bangkok 17 oct 09 – day 4

Breakfast was settled at the hotel and we went back to the room till late morning.

We decide to return to Central World and have the boutique check the watch that Mike bought the day before. We suspect that the watch’s battery is dried up, hence not moving. The day was spent in Central World, and I managed to have my waffle after all, at Haagen Dazs.

After collecting the watch, we decide to head back to the hotel. We had lunch at the Beer Garden, and spent the rest of the day in the hotel.

When we have nothing else to do, I decided that Mike needed a new wallpaper for his newly ‘customized’ sparkling blueberry. Previously, it was just the plush meow, which I ‘forced’ him to keep as wallpaper. Now, it’s a double nightmare for Mike! He is constantly terrorized by the images of the wife and the plush meow..hiak hiak hiak.

What can I say, most Thai women are demure, and soft spoken, it’s easy to get influenced, or at least try to fake it when you stay there even for a couple of days. Right, surely for my case, it’s a denial kicked in when my bio-number took a flip in the page, so I’d probably try to discount the actual bio-number by acting cute in the photo. wahahaha

At evening time, we decided that we were not going for dinner since the late lunch was still full in the stomach. We challenged each other with bejeweled and watched Notting Hill on the telly. Suddenly, the bell rang. We were rather puzzled because we weren’t expecting anyone. When Mike opened up, the team of 3-4 hotel staff started to sing birthday song! One of them was carrying a plate of cake with a lit up candle on the plate. What a pleasant surprise! I was asked to make a wish before blowing out the candle. It’s very sweet and thoughtful of the hotel staff to do this for the guest, and I am not even the principal guest!

I am truly moved by the nice gesture.
