I'm back
I'm back
I'm back
I'm back
I'm back
Yeah!!! I'm back!!! Even though i have been back fer more than a day but i am still excited abt being back home. Even more happie when i look at the things i bought back from bangkok...My luggage increased from to a modest 6.2 kg to a whopping 13.4 kg and that's not counting the hand carry...haha that's a lot of things i bought back!! Damn proud of myself but as all humans are greedy, now i am regrettin not buyin more...haha well, here's a recap from sat to tues...
Sat
Landed on bangkok at 2pm bangkok time (1 hr slower than Singapore) and again i malu-ed myself...realised that every trip i sure have some malu incident...without fail, and hongyi mus remind me of it on the way back home...hiaz, can write book alr lor...anyway, we reached the hotel at 345 and was more than an hr before schedule so it felt reallie good. Saw jialing and elaine at First hotel lobby and i was damn shocked la. Imagine seein jialing so many miles away from home, seldom see her walk ard in sch then can meet her at bangkok...how shockin!!!
Our first stop was Pratunam market and it was rather disappointin cos i din buy much, save fer a few resort t-shirts that required stretchin cos i am toooooo FAT!!! Was so hungry there that nothing looked good or was is becos nothin looked good that't y i felt hungry...i oso dunno. But well, went to eat sandwich cos i saw nothing worth buyin. After that walked walked a bit then go eat seafood dinner!!! It turned out to be quite expensive but the baked prawn was damn damn good...it's huge and i mean real huge!! It was so big that i couldn't believe it's prawn, kept exclaimin that it's lobster, yah, u get the idea la. And the best thing was it was not oni huge, it was damn delicious...the tot of it make me hungry alr...haha
After dinner, we walked to Big C and Zen that area where o bough the bulk of my ear rings...its so cheap it's criminal can? oni 65 cents and u get a pair of nice dangling ear rings...regret not buying more...i can never have enuff of ear rings (even though i oni have 2 piercings) Bought dunkin donuts and had the look-good-taste-good vanilla donut...HEAVENLY!!!
Sun
Took train to Mo Chit (beside Chatuchak aka the weekend market) and saw a lot of SMU peeps and i mean alot...haha kinda feels like the whole LTB class was there...Bought alot of stuff and it's reallie affordable...bought so much that now anythin that is above 8 bucks (200 baht) feels expensive...sufferin from the Great Bangkok Sale hangover now. At chatuchak, it's reallie jus grab and go kinda scenario, anything that i can fit or seem to fit i jus buy, and it feels good to be able to squeeze in after tryin it out back at the hotel, but there was this pair of 3 quarts that i cant fit...damn wasted. pink colour lor, sianz!! Nvm, at least never waste, zj could fit in...hee
Well, at nite, dunno y but i jus couldn't sleep. It was a good thing jh was wheezin away cos i felt a bit uneasy in the room, jus feel insecure and even though i was tired, i jus couldn't drift into lala land. I tried not to tink abt it and i tink it was abt 20 mins before drowsiness took over. Can't believe i am so timin when in Singapore i have no qualms abt goin to sleep all alone at midnite when nobody is at home...maybe bangkok is reallie unclean...but more imptly, i tink it's the bible that i saw near the bed. I never have a good feelin when i see bibles lyin ard in hotels, too many dramas i tink...sheesh
Mon
Went to Yaowarat aka chinatown and suay suay got a blur driver, dunno whether he blur or he purposely drive us ard to cheat us. Made one big round when we act reached without noein, act jh saw the hotel but the driver keep on goin so me and zj tot she saw wrongly...damn, she was rite la the hotel was jus to our left lor...nvm oni 20 baht more nia, not even one buck, so i shall let i rest. Well, Chinatown was pathetic, i conclude that u should oni go there if u wanna set up a business cos everything there is wholesale one...for example, if u wanna buy a pair of shoes, u need to get a 6 pairs, rangin from the smallest size to the largest...damn sian lor cos i saw a pair that i like and i dun need all the sizes ma. Aniwae, the bags are worth buyin, but need to buy at least 6 and then can get a rebate rate of 150 baht. hee bought 2 bags and i am gonna say this again, i should be bought more. hee
Proceeded to Siam sq at abt noon cos chinatown was simply too borin. Adidas at sian sq was obviously overrated and we left fer MBK without buying anything. MBK was good, lunch was cheap, costin oni S$2.5 fer a 2 piece chicken and a coke. Shoppin was even more fabulous...bought lotsa fake polo shirts, 199 baht bags and local products. So happie, managed to buy my fav "dogshit" aka compressed pork floss if u tink i like exotic food...haha Bought so many things that we went back to hotel to put down our stuff and go back to MBK to continue...Too many bags made shopping difficult and browsing became obstructive. Felt so good to be empty-handed...hee
Had dinner at Thailand's Sizzler fer one-third of Singapore's price and again, we all stuff until wanna die...seriously bad fer the stomach but it's a buffet, so cant blame us oso...*embarrassed smile* After dinner, it was round 2 of shoppin. MBK is a shopping paradise but be prepared to pay a little more cos it's air-conditioned but Chatuchak is still the best if not fer the stuffiness and crowd.
Wanted to ton whole nite one, but bain and hy conked out at ard 1am and jh followed suit. So at abt 1 plus, me and jiahuan went over to zj and sh's room to tok lor...drank alc and had donuts...but i also din last long, jus curdled up on zj's bed and if jh din wake me up i would have jus slept there...haha Went back to my room but since hy and bain were sleepin soundly, me and jh went over to their room to sleep instead of wakin them up..
Tues
Alomst couldn't wake up if not fer jh's consistent wakin...was zombiefied cos of the late nite. Had a 80% full bf and it was time to make our way to the airport. Reached there early and took a few pictures, din take much cos it was a shoppin trip, not a sightseein one...haha will post them up when i get my hands on it...wheee!! The best part was the weighin of luggages...it's amazin how our luggages managed to be below 15kg despite all the crazy shoppin...mine and bain's luggage weighed the heaviest at 13.4 kg...even jiahuan's birkenstock weighed less...i am surprised jus as she was disappointed...haha
Tounched down on Singapore at 2 pm and it was post bangkok shoppin at the duty free shop. Bought Bailey's so good news to all mj kakis...haha bribe me la...hee
Well, rather late now gotta go sleep.
Here's a quote: Forget about the Great Singapore Sale, try the Great Bangkok Sale!
