illuminated of light divine
burning from within with joy
casting carelessly over hillocks and meadows
with prancing feet gliding o'er the snow

oh hi there...guess quite a few pple wld read dis entry...cos i juz came back frm my trips...
feeling tired and nua...haha...but excited cos later i'm gonna to lix's hse for class gathering! hopefully many wld turn up...
okok...maybe i'd write bout my trip...first starting wif my bangkok trip...
1 dec:
it was a last min pack up and go airport thing...we were glad we took sq and not jet star, at least dis time we have nice leg room and food and movies to watch...e 2hrs were so much better than e 5hrs we took to taiwan e last trip...or shld i say we din want e 2 hrs to pass so quickly...cldnt finish watching movie! haha...but was irritated at first cos my entertainment handset was cranky and i cldnt watch 40-year-old virgin in full...
went to suk11 hostel..missed e place..itz so nice...and how lucky we were dat a double rm was available..hehe..so we saved abit more money for shopping...
took a taxi to suan lum night market...haha...itz supposed to be pronounced as suan lom...e taxi driver was trying to figured out where we were going till he finally realised dat we were going there...aiyoh...so pls remb to learn e right pronounciation of e places when u go overseas...so paiseh...
e place was huge..itz e same place i came a yr ago..walked ard, din shop much...went to e open air area for food...e atmosphere was great! they shld have dis kinda thing in sg...open air, food ard, live stage performance, soccer on large screen tv...we ordered some food and mango and lychee freeze...was v v nice and refreshing...
2 dec:
went to pratunam market in e morn...lotsa wholesale clothes there...but we cldnt stand e heat and seek shelter in the aircon building and stayed there..haha...was feeling slpy and hungry so we went to have some coffee and food first...aft dat we walked ard and weiwei bought a suit, cheap cheap...haha...
next..we went to WTC to buy lingerie...itz cheaper in bangkok mah...and we had lunch at ZEN jap restaurant...oooh! jap food in bangkok is so cheap and good!! a muz try!!! i think we're juz real pigs...hrs later we went to dunkin donuts to have tea...b4 heading to MBK....
wah...pple at MBK were abit fierce...was given black face when we tried to bargain wif them...went to have dinner at MK restaurant...not nice lor...they din have ginseng chicken soup, can only settle for e vegetarian soup which tastes only of msg...we din order much, so we finished our food and decided to go for another round of dinner somewhere else...hee...
wanted to go try the bedsupper club..but ex lah..600bt per entry...so decided to head back to our hostel and try e food at e restaurant nxt to it...walked past a massage place and decided to try since we were all tired and aching...massage was so shiok! and cheap too! 250bt for 1hr msg...so worth it...felt so relaxed dat i was almost falling aslp there...
aft massage...we ate at e place nxt to our hostel...e food was nice...calamari wif plum sauce is juz so delicious...and e waitress serving us was so pretty! haha...such a nice place to be in...sitting on e wooden deck, relaxing on cushion and drinking and eating and chatting...it was ard midnite by den so we had to leave soon..sighz...
aniwae juz to add dat veron made us all so paranoid at seeing temples and buddha statues cos she said bad stuffs happened to her frens who ignored those during their trip to bangkok...aiyoh...it was so hilarious when we freaked out at every altar we see...
3 dec:
went to chatuchak wkend market...e place is so huge and crowded...we juz aimlessly walked ard, in and out of shops...e gals bought quite alot of accessories...wanted to buy jeans but gave up aft trying and sweating...
we juz love thai food...ate at e small stalls there...e prawn paste rice was so fragrant and nice...e red curry was equally good...had watermelon and kiwi juice which was served so nicely, even better than restaurants at hotels...and it was so cheap and sweet!!! all pure juice..so nice...
we were tired and took a cab to siam centre...road was jammed on e way and we slpt on e cab...again, us hungry pigs, ate macs for tea...
went to adidas and was damn stunned when we saw e price tag of stella macartney's design...a cap costs like 100+ sg dollars...nothing much at siam centre, mostly upmarket stuffs dat can be found in sg...headed to MBK tokyu...we sure noe how to recycle our discount coupons...den e rest bought pork floss...
we went back for massage again, dis time me and weiwei trying e oil massage and veron trying e foot massage....hmmz...it was not bad lah, still prefer e traditional thai massage...cos no need to strip...felt so weird...and felt abit molested...haha...no worries, it was a female massaging me...
had dinner back at e place nxt to our hostel...we have v nice fried seabass wif 2 different toppings at e 2 sides...simply delicious! e tom yum goong served in coconut was good too...pad thai was not too bad...damn full aft dat...
walked ard sukhumvit area...did good bargaining dat day...haha..we were lucky...
oh i met iskandar e nite b4...so coincidental...had supper wif him...he was travelling alone in bangkok...going hanoi den back to bangkok to meet fong sheng...so amazed dat he's travelling alone...i cant...haha...will be too scared...
4 dec:
