Change

Image
Change whether big or small, is inevitable in life. With each change comes challenges. It doesn't matter...What matters is how we deal with these changes. At the end of the day, we always have a choice. Whether we want to run away because we can't cope with these changes, running away because your comfort zone is taken away from you, running away because you don't feel safe anymore or simply moving on to better and greener pastures. Our natural defence mechanism will spring into action to react to whatever 'threat' that comes our way. But what appears as threat may not be so...Look at it differently as it may be a blessing in disguise. It's Allah's way of tellling us to slow down and to take things one day at a time. And enjoy the calmness before the storm. And pray that you'll be ready when the time comes. T o my friends who are embracing changes, I wish all of you all the best... Zaida,Faiz and Mokhtar.. I will miss all of you..Keep the feel go...

Chatuchak Market was...hot, wet, warm....tiring...Sounds good?? Hahaha... For all it's worth, the market is interesting with all the goods that you can think of. And I only walked through, I think less than a quarter of the market area. If you are looking for household, home decor items, this is the place to go. But also think of how you intend to ship back all the items. Jumpa Eric Leong kat sana. Bila akak tegur dia, muka Eric cuak seh..."ish, ish ada plak orang Malaysia nampak aku kat sini..pecah lobang beli barang murah kat Chatuchak"...hehehe Also clothing, accessories, food, fruits, knick knacks...mak dengan bapak jer tak der ok! Bought Anuar's his silver bangle siap engrave nama tau...ear-rings, t-shirts, hubby bought original (katanya) Levis's, table runners and memacam lagi lah. Bila muka semua dah layu letih semacam barulah gerak balik. Took the MRT from Chatuchak Park straight to Sala Daeng station, and then a cab back to Silom. Black...

Salam. Tak sempat nak sambung blogging kat Bangkok... Busy tau..On the third day in Bangkok, our day started with our quest for breakfast. We took a cab from Silom to Pratunam Center. Were told that there's a Muslim restaurant somewhre in the area. A check on hubby's blackberry revealed that the restaurant called Mak Yah's Restaurant, is right infront of this hotel called Samran Place hotel. When we asked around a few people they told us to walk straight ahead, not far katanya.. Mak Yah Restaurant We ended up walking for more than 2 km before we reached the place. Phew...matilah orang Bangkok kata tak jauh jalan 2 km.. Macam nak pengsan seh..peluh-peluh macam work out hebat!! Brunch was not bad...worth the walk. We lepak there for almost 1 hour before taking a cab back to Pratunam Center, where we walked around aimlessly. Shopping mall macam a sorry version of Shah Alam Mall. Itu pun, Abang Jamal tetap juga gigih shopping for these army stripe pants and all things army ...
