Bangkok

Bangkok 5D4N

Went down KL a day earlier and had Manhattan Fish Market. The portion was BIG and AWESOME and WORTHWHILE!






Departure from LCCT scheduled at 3.30pm was delayed till bout 4 something. It was quite frustrating waiting in the queue. But we took a family photo anyway.






In the plane..

Arrived in Survanabhumi Airport round 6pm something Thailand time.


We stayed at Centre Point , Petchburi.
It was quite inconvenient we thought at first as there were no MRT or train station nearby. HOWEVER, the greatest shopping center was just 10 minutes walk away!!!!That makes it all convenient.


Platinum Shopping Mall & Pratunam Centre

2nd day
Chilling out a while at the children play ground after breakfast. Rekind back old memories.



It was on our own so we did our own shopping at Platinum. It's a 6 floored mall with thousands and millions of shops inside. We only managed to explore 3 floors not thoroughly on the first day.


There was one big problem living around this area. We can hardly find food around!!
Platinum foodcourt was considered heaven for us, especially the OYSTER..big and juicy and yummy!!Pad-thai (fried kuey-tiaw) was special and different from my initial expectation too.


Pad-Thai..

Big fat juicy oystersss...

Don't judge a food by the samples..

3rd day
After breakfast,


I can't believe I woke up at 6.15am Bangkok time for breakfast! The impossible became possible. And it was SO already bright by then.

We joined the half day tour to the Chao Phraya River. We sat the boat which was my gosh, from where i was seated, if I stretch out my hand straight, I could touch the water. It was terrifying at first, but I got used to it later.


We were cruised to a floating market, where as far as i can see, only 3-4 boats approaching us. So much so for the 'floating market'. It was an interesting experience anyhow.


Next, they brought us to the front of a temple where there are aplenty of fishes. Some tourist throwed bread inside to feed the fishes and voila!, you can see the fishes all jumping and flipping up the water to fight for a teeny weeny piece of bread. Something special bout these fishes is that they have a white dot on their head, hence, those fishes are somewhat a resemblance of 'Kuan-Yin'. Kinda cute! And the tour guide said that these fishes only stays on the side of the temple, and would not swim over the other side of the river. Also, there's this rare white fish where it is considered a lucky fishy. So, to be lucky, throw your bread to the fish and make sure the fish eats it. SWT...if it does not eat, throw more..and more and more..


Wat Arun Temple was next. There's this very steep step to climb up to somewhere in the middle of the temple. We just entered the place and was urged plenty of times by the people there, "Want go up? Pay 50Bath". We say no,no, just see see. "See see, no, go out please..". WTF. Then we just walk around the area where we would not be shoo-ed out. Puhlez lar..








Oh, there was this special ceremony going on. They are throwing gift-wrapped things into the air. People are all gushing and pushing to collect this stuff. Cute ait?

These are holy crap money money money!!!Ranging from 1-10Bath. Not bad, got people distribute money. HOHO!! Money falling from the skyyy..


Then we moved back to land and next, we adjourned to a jewellery shop. Ugh, wasting time only walk walk see see but no buy, cause too expensive.


Then we went to some honey shop. Well, at least there was free honey to drink, else i won't be sitting inside long enough till I listen to nature's calling. Next was four face Budhha, which we skipped to have our lunch. I thought the four face Budhha was a big statue monument or something like sort, but.....it was peekaboo smaller than i could imagine. Sorry, no offense! But it was really small, and it's along the road side, except that it was fenced around as it's holy.

Chillin out in McD while waiting for the other groups.



Here comes the most syiok part, Jatuchak Market.
There are like thousands thousands thousands of shops inside, ranging from clothes, vases, home deco, gifts, foods, shoes, and many many more. Unbelieveably huge, we wanted to walk around the clothes area and don't know how, we got lost round the home deco part and we were lost forever, till 6pm, closing time. SWT. It was total dehydration walking there, be sure to have at least 3 bottles of water if you are to walk around for 1 hour there.

There weren't many things to shop around (complementing the wrong side of the market we were walking), and I think I had only 2 bags?! in my hand..not good shopping day.

Then we took their Skyline Train in MoChit to National Stadium to MBK shopping mall.




The train is super nice and comfy and comparable to the MRT in Singapore. Way off from my expectations of Thailand transportation. HUH, Malaysia memang 'sangat boleh'..

There's nothing much there as the shops are closing. So, we bought nothing there but we ate a high-class meal of Vietnamese food. The ambience inside was high-class and everything looks high-class. The food was nice and nice and nice!







4th day
After our breakfast


We went to walk in Pratunam. There are quite some buys, but not as good as Platinum. Finish walking, we went to Platinum again, to conquer the other 2 floors. We moved from 2nd floor to 1st floor, but by then, my eyes are seeing stars already and I couldn't take it much more. I gave up and we moved on to eat.

MBK was next since we didn't walk much the other day and nothing much is there that suits our taste. The price is more expensive compared to Platinum. So we just went into the supermart and the ice-cream from Dairy Queen was nice! They had Oreo ice-cream in big chips which was delicioussss. Served upright else it's free. Too bad I can't get any free ice-cream.



Then we took a taxi back to Platinum and walked back to hotel from there. It was dead tiring walking for one whole day. My legs and muscles were exhausted. And I was sweaty up to my scalp and sticky. I had to bathe first upon reaching hotel. Cannot tahan! And I just sprawl onto the bed after that.

Final day
Early breakfast and the van was there to pick us up at 7.15am Bangkok time.





Bye bye Bangkok. I'm missing this trip.


Hmph, and the weather in Bangkok was so much nicer than Malaysia. Cloudy and a-bit-windy. It's hot hot and hot like no where else. Excuse the Sahara Desert. I know it's much hotter there.

Unforgettable Genting

Exams ended, Holidays come.
Mali Mali Hooome!


Genting with KarLai, MeiKee, Shanice, WaiXin, QiHua and LiPing.

First Day
Reaching up, we were quite tired so we rested in the room and had our saloon sessions. Thanks to the mag Qihua brought up.Lols!






Since it was MeiKee's birthday not long ago, we planned a surprise sort-of-party for her, which was doomed. Well, me and Bing was caught peeking and curiosity perks. So, we ended up all sitting at the table.

And some of us ended up in the casino doing a one-round trip and exited less than 10 minutes later.



We went back to room and enjoyed a little rest before scaring ourselves in the Haunted Adventure of Werewolves.


Well, this time wasn't that bad compared to first. Probably it's due to 15+ group of people entering and cramping against each other to ease of the scariness those "werewolves" are giving us.





We went back to room and had our 'alcoholic' session. The flavor initially was terrible cuz we added some peach carbonated drink to it. Bing couldn't gulp it down and said it tasted like Chivas. Lols! I had 2 shots and went to put on my face mask, continue to lie on the bed and there I went off to Alice's Wonderland.


Second Day
Since we only had 2 rooms, we had only 4 breakfast. Thus 7-4=3 could not go eat, where we ended up eating MeiKee's cake. Patheticfication. Anyways, we headed out for outdoor theme park and played a few couple of games. We went on Spinner, Super Tobogan, Merry-Go-Round, Cyclone, Bumper Boat, Pirate Ship, Fun Kart and Space Shot.











The highlights of the day.

1. We were all excited queuing up for Bumper Boat and hoped on the boat after 30+ minutes waiting time. We even chose which boat we want. Lols! After 20 minutes of bumping water into each other, we jumped off our boats and up the platform and continue on our next destination. KarLai was no where to be seen after all of us were up. Guess what happen?

2. LiPing, QiHua and WaiXin were off to some booths where people play those 'Pick Up The Ducks'. As the worker was so eager to demonstrate how to play, so happen that Bing was standing in his way. Thus the worker politely said.....Guess what?

We were laughing off our ass when he heard of it and gosh, after being up in Genting so many times, this was totally unbelievably true shocking crap.

Third Day
We woke up and this time, it was out turn to have breakfast! Buffet breakfast and not cake for breakfast. After that, we went out to do some walking and checked-out about 12 noon, en routing back to KL.

Bye Bye Genting.

Oh ya, Guess what happen?
1. We heard somebody saying, "Someone fell inside the water..". We were outside, "Huh?!". KarLai was soaking wet up to her waist when we rushed in to see her. She don't-know-how fell into the water and luckily she held the bar, which saved her upper part from dipping into the water.

2. He said, "Leng Chai, excuse me..". And there was a moment of staring between Bing and the worker. "What's the matter?", the worker asked, looking at WaiXin, "Er, is girl or guy ah?", the reply went, "GIRL AHHHHH!!!"
And the worker still have the guts to say, "Oh, sorry ah, but anyhow, you do like a guy.."

That's the family trip we had up there!

Little monsters

My sister entered matriculation all the way in Gambang, Pahang. Without her presence here, it does feel lonely. I've got the whole queen size bed all to myself, instead of a quarter of the bed when she's here. I've got holidays till September. So, suppose I still do have some time with her.

Well, started off this early morning at 7am to Gambang and reached about 11.30am. That's pretty fast. I think daddy sped at 150kmph all the way. Phew!

It was really hectic for the registration process, altho I'm not involved. Everything was done at 2pm except for the dorm keys which can only be collected at 2.30pm. In the mean time while waiting, we shifted what called a total of 60kg stuffs up three storeys. Or probably more.

On my first step into the hostel ground, I felt this sudden tight grip at the back of my leg. Very very tight grip. And it felt heavy. What my reflex told me to do is to sweep that darn thing off. After a few swept, it flew off and gave a thud sound on the ground. Horrorfully, it's the Black Little Monster.

Alright, I thought it was just that one and only one. To my horror, awfulness and ewwiness, I saw the whole family tree there. All around the place. On the stairs, hundreds of them, wriggling their feet and back spinning. It was really all over the place! Toilet, washing sink, everywhere!Ugh..



It's like they're saying, "Welcome to ourz territoriez..". Bug Bug.

We all live in perfect peace and harmony

Hi, I'm white, internally but I'm encapsulated by an external layer. People would call me 'chap-chung', or preferably 'cham'. I don't mind, cause I think I'm more of a faker. Don't judge a book by it's cover. Nice on the outside, the inside, well, you have to judge it for yourself.
(what the hell, I don't know how is it related. But let's just follow the story..)
I am as you can see could not stand vertically, but I could roll about horizontally in manners you could never ever imagine. Twist, release, dissolve, THE END.


I'm White. Don't mistaken me for Paracetamol. Uphamol 365 however is my elder Brother. Anyway, I'm a pure breed of my species, totally white. And that's why I'm also called 'Purity'. I come from the very special ethnic of 'The Purity-ness', whereby people of my type are typically phenotype identical and you can surely differentiate me from the other ethnics very much ethe asy.


I'm Orange, inside out and outside in. I've got some specks of white freckles on me. Well, that does not make me an 'ang-moh', but it's just something I applied onto myself earlier on, so that I look more Outstanding than Capsule and Purity.
(Plain orange don't work..)


Us 3 lives together in total harmony despite our differences and basically there's no language barrier cause all we had to do is just to follow and walk down the path of Gastrointestinal Tract. Which is also our alma mater of life.
