Second day in Bangkok with mom

We woke up early and headed to Platinum Fashion Mall. It is literally Chatuchak with air conditioning and naturally my favourite place in Bangkok.
We fuelled up with some awesome claypot beef noodles. Love Platinum’s food court! Cheap and delicious!

# – Yummy beef noodles. Tendons, liver, meat slices etc.

Then we shopped till our backs were on the verge of breaking. Decided to rest and eat more.

# – Deep fried catfish with vegetable and belacan dip. Fried quail eggs. Yummy yumyum.

After the break, we continued shopping until we couldn’t shop anymore…

Lugging heavy bags of clothes, we decided to get a taxi to take us back to hotel during rush hour.

3 taxis declined to take us before we got on a tuktuk which charged quite expensive.

He was driving about a km in when he asked us to do one “tourist visit” for 3 minutes. Flat out refused, he even offered to reduced our fares. We got him to stop his vehicle and we got off.

Finally we found a taxi which would take us. Still wasn’t an especially nice experience when your taxi driver kept making his annoyance known that you had gotten him stuck in a traffic jam.

Anyway we reached in one piece,  albeit over an hour.

Ate dinner,  we showered. Tried on our new clothes. Talked about who’s got bigger nipples, not me.

# – The loot.

Then we had a massage. Came back to snack in our room, watched silly reality programes on tv and now mummy sleeps while I blog this.

First day in Bangkok with mom

As you probably have known, am on holiday with my mummy in one of my favourite cities – Bangkok.

We are staying in the Sukhumvit area. Thought I’d try somewhere else other than Yaowarat aka Chinatown.

We arrived in the afternoon, perfect for a lunch of tender braised pork trotter, intestines and pickled mustard leaves with rice.

Found this restaurant while trawling a narrow foot path dotted with stalls.

# – Service with a grin is slightly better than service with a smile.

# – My perfect lunch.

After lunch, we bought more food; snacks for when we’re resting in our room. Saw this pudgy cat sleeping right at the front of a shop’s entrance #likeaboss

# – Comfortable.

# – We bought too much food for two.

# – Good thing about hanging out with mom…..access to properly plated street snacks. There were more food that’s not in picture :P

After that, we food coma napped for a couple of hours before heading out for oil massages. It was soooOo good.

Then we bought more snacks from a nearby convenience store. Then, we ate supper of noodles and mussel pancakes right outside our hotel.

# – Supper time! That is mummy waiting for our food.

And here I am now, lying in bed, digesting & blogging this post. Thanks for reading!

The subject of divorce

Even after almost a decade together, I still find myself learning things about my better half.

The day we stop learning about each other is the day we stop caring and that would be the end of our marriage. Just the thought of it is both heartbreaking and inconceivable.

I guess that too would be the day I die.

======

We had a huge fight recently and broached the subject of D. Before I continue, obviously we have sorted both our grievances out.

Anyway, after we made up, the hubs mentioned that he read something about men earning 17% more after divorce while women 11% less after divorce.

Then he smiled like a troll.

I told him if we ever split up, he better be earning 300% more to spite me because I’d land a stud that would put his net worth to shame.

He asked me how in hell would I be able to do that.

“Well, first I’d get fitter. Then I’d get a subtle nose job. Possibly growing my hair long again cause men love that sort of thing. A new wardrobe of course. All with the money I got from our hypothetical divorce and some extra aiding by my awesome personality.”
