High and Low
I have finally something to look forward to every night at 10pm – Healing Hearts III. I was nearly giving up TV with all the lousy dramas being aired recently. That made me feel somehow happy I have something to look forward to on weekday nights.
Then I’m devastated when I read that my favourite blogger (whom is a rich man only son and child staying near the airport and father’s own a mining company of some sort) is not going to blog anymore. Sighs. WHY! I always laugh out loud at his entries. He is so ah beng wittingly funny.
I’ve already accepted from an entry daily when I started reading some 3 years ago (entertaining me with his entics of being the biggest loser of sorts but driving a mercedes) , to an occasional update about 1 over year ago (because got sq girlfriend) till now announced end of blogging (I suppose having an secret blogging life is as dangerous as edison secret photography life after he is being promoted to become spokesperson of his company).
1 happy paragraph but 2 sad paragraphs. Why do sad things always sounds more amplified than happy things?
Olympics Chaos
I think there has never been a so choatic Olympic touch relay so far in its history. The committe whom decided on the venue must be regretting their decision. I mean, for days, there’s always this protest that boycott appearing on the world news.
Hotel
If I’m going on personal budget, this hotel will definitely not be considered at all for accomodation. The service is 200% fantastic.
I love the concierge desk. Their resourcefulness is absolutely impressive. Like there was this restaurant my colleague wanted to go for dinner but she don’t have the exact name. But VIOLA, the concierge (Khun Nimit) could print out the restaurant’s website address page for us.
But we did not eat at this restaurant in the end as no taxi wanted to go coz of the bad traffic or something. So Khun Nimit recommended another restaurant that he visits located nearby with good food. Pity I did not take any pictures of that place which was really nice, the atmosphere and everything. It was swarming with expats (ang mohs) so it was on the (very in fact-if you use Thailand’s cost of living) pricey side.
They also have turn-down room service in the late afternoon for little things that is really so thoughtful like turning on soft music, putting the bedroom slippers by the side of the bed, turning the alarm clock so that it faces the bed, changing new ice in the ice bucket, replendishing the fruits etc.
I do hope I get to stay there in the future again. But it’s quite wasteful if the main purpose of your trip is to shop and after spending so much on hotel, you only come back to sleep at night. So the hope is most likely not going to come true for poor souls like me.
The Famous
I think the highlight of my trip is staying the same hotel as Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung. I sat near Cecilia Cheung and her son (plus her troop of minders) for breakfast today. So exciting. Can’t help throwing glances at them. She was feeding the cute little bubbly son. Have not seen Nicholas Tse yet though.
When my colleague told me she saw Nicholas and Cecilia walked past her yesterday afternoon, I didn’t feel that excited. It was only seeing her in person that gave me a more surreal feeling as I was reading so much news about her recent scandals and there she was!
Wanted to like take some secret shots of her using my mobile but there was this guy whom got chased out of the restaurant after a great big commotion of shouting, grabbing and pushing by the security after they realised he was videoing her.
Anyways, I’m blogging from the hotel business centre. The charges are exhorbitant but no time to get out. Update when I’m back in Singapore. 🙂
ZzzZz
I just ate dinner like an hour ago (2am now) and I’m feeling like a zombie right. Just finished packing. I think I’m overpacked as usual. I’m a kiasu packer. I rather bring more things than discover I need it later and not have it. Running through my mind the next 3 days mentally to see if I missed out anything. I hope not. My excitement just disappeared too. I suddenly just feel like I’m working in another country, that’s all. It will be better actually to be working in Singapore, where I have all the resources. Lack of resources is inefficient. I have not much personal time with the schedule quite full of appointments. And even if I do, I just want to sleep coz I’m feeling super tired. It was a crazy day. If only it was a personal trip, how fun that will be…
