the shells or glass will cut your feet. We spent some time there just relaxing, feel the breeze and take some pictures. Horse riding service
