Bangkok Trip

5.40am.
"Mrs Chia, my phone wasn't switched on. It was a little cranky the day before and I think it failed again. Am I late for the flight?

6.10a.m

In cab and uncle went like 130km/hr

6.45am
Changi Airport. Ran past 100m, 200m, 300m... lost count. GOSH Gate 19 is the furthesT! Yikes.

7.00am
Reached gate. Just in time for boarding. Flight took off....7.10am. *phiew*

Was supposed to reach airport at 5am. When was I ever late? Haaa I mean... er.. this late? I guess this is what I call 'once in a life time moment". Won't wanna relive it again. I strongly felt that it was God who woke me up. I mean 5,40am. What a weird time to be awake isn't it? Felt totally bad to have Ella (the local tour guide) and Mrs Chia to wait for me til I reached. And of course to have Siew Chin and LeeLian to run through every floor in my block just to look out for my purple NIKE shoes, attempting to find my unit is really a *sigh*. Thanks guys.

Anyway I made my way up on Jetstar and *Sawadikah* reached Bangkok at 9.30am (sg time).
Day 1 - Temple visitations and Suan Lam Market @ night.

Shao and I on the nearly broke down bus in Bangkok... heading towards the temples.
At the king-used-to-live-in palace. Its scorching tell you.. urgh.

Shao and I looked totally small in comparison to the grand palace behind us. Since I am in the palace... doesn;t tat makes me a princess? Hahahah Princess Soo Wei. Sounds nice. I LIKE!

Went for a quick swim on the first day and then head up the the observatory area our hotel - Baiyoke Sky. Claimed to be the tallest hotel in Thailand.

Standing from the 78th floor of the hotel, the view captured is nothing but
a piece of concrete jungle.

Was a little bored til we met Shawn - Mrs Chia's son. Cute hor? Another 6 year old. He is rather shy. Din wanna take a picture with us til I told him, "Shawn, you should take a picture with us cos one day Shaoying Jie jie and I are going to get rich and famous and then this picture that we take today is going to worth a lot." Haa Yes. I really told him that.

Breakfast time with Lee Lian... I lurve brekkies.

With Li

*Fly me to the moon* I wanna sit in a real one....

Shao din wanna sit a real TUk Tuk with me so I gotta take pic with this.

Day 2. Temple visit again followed by Chatuchak

Nothing to do... so waited outside the temple and took pictures. Siew Ling and I.
Bih Jeng - My mortal during the trip. She wanted to eat A&W curly fries.
But I couldn't find one and so the ingenious me DREW it for her.

Saw this lotus outside of the temple. Can't help but to think of how creative God is to have created so many different species of lotus. This one is so pretty... even the bees wanna take a look.

Bought this small pineapple at JJ Mall and it cost me 30 bahts. But its super sweet.


We had our lunch at MBK and well I guess I just had to give KFC a try there. :)

But I still think that Malaysia's is the nicest. Din really like the oil smell from these chickens.

Even Ronald Macdonald looks diff there. Ha.

We then took a skytrain to Central World. Nice ride.
Day 3.
Ooooo this looks digusting but its YUMMY! Nomtak style slurps. Had this at Big C.

Had a fruit buffet for 150 baht right after pedicure. Tell me, what kind of life is this? *grins*

The fruit aint that nice la... photos are deceiving k?
However I had cravings for mangosteen so yeah.. still satisfied. :)

While waitin for the coach to come pick us up.. bored girls do crazy things.. haaa poor Dyan.

Like I say, I was bored! URGGH!

Took this pic from the bus. It was sunset... Can't wait to get home....

We were there at 18:10.

Siew Chin and I were bored.... waiting... and waiting and waiting.....
BOy! Are we tired!

Took the last pic with Zuli - the sweetie before boarding.
