Went to the check in area. I am going to bring in cabin luggage only and of cos my bag. I am quite surprise that my cabin luggage weight 6kg. In my luggage , I did not bring much stuff. I even give a miss to bring my running shoes , I am going to wear my New Balance shoes instead. Will you want to guess how heavy my luggage will be when I am coming back to Singapore? 

2 hour - 2 hour 15 mins flight from Singapore to Bangkok ! 

This is my second time going to Bangkok and I am so excited because I am going to shop a lot and bring back lots of lots of clothing back.

Before the flight , I was feeling unwell and I thought maybe is due to the car sick but after eating sweets I thought the pain is gone but after a while the feeling came back again . I think it might be the dinner I had last night before heading out  :( Hopefully , I feel better when I touch down to Bangkok . I don't want to be sick throughout the trip ! Stomach please be nice to me , can?

Safely arrived @  Suvarnabhumi Airport BKK . Came out crazily looking for the tour guide or the driver. They suppose to wait for us then drive us from Airport to the hotel . But we keep searching high and low for them but we see no one. So my friend Cindy got to call all the way back to Singapore to check if they can help to call the driver. I think we waited for about 15 - 30 minutes ,  in order not to waste time waiting we went to purchase SIM card from 7 eleven.

I will introduce everyone to sign up the brand " TRUE MOVE" 3G tourist Inter SIM which cost 299 baht= $12.72 . Is unlimited usage of data for 7 days. Its cheap and worth it. Because nowadays people are very into social media - people like me  always post photo on instagram @tiffanywong and Facebook ! So having unlimited date usage is very good ! 

Post the photo anytime and anywhere !

Our mini coach came and send us to our hotel . During the bus journey , I think I am super irritating . I download Thai apps which is called " Thai Lite" and I keep practicing inside the bus . I think I am way too Lousy in my pronunciation till the driver keep laughing at me and correcting me . But I guess in this way , it will break the ice between him and us and at the same time we all can have fun too . Holiday is = FUN !  Despite practicing so many times , I don't remember it. At the end , I give up man . I just speak English and if cannot I will just used international sign language.

By right , the room should have 3 beds instead of 2 .
It's because we check in early and they have not yet bring in the third bed.

Such a small place , I wonder how are they going to put the third bed ?

 Everywhere  in the room has mirror. Now there is more reason for me to take picture.

" Night Market " just outside hotel . 

During day time , there is still stores that is open . 

Usually during the night , there will be more people and more choices of food and shopping ! 

LINE is the first thing we saw when we reach SIAM SQUARE.
It's so cute , how can we not stop for a while and snap a picture with the cute background ?

YO EVERYONE ! I AM FINALLY BACK TO THIS MINI BLOG OF MINE !

Those who is on my other social media should know that I have just finish my first race of the year. The race name is World Water Day 2015. It will be held at Singapore Sports Hub area on 21 March 2015 ,it's a one day event . I not sure whether is this the first time they have this event ? But i am sure is my first time racing. I be rowing for Dragonfly team aka Singapore National Parks Board and Kiyah-Splashh !

The very first race is actually the mixed category and dragonfly is actually in the heat 01 , lane 06 . I think there is good and bad being the first . The good things is that when you did something wrong , they will not be harsh on you. Like for example : Leaving from the shore to the starting point , there is a distance . And when the boat row toward there , they should use the lane nearer to the shore instead of the open sea.

On the starting line , FOCUS and going to pull the hardest water and to do our very best . To be honest , i did not expect anything from my team ,i just want everyone to really focus and fight for what we want . Despite knowing that our competitor is very strong , we still stay steady and just do it . I am glad and proud to say that Dragonfly got in 2nd in the first round ! I am glad that we managed to be on par with one of  the strong team. 

I believe that we can get 1st if our last charge could be better . 

At the end of the day , Personally i feel a huge sense of achievement ! 

From nothing to something. Because we are quite a new team and we only started training

during July when i just started working in National Parks Board. This is only our second race and we manage to fight all the way up to Semi-Final. Due to the bad weather , we don't have the chance to fight our best into Finals. But still . Look at those happy faces ! 

This shows that despite not winning , we still can enjoy the whole process together!

The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together , the club won't be a dime.

Kiyah-Splashh Ladies Team 

With Team President Raymond + Coach Hao Yuan 

Been rowing for Kiyah-Splashh since my ITE days when i first started Dragon-boating. Till today, I am glad that my senior Karen introduce this sports to me . Without her , i don't think i will be doing Dragon-boating ! When i joined the team , there will not much ladies and throughout the year , we have problem forming a ladies team. Only recently years , we have more and more ladies joining our team and can even form 2 boats if everyone were to come to training regularly. 

Based on the race result , the first heat we got 3rd position.

I did share with my team during the briefing that personally i am not satisfy with the performance just now , i really think and believe that we can do so much better ! After that , i did think through the whole race inside my brain to re-prepare myself again for the race. We did not get 1st position therefore we will need to go  to repechage. And guess what during the repechage , we managed to get 1st and we won a local school team ! Imagine school team train about 4 times a week and for us we only train 2 times a week . Hmm ! This prove that despite being physically strong , we need to be mentally strong too . So what you are physically strong , but when the other boat side by side with you and in your mind thinking that you are going to lose already . With that kind of mindset, it's really hard to win. So a reminder for you and me : 

Physical STRONG  + Mentally STRONG = POWER !

Great to see some of my friends :) 

Overall , it was a good race to kick start the year . I am looking forward to more races and hopefully we are able to walk home with a cookie !

Let's us train hard and always remember that the greatest competitor is not the boat beside you but is yourself.
