So the trip with Mum to Bangkok was good. Some things never change. She still held my hand when crossing the crazy roads of BKK. Nagged me about the weight of my bags. I still had to rag her a little about buying stuff she wants (obviously I did not inherit the virtue of thrift and the love of retail therapy from my mum, hah!).
Some things don’t change. For a very good reason perhaps.
Dad came to pick us up. My protests to take a cab home myself fell on deaf …

So much had happened over the last few days that I don’t know where to and how to begin.
But I shall.
Monday I flew to BKK and embarked on a frenzied buying and sourcing mission for Xtralicious Shop. On Tuesday I was swimming with the sharks (think scammers) and played them at their own game. Shall not talk too much about this lest Big gives me the jaundiced eye again… He was quite upset with me after I finished narrating my tale to him..
I flew back on Wednesday after two very …

We went away during the CNY for a short weekend trip to KL, thus missing the potluck get-together at Ratna’s place on the 9th. So many places to go, so little time! LOL.
I promised the children that I’d bring them to Sunway Lagoon again, as seeing that it drizzled on our parade during the last trip in December. So KL it was to be. This trip also was very special as it was the first time I ever travelled with a girlfriend (told ya I was a loner! :P) and …

We went to the famous Petaling Street in the evening… It was packed to the brim!!

I just love how cool and relaxed she is.
 
 

Fruit Stalls, but packed like sardines.
 
 

This food stall (Jin Lian Ji) rocks. I mean seriously RAWKS.
I have had my share of fine dining and I certify the food here to be much more satisfying than food in pricey restaurants!
True Blue soul food. I always knew I am a dai pai stall girl at heart even with all the veneer of designer armour.

As promised…. PICTURES and updates!! Our first stop: KL, Sunway Lagoon.
The original plan was to take the kids to the ginormous Water and Dry Theme Parks In Sunway Lagoon, but it was raining when we got there. Bugger. Guess we have to make another trip soon.

So we went ice skating at Sunway Shopping Complex instead.
 
 
I joined Big and the girls to (finally learn how to) ice skate but I had to exit after less than a minute. Reason: I could feel my back acting up. …

I am starting to feel very exhausted… even in hospital, I have to worry and brainstorm about work. I am experiencing the strange phenomenon of not being to relax even in such a tranquil and scenic place meant for rest.
I think about my plans to travel next year and I just want to get away from it all now. I think I will work in the trip to London between June and August.
Am determined to revisit Carnaby Street, Camden Market, Covent Garden, Oxford Street, Bond Street, Knightsbury, Portobello Market at …

Going to the Land of Smiles next month… again. I know… I am so boring.
Travel plan for next year: Bangkok (again!) in January, Sydney/ Perth in March, Hong Kong in July and Paris in October (yippee!!). Am trying to work in London somewhere but I just don’t know how…
Anyway, that means, I have to plan my itinerary and budget now. What do you think, I am some tai tai who can zip off to Paris, Milan or London on a whim? Heh.
People, please feel free to give me ideas, …
