Bangkok Bangkok

I had so much fun. =) truly. a great experience. so. i've decided to blog it all down before i forget anything. so. its gonna be el-oh-en-jee.

hmmm. i remembered being Uber excited a day before the trip. i felt like i could pop with excitement anytime. Kept trying to imagine what the Forum would be like, Kept thinking what Mrs Wee, HanQian, Jonathan and KokTeng would be like. HAhha.

Day Negative One.

i was messaging HanQian alot, i remember. and it was also the day i found out that Karine wasn't going with us. and Hence, i'll be sharing the hotel room with only HQ. and then, there was alot of panicking about the travel insurance, because i was actually waiting for a reply from Karine to decide who'll buy the insurance for everyone. O well. i bought the insurance for everyone! HAhaHAH!

Day Zero.

I WAS SO EXCITED. i made a list of all the stuff i had to pack. and i started packing la. then i realised there wasn't much to pack, luggage was pretty empty. but i remembered that Gek said he had LOTS to pack. and so i re-packed. and re-listed. hahhaha. there wasn't much to pack la. after all the fuss fuss about the packing, i wanted to catch an early night since i'd be waking up at about 5 am the next day for my morning flight. THEN. Papa came and asked me to help him re-format his mp3 player. (hahaha) O well, we did it together. and in the end i slept at about 2am.

Day ONE! (O YEH!)

I WAS STILL SO EXCITED. goodness. i woke up on time, and took a cab down to Changi airport T1. met Gek at about 6.45am for breakfast - We had BK! then we went up to meet HQ and KT. BUT instead of finding HQ and KT, we met Jon. HAHHA. kay. then KT AND HQ appeared from the seats. SO!. we were all there. except Mrs Wee. hahahhaha. we thought she'd be the earliest.

Then we checked in. Mrs Wee then went to get her daily dose of coffee, while The rest of us went to shop/jalan jalan. We went to ermm... the duty free alcohol shops. then we walked some more. and Jon went to buy cards. and we went to play daidee/taitee/taidee/daitee. hahaha. then Mrs Wee (once again.) came later than expected. and she totally missed us even though we were (conspicuously) sitting in a circle just outside the place to check in ( gate D5).

So! we boarded the plane. it was me, Jon, KT [aisle] Gek, HQ, Mrs Wee. the plane took off. and once the seatbelt lights went off, Mrs wee immediately got up to go meet her friend from 10 years ago who was on the same flight. hahahhahaha. okay. enough of plane business.

We got off the plane and HELLO THAILAND! SA-WA-DI-KAAAAA!

We then went to get a mini bus taxi to bring us to our hotel. and on the way there, we (Mrs Wee, Hq and myself) started to talk about Mrs Wee's children (Fabian and Freda). then we went on to discuss the ages of our other lecturers and tutors. (My dip is small. so we're pretty close-knit. and we only have a few lecturers/tutors.) there was lots of laughing, then the guys joined in the conversation too! HHAHAH. it was funny la.

Then we checked in to our hotel - TAWANA. it was quite okay. very normal rooms, quite clean! :) and the staff were pretty friendly. i remembered on the last day (Day Three), when we were leaving the hotel, we got into cabs while the bellboy (bellman, actually.) helped carry our luggages into the boot. and when i was in the taxi, i waved frantically at the bellman (to say goodbye.). and he waved (a little frantically, too.) back. HAHHA. and i comically sent him a flying kiss. and he comically sent one back too, before breaking into laughs. hahhaha. i think i miss bangkok already.

i'm sleepy. and getting tired of talking in sequence. hence i shall not sequence-talk/blog.

Well. we did a little shopping at MBK on day one, we had lunch there. and we had to go back earlier to help out at the Supply Chain Asia VIP dinner. so. we helped with registration la. and then, Paul Lim, the organizer/founder of Supply Chain Asia told us to go and have dinner with the VIPs.

There were about 4-5 round tables i think. and the VIPs were seriously Very Important People. Like almost all of them were Presidents/Founder/Chairman/Senior Managers. and its scared all of us. To be honest, before i left for the trip, i wasn't expecting like Big Shots to be there. but there, they were.

O well. Paul then told us, when we go in to the dining area, to not sit/stick together cos there won't be like 6 empty seats together. so. He said that we should go in, and sit at whatever seat's available. and just mingle with the people there, listen to their conversations, learn, sell yourself, extend your network, and enjoy!.

So when we went in. Kay. i'm tired of typing already. ah-ha. BRB.
