i'm finally back in front of my laptop... only got back friday nite... and i just woke up... yesterday was so so tired... anyway.. did anyone miss me while i'm away?? hehee.. nah.. i dun think so... the one who will miss me, is with me in bangkok.. hehee..

let's recap -

day 1 - reached bangkok close to noon.. took tiger airways... not bad lar... nothing much to comment or pick on.. cos there was no service.. hahaa.. for the price we are paying.. i'm fine with it.. bangkok was raining.. heavily... we took a bus to our hotel area... after some bumming around... we manages to find our hotel, but there was only 1 problem... the road a flooded, seriously water-logged to the calf... so yah.. my shoes got soaked... i forgot to bring slippers, yanli's better off, she has slippers... we stayed in this hotel call baiyoke suite, and our room was at 41st storey.. never stay so high before... and for S$80 we got a super huge room, check out the pictures... yah.. the room not bad lor... quite shuang... but it does look alittle old, a little retro.. haha.. we walked to MBK to look for food and shop around... the 1st day was not very good, i was feeling rather sick after awhile... den din feel like shopping anymore... first day actually quite wasted... could have done alot more....

day 2 - woke up early in the morning for the buffet breakfast, i think we were the first few.. the breakfast not bad.. full international breakfast... unlike the last one when i came with vball team... breakfast cannot compare.. hahaa... scrambled eggs, half-boiled eggs, omelette, sunny-side ups, bacon, sausages, vege, chicken, fried rice, fried noodled, french toast, pancakes, cereal, salad bar, many diff bread... lots of stuff lar.. ate like mad... hahaa... look at the photos and u'll know.. hahaa.. after the heavy breakfast, we went to take the LRT to the jetty to take boat to the grand palace... the last time din go into the grand palace cos gotta pay... so now go... still gotta pay lar, but we not as stingy as fung... hehee.. the palace pretty big.. took quite a few photos there and the emerald buddha temple.. we followed closely to tour groups so can listen to their description for free.. hahaa.. some of these tour guides really animated... a lot of stories.. hahaa.. can be script writer.. cos a lot is fake one.. hahaa.. but the auntie/uncle tour grps will never suspect anything.. hahaa... after that we took boat back to the LRT jetty and shopped in the area nearby, not bad... but din buy much a few tshirts... we ate macdonalds for lunch.. and yanli ate happy meal cos they were giving away heffalump figurines.. hahaa.. fast food in bangkok is very very cheap... so suppose to go to the patpong nite market that nite but i dead beat after the whole day of shopping.. so instead we walked around the nite stalls near our hotel... we managed to buy some stuff and sunglasses for ourselves and eileen too.. hehee.. i bought a pair of nerdy ones.. hahaa..

day 3 - we gotta make full use of our last day and do as much shopping as we could.. haha.. so we started shopping around our hotel since morning... cos we are situated in the fashion wholesale district.. so actually have a lot of variety of clothing to choose from.. but the only problem was sizes.. cant really fine sizes to fit either of us.. hahaa... but still bought a few pieces here and there lar... checked out at noon.. den took our bag and carry on shopping... went to the computer center and it looks exactly like simlim square.. hahaa... freaking resemblance... we ate A&W for fun... cos very long never eat... root beer float and waffles.. yummy... the electronics in bangkok actually not very cheap... almost same as singapore... buy electronics go taiwan... buy clothes come thailand... hahaa... it rained while we were at the IT mall... and we had to take a cab to MBK... we met this SG couple and we shared a cab with them to MBK... feels like a female dominant pair.. the guys talks alot.. while the gal just stare at him for talking to much.. hahaa... afterall the last minute hassle at MBK we finally had to leave.. so we went to the super long taxi queue to hitch a cab to the airport... when we finally got on, guess wat the taxi diver said... 400 bht to airport... i was like... wat rubbish... we were willing to give him up to 300 but he din give in so we got off... but by then we were already out of the queue already running late... but luckily we flagged a cab from the middle of the road... and we still got to the airport in time... the jam as rather horrendous though... i still paid $300 lar... i over paid him... cos this one was nice...

hahaa...so back back to singapore.... bought perfume at the duty free again... my display cabinet is getting full haha... went 85 market to eat with mum and yanli... by the time reach home almost 2am liaozZ...

den yesterday 7am i was up... mum send me to tj for vball.. i was too early so i went to the hawker opposite to eat breakfast... ate pork porridge with you tiao.. haha... yummy yummy.. hahaa... vball was okay today... i wasnt really mobile and kept receiving ball with only one hand.. think got 2 reason.. 1- my reaction too slow... 2- i too lazy.. haha... gotta improve...

after vball ball i went home to get car... den went to esther hse... helped her moved her stuff to hall 6... i simply daze around at ther room while she goes around cleaning EVERYTHING... can understand her excitement.. hahaa... it wun stay neat and tidy for long anyway.. rite mei?? hahaa.... first time i see a room other den yanli's hall 13 room... esther's room is much bigger.. but also much older... pros and cons lar.. but i prefer hall 13.. hahaa...

in the evening i met up with my 4E gang... tenghui's father regularity at striking 4d/toto simply astounds me.. yah.. he is giving a treat to everyone... why?? cos he is the son of a 4d winner... i guess his father won quite big this time... so so impressed... he must have lead a very hard previous life or done a great great amount of good deeds... unimaginable... hahaa.... they actually went to play pool after dinner, but i was too tired... i sent silie and fuliang to the pool centre while me and yanli came home...
