Me back from BKK!!!
wahhahahha....



waking up this morning to my own room makes me miss Bangkok so much!
not that the hotel we stayed in was fantastic, but it's the thought of waking up to one whole new day of shopping that makes it exhilarating! teeheeehee... and of cos seeing your loved one beside u first thing in the mornings * :)


Day 1 - 6th Dec, Wednesday
might not be even considered a day, but a night, keke.. cos our flight to Bangkok was scheduled @ 1030pm.
I spent the afternoon packing my stuff while listening to my mom's incessant nagging and baby was still working till 5pm. He had to rush to get his work matters settled, go down to the travel agency after work. by the time he reached home, it was almost 7 and we needed to reach the airport at 9pm, that left him an hour or so to pack his stuff..
baby was so exhausted from all the rushing when i saw him. so poor thing.. it makes me feel so bad for feeling upset with him the day before. im sorry bb, for not understanding :p


bb requested for the window seat and there we are! yeahh..
the view from our window :)
tat's the left wing :D

dinner on board was spicy chicken rice, some cold cold noodles, cut fruit and a hard bun.
i hate the smell of airline food. makes me lose my appetite yet i still managed to finish the piping hot plate of rice, hehe.. but decided to give the cold noodle a miss.. yuks

bb was disturbing this little boy at the other seat by making funny noises and actions cos the boy was imitating whatever he was doing -_-
i had to threaten him to stop cos the dad was looking. haha

by the time we checked in our hotel, which was at the heart of Chinatown, washed up and got ready for bed, it was almost 4am in the morning...


Day 2 - 7th Dec, Thursday
woke up for buffet breakfast at the hotel.. the food sucks.
haha..
i finished only like 20% of the food i took? bleah.
dear lagi best, he knows what exactly to take cos he's been there so many times liao.. never warn me.. i took so much of the unpalatable stuff :(

anyway, we went out for shopping right after breakfast. shopping for necessities like his shampoo, bath foam, body powder and his hair wax and gel -_-
he win liao lor.. he brings his old clothes and shoes to wear and throw on the spot, haha.. and buy new ones to wear back home. tat will save alot of luggage space as he claims :)

he says we must dress down when we're overseas so that the thai people wont TOK (aka. 'chop' in hokkien) us.. cos he speaks thai and can easily pass off as a local.

BUT
everything about me just screams "IM A TOURIST. COME TOK ME."
:(


so jeans and gaudy accessories were naturally 'prohibited'.. even my favourite pasttime--> cam-whoring was also 'banned' by him, cos that was the Ultimatum --> Photo-taking = 100% tourist haha :(
i was darn sad cos i couldnt take any pics..

bb wanted to cheer me up so he volunteered to take the photos of our lunch - Bah kut teh.. (almost gobbled up by then)

cos i didnt understand why he disapproved of me snapping away..
not until he explained the rationale behind it..

HOR.
never tell me earlier how i know.. explain to me then i will understand la, then i wont take anymore, keke..
felt much much better after i understood the situation.

more shopping till nighttime!
the things over there were damn cheap! whahahahhaa...
he brought me to wholesale centres and we shopped like crazy!! :p

we then proceeded to MBK in a Tuk Tuk for more shopping! hehe :D
i love sitting in a TukTuk! loving the thrill of speeding through the streets and feeling the wind against my face.. even thou the air there is damn polluted..i dont care! whahhaha...

we didnt even have our lunch and off we went straight for SHOPPING, SHOPPING and MORE SHOPPING!!!
i was literally shopping like mad there and he paid for everything! wahhahhaa.. sorry, no photos taken cos i was busy! :D

the things weren't exactly cheaper than the wholesale centres, but if u're thinking of getting the stuff u see in singapore for a cheaper rate, that's the place to go! hehe..
variety and style beats the wholesale centre's hands down.
bb was encouraging me,"dont think liao, just buy.. just buy."
wahahahhahaa.... im a pleased bitch!! wahhahahhaa...
bought a denim jumper, 2 tops, 1 bag, 1 pair of shorts and 1 dress there, hee..
NOT ALOT right heh...

moreover, the weather was warm and definitely doesnt help abit, keke..
after 3 long hours of shopping, we went back to Chinatown for Seafood dinner again! hehe.
