Trip to Bangkok

A long long awaited trip.

Wic made me realise. That ive never blogged about dear phyllis.
Phyllis. The bestest galfren EVER.
That stood by me no matter wad. And wen i said that, i seriously meant that.
Loads of people have left, especially when i dont respond. When i hide in my stupid hole, and isolate the whole world.
She stayed.

We'l blog about phyllis another time.

For now, about my bangkok trip.
Lets see. The most fun part was the company.
And a long awaited talk with phyllis.

Loads of eating, drinking, shopping, chatting.
But wad i most remember about the trip tho, was this.

We were eating by this side stall. When i saw this.
大象。In fact, it was a 小象。But you cant expect me to say that, can you? I mean, can you try to imagine me pointing to something behind you and say 小象!
You probably wont believe me.
So for that few seconds, i was thinking to myself, should i say : 小象, 象 or simply 大象?
Verdict. To make sure everyone understands me, i pointed and said. 大象!
No difference. Phyllis and alvin sure didnt believe me.
They were sitting facing me, and definately could not see it coming.
So then, curiosity got the better of phyllis and she turned. Yep, its a 大象 alright.
Tugging hard on alvins sleeve (who still didnt believe me), she finally got him to turn around to see this 大象 wic was actually a 小象.

Well, that would have been it i suppose.

UNTIL.

The man with the elephant was holding a pack of goodness knows wad and gesturing wildly. With some panic in my voice, i asked alvin wad he was talking about. (he was asking if we wanted to feed the elephant for 20 baht)
I so definately did not want to!
However, the people next to me wanted to. WHY! They were locals, why do they wana feed the elephant la!
You must realise, that im not afraid of elephants. But i honestly dislike getting dirty. I mean, if it was a planned day to the zoo or stuff, i can take it. i mean, if its a day for getting dirty den okie. But NO. I was planning to get a massage after dinner, no getting dirty.

So anyways. The ELEPHANT. used his trunk to pass my back. To get its food. AND. blowed AIR (i hope its air) right across my back. (okay, air from the nostrils are so definately unclean.)

So the locals had a great laugh at the gal who was screaming hysterically right beside them because the elephant came by. I totally didnt care.
Someone had to wipe off the wadever was blown on my back.
I was so totally grossed out.

Next, the massage.
It was an oil massage. Normally i wouldnt have done it. Im pretty particular about anything thats supposed to come on my skin. And oil. Is so very. Oily. (HA)
But it can be borne with. No problem.
Ive become so unshy i realised. The light in my 'cubicle' was spoilt. And this lady had to leave e curtain half open. I risked being seen. Naked. (but i dont tink anyone did, not that they would bother anyway)
Okay, it wasnt that bad. Seriously. Being seen by others naked wasnt that bad. Being touched by a lady all over wasnt that bad too.
Up another level in my tolerance.

Plus. Street food didnt really give me tummy upsets. (i didnt dare to eat much)

And. Ive proven. Im so totally Miss Lame Queen. Oh wait. Queens are to be crowned (according to alvin). So im Miss Lame wadever.
Just. Try me. I have the flattest jokes and riddles ever. And i probably can guess your flattest riddles ever. Ask Raven. I tink he wans to kill me.

I guess dats about it. Of cos i bought myself loads, (trust me) LOADS. of lingerie. (enough for a week plus)

Ah yes. Not forgetting, that more people have realised that im little Miss Anal about everything. Who leaves her shoes before stepping into the hotel room so i wouldnt dirty it. Who washes her feet everytime she comes back into the hotel room. Urm. Okay, ive borne with food on the bed and stuff i guess. And okay, im not a neat freak. Just. A cleanliness freak. I very much prefer to be nice smelling and clean. All the time. If possible.

So yep. Thats my trip. Holidays always seem so short. But im satisfied.
Loads of misses for someone whilst i was away.
So there. Im home. And loving it.
