Sawadeeka! I'm back! okay honestly, i want to stay there for another day. yeah its just the school blues la. but too bad. cannot skip any more lectures. Hrm lets' start from christmas eve.

Christmas Eve.

Went to school then skip SF and then went to jurong point to meet Amanda and spent 20++ on Fish and Co. cool. walk walk see see.. and went back to home just in time to catch the folks going out to Great World to watch National Treasure. Show was overall okay. i mean what can you expect an aging Nicholas Cage to smooch a young mid twenties girl. watched "When you're sleeping" and then went to sleep.

On the day ...

reached the airport at 6 plus? and then went for breakfast at some teeny weeny cafe. stupid policeman.. at the immigration counter. BLEAHX. Met neighbour who is going back to India. didn;t see us.. so i.d.c. went to the gate. used the internet.. almost spolit the airpot's computer while checking for Sukuna's annoucment. DIDN'T RUN for seats. managed to get a seat. played uno and always winning those two boys drank $2 coke. Managed to ask Uncle Steven to doup the questionaire questions and touched down in Bangkok international airport. Spent half and hour looking for some vans to bring us to Pathuwan Princess. yoo-hoo. in the end.. took a taxi there.

Put everything down at Melvin's room, cos my family's adjoining room wasn't ready. so changed for the weather and went down to MBK. SHOPPED. went to the supermarket.. everyone was like oohh its cheap! cheap! cleared the entire row of Johnsons and Johnsons' clean and clear daily pore cleanser. shopping shopping shopping.- bought ULTIMATE Kylie at 390 bhat. met the rest at the hotel and went across the street to have authentic thai restaurant. everything is small there. so order quite a bit to fill those boys empty stomach.

home sweet home. Melvin slept at our room without knowing. His folks came to fetch him back..

second day.

EXPERIENCED EARTHQUAKE.

i was down at the lobby with Garry reading newspapers. I was reading about Tata Young.. how she took the world by storm. okay not world. Asia by storm. then saw some pple wearing Pyjamas. i was like.. wah! please dun tell those are Singaporeans.... that is so ugly and yew. P.Js?! carried on reading about TATA YOUNG. then my dad came and pick us up. as usual " where have you been" "YOU KNOW THERE'S AN EARTHQUAKE?!" what?! an EARTHQUAKE?! didn't feel anything... went to J.J. market on the BTS. Melvin's uncle thought that he was having stroke because the night before they went for massages, and perhaps the person pressed on too hard. It was literally "Spinning around' Later we heard tat Phuket was caught by a Tsunami and Indonesia had a 8.9 ritcher scale earhtquake affecting all the way to Sri Lanka.
Going to J.J market . diaster. just put it that way. we are to go to "Raffles Place to change place. we did. but we went to "Orchard" instead". so in the end managed to go back to "Raffles" and took a train to :"Pasir Ris". reached Chatukchat. bought fake shoes and soap for the girls. didn;'t find anything that they wanted. its not hot at all... went back to the hotel to load things and then went to Black Canyon and its VERY CHEAP! went on to the central plaza and shop again. boring la! ... and went all the way to BAIYOKE sky tower too see the entire view of Bangkok. went to have dinner at Chinatown. Jammed a bit. on the way. Gramps called and started screaming into the phone receiver and then Uncle from HONG Kong called. at dinner time messaged Aunty Kim for assurance. and also askin how was Singapore because in HK reports were saying that the earthquake is terrible. but in the end we are in Bangkok. heez.

last day - the day i supposed to go for lectures.

okay woke up went to the floating marke. in the end found out htta the taxi driver cheated on our money and went to the WRONG one. went to Grand Palace. walk walk see see. and then decided that we should go to see the Four faced Buddha. which Nicholas TSE and family will make it to there every year. hrm. stupid taxi driver.. took a VERY big round and caught in a jam. Aunty Mary called. and said that she will be at MBK. forget about Four faced buddha went straight to MBK ate at the basement and the shopped again till 2 . 30 pm. went back to the hotel and took a shower. yeah. SHOPPED AGAIN at MBK. then went to check out. Ciao! going to the airport by giving the driver a flat rate of 300 bhat. ate in the staff canteen.. ooh nice.. thai food. and then did not run for seats again cos there are plenty of them. reached singapore at 11.55. by the time i reached home it was 12 plus. and slept by 1 plus. ciao!


C'est tout.
p/s : If i EVER HAD THE CHANCE TO GO BACK TO BANGKOK. I'LL SPEND THE ENTIRE DAY AT J J MARKET.
