I am BAAAACCCKKK people!!
Thailand was awesome. Wanna really thank the Lord for His protection and journey mercies!!
And yes to answer the first question that everybody asks haha. I did shop ALOT. But everything was really cheap and I got some nice stuff too! We went to MBK, Chatuchak and Platinum Plaza for shopping. Shopping havens i tell ya!
I bought 4 tops, 2 dresses, 3 shorts, 3 three quarter pants, 3 bags, 1 wallet, 1 skirt, 3 racerbacks, 1 spaghetti strap, 1 tube, 3 belts, 2 pairs of earrings, 4 t-shirts, 1 cardigan, 1 slippers, 4 pairs of shoes ... yah I think thats all lah hee hee
I am really happy about the trip. Very contented and satisfied! I have officially enough clothes and no more shopping for clothes! Hahaha. although i still need to get a watch and my wedges hee hee cannot find over there.
We stayed at Asia Hotel which was really good because there was the sky train right at the second floor!! so convenient! And it was linked with the MRT too, which we only took once to the overpriced Night Bazaar. The range of the sky train price was like 15 to 35 baht. As compared to taking taxi rightz.... with all the traffic jams and the swindler drivers who off their meters to bargain the price with you ...
And we saved a lot on food too! We ate mostly at the small eateries or food court around the shopping areas ... Except for the really good japanese buffet at 600 over baht, we spent around 30 baht for each meal only. On stuff like pad thai, fried rice, mango sticky rice, noodles, chicken rice etc etc. Oh and we ate at the MK restaurant which had steamboat at 150 baht each *droolz*
The taxi ride to the hotel was so scary cause the driver was quite reckless and there was a near accident. Like a small bang. I was soooo scared from the previous accidents trauma that I didn't even realiza i started mini hyperventilating ... till my sis told me to relax and not breathe so hard hahahahaha. I was praying like crazy.
Then the plane ride back was horrendous when we just took off and we were in the clouds. My sis and I were praying fervently. The turbulence was so bad that the guy in my row said "wah! like escape theme park roller coaster" hahaha. I was making lotsa noises whenever there were dips and my stomach flopped. till I had to cover my mouth from all the mini screams. I think the two guys beside me had a good "ahm qio" LOL
So really thank the Lord for protecting all of us on all our different journies on different forms of transportations ... and also all our walking to different places, even at night and just being with us every step of the way! We even had a mini service in our hotel room together. Short time of worship using the songs on our handphones ... followed by a short bible study sharing session! The presence of the Lord was so strong after that! :)
Also wanna thank Him for giving me self control and not go crazy spending so much haha. I actually have $160 sing left from the budget i brought there. Somemore I spent quite a bit on presents for people. So happy :)
I mean the Bible said that we should purchase material goods with the mindset that we will not possess them forever! The stuff is really nice, but they are just stuff and they can rot or collect dust. And when we die we can't bring it with us! As Job says "Naked I come, naked I depart!", it really struck me this verse. So I wanna strive to be Christ's ambassador everyday and store my treasures in Heaven!!!
My God is a good God! He supplies all of my needs!!
Glad to be back! Luv you all!
