Back from Bangkok (again)

Seems like time passes really slowly when you're waiting to go embark on your holiday but speeds right by you when you're having the actual holiday! We're back from Bangkok (yes, again)! Didn't shop much this time round. Booked day trips to Siam City Park (an amusement cum water park) and also another day trip to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market (again), the Samphrant Elephant Park and Rose Garden. I can only say that if you follow a tour, you see nothing but what the tour guide allows you to see. If you want to spend more time enjoying the place, then pay a bit more and go on your own. It does cost more to go on your own but ultimately, you get more out of the place. We were pretty disappointed that at the Rose Garden, we were only given enough time to run in to watch the Thai cultural show and run back out to head back home.
How dumb! Who wants to travel a half day just to watch a 20 minute show and not be allowed to explore the beautiful grounds? We did go to the Dusit Zoo on our own. Tried to enjoy the animals but as a Singaporean, you can't help but keep comparing it to our own blardy 'nicer' zoo (which WE CANNOT AFFORD TO VISIT!!!)

I didn't really shop much this trip. Let my kids spend most of the moolah. Daughter's headed to a new phase in her life now that her 'Os' are over. So figured I'd let her do the shopping instead. Couldn't resist 2 handbags for a steal though (S$9 each!) and had to get my replacement stash of dull, black, office skirts (S$12-15)!

Like I said in my previous post, I'd cut my hair real short just before the trip! Hate to use hair styling products on my hair but with short hair, I really have no choice but to. Hubby likes the funky look. Me? I like that I use very little time to wash and dry short hair and the cool wind blowing down my neck but I do miss my own hair blowing in the wind. Sigh. But really, decided to cut it short cos long hair seems to weigh a person down the older they get. Unless you have a lot of time to blow dry and style it every day.

Think I've lost a bit of weight in Bangkok from eating less meat and rice! I should live there!
