あひる温泉別館

So, the email which I longed to receive finally came, but the content was not what I expected, and I barked again.  After three hours from that, the project has over finally.  My two-hours massage physically made my body light though getting massage wondering my work wasn’t my plan.  As for dinner tonight, we went to Taling Pling meaning Star Fruits with my hubby’s colleague.  It was a fancy Thai cuisine restaurant which was a different from the street stands and street restaurants.  One of the beauty of SEA and I guess it’s our advantage of being there as Japanese is that we can experience the variety of the lives there.  My day was closed with a sweet yellow mango and a grass of chilled white wine.

One more email to receive to switch off my connection with work.  Though my plan is going to get massage with a burden-free mind once I receive the email.  However that email doesn’t come..  It’s like an oasis which looked so close, actually is far from me.  After walking in a couple of stores checking my email every five minutes,  I ended up sitting down at a cafe until the email comes.  Give me a break soon, people!

So, as I denied to use the term “all set”, I still have a duty to drive my work no matter where I am.  Making my team to complete their tasks by harsh words and chasing them until the date changes to keep the schedule, I feel like a sheep dog now.  Still, a lot better than being in Tokyo.  After having a good breakfast at hotel looking over a city, my hubby and I worked all morning in our room.   Then, as he left to visit the partner’s office, I closed my PC and came outside to fill my stomach.  Street stand last night gave me braveness to try a variety of local food.  So I decided to have my lunch at one of the popular noodle shop for locals.   My lunch was Kuai tiao, rice noodle soup with pork liver and fish balls.   Though I am not a big fan of liver, theirs was not so stinky and easy to eat.  80 bahts including fresh orange juice satisfied my stomach well.

Lack of sleep always causes migraine.  Thanks to my mighty pill Rizatriptan and an hour of nap at hotel revived me.  My trip this time is with no plans, except for dinner tonight.  I’m lucky to have a cousin who works in Bangkok, she kindly took me a dinner.  As our first choice was closed due to Sunday, we ate at a street stand nearby.   Having spicy Thai food in heat mingling with locals which was completely another world for me was exactly what I needed to forget my life in Tokyo!   Needless to say, food there was good and reasonable, and girl talk is always fun as you know!

Sleepy but cannot sleep…
Guess what, I have just made a new experience.  In my first time, I used a LCC between the choices of flying to Bangkok via Beijing and a LCC direct flight.  Did I make a right choice? – Yes.  Thai Air Asia was almost the same as Full-Service-Carriers except for no free drinks&foods, no sheet choice and no entertainment.  My favorite movies/dramas downloaded iPad was helpful and a seat in my next was open luckily, so got an aisle w/o extra charges.  
Well, With LCC or FSC, nothing can change my habit of not being able to sleep on a plane…
