Continue to my previous story of my stay in Bangkok
It was the only day that no one went shopping. In the mornings, we went to Safari Park, and after that we went to this really nice hotel that also has a restaurant named Chocolate Ville. It's an outdoor restaurant, and they truly had put effort into building every single attraction. From buildings to the river. Buildings are made for attractions, although some can be dined in. They make it like buildings from the old times. The post office is an example. There's also a man-made river, that runs along most of the dining tables. They had ducks in it too. It was just an extra attraction. Nothing fascinating about it. The food was extremely costly. I could easily understand why, just looking at my surroundings.
The food was extremely appetizing and nice. The presentation was also magnificent. It was a very wonderful place. It was near Christmas, and it had so many extra lighting and decorations there. Santa Clause was having dinner there too! It was definitely a memorable place. After our dinner, we went straight back to the hotel, and went to bed. It was the only day, that no shopping was made.
Below are things that we did, but not sure how to fit into my blog.
We had a buffet dinner at the highest building in Thailand. Biokesky. Costed roughly 100 bucks per person. The diner was at one of the highest place of the building, having a panoramic view of Bangkok city. The food was better than usual outside, but not those excellently wonderful type.
It had a wide variety of food to chose from. There was even a clown there to entertain children. Drinks were not complimentary. It had to be bought. They do not serve any local food. Just other cuisines. It was a wonderful dinner.
We had this dinner at this place called Once Upon A Time. Nothing special. just a restaurant. It was different from those shop lots restaurant. It was like home-based kind of thing. Nothing much.
The zoo presented the largest herd of giraffes in the world. 250 of them. First time seeing sea lions, and it was at Safari World. Sea lions are very big. So much bigger than I ever imagined. Like the size of a smaller elephant, but still very very big. The fangs could easily kill any animal in any universe.
SUMMARY:
What I really don't like about Bangkok:
The streets are filled with people.
The main roads are very hard to cross.
The streets have weird smells.
The streets and malls are extremely low class.
The place feels weird to me.
#Don't think it's because of it's low class, because I've been to Vietnam, and I'm very okay with it.
The streets are dirty.
The clothes on streets have like no sense of fashion. (Most of them)
What I really like about Bangkok:
The really nice zoo that makes human in the cage while animals are free
The service they give at almost all business making places.
The hotel I lived in.
The food. (Only some)
The design of clothing of branded clothing.
eg: Nike&Adidas. Better than my country.
The price of candy in 7eleven
Their McDonalds.
#Right Price. Good Quality. Delicious. Attitude of workers.
#So so so so much better than my country's
Any other things that's more expensive than their local average priced products. (Except candies)
CONCLUSION:
Will I ever go to Bangkok again?
Yes, if it's with family, and I have better things to do most of the time.
eg: more tourist attraction things than just street shopping. Bangkok is so big, there should be more interesting things than just Safari World. Right?
No, if I have nothing to do there, like just go walk around.
Is Bangkok a good place?
Yes, if you don't expect too much, and if you're okay with low class things.
No, if you prefer higher class things, like Singapore standard.
Was my trip worth it?
Yes, because of family togetherness. Could have gone somewhere better than Bangkok.
More blog awaits! Stay tuned!

December 29th 2014
It's been a while since I blogged. I apologize for that. I have been lazy lately. I went to Bangkok, Thailand on 15th of December. It was not as good as I expected. I do not want to go again for no reason, unless it changes tremendously.
We first arrived at the Berkeley Hotel, and it was excellent. To be honest, it was one of the best there, under the affordable prices of normal residents of Malaysia. Everything there was good, from head to toe. Even the lobby's toilets has a big chandelier! The toilet wasn't big, despite how many people go to the lobby toilet at the same time. My brother and I shared the same room, and my parents and my little sister shared one room. The room was just like any other average hotel room. Well at least it's not like those filthy cheap motel, it's good enough for me, and my whole family.
What else to do in Bangkok, besides shopping and eating? So since we have roughly four days, we didn't rush on anything. I went to the malls nearby, and they were all so terrible. I just feel very uncomfortable in all the malls I went. I'm not sure why though, but I will not go any of them any more, except one. The only one that I like is because they sell world-wide branded clothings, and other things. It was named Central Plaza. Other malls sell EVERYTHING LOCAL. As my brother and father didn't like shopping nor window shopping, they didn't like any of the malls.
My brother had no interest in anything, so he just follows anyone that needed follow, like me. My father preferred the night market. Which is basically locals selling local clothes on local streets, at night. Which I have no sort of interest whatsoever. He bought like 2 shirts total. My brother, throughout the four days, bought nothing in Bangkok, except for a pair of shades. I bought one too. It was selling on one of the streets, on a sunny afternoon, when we just walked passed it, on our way back to the Berkeley Hotel, from Central Plaza.
My mother. She went shopping non-stop for four days. I have no idea why. I don't know what else I can say for my mother. That's it. She likes shopping.
I remember this one day, that we went to the local zoo-like thing called Safari World. It was amazing. The first thing to do, is to take a ride, in the bus, through the big piece of land, where lots of wild animals run freely. All of them are plant-eaters, that's why they're allowed to be together. After it was the zoo-like place. As usual, it consisted of animals in cages or their own fenced territory. There's some things I like very much about it is that it was very very clean, and there's no bugs or mosquitoes flying anywhere. Also, toilets are not far away from each other, they have toilets everywhere. There's also signs to show you which animal is located at which location. Super convenient. The food area that sells food there are at very good prices too. Some zoos sell really expensive food. There were some shows to see there, and they were all very very fascinating. It was very very well done. It took half a day for us to finish the Safari World. It was one of the best zoo, I've ever been.
That's it for now. There's more of Bangkok that I have not explained. Maybe I'll continue on next time. But I promise there will be more stories besides the Bangkok one in the future.
More blog awaits! Stay tuned!

December 12 2014
It's been nearly a week since my last blog. I apologize for that. I did not have the mood to do any blogging. I recently (December 9th 2014) went to a book fair in a mall with my mother, my brother (Joshua), a friend (Lim) and his mother. It was suppose to be a wonderful day, until Joshua made my day a bad hair day.
It was promised that Joshua, Lim, and I would walk together through the book fair, since he said he had nothing much to look at. Also that I have no phone, Lim has no phone, and only Joshua have a phone that can contact my mother and Lim's mother if finished. Turned out he ran away, and left me and Lim together. Lim is only 9 years old! I have to take care this kid that runs around EVERYWHERE, and I'm not good at walking for a long time.
When Lim finished looking around, we found Lim's mother, and he gave her his books. Lim and I got hungry, so we went to eat upstairs. When we came back down, Lim's mother weren't at the spot when we left, and we couldn't find her anywhere. We got worried, and we decided to look for her, even outside the area of the book fair. We went on searching for her for approximately 1 hour.
I got tired of searching, so I decided that I would just sit at the exit of the book fair if anyone of them appears. We ended up sitting there for 1 hour and half. All thanks to my brother. He was supposed to follow us. I was bent out of shape because of that. Finally Lim's mother appeared, and she called my mother, and we went back home.
When I went back home, I blew a gasket. My brother knew where his mistake was. Trust me, this is going to happen again. It happened a few times. He just abandons me, and runs off to somewhere else. Either in a mall, or in a crowd. He just doesn't seem to care.
I obviously hope that would never happen again. But, I can only pray to God, and wish that he hears my message. Joshua had this habit since young.

December 6th 2014
It's been a while since I blogged. I apologize for that. I have been busy lately. As I mentioned earlier that I would be going out with two of my best friends Milly & Carmen to Sunway Pyramid on Thursday (4th December 2014). Turned out Carmen's younger sister (Joey) went too.
It was a rainy morning at 11:00 o'clock , when Milly's Mother came to fetch me. We reached there at 11:30 o'clock. We immediately went to meet up with Carmen and Joey at and sat down at a cafe. I was like a dog with two tails when I finally met up with everyone. Carmen and Milly had a brunch and we had a chat. It took us half an hour, but it seems quick.
Off the girls went to shopping after their brunch. Well I'm the only boy there, so I had to wait outside the shops they went. I didn't quite mind waiting for them, because the main reason I came out today was just to meet up with my friends. I was glad seeing Carmen and Milly having their whale of time. As for Joey, she waited like I did for most shops, but not all. She's not such a girly person, that's why she doesn't go all cray cray about it. For some reason, we did not talk at all. Shops by shops we passed, and we just wait in front of the shops for Carmen and Milly.
Ten minutes before 3 o'clock, we went to the cinema hoping to get movie tickets. Unfortunately, the queue was so long, it would take us a donkey's year to reach the counter, so we decided not to waste any time. At 03:00 o'clock, I got hungry and they were too, so we went to this Ramen Noodles restaurant, and we ramen noodles, and had a chat. When we finished our conversation, we couldn't believe our eyes, when we looked at our watches that we passed 06:00 o'clock.
Bowling? Nope. Ice-Skating? Nope. Cinema? Nope. Continue shopping? YES! Carmen and Milly went shopping...AGAIN. They sure love shopping. Before we had out dinner, we took photos together! Joey was seriously not interested, so she wasn't in any of the pictures. It was my first time using Instax camera. It was a polaroid camera. It was certainly unusual.
We went for Sushi for Dinner. As the usual, we had conversations. Halfway through Carmen and Milly's conversation, I was cut to the quick, and I had tears in my eyes. When they asked, I did not bare my heart to anyone that time. They probably figured out and changed conversation. They never continued to ask me since I did not want to. At the end of the meal, I paid for Carmen, Milly, and Joey. They tried to pay me back but I rejected too.
After the dinner we went on our way. Carmen and Joey continued their shopping with their mother, whereas Milly and her parents fetch me back home.
Although I was bored to death when the girls went shopping, but overall it was still pretty great seeing my friends. I hope to come out again next time. They thought it was a great idea too, but not at Sunway Pyramid next time. There's a lot of malls here.

December 2nd 2014
I ended up sleeping for the whole day of yesterday. Literally. Woke up at 6:00am. Sleeping time continues: 9:00am - 11:00am, 3:00pm - 6:00pm, 7:00pm - 7:45pm. Then went out to have dinner with my daddy at a food court. In between my sleeping time, I ate, studied, and worked out. Great.
Today will be the last day of my 4 day of home alone. Daddy's study course ends today, and my brother's mission trip ends today. My grandma will be back from Spain on Thursday, December 4th 2014. It sucks being alone at home with pretty much nothing to do.
I was over the moon when it was confirmed that I would be going out with two of my best friends Milly & Carmen to Sunway Pyramid on Thursday. I felt down in the dumps when another best friend of mine named JiaQi told me she wouldn't be able to join us, because she has work to do. I felt quite sorry for her also. I hope there will be another chance.
I finished my chores, and I will continue my studies and working out. I really hope my grades will improve, and well of course muscle growing too. Today is pretty much just an ordinary day. Nothing much special. Oh right!! My father said that he himself, my brother, and I will be having dinner together. Ain't that great? I hope it will end up fantastic.
