345 - Nutella Coin

Guys, don't be fooled.

After June's tag of the mysterious "Nutella Coin", you must be like, wow, I never realised! (Or, you went like, "Okayy, whatever..")

WELL, DON'T FRET. Becauseeeeeee.


LO BEHOLD, THE NUTELLA COIN DOESN'T EXIST.

Yes, you have been FOOLED by FUNE FGIAN! ;D

Hahahahaha, yes, it's true. Deal with it.

Well, it goes like this. I read the comment and go like, OMG, WHAT THE HELL, I NEVER KNEWWWW. ;OOOOOO And I was like, really shocked.

THEN, I googled it! Nutella Coin. I tried the Web, Images (and saw some woman bathing in nutella...) and heck, I even tried BLOGS. But no relevant results. Er, no, this is not relevant.


I just realised that the thing she's holding is... Hershey's. Hmm, but it says 'An Ode to Nutella'. Oh, the mysteries of the Net. Anyway, earlier today, er, correction, yesterday (2.52am now...), I was talking to June, er, FUNE and asked her about it and well, since she seemed so confident about it so I thought, I guess I've been missing out on a lot, eh and personally, I think there are way too many commas in this sentence, hence, I should end it soon.

(Aah, I'm making so many mistakes nowadays - I think I'm ageing. I mean, look at the number of 'er's up there! Now I know how my mother feels.)

Then I told her that, well, what is this coin because, I've never seen it, never heard of it and I can't even find it on the web! She said it was under the cover thing. Well, being lame, having excuses for everything, I told her, weeeeellll, I don't open the cans, my mum does, I just eat the nutella and go, "Mm Mmmmm." And she was like, "How can your mum miss such a big silver coin?"

This went on until, well, she started to doubt herself! Then, she went to ask her sister, who is, apparently, the number one fan of Nutella. And GUESS WHAT? Well, her sister said, "Not that I've heard of."

WILL YOU BELIEVE THAT?? IT DIDN'T EXISTTTTT!! I even asked my mother. And she said, "Huh, what?" Hahaha, I love mummy.

Anyway, then she was like, Aaah, I fooled the world! Hahaha, I love Fune! Anyway, I'm just saying, FUNE IS A BAD CHILD, SHE'S OUT TO DOMINATE THE WORLD AND TRICK IT WITH HER EVIL, BASELESS STATEMENTS ;OOO

LOLWHAT NO LA, FUNE IS A NICE PERSON xD

I blocked her after our first conversation for fun 'cos she was irritating me and then I forgot to unblock her until today. I mean, yesterday. (AGEING) OMGOMGOMG, NO IT WAS THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY. AAAH, I AM LIKE SERIOUSLY AGEING. I NEED OLAY'S 7 IN 1 AGEING CREAM! And then she was like, "Hey, you're online! How rare."

Uh, no, I blocked you.

And then, sigh, she went on some screaming spree about how she was ever so hurt about how I blocked her for no reason.

Okok, public (omg, you know what, my ''L'' was acting up and I wrote 'pubic' -.-) apology: SORRY!

Er, however, yesterday (HAHA, I REMEMBERED) after talking about the fictitious (;P) nutella coin, I was like, YOU ARE SO MEAN (I forgot why) I BLOCK YOU.

And then.. well, I forgot to unblock her again... AAH, MAYBE IT WAS MY AGEING SYMPTOMS OR SOMETHING AAH I FEEL A SPASM COMING!!

Er, scratch that.

Anyway, life is good.

So was Bangkok. But... it was so... X-Rated.

O.O Yes, really.

3.15am

Anyway, it was like, I LOVE THE AMARI HOTEL. It's apparently very near the shopping district but well, the real shopping centre, MBK centre, was anything but near. As in, it wasn't extremely far but not as close as the hotel is described to be. However, there is a supermarket just outside the hotel, just like our NTUC.

And a night market along its road.

Unfortunately.

As I first walked down the narrow pathway, the first word I saw: PORN

In big, beeeg letters. And XXX

I didn't get the XXX part. I thought it was just like, PORN XXX COOLIOUS CHECK IT OUT! But later I realised it stood for sex.

And no, I didn't squirm in delight upon seeing it. I was in complete shock. Coming from Singapore, I was simply DISGRACED to even be there. I mean, okay, that sounded extremely snobbish but hear me out. It was... gross. In a way. 'Cos it was so EXPLICITLY said. Well, written out, actually. But you get my point. And worst of all, I was with my parents. Oh, save me from the embarrassment, please, I thought. And my sister, she was just telling me as we walked, "My eyes... just... popped out." I was like, "Hah...ha..." It was really weird, basically.

But that SO wasn't the end of it. I once counted the number of shops I saw selling pornography just in that long, straight path of shops and I got 14. Which is, actually, quite a lot. And we were frequenting that place a lot. I mean, we had to. They sold other normal buyable stuff too so yeah. Anyway, the figure doesn't include the number of places I saw selling Viagra, number of people whose gender was debatable (oh god, half the girls there were previously boys and it shows so obviously) and the number of girls who looked like prostitues to me. Oh, and the number of staues showing a naked woman. There was one where she looked, well, seriously horny and aroused and one where she was like a bathtub and there are many different versions of the bathtub one. You know, in different positions. Of all sorts. I only saw ONE statue of a naked guy. Wait, no, that sounds like I was searching for one. NO! EW. But I'm just saying. And... his face was in his hands and he was having some fierce erection. Ohgosh, I think I'll stop with the italics, it makes it worse.

Well, I guess you can say Bangkok loveees woman. Like, hey, even all the guys are switching genders, yeh?

So naturally, I was a bit scared of the people. Well, not the general people actually. More like the friendly people who would talk to you 'cos even the hotel had some warning letter thing in every hotel room about how friendly people are more like the conmen so beware. They kept emphasing how Bangkok was "however, much safer than other countries". Wow, nice try. Anyway, at the supermarket, as my mum looked through some stuff, I went to buy some bottled water (tap water in Bangkok is unpotable). Then suddenly some african guy (wow, I sound like Russell Peters ;P) was like, aah, hello! And he started asking all the introductory questions like, what's your name, where are you from, etc. And he's like where's your father?

In the hotel... Okay, like all the while, I was just like, -PLEASEDON'TRAPEME PLEASEDON'TRAPEME- Hardy har har if you say, oh, no one would rape you, I was just scared, okay! Then somemore he was like, whaat? pretty girl here and father in the hotel or something and I was like... rightt. And simultaneously looking for an appropriate time to get out of that position. Finally, I just walked away to my mum who was, thankfully, coming to my direction so it was like, I walked away to talk to her, not to ignore you hehe... And then he saw the both of us and was like, "Your mother? You look soo similaaar!" My mum didn't think that he talked to me just now, she just thought some guy was like taken aback by our similarity (which till now, I don't see) and HAD to tell us. Er, yeah. -.-

Okay, I'm sorry if I have offended any one, maybe from Bangkok, I'm just saying this is really what my experience was like. And I also apologise if I have spoiled your image of Bangkok - A Shopping Paradise! Well, truthfully, it's a pain to shop. I mean, it's a common fact that the things are overpriced and you have to bargain - nothing surprising in that. But, really, bargaining is such a pain and bother. And you walk out of a shop thinking, did I just get cheated or was it a real steal or is it the right price??? I mean, it's like, ugh, gotta have to bargain. Oh, and you're supposed to start by saying 1/4 of the price. Wow, overpriced, alright.

Anyway, the hotel was soo DREAMY. It's just 4 stars but heck, it's much better than the flat in Singapore, yeh? It was GREAT. I really didn't mind staying in the hotel for the whole day (hey, I had the TV) but, nah, I mean, come on, go to Thailand to stay in the hotel? My, that's just pathetic. xD

But something ELSE even MORE pathetic? Eating McDonalds in Thailand. I couldn't help it! I told you, right? The time flied there but it still feels like I've spent 3 weeks there or something? After 2 days, I was like, I can't take it anymore, and had a McChicken meal and a Hot Fudge Sundae with Extra Fudge and man, it was heaven. Fine, it wasn't two days, one and a half BUT STILL. Long enough! Haha! And they also had KFC - we had that in Pattaya. LOL I KNOW WE ARE SO LAME. AND WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY THAI FOOD UNTIL THE LAST NIGHT. WE EVEN HAD INDIAN FOOD! Gosh, really. ;D

Anyway, we shopped fairly... alot. It was ok. I didn't buy any undergarments like I wanted to, though. D: ER, TOO MUCH INFO? Haha. We went to the Sunday Market but didn't buy much except some showpieces and once we got to Pattaya, we realised what a big chance we missed. Really. We were SO dumb. I mean, that Sunday market was the cheapest place everr. But we didn't realise... D: And in Pattaya, we didn't really buy anything that WOWSOCHEAPP. It was either a bit pricey or a bit cheapy (?) or just right. Er, yeah. But not like, wow, that's unbelievably cheap. Sigh, nevermind! We can always try again later (IF, there were is another time we'll be going to Bangkok...)

Anyway, we left for Pattaya. Drove there by taxi, a three hour drive. My gosh, the exterior of the Garden Wing of our hotel in Pattaya (4 stars, the Ocean Tower is 5 stars but velly expensive too) is... magnificent. The ambience of the place is amazing, really. It's so beautiful. I felt like a princess or something. Ok, that just sounds really lame.

But it was like, really really really nice. Like really.

Aaah, it's almost 4am I should go to sleep soon! My laptop's charger was running out battery BADLY but my dad's using my charger and I didn't want to go get it from him 'cos I also don't want him to know that I'm still awake at 3.52am D: I mean, it doesn't matter that he's also awake playing chess, though. xD NO LA, I LOVE DADDY.

Anyway, Pattaya was really nice, especially the very nice beach. But the conditions of X-RATEDNESS were still the same except that it was much, much less. But it was still there. Enough for me to detect in the first, what, hour? Yup. Well, it's pretty obvious, so there. Anyway, I rediscovered my love for swimming when my sister and I went to the swimming pool just downstairs. Er, my sister got the flu then. NO, NOT SWINE FLU, NOOOO. But the common flu. And it was so bad and she blew her nose like, all the time until her nose started to bleed. So blood and mucus was coming out. Er, was that too straightforward and yucky? Sorry.

Anyway, I wanted to go swimming again the next day but since my sister had the flu, she had to stay in bed so OMG, the WHOLE morning and afternoon was in the hotel room and it was really boring. I had to kill time by sleeping. And Air Crash Investigation was only at 8pm, which, unfortunately, was the time of our hotel dinner anyway. Gosh, don't you just LOVE that series. Well, it's back by popular demand so that tells you something. ;D Anyway, I finally convinced sistah to go down and swim with me (well, she did say she felt better so whatever with that flu; I WANT TO SWIM {and heck, I can't swim alone, that's just so pathetic D:}).

OMG. THAT'S A COOL EMOTE.

D:}).

Okay, not cool anymore.

Anywayyy, (aaah, 4 alreadyyyy) we then went to swim in the real thing - tah BEACH. Woohoo. First it was me and my sister, then I convinced Dad to join us and finally, mum tagged along. We went reasonably far into the water. It was up to my chin and occasionally went to my eyes. Um, not a very good thing. Haha. And the salt water really burned on my superficial wounds on my elbows. You know how at the edge of the swimming pool, you put your arms on it and then you like stay that way, facing out of the pool? Well, the edge was so rough that I've got scabs there now D: Yeah... and so it really burned but nah, it wasn't that bad. So yeah. ;) I loved it when the waves came and I'd go UP and DOWN. Hahaha, it was great. Except this whole bunch of onlookers. Thankfully, I opted to wear some shorts over my swimsuit bleh.

Anyway, that night, we ate at the hotel and my dad just LOVED IT. Like really loved it. By the time we had settled down for dinner, it was 8.55pm and the whole restaurant was EMPTY. Well, those Americans do have dinner at like, 6pm or something. Wait. Actually, I think everyone does. It's just us. Heck, I had dinner at 12.30am yesterday. And that's like the next day already!Haha! Yeah, so I guess we're just late. But we were still like the only ones in the restaurant! So well, I guess you can say, all the attention was at us ;P They gave set meals and two of us took Western set meal while the other two took Thai set meal. My dad was very impressed by their cooking and at every dish was like, "ohmygod, THIS IS FANTASTIC!" Hahahaha. And we ended exactlyyy at 10pm and I had earlier found out that there was also an Air Crash investigation show at 10pm and so I RAN TO THE ROOM LIKE THE WIND, YO. And I panicked 'cos I couldn't find the remote and quickly got to Nat Geo only to find that.

I have watched it before.

Oh, the disappointment at that.

Anyway, it was great fun, overall. However, ugh, the flight between Bangkok and Singapore were EVER SO SHORT. On my way there, I watched the Curious Case of Benjamin Button. But it's a long movie and I was only half way done by the time they said that they were arriving. I was like, WHAAAAAT. NOWAI! But that's the way it was, sadly. I was like, okayy, on the way back, I'll just continue from where I left off and AMAZINGLY, THEY DIDN'T SHOW IT FOR THAT FLIGHT. Gah! So I had to decide between He's Just Not That Into You (129mins) and Confessions of a Shopoholic (109mins). The flight was 120mins. I figured, I should be able to finish Confessions, right? BUT, NO! Taxi-ing, taking off and landing took out SO MUCH TIME OF THE FLIGHT that in the end, there wasn't enough time to finish the movie! In fact, I had 30 mins left! Oh, and I really can't find a good quality movie on the net anywhere. Ok, fine, mediorce quality would work too, all the same.

Links, anyone? Lol. Anywayy...

Sinead Evonne Kimberly and I are newfound blog friends forever! That's BFF, by the way.

Go figure ;)

ANYWAY! I'M POSTING VIDEOS EVERY SUNDAY. Like amusing videos or something. Every Sunday! Yeah! And Russell Peters every Saturday! Like, not the EPIC video of 48mins like the other one, I bet no one watched it. But like, small clips of that. It's much easier to watch that the whole thing in one seating. Well, I think it'd be quite pointless to post the other RP vidoes from then on since you guys might just youtube him and get the other videos too. But it's something to post about, right? ;)

I LOVE ALL OF YOU! Hahaha, thank you for reading the blogggggg! Sigh, I feel so happy.

4.31am and I still haven't bathe. DON'T WTF ME!! I'M GOING. WAIT!

Love,
Sudesna
