Bangkok Trip 20080427-20080430

Yoz~~~ I am back!!!!!

Hee... Only managed to come here like now, quite caught up with stuff though. =)
Anyway as this is a shopping tour so not much pictures taken.
We reached BKK at night time, only managed to touch down at like 10plus pm. Just as we stepped out of the airport was thinking of catching a taxi, as Silin said that it is cheaper than to go for the limousine services which will cost us like 900bahts. At the end as we were queueing for the taxi someone offered to take us to the hotel at 750bahts, looking at the long queue and being "scared" that there are some extra charges like toll gates and stuff, we took the offer.
It was such a long way to the city and along the way we saw like thunder and lightning, (="=) I let Silin found out my "scare of everything" character as she saw me "siam-ing" when the thunder sounds (I get startled by sudden loud noise, feels like a rabbit sometimes). After checking in and stuff I realized that there is no kettle in the room and the only source for drink is the lil' tap next to the tap for washing hands in the toilet with the sign board stating that it is drinking water, but both me and Silin are quite skeptical of the so called "drinking water". Eeeerrrrkkksss... Who knows where that water came from man! I was really thristy and so I asked Silin if we could grab something nearby for a drink or what, my dear friend is like hungry all the time one lor *BUT NEVER SEE HER GAIN WEIGHT!!!*, so we went out to 7-11 and that results in us having hotdog buns and chicken cheese burgers for 2 nights as supper. LoL.
Day 1
On the following day the first thing we do after breakfast...
Go out?

No.

Guess what???

Haha..
We went back to the hotel room to catch some sleep as the previous night we were playing our NDS with the lil' detective game that my brother has introduced to me and me to Silin, simply hooked man! Anyway, Silin brought me to pray after that lah, hee... Feel so pity for Silin who has to wait for me under the hot sun while I was praying.

Performers by the praying ground.

(Mama said it is not good to take pictures of the buddha, so I have decided to take it down from the entry.)
We took a train to the destination, didn't realized that the camera lens was fogged, only after the second picture then I realized, probably the aircon in the hotel room is too cold. =P

Foggy Lens

Train map

Me and Silin, still consider as looking fresh. Hee.

Was like telling Silin that this is our first time taking pictures together and that she has never took any picture with Kian as well, she was like looking at me with her eyes widened, "Is it?"

Anyway the taxi in BKK is really very colourful, yellow green, orange, blue... but the most eye catching one would be this...

Ta dah!
Hot pink taxi! (I call this "Pinky"). My brother would be so crazy over this (Such a big boy is a fan of pink, ever after the MP3 I bought for him he is madly in love with this pink colour. Guys! So difficult to understand).
We were like shopping here and there after visiting the four face buddha. Anyway happen to walk past this junction and saw this,

I was like asking Silin is that the countdown for the traffic light to change to green because it does not make too much sense to me, feels like as if getting the driver to get ready to charge, you know, like those F1 race? Well, Silin said that it is probably because they wanna get the driver who turned off their engine to be ready to go. Well, that makes more sense, especially with a place with such congested traffic if everyone could just turned off the engine for a while I guess it really does help in the environment.
Then we happened to walk past this store in one of the streets near Siam Center, which I have bought something that I really have no regrets in buying...

The very personalised T-Shirt!

What I initially planned.

My final product, Mama said this design is not so dead as compare to the one that I have planned. All thanks to Silin who designed her boyfriend's T-Shirt and gave me the idea!

For Xian.
Nice hor???
Silin also made one for herself and her boyfriend.

Final Products of Silin's work.

A very creative shop indeed, let you all guess what this is.

Me and Silin were like staring at this until the shopkeepers show us and both of us are like "Oooorrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~~~~~~~!"
Anyone any guess?
Muahaha.
That almost sums up our day 1 as after that, we went to MBK and looked around, didn't see a lot of things as they were like almost closing already but Silin bought a pair of socks

And that make her heartache till like now? Haha. Why? Because 2 days later she bought another 2 pair with like half the price I think she said, I can only console her that it is still cheaper than SG afterall. Can understand why is she so heartache about.

We walked back to the hotel thereafter and along the way Silin was like doubting whether I got the correct direction or not (Probably I look as if I was not really paying attention along the way when we travel down the skytrain earlier in the morning). *Wipe sweat* Lucky I got it right man if not I think Silin would skin me (Spoiling her image again)...
Hee.

Day 2

Went to Platinum today, it is like a wholesale center with a lot of things to see. Silin was trying to look at the map the whole night to look for the place but apparently it was not located in the map itself, so we decided to approach the counter staff just for directions. This is the day whereby Silin went "bankrupt". Muahaha..

Ok la. She went bankrupt mainly because she made payment for all of the things first you see, things that we share like cab fare and stuff, I was telling her that when I go back I can tell the others that "Silin包my whole trip there!" Then she will suddenly realized that a lot of people would ask her out for meals and stuff =P.

Anyway she bought a lot of things arh, so scary. And only this day then I find out that Silin has strong "electricity", keep "electricut-ing" me. -Glanced by Silin- OK LAH! I am the one lah! (Wei3 Qu4-ing) Don't know why when I walk near Silin we will both get shocked. She said it's me, may be so, I remember last time when I worked in the Green Book I get so bad static that whenever I go out of the office everyone will know because the sound produce by the static is SO LOUD when I touch the door knob, poor me have to get something to hold the knob or get someone to help me to open the door. Good thing now my company there is no need to open the main door as it is an auto door, if not I "Liao" le. I remember my attachment that time some of the beds I cannot touch because I will be shocked so badly that even patient would jump. =P

Wanted to have dinner at a steamboat buffet restaurant we happened to walk past the previous day, but plan aborted as there was a REALLY long queue there. Ended up in having some fastfood restaurant that sells rice and stuff, somewhat like Yoshinoya concept but they sell burgers as well.

We spent a bit of time chatting this night and our usual activities, the NDS game--Professor Layton that requires you to solve a lot of puzzle, it's really more fun to have someone to play the same game so that we can discuss the solution when we are stuck in some parts of the game. Hee. But I think we are both quite tired and we just sleep off after a while.
Day 3

Let me show you how 敗家 Silin is..

This is just PART of the loots! Like half?!

Okok...

These are mine...

Not as bad... r...r.....r.....i....g....h.........t....~~~

Hee. Okokok, fine, it's equally bad.

But hor, seriously speaking, I have really really SO SO SOO look forward to this trip, not only because I am getting really really tired and burnout and I need a break, but also going with someone that I consider as close friends and you get to know them after you come out into the society (which I always think that it is not easy to find someone that you can be really close to in the same company, like you can crap anything and everything with her), someone I can share things with.

Thanks Silin for taking me for this trip.

Thanks for taking all my nonsense during the trip and my crappiness, my noise production level and my snores at night (="=) So pai seh...

I am going back to the battle field tomorrow night, hopefully everything will be fine, I don't wish for the best, I just hope everything is fine. Because I will be working with my evadearest Shida, my best pal that we are so well known for being jinx when we work together in the same shift.

Anyway some other pictures:

My favourite drink in Thailand--- Fresh Coconut Juice!

The colour combination of the building and the blue sky looks very nice, too bad with tinted glass may be not so clear.

Skies of BKK.

Me being Bo liaoz while waiting for Silin at the foodcourt.

Roadside stalls, I was terrified when I saw one stall that sells fried scopions, ERKS! But this reminds me of old Hong Kong whereby they have all the roadside stores selling my FAVOURITE---YELLOW FISHBALLS!!!
