Trial Stay at Oasia Hotel

Jerlyn got a trial stay at Oasia Hotel, its a new hotel that is under her company. So everyone in her department get a trial stay for one night at the hotel to test out and give comments of the hotel. So we decided to go down on Sat June 18th to try it out. First time we didn't pack anything for our hotel stay because it is at mainland Singapore.The last time we had a hotel stay in Singapore was at sentosa resort hotel three years ago when I proposed to Jerlyn. That time we didn't bring anything too, only the clothes on our back because it was a surprise for her. This time we didn't bring any clothes too because we are only staying for one night and we don't think we will go for the gym and the swimming pool so we only bring toiletries.

The hotel is really new, can smell the paint and the new furniture smell. I like the shower head, there the rain shower and the normal shower head. And the glass beside the shower can be seen through from the bedroom side. So your love ones can shower and chat with you while you lie in bed and see her too. The view was not bad as we stayed on the 23rd floor. I also like the blinds as there are two types of blinds, one to block all the sunlight and have more privacy and one to partly block the sunlight. The bed was good too, can feel the softness of the quilt and the mattress was not too hard or soft. These were the things that I would like in our future home. There is a lot of defects in the room, we wrote it down and hope they could fix it before the customers came and stay. I would not write it here since they are suppose to fix it. We simply laze around in bed most of the time and had our private moments.

Wow this GSS to this date, what have I bought till now? Think after two years in America I don't really wanted to buy anything in Singapore because I feel I had too many clothes. Most of the things I will buy now mostly will go online to buy it unless online doesn't have it. Anyway for this GSS, Me and Jerlyn bought a Asus laptop from the PC show. We shared the cost for this laptop because Jerlyn doesn't want me to always buy stuff for her and she felt that she had started working so she wanted to contribute too. Other than that, I only buy my favourite Skinxwear underwear. I only buy it once a year because one Skinxwear is not cheap and only during GSS they have discount. Thou it is expensive but the tanga briefs and the boxer trunk are so comfortable, even the CK boxers trunk that I bought in America couldn't compare to it.

Thinking again and again, and wonder its time to change my future. Met up with Cyndi on June 13th and had dinner with her and Jerlyn. She realised that I was not as happy as before. It was due to work and study. I really want to finish my study and hope that would help in my future. But work is stressful and there are not enough people to cover like last time. I know it is getting more challenging  now, but my health gave way when I had lessons for 3 weeks in the row with work. I am considering giving it up one. This was not my first time thinking about it, been thinking for months. I remember when in Avalon Airshow in March, a man ask me what position will I be when I was at his age? He was once working as the same organisation as me. This make me think and I know I will never achieve the position when I was at his age. (He was in his late forties, he left when he was 43 years old) So I gave myself a timeline. If I still can't cope with my studies with work, I shall leave.

Bangkok

3rd of June was my ENVS2630 test, 40 MCQ questions. Seem easy but it was not. Didn't study much because of my fever a week earlier. Anyway took a day off to study it hope that something can go into my head. Because of the fever, I think I lost some of my memories, can't seem to think of what I have learn. After the test, it was the Bangkok trip. Can relax for awhile before I start on my assignment again.

This was my third trip to Bangkok but first time going with Jerlyn's family and also going with such a big group. The last two trip to Bangkok was just for shopping and massage but this time Jerlyn's brother Jinson, added some sightseeing into our trip to make it different. Well first day reaching there, we went to restaurant to eat and then went for some night shopping at Pratunum market. It was quite late so most of the stalls is closing and we were quite tired so we didn't go for massage. Shopping was Jerlyn's priority in this trip while massage was my priority.

Second day we went to man-made floating market. We wanted to go to the original floating market but was told was too far. I think the drivers doesn't know the route well. At least Jerlyn found her traditional Thai snack at the floating market, if not we have wasted that trip. Went to two temples to pray too. The Buddha is really hugh. Shopping again at night to catch what Jerlyn have missed the previous night. After that was massage, our favourite Thai oil massage. The massage was good and I think their facilities and amenities have improve a lot since the first time I came to Bangkok in 2005 for massage. I remember at that time when having oil massage, they only give me a small towel to cover my family jewel. Now they have those disposable briefs like in Koh Samui for me to wear.

Third day was shopping all day. Went Big C, Platinum Mall, MBK to shop. Went to A&W to eat Jerlyn's favourite waffle too. I manage to fall asleep in the mall in the first time of my life while waiting for Jerlyn to shop. Never thought I could sleep in a shopping mall with so many people walking past me. I saw the guy beside me fell asleep, think he was waiting for his partner too. At night went to take their MRT which they call it BTS, to Chaopraya River to have dinner in a ship. Was quite unique but still prefer to eat my meal in stable ground. Went for massage again but this time was foot massage. The massage was not bad but oil massage was still better.

Fourth day was the day to go back. Met a taxi driver who knows how to speak English and know how to make business too. Next time when going Bangkok again can look for him. Even though we didn't buy much but we still go back with ten luggage compare to the seven luggage when we came.
