Khao Yai - Bangkok June 2016 part 2

Here comes the second stay in Khao Yai which was the most comfort stay throughout the trip.
It was a very nice castle which imitated the Thame Valley in England.
I can just stayed whole day inside the castle, strolling around it.

At night, we went to a museum which they displayed most of the old school stuffs. 

                  

So, here comes the end of the trip in Khao Yai.
Even though it may not be the best place to visit but still it was a great experience indeed.

Khao Yai - Bangkok June 2016 part 1

Super old post here, but it's ok, I just wanna record down some memories.

I always have this spontaneous urge to travel to somewhere. Due to the budget restriction, I have not much choice. During that time, there are lots of people talk about this place, Khao Yai on Facebook. So, Hannah and I decided to give it a visit. Then, we think since we will be landing in Bangkok, why not we stay there for few days, too. So, there comes the Khao Yai-Bkk trip.

Lemme have a brief intro about Khao Yai according to my first expression.
I feel like it's a lot like Hua Hin, because most of the tourist spots are artificial buildings that built imitating the European's style.
Honestly, this doesn't catch my attention anymore.
My main purpose to visit Khao Yai was hoping to see the golden field of sunflowers. But, we were totally let down by knowing June wasn't the season.

Anyhow, I still impressed by the hotels/ resorts over there. Even though, I don't like visiting tourist spots at there but for the accommodation part was a great experienced.
Before booking the hotels, we both find it really hard to decide which hotel to stay because there are a lots of hotels which are having nice architectur and the prices are reasonable!!

First day, after landed at the airport, we met our rented car with drivers. There is a must to rented car best with driver in Khao Yai because you don't really see public transport at there and the roads are dark during night.

Both the drivers are men. Maybe because of the security awareness, Hannah and I were actually kinda worried both of them are some bad guys but luckily the whole trip to and fro Khao Yai was safe and sound.  

For the first night, we were staying at this place called Casa Montana.

At first, when I entered the camper van, I actually felt it was a bit shabby and old. 

( and narrow, of course! )

Don't have quite a good impression on it, but maybe because we reached there late and tired 

and it was raining.

But during the next morning, the view was looking great from the windows.

Anyhow, it was still a great experience as I have been wanted to try 

staying a in camper van long time ago.

Cute watermelon grown on the land. I was kind of surprised when I saw it hid under the bench.

Not forget to compliment on their free breakfast set. 

The best ever free breakfast that we had tried during the whole trip.

Look at the generous amount of jam that the owner had given us, a whole small bottle!

And how considerate that he served us milk, juice and plain water!

Left: We were choosing to have breakfast at outdoor to enjoy the greenery but then it rained. Sigh!

Right: Then we moved inside and we had flat lay!
(So yea, you see God closed one door but he opened another)

Best ever breakfast still, as we enjoyed one meal at both indoor and outdoor.

Then, we checked out and visited to 'Palio'.
The real Palio is in Siena, Italy.
So, here is just a place for people to take plenty of photos and some souvenirs shops for tourists to do some shopping.

Next destination, The Blooms. It is kinda like Cameron Highlands where they planted a lot of flowers.

We had our lunch here. 

Ordered quite a lot of food, the glass noodles kinda impressed us with its spiciness 

as if the chilies padi are free.

Literally every bite of the noodles caused our lips burnt.

Optimism

Last day of Lunar New Year and fire crackers everywhere since morning.

Okay, wake up! Gonna be good and good will comes.
Been telling myself, I gonna learn and be strong!

I gonna be the one who shines like few years ago.
Been setting plank and squat challenges for myself.
It feels good when you see your target is getting nearer.

Always believe that when you look good, eventually things around you will be getting better and better.
And I'm gonna meet someone better!

Yep, year 2017 gonna be one of the great year!!

Do you love your job?

I wonder how many of you out there who loves your job so much?
So far I haven't meet anyone who is so passionate about his own job.
Either he gets a really high salary, but he is with heavy duty or he is being relax but gets low income or he gets a job but worrying of getting fired.
Well, I know hard works get pay off.
Guess nothing is perfect, it is so true!

Everyone is working for living, we all know without a stable income you can hardly have a comfortable life.
You want to eat good food, you want to buy nice stuffs, you want to travel to places or even if you don't need all these, you still need a shelter and there you need to pay bills.

Some change from this job to another to get better offer, better opportunity but they don't enjoy working.
I wonder those who always say hey be happy everyday, do you really feel happy when you need to go into the workplace that you don't really hate but you don't like either?

I envy those who can turns his passion into a job. Seriously, it's being real cool.
But how many of you get to do that?
I don't mind if I need to work for a long hours if I'm doing something I'm happy with.

What if I'm not a teacher, what would I be?
Sometimes, I think about this. (actually is every years)
Would everything now become so different? Yea, from every single aspects.
But, is a waste of time thinking about it as times don't turn back.

People would tell you to go ahead, chase your dream, quit if you don't like it. Do whatever you like, that's your own life.
I have been thinking about it, I'm not bold enough, I'm living in comfort zone, I can't not taking care about parents' concern. Sometimes, I hope I can be more rebel and have more courage to be more daring but still parents is the barrier that I can't cross over.

Traditional Asian parents are sick, sometimes especially their perspective in independency and financial.
If you are being stubborn, they feel sad and worry, but if you obey them, you get stuck there by yourself and you still need to pretend that it's ok mom and dad.
When you tell them your opinion, they deny all by thinking you're immature and literally you're stupid because they actually wanna live in comfort zone, too.
They can't bear to see their kids fail. That's the point! Failure is disaster for them.
So in the end you think you love your parents by not wanting them to worry about you, you keep quiet and this is the most stupid ever decision.

When can I be set free? As age grows by, you have even less courage to pursue your initial dream and in the end you work on something you not enjoyable until your pension.

Let's see if you have fate in your life. This is a bullshit, I remember an Eurasian told me so.
I got a bit offended when he said so but later on I envy this man who is bold enough to go after his own life. Isn't it true? Why do you need fate? You chase after opportunity, not sitting there and hoping someone comes to help you.

So, what if you have sick traditional minded parents, too? You really need to find something else to make sure you're not tight down by them 100%, at least the other 50% is control by you, that's why you see some people behave differently when they are out of home.

Sigh, sigh, sigh! Not that wanted to spread negative vibes, just when you can't tell them, you gotta write out to vent your emotion so that you'll feel better.

New beginning for 2017

Hi year 2017, you have no choice to not entering another new year, to get old, to undergo new challenges, to get the same old shits repeat and so on.

Last year wasn't a worst year but not a good year either as I finally learn how to cry.
Why? I shall just keep it myself.

Found that as age growing, friends start to become less dependent and feel more comfortable to stay alone.
Was used to be the one who always ask friends to hang out, but recently realized that am I actually bothering them?
I need to learn to be doing things alone, too.
I need to find something to do instead of always bugging friends to accompany me, I guess.
But, I still prefer companion.
Two is always better than one.
Kinda understand why people who lives alone usually having a pet dog or cat now.

I might be surrounded with a little bit of negative vibes, but I'm trying to come out from it.
Forcing myself to be positive, to believe in hopes, to look better.
Not gonna drown into the negativity.
I'm going to make sure I always look fabulous and I wanna make sure friend who lose passion in life wakes up, too.

Yea, so I started this year with a new hair colour.

          

Purple hair! I've tried red colour during last year.
I definitely know both colours don't look presentable on me especially in my field and my working environment. (fyi, not even one colleague is dying her own hair, I'm always stepping the border line.)
At least I'm not rebellious till to dye rainbow colours.
I don't care, we only live once.
I just wanna try doing whatever I can as there are already a lot of restrictions in ma life.

Social media sometimes bring 'bad' influences.
Why?
Because you gotta see how people enjoy life!
For certain extend, I would to say money can buy happiness.
One of the goal in year 2017 is do a lot of saving, so that one day you gonna travel to some places to create memories with your loved ones.

Bye shits!
Good vibes please!
