Bangkok 2008 Season 2 Day 1 - 5: Adjusting to a new Life... well not so new...

Basically it's been all about adjusting to life here. Yeah I know I've been here before but still, there are certain changes now that pretty garners a fresh experience.

Day 1

Traveling by AirAsia. This is my second time. The first being a holiday trip to Bangkok with best friends. On my previous business trip to Bangkok I was using MAS airlines, and in comparison, I would rather choose the former for convenience. AirAsia is just such a pain in the ass especially if you are traveling heavy.

Every single damn thing requires payment. To the extend of it being ridiculous. For one, it is courtesy for the staff to allow senior citizens, mothers and children for express boarding... but instead, they are charging for that. For Rm50 per adult... I would rather grab myself a nice meal. Even overweight baggage by an additional kilogramme they charge. Really silly. Not to mention they are too damn particular about the hand luggage you're carrying into the cabin.

Overall, if you have the cash to forked out. Go for MAS or other alternatives... AirAsia best suits only if you wish to travel affordably and don't mind the inconvenience.

Too bad for Air Asia, it's given me quite a bad impression.

After touching down in Bangkok, I was expecting the trip to the apartment a brisk. But due to my miscalculation, as it turned out, the journey to Chaeng Wattana is actually FURTHER than travelling to the city... >.<, coupled with the rush hour... it's real murder... Reached the place @ 6.30pm... was shocked... The apartment wasn't as I expected. I guess that's due to me being too pampered from my last trip. >.< More shock value to come. I was compelled that night to do some groceries... the essentials really. Actually, getting a DVD player was my main agenda... ahahaha... Oh well... The day pretty ended with a bore. No DVD player in sight.

Day 2

First day @ work. Was kinda expecting some warm welcome but that was mehh. lol. Started to get bombarded with work... and this time I had to face that old indian fellar who demands for everything. >.< Evening, headed to Carrefour... and this time got my DVD player. Not sure if it's a good one. I had a whale of a time inquiring about the models. I practically understood only 5% of the sales man I was talking to. I am sure likewise it's the same for him with me. ;-P Oh well. New Revelation... I had to endure something that I thought wasn't so bad. My God... the whining, and crying... but I guess it's expected from a 2 year old. But still... *Sings happy songs in my head*

Day 3

Same... work... bla...

Dinner... I was alone this time. Indian senior's family cooked... so I had to grab dinner on my own. Was practically standing for 5 minutes peeking inside a thai coffeeshop/restaurant... contemplating on if I should head in. Well, considering the crowd I guess it should be good. But in the end, crossed the highway and headed to Big C for dinner. >.<

It was also laundry night. Had to wash my own clothes. Not hand wash though. bwahahaha. I will whine if I have to hand wash. ;-P The waching machines downstairs of the apartment only handles 'wash' -> 'rinse'. My clothes were still sorta wet when I took them out... Better post a question to the management. >.<

Day 4

Work... sucks...

Had a meeting with client... a volcano erruption happened... damn blardy ackward... I am a back bencher so nothing sparked out from my side.

Dinner... had it in the office... was watching sarah connor chronicles season 2 episode 2 while working...

Left the office at 10pm... it was raining cats and dogs! My shoes got soaked!!! And it was kinda creepy. The office compound abandoned. Yet it's still the safest place anywhere. Boohoo... no taxis wanted to ferry me... guess they saw me a soaking mess.

Then turned in for the night...

Day 5...

Well will see... Hope it goes well.

Pictures to come in soon.

Toodles.
