The view from above. I have mentioned before that I love window seats.
Rui and I went to Bangkok with an almost empty luggage each in anticipation of shopshopshopping madness.

My pretty best friend since middle school.
The Cathay Pacific flight was short, taking only a couple of hours. So we stuffed ourselves with F.r.i.e.n.d.s episodes and food [which actually tasted delicious].

After the usual of getting out of the airport, heading to the hotel, checking in and stuff, it was early evening and we decided to conquer Suan Lum, which was highly recommended by TMM. We barely made a dent in the entire place for 3 hours but nearly died from backache and tired painful feet. How on earth are we going to survive Chatutchak later??

The first photo taken before entering the night market.
Both of us felt really stressed cos we got to buy things for many people - our family and friends. I saw a beautiful white tube dress and another white skirt but I didn’t get them cos they cost too much. Alas! I couldn’t get them out of my mind and when I tried to return to the same store, we ended up lost. Boo..

The next photo taken. We were too busy shopping to take any photos! Ha ha!
Just before falling asleep, all I could think of was.. my feet hurts, my feet hurts, my feet hurts…. zzzz..

24th May 2004 - day, Melbourne time
Meimei and I walked downtown somewhere [it's been so long, I cannot remember every minute detail], just the two of us. Took some touristy pictures, had some girly talk, and she bought me lilies! My fav! This is how sweet she is. =)
Me and my lilies.
The unique lilies which scented up our room.

Shaky hands ‘cos I was overwhelmed by the delicious smell.
Chinese food - second night of homecooked food by Dee. I watched Dee putter around the kitchen and learnt quite a bit. The cold weather caused me to get hungry very easily. Ate a lot = Fat.

23rd May 2004- night, Melbourne time
We were supposed to head down to St Kilda’s beach but most of us woke up at 1pm. Ahem. Have not adjusted to Melbourne time I reckon. Dee wanted to buy [more] food so Iv-bro, Bakzamgai, Vic and I went along. As it was near closing time, the sellers were all slashing their prices ‘cos they’d wanted to close shop for the day. Some of them were shouting “Come, come! $3 off all meat!”, which was so weird ‘cos it was so like our “Lai, lelong, lelong!” Iv-bro started imitating them, getting all carried away with “Come, come, buy 1 get 1 free. $5 off everything! $10 off all meat! Buy 1, get a cow free! Free! Free! Everything free!” with an exaggerated gesture of his hands. An old Aussie lady overheard him and grinned so widely I thought her teeth would drop out, and she went “It would be great if you work here”. Laughs.
Some of us headed to Smith Street where the factory outlets were [but they weren't all that cheap] and bought a couple of clothes. I love doing all these, I wish I have all the time to live here.

22nd May 2004 - late night in Melbourne
There was this show that I have wanted to watch ever since Le Petit Prince mentioned it to me - “Children of a Lesser God”. The story’s about a sign language instructor who fell in love with a rebellious hearing-impaired girl. Was having a quiet night in watching “Blue Crush” before “Children” commenced [curious about Kate Bosworth and why he likes her so much], and was all settled down for “Children” when Meimei sat down to talk to me. We chatted and chatted and chatted… until the show ended! Argh!!! I did catch a bit here and there, and the show seemed good, a much more convincing than “Heaven’s Coin”.
Does anyone happen to have the vcd or dvd of the show?

22nd May 2004 - 1.55pm, Melbourne Time
The night before
Went to meet Dumbo after dinner. It is cool, meeting friends in foreign countries. She was attached and had wanted me to meet C**** the next time we meet up for dinner in Melb.
Headed to Crown Casino all by my blur clueless self thereafter to join the rest of the gang. It was a little scary when I took the tram to the casino ‘cos I didn’t have any idea which stop I should be alighting at, and when I became more aware of my surroundings, I realised that the two fierce, gothic-looking girls sitting directly in front of me were slagging Asians to get a rise out of me. Thankfully, I got off the tram safe and unscathed.
Halfway through gambling [the guys, not me], some of them wanted to smoke so we went up to a smoking area on the second level of Crown which has glass walls everywhere. We sat in a circle in the deserted lounge area with me facing the outside of Crown where I could see the entrance of Crown and the main road, and could observe the people entering and exiting the casino.
I was not paying much attention to anything in particular when I suddenly noticed a caucasian guy heading towards our direction on the ground level. Nothing seemed amiss even when he stopped below us, still in [my] full view, staring up in our direction. I thought nothing of it, perhaps he want to take a smoke at our area later on, I briefly thought. But no. No, no, no, no, no. As my glance shifted back to the gang, I saw a movement of his hand at the corner of my eye and realised he was.. pleasuring himself! Horrors! I was so traumatised I decided to fix my gaze on the gang and nowhere else but the gang. 3 seconds later however, Iv-bro spoke to me and I had to face him [thus, facing that sexually frustrated guy] and I saw the guy… getting that satisfaction he needed, still staring up at us! How much more traumatising can it get? Dumbfounded, I could only get up weakly and trudge back to the casino after the others when they were done smoking.
An experience indeed.
