I asked Wany if she can accompany me to Bangkok and she said ok! :)
Wany bought me this cool bday card! :)
Departure: 20th October 2007
Venue: Changi Airport Terminal 2
Wany's mummy woke up so early to send us off! So sweet right? Where to find this type of mummy?But I'm not jealous lor, cos I very "ku pi" one. Like to be alone. And since young I'm not close with my own mother, that's why for the past 2 months we never see each other I also won't "miss" her. And btw, she didn't even know nor care that I'm going overseas.
Anyway, we arrived in Bangkok safely, and checked into Prathuwan Princess Hotel.
I thot it's champange, wahaha.. But actually is some sweet drink that has a sugar cane/barley taste.
The room is huge! With 2 queen size beds, and each of us have a whole bed to ourselves!
Wany straightaway bounced on the bed and made herself at home. LOL.
The swimming pool damn chio right? All angmohs basking in the sun! We didn't go swimming cos I don't like the sun, and Wany says she can't swim. Hur hur.
Went next door, to MBK Shopping Centre!It's linked to the hotel lobby, so it's really just a stone's throw away!Strangely, everywhere we go, hotel lobbies, shopping centre lobbies (even the ulu entrances), blah, there's a metal detector and a security guard! I think they're afraid of bombings or something, cos every single vehicle is screened for bombs before they're allowed to enter the hotel area.I told Wany that at least we won't die of bombing, even if we die from the heat. Strolling in MBK, we came across Wany's fave shop..
I spotted it first, and Wany nearly hyperventiled and died on the spot. It's like me seeing a Hello Kitty/Marie Shop. hahahaa. She RAN (and she never runs for anything) to the shop and shrieked so loudly, everyone stared at her lor.
Paiseh can? -______________-
Anyway, I told her we can go anytime to buy cos it's just next door from our hotel! Wah piang. Had to drag her away lor... lol.
I secretly took a pic, before the staff noticed and told me off, cos strictly no pictures allowed. So uppity for what. BAH! It's just donuts!!!!!!!!
We got ripped off by taxi drivers so many times, we lost count. Dammit.. But what to do? Tourists mah!
We like to choose pink taxis though.Anyway, we spent all the time there browsing through shopping malls and buying nonsense stuff that we don't need/use.
Central World!
Look at Wany's shopping bags!
There are two outlets in Central World. One huge one on the first floor where lots of Japanese and Singaporeans are grabbing stuff like it's free, and one on the top floor, which is so ulu and quiet, i got a shock. haha.
The NARAYA stuff that we bought!
I don't use any of these now, either worn out or hidden somewhere, cos in Vivocity, there's a NARAYA and it seems so many people are carrying these bags.. Except for the large pink one which I will use for my toiletries when I go overseas again, and the tissuepaper holder :)
I don't like commodities remember?
And talking about commodities, SO MANY MUCH MORE people are using HTC Phones now, especially my model. Urgh. It's the Pink V3 nightmare all over again!
**Pink V3 Nightmare Recap**
I saw on the internet that many Hollywood stars are using the Pink V3, and since I love pink and was using the silver one then.. me damn excited about the pink one lah! I keep calling Starhub everyday asking when they'll be stocking the pink V3, and on my 1274974th call, the operator told me it'll be avaliable at Starhub Tampines Mall the next day, so I camped out at Starhub in the morning on the next day and bought the V3 in cash and was so elated! On top of that, I was told by both the operator and the stupid counter girl at Starhub TM that the phone is limited edition, and they'll be bringing in a 1500 sets only.
2 months later, 80% of the aunties on the MRT and on the streets are using Pink V3, the price dropped to $0 with a mobile plan, and everywhere i go i see aunties using that phone with the "Lao Shu Ai Da Mi" techno version ringtone.
I wanted to die of anger/shock/humiliation/regret.**End of recap**
Anyway, I went to dye my hair and poor Wany had to wait 2 hours for me, sitting in the corner.
Idiot Wany keep laughing at the "alien contraption" behind me. BAH!
She wait until she wanna faint from hunger, but i rewarded her with A&W, and she become happy again.
Weekend Market
Chinatown (most shops closed cos it was a Sunday)
Wany overcoming her fear of Thai streetside food (cos her hunger was overwhelming. LOL)
We took the train, and they're still using farecards!
So old school! Wahahaha. And the ticket dispensor machines look like our old machines!
Inside the station, there's no escalators lor. Wany climb until she wanna faint, cos she's a old lady. HEH.
4 Faced Buddha
Random Pics of Wany
Went to MK restaurant, and i felt so nostalgic going there, cos the last time i went was 8 years ago with my mum, and the shopping centres across the road were just empty land.
Time goes by.....
Anyway, nothing changed, just that it looks the same and the service is better now.
Remember i said they had dancing waiters?
Every 1 hour the music will start, and all the waiters must drop anything they're doing, get into position and do a silly dance to "entertain" the guests.
Well, we were both entertained! Laughed until stomach pain. BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Our Buys/Loot
Wany surprised me with my birthday present while i was preparing to go to bed.
So sweet right?
I am sorry to say until now i've not wear the pendant yet.. cos i no money to buy a white gold chain to replace the silver one. (And wany, don't feel bad that you didn't buy the white gold chain, cos the pendant is expensive enuff!)
I will go and buy the chain soon to wear! I promise! (at least before my next bday. hee)
Our Last Supper (at the hotel)
And the lovely yummy sugar cane slushee that I'm craving for now...
I WANT!!!!!! I drink this everyday while i was there! Wany says it's drugged with addictives or something. LOL.But it's super nice lor. Hai.
The hotel breakfast buffet is very very good, even though the location is good as well, we would prefer somewhere near Platinum Mall (where we did some crazy last minute shopping and had no time for pictures) cos MBK has nothing much to buy and the stuff are quite expensive.
Overall, it was a very enjoyable trip with Wany, and many thanks to Mr Pipimon for my $500 shopping money (bday present cos he dunno what to buy for me).
Oh, I'll end with this siao ta po picture i took from a show I was forced to watch in the hotel room cos Wany says he look hilarious and insist on staying on this channel.
He looks constipated lor!
" I WANNA PANGSAI!" (I wanna shit!!!)
Instead of fierce and charging for war...
My friends! Looks like a lot, but it's actually;
Half of pipimon's friends.. the other half were camera shy/left early/outside drinking & smoking
The bathroom even has a window that looks into the master bedroom! And a mini TV on the wall! OMG! I love the room so much! And I had the whole unit all to myself! Yippee!
This hotel is fantastic, but I had to walk 12 turns before I can reach the room, which is freaking far away.. so it's not my top fave, but the scenery and bathroom is fantastic. It has the largest bathroom among all the hotels I stayed in, and there's a daily "Volcano Show" just outside the rooms. I didn't really like the show cos it gives out a lot of carbon dioxide with all the senseless burning of flames.. but it's kinda cool.
There are many other foods, but my meals and customers' meals are different, of cos their food is better lah.. I tried the Ginseng Chicken (above) and Abalone Porridge (so-so only).. And other types of food. It was better than I expected. =D One of my customer even treated me Spaghetti Lunch at Everland! So sweet right?
Originally she's Elson's guide and I had her brother Leo for my guide, but last minute change over.. thank god we changed guide, cos Dona is very fun and takes very good care of me. She's the best!
