Life's beat & rhythm

Well this is my second day I have been staying here. This is the day that I would never imagine. I woke up lately, like in the 9 or 10 am in the morning. I just felt tired in that time. When I was half asleep, I heard my friend were already awake and doing something but I just couldn’t open my eyes, because I was too tired. So I continue to sleep. When I woke up, earn was leaving already, she had to go to work, while Yok was still sleeping. I did not know what to do in this day, but Yok told me that I could go to MBK shopping center to buy some souvenirs  after that we could meet up to see her friend’s graduation. So after I woke up, I decide to take a bath and be ready to go to MBK. I decide to go there alone, because I didn’t want to wake Yok up.

I finally left this apartnment. One thing I remembered I should do was walking along the street to reach MRT station. I already remember how the MRT station was so I walked along the street while looking around. It was a great city. It was crowded like in Indonesia, they also had a traffic jam but I just like the way they take care of their city. All is clean and beautiful. Finally I arrived at the MRT station. They actually have the same system like in Malaysia, but the difference is the MRT uses coins while train in Malaysia, uses cards. I always love using this kind of train. they all are well-organized and it really makes everything easy for tourists. We can see many kind of signs in English and they all are really detail that it wont make you lost.

I always love this moment. Walking along the street alone and see many new things around. My mind was just elsewhere and totally free. I could daydream about anything I want, I could have a quality conversation with myself, oh sometimes I should backpack to somewhere else all to myself. It would be so great.

After arrive at the nearest MRT station, as Yok’s commands, I should go to Si Lom station to reach the BTS station and stop in national stadium to go to MBK shopping center. Sometimes I was confused about everything because it seemed really new, and it’s kind of weird when people tried to talk to me in Thai because they thought I was thai girl. I could only say ‘I am sorry, I don’t understand’ and left. Sometimes I kept thanking to God everytime I found people who could answer my question in English. Some of them tried to ask me where I am from, how long I have been here and so on. People must really say that this is the land of smile. 

I finally arrived at MBK. At the first time I didn’t know where is exactly the MBK. I just walk along the street and tried to find some sign written in English. But still I couldn’t find the MBK. In about 100 meters, I saw mcd. I decided to have a brunch there because I had not had the breakfast yet. After having the brunch, I decided to come in to the mall where the McD is, and stupid me, this mall was actually the MBK. So I came in. 

It was a very very big and crowded mall. Many tourists are there and there are also a lot of thai souvenirs. I was so excited. I walked from one shop to another to see which one is cheaper (my very typical ;p). I bought some Thailand small notebooks for my friends, and also small Thailand purchases for .. well I don’t know exactly for who, but I was gonna give them to some people. After that, again and again I couldn’t take my eyes from bags!. There are a lot of discount and I just couldn’t write down to explain how I was so excited about the prices. Most of them are cheap, even too cheap. I bought two bags from one store, one for me, one for my mommy as a present for her next birthday on 24^th September. So I really have to keep it well. ;p. I also bought the purchase for my father as a birthday present also on 31^st august. After feeling enough to buy things, finally something made me interested a lot. ANOTHER FASCINATING BAG and they were only 199baht. I finally couldn’t help it and bought one for myself.

After a tiring shopping activity that hurt my feet a lot, I met up with Yok to go to her friend’s graduation. We walked from MBK to her University ; it was actually not really far. In the outside of the university, we could see many people selling gifts for the graduated students, such as flowers, dolls , even car police number look-a-like. They all were cute and I think this was the difference between the graduation here and in Indonesia. They do have a lot of things to be given, LOL.

It was very crowded in the graduation. The freshmen of this university travelled around the campus to cheer their senior in a very funny way and after that they could be paid by the senior  they were cheering to. It was awesome. All of the girls are absolutely beautiful. They consider the graduation day and wedding day the day they should be as beautiful as they can be. I really love the atmosphere. I accompanied my friend to see some of her friends in their graduation day.
