Day 1:
This trip consists of 8 people- friends’ family members and friends. Supposing my friend’s friend, Jacqueline was seated on the left window and I was seated in the middle seat together with her mother and aunties and my friend, Wanyi was seated towards to the right window… Aiyoh, all separated then we go changed the seat immediately without everyone notice. Ha-ha, as if we taking bus. Then, we 3 youngsters seat near the right window…Lucky I seating the 2nd seat much nearer to the window, able to see the night view of Singapore. When the airplane starts to “fly”, the feeling was so thrill. As the plane travels further, the ground below us seems smaller and smaller and with all the lights lighten up, you will surprise they are the tall buildings, cars and lights. At the moment, it seems like ground sparkle like diamond or stars. It can seem that everyone was dead beat; especially Jacqueline and Wanyi almost slept after eating the dinner that the plane provided. Ha-ha, can’t blame them cos they are working since morning. It was traveling smoothly till left 25 minutes to reach Bangkok Airport, there is a small “gurgle” it seems the plane has “knocked” the clouds. Then, everyone seems to “fly” over a bit. So scary! But lucky we got seat belt fasten or else think will throw out of our seat. Then Jacqueline and Wanyi wake up from that “gurgle” and didn’t dare to sleep and we 3 of us kept seeing the scenery outside. Then, another unusual thing happened again. The plane took a longer route! It traveled in circle direction then it travels straight then it turn right and back to left again. At first, I didn’t notice until there is a couple behind us commenting why the plane traveled in circle direction as they saw the map route in the TV in front of us. After minutes, we safely arrived in Bangkok Airport. After departing from the plane, we went straight to the airport cos we knew the journey to our hotel will be very long. Wah! their checkpoint was so far from the departing area. So far, lucky got the electronic escalator or else those aunties sure leg pain. After checkout, we stand in one corner waiting for our tour guide to take us to hotel. We all so exhausted as the time at Bangkok is 12:05am and 1:05am in Singapore time. Then, after 10minutes, the tour guide came. She introduces herself as “Ning” and then separated us into 2 vans as there are some people not staying the same hotel as us. Can u all imagine beside the driver and the tour guide seating the front seat, the rest of us - 12 people got to squeeze behind the van. Heng! Everyone is small build so able to squeeze in the van and the driver speeds so we able to reach the hotel in a faster time. Can’t imagine they can travel 120km/hr to 140km/hr in the road. Unlike us in Singapore, we sure kana “caught”. The first minute we get our room key [So outdated: not using access card] is to rush in and have a good rest. Cos we need to wake up 6am in the morning to the half day city tour and that means we got 5hrs of sleeping time… Tired!When reaching outside of our room, all of us start to do the same action: knocked the door and say something… as to let “that thing” know we are going in… Surprisingly, there isn’t any window in the room! No flask! The only water we can consume is from the fridge or from the toilet… I mean there is drinkable water tap located in the toilet. No much time to complain and then went to sleep… ZzzZzzz
Day 2:
Alarm rang~ and by pressing one button to make it snooze in ten minutes time, no more ringing and we back to sleep again. Whahaha! Our usual pattern…We start to wake up when it starts to “ring” again… We by turn use the toilet and the other person went to sleep again. Ha-ha! By 07:20am, we went down to eat our breakfast. So early but I too hungry so I don’t care how early that time is… I just want to grad something to eat. Lucky, the food they serve are quite nice and marvelous… No wonder so many tourists wake up so early to enjoy their breakfast. After breakfast, we waited for the rest at the lobby. Cos only got 8 of us going for the half day city tour, we can “skip” of sharing seats with each other. Due to going to temple, we are told not to wear shelves and shorts. And with this “wonderful” weather at Bangkok, we almost “burn”. To prevent this, applying sun block lotion is a must*1000000 to us! During the half day city tour, we went to a temple by taking the canal boat; saw those natives selling things to us on boat; kids jumping to the river/sea bathing; adults washing their clothes and use the water in the river to cook/drink and lastly went to GEMS Gallery. Our half day city tour ends when they dismissed us at Pratunam to pray and we went to Big C for lunch. We went to the food court to settle our meal. Surprisingly, we need to buy “coupon” in order to purchase our food. Anyway, the food is so delicious especially the gravy for the duck rice and most importantly it is so cheap!!! With 20 baht [less than S$1.00], u can buy one meal. Wow, that why so many Singaporeans like to go Bangkok for shopping, eating and enjoying.
After lunch, we seems “recharging” our batteries able to walk and shop till night. We went to lots of shopping centers like Big C, Bangkok Bazear, Pratunam Complex, Central World Plaza, Siam Center and MBK Center. Our favorite Shopping Center is MBK. Beside we can bargain the prices; we can also enjoying the aircon there. Can u all imagine the weather outside is 36-38 Degree Celsius? Since the rate at Bangkok is so low, the price of having a MacDonald meal is so cheap also, ard S$3.00. Quality still remains. Ard around 7pm, went back to our hotel cos we watching “Ah Gua” show at ard 9:30pm. We seem like idiots; trying to walk to our hotel we are staying. Actually, it is possible cos only 10minutes walk. But don’t know what happen, we walked to the wrong street … end up walking more than 10 minutes. Lucky got kind souls directing us how to walk or else we sure “lost” in that street. We quite relief after we saw Asia Hotel right in front of us cos we can’t imagine walking the street with not much lights on and with all unfamiliar faces looking at us. After watching the “Ah Gua” show, I can only say they are so “professional”. Some of them are much prettier than we gals, tall and “well- surgery”. Whahaha! Think only those have saw the show will know what I talking about… If not, u all makes a guess lor.
Day 3, Day 4:[Forgotten... Is all abt shopping... heez]

4 addition on my secret
Today is the day I went to Bangkok, taking 9:45pm flight. Felt so nervous and excited. Last few days, has arranged to meet some friends to accompany me go Queensway to buy a red NIKE shoe. Managed to find that same shoe after minutes of searching… [Cos I got poor memory only remember is red NIKE shoe]… Then, those people [Ronald, Kiat, Jas and Jp] kept “psycho” me not to purchase in Queensway…. Kept emphasis me can get it at Thailand at a cheaper rate… And kept saying is a just a minute of “temptation”. My God! In the end, went to settle Wilson’s birthday present at Queensway. Ha-ha… lucky got Jas around, if not we don’t know what to buy for him. He sure will like it even if we all people think is not suitable for him… Oops! Ha-ha…
Thought I can reach home at 7pm then rest a while waiting for Wanyi to go airport together. Then who knows… I rush like hell! After departing with those friends, went to change currency at Bishan. What the hell, waste my trip! The rate dropped! Last few days were 23.75 now 23.60… Even thought only a slight drop, but the money is not mine… so I called Jas who is at Kovan to help me checked the rate… Wow, the currency there really very high [23.73]… unbelievable rate at Shopping Centre; quite a reasonable rate… Then, I got to rush from Bishan to Kovan and back to my home at one hour time… End up, I got to run from Serangoon Mrt Control to my house cos Wanyi kept calling me asking where I was and her aunt was waiting for me. Managed to have a quick bath and went down to the bus stop to wait for them immediately. Think my neighbour was guessing what I doing kept banging the door and then rush to the staircase… Ha-ha! I really in a rush! While waiting for Wanyi to “fetch” me, saw Peixuan at the bus stop. We chatted a while and at first she thought I going to chalet cos of my luggage, Ha-ha! Unbelievable!!! Who will bring such a big bag to chalet…? Ha-ha… Btw, she so hardworking… taking so many part time jobs… Minutes later, Wanyi came. As her aunt didn’t live this area, she doesn’t know the way to airport. Worst still Wanyi also don’t know the way to airport and only can depend on me… lucky, me know the way or else we sure late for check in… He-he… such a waste I didn’t takes driving test or else I will sure take the driver seat. Whahaha… Wow, can say her aunt really a good driver; fast and smooth driver. Ha-ha I like it! Felt like asking her to race at that hour, but I didn’t dare to say that… He-he or else her aunt will think I’m mad. Minutes later, reach Terminal 2… Wow, after one hour I can taking the plane and way to Bangkok… That night, didn’t felt hungry at all even I didn’t ate dinner… Whahaha, maybe I too excited and forget that I didn’t eat dinner. Only ate a small bun where Wanyi’s mother brought it along. After eating the small bun and a bottle of mineral water, I was full -> really I’m full. Whahaha, and that sarcastic Wanyi kept saying in front of her grandma and her mother that is the way how I keeping myself so skinny. No, NONONO… is not true! She worst than me!!! Ha-ha just I don’t want to say only… Ha-ha… Before boarding to plane, managed to call my mum telling her I reached airport and promise will call her when I reached Bangkok… Bye, Singapore… my way to Bangkok when I stepping my each step towards to the plane… After reaching our gate, we got to go through another checkpoint. I was empty handed but when I walked passed the sensor, it sound. Suddenly, I felt so embarrassed. Then, I seems like a criminal need to lift up my hands, open my legs and let the guards use the “weapon” to “scan through” what I bring along and why it sound. Lucky, I didn’t bring any sharp weapon or drugs along, or else my reputation all gone. Probably is the belt I wear that give the signal… Haiz! Felt so embarrassed when everyone was waiting for me. Then, the whole group of us kana ‘scolded” by one of the staff before boarding to the plane. Asking us to walk faster; saying we are the last one and the flight is going off soon… Bullshit! We are walking very fast and yet that person said that…But you all know not, there are some foreigners much later than us. Don’t know if they were treated the same not. Now I understand there is such a big difference between Singapore Airlines and other airlines.

Supposing, meeting Wanyi at 11am. It was raining heavily then and we kept changing the time to meet. We met when the rain has become smaller. Went to take my 2nd chicken pox jab and it cost $66. Lucky, my mum is paying for it or else I surely heart pain. Didn’t know what happen to the doctor today… jabbed my right arm instead of my left arm; and he jabbed me until me almost scream out… so pain… as it hurts me twice. He’s so violent as if I was his foes. After minutes, pain was gone but still got a bit pain when pressing the jab area. Again, we went to Junction 8. Upon reaching, we ahead to FILS shop. While she was trying the slipper, something catch my eyes at that moment… saw a lady wearing a red NIKE shoe… Wow, the design quite nice and I almost fell in love with the shoe… After buying my friend’s slippers, I told my friend about this NIKE shoe… she saw it too and claimed that was nice. So we went to search the whole Junction 8 for that shoe… but I can’t find any. Intended to go Queensway, but I didn’t have the time cos I working at 4pm. Since the time still early, we went to Kovan to look for that shoe. Saw the same design at “World of Sports” and another sports shop; it cost $129 and $99.90. Decided to go Queensway on Wed to get a good bargain… Hehe… At around 3pm, went home to get my bag before working. So rush for me but I think is worth it cos I know what I want to buy, esp. shoe.
In the US, Mother's Day is celebrated on 8 May and was started when Anna Jarvis, a homemaker, organised a day to raise awareness of poor health conditions in her community - a cause she belived would be best advocated by mothers.
In the UK, Mother's Day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lenth as Mothering Sunday. As Christianity spread throughout Europe, the celebration changed to honour the Mother Church and by association, this soon saw people honouring their mothers as well as the church and the festivals became blended.
In time, people all over the world came to celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May.
The earliest Mother's Day celebration can be traced back to the spring celebartion of ancient Greece in honour of Rhea, the mother of the Gods.
