Thailand 2007 with SCB (^_^)

27 October 2007 (First Day):

First step on Singapore Budget Terminal.. waiting for departure to Thailand ~
("-")

On Board the budget Tiger airline.. --> A 45min express bus ride to our lodging - Samran Hotel --> Tired timing: 9 plus pm... In order not to waste our time, we took a cab to Suan Lum Market. It was already 10 plus.. An architect (forgot what it is) at Suan Lum Market. Shooting at the door does make you look haunted (referring to the person under the yellow light) The other view of Suan Lum Market.. --> Shopping time so no photos.. --> I remembered the first item i bought is a pair of birkenstock for pk.. Hungry hungry hungry.. (both of us has not have our dinner yet!!!) So we had our dinner place at Safari Steak. Actually both of us were finding a large food area recommended by SCB's bf but we simply could not find it. It was damn damn late and we were super super hungry so we just settled down at this place to eat..This meal costs us 660 baht ~ = $28!!!!!!! Furthermore, it's not really worth the price.. --> At Samran Hotel at midnight. Unable to sleep well... 28 October 2008 (Second day): A small blur mistake made by me in the morning. Owing to 时差, i forgot to adjust my hp timing by 1 hour later and despite having lack of slp, i managed to wake up at 6am!!! (i wanted to wake up at 7am -_-) Blur me woke up, took a bath and only then realised i woke up 1 hour earlier!! Poor SCB was awakened by me too....... hehe Yummy... delicious breakfast from Samran to start off our first morning in Thai Thai~ Setting off to our first journey of the day --> Chatuchak Market!!! SHOPPING HAVEN!! (9plus am...) Behind SCB is Chatuchak market (crowded with cars & ppl...) We walked and shopped from morning all the way till 5pm and i could still rem both of us were so tired after the long and hot and squeezy shopping. I didn't get as much as i expected but SCB bought quite a lot i tink. Here are some interesting scenes we shot during our shopping: Chio photo (credit to my lovely friend SCB ^_^) Yup! She is holding the teh tarik sold by the above encik! HEHEHEE..........we took several photos and all are blur!! (credit to SCB also...hahah) Food stall along the road.. Street performer.. there were quite a few of them and most of them are of young age. I remembered SCb has videoed one young gal who wore big pink wig and danced according to the music blasted from her stereo. I'm impressed by her courage but at the same time felt sad that they have to come out on the street to perform at such a young age.. Our lunch.. Awww......... i simply cannot resist the cute dogs sold there.. Everyone that stepped into Bangkok will definitely step on foot to CTC market. Everything can be found there!! From clothes, bottoms, accessories to ornaments, kitchen wares and even pets! After a bath back at the hotel (and to throw all our 胜利品 in our room), we went to MBK to dye our hair as recommended by SCB. It was indeed worth it! 不止不会很贵。。There is a computer at every seat for us to surf while they work on our hair!!! You won't be able to find such facilities in Singapore saloons at all! I leisurely checked my emails, chatted with my friends on msn while waiting for my hair to be done..how i wish every saloon is like that and ladies will not have to wait for 3-4 hrs for their hair to be ready (especially when you are doing rebonding!) SCB is very nice.. we didn't have time to have a proper dinner so as to make it within the saloon operation time, she went to da bao for both of us so we could fill up our stomach while dyeing our hair in the saloon. So we were eating, surfing and dyeing...keke.. thins like this will only happen when i'm with SCB. However SCB was not satisfied with her hair colour so we went back to the saloon the next day to redye..She was really satisfied on the second dye though.. Tada! Our hair has transformed~ We tried Green curry and Pad Thai for dinner... ended up i think it sucks...esp my green curry... 我们的胜利品！！！ * * * 29 October 2007 (Third Day): On our itinerary today is The Pratunam market and the Platinum mall..Although these 2 places are wholesales places, you could still find good and cheap clothes here. I got most of my clothes in the Platinum mall. As for the pratunam mkt, it was a big disappointment as my expectation was high to someone's comment that it is a nice shopping place. The way that leads us to platinum mall.. ~ Lunchie time at the food court inside Platinum Mall We took a hell lot of time looking at the cute cute things inside this shop.. was extremely amazed by this (towel squeezed into cake & ice-cream design)! At that time, it was not out in Singapore yet.. Well.. we head back to MBK again as SCB redyed her hair while i shopped ard in the mall. As compared to MBK, i felt Platinum & CTC are definitely better shopping places for the girls.. people used to tell me MBK is recommended for shopping but i guess it is overrated. Both of us were hungry after we get our shopping and hair done so we settled at a Japanese restaurant for our dinner. 看起来好好吃对吗？我根本没有吃到！！！！It was an incident that I could still remember clearly. The restaurant was about to closevbut they were still taking in orders.. hence SCB and I have ordered our food. My food arrived first and out of habit, i waited for hers to arrive before i savor my food. During the wait, we chatted, we joked, we took photos but the most regretful thing we didn't is to try my food! (SEE THE nice picture above, drool..) We waited and waited and waited.... suddenly we find it odd that SCB's order took so long. In addition, we also observed that the next table persons who came later had their food already. Of course we called the waitress and tried to ask her about it. Their explanation was that they forgot to inform the kitchen and the food was not prepared at all!! Okay, fine.. we can forgive about it if they could prepare it. However, they told us that they can't cos their cook has already left! (at this point, both of us were quite fed up due to hunger... due to the wait.. due to the constant communication barrier btw us and the waitress + manager (Yes, we are in Thailand) and due to their attitude) Obviously it was their fault but instead of helping us to solve the problem or attempt to offer any compensation, they gave us an non-sincere and unhelpful look! We were so fed up with their attitude that we raised our voice! In the end, he said they will cancel the bill of our arrived food. Both of us were so fed up that we didn't want to eat at that place anymore and left. (that goes my untouched sashimi..) Walking back to our hotel, we changed to eating at a steamboat place. Well, although it is very cheap (only 110 baht per person - About S$5!! @_@), the food does not look very hygienic though. SCB: "gosh, all chao ta....." 30 October 2007 (Fourth Day): Siam Square~ review seems to be good on this place so we decided to dig out this place and Shop! We had a hard time finding it and no one was able to give us a clear direction.. in the end we tink we found it (which i'm still not sure if it is Siam square though. Anyway, we saw many Bangkok students while walking ard. Some of them were really prett... and although they were in uniform, all of them were wearing different pretty shoes and has let down their nice long hair... too bad i didn't get to secretly shoot them. SCB's camera were going crazy at this pt too. We went to ICE Monster! I really like this place cos I like their ice dessert~ Towards later of the day, 我们找到一个好好逛的地方，就在MBK旁边..it could be hard to find cos only one storey of MBK has a link connected to this place and it is not very easy to find. (I suspect this should be siam sq instead) I bought lots of clothes here and guess what? We even did nail design too! Cheap cheap cheap sia... My fishy fishy foot.... i miss the fishes... SCB's flowery hands... chio hor? Following the link, we went back to MBK for dinner. Mr Meng's Dim Sum.. hehe.. i like this place too cos their dim sum is quite nice. However, SCB has a headache so didnt get to enjoy the food.. All my favorites.. hehe...... We ended the day with tibits shopping at the local supermarket.. 31 October 2007 (Last Day): I dun remember exactly where we went to on the last day but i vaguely remember shld be platinum mall. We did not really finish shopping the whole mall so we went back on the last day. Even on the last day, i bought a lot of tops,hehe....... On our way back to the hotel.... We made a good deal with the cab driver who drove us to the airport...=) It's 2009 now and i hope to go back and renew my closet one day.. =P -HOME SWEET HOME-
