Chiangmai
A blink and trip to Chiangmai was over. Brought daddy for this 4 days short trip as his birthday pressie. I am very broke and officially have become a pauper. But nothing to complain, as it's my daddy I am talking about. Living each day and enjoying while time permits. Money can be earned, not loved ones.
At the immigration counter of Chiangmai International Airport, I saw Sylvester Stallone passing through the priority queue. This 60 year old muscular and well maintained man was there filming Rambo 4. A good superstar surprise for my first trip to Chiangmai.
This trip wasn't all enjoyable, it was indeed a hectic and tiring trip especially heading up to Chiangrai. The to and fro 7 hours ride was extremely unpleasant for daddy, his head was dizzy and neck was aching. And his tummy was giving him problems, must be too much chilli. No wonder he was throwing tantrum at me but it was bearable for me. The only unbearable thing I couldn't accept was the people speculating if I was his wife/mistress/kept-china woman. DO I LOOK THAT OLD? *sigh* Must be my dark eye rings and curly hair adding more years to my age. No offence to China women, but DO I LOOK LIKE ONE? How is it possible, my dad my hubby? Heaven no eyes la! Daddy even rubbed in further by acknowledging I am one of his kept women! Laughing away and feeling all young again! Well, just it didn't matter much as long as daddy is happy.
We stayed @ Novotel, which was about 15 minutes drive to the night bazaar. Thank goodness the hotel provides hourly shuttle but then again we didn't have much time to shop around due to the packed schedule.
I managed to meet Max, my long time SG friend of 8 years who resides in Chiangmai permanently and also Eli, an aussie friend who has stopped his backpacking trip for a break @ Chiangmai. Great meeting you both. :)
Pure coincidence I met Sharrie who was on duty on my return flight. It's been at least 8 months long since we met (when RL was in town). Back to reality, being a broke and averagely paid worker slogging 9 hours each day. *sigh* I need a long and easy-paced holiday.
