killing me softly
Ramadhan came and went. Syawal came and is going to leave us in another few more days. Time spent well with the family and my friends. Time was passing by too fast. Everything is a blur image in my head. This was my Eid for 2012. How was yours?

This will be the last post on my Bangkok trip. It makes me want to have a list of country I would like to go next. The wanderlust effect is starting to settle into my bones ... very unhealthy I suppose but will definitely see how it goes.
Quite thankful we weren't caught in any rainstorms. I took this picture after our power walk from Siam Paragon area to our hotel and was about to go down for dinner. It didn't rain but look at the traffic jam. If this was in Singapore, I would've been so impatient.
Example of a traffic jam.
Thankfully, we found this small cafe and sat down for an hour just to rest our legs.
Vanilla caramel.
Hehehehehe, hi my love. I miss you so. I have to dilute this four times with mineral water though. I think the only time I didn't have to dilute my iced milk tea was when we had 30 baht murtabak and roti prata with it. The open air shop was in a street somewhere near the mosque area. Ika and I walked through the dodgy streets and found interesting night market.
Remember how I wrote we were quite eager to try out the street food? We were only able to get this really nice peppery chicken/crab balls. Not very delicious but able to fill up just nice before meal time.
Also remember how I wrote I ate this very strange kind of chicken sausage? Here it is! The taste is really one of a kind .. very sourish the kind you think it might have gone bad after long exposure to the sun (but I didn't have any tummy ache after eating this though). Ika didn't enjoy the taste and left everything for me. I could've dump it in the bin but I decided to finish it up and the taste kinda grew on me. Now I feel like eating a piece of this.
I don't know what is this. We wanted to buy it but they gave us some salad instead without these crabs. I don't know what they do with it or if people are supposed to eat it raw? Interesting things we don't have answers to it.
2012 travelling buddy on our last day. We were glad we are finally going home yet at the same time we told each other how much we will miss the place. We definitely didn't want to go back to our routined lifestyle.
The thing I really like about travelling is that we are able to run away just for a little while from our own life. For a moment it feels like time stopped for us to have a little breather and have fun. Life still goes on as usual for so many others. Unfortunately, as soon as my flight touched down in Singapore, I received a news that a cousin of mine was in critical condition in ICU and then she passed on in the early morning the next day. I didn't get to visit her at all and the last time I saw her was a few months ago. It is a very shocking news and most definitely it serves as a big reminder to me that life is too short..

Ahh, looking through these pictures make me miss the place even more. I don't know when I will be back again but the next time, I will definitely want to walk to more places and drink more thai iced tea hehe. Anyway, I can't believe it's only been three weeks from our return?? It seems like so long ago!
Fruits were so cheap and it's readily available by the road sides.
The Thais really love their desserts to be extremely sweet. I remembered not finishing mine because it was a little too much heh.
My 400 baht polka dotted bag. I found it on my second day in Bangkok and couldn't stop saying how much I love it. Basically it's really huge so I'm able to throw in my things after I'm done with shopping. It will definitely go to many places with me in the future.

Extremely bland pad thai both Ika and I do not like it. We wanted spicy but alas we couldn't taste anything but oil. Unfortunately, I almost had a migraine from the weird after taste.
Ika spotted these cute toilet signs and pointed it out to me. So adorable!

I have soft spot for wooden tables and chairs. Such a rustic image and it feels so cosy.
One out of the numerous tuk tuk rides we took. Getting stuck in a jam is quite normal I guess.
A small shrine directly outside Platinum Shopping Mall. We spotted another big one outside Central Plaza too. There are so many shrines around and it's very accessible for the Thais.
My travelling buddy for Bangkok 2012. We had talks about where we are going to travel next in 2013 hehehe so ambitious aren't we?

This is to die for. Are there any coconut ice cream readily available here in Singapore? Ika and I had this after a long, hot walk around Chatuchak Market and it was like finding an oasis in the middle of a desert. Both of us couldn't stop raving about it and any other coconut ice cream we had throughout the trip couldn't compare to this one.
People closest to me know how much I love my sweet drinks. I love my bubble tea and milk tea to death. The sweeter the better! But I learned that I do have a limit to the sweetness in my drink. I had Thai iced milk tea for every meal and all of them were extremely sweet and I had to dilute it every single time. Maybe that is why they always fill up their cups with crushed ice to make it less sweeter. It didn't work though. But I still love it. I bought a packet of the instant milk tea back and made a mistake the first time round by adding in a tea spoon of condensed milk.
Ika and I were walking around Chatuchak and then we saw these two kids happily playing in a pail of water. Some many years ago, I'm very sure I was like them too - minding our own business and having fun without having to care about anything at all.
Not a fan of dried squids but this was quite a sight. How do people eat them anyway? I know I was dying to try out some Bangkok street food but because we were concious about the Halal status of the food, we didn't try out that much. Though I did had a memorable experience eating some very weird tasting chicken sausage cocktail hehe.
o my deer
I love tiny details. I get really obsessive about little things like how your hair dances lightly with the wind or how your fingers look like when you're tracing the menu. Things that are hard to capture but I still try my best anyway.
life is too short to wait
Hello I'm kinda back. Kinda sounds like I'm half assing this whole blogging thing again. I don't know how people can write so well and that compliment their pictures at the same time. I am quite jealous of people with that ability. Anyway, half a year missing in action, I'm back with pictures!
what you mean to me
Last weekend I met this tiny bald baby named Raihanah Nur Insyirah. Ah I guess growing up has come to this - saying hello to my cousins' babies hehehe.
just in case
Just in case there are people who are still reading:
I just got back from a short getaway (K to the L) last Tuesday with my best girl friends. It was crazy stressful but we managed to fit in lots of laughter in between walking and arguing with cab drivers. Anyway, I brought my Nikon FE and it died on me on the third day. So not enough KL pictures but I will get the battery replace soon for new adventures next year.
Just in case I forget this, note to self for 2012:
Small baby steps.
See you all next year! May you always, always be happy with your loved ones.
