10.03.2020, 8.30am, Kim hotel

Tired even after short partying, the 4h hike in the hot sun is no joke.

Time to plan for the day.

5pm is boarding time. So to be super safe, get on a bts to mo Chit by 2.30pm, then you will arrive by 3.30pm latest.

So now is 8.30am.

Pack and move out by 9.30am. Walk to the bts in front by 10am. Take train to phaya Thai. Switch to Sukhumvit line.

Take from nana to phrom phong. Its just 2 station away. You want to party or eat, or just walk that’s fine.

From phrom phong back to mo Chit Station is 13 Station so that takes 40min estimated. I found this high regarded place, Breakfast Story.

Grab the latte style, regular milk.

Damn, the fruit French toast suck balls. No more French toast for me. Stick to meat dishes when in Bangkok.

Current plan, walk over to orchid Spa, ask for the milky massage, if don’t have then go back to the Japanese styled one. Prob left 1h or something, take some photos in EmQuartier then head to mo Chit. Then take the busses.

Took the 2h, should be done by 1.40pm. Remember to take the chargers. OK, everything done on time. Tried to meditate but weird thoughts came in, pushed it away slowly.

Walked back to EmQuartier and took some pics, walked the mall a bit.

Took the phrom phong bts sharp at 2.30pm. Reached mo Chit at 3.00pm. Walked down and waited for the A1 bus at 3.10. Arrived at airport at 3.30pm. Ate a pork rib noodles and its now 4.00pm.

Got some ice cream after immigration. On the plane now, it’s 5.34pm.

Going to gear up and try the 1h meditation in the flight. While letting the phone compile the video.

Video finished. I’m in the air now and just finished the meal, it’s 6.43pm Thai time. Eta when land its 7.30pm, so 8.30pm Malaysia time. Take a grab, it’s 9.30pm home earliest. Still has time for 8h sleep.

Some hold up at the immigration, and some time spend waiting for the guys. In the grab now, eta 11pm home.

Bath, open pc 10mim to check kingdom. Hit the bed.

09.03.2020, Phu Kradueng, early

Woke at 6am. Pack and rearrange stuff, if there is no porter, then throw the damn slippers.

It’s 7am now, at the first restaurant waiting for breakfast.

Started hiking from the center around 8am, and hit every stop center, took some photos and reached down at 12.10pm. Lye Kit and Kim passed me by on the way down.

Took a bath at the public toilet then hang out at a stall, got a frappe and downed chips and instant noodles. Van guy arrived at 2pm sharp. We arrived at the airport at 3pm, no jam and uneventful, the way I prefer it.

Now we are at a somewhat nice restaurant. I ordered a steak and a carrot juice. Let’s see how it goes.

Finally got my card back. Thanks to Lye Kit for letting me make the calls else need to top up.

Drop the stuff then head out at 8.52pm now. Heading to nana. Feels like a flu coming, need to pop an ibuprofen and some claritine later.

Also trust your instinct. If not feeling well, take the windbreaker.

Stopped at nana Station around 8.30pm, walked the street a little then decided to eat at the Thai recipe or something, quite a heavy bill, a roasted pork and Tom yam, and an orange juice.

Hit the woods bar, hmm, got a nice one then topped up for the service. All done. Then moved on to nana. Hit the weird ass rainbow next to spanky… Dull. Then hit the billboard. Good stuff, regret didn’t ask the really pleasant looking one.

Finally head home and reached the hotel at 12am. Rest a bit and slept around 12.45am.

08.03.2020, phu kradueng, early

Woke up at 630am, had breakfast at 7am, a simple pork noodle made with the instant soup.

It’s 7.38am now. We got bought to the room, prepare some gear and move out. Then we got to the bicycle shed and took our time to choose one.

Around 8.30am we moved out. We hit a Buddha shrine first, then a mini waterfall but it has dried out. The team explored elsewhere so I got separated a while. Just sat and expressed what I feel.

Then we head on further into the cliff sides. We visited around 4 cliff in total and at the last one there is a shop selling drinks, so I grabbed a gatorade.

We headed back to the center, placed the bike and selected a restaurant, it’s 12.20pm now. The weather is getting quite hot up here as there’s no cloud.

We ate then hang back at the room until 4pm. Then we move out to the info center and then grabbed the bike again. Started moving out around 4.30pm. The ride to lomsak cliff is 9km.

Finally reached there before 6, stopping at most stall with water.

The sunset is fine, not too epic or anything. Had a good time with the gang. Then finally did my first time night off road. We got back to the bike shed at 7.30pm.

Then we walked to the restaurant and played with a deer for a while, had a nice selfie.

It’s 8.10pmnow, we are waiting for the food now.

Got back to the room… Wait for everyone to bath, then it’s my turn. It’s already 10pm, time to hit the bed.

07.02.2020 Don Muang Hotel, early

Woke up at 6.30am automatically, bath, packed then ate a dorayaki. Hangout with Kim and Lye Kit for a bit at the breakfast area.

Walked to dmk, captain strayed negotiating with the counter lady around 8am.

It’s 8.15am now and Lye Kit still negotiating on the phone, hope it all works out. Or we will use the backup plan and top up for air Asia.

Nice, manage to pass the checkpoint. Got my stick yeah. Eating at this coffee club place. We paid the bill at 9.10am. Used the washroom and now waiting at the wait area. Its 9.23am now.

Waited at the bus for quite a bit, now in the small plane. Its 9.56am now.

Got on the plane, uneventful but that’s fine. Reached there on time at 11am. Lee and Lye Kit still negotiating with the nok lady to get our return flight confirmed. Hopefully they manage to do it. Its 11.30am now.

We managed to get a full replacement flight. Got into the van, it’s 12.20pm now.

Reached the national park, paid the entrance and got the insurance all around 1.30pm. We started hiking before 2pm. I didn’t put anything with porter.

Did a tough hike that took nearly 5hours. Shot a lot of video on the way up.

Got to the center by 630pm. Ate around 7pm. Then. Back to the room by 8.30pm. Slept very early without chatting. The bed was tough and I woke up a few times. Woke up once around 5am to take a leak.

06.03.2020, erawan early morning.

Wake at 6am, warm up, brush teeth and bath, drink the milk and eat the breads. Wear the trunks over the underwear. Wear the ankle support then shoes.

Take the charger and cable and out back in same place. Powerbank temporary shove into bag.

Move out at 7am. Nice place, lots of fishes. The first 4 levels are easy with proper path. The 5th to 7th are hiking trails with a bit of rock climbing. We had the 7th level all to ourselves when we reach there at 8.30am. Played with the fishes and just bath there until 9.30am. Came down and reached our rooms at 10.20am.

Cleaned my pants first then bath, and chilled a while on bed. Then got dressed and left 11am sharp.

Walked out to the center and got into the car, it’s 11.25am now.

We ate at a very nice restaurant with a sweet landscape. Around 1pm we ate.

Then we went to river Kwai, damn hot.. Its 2.24pm now. Heading back to Don Muang Hotel.

Finally reach the hotel around 6.15. We got a bit of a crisis due to the nok air cancelled the flight, Lye Kit is trying to save the situation by telling us to contact nok Air and get a replacement flight. I spent 5min with Lee and Kim Hoon and got the green light by captain to go. Left hotel around 6.45pm. Tried to contact miso earlier but seems she’s busy and couldn’t reply. Oh well, going straight to nana. The fee is 313 plus 80. So 400baht, that’s rm50 to go city. Let’s make it count.

Got to nana at 7.30pm, too early they only start at 8.30pm. Walked down the road a bit and got a massage for 1h. Quite good. Then got back to nana and the guard asked for thermo scan, dammit.

Started out at spankies, got lucky and asked the dancer to come down, got her a drink. Sat for a bit more until I got pressured, then called the blond haired girl, quite cute in close range, very nice features. A bit shy though, surprisingly, asked me if I want to bar fine her. But when I asked her if she liked Chinese or something she didn’t reply properly I guess. Asked the mamasan if credit card accepted then she said 10 percent charges. It was a bit of a difficult decision to make at the point since I will be paying 400 to 500 more on the spot.

Lesson here is, if it’s a decision that has certain difficulty and its the first time encounter it, do not make the call.

Visited the top bar to look for the girl that looks a bit too good. A slightly meaty girl asked me to get her down and she worked her magic on me immediately. Another lesson here is,do not make a decision when you feel good. Especially when you’re feeling really good. She said the right stuff, shown interest, doesn’t matter if its fake or not, it’s good persuasion.

Lesson here, go to doctor wood and get it fixed first then go to nana unless you have serious plan to bar fine.

Went home, bought the beef sticks and mcd and took the grab home. Reached hotel around 11.20pm. Ate, pack some stuff and hit the bed by 12am. Woke up middle of the night due to thirstyness.

04.03.2020, office, early

Wake at 640am.. Abs workout and bath. Go to office for half day, don’t mess up. Reach office at 8.15am not bad.

Ask lily some questions on the func spec update.

Whoa, actually got a good response from lily. She guided me through the checkout process and we confirmed that I can give the abap the incomplete document for estimation. Have a good chat and understanding.

Mind a bit fizzed after that. There’s another ticket that going to explode soon. Informed Alice about it.

So 2 things to do. All the incident have replied.

Check on the abap completed that was replied to me yesterday.

Quick reply on the 2 report comparison. This haven’t happened, do it when back.

Check the other cr that will explode. Done. Checked out all the 3 documents related to cr. 1 is pending me to test, the other is pending abap development. The last one is pending estimation from me and abap.

Asked bren for help, he informed me that they used the code in the middle to represent smart form or sap script. Sf is sap script if not wrong.

Updated the Google sheet with dates and details. Left office at 1.20pm. Home at 1.40pm,bath and eat at 2pm.

Leong seng came and picked me up at 4.10pm. Had a long chat with him all the way to airport, good trip. Got my. Luggage checked in, hope no problem.

Tried to looked for Starbucks but it’s closed, replaced by Costa coffee in the future. Had a double mushroom at burger King, then tried the massage machine. Really need to use the one at home more often. Suddenly got a call from Lee, panicking that the plane is here already. Well I’m very clear that 869 is boarding on 6.55pm which I still have time. Turned out he messed up and got to the wrong gate.

I casually walked over to L1, with no worries. Bought a glass of apple juice and asked the barrista to fill up my bottle, from San Francisco. Saw Kim Hoon sitting way front there, tried to ask her what’s going on, but not sure if she’s reluctant to describe her situations. Oh well she just mentioned that she’s OK as she has a backup plan with her sister. Guess everything turned out fine then.

Got on the plane then messaged mom. Should have messaged when arrived on airport. Tried meditating on the plane but couldn’t push past 100 plus.

Had a roast chicken meal then asked the cute, Japanese girl? Beside me to give way to the toilet. Back to seat, set up the headphones and return to writing this journal, it’s 8.44pm Malaysia time.

Landed safely with no delay, immigration has no queue, got my luggage really fast and grabbed the dtac. We walked out the airport heading towards the hotel, even if captain say its 700m definitely feels twice as long carrying all the stuff.

Finally found the Don Muang Hotel, let’s take a pic later of the front door. The room is clean and OK. Rest for 5min then got out and eat at this generic noodle shop.

Hit the bed around 11.30pm and woke at 6.30am.

Write this plan for later. On last night 09.04.2020, definitely hangout at nana. On 10.04.2020, try to date miso.

Flight back is 5.45pm. From mo Chit to dmk is less than 30min. Bts maybe 30min. 3.00pm start from a bts station should be fine.

If couldn’t get her then hangout with the gang or something.

05.03.2020, bkk, very early

Wakes up at 6.30am bath, take the stuff then go, do some warm up to get the blood pumping if has time.

Got up then walked over to 711 to look for yoko yoko. It seems non existent there for similar products for body pain. Got some nice breakfast from the snack section, a nice pork burger and a cheese sandwich. Walked over to the other side and checked another 711 and its the same product they offer. Anyway, manage to get the safety pins.

Got back, hangout with the guys a bit and eventually the driver arrived. He’s just a dude and not a serious tour guide guy so there’s some serious miscommunication.

Kim Hoon described her situation in detail and Lee and I chipped in. We discussed a few other things as well, such as the Chinese situation in Malaysia.

After some long talk, we stopped by the road side a little I think around 11pm. Then eventually we reached a hardcore tourist trap floating Market. Did the usual touristy thing, ate a bowl of terrible Tom yam. When we got back to the starting point, I washed it down with a can of coke. We drove another 5min then reached this cafe by the highway. Ordered a latte frappe and a chicken salad. Its 12.51pm now.

Later we reached a huge temple with a tram to go up. The temple is called Wat Tham suea. Its has a magnificent Buddha covered in gold paint measuring 15m tall, in a sitting position. It has some huge pagodas to the left of the statues but we didn’t get up there. Hung around 30min then we got down.

Things get a little hectic as Lee and Kim Hoon scramble to make calls to the erawan center to inform them of late check in. It took another hour to get there. We passed by a gigantic dam along the way. Reached the park around 5.30.

Unloaded our stuff and walked 500m to the bungalows. Exceeded my expectations, it got a nice bath with heater, and aircond. Got our immediately and ate near the center.

Had 5 dishes… Sharing around 130. Got back to the room and the sky was about to get fully dark. Bath and wrote the journal, it’s 7.19pm now.

Rested a bit then went over to Lee’s room. Heard some stories of hardcore hiking from Lee, mostly from Kim Hoon. Then she told her epic tales of food finding in Japan and Taiwan, didn’t really know she was a hardcore foodie. She went on and on, I guess I’m too tired to talk something else. Earlier we also discussed about tibetan air burial rituals. Seems macabre but would be badass to actually witness it.

After that pierre seems a bit obsessed about his misplaced or lost charger for his iPhone. Supposedly Lee shared some blame because he didn’t pack it for him or he woke up too early or some such. Didn’t really know the story why those two are so bro and always share gears.

Well, didn’t stay long enough to eat my noodles, just brought it back to the room. Ate it then plan the gears to bring for tomorrow.

Got everything covered, a bit heavy though hope the ankle is OK and the hike not too insane. 30min for Lye Kit, maybe an 1 hour up for us? Stamina not really an issue, just agility.

Going to listen to music a bit more as I write the journal and wrap up today. Its 9.49pm now. Already brushed teeth can hit it anytime.

Hit the bed at 10pm.

In the mpv, meditate as much as possible.

03.03.2020, office, 8.45am

Woke up and did the usual abs workout. Legs feeling better, knees a bit damaged but should be fine. Ate some peach with yogurt today.

Left early but still jam… Well still reach office by 8.45am. Gonna start the day with a 1min meditation.

Got a bit more briefing from Alice. Replied Edwin, then worked on the goods issue ticket. Had a good research, straight flow, a good story. Reply and update the ticket then check with ee bing if my story is correct.

Went to lunch at sunway giza, returned by 2pm. Spoke with ee bing, then wrote an email to chuah. Let’s see how his response is.

Updated the ticket to nurul. Meditated. Was preparing notes to handle the smart form request then got a message from lily from dksh regarding ticket 37051. Immediately checked with alice. Got a quick briefing from her on how to update the cr process. As the man-days from abap are approved. We can update to begin development, we just need to add, how many abap man-days are approved for and re attached the functional or program spec.

Time to get the smart form thing pushed for abap estimation as well.

Perform the time sheet at 6pm. Checked with Alice, she created one more project type for on boarding. Completed for the month of Feb, filled up the dksh sheet as well. It’s 6.57pm now.

Got reply from chuah as well. Nice, agreed that the checking is legit.

Spoke with wee boon he mentioned that all other modules are not worth it, focus on sourcing, do more study on that.

Meditate in car then move out. Pack more stuff, then get ready for tomorrow.

Home at 8pm. Abs workout and then bath. It’s 8.32pm now. Meditate a bit.

Packed my gears, just left the socks. Bring the goggles? OK do it.

Slept at 11pm and woke at 6am actually. Slept a bit more and got ready at 6.40am.

02.03.2020 home, early

Wake up at 7 am as usual. Snooze 5min, right eye has a bit of pressure. Eyes a bit dry. Perhaps slept on the side too much. Adjusted the aircond middle of night. Got a good breakfast hope it helps with the energy level.

Reached office early a bit, 8.40am. Meditated in car then went up, met a new guy called Andy. Put down my cushion chat a bit with bren then started work. Manage to convince adeline to use the reversal style. Chat with Joyce, nice lady from Sg It. Replied on the Pir thingy. Now will give a quick check and response the aging report.

Lunch at this cascade office center level 2, next to the western style restaurant. Had a huge plate of indo mee plus a bit of chicken. Didn’t finish all the carbs, need a constant flow.

It’s 2.05pm now, working on the gr aging report. Will check back on 3.30pm once the background job complete. Albert messaged me if I’m good to meet. Let’s see if both of us got the time.

Going to check on the PIR once the background job for zmyle is scheduled.

It’s 3.32pm now, understood Stella requirement perfectly. Testing the upper lower limits now.

It’s 5.00pm now, got an ides ID and tested how the OMET works… It really require a pair of ID for it to work properly or people with different roles. It only works on the item condition level.

Still need to figure out how to block it at line item level. Solve this!

After that back to the Pir.

It’s 7 pm now. Got Albert at 8pm, time to get ready to move. Tell mom will be back late.

For the gr aging report try take the m17 and nd9 group, collect and gather the movement type, unique list, vs some. Of the bigger valued groups and see if there’s a different.

Remember to take the stick down and clean it a bit, duct tape the tip.

Met with Albert, reach Putra mall at 8.10pm quite a good drive. Chat a lot, he bought the meal, thanks. Then I brought him back to hilton, finally got home at 10.20am. Surf a bit, bought the photobook for rm40, remember to use it!

Sleep at 11pm. Had a long and great day, let’s do it again.

01.03.2020, home early

Woke up at 9.06am, still tired from the hike some slight injury in ankle. No excuse, get the abs workout. Done workout, resting now, it’s 9.47pm. Heart rate a little low. OK… This is it, no twice special in a weekend. Only once.

Go checkout crystal crown Hotel pj for the spa sometime.

Go complete the return goods process.

It’s 1130am now. Check the process for 30 to 45min. Pack gear for 45 min.

Did some checking on the return goods, it is proven that the accounting doc that have a separate line of payment to freight as it is statistical. Will make the full process posting for a normal po and check the results.

Ate the spaghetti and drank the coconut juice. Quite nice like a milk shake but still prefer the clear version. It’s 2.00pm now.

It’s 2.30pm now a it sleepy, taking a 30min nap. Ended up with a 1h nap. Woke at 3.30pm. Its 5.24pm now, checked in air Asia, topped up the baggage, ask the counter if its only 1 way. Throw the stick if yes. Remember to bring duct tape.

Didn’t have a really good sleep. Somehow wake a few time.
