It's Not Goodbye by Laura Pausini

Now what if I never kiss your lips again
or feel the touch of your sweet embrace.
How would I ever go on?
Without you there?s no place to belong
Well someday love is going to lead you back to me
but till it dose I'll have an empty heart
So I'll just have to believe
somewhere out there you're thinking of me
Until the day I let you go,
Until we say our next hello
It's not goodbye.
Til I see you again
I'll be right here remembering when
And if time is on our side
there will be no tears to cry on down the road
there is one thing I can't deny
It's not goodbye
You'd think I'd be strong enough to make it trough
and rise above when the rain falls down
But its so hard to be strong
when you've been missing somebody so long
It's just a matter of time I'm sure
but time takes time and I can't hold on
so wont you try as hard as you can
to put my broken hearth together again?

Until the day I let you go,
Until we say our next hello
It's not goodbye.
Til I see you again
I'll be right here remembering when
And if time is on our side
there will be no tears to cry on down the road
there is one thing I can't deny

It's not goodbye

Bubbly ~ Colbie Caillat

Spoken:
Will you count me in?

Sung:
I've been awake for a while now
you've got me feelin like a child now
cause every time i see your Bubbly face
i get the tinglies in a silly place

C: It starts in my toes
and I crinkle my nose
where ever it goes i always know
that you make me smile
please stay for a while now
just take your time
where ever you go

The rain is fallin on my window pane
but we are hidin in a safer place
under covers stayin dry and warm
you give me feelings that i adore

it starts in my toes
make me crinkle my nose
where ever it goes i always know
that you make me smile
please stay for a while now
just take your time
where ever you go



[ Bubbly lyrics from http://www.lyricsyoulove.com/ ]
But what am i gonna say
when you make me feel this way
I just........mmmmmm

Starts in my toes
makes me crinkle my nose
where ever it goes i always know
that you make me smile
please stay for a while now
just take your time
where ever you go

da da da da da da da da bu dum da dum da dum da da dum ...mmmmmm

I've been asleep for a while now
You tucked me in just like a child now
Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth

It starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feelin shows
Cause you make me smile
Baby just take your time now
Holdin me tight.

Where ever, where ever, where ever you go
Where ever, where ever, where ever you go...

Day6: 2008/08/20

We back to Taiwan today.

We had breakfast at Vincent's house's restaurant after we went to Emporium for TCDC again. TCDC is Thailand Creative & Design Center in Bongkok. The website on http://www.tcdc.or.th/  

I like here very much because there have many interesting things and creative ideas that made me surprised.  Things in the shop are not so cheap but I still love  creative things  a lot. And then we went to Naraya shop to buy some Naraya's bags for gifts.

Tom sent his driver to take us to go to airport. Because terrible traffic jam so we were late. But Long was trying to go to  airport  as soon as possible he ccould. He really has done his good job, we arrived at airport in 30 minutes. We couldn't understand Thai language and we had to hurry up to check in desk. I felt so sorry about him because I hadn't time to say good-bye and thank you to him.    

I supposed to take a lot of photos here but I couldn't because my camera battery was ran out of power before I went into dinning boat last night. That is why I don't have any pictures of dinning boat in my camera. 

God! My heart is painful....I will remember to bring a battery charger next time when I travel.

Eventhough this is a short trip in Bongkok but I think I have gotten a lot memories back to home.

I spent this afternoon to try to write down anything about this trip to keep my memory because I think any impressed things I have to keep in my mind forever.

I don't want to loose my thankful to Warisa and Tom. I don't want to forget that lady was helping us when we lost on the road. I don't want to forget that Vincent's house is warm and hospitable place to stay in. And also Vincent is from Taiwan and he works hard at his business in Bongkok that I am very impressed. Jack who is working at Vincent's house, he always treated us kindness and carefully.  

Thanks to Walter and Sherry becasue they  have done a lot homework for us before our trip. Thanks our members we all were together to have safety and fun trip in Bongkok. And it's so nice to meet Greg and Eric, they are so nice and funny that made our trip became colorful and interesting all the time.

This is a great trip. Thanks to all of you....       

Day5: 2008/08/19

Warisa and Tom took us to go to Wat Panan Choeng which is an old monastery housing Thailand's largest ancient buddha image...

We had buddhism pray in here. It's very Thai style way that is quite different with Taiwan.

After that we went to a local restaurant for lunch...

And then we went to ride elephants..that is a very special experience.

It looks like we didn't do much today. Actually it is not. The wat Panan Cheong is far away from central of Bongkok and elephant park is far too. Tom drove car and we all fell in slept in back seats. Thanks Tom is so tender....

after riding elephant, we went to MBK where is central of city. Warisa gave us gifts to everyone and booked dinning boat for us tonight.  We invited Tom and Warisa to have dinner with us and we have to pay for them tonight for their kindness. But Tom said Warisa doesn't feel well so they are going home. He said he paid dinning boat tickets for we are guests and  to celebrate my birthday.

How kindness Tom and Warisa. They just got married and they spent their time with us. We didn't think it's good idea for Tom paid our dinning boat because that is expensive. But Tom and Warisa insisted their decision.

I hope I can see them again one day.

Wishing they are happiness always

Day4: 2008/08/18

We moved to another hotel which named Vincent's house today. So, just last views inside of St. James Hotel.

Eric back to Taiwan today. Before he back to Taiwan, he wanted to go to Siam Ocean World. It looks quite interesting place so we all went to there to try to get a fun. I thought ticket is very expensive so I didn't want to go and then Sherry said she didn't want to go too. At the end, we all thought too expensive  so we all gave up to get in there.

Walter and Greg went to airport with Eric, Sherry and I went to window shopping. We went to Siam center to the Mr.P shop. Mr.P (Propaganda) is a quite famous Thai designer. And then we went to Emporium where is nearly St. James Hotel and Naraya shop. We had lunch there. Before we got into restaurant area, we need take a card, if we ordered something just gave card to shop they will record price on it. We pay when we get out there.

After 4:00 pm, we all back to St. James Hotel to take our luggages and moved to Vincent's house there is a B & B hotel. The owner Vincent is from Taiwan.

We had a dinner with Warisa and Tom tonight. They took us to go somewhere a little far away from central of Bongkok. That is a beautiful garden restaurant and very delicious Thai food.  After dinner, They took us to go to a pub it called MUSE. They ordered a birthday song for me when time was at 00:00 am.. I was so surprised and didn't know how to say...

Thanks a lot to Warisa and Tom......

Day3: 2008/08/17

Today is Warisa's wedding day. Also this is one of reasons we came to Bongkok. Because Wedding was started at 8:30 am so We left hotel at 8:00 am to wedding place where is Siam City Hotel.

The wedding is Thai budhism wedding. Buddhist monks sat in front of guests. I don't understand what they said but wedding was dignified. This buddhism wedding process about one hour and then monks left , guests took a little break had some coffee or tea and desserts.

Next was bridegroom and bride knelt gave present to relatives and they gave back cash gift. I gussed.

And then the third process was guests gave bridegroom and bride water on their hands that means gave them blessing.

After wedding process, guests took a little rest and went to restaurant for lunch. Warisa is so sweet, we had a Taiwan label on the table and we got little gifts.

In this restaurant, wedding more like western style. Wedding cake and buffet and last was bridal bouquet for single ladies. a lady beside of me, she got the bouquet and she was crying.

After wedding, we started to move to The Grand Palace. Wat Phra Kaeo is located in The Grand Palace. There has different between Thai and foreigners at entry. Thai people are free and foreigners have to pay for tickets.

Later, we walked to Wat Pho that biggest and oldest temple in Bongkok. My friends had took Thai message there. I am not so interested in massage so I sat outside and waited for them. I had a small conversation with a Japanese who was sat beside of me.

We went to Suan Lum Night Bazaar for dinner. Eric suggested we should go to traditional Thai puppet Theater to watch the show. That was incerdible great show even though the ticket is quite expensive but I think it is worth to watch it. A restaurant is outside of theater that is not easy to notice here has a theater. But there restaurant fried rice and mix fruits shake was very delicious.

Walter and Sherry wanted to go to night market to look around. But after this long day, I really only wanted to have a beer. Eric and Greg didn't like night market so we went to have a drink and waited for Sherry and Walter.

After they came back,Sherry invited me to go another pub where it is just in front of our hotel. So, we went to Tokyo Joe's bar and restaurant. I had second beer there. There had a live band, we tried to order songs as like pubs in Taipei. But the singer said he doesn't know which songs we have ordered so he can't sing for us.

We just ordered " You are beautiful" by James Blunt.....!!

Day2: 2008/08/16

We all got up early and met together at 9:00 am at hotel lobby and then we went to take a sky train at Phrom Phong station where is nearly by St. James Hotel to Chatuchak weekend market which is at Mo Chit station.

There was so hot and we coudn't find any restaurant for our breakfast. Finally, we found a restaurant and ordered a Thai food for our first meal in Bongkok.   

Because it's too hot in Chatuchak market so we went to take the MRT which is Chatuchak park station to Hua Lamphong station where is nearly temples area. Before we got into metro there has someone to check our bags. I am not sure why they do this way becasue we don't check passengers' bags in Taipei.

We arrived at Hua Lamphong station and took dudu car to kao San road there have many restaurants and bars and shops. Many foreigners in there and then we had lunch at some kind of American stylish restaurant.

After lunch, we have tried to find way to go to visit temples.  A man closed to us and he was so kindness to help us on the map. And then he said each person 10 baht for dudu car to go 4 places. We thought maybe this is a good idea for we go to temples under the big sun so we accepted his suggested  got into dudu cars. 

The first temple, we didn't know where we were and which temples we visited it. We went in a temple and then a man was over there and he started to talk with us. He told us that he has something good news for us if we go to export trading shop to buy jewels at this time it's good chance because duty free.  We told him, we didn't want to buy any jewels, we only want to visit temples. Later, dudu car driver came in and said let's go to next place.

soon after, we arrived another one temple. The driver said he waited for us outside. But we went into temple and nothing there and then we went out to try find dudu car,....they gone. hahaha....we were dumped on the street and we didn't know where we were? Oh, well, yes, yes, we met swindlers in Bongkok. Fortunately, we didn't pay and loose anything, just lost on the streets. So, we started to find a way to go The Golden Mountain.

We went into traveling agency shop to ask the road. A nice lady gave us kindness advices and showed us which roads we were and where we were going to The Golden Mountain. I am sure that isn't only bad people in the world.

Because we lost so I found out different places with central of Bongkok city. There might not so mordern as well as central of Bongkok city, there was very Thai life stylish places that is interesting for me. Finally, we arrived at The Golden Mountain. The really one...

After visited The Golden Mountain, we decided to have a good meal so we went to Siam Paragon where is central of city. We had dinner in Manna restaurant and celebrated Greg's birthday there.

After dinner, we went to Naraya shop to buy some souvenirs there. I didn't feel well so after the Naraya store, they went to take Thai message and I went back to hotel.

How exciting today.....

Day 1: 2008/08/15

This is my first time to Thailand.

This trip I with friends to Bongkok Tailand. We met in Tao Yuan international airport.We were all the first time to Bongkok so we were so excited.

Flight at 22:45 pm from Taipei, arrived at around 1:30 am in Suvarnabh international airport in Bongkok. We took a taxi to hotel, when we got into Bongkok city, there was traffic jam in the street where have so many pubs and many people on the street. Now I believed Bongkok has terrible traffic jam that I have been heard before.

We arrived at St. James Hotel that the first place we stayed in Bongkok it was at 3:00 am.

これは初めてタイの旅行でした。友達と約束して、桃園国際空港で集合することになりました。皆は同じ初めてタイの旅行ですから、かなり興奮していました。

飛行機は夜の10時45分に台北から、深夜の1時30分すぎて、バンコクの Suvarnabh 国際空港で到着しました。タクシーで、ホテルに行くとき、深夜なのに、ある道で渋滞して、道の両方にpubsがたくさんあって、人が道に込んでいました。バンコクの深夜に渋滞になる光景を見て、バンコクの渋滞が酷いとわかりました。

皆はホテルに着いたとき、もう深夜の3時になりました。
