Sat Arts Festival

went to the boat quay arts festival to check out their grand opening, apparently some performance on water. reached there 7.40 already super full of people, super crowded (show starting at 8pm) only can see ppl's heads in front of me.

front part of the show is super artistic, someone rowing a boat, got car floating on water, most memoral is a lady in red riding on a big wheel in the water powered by a man below her (hmm, this description seems weird, aniway u get the idea) ...

the ending is POWER, darn chio fireworks, a good 15min of fireworks, fantastic!

after the show walked to clark quay there to try out the famous bak kut teh. Jam likes the bak kut a lot. we both like the intestines, yumyum! the salted vege and peanuts is erm, so-so. we very heng to be early, cos a few more minutes, everyting is sold out...grinz

Sun Food Expo (eat eat eat!)

heathly sun, went to swim, grinz

Presenting my BKK TRIP!!!

1st day Sawadika!

Took thai airways, quite good, got chio air stewardessese,grinz. loved the thai food served onboard (return flight even got white sashimi, yummy!)

while serving us food, the air stewardess is about to ask us whehter we wan chicken or beef in english, but she stopped halfway to look again at me, then look at Jam, then confidently asked: !#$#%^&**..? (chicken or beef in thai words). me and jam found it so amusing LOL.

reached there then not so happy le, COS WE WAITED FOR THE BLOODY TOUR BUS FOR FREAKING 1 HOUR PLUS!!! (the tour bus supposed to send us to the hotel) lesson learnt, never join 'ConXXxxxxxxx' agency!

but we were happy that our hotel is good 'Baiyorke Sky hotel' which is smacked in the middle of the busy platunum street, up to 80 plus levels,and first 5 levels are shops, best of all is we get to eat free breakfast at 73rd floor every morning, darn coolz.

the view out of our hotel room window on 29th floor

aniwaez spent evening at suan lum market, good food and a lot of things to see. hehe. ate the famous phad thai, tom yum and papaya salad for dinner at the open air hawker. don't really like phad thai cos the noodle very hard.


suan lum market hawker centre
there is a stage right in front, with ppl singing at nite

2nd day sight-seeing

woke up bright and cheery at 6.30am cos tour bus for the complimentary half day tour will come and pick us up at 7.30am

went to a temple along chao phraya river to pray pray.

along the river

trying to pose like the sculpture

pose pose

after that we were brought to a jewelery and honey shop, both is a waste of time.

then around noon, we were to taken to MBK cos the day tour finished le. bought a pair of skinny jeans (500bahts) there, later realised it is a bit too ex, compared to those at platinum mall... tried the new food court, its like 'marche' where u order with a card..prices are steep, but food still ok.

the green curry is SEDAP

after that went to four face buddha to pray pray. along the way we found a very hip and happening fashion area. clothes very 'designer' and nice, but not cheap. we very stingy so never buy aniting there.

late evening we took the mrt (not bad, got mtv to watch some more!) to explore a not very well-known nite market cum shopping centre at victoria monument square. wah, its filled with thai teenagers and things are cheap! too bad we were a little late and shops are closing...

3rd day- SHOP TILL WE DROP

realising we still got quite a lot of armor ($$$) remaining, we decided to go and whack platinum mall, the highly recommended shopping place by all! wow, the fashion there all very trendy and cheap! the catch is must buy 3 or more pieces to get good prices, but not a problem for me. met another sg couple there and we formed a mini 'attack team' in one of the shops which sell very nice dresses, since we bought total of 6 dresses, each dress cost only 170bahtS! ($8 only).same clothes as those selling at HULA in sg which cost ard 40plus. woohoo. the foodcourt upstairs is yummy and CHEAP! i loved the TUNA tomato CREPE, ate 2 days in a row!

one note is that you cannot really try the clothes, some are too small for us, heng we got one more day in thailand to go and change the size, and changing size is allowed, phew..

Proudly presenting my victory items!!!

went back to hotel then jam decided to tailor make one suit. as it is late, we went to the shop below our hotel. the 2 nepalese are very nice and honest (once jam dropped his passport in the fitting room, they ran out to chase us to return it, *impressed*) suit cost ard $150 sg, very nice, good buy!

at nite supposed go chinatown eat cheap seafood, but raining cats and dogs, so had to settle for one seafood restaurent near our hotel. food is good but not cheap, ard 900 bahts (40plus sg) for a crab, pineapple rice and tom yum..

then went to the pub at the top of the hotel to have a drink, very nice night scenery!

last day- home sweet home

morning went to buy thai food stuffs to bring back home to eat. we went to chinatown to get the food stuff, but cannot find, we ask one of the shopkeeper where is the tidbits and stuff? he said: chinatown only sell chinese food stuff and tidbitS!!! aargh, wasted our taxi money, in the end had to go MBK to buy. grinz

went to platinum to change the size for some of the clothes and did some last min shopping, anihow whack.

after that home sweet home!

why does chn medicine tastes so yucky?

today leg slightly better but towards end of the day, prob due to standing whole day during work,my leg still hurts while walking back home...

so better carry on eat the chn medicine. the chn physician prescribed me one packet of pills which is ok, cos easy to swallow (but 4 pills each time is a bit much...). the yucky one is the brown powder which come in packets and i gotta dissolve one packet in hot water to drink each time. wah sey, after dissolving, it sure looks like mud, and it tastes just like mud (i think, cos i never taste mud before). horrid horrid horrid. i gotta take a deep breath, pinch my nose and try to gulp the whole thing in, darn challenging with little success (i usually end up spitting most of them out,haha)

良药苦口，oh so true............

another joke from igoogle's 'joke of the day'

A couple had two little boys, ages eight and ten, who were excessively mischievous. The two were always getting into trouble and their parents could be confident that if any mischief occurred in their town, their two young sons were involved in some capacity.

The parents were at their wit's end as to what to do about their sons' behavior. The parents had heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children in the past, so they contacted him, and he agreed to give it his best shot. He asked to see the boys individually, so the eight-year-old was sent to meet with him first. The clergyman sat the boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?"

The boy made no response, so the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?"

Again the boy made no attempt to answer, so the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face, "WHERE IS GOD?"

At that, the boy bolted from the room, ran directly home, and slammed himself in his closet. His older brother followed him into the closet and said, "What happened?"

The younger brother replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time. God is missing and they think we did it!"

leg pain pain

BKK is fun fun fun, lotsa lotsa lotsa shopping, gooten myself 22 pieces of clothings, diff kinds of accessories, a couple of shoes...

BUT i injured my leg while climbing one of the towers in a temple along the Chao Phraya river. Been walking with a limp since then.

Today my mum brought me to a chinese physician along joo chiat road called 'ong fujian chinese physician hall' they even got website ley at http://www.ongfujian.com.sg/. Quite professional. First, one of the physicians wrapped some hot stuff on the injured part, then did some massaged, before putting those hot suction tubes. Erm, the hot suction tubes is a bit pain, but hai hao. Then he wrapped my leg up in a bandage. Then gave me some chinese medicine, some powder stuff that need to dissolve in hot water and tablets (gotta eat 4 tablets each time, FOUR! mum said chinese tablets different fm western, need to eat more each time, haha)

My bandaged leg 1 *ouch* My bandaged leg 2 *ouch ouch*

just came across a good joke from igoogle:

Marital Counseling
A husband and wife came for counseling after 20 years of marriage. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 20 years they had been married.

She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured over the course of their marriage.

Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking the wife to stand, embraced and kissed her passionately as her husband watched with a raised eyebrow. The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze.

The therapist turned to the husband and said, "This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?"

The husband thought for a moment and replied, "Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I fish."

Another busy (and HOT, gosh the weather) week

HDB hub
