Wow!! What an amazing week!! =)

This week had been really amazing. I came back fm Bangkok on sunday n saw meiji's sms that there is a KTV session on mon so i decided to go despite having not pack my luggage! haha. i am so glad to see my uni clique again! its nice seeing you all, miss you all soooooooooooo much. colin, meiji, shimin, irwin. too bad juice,el and hsu were not there. but we had great fun doing stupid things like not paying for my share, bitching about jenny, and stressing out over story ideas for internship. we also discussed what to wear on first day of internship. hahaha. it was great fun!! i miss colin esp, cus he went to taiwan n havent seen him for long. We gonna have a kickass countdown party on the 31st at meiji's house!! Yoohoo! i think we gonna turn her house upside down! haha. too bad i forgot my camera that day. din take photos. i love my uni clique!! MUACKS! i miss elrica, hsulin and justina!! see u on 31st! =)

then on tues, it started to rain CATS n DOGS. was supposed to meet onglai for movie but the rain was just crazy. i decided not to go out in the end cus i HATE the rain and i couldnt bear the thought of running thru the rain n risk getting drenched even with a huge umbrella. i am sorry gal! sorry that i couldnt make it that day!! luckily, i m meeting shereen on 26th for movie. so happy n excited! cant wait!! miss you gal. :(

wed i went to meet curtis for xmas shopping!!
xmas shopping with curtis is great! he is such a good shopper. super on!! i m glad that our friendship all the way fm alley bar survived till now! i believe in maintaining friendship with all my friends so i am really happy that me n curtis are still good buddies even though i had quit alley bar long ago. he is my best buddy fm alley bar man. always make me laugh n have mee pok at my house downstairs at 4am after work last time. with willy, mabel, tony, my sis, alan.. so fun lah!! i kinda miss alley bar days. they were crazy n fun. curtis is a friend who always make me laugh. and i believe that friends who make you laugh are the best for keeps. =) we went to vivo to shop for presents and i bought a shot glass, a card, and a funky box for wk. curtis is mad!! he bought over $100 worth of things for all his frens. so nice! we took some photos outside vivo cus the view is terrific. its such a romantic n lovely place to chill out with ur frens or other half. :) i think i am a romantic at heart. haha. anyway these are the photos of me n curtis.

After 4 hrs of xmas shopping, we headed to food republic for my FAVOURITE HOKKIEN MEE!!

everytime i go food republic, i ll eat the hokkien mee regardless of the queue. and i rem i even quarrelled with wk last time cus i wanted to eat it n he dint want to cus the queue was very long. haha. cant believe we quarel over that. its so funny just thinking back.
anyway, i think food republic's decor really rocks lah!! the one at vivo is even better than the one at wisma. it is so much more old school!! I have never loved food courts, in fact i detest them. but food republic rocks my world!! it has helped boost the image of food courts in sgp. haha.

So fun lah! shopping with curtis!! i am gonna meet him again hopefully next week to go down to Wine Flair to chill out. See if i still have money left! :)

Rest of my days at Bangkok!! =)

Well, the rest of the days in bangkok were lots of shopping! hahah. i was too busy shopping that i din ve time to take photos. haha. bought soooooooooooooo many pretty clothes back! woohoo! i think i am NEVER shopping in Singapore again. haha.

We went to this pretty botanic garden where we got to see the thai cultural show which was pretty enriching. they performed a cultural dance, thai boxing and other good shows. i kinda enjoyed it except for the fact that they allowed too many ppl into the venue and there were no seats. haha. this is a photo of the thai boxing match. it's just a performance though, not a real match.

After the show, we went to take a walk in the botanic garden and we took lots of pretty photos there! there were many pretty displays made from these small clay cups. my family managed to sneak in some time to take photos of the beautiful surroundings. yippee! =)

Thats my grandparents! i love them so much. check out the surroundings. its so surreal and pretty. being there really does wonders for the soul. i miss bangkok!! :(

look at the 1st picture. that is an elephant display made of tiny clay cups!! isnt it amazing? my family just had to take a photo with it. heh. and the 2nd photo is jus me and my sis acting vain. haha.

and thats a TUK TUK made of tiny clay cups! its really really cool man.thats my mummy who is the "driver", and me n my younger sis behind. i love this photo! so cute! haha. The 2nd photo is my family again with a butterfly made of clay cups too. i think thai are so skilled. they can make anything with their agile hands!! wow. i really have an urge to document thais and their ways of life. mmm.

and my family! all of us present except my dad cus he is the camera person! too bad he isnt in the photo, if not it is really "quan jia fu".

We also went to DreamWorld!! It's really a heaven for ppl who love thrills! its so much better than erm, pasir ris theme park. hahaha. The entrance!

There are many places for you to take photos near the entrance of the amusement park. it took us a long long while before we got to the rides because we were so captivated by the surroundings and were busy taking lots of photos. here are some of them!!

i think its a very romantic place to visit if both u and ur bf/gf loves to go to the amusement park. there are many areas designed specially for photo taking. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this car of love! haha. i think it would be so romantic if me n wk came here the last time we came thailand! its very very prettty n its like a wedding car made of preetty heart shapes. and in case u are wondering, there r all made of flowers n leaves. really pretty n cool. Do come here with ur loved ones for a holiday next time! you will love it! and u ll ve many more pretty photos to keep! =)

We also went to this Giant's House in which everything inside belongs to this sleeping Giant. i could feel the kid in me again when i went in, like how i used to believe there were giants in the world. everything inside was humongous!! look at the rocking chair n dining chair! they can easily fit all of us in and more!!

And... Time for the rides!! We took all the rides inside but only a few photos cus after a couple of rides, you tend to forget about photo taking which became a hassle. hahah. frankly speaking, the rides were not very scary. as compared to Genting, the rides are like 100 times milder. genting ones are damn hiong! haha. but the viking was scary. i screamed till my heart n lungs almost dropped out. hahha.

and then, time for some more photo taking before we bid farewell to lovely DREAMWORLD...

THe 4 of us became famous overnight by winning the "Dream World Bodybuilding World Champion" held in Thailand. look! everyone is asking for a pose from us!! hehe.

Lastly... Check out my sexy Grandad and Grandma as The Flinstones!! Super adorable! Cheers to sexy grandparents!! Woot woot!! =)

I LOVE my family! muacks!! :*****

BANGKOK ROCKS!!

Hey people! i am back fm bangkok! what a kickass trip!! the trip was soooooooooooooo fun, i dint wana come back at all. it really did alot for my soul as i just relaxed and spent quality time with my family. i loved it. thats me and my sis on the first day in bkk! =)

this trip is kinda different fm my previous one cus all i did was shop thruout the 5days when i was there in july. but this time, as we went with a tour, we went to all the tourist attractions. it was so fun lah!

on the first day, we visited the chao phrya river n we got to see the ppl living by the sea & their way of lives. it was quite an eye opener. it makes me want to embark on a photojourn FYP on the thai ppl living by the sea and their way of lives. but nope, i already formed my FYP group n i LOVE my grp, and we are definitely not doing photojourn FYP. hahha. but well, the ppl there used their sampan boats to sell fruits and little souvenirs to earn their money and it was really encouraging to know how ppl are contented with their lives even though it is very simple.

we also went to the tiger zoo and i got to carry a tiger cub!! it was kinda scary cus the tiger cub was very heavy, but it was hell of an experience man. :) i also hugged a baby orang utan who is soooooooooo adorable. i want him as my pet! =) we also saw the crocodile show n the tiger show. they were amazing. it was really scary seeing the trainers perform difficult tricks with the fierce animals. my heart skipped a beat when the crocodile trainer put his head into the crocodile. havent got the photos yet, they r with my sister who refuses to pass me the photos yet. damn it. the photos are really nice! will update in the next entry when i get the photos!

we went to see the elephants dance too, and they are such clever animals! they noe what steps to dance in accordance to the rhythm. they are such amazing animals! i really love the elephants, they are very cute. this is one of their performances.

i can even imitate how they dance now. haha. its really hilarious. me n my younger sis kept imitating the elephants' dance for my family and got them rolling in laughters. =) i love my family man. this trip has brought us even closer together, and i am so happy. i am a happy gal!! heh.

on the 2nd day, we headed over to pattaya beach for all the sea sports! yoohoo! the beach there is just so beautiful. the water is so clear and there were so many sea sports at such cheap prices. we took the speed boat fm pattaya to the pattaya beach. the ride there was fun sia. very fast n bumpy. my mom's cap almost flew off. haha. look at my family's faces. so funny! hehe.

& this is our tour guide who is very nice! her name is Nina. kinda miss her n her gentle thaiaccent.

it was so sunny at the beach! the weather was perfect, the water was clear, the things they sell were cheap, everything was great about pattaya (except the unexceptionally happening nightlife who made me a little scared haha). i hate rainy singapore. :( i dun wana be here, where it rains everyday. boohoo. yah, we took the speed boat to a dock where we did PARASAILING!! i have always wanted to do parasailing man. imagine just flying on a parachute and seeing the world below you. oh my god. it rocks!! it was quite scary at first but after a while it became very exciting! i really had fun doing parasailing n i wana do it again if i have the time! thats me fm afar. i know its small. hahah.

thats my mommy n my sis. my mom dint do the parasailing though. she was kinda scared. haha.

and my siblings and my Dad! waiting for our turns at the parasailing thingy. it was a rather long queue. we were all kinda scared yet excited!! =)

after the parasailing, we headed for the beach where all of the girls fm my family did manicure n braided our hair. so cheap n so nice! thailand rocks lah!!

i also tried banana boat with my siblings n dad n then we jus swam for a while in the clear waters out at sea n then headed back to pattaya. it was such a fulfiling and wonderful 2nd day spent in thailand. that was actually one of my best days there. thailand rocks. i am going back to pattaya next july i guess, wana just stay there n enjoy all the water sports. and go parasailing again! actually, banana boat is more fun eh.. everyone shd try banana boat once in their life yah? its really fun!! =) more updates about my other days in bangkok in my next entry! love. =)
