11 days of being a semi-vegetarian!

WAHAHAHAH..i know it has ONLY been 11days since the day i stopped taking meat and fish. BUT   i feel so good about it. seriously now i do not have any cravings at all for my favourite duck rice,KFC, Macdonald and some of my all time fav SUSHI(swordfish,tuna etc) . in fact,now i am happy with just eating veg, prawns,clams and cuttlefish.oh well, baby steps.. hopefully some day i can stop taking seafood totally. it will be an achievement for me. lol. and i appreciate some of my friends who accommodate my change of diet by not eating meat as well when dining with me. really "gan dong" (meaning i am touched).haha
anyway i found more articles about turning vegetarian. hope it benefits you (those who been reading my blog) :)
in particularly, i found this veg starter guide prepared by the international vegetarian union. i think they put up a really useful guide. i print screen parts of the guide that impact me the most.

This guide also includes information about what happen to the livestock and fishes (how they are breed and slaughter) that we have been consuming day in and out. didn't wanna post it here because i know not everyone wants to know the ugly truth of these animals' living conditions.

then i found this paragraph written by a singaporean. hope it makes u think twice before u thought of eating shark fins again.



been eating more salads lately. :) hehe hopefully can really lose weight as well. lol.

We should be thankful of what we have.. ( Instagram photos)

i was fortunate enough to have someone on my flight to bombay who was kind enough to let us tag along with her to an orphanage near our hotel. the trip to the orphanage was so emotional that i almost tear, seeing the conditions of the environment that the kids are living in just make my heartache. little gestures from us like buying them sweets, taking pictures with them already made their day.
the time that i spent at the orphanage instantly lifted up my mood, makes me feel so so much better about the life i have now, and am so thankful of it. sometimes, we really need to take a step back from our life and go to places like this to let us realize that relationship problems, stress from work and other setbacks we have in our life is nothing compared to what these kids have to go through merely just for survival.
we should be very thankful of what we have now.. .. there are worst things happening to other people around the world.

Day 2 : Platinum mall, Asiatique and Route 66
the second day in bkk was packed with lots of activities. i think we are  just too crazy to want to visit so many places in one day. we were so beat at the end of the night.


breaky at starbucks before we start our shopping craze at platinum mall!

i looked so happy lol. cause i am eating my fav corn! haha

and the shopping starts... i managed to get most of my loots here... i guess this is still the best place to shop cos it has got air con!! haha




this is so cute right. the displays in one of the shop and they sell pretty cheap clothing like 100 bhat per piece.


then after the shopping , baby shirley brought me to try this famous wanton noodles near the mall. i must say it is really good, but the portion is really small . i think i can like have 3 bowls of it.lol.

and u can choose to have crabmeat in it.



then at night, we headed to Asiatique for dinner. it was my first time there after hearing so much about it. there are some pretty cool small shops and restaurants in Asiatique, nice little place to explore. The place is good for a relaxing evening, listening to live band and have some wine and food. :)

we had our dinner at checkmate because they have got live band!












then we headed back to hotel and get changed for party on a monday night!


halloweennnnnn

the lighting is so happs!!

Route 66.


Partying in bkk is just so fun! Beautiful ppl, great music, plentiful of boozes and mad dancing! the night where i forgot all the troubles. just for one night.
thank you baby shirley for being so sweet throughout my time in bkk. :) hehe
