Ordinary Saturday Morning

Woke up at 6am today (its 7am in SG), but its too early for me. So lazing in bed, listening to BBC (well, the TV is always on). Finally decided to start my day early, 7am. Washed up, went to have a run in the gym (no air-con, old machines, run down gym) at the apt. Realise how unfit i am as i am panting after a short 20 min run. Desperately need to get back to fitness to prepare for the annual IPPT. I have no intention to fail, in which will have to take those dreaded remedial training. I had seen how those guys suffered.
After which, i decided to take a walk around the neighbourhood. I have never done it in the morning as i am always too lazy to do so on weekends.
There's a bustling mkt just around the corner. What is always so quiet in the afternoons and evening is actually a "wet market". Its actually quite dry and clean.. much dryer than the 1s in SG.
500g of prawns = THB 100
100g of biscuit with jam = THB 20
Tomatoes, carrots, Xiao bai cai = THB 50
100g of Mangoes = THB 20!
DimSum (sun kuei) = THB 15 each
There were durians, but i couldn't smell them. But by the time i return back to find the stall, it was gone.. darn! So was the watermelon stall..
Interestingly, i never quite like to go to the mkt with my mum. Coz i hate the smell. Now , bo pian.
Just a simple day in bangkok..
