Kuala Lumpur ✈ Bangkok

a little odd. something i've not done before; blogging about a trip. 

yes. i was in Bangkok last week. so were a handful of you, i noted. :o)

had a perfect plan, which was to arrive mid afternoon on a Monday, just to avoid the rush hour. alas, my flight got delayed, by one hour. i ended up being stuck in the afternoon rush hour madness anyway, getting into the city centre. 

bummer!

true, i could have gotten on the airport rail link but i had a friend from an earlier TG flight waiting to feed me at the hotel. oi! makan free oi! that calls for the speediest door-to-door service. heh.

my taxi driver just laughed at the traffic and made funny expressions, not a word of complaint from him. we chat about random topics.

that's what i love about the Thais. they are happy, they are playful, the dance in the rain sort of people. it's refreshing every single time.

even at the arrival hall, the immigration officer was excited that my passport was a new one and he'd be the first to stamp on it. he then dramatically stamped on it. ok. haha!

later that evening, we headed to Asiatique for dinner. at the pier, a man stood as though he was holding a gun and went, peng! peng! peng! aiming at us while we were getting on the shuttle boat. my friend deciphered and told me that he's doing headcount. ah!

i guess Thailand is known as one of the world's most relaxed countries anyway and as having some of the world's happiest people. perhaps, their common expression mai bpen rai, which carries the meaning 'don't worry' or 'never mind', is a factor. the commonly used vocabulary is translated into an attitude?

consequently, Thais don't worry about things and so, they're happy. most Thais are calm, relaxed and don't lose their tempers (or minds) over petty things or what they can't control. after all, mai bpen rai - don't worry!

something to ponder over. what are our commonly used vocabulary and how does it influence our disposition?

Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan Malaysia ke-56

Happy New Year peeps!

Sweet December

Happy weekend peeps!

We know, we know ... we've been M.I.A from the blog world for quite a bit. Fret not, we're still very much around. Just finished sitting in the National Youth Transformation Lab. How did we get there? Apparently, we said something like "the youth doesn't like the government" sometime back left a mark, since they've actually been following Bijou Bazaar. Well, hopefully the implementation would bring real, beneficial change for the youth. Next week it'll be presenting our proposals to the authority.

We're also lining up projects for 2011.

Fingers crossed!

This week has been an exciting week for fellow fashionistas. We started the week off with an intimate Live Fashion/Love Music showcase by Yuna x Maysaa London in the Black Box, MAP of Dutamas, which saw a gathering of beautiful people. :o)

MalaysiaKU: Celebrating Malaysia Day

Thank you everyone who made it to Bangkung Row of Jalan Bangkung, Bangsar on 16 September 2010.

You folks made the evening awesome! :o)

We saw Azmyl filming at the Subang Jaya SS 18 Pasar Ramadhan a week before raya + we love the song, so we leave you with "That Okay Song"



True.

A lot has been going on around every corner and sometimes it gets to be too much to deal with. What keeps you going when you feel like throwing in the towel and give up?

We were reminded to think about how beautiful the world can be, the sacrifices that people make so that others can feel wanted and loved. Life is worth going on for if we only had a little more happiness and love thrown into the mix. Maybe when we're down, all we need to do is just one thing for someone else, one beautiful, simple thing that might make someone else's day.

That Effing Show boys somehow echoed the same notion, that ...

Hey, it's okay.
We gotta live for a better day. (Hey!)
Now we give a little a love and we're on our way
Kita kaotim everything, parava-illay

Have a great weekend y'all!

xoxo
