26-310309:eating, shopping & walking trip in bangkok

it was a 6D5N trip to bangkok travelling with teddie & his sis+baby jet. all i can say about the trip was fantastic as we have great accommodation in a bangalow (eventho the distance to shopping district is 1hrs+), food was 5 stars all the time & shopping was grade A++

260309: it started off with bad weather which caused airasia to delay taking off from 5.30pm to 6.30pm. after arriving bkk, we were on a LONG Q at the custom to check on our passports, by the time we got out of the bangkok international airport, it was already 8.30pm (thai time). we were starving & we went into the nearest restaurant about 5km away from the airport to dine in... the setting of the restaurant made our jaws dropped...as the concept behind is meant to be a giant sampan floating seafood restaurant... not forgetting to mention, the bills too! we headed off to Suan Lum Nite Bazaar for a 'starter nite shopping'.








270309: MBK Patthunam Center! my lunch was my long-waited SOMTOM, it was awesome big time... really wish to bring them home!! anyway, we shopped level by level & not forgetting our favourite brain-freeze chocholate frap at Mr. Bean on ground floor, yummy... we even tried our 1st McPork aka Samurai Pork Burger, Sweet Corn Pie, Medium (Large size in msia) with Thai sweet & spicy sauce at McD for our early dinner at 6pm. We continued shopping at Suan Lum Nite Bazaar again after that. The coconut ice-cream was nicesh at 25baht, including half young coconut as the "bowl".

280309: LOOK!!!! I need bigger eyes to browse thru the fashion here at JJ MALL!!! It is a newly built aircon mall next to Jak Tu Jak, the price is 10-50baht more expensive than the hot tanned stalls. which i caught fever after that... which reminded me that i took part in the Earth Hour by switching off my room lights to zzz from 9pm till next day morning!


290309: Platinum Center, which happened to be the best price shopping heaven for fast fashion & accessories! as it is a center that sell everything in whole sales price as long as you buy more than 1 piece from the same shop! Oh yea, the foodcourt system are great in bangkok as it is no longer the traditional way of buying coupons to exchange food, instead, all values are keyed into a magnetic card, each time we order, the cashier will slot my card once & print my receipt order with my credit balance. wooo.... anyway, most of the shops closes around 6pm, traffic was horrible & the cabs & tuk tuk wanted to tripple charge us to Siam Paragon, therefore we took the challenge to WALK over...and ask the passanger on the road for direction. After 30mins, we finally arrived! The foodcourt setting was excellent & attractive, however, it is kinda overprice for the normal tasting food... well, what to do, it is the branded mall!






300309: It was our last day to shop! We managed to shop at Siam Square for more things & meet up Urnnie's family at Siam Paragon again before we head off to Suan Lum Nite Bazaar for seafood dinner + LAST CHANGE TO SHOP!!!~~~ When time ticked around 1230am, we decided to take a spin at China Town (Yawaratt) for Sharkfin Supper with rice...OMG... it was so YUMMY eventho i totally disagree to have supper in my life, but it was just too tempting.....







Before we packed all our stuff into the luggages & bags.. teddie & i decided to snap a pic to see how much we have bought for ourselves + souvinirs the pass 5 days...


310309: Just before taking off at the departure hall at 2pm at the international airport... dead tired yet enjoyable trip =)

240309:at a wedding banquet

out of boredom, we took pictures at joanne's wedding at the red rock ballroom...

110309:gloomy day

i curled up like a cooked prawn on my bed this morning, the weather was chilling & i wished i could have slept longer, but hell no, it is time to get up & i was very late to be at work!

as the morning sun shine, i began to feel the heat from the ground when i walked from the car-park to the office building, i thought of sydney... a place that has weird weather all year round.

when the clock ticked to 1pm, it was time for lunch. drove home & the heat outside was so bloody hot & the reflection of the windscreen of other's cars opposite me was so annoying... i wished i could close my eyes to rest instead. therefore, i requested to switch driver when we return to work...felt so tired.

it was near 4pm.. the sky turned really dark. within short time, it rained so heavily, thunders & lightnings hits like every 5 mins... we were advised to save our files on computer & etc.

mm...no wonder people would make comments, and compare human's characters to the weather. if the nature could switch in within hours, why not human's feeling/mood. i guess the weather must have collected all the "frustrations" inside the clouds, finally it is releasing all the stress... :P

100309:egoist = me, myself & i

sms received. content: pls pick me up in 10mins time, tq. (time:2.42pm)
missed call. (time 2.46pm)

arrived destination, "din you receive my sms? i waited for 15mins! i better depend on myself as no one else is depend-able"

i appeal by showing proof via the records on my mobile.
conclusion, "it was all YOUR fault, your mobile phone is not working properly, my calculation on my watch is the accurate ones!"

to cut the story short, i may be the youngest under the same roof, i chose not to continue argueing over split milk with an egoist, but it doesnt meant I am a coward. i suggest to sms "PICK ME UP NOW" in future than giving "time allowance" for ppl to drive to the destination.

090309:working on a public holiday

it was raining heavily, weather was chilling & the best thing was... it is a public holiday for prophet muhammad's bday!!!! yeah yeah.. dreams on... unfortunately, i got to get my lazy bum to report to work in the office.

all staff were "working" happily in the office... jokes, laughers, chatting, computer paper printing, filing cabinet slotting in & out, even the receptionist was holding her cups of coffee walking around to do "discussions" with others... but wait, there was totally NO INCOMING CALLS at all!!!!! it feels as if we are the only office that works.

anyway, since everyone was being so motivated in the office, eventho majority of the big bosses were out of town, therefore i also took out my "to do list" book & check... & i see this...



wow! looks like i am done for the day, have a good evening!

070309:gathering with highschool babes

it has been 10years since we left highschool. eunee & i was on msn decided to make a mini gathering with a few babes at autocity for dinner at 7pm.

went to pick up siewtheng at her place & waited for her to breast feed her 3 month old baby Dylen. she looks gorgeous eventho she is already a mommy. we met up at manhathan fish market with eunee, hongfei joined in later. selena was caught in chauffering her mom from island shopping, therefore she was late for dinner, instead we met at fuel after dinner... there was where the party began.

we started off with 6 bottles of tiger as it was still happy hour at 830pm, played pool, chit chat and took some snap shots.

as the nite carried on with more order of beers and ciggies as the games we played gone wild!

we dismissed around 11pm, and it was great fun hanging out again after 10yrs
