BSN lao behhh

So freaking (not gonna use the four letters word start with F and end with K anymore. Great Tiger said that a proper girl should never ever use such an foul word) tired today. Urghh. Hate the feeling when your whole body is so damn aching to go to bed but at the same time the mind is so actively working. Such an imbalance body. Woke up at 8 in the morning to follow Mum to work. Yeah. I wanna to close all my inactive bank accounts. I think it's stupid for whoever who came up with the idea of finning those who have a year of inactive bank accounts. Or maybe perhaps they just wanna swallow the finning charges which is RM 10 into their bloody big stomach? How the hell are the poors suppose to deposit money in when they don't even have enough money for their living??? ! And so let us define again the definition of "BANK". Is bank a place to keep money only? Why can't bank generate at least some income to the poors. See it from this point of view. A poor family deposit RM 100 each year (the money probably was from ang paus or smtg). And each time the family has some money left to keep, they would bank in the money. Over a year, I believe the family would gain some extra few cents as their interest. Well that's better than nothing right? And even if the family doesn't bank in any money for the two years period, they should still be able to gain interest from there. BUT the bloody person is so stingy and selfish to implement such a rule that those who have an inactive account for a year period would be fine RM 10. Like the hell I still wanna keep money in the bank. Rather than having the banks to eat my RM10 each year, I rather keep it at home, under the bed or smtg.

The task for the day was to close the Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) and Maybank account. Both are government based. =.= And so with high spirit that I can at least hold my money in my hands, I went to BSN to shut the account. And one more thing that I hate the most about banking system these days are they are NOT giving ACCOUNT BOOK or PASS BOOK!! How the hell am I suppose to keep an eyes with the money matters? Do you really expect me to go online and see my statement from there? Lets just say I'm so stupid. I'm afraid that one day there will be virus entering my lappy and take all my banking information and swipe all my money off. Seriously, I don't trust virtual world with my money in hands. Please la, even if you're trying to save the trees, no account book is a no no. I'm sorry. I can't accept that. I want and love to see the money that I've kept. The joy of seeing the numbers on the book increasing over the years because of your hard work and good financial planning is something that some people just don't understand.

To BSN we go! While waiting for my turn, Mum asked me a question that I find difficult to answer.

Mami: How much is in your account?
Me: Err. I don't know.
Mami: This one no book right?
Me: Yeah. Freaking lao beh. Then how now?
Mami: Let's so check the statement from the machines.

And so we checked that I have RM303.87 and RM 0.50 was charged for printing the statement. Really money eating bank. Everything need money. The reason I'm so eager and determine to close the account is because they're charging me RM 8 every 6 months (I think) for the ATM card I'm using. Like the hell. That card serve as an emergency card only. I don't think I use it before. And each 6 months, you deduct my money for something that I don't use. Isn't it very stupid? Of course I care because this is MY money. Really mine. From my angpau, my saving and all. It's all mine. And for that reason only, I have all my rights to close down the stupid account. And so we went to queue again when the tickets officer asked why am I closing the accounts. AS I LIKE LA. I WANT CLOSE, I CLOSE LA. It's mine account!!

Ahh. And the queue was so long that Mum suggested I withdraw from the ATM machines. If I withdraw from the machines, I WOULD LOSE MY RM 10 because that's the minimum amount. And I don't wish to keep any money there! And so it was finally my turn after a decades of waiting. I realized the officers there work real slow. Perhaps in their mindset, they was thinking this is a govern bank so want or not, people would still come nevertheless the service! And so they chit-chat, goyang punggung and typing slowly while I'm tapping my fingers impatiently while standing at the front counter. I'm moments from exploding. And when I got my balance, I'm far to angry that I'm speechless! I've only gotten back RM290.90. Where is my RM 10?? No doubt it has been eaten up by those money-eating monster! After decades of waiting, I only gotten back the same amount as I should be if I were to use the ATM! Feel like a slap on the face for being too stubborn!

GO DIE LA YOU!!!

 

Since it's almost lunch time, we headed back. Maybank shall wait. Can't wait any day longer knowing that every moment spent, they're trying to suck my money dry! Popo is not around. My favorite chef is at Singapore visiting her newly born grandson, my stranger cousy. So I went and bought fried chicken for the 4 hungry ghosts at home and even cooked rice for them. Heh. They have no right to complain bout my cooked rice. If they're so fussy, go cook yourself la. But anyhow, the rice cooked was perfect. Not to lembik nor too hard. Just fine. =D Mum came back from work for lunch before me and Tigress followed her again coz Tigress wanna buy sport shoes. And the whole afternoon flew by. By the time we went home, it's already 6.30 pm. I guess I'm really happy or in a good mood today for my temper to be in checked.

 

After having small portions of dinner, I drifted at the sofa for less than an hour. LOL! I can't really sleep with dirty and smelly body. And so I went up to my room to realized that there's no electric. The hell? Am really mad that time. Complain that to Mum that she's like huh huh. I guess she's very tired too from the whole day working so I managed to figure it myself. I was in horror to know that someone has enter the house to fix the electric when me and Mum are not in. The worst thing is that we don't even know who is that! Shall gave a piece of my mind to Mousy and Tigress tomorrow. I meant, they're at home and so free yet don't bother to know what's happening. Just know how to sleep. GO BECOME PIG LA!!!

 

Me wanna become piggy now

*oink oink

 

XOXO~

 

Floating Market & Chatuchak - Bangkok Day 4

It's Saturday, 14 December! After our 3 days of non-stop shopping, we decided to go on a long and dreadful tour around Bangkok. Zzz. The sound of it made me yawn already... We've booked the tour at the airport which cost Mum THB 2,500 for the four of us. We've agreed on Floating Market and Chatuchak weekend market. We woke up as early as 6 in the morning. Our tour guide, Mr Jack waited us at the lobby 8 sharp. From there, off we go to the Floating Market in some rural areas that name I can't recalled. And the journey took us 1 hour and 30 minutes. Shame to say but the 4 of us lied flat asleep during the whole journey. Well, once in a while, Mr Jack would explained the activities of Thai out there to us. What facinitaste me the most is how salt is processed. Acres and acres of land are used to takung water under the hot sun to evaporate sea water to produce salt. God know how long does it takes for the sea water to dry completely. Thailand really have lots of land for this. I'm also amazed by this little knowledge told by Mr. Jack. According to him, there's two type of coconut in Thai. The young coconut and the older ones. Young coconut are made for drinks becoz they are sweeter while older ones are processed to produce coconut milks which are crucial ingredients in curry. Hahaha. We don't even bothered to drink fresh coconut there coz we've already have abundant at home.

We reached at what I believe to be Damnoensaduak at 10.30 in the morning. We were served with fresh coconut as welcome drink. LOL! It's a waste. Haihh. We only took one and shared it. Here's our reaction to our very first taste of fresh coconut in Thailand.

Hmmm

 

I'm also not very sure what kind of reaction is this

 

Mami first taste of Bangkok's C-O-C-O-N-U-T

 

Mami said this is too DRAMATIC

 

Protesting deeply inside >.<

 

Mami with Mousy *quacks quacks (teasing Mousy)

 

Mata sepet gurls!!

 

Love the sight of the lotus

Dad would love to have this

Waiting for our turn!

Excited!!

 

Our beautifully decorated ride for the next 90 minutes

Wah. Really beh tahan Tigress leh. Photobomb my photo with her phone!

 

In case if one haven't figured out, this is Tigress way of taking photos.

Having her face cut.

-___-

 

Mami and Mousy!!

Not forgetting our personal boat driver for the day!!
 

Thru our journey to the floating market

Locals do their daily activities all by river.

It explains why the river is so damn dirty

 

Greenery is just what we need after 3 days of shopping

 

A tour around coconut sugar farm is what we missed

Decided that it's too boring..

Skipped!!

 

Selling and buying all on the boat!

 

Elephant head in 3 sizes. So cute!!
They would definitely suit to be in our living room

 

A beautifully painted piece of art
Personally I love the fishes going in circle

 

All kinds of colorful spices to spice up your life

 

All iz done on the boat.

Which include EATING!!

 

I guess Thailand is so famous for their coconut that they have lots of coconut shell

to be thrown each day. This is just the best way to recycle the coconut shell

rather than dumping it in the bin

 Thumbs up!!

Haih.. There's just a pro photographer. So no pic of me

 

Most shops along the riverbanks are selling souvenirs and miscellaneous stuff

 

Sipek cute hor? Blaming it on baggage weight.

We have no extra baggage weight for this.

Our boat driver kept stopping at almost every stall by the riverbank and the seller would temp us into buying stuffs. Here's a tip. If you're not interested, try tell them 'mai ong' which means don't want. It works for me.
 

Tergoda see so many kinds of fruits!!

 

 

It started to get crowded



 

Enough of talking
Pictures flooding time!!

 



 

 

We're reaching the main area of the floating market

There's just so many floating market.

Damnoensaduak is the most popular floating market in Thailand

 

 

This is seriously yummy!!


Local delicacies

 
Pokok kelapa, pokok serbaguna!!

Hehehe. So cute seeing they passed food to the buyers in the green basket, hovering around

  

While we're in the boat under a canopy, the aunty here is right below the hot scorching sun trying to row her boat around hoping to find some livelihood to bring home for the family for the day

 

Someone's hungry
Tigress was staring at the Chicken wings like a tiger preying on its' prey

 

Fried, oily food is always the best. Gonna cry once I'm home...

 

 

I love how the camera is able to capture the ripples of water each time the boat speeds. All the lazy girl did was putting all on Auto mode and just click click!

 

While enjoying the cool breeze, the splashing of the water on your face really dampens one's mood
The thought of how dirty is the water just ....
 

Nice chalets! Too bad we were just passing by.

 

When I retire, I shall stay here for the rest of my days....
Long way to go, Karen!

Temple that almost mistook it as a palace..
I love the idea of being in a country which it's citizen practice deep Buddhism
I'm amazed how devote is the devotes are
 

 

Can you see what's under the water?? See carefully!! Open your eyes bigger!!

 

Can you see it now??

 

Our kind and most handsome boat driver bought us fish food to feed the fishes. How nice of him!!

Sakai Tigress feeding the fish! I don't know where's my pic of feeding the fishes. Can't find it anywhere. Crying soon. ='(

 

Pattern tuo tuo!!

 

Poor hungry fishes. It's weird coz the fishes are no where to be seen except the particular area near the temple. But no, they are not in any cages or anything. They're free to swim around but they still remain at the same spot. STUPID FISH!

 

End of our tour at the floating market!

 

Mousy and her lotus. Was forced to capture this for her. Huff

 

Thanks to Mr Jack for this photo of us four.

 

Urmm. The floating market was a little disappointing. I expect it to be very big and packed with tourists but it is not what I expect it to be. Perhaps, I had put my expectations up too high. But then, Damnoensaduk floating market is the most popular in Thailand. So blame who? On it's so popular name or me here who expected something much bigger? From what I see, it's more like man-made. Everything. You can't see river banks coz they are all covered up with bricks and cement. To say that I don't enjoy, it would be a total lie. I enjoyed a lot la especially the eating part *grins We really enjoyed ourselves with the experience of sailing through the market. It's a nice experience for newbies but to spend another 90 minutes to the floating market, I rather not. Our journey from the hotel to the floating market took us 90 minutes and wasted another 90 minutes going back to civilization. It's a waste of time if you don't plan your schedule nicely. There's elephant trekking nearby so you might one to include that in your what-to-do list too. So bo tai travelling so far just for the floating market. Oh and please refrain yourself from buying souvenir's there coz it's very expensive than other places outside. But if you're rich and don't mind about the tiny cents spent, you might as well as buy it. It's their source of income.
 

NEXT STOP, CHATUCHAK WEEKEND MARKET!!

 

Aah. Roasted pork is love!! Well, it's a little expensive. THB 100 for 100g!!

Mum bought 200g in the end coz we don't eat much at floating market and

by the time we reached Chatuchak, it's already 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

 

Mochi everywhere but still love the traditional ones selling at Kampung Cina

 

There's only two reasons for us me to convinced Mami to Chatuchak.
First, it is the largest night market in Asia and we've never even been there!
Second, I wanna get something for Xiao Ai. Days before I've already checked the map of Chatuchak market, locating the pet section


Tigress can't stand the cuteness of the puppies!!

Pets section are located at Section 19 and Section 13.

 

Such a cute Holland Lop

 

I believe this is a squirrel

 

While we're having spasms due to cuteness overload, reality hit us hard when we saw this

I believe all rabbits and guinea pigs here are dehydrated and they are looking very sick.

Now that I realized, what's the pink liquid there hanging in the drinking bottles?

 

I believe neither me nor Tigress expected this sight to greet us. Obviously all the puppies there are underage and are not suitable for selling yet. I bet they haven't even weaned yet.

 

May not have any experience dealing with sugar glider but this is way to small to be sell

 

Mischievous puppies
Reminds me of those Xiao Ai's puppy days


Happy puppies makes me happy too

 

Well, at least this shop is selling happy puppies. That is all that matters

 

 

I'm not sure what breed is the dog but me just wanna have it in future

 

I just love how fierce the dog looks and his sitting posture. With an intimidating looks, he sure is playful enough. Hehehe

 

Thou I'm not a fan of Bulldogs, this fella here has captured my hearts!

 

Sugary drink are put in the cylindrical containers and is spin around few times to make popsicles!

Nothing special with the popsicles but it's an experience to gain
It's only THB 15


Selfie with our popsicles!!

 

Capturing precious moments while resting under the clock tower.

 

SEAFOOD + Fried = CHOLESTEROL

 

If you're wondering what's in the big wok, let me tell you. It's squid's eggs! And the hell, I don't know where they that that much amount of it.

 

Hungry now!!!!!

 

Frankly, there's nothing much to buy in Chatuchak. Hmm. The clothes here are not that cheap either. If you're already in the wholesale center, I don't think the clothes here are much to your liking. Beside from buying souvenirs for Xiao Ai, I don't think I wanna be back again. Yeah. We managed to buy collar and treats for Xiao Ai. Trust me when I say there's so many kinds and shape of treats to choose from. It's Doggy Paradise! It hurts both me and Tigress knowing that they are selling young puppies to people out there. The temptation to buy all the puppies really eat us. We wish deeply for the puppies to be in good hands. I believe here's the place for Malaysian to buy puppies and snuggle them into the country as they're much cheaper here than the ones bred and sold in the country. Believe it or not, it's only THB 350 for a Shih Tzu pups. To say that Xiao Ai is beyond lucky to have us. Always the best for him. Best food, best shampoo, the best of everything.

 

 

Except for the phone cover, they are all bought at Chatuchak. The red Mickey collar is THB 20, the blue one would be THB 50 with leash included and the bone is THB 35.

 

And my boy is so happy and satisfied with his souvenirs

 

And for future reference,

 

The map of Chatuchak!

 

XOXO~

p/s: Yes. I reupload the pictures again. I noticed my pictures always went missing after a while which is kinda sucks. On the side note, we're going BKK again next week! Excited to the max!! BKK is my second home!
