four nites in bangkok & the world's not my kerang

Just got back from a 4 nites holiday in Bangkok yesterday. It was a family getaway & and for the first time, all three (plus one) went out of the country. I may have mentioned this before that the hubby hates flying & cannot stand being confined in a plane more than 2.5hours. And it may probably be the last!!

Altitude sickness, sinus giving problems - check. But that was within control. Scheduled tours - check. Disadvantage? Hubby didn't like waking up at god-forsaken hours, bathe quickly, chow down breakfast & wait for tour guide to arrive. Sigh....

But we survived the trip there. Nobody killed anyone. We went & came back in one piece. Tempers flared here & there but he soon came to his senses. Some things aren't supposed to be regimented. We are supposed to be on holiday. Chill lah...

All in all, it turned out alright. We each had our fun in our own way. We saw what we wanted to see, did what we wanted to do (and then some but of course..) & ate what we wanted to eat (or probably not, I don't know).

Of course he had to say "Next time, you must arrange one day to the palace, one day to the musuem, one day to the art center (or something like that) bla bla bla..."

My reply? "No next time. This is the first & the last we are all going together on a trip. Next time, it'll just be me & the daughter."

On the plane back home, he asks "So next year are we going to London to see (my nephew who is studying there & will be graduating)?" I simply told him "No, no with you our destinations are only restricted to (his hometown - this was meant to be sarky), Langkawi, Penang & Singapore".

He replied "Wah belum sampai rumah dah kena slap on the face"

Me said "Saper suruh tanya soalan bodoh..."
